Chapter 170: An assistant director's self-cultivation
The first day of construction did not go well, and the estimated progress was only half completed.
At more than eight o'clock in the evening, when it got dark, You Xiaogang announced that he would get off work. Xu Fei led someone to seal the equipment and props and lock the door, but Cao Ying was still sitting in the back seat, holding the dog in his arms.
Poor gourd white tossed for a day, but it was not his turn to appear.
"Teacher Xu!"
Dispersed in twos and threes, and Ge You rode up from behind, "Send Xiaoying home?"
"Well, do you have something to do at night?"
"I'm fine. ”
"That's right, we'll talk about it later. ”
"Huh. ”
Just what Ge You wants.
So the three of them and one dog first went to the southern half of the alley at the entrance of the vegetable market, and Cao Ying waved his hand and flashed into the yard.
I didn't look for a restaurant or anything, it was nearby, and just about to sit down, Xu Fei suddenly looked around, "No, this place is unlucky, go over there." ”
The two of them went south again, and soon saw a green space, and there were many old people walking.
This piece used to be a Guandi temple in the Ming Dynasty, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was renovated and renovated, and a Wanshou West Palace Park was built, which was renamed Wanshou Park in 1995.
I found a bench casually, and the gourd was stuffy for a day, chasing butterflies on the grass.
"It's been a day of filming today, how do you feel?"
"Feel, Hi ......"
Ge You rubbed the back of his head, "You've seen it too, and you're a little panicked." ”
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's still not in place to understand the ideology, the theoretical study is not deep, the characters are flattened, and the soul is lacking. And Director You will tell us about the play...... Hey, it's not very nice to say behind the scenes, but I really didn't understand much. ”
"You just talk in one set now, why don't you go to the play?" Xu Fei said with a smile.
"This, this is the state of my life, it's not very good in the play, right?"
"Why is it bad?"
He asked rhetorically, "What do you think of acting? Don't go deep, in a word." ”
"In a word, uh, it's just that the characters are like each other, right?"
"Like whom?"
"Like characters, oh, I mean actors have to look like characters in a script. ”
"Theoretically, yes, but acting is a very complicated thing, of course, this is my personal understanding, let's talk. ”
Xu Fei organized the language and continued: "First of all, I think performance is very subjective, and the audience feels your performance, and this feeling is also subjective.
From the perspective of performance theory, there is no set of rules that are absolutely authoritative and apply everywhere. For example, the Stanley performance system, we study it, not because it is correct, but because we relatively agree with this theory.
There are others, like the Grotowski performance system, can you say that it is not correct? It is also correct, but it has not been transmitted to the country, and not many people know about it.
So above the baseline, there is no set set of standards for performance. Below the baseline, we can set some hard criteria.
For example, the lines should be pronounced clearly, with ups and downs, and the emotional transformation should be close to the plot and not be stiff and abrupt......
This is a passing grade, and only those who have reached it can barely be called an actor. ”
“......”
Ge You listened so engrossed that he didn't even notice that the mosquito flew to his arm to feast.
"So when you go beyond the baseline, how do you improve? It's a subjective thing, and no one is qualified to say it, so you just do what I say, and you're right.
So I also suggest that I think there are three things about acting: technique, emotion, and self. ”
Xu Fei sneered in his heart, Hmph! Do you think I still want to say that looking at mountains is mountains and looking at water is water?
"The first two are very popular classifications in the West now, expressionism, experience, and methodology, which are too troublesome to talk about, buy books and read them yourself, I won't be verbose.
So how to understand the last one?
There is a jargon in the storytelling, how much affection there is, how big the book is. Put it here, how much understanding you have, how much role you play.
When your life experience reaches a certain level, and you get another role, you will unconsciously disassemble it, reconstruct it, and turn it into something of your own.
What is a play? A play is a variety of forms in the world.
And this kind of actor often stands at a higher place to see, and has surpassed the character and story preset by the screenwriter. This kind of actor is also the most difficult to meet!"
