"Stop dreaming." Jiang Jie stopped Hu Lei and said: "I heard that there are 38,000 art candidates this year, okay?"
"The Chinese Opera Performance Department can recruit up to 80 students!"
"Count how many to one!"
"It doesn't matter!" Hu Lei said angrily: "I don't understand where there are so many bastards."
"You can take the test for others, why can't you?" Jiang Jie said disdainfully: "Who doesn't want to be a big star?"
"What if it happens to us?" Hu Lei said worriedly: "I mean just in case!"
"Bah, bah, crow's mouth!" Jiang Jie interrupted: "Don't you understand if you don't have a chance?"
"Especially you, you must pass the opera test." Staring into the eyes of his best friend, he said seriously every word: "There is no way out!"
Seeing Hu Lei open her mouth, she said sternly: "Listen to me first!"
"My first choice is Chinese opera, and my second and third choices are all dance schools, do you understand?"
"In other words, I have a way out but you don't!"
"Me!" Hu Lei suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
"Song Ping is not stupid. She was prepared with both hands when she passed the opera test. Her second choice must be Beifu. Believe it or not?"
"Han Fei has given up acting and is preparing to take the Opera Department exam. That funny guy Zhao Yuncheng has connections in his family, so he will join the military industrial corps at most."
"As for Su Ze?"
Jiang Jie sighed: "Don't say you are performing normally, even if you are abnormal, do you think you can fail the exam?"
"It's just me that's unlucky!" Hu Lei felt even more aggrieved. Why did everyone have a way out?
"Hey, don't be stubborn, acting is not the only option." Jiang Jie touched her best friend's head and comforted her: "I know you like acting, isn't it possible to go to Nortel?"
"Me!" Hu Lei opened her mouth, and a figure flashed in her heart.
"He's not suitable for you!" As her best friend, Jiang Jierneng didn't know Hu Lei's little thoughts. She had to say that Su Ze was indeed excellent, impeccable in both appearance, temperament and family background, but...
People don’t like you!
What’s more, if you want to enter the entertainment industry in the future?
"Then I also want to try Nortel?" Hu Lei was very hesitant. Whether it was her childhood dream or Su Ze's acting, it was her first choice, but...
"That's right, we will all be in the capital from now on, so we can meet each other without raising our heads." Jiang Jie struck the point while the iron was hot: "Different schools have different resources, and we will be able to build bridges with each other in the future."
Hu Lei nodded, guessing that Su Ze would also apply for Nortel as his second choice. Many people do this, yes, he will!
"It starts on January 20th next year?" Su Ze looked at the latest admission brochure. This year's Central Theater Arts Examination will last for ten days. It will officially start on the 20th, and the admission list will be released on the 31st.
"Plan to enroll sixty people?" Su Ze frowned. The entire performance department only admitted sixty people in the end?
The pressure is huge in an instant, even if it is as high as Tsinghua University or Peking University, it costs at least hundreds or even thousands every year. Why are you here?
you are vicious!
In the professional class the next day, Liu Tianyi looked at everyone and said seriously: "Have you all read the latest admissions brochure?"
"I don't want to say much else. The standards of Chinese opera are getting higher and higher. Crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops is easy!"
"The art exam is still a month away. What everyone should prepare for has been determined. The rest is all up to your own efforts, understand?"
Seeing that everyone cheered up, he continued: "The most difficult part of the art test is the propositional performance, which is also the most important scoring criterion for the examiner. Today I will take you to understand the relationship between action and personality."
After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Su Ze who was listening attentively. He couldn't help it. Although this kid was already doing it well, others couldn't!
"Characters with different personalities will have completely different actions towards the same incident. For example, if the same lover cheats, different people will have completely different actions and mentality."
"Look at Shakespeare's Othello who suspected his lover of being unfaithful and took the extreme step of strangling Desdemona without saying a word."
"Jiao Da in Cao Yu's "The Wilderness" discovered that Jin Hua was having an affair, fell in love with Qiu Hu, but knelt down and begged."
"Arman in Xiao Dumas's La Traviata thought Margaret was cheating on him, so he threw money at her and humiliated her in public."
"In many dramas that reflect the contemporary materialistic era, a minor character discovers that his wife is having an affair with his boss, and in order to gain fame and fortune, he even takes steps to give up the relationship."
After speaking, he said to everyone: "An extra actor once asked me a question: What should you do if you are still confused about how to enter the acting industry and are at a loss?"
"I recommend them to go to Baidu Liu Qiyan's Actor's Dream Road. It really tells the story of an ignorant newcomer who went from being advertised to industry insiders who can accept film and television invitations, how to do it step by step with skills and methods, and finally from group acting to
The process of gradual and steady development from special contract to starring role."
Along with Liu Tianyi's explanation, Su Ze gained a deeper understanding of systematic training. The seemingly simple exercises actually contain a lot of insights.
There are currently three recognized schools of performance: experiential school, method school, and expression school.
The experiential school is the most powerful, pursuing actors to completely integrate into the characters and truly enter the inner world of the characters. If successful, every move will be a drama.
But the talent requirements for actors are too high. How many of them can completely forget themselves and experience the joys, sorrows and joys of another person?
What’s more serious is how to act!
For example, Heath Ledger stayed away from home for several months to play the Joker in Batman, facing the mirror every day and imitating the Joker's every move. What was the result?
The character commits suicide immediately after his great success!
He died at the age of twenty-eight!
Many experientialists have psychological problems, and every time they interpret a role, there are huge risks. In fact, Chinese opera has always advocated the experientialist, but how many of them have truly achieved this?
Because it was too difficult, the method school gradually developed. The principle is still the same, but actors are allowed to use various methods to replace roles.
If the character likes a man, the experiential school requires the actor to truly experience the feeling of liking a man and infinitely magnify the part of his heart that appreciates men.
The method is a little simpler. You can imagine your opponent as a woman and replace the character relationship with a normal relationship between lovers. As long as the details are realistic enough, you can basically achieve satisfactory results.
It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do, so a third school emerged, which is expressionism.
Su Ze feels that in this genre now, how many actors can be able to integrate the inner feelings of the characters right after they come in?
First, build the character's skeleton through research, and then continue to fill in the character's details through body, movement, expression, emotion, and lines, and get closer step by step.
Finally, the purpose of understanding the character's heart is achieved.
In Su Ze's view, the expressionist school is more practical and more operable. As for the superior experiential school?
There may be a chance in the future, but it’s better to take a shower now!
"From now on, you will complete the portrayal of five different characters in half an hour!"
"Yes, practice one by one and express them as richly and completely as possible in a short period of time!"
"Close your eyes and try to explore the imaginary body and character center, and find the speaking characteristics and typical movements!"
