Huang Zhong took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "I have learned a lesson. It seems that the script I wrote now has many problems."

Yuan Shandao: "I feel like I'm in class."

Liu Yun said: "Are we going back to the drawing board and reinventing the wheel this time?"

Zhang Xiao continued: "When we get a script, we must first read it at least ten or eight times to understand all the character relationships, character changes, the beginning, process, turning, ending and so on of a series of things.

.”

"The more thorough your understanding, the more accurate your performance will be. In this performance, I can see that you have some skills, but you have not fully mobilized them."

"Li Peng, let me talk about you first. You are the center of the whole show and the controller of the whole show. If you mess up, everyone will also mess up. And from the moment you come on the stage, your state is not right, and your posture is not perfect when you walk.

It is not the state of a person carrying a heavy burden."

Having said this, Zhang Xiao glanced around, pointed to a bucket filled with more than half a bucket of water next to him, and said, "Pick it up and spin it around the stage."

Li Peng walked over, picked up the bucket, and turned it around. He didn't feel anything at first, but after walking twenty or thirty steps, his back began to bend, his breathing became heavier, and his steps staggered a little.

Zhang Xiao waited for a while and said: "Don't put the bucket away, stop and say your lines."

"Master...please...ask if this is the car that goes to the Summer Palace?"

Li Peng's previous lines were delivered very smoothly, as if he was reciting them, but this time he was a little tired and out of breath when speaking his lines, but they were extremely true.

Zhang Xiao was still a little dissatisfied and said: "No, your lines are a bit unclear. Remember how tired you were just now and say it again."

"Master...Excuse me, is the Summer Palace...this car?"

Li Peng slowed down his speaking speed so that every word could be heard clearly.

Zhang Xiao said: "Don't stop, keep saying this five times."

"Master...Fu...is this the car in Summer Palace?"

After saying it five times in a row, Zhang Xiao said: "How do you feel when you put down the bucket?"

Li Peng pursed his lips and said, "I'm tired. I'm out of breath while talking."

Zhang Xiao asked: "What about you, do you think there is any difference between his performance just now and his performance before?"

“It feels very real.”

“It’s more picturesque.”

“Looks very comfortable.”

“···”

Everyone at the scene was talking about it.

Zhang Xiaodao: "I often say, whether it's acting or singing, the most important thing is always three words, appeal."

"Why some people without any acting foundation can perform better than countless professional actors is because they use their true emotions to infect the audience through their performances."

"You are carrying a schoolbag on your back and holding a big bag in your hands, but your waist is straight, your walk is windy, and your speech is sonorous and powerful. Are you still an outsider rushing to get on the bus?"

Li Peng suddenly realized and said: "Teacher Zhang, you asked me to carry the bucket because you wanted me to feel the state of a person after fatigue, right?"

"That's right!" Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Actually, we have all experienced this kind of thing. The key to the problem is whether you can refine this usual state onto the stage."

"Teachers at drama schools often say that actors must learn to observe life. In fact, there should be another sentence behind it, which is to be good at summarizing."

"Summary what you observe into your own. When you encounter similar scenes, you will be able to act the character realistically and vividly!"

"Wow!"

"It's amazing."

"ox!"

The students present applauded.

Dong Dawei said: "Did you see it? This is a great director. He is very good at telling dramas."

Huang Zhongdao: "Having made so many internationally renowned films, Xiao Shen is well-deserved for his fame."

After getting the male lead, Zhang Xiao looked at the important supporting actress sitting in front of him and said, "What do you do?"

The girl replied: "I am a middle-aged woman!"

Zhang Xiao asked: "I'm asking what you do!"

The girl said: "She's just a middle-aged woman, she doesn't know what she's doing!"

Zhang Xiao asked: "What education and what kind of job?"

The girl shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "When you get this script, you must set these things, including the character's age, education, work, family, personality and even some former managers."

"We actors need a grip. These settings are your grip. A good actor will never be free. He must try his best to fit the character within the space set by the script. The closer he is, the closer he is to the character.

Your performance will be more vivid."

The girl nodded.

Zhang Xiaodao: "For example, everyone knows that Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Ka-fai likes to write biographies of characters. Twenty years ago, he took on a movie role as a gangster and wrote a biography of more than 100,000 words."

The girl said: "We have all heard about this on the Internet."

"Okay!" Zhang Xiao nodded and asked, "Then do you know what is written in his biography?"

"I don't know!" The girl shook her head.

Zhang Xiaodao: "What he writes is his setting of that character, how he got to a high position, why he has a bad temper, which gangs he has fought with, why his family members died, and a series of other things.

I wrote it all out, which shocked the director at the time."

"And the biography of this character is Teacher Liang Jiahui's grasp, and it is also the cage he has set for himself. No matter how you act, you can never break out of this cage. If you break out, the character will be finished."

"Can you understand what I mean?"

Everyone said in unison: "I understand."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "Okay, let's talk about your question separately. You play a middle-aged woman. Now we start to set up this character. How old are you?"

The girl replied: "Forty-four years old."

"What job?"

"Hospital head nurse!"

"What degree?"

"Bachelor's degree from Beijing Medical University."

"The protagonist came up and asked you how to get to the Summer Palace. Why did you suddenly get angry?"

"Because I'm in a bad mood?"

"Why are you in a bad mood?"

"Well... my son has finished his college entrance examination, and my husband and I have just divorced."

“···”

After the inquiry, Zhang Xiao applauded and said: "Okay, this setting is very good. Every time the character breaks out, there must be a suitable reason, otherwise it will make people feel fake."

Next, Zhang Xiao corrected the problems of each college, making everyone nod frequently.

In the end, he rearranged the work and found that the effect was not even the slightest bit better than before.

"Is this the strength of a great director? It's too strong."

"I feel like today's class taught more than I have learned in a year."

"This is the first time I have experienced the charm of an international superstar. Xiao Shen is awesome."

"I love the Laughing God so much."

“···”

At this time, the students looked at Zhang Xiao with eyes filled with admiration.

Zhang Xiao asked: "Who among you wants to be a star? Raise your hand and let me see?"

Only two or three boys raised their hands.

Zhang Xiao asked again: "Who wants to be an actor? Raise your hand?"

Hooray!

Most of them raised their hands.

Zhang Xiao looked at the girl in the sweatshirt who didn't raise her hand and asked: "What do you want to do?"

The girl said: "I want to do business."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "You have taken acting as your hobby, right?"

"Yes!" The girl nodded.

Zhang Xiaodao: "This is also a very good choice. There are many actors in the industry who had no chance when they were young, so they went into business. After achieving success, they returned to the entertainment industry and became actors."
