Principal Hao applauded gently. He was very satisfied with Su Ze's sharing. There was no falsehood, it was all based on experience, and it provided guidance and help for newcomers. It was very good.
Lin Hongtong was in a daze, remembering the scene when he first entered school three years ago, and couldn't help but lament how time flies.
Chen Gang is very pleased that Su Ze is the most talented and hard-working student in all these years. In just three years, he has established a firm foothold and completed the huge transformation from a newcomer to a capable actor.
Su Ze bowed, returned to the podium, and said with a smile: "That's it for sharing. Theory is always theory, and it must be realized through everyone's efforts. Now is the time for questions."
"If you have any questions, you can ask them. Let me declare in advance that you will let me go in your private life!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and many hands were raised in an instant. Su Ze randomly selected a school girl, who asked curiously: "I heard that the junior performance class calls you Boss Su. Is it okay for us to call you Boss Su too?"
Su Ze had no choice but to nod.
"I want to know how you usually improve your acting skills?" The school girl said with a serious face: "Do you have any special skills?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent, and hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at Su Ze expectantly.
"Shit!" Zhang Yu in the corner looked depressed after hearing this, and muttered: "We slept together for more than three years and didn't notice it. You are thinking too much."
"Sleeping in the same room." Ding Feng corrected.
Having said that, I am still looking forward to Su Ze's answer. Not only the students, but many teachers here are also looking forward to it. How did this kid practice his acting skills?
"This question." Su Ze pondered for a moment and said sincerely: "I think it's still a matter of detail."
“Showing without physical objects helps me a lot!”
"Because there are no real objects, it is a great exercise for the actor's sense of belief. I think this is the basis of everything. If you don't even trust the role you play, how can you talk about performing?"
"If you want to act like something without real objects, you must pay attention to observing life. This is a habit. In jargon, it means..."
"Listen more, see more, feel more."
Su Ze said these words willingly. After all, the first training item in the system is without physical objects. Without long-term efforts, there would be no control over the details today.
"But I always work very hard!" Suddenly a boy answered and said loudly: "The acting is so fake!"
No one laughed. This question was also the most difficult problem for many students. All eyes were fixed on Su Ze, looking forward to his answer.
"Okay, since everyone agrees on the importance of non-physical performances, let's discuss how to perform realistic performances."
Su Ze walked off the podium, came to the stage with a microphone, and said seriously: "I think many of the students here don't pay enough attention to non-physical performances!"
"Let's not mention the sense of belief. The biggest benefit of non-physical training is to improve the imagination of our actors, just like wearing clothes, which gradually increases the audience's sense of involvement in the role."
"For example, the topic is to fry a dish, the simplest egg fried rice."
"The steps I can think of are: wash the tomatoes, wash the green onions, cut the tomatoes into suitable small pieces and set aside, and cut the onions into chopped green onions for later use."
"Turn on the stove and adjust the heat to a suitable level, take out two eggs, knock them into a bowl, and use chopsticks to stir the eggs until even."
"Open the lid of the oil bottle and pour in an appropriate amount of oil. When the oil is hot, pour it into the eggs in the bowl. Scramble the eggs with a shovel and take them out when they are cooked."
"After the eggs are cooked, take them out of the bowl and set aside. Open the oil bottle and pour in an appropriate amount of oil. When the oil is hot, add the chopped green onions."
"Pour the prepared overnight rice into the oil pan, stir-fry with a spatula, add the fried eggs and stir-fry together."
"Turn off the stove switch, extinguish the fire, and finally put the fried eggs and fried rice into the rice bowl."
After Su Ze finished speaking, he simply started to perform in front of the public. All he could see was a set of movements that flowed smoothly, especially all the small details. For example, turning sideways to look at the size of the flames... cracking eggs and scraping the inside of the eggshell with your fingers... the egg-beating flower was full of rhythm.
Especially when the oil is hot and the pan is put in, the body leans back slightly and even the eyes instinctively close.
"Beautiful!" Principal Hao couldn't help but secretly exclaim. As a veteran of the arts, a simple performance showed how well this kid controls details!
The most rare thing is the body's instinctive reaction. This is a state that can only be achieved after countless simulation trainings. Just like a good boxer, his body has long formed the habit of avoiding, otherwise he would have been knocked out long ago.
"Awesome!"
"My dear, this is called a performance without real objects!"
"Impressed!"
"Boss Su is amazing!"
"Hey, when can I reach this level?"
"There is hope for the next life!"
The atmosphere at the venue was at its peak. After all, it was a Chinese opera, and there were most freshmen present. The lack of physical performance was no less tormenting them.
Su Ze waited for the venue to be quiet and continued: "Why do we need to perform without physical objects? Can't we perform with objects?"
“Performance feeling!”
"Imagination!"
"Just now it was just the simplest level. After you become proficient, you have to imagine the causes and consequences of this meal. Why eat egg fried rice?"
"How do you feel during the frying process? Are there any emotions you want to express? What do you think about when you eat?"
"Or to extend it a bit, what do you think about when you go to the supermarket to buy groceries? What do you think about on the way home? What do you think about when you wash the vegetables? What do you think about when you wash the dishes?"
"If all the logic can be clarified, this is the complete psychological change process of the character."
"Okay!" Principal Hao took the lead in applauding, and then the applause was like thunder.
Experts will know if they are successful as soon as they take action. Just listening to this analysis, you will know that your acting skills are not bad. As long as you can think of it, you will have a chance to do it. Even if it is not possible for the time being, you can still achieve the goal through hard training.
I'm afraid you can't even think of it!
"Details!" Lin Hongtong looked at the confident and calm Su Ze. With his acting skills at this level, the so-called experience school or method school are bullshit.
Whether from the outside to the inside or from the inside to the outside, isn't what an actor pursues throughout his life a sense of substitution?
As long as the audience can take on the role and experience the joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows of humanity, does it matter what the faction is?
Isn’t there only one ultimate goal for any means?
reality!
I remember what a senior once said: Don’t take your performance too seriously!
Whether you do well or not depends on whether you believe in the state you set for yourself.
A good actor can let the audience know immediately how thirsty he is by just drinking water.
Because he believes he is in that state!
"This is the real charm of performance without physical objects." Su Ze said confidently: "It is also a basic skill worth training every day for an actor's life."
"It's like a buff for playing a game. All the practice efforts are to get closer to the desired performance state step by step."
"Everyone talks about acting skills?"
"In my opinion it's just a technology!"
"It is the step for us actors to get into the hearts of the characters. No matter what method, as long as we can integrate into the characters and understand their true state, that is the goal."
