283. Chapter 283 Scene 283 Unparalleled Lines

"Yeah." Sun Li looked at Li Xiaole expectantly, listening to Li Xiaole's guidance very attentively, and Leslie Cheung was also listening curiously.

"First of all, your biggest problem is that your muscles are not loose enough, which affects the expression of your inner drama and emotions." Li Xiaole reached out and pinched her smooth face.

"Director... I don't understand. What does it have to do with my body's muscle tension?" Sun Li looked confused and felt that Li Xiaole's words were too metaphysical.

"Try it yourself. How does physical tension affect your heart." After Li Xiaole finished speaking, he lifted a camera for editing his own film from the corner of the room. It was quite heavy, about pounds, and handed it to Sun Li: "Please take it~"

Seeing Sun Li holding the camera hard, Zhang Guorong smiled. Hasn't he seen this method that director Wang's Wei likes to train actors? This young director seems to know a lot.

"While you are still carrying the camera, you can try to do an arithmetic problem quickly, 17 by 9!" Li Xiaole ordered her, and Sun Li was stunned and could only keep the camera balance on her shoulders. There was no room for her to calculate arithmetic using her brain: "Wait...I..." She calculated in a hurry, but her mind just couldn't turn it around.

"No, then you can report the name of the station you took from your house to the Central Academy of Drama. You can't do that either? Then try thinking about your lines?"

Sun Li followed Li Xiaole's question and felt that her mind could not react at all. She instinctively put down the camera, and then she recovered her IQ and answered the first question: "17 by 9, equals 153~"

"Yes." Li Xiaole pointed to the camera on the ground with a smile: "In order to answer my question, you have to put down the heavy camera and relax your muscles before you can recall it."

"I understand a little..." Sun Li, who had not received professional basic training, finally got to know her, but she still looked at Li Xiaole in confusion and asked: "But Director Li, I didn't carry such a heavy camera just now, how could it affect my heart?"

Zhang Guorong, who had been listening to their conversation, suddenly walked over and looked at Sun Li kindly and said:

"Not lifting the camera does not mean that your muscles are not tense. Some tension occurs in subtle places. In fact, when I was young, I didn't know that I had this problem. Later, when I was not filming for the Wang family, he found that when I was acting in a more conflicting scene, the corner of my mouth was easy to pursed and pursed... This was a problem left by me when I was a singer in my early years." Zhang Guorong pointed to his mouth.

"Later, I did a lot of training to get rid of this problem. When I was acting in this kind of drama, I felt that my face became much lighter, my face became very vivid, and my loose expressions were easier to express the inner activities of the character clearly." Zhang Guorong said, looking at Li Xiaole:

"Director Li, do you think so?" Zhang Guorong wanted to test whether director Li Xiaole's skills are just a false reputation.

"Brother is right." Li Xiaole also laughed. He learned this trick from Wang Jiawei, so Zhang Guorong naturally could understand it. What he wanted was to attract Zhang Guorong's attention, because the following words were the real focus.

"But, Sun Li~ I want you to understand that although relaxation will naturally reveal inner feelings, it does not mean that you can perform wonderful performances. Relaxation is not enough. The real performance lies in the concentration after relaxation."

"Concentrate after relaxing?" This is the first time Zhang Guorong has heard this statement. Hong Kong actors have not received professional training. They rely on their own exploration and give some directors like Wang Jiawei. They rely on their talents and efforts, but they are very vague about the concept of real performance. After relaxing... concentration? Zhang Guorong fully understands the meaning.

"Total relaxation is just the first step. The purpose of relaxation is to withdraw all the attention and brain activities of the whole body, concentrate all the emotional energy on this point, and erupt. Relaxation is static, and specializes in movement. It is solidified with static and protruding the rushing movement, just like the magma will be a quiet period of energy accumulation before a volcano erupts, so that the inner emotions can be permeated."

Although Li Xiaole's face was facing Sun Li when she said this, she glanced at Zhang Guorong from the corner of her eyes as if nothing had happened. This was what they said to them together.

"For example, Liang Chaowen, he put all his attention on his eyes, so when his eyes are deepest and charming, he is a very silent character, while Mr. Ge is all his concentration on his lines. His line skills can be said to be unparalleled. Why is every line he says is very slow? His tone is not intense, but his emotions are extremely full, because of the unusual concentration in his heart." Li Xiaole looked at Ge You who seemed to be dazed, and his tone increased:

"Uncle Ge puts all the boiling emotions in his heart on the lines, and every word has emotions..."

