When you are full and surprised, even the whites of the upper edge of the iris will be exposed. When relaxed, about 1/4 of the upper edge of the iris will be covered by the upper eyelids.
This is the instinctive reaction of living things to get more light. When the darkness has not yet adapted, if people want to see something clearly, they will naturally open their eyes wide instead of squinting hard like in a light environment.
.
The raising of eyebrows is a side effect, and it is also necessary to mobilize the frontalis muscle to open the eyes. If the levator palpebrae superioris muscle is used alone to lift the upper eyelids, it will not only be difficult but also not effective in opening the eyes to the maximum.
When you inhale quickly, only the lower lip will naturally open slightly downwards driven by the lower jaw. The skin on the surface of the lips will not become tight, let alone stretch to both sides.
The moment a person receives an unexpected stimulus, he cannot judge whether the stimulus source is good or bad. The biological evolutionary instinct is to inhale first to prepare energy. After the instant surprise judgment process, if the stimulus source is negative, he will run away or fight.
If the stimulus source is positive, the expression turns into surprise and continues to be a happy emotion...
Through continuous practice, looking at the micro-expression theory was like an enlightenment for Su Ze, and more details became clear to him.
I didn’t expect that a simple surprise could contain so much truth?
I also understand why the first training of the system is surprise. In fact, when we encounter stimuli in life, our first reaction is not good or bad. It is just that the duration of surprise is too short and is usually ignored.
But being ignored doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist!
As an actor, if you can truly convey surprise to the audience, it will be more natural and credible, because emotions are a continuous process of development. Is it comfortable to skip a section suddenly?
"So after being surprised, if you don't like, disagree, or accept something, such as a bad smell or unpleasant words, but non-aggressive and threatening stimuli will trigger disgust?"
“If the negative stimulus reaches a level that threatens people, whether it is their personal life or property, or even just undue disobedience and obstacles, then anger will be triggered.”
"But if the stimulation is too great and exceeds the limit of endurance, for example, if you can't fight, you can't win the scolding, or the decline is irreversible, etc., will people completely lose their resistance behavior?"
"All you can do is either run away or accept your fate. However, the harmful consequences have not happened yet, so the emotion at this time is fear."
"When the result becomes an established fact and there is no hope of recovery, then the fear will no longer persist and will be replaced by sadness?"
“In the end, sadness is followed by deep despair and even self-blame!”
The emotional chain is constantly taking shape in Su Ze's mind. After a long period of training without physical objects, his body has been developed. Many movement details have gradually become instinctive. As long as the emotion is reached, the performance can be completed in an instant.
"That's it!" There is inner understanding. Acting is also a skill. It must have a process of slowly changing quantitatively and qualitatively from the outside to the inside. This is why good actors have to experience life and experience joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. Otherwise, where will the emotional outburst come from?
"Has it reached this level?" Hearing Su Ze's question, Liu Tianyi said happily: "You are right. Actors may not necessarily have expressions when they have emotions, or how to internalize expressions."
"For example, if the expression of surprise lasts for too long, it will definitely delay the best time to respond. At worst, you will be laughed at, and at worst, you will be in danger or even lose your life."
“But you often see Stephen Chow’s movies using this kind of acting method, right?”
"It's just to tell the audience that this character is surprised, and it also plays a funny role."
"That is to say, no matter what the expression is, it must serve the character." Su Ze understood it and thought of a classic line from Master Xing: spit and spit and you'll get used to it!
Isn’t it a specific performance method of disgust?
"Can you understand what they are saying?" Hu Lei touched her best friend and muttered: "It feels so profound."
"Nonsense!" Jiang Jie curled her lips, her face calm and calm, but her heart was so panicked that I was also confused.
Liu Tianyi looked at Su Ze, feeling happy and helpless at the same time. As a teacher, he likes students with high talents, but you are a bit too over the top!
Art candidates actually started to study micro-expressions?
Still want to internalize different emotions?
Help!
In the days that followed, Su Ze was immersed in surprises every day, feeling the sense of accomplishment in integrating theory with practice. Looking back, the training without physical objects was simply a stroke of genius. Without a solid foundation, any micro-expressions would be nonsense.
Reallocate training time: Joint breathing has been completely mastered and has become a physical instinct anytime and anywhere. The time saved can continue to train without physical objects.
The difference is to add emotions and use various scenes to practice micro-expressions, such as meeting a lucky coin while eating dumplings...stepping on dog poop while walking...finding a hundred yuan in your pocket while washing clothes...
Life is full of surprises!
"Are you sure?" Liu Tianyi looked at Han Fei and said seriously: "The art exam is in one month."
"Well, it's decided." Han Fei hesitated at first, but then said firmly: "Give up the acting department and take the opera department!"
"Very good." Liu Tianyi smiled and said seriously: "A very wise choice."
"Your greatest strength is vocal music. People are self-aware, so why should they give up their advantages?"
"To be honest, the strongest department of the Central Academy of Drama is not the acting department, even if I graduated from it."
“Stage plays and operas are the core!”
Seeing Han Fei open his mouth, he interrupted: "I know what you are thinking, but the teacher can tell you something clearly."
"Art is not a burden!"
"All plays are the same. Whoever stands on the stage facing the audience is called an actor, do you understand?"
"Opera also requires performance skills, but the form of expression is different. Film and television actors express through body, and stage actors convey emotions through voice. In the end, they are all the same."
"The best way to move the audience is to move them!"
"Thank you!" Han Fei finally understood the teacher's good intentions and bowed deeply: "Finally, I would like to ask for your guidance."
"You're welcome, I'm the one getting paid." Liu Tianyi was very happy to see that Han Fei's prodigal son turned back in the end. This kid's conditions are very good. It would be a misfortune if he misses out on the role because of being caught off guard.
"Since you are not competitors, then communicate more with others." He continued: "Although we are not in the same department, we may all be alumni of China National Theater in the future. Many friends lead to many paths."
Han Fei left the office, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, instantly feeling much more relaxed.
"The teacher is right, it's just that the stage is different!"
"Although I can't beat you now, it still takes a long time. Let's go to the Central Theater to compete again!"
"Suze!"
Su Ze didn't know that he was being targeted by a hot-blooded middle schooler, and suddenly he felt that Han Fei, the pretender, was much more friendly?
Time is running like water, the end of the year is coming soon, and there is only one month left before next year's art exam. Liu Tianyi arranged for everyone to enter the final sprint, train according to the standard art exam process of China Drama every day, and even have various hell interviews with other teachers.
Su Ze also temporarily gave up on micro-expression training and used system time to practice every day. He became familiar with the recitation and propositional performances that he had been tested in the Chinese Opera, practiced three pieces of vocal music and dance, and even crammed in to be prepared for the oral exam.
"You said it would be great if we were together with Su Ze!"
"When the time comes, hold your thighs and fly together!"
