Since 1983

In the morning, Beijing Broadcasting Institute.

The winter vacation started today, and the students reported for duty, and there was a lot of chaos and noise. Fang Tingting, from the advertising department, stopped her car at the school gate and refused to enter for a moment. Her family is in the capital, and she doesn't have any classes today, so she came over to order.

After crossing the road, she ran to a newsstand and asked, Is there any news today?

Lantern Festival yesterday, is it news?

Don't be funny, serious.

That's gone.

The boss spread his hands.

whispering sound!

Fang Tingting had no choice but to look for it by herself. Seeing dozens of red, green and green newspapers on the stall, she flipped through them a few times, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

This newspaper specially invites Xu Fei, the producer and well-known screenwriter of Hutong Family, to open a column to discuss the art of film and television dramas with you...

As a die-hard Hutong fan, she naturally knew who this person was, so she quickly bought a copy. Followed into the breakfast shop next to it, ordered a bowl of wontons, and watched while waiting.

In the supplementary issue that follows, the length of the article occupies almost one page. The name of the column is On the Self-Cultivation of Film and Television Drama, the first issue, Performance.

puff!

Fang Tingting saw that the title was not serious, it had a unique alley style, and looked down in a hurry.

Juniors have been in the industry for several years, and have made some achievements... I am sincerely invited by this newspaper to open this column. I respect Chen Guan's opinion, and I look forward to communicating with you.

First of all, I would like to declare that this name has nothing to do with Si's masterpiece The Actor's Self-cultivation, it is purely a personal preference.

Since Ren Jingfeng, the owner of Fengtai Photo Studio, filmed Dingjun Mountain in 1905, Chinese movies have gone through a history of 84 years. Since A Bite of Vegetable Pancake broadcast on CCTV in 1958, domestic TV dramas have also gone through 31 years.

Today, film and television art has become a mature industry in the world and has a huge audience.

It is presented to the audience as an art form that focuses on storytelling. The most intuitive carrier is the actor, and the core thing of the actor is performance.

For a long time, the domestic literary and art circles only valued the subject matter and content, ignoring the personality of actors. It has improved slightly in recent years, at least there are special actor awards...

Today I want to share with you what is a good performance and what is not a good performance.

Remember two concepts first, entering the play and exiting the play. Simply put, good acting gets us in, bad acting gets us out.

Let me give you an example.

The last paragraph of Under the Bridge has always been praised for its delicate and meaningful artistic conception. With this, Gong Xue won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers awards, so let's analyze the performances inside.

The character played by Gong Xue has been in the queue for many years and returned to the city. She met a man when she jumped in the queue and had a child out of wedlock, but the man ran away abroad.

Gong Xue was under tremendous pressure to raise her children alone, and was moved by Zhang Tielin's sincerity, and she confides her heart at the end, telling her own experience.

Knock on the blackboard and draw the key points!

When analyzing performances, one must not single out a single segment, but must combine the scene and character.

ha!

Fang Tingting's wontons had already arrived, but she didn't care about eating at all, and continued to look down.

Gong Xue cried bitterly at first, then calmed down and said: 'Strange, why did I tell you everything today?'

Zhang Tielin: 'I understand. '

'What do you understand? '

'Anyway, I get it, and you get it too. '

At this time, Gong Xue's strong and closed heart for many years has actually been softened by the other party. She trusted and fell in love with this man, so she tore open her most painful scar, and showed him naked.

That's why after she cried, she seemed to say something casually but on purpose, 'strange, why did I tell you everything today? '

The subtext is, 'Oh, it's time for you to confess! '

Puchi!

Fang Tingting burst out laughing, she was talking nonsense at first, but it made sense after thinking about it.

Don't girls know why? She must know, so why ask? Just want a response.

Similarly, It's very easy to chat with you, I seem to have talked a lot today.

It's because she knew it in her heart, so when she asked, she was a little shy and expectant.

Everyone looked at the picture, Gong Xue was holding the handkerchief in her hand all the time, she was pinching it before, but when she said this sentence, she began to slowly wrap it around her fingers.

This is a typical example of using props and subtle movements to express the character's heart.

At this moment, it is still a preliminary test, and Zhang Tielin said I understand, and this layer of emotion has been revealed.

Gong Xue's daughter's mind was punctured and changed. Friends who have the conditions can listen carefully to the phrase 'What do you understand? '

That tone obviously changed from shyness to coquettishness.

Zhang Tielin said again: 'Anyway, I understand, and you understand too. '

The performance followed by Gong Xue is the best part of the whole film. She was startled for a moment, then leaned on the table, rubbed her forehead with the back of her hand, and bit her lower lip lightly.

The camera came in wonderfully, and it was a close-up. The profile of the seven-pointed face was revealed, and the eyes were rolling, a little bit shy, a little bit happy...

The touch that comes after all the hard work, the implicit and timeless beauty, came out all at once.

This is called playing.

Of course, some people may say, hey, why spend so much work? Is it over?

The words are correct, but it seems that there are different opinions, and the feeling is different. For example, if we understand the passage just now, we will understand what the two of them are talking about.