There are many top Chinese actors who can do the process from relaxation to specialization. Everyone uses this method to form their own unique characteristics based on their own conditions. Jiang Wen's temperament, Liang Chaowen's eyes, Stephen Chow's expression and limbs are all extremely exquisite, but in terms of lines alone, Ge You is indeed far superior to others.

Even if he is recognized as the best line in the circle, Chen Daoming and Wang Zhiwen, he will be at least one level behind him.

"Oh~ Director Li, stop chilling me... I'm not as good as you said..." Ge You touched his bald head with a little embarrassedly, as if he had made a mistake and said modestly. He was most afraid of being praised in person, which was even more uncomfortable than slapping him twice.

Looking at Ge You's shy appearance now, Zhang Guorong did recall what Yuan Shiqing, played by Ge You, looked at him and said:

"These feathers were collected from the tails of the living pheasants. It's really rare."

A simple sentence made him feel creepy now. Ge You was talking about Lingzi at that time, but he thought in his heart that it was indeed human eyes. A line that made people see bloody and terrifying scenes, and a sentence that made people live in their minds. This kind of line performance has reached a state of transformation.

Everyone knows how good Ge You's lines are, and why they are so good. Li Xiaole said it in one sentence today, with the purpose of letting Zhang Guorong and Sun Li understand some things at a higher level of performance.

Both of them are actors with excellent expressions and body shapes, but their voices are naturally hoarse, and they have not received professional training, and their lines are not very good, so their best works are dubbing.

If they can have half of Ge You's line skills, they may have the chance to play more international roles in the future.

Seeing Sun Li looking at her look of wanting to continue asking but feeling embarrassed, Li Xiaole smiled: "You want to ask Mr. Ge how he can relax and focus on his emotions, right?"

"Well... I can't do it even if I understand it. Director Li, you have to tell me a way to practice." Sun Li said honestly with his head down.

"Come on, come with me to see something." Li Xiaole said to Sun Li, and Zhang Guorong and Ge You also followed.

Under the curious gaze of Sun Li and Zhang Guorong, Li Xiaole took them to Ge You to the soft sofa chair, squatted down, and pointed at the sofa with his fingers.

"Did you see the indentation on the sofa?"

Sun Li and Zhang Guorong looked along the place where Li Xiaole's fingers. They were confused at first, but immediately opened their mouths slightly. They were surprised to find that there were complete body indentations on the sofa chair...

What does this mean? These actors work hard on their bodies every day. They all know that if an ordinary person is lying on the sofa, due to heavy weight, they usually leave indentations on the buttocks and heads, while Ge You's thin figure leaves indentations on the sofa. This means that when he is lying on the sofa, his body is always in a relaxing state like a cat.

It is incredible to be able to adjust your body to this level...

"Uncle Ge usually sits on the sofa, so he relaxes his body and mind, condenses his spirit, and concentrates his emotions in the role. This is the case every day, so when he plays a role, he will immediately burst out with lines in good mood. When other actors are not on the show, they can easily reduce their concentration. Sun Li, you can try to practice in this way. Of course, you must be mentally prepared to make people say you are a big shot." Li Xiaole said with a smile.

Sun Li nodded repeatedly, which surprised Zhang Guorong. To be honest, he didn't think Ge You was better than himself at first, but now it seems that Ge You is not only better than himself in his acting skills, but even much better.

At this time, Zhang Guorong and Sun Li thought of Ge You closing their eyes and resting, and felt completely different in their hearts, and they began to admire Ge You in their hearts.

But they did not find out that the person who was really surprised at the scene was Ge You himself. At this moment, the bald actor's heart was no less shocked than Zhang Guorong and Sun Li. The reason why he was surprised was Li Xiaole's understanding of him.

You know, everyone in the outside world praises his good acting skills, but few people say how good his acting skills are. Even directors of Feng Xiaogang can only say that they have a very accurate grasp of the emotional atmosphere. They have never said that his acting is good like Li Xiaole today. The real reason for his concentration and concise lines is to focus on the concise lines.

Few people know that he, the big actor, suffers from congenital heart valve defects, and when he is excited, he will be at risk of illness. When filming "Kara is a Dog", he fainted and was sent to the hospital. His body has always been weak. Therefore, except for filming, he likes to rest. He relaxes his whole body during rest and is forced to focus on emotional cultivation. Then condenses the emotional into his unique line rhythm, forming his unique performance style. Everyone knows that his slow-paced drama is particularly good, but it is not clear that it is because of his congenital defect that he has trained this unique skill.
