Chapter 12 Going to school
It is best for He Xin to find a part-time job at school, and he can study and earn money at the same time. Originally, he was holding a tentative mentality and cheekily mentioned it, but he didn't expect Hao Rong to really agree, which was quite unexpected.
When he came out of Hao Rong's office, it was still early, and he wandered around the school to familiarize himself with the terrain. At noon, I found a small restaurant in Nanluoguxiang and grilled a bowl of noodles.
It is said that a bowl of pork rib noodles actually costs 12 yuan, which is more than twice as expensive as the urban-rural junction. The most annoying thing is that the level is not enough, the ribs are not old, and the noodles are sticky.
In the afternoon, He Xin came to the classroom on the first floor of the small building ten minutes early. There were already more than a dozen people sitting inside, after all, everyone will be classmates in the future, everyone will chat together in twos and threes, and some people will take the initiative to talk to him, and people will come in from time to time at the door.
He Xin looked around, most of them were in their early twenties, and a few looked relatively immature, and some of them were estimated to be in their early thirties.
From the conversation of the group, he could tell that the personnel were quite mixed. Some are hobbies, some are preparing for the art exam, some are returning to the art exam, and some claim to be actors to recharge.
He's probably in the last category.
At half past one, the teacher came in on time, and it was still the middle-aged woman who reported in the morning.
The teacher's surname is Wang, and he is responsible for teaching vocal music and leading the class, so he can be regarded as a class teacher.
First of all, let everyone take turns to walk to the podium and introduce themselves.
They are all learning to act, there is no twisting and pinching, most of them introduce themselves very emotionally, and even list their own acting experience, such as playing soy sauce in a certain movie or TV series.
When it was He Xin's turn, he walked up to the podium and said directly: "My name is He Xin, I am twenty this year, and I am from the Northeast, please take care of me." ”
Then I bowed and it was done, very concise.
But I can't keep up with the nonsense of others, less than thirty people, and it took nearly an hour to introduce myself.
After that, the teacher began to nag about the school's overview, general rules, curriculum and so on.
Students in the Department of Acting are divided into graduate classes, undergraduate classes, junior college classes, and advanced classes.
The graduate class is too cold to leave it at that. The situation of the other three classes is basically that the undergraduate class takes four years to study, which is compressed to two years for the junior college class, and simplified to one year for the advanced class.
While He Xin listened, he couldn't help but draw a complete chain of contempt in his mind: the graduate class despised everything, the undergraduate class despised the junior college class and the advanced class, and the junior college class despised the advanced class.
It is clear that the refresher course is at the bottom of the food chain.
In terms of curriculum, the refresher course is purely performance teaching, omitting cultural classes such as English and Ma Zhe. The curriculum is divided into vocal music lessons, line lessons, body lessons and acting lessons.
At the same time, each homework is studied in stages, with four stages for vocal music and body, five stages for lines, and seven stages for performance.
The class time is synchronized with the junior college class and the acting class, and the class is held from Monday to Friday, with weekends off for a year, and there is a winter vacation of half in between.
Finally, the teacher sent the class schedule, He Xin glanced at it, and the official class will start tomorrow. Vocal music classes in the morning for professional vocal training, and performance classes in the afternoon for basic theories of performance.
The teacher of the basic theory of performance is our beloved teacher Hao Rong.
......
He Xin left the class for a long time, and he was a little nervous about going to school again.
There is a dedicated vocal room for the morning vocal lessons. He Xin originally thought that vocal music was similar to the music class in elementary school, and the so-called professional vocal training was probably Dolemi Faso or something.
The result is not the same thing at all, what dantian luck, the rise of the airflow, the whole thing is like practicing martial arts cheats, and the sound cannot be directly issued from the throat, but from the chest cavity and so on.
This is going to kill him, and almost every link will go wrong, even if the teacher corrects it again and again, and he is wrong if he is not careful.
Many people in the refresher class have a foundation in vocal music, even if they don't have a foundation, and they all learn well under the guidance of the teacher.
He is the only one, that teacher Wang has been teaching Chinese opera for almost 20 years, and it is estimated that he has never encountered such a stupid person, no matter how he teaches, he can't teach it, and he simply stares at him alone in the second half of the class.
For a whole morning, He Xin was tossed to death.
In the afternoon, Hao Rong talked about the definition and difference between expressionism, experience and methodology, as well as the five forces and six senses, observation, imagination, sense of proportion, and sense of humor...... Something like that.
Although He Xin seemed to be taking notes with a serious face, he was actually listening to the clouds and mountains and fog covers, and it felt so complicated.
When he played the role of Xiaogui, he integrated the life experience of his life and that of the original owner into the role.
But there are many settings in the script that he has not experienced, and he will try his best to figure out the emotions of this character, and treat this setting as if it were real, which is obviously the way of the experiential school.
However, when he later studied "Six Questions on Acting", he learned to substitute emotions. For example, if a woman dies of her husband, she has no experience in dying her husband, so she replaces her emotions with the emotions of her grandfather when she died in her previous life, which is actually methodistic.
As for the expressionists, he couldn't understand it yet, it felt too fake.
Performance, in his personal experience and preconceived thinking, should be really seeing, really listening, and really feeling. If you have life experience, or can figure it out, then try to fit into the role as much as possible, and treat yourself as a character in the play.
If that doesn't work, look for emotional alternatives.
There is no essential difference between the two, except that the former is more in-depth and pure, and the latter is more flexible and practical.
Very simple things don't seem to be as complicated as Hao Rong said.
After class, Hao Rong specially called him out and pulled him to a corner where no one was around.
"How do you feel, do you understand?"
"It's okay, anyway, I made notes, and I'm thinking about it myself, if I really don't understand, I'll ask you again." He Xindao.
"Well, good. ”
Hao Rong nodded, then looked a little embarrassed, and stopped talking: "I asked you for what you asked me yesterday, this ......"
He Xin's heart tightened, "No?"
"No, there is, but there is a shortage of small workers in the cafeteria, but I think it's too hard. ”
"As long as there is work to do, I am not afraid of hard work!" He Xin hurriedly said.
"It's ......"
Hao Rong introduced, the hard work he said, the main thing is to go to work early, go to work at five o'clock in the morning, help go grocery shopping, and then eat three meals in the morning, noon and evening, eat at the window, and have to wash the dishes and clean up after the end.
The monthly salary is 800, but since I work in the canteen, this meal is covered.
This is very hard work in the eyes of others, and it is simply undesirable for He Xin. He's worked on a construction site, so that's a bit of a job. It's nothing more than waking up two hours early and going to bed early at night.
Whether he has food or shelter, the salary of 800 yuan is enough for his living expenses for a month, and he expressed his gratitude to Hao Rong again and again.
Seeing He Xin's happy appearance and sincere thanks, Hao Rong was a little surprised, but he didn't expect this kid to be quite able to endure hardships. This also proves from the side that this child is indeed not easy.
I originally felt very embarrassed and difficult to talk about, but at this time, Hao Rong had a sense of accomplishment of helping someone and doing a good deed.
In addition to being happy, he personally took He Xin to the canteen to report to the person in charge.
There happened to be a small worker in the canteen who resigned and quit his job, and without saying a word, let him officially take up his post tomorrow.