'It's time for you to confess. '

'I know. '

'what do you know? '

'I miss you, and you miss me. '

Goose Goose Goose Goose Goose Goose……

Holding the newspaper, Fang Tingting walked into the campus like an idiot. It was the first time that Fang Tingting felt that film and television art appreciation was so fun.

She slipped into the classroom, reported to the instructor, and then ran to Chen Xiaoxu's side with her eyes lit up.

There is no class today, why are you here?

It's boring at home. It's so easy to come and have a look after school... What are you doing with the newspaper?

I just bought it, it's interesting.

Chen Xiaoxu took a look and curled his lips.

Another example.

At the end of Hutong Family 1, the babysitter, Ge You sat on the steps and rubbed his face, which was praised by many viewers as one of the most memorable scenes. Let's analyze it in detail today.

First of all, Xiaowei is a liar, and the information is not completely transparent. What he understands is only what others let him understand.

Secondly, as a man who looks like a rogue but has a heart, it is not easy to meet a woman he likes, let alone want to marry and have children with her.

So when the police came to the door and revealed all the truth, the impact on the individual was unimaginable.

Human emotions are complex and rich, often blending multiple emotions. For example, someone suddenly heard that their mother died in a car accident and did not dare to say everything. At least the first reaction of most people must be shock, and their heads went blank.

After that, heartbreak, disbelief, hysteria, fainting, and so on will follow.

The previous plays were simple, black and white, and the characters were facial makeup. Even the mood is monotonous.

As the themes of film and television works are enriched and the number increases, the requirements for actors will become more and more refined. Such a performance with many emotional changes, I personally call it a sense of hierarchy.

Back to Ge You.

After he learned that his relationship was a scam, he was naturally shocked, and his mind went blank.

Everyone had already entered the door, but he stood at the door in a daze, and then sat on the steps.

Everyone look at the picture, just now Ge You's eyes were empty, but now they are blank, this is a subtle emotional change. So what is he at a loss for?

Is Xiaowei really a liar? Does Xiaowei like herself? Do you look like a joke? And Xiaowei's real name, is it Shen Taohong?

If it continues to change, it contains doubts, bitterness, self-deprecation, self-comfort... so many things are mixed together, no one can perform at the same time.

So Ge-yoo starts rubbing his face.

This action was designed by himself, and it was amazing. Actors are not omnipotent, it depends on how to respond, he rubs his face, covers his face, changes from expression to body, and moves down in fours and twos.

Some people said that Ge You didn't come to the show, so how could he still applaud the show?

Because his rhythm is not broken, rubbing his face adds to the effect, always giving the audience a powerful state of emotional rendering.

The audience can imagine that he is in pain, he is crying, whatever.

This is also called playing.

Chen Xiaoxu and Fang Tingting huddled together, unconsciously becoming fascinated, even the teacher didn't know it was a meeting.

Let's talk about the bad performance.

Or Under the Bridge.

The character played by Zhang Tielin is also an educated youth returning to the city, setting up a car repair stall. He is kind, upright, tolerant, and dares to break through old ideas and pursue true love.

Let's analyze a turning point first. He knows that Gong Xue is unmarried and pregnant, and has a five-year-old child.

When his mother went upstairs, Gong Xue sat down and looked back at each other.

I won’t talk about layering or anything, because there is none. Zhang Tielin looked at her, looked left and right, put a cigarette in his mouth, held a match by himself, and searched for matches all over the room.

The eyes are not chaotic enough, and the face does not have any fluctuations. You can only use looking for matches to express panic. This is a very simple acting method.

He likes the other party, and when he suddenly learns of this situation, the impact is huge. This performance obviously cannot support this turning point and lacks strength.

On the other hand, Gong Xue, she panicked after looking at each other, and immediately turned her head away to continue making clothes.

When people are nervous, they have many external manifestations, such as blinking, pursing their lips, breathing rate, slight movement of the head, movements of the hands and so on.

Gong Xue displayed it relatively delicately.

And Zhang Tielin's simplistic performance fills the whole film, frowning, sighing, contemplating, keeping his eyes fixed on one place, basically repeating homework.

Especially the last paragraph, see the comparison.

Gong Xue's eyes and smile are full of affection at a glance, and she is looking at the person she likes. Zhang Tielin's eyes are emotional, but not deep enough, and his face is still without fluctuation.

The two have gone through so many things, and they are finally going to be together, but it is difficult to feel his joy and expectation.

The tone of the entire film Under the Bridge is restrained and reserved, and the actors' style also leans in this direction.

However, introversion does not mean rigidity, lack of delicacy and appeal.

That's not called restraint, it's called not performing.

In order to satisfy Xu Fei's combination of pictures and texts, Beijing Youth Daily spent a lot of money. Technical limitations, black and white pictures, high blur, can be matched with his text description and his own brain supplement, and it is also miraculously distinguished.

That's not called restraint, it's called not performing...

Fang Tingting patted the table and laughed, Ms. Xu is so funny, so funny!

Okay.

Chen Xiaoxu pursed his lips, feeling that the writing was good, fresh and interesting, not pedantic, and had a sense of intimacy.

Followed her and flipped through the newspaper, Ah, it's gone.

ah?

When Fang Tingting was having fun, she immediately panicked and flipped through the pages a few times. When she saw that there were still four words for tomorrow, she was relieved.