"Hey, a little, a little deep. ”
Ge You was the same as Chao Wendao, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he slowed down for a long time, "I have little experience, you give it to the staff and staff officers, how should I act in vain?"
"Heh, I've been watching it for a day today, and I feel like you're basically wrong. ”
"No, right?"
Ge You wondered, "Isn't Bai Struggle just a little ruffian, witty, and a literary and artistic young ......?"
"And then? Can you act? Your skills are not up to standard, your emotions are not full, and the character analysis that you can't play is all a piece of waste paper. ”
Xu Fei smiled, "I suggest you a way, don't keep thinking about playing white struggle, you just treat yourself as a white struggle." For example, in the opening paragraph, don't think about what Bai Zhan will say, just think about what you will say?"
"So, is that still a show?"
"This goes back to what I started talking about, the character is objective, the performance is subjective. I didn't go beyond the scope of the character, I thought of myself as a white struggle, and I felt that at this time, I should talk like this...... Why can't this be called a show?"
"Ouch, ouch......"
Ge You scratched his ears and cheeks, excited and restless, vaguely understood the meaning, but it was just a layer of window paper.
"Another thing, you're too nervous during the day and not relaxed enough. ”
"But I feel quite relaxed. ”
"No, no, come, you lie down now. ”
Xu Fei pointed to the ground, Ge You didn't say a word, he was facing up, lying straight on the concrete floor.
"Is it hard?"
"Hard. ”
"How else do you feel?"
"There's something up there. ”
"Try to sink your body, your muscles, your whole body muscles down. ”
"I can't sink it, it's still hard. ”
"Alright, get up. ”
Xu Fei dragged him up and said with a smile: "Remember this feeling, is your bed soft?"
"Still, okay. ”
"When you go home and lie down again, when you feel like you don't have anything to hold on to and sink all your muscles, it's completely relaxed. ”
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
At this moment, the gourd suddenly came out of the bushes, ran this way with all his might, followed by a bang, and chased out the two of them.
They were in uniform, they didn't know what the system was, and they shouted, "What for?"
"Is there something wrong?"
"Public security inspection, take out the documents and I'll take a look!"
Xu Fei took out his work card, the other party looked at it, and then looked closer, "Yo, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." What are you doing here at night?
"There's a drama research study, and you're still working so late?"
"Hey, this time is busy, either beating the dog or beating the blind stream. I'll have to go to Taoran Pavilion to see it later, the place is big, and it's all blind at night. ”
"So what's the matter with the catch?"
"Send merit to the forest, okay, we have to pass. ”
The two of them left.
Xu Fei asked, "What do you feel? Is there a sense of superiority?"
"Uh......"
"Don't hide it, I want your truest feelings. ”
"Yes, indeed. Ge You was embarrassed to admit it.
"And what about after the superiority?"
"I think those people are pitiful......"
He looked at the backs of the two of them in the distance, and added: "These people are also fierce enough, anyway, it's not a taste." ”
"Remember, the little nanny episode is useful. Xu Fei sighed and patted him on the shoulder.
“......”
Ge You was stunned for a moment, and nodded violently, "Eh, eh!"
............
The two chatted until late and went home in the middle of the night.
Ge You has just gotten married, and his wife is mediocre-looking, and she is a primary school teacher who teaches art. After he filmed, his wife became a personal assistant, respected each other for more than 30 years, and did not have children.
"Did you come back so late, did you eat?"
"I'll eat later, I'll eat later. ”
As soon as Ge You entered the house, he took off his shoes and ran to the bedroom, and lay down on the bed.
"What are you doing?"
His wife wondered if she hadn't seen him undress, so she lay down and didn't speak.
The bed was newly bought for marriage, large and soft, he was facing up, his limbs apart, his eyes closed, and he was silently taking deep breaths.
When a person is straining, it is obvious that there is a strand of support in the back.
He slowly relaxed his mind and body, only to feel that he was sinking a little bit. The support also faded away, as if the muscles of the whole body had sunk in.
"Oh......"
Ge You opened his eyes and felt a sense of relaxation that he had never experienced before, "So that's what happened. ”
(And ...... )
