"We must not relax in the college entrance examination. Every year there are examples of people who pass majors but miss out on the drama because they don't have enough marks!"
Liu Tianyi said seriously: "Let's do this. I'll study acting three days a week. What do you think?"
"Four days a week, two days on the weekend are enough time." Su Ze expressed his thoughts and said with a smile: "You can only study with Teacher Tianyi for four or five months, and you don't have enough time."
"You kid!" Liu Tianyi was happy and gratified. He was definitely lucky to have met Su Ze after being a teacher for so many years.
"I have good news for you. Not only you, Hu Lei will also continue to train. Liu Tianyi teased: "You two can still get along day and night."
Su Ze's face darkened, what did this mean?
Needless to say, Song Ping and Jiang Jie failed in the drama. Of course, given their conditions, they will definitely be able to go to college, but they will have no chance of being classmates in the future.
That funny Zhao Yunfei wants to continue learning, but unfortunately his IQ doesn't allow it. I heard that he is stared at by the orderlies every day and memorizes by rote?
Just put a gun to your head!
As for Hu Lei, she is quite normal. She is the only one who really likes acting. Her academic performance in liberal arts is not bad. She should be fine if she works hard.
"Han Fei can't come. After all, I can't teach vocal music here." Liu Tianyi said with a smile: "You have been in the Chinese Opera for four years in college. If you don't look up, you will see each other when you look down. Remember to take care of each other."
Su Ze nodded. Except for Han Fei, who was a bit arrogant, everything else was fine. Besides, he was admitted to the Opera Department, so there might be opportunities for cooperation in the university.
"Then I'll arrange it as you said, two days on weekdays and more shows on weekends." Liu Tianyi did not come up with a new class schedule, but said casually: "There is too much for you to teach me."
"From today onwards, in accordance with the requirements of the Chinese Opera Standards, you are no longer an art candidate. Being first in your major is both an honor and a pressure, do you understand?"
Su Ze straightened his back. Although he has a golden finger, professional teaching must be taken seriously. Otherwise, what is the point of working so hard to pass the drama test?
The system can tap more potential and provide more time to hone acting skills. The only drawback is the lack of theoretical accumulation and experience.
I don’t want to be a wild guy like Bao Qiang!
Wouldn’t it be nice to stand on the shoulders of giants?
The following days returned to calm, and the noise was only temporary. After all, the college entrance examination was coming soon, and no one had time to stare at others all day long.
Su Ze works step by step every day, working hard to improve his liberal arts scores and continue performing four days a week. Of course, systematic training before going to bed every day is essential.
The only difference is that after passing the art exam, you feel relaxed and don’t need to be too stressed. Every day is very fulfilling.
"Congratulations to the host for passing the surprise training"
"Do you want to start a new project?"
Su Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and had to say that micro-expressions are far more difficult than no physical expressions. There are 639 muscles in the human body, including three categories: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscles are mainly involved in exercise and are regulated by the human body's consciousness.
Many muscles, especially small muscle groups, are not controlled by consciousness at all and rely entirely on external stimulation to produce instinctive reactions. This is the biggest difficulty in training micro-expressions.
There are more than 7,000 micro-expressions!
Not to mention anything else, there are more than a dozen types of surprise: surprise, curiosity, surprise, surprise, astonishment, astonishment...
Each has different performance methods.
It has taken two full months since I started training to pass one item, which shows how difficult it is.
The calendar is already in mid-April, and there are still two months left before the college entrance examination. The third mock test is 450 points. As long as you perform normally and properly.
"Today I will teach you actors relaxation exercises." In the weekend studio, Liu Tianyi looked at Su Ze and Hu Lei and introduced: "It is also one of the compulsory courses in Chinese opera performance classes, just like morning exercises."
"Is it puppet training?" Hu Lei replied: "I heard many people say it."
"That's called Sri Lankan relaxation method." Liu Tianyi laughed and scolded: "Puppet training is just one step."
"The so-called relaxation method is a bit like yoga or meditation. There are many methods. What I will teach you today is the one I often use, the Benatetti relaxation method."
"Come, lie down on the ground, close your eyes, and follow my lead."
"Adjust your breathing, start with your forehead bones and scalp, frown and then relax."
"The eyes turn downward slightly, the gums clenched, and then drooped slightly, with a distance of three to four centimeters between the top and bottom."
"The tongue even then naturally sits in the middle of the mouth."
"Hit your chin to your chest, stretch the back of your neck as far as possible, and roll your head back."
"Expand outward, open your shoulders as much as possible, and, yes, feel your shoulder blades spread out and blend into the ground."
"Strengthen your hands and arms, making them as straight and hard as iron rods!"
"Take three deep breaths, then slowly relax, tighten your buttocks, and then relax..."
"The same goes for your legs. Tighten them first with a deep breath, yes, and then slowly relax..."
Liu Tianyi guided and checked the movements of the two. After all, Hu Lei was proficient in dancing and mastered the key points quickly. Su Ze was relatively slow, but he got the hang of it after several attempts.
"Imagine your whole body as a bridge, yes, hold it!"
"Breathe...breathe...breathe...breathe..."
“Take your time and relax!”
"Okay, I feel like my whole body is completely integrated into the earth!"
"Yes, concentrate your mind, feel the energy entering your body with every breath, and feel the changes in the muscles..."
"It's a state of relaxation and alertness."
"Energy enters your body and gathers in the Dantian, just like a stream gathering little by little..."
Perhaps it was due to the instinctive combination of breathing that Su Ze quickly became proficient at it from the beginning. The so-called lack of energy is nonsense, and it is indeed very comfortable to relax the muscles.
Twenty minutes later, Liu Tianyi ended the training and explained: "The jargon of this training is called life perception."
"Excellent performance requires actors to show a complete creative state necessary for perceiving life. It can be summed up in three words."
"Really loose and alive!"
Liu Tianyi sat down, faced Su Ze and Hu Lei and said with a smile: "Doesn't it sound mysterious?"
"In fact, it is a comprehensive life perception situation. Sometimes it is a natural result, and sometimes it is produced by concentrating on the psychological and life needs of a certain character."
"It's really real, sincere and truly devoted, including really listening, seeing, feeling, believing, feeling, and communicating."
"Relaxation is a bit difficult to understand. It can barely be regarded as a certain performance state. Excellent actors are relaxed every time they perform. They are collectively relaxed, their faces are relaxed, neither stiff nor rigid, and their bodies and imagination are flexible."
"As for living, it is some kind of inexplicable state. I understand it as the soul of the character, how the actor lives on the stage naturally and vividly through his acting skills."
Su Ze realized that this is the benefit of systematic learning. The system is very powerful, but due to lack of theoretical experience, he can only explore a little bit by himself every time.
Now with Liu Tianyi, and with the four years of accumulation in China Drama in the future, integrating theory with practice is the way to go.
