699. Chapter 699 Scene 699 A Rare Talent
Fred watched Li Xiaole explain "inner visualization" to a group of students in the performance department from afar, and couldn't help but frown. What exactly did he want to do? This kind of evil saying of performance has long been denied by the academic community. What is the purpose of Li Xiaole letting these children learn "inner visualization"? He doesn't understand...
What made him even more confused was that Li Xiaole secretly asked the photographer to film all this next to him. Does he want to take the behind-the-scenes footage?
"This is a evil saying~!" Emma, not far away, finally couldn't help but open her eyes and shouted loudly to Li Xiaole, interrupting the silent practice.
The children also widened their eyes. They also felt that Li Xiaole's method was a bit evil. There was no such thing as acting skills. It was like talking about a psychology tutorial...
"Evil Saying?" Li Xiaole turned his head and looked at Emma curiously and asked, "Who told you that your inner vision is evil Saying?"
"All my performance teachers~" Emma said with confidence. Recently, she has always felt that Li Xiaole is despising her. This time she finally had the opportunity to prove herself, and raised her voice and said:
"How can one drive emotions to perform by relying on imaginary pictures? This is completely idealism, which correctly improves the performance method, because to experience life~! Only by experiencing the life of real characters can one know how to act~!"
"Fuck it~!" Li Xiaole cursed and looked at her angrily: "If I ask you to play a rapist~ do you have to practice me twice every night to act well~?"
A group of Indian boys and girls burst into laughter when they heard this. Director Li is too good at giving examples.
"What did you say... how could you say this to a lady~!" Emma listened to her little face flushed and said unconvincedly: "How could it be impossible? I might be able to really know how to practice **** you!? I am so professional~!"
"Then should I let you play a murderer?" Li Xiaole asked immediately. Emma, who had always been sharp-tongued, was speechless on the spot... Yes~ If she was asked to play a murderer, he would not be able to really kill someone to practice the protagonist's mentality...
Seeing that a group of students were all curious and looking at him with great anticipation, Li Xiaole then put on a director's airs and explained unhappily:
"You half-baked actors usually have a huge misunderstanding, that is, when you feel that you can't play any role, you will experience the life of the role, record all the real movements, and then perform them on the screen, and then think that your performance is "real"..."
"Is this... not right?" Amir Sha asked in surprise.
"Of course not right~" Li Xiaole cursed fiercely: "This is simply stupid! Why don't you think about it? Even if all actors experience the same life, or even different actors perform the same role, why are the performance levels still completely different?
So many Sherlock Holmes, which one of them is the same? Are all Sherlock Holmes the same in the original work?"
Li Xiaole's question was obviously not answered by everyone. They could only look at me and I looked confused. The teachers in the Performance Academy never taught them these questions... They never thought about it...
This cannot be blamed on the teachers who teach performance, because the greatest actors and directors are active on the screen, and only third-rate actors and directors will teach in school. Of course, they only teach third-rate, solidified, and even outdated performance methods.
What I learned in school is just the basics of performance. The best performance teachers have always been the real big directors and top actors in this world. All good actors have grown up in collaboration with world-class directors and actors.
Now just by questioning this, Li Xiaole's image in everyone's hearts has completely surpassed those professors in the performance department...
"The most fundamental reason why top actors and third-rate actors have different expressions is that third-rate actors experience the 'role' and do not necessarily express the 'role'. They are usually just uncharming and simply imitating, not the level of 'performance'. You are not creating characters, but rigid characters.
For top actors, the real purpose of experiencing character life is not to imitate those people, but to establish the "inner visuals" in their lives in their minds, and to develop "inner visuals" in their performances, and drive their performances through emotions.
In this way, they will never recreate the original character in their lives, but create a new character by themselves. Such a character is vivid, radiant, and unique~!"
Li Xiaole's deafening words made the young performers feel intoxicated. These words were like a strong morning light, which completely disappeared about the fog in their hearts about the performance.
So that's it, this is the real essence of the performance!? This is the key to their inability to move forward~!
But there are still people who look suspicious, such as the most experienced Amir Sha and Emma. They are not as easy to fool like other children. Although what Li Xiaole said makes sense, the truth is just a truth after all, and it is difficult to say whether it can actually work.
"What should I do? How to use 'inner vision' when I wake up? This kind of imagination is like a dream. As soon as I open my eyes, I can't maintain it. Do you want us to dream awake?" Amir Sha was so mean to be fooled by Li Xiaole just now, now he is trying hard to find his face, trying to find the loopholes in the paradox of Li Xiaole.
"Generally speaking, this requires constant practice to do it." Li Xiaole was confronted by the child, but was not angry at all. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Sula Shama:
"Even the greatest actors, in order to establish this unbreakable "inner vision" in their hearts, it will take several weeks or even months. For example, our best Chinese actor, Ge Youkao, who went to the Central Academy of Drama, and his performance in the "Rain Man", both in pigpens and mentally ill people, spent several months to establish this "inner vision"... but... there is an exception to this kind of person."
Li Xiaole suddenly stopped when she said this, and saw that the light was shining in everyone else's eyes, and then slowly said:
"In fact, this kind of 'inner vision' is a pure talent for some people, just like many musicians have 'absolute sound sense'. Many people are born with 'natural vision'.
When this kind of actor is very young, he will show a unique style that others cannot imitate. No matter what different roles he plays, the "natural visual image" in his mind will make him use his imagination to show a character that is unified in his own inner style.
Only Nicholas Cage, Johnny Depp, Zhou Xingxing and others are known...
And more people with this talent have no chance to develop this talent in their entire lives, so they are buried in the vast crowd...
It's like hundreds of thousands of people in the world who have an "absolute sound sense", 99% of them don't know that they have the ability and will not engage in music activities. They don't know that they have the potential to become Beethoven, Mozart, and such music masters..."
As soon as Li Xiaole said this, the young people who were learning to perform in front of him were suddenly excited, and everyone was excited. They were like people who bought lottery tickets. Suddenly someone told them that they might win the 5 million prize, and the drawers were all in front of him! If they had this talent, then in the future, they would be the future Nicholas Cage and Johnny Depp~!
Everyone raised their hands and shouted: "How to test~! Li~!" "Let's see if I have this 'natural visual image'." "I usually like to fantasize~~ I might have this talent~! Li quickly tell us how to trigger this thing~~!"
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, even Emma, who was still angry just now, looked at him with great anticipation. Only then did Li Xiaole make a gesture with satisfaction, signaling everyone to calm down, like a cult leader preaching the scriptures and explain in a light voice:
"Don't worry, I'll tell you the key points. Let's try again. This "inner vision" bursts out from our imagination and memory, and is invisibly reappears outside of us for us to see. However, for these illusion objects from the heart, we do not use external eyes, but use internal eyes to see.
The same is true for hearing. We do not use our ears, but our inner hearing. We feel that the source of these sounds is not in our hearts, but outside our bodies.
For example, if you play the role of "Pie", then you should use the tiger in your imagination and memory to create a tiger's vision and make it move.
Emma, do you remember what the Bengal tiger described in the script? You are sitting across from me now sober, can you see me as that tiger? Imagine my upcoming mode of action? Can you build this Bengal tiger with your imagination?"
Emma closed her eyes, thought about it for a while, then opened her eyes helplessly and said, "It's too difficult to create a visual image for such a complex creature instantly~"
