When Akina Nakamori heard that Junya Sato was going to replace herself, her whole face was as pale as paper, and fear was written in her eyes. She looked at Xu Wangqiu with pleading eyes, hoping that he could help her say that she could act well.

Tang Yuqiang has a good relationship with Akina Nakamori, and when he heard that Junya Sato was about to replace Akina Nakamori, he opened his mouth and wanted to help her say two good words, but considering that he didn't have the right to speak at this time, he finally closed his mouth.

In Xu Wangqiu's view, the performance circle is a bit like the rivers and lakes in martial arts. In martial arts, there are many martial arts sects, Shaolin, Wudang, beggar gangs, etc., each sect's martial arts practice to the end, you can practice to become a peerless master, but the kung fu of these sects may not be suitable for everyone, just like the martial arts of the ancient tomb school for Guo Jing to practice, I am afraid it will be difficult to practice.

There are many genres of acting, Stanley, Brecht, Grotowski, and many more. Each genre of performance has its own characteristics, and these characteristics determine the group of people to whom these genres are suitable. For example, Grotowski pays attention to the exploration of human potential, and will take high-intensity physical training when training actors. This method of training is ascetic, and ordinary people simply cannot bear it. In 1986, the German acting teacher Ruth Mersin went to Peking Renyi to train actors using the Grotowski training method, but most of the actors could not bear it and skipped class for various reasons. Wu Gang, the secretary of Dakang, was one of them, and the reason he skipped class was that he had athlete's foot.

There are also problems with the Stanley system, which requires extremely high talent from actors, the highest of all genres. When Zhang Ziyi commented on actors in "The Birth of an Actor", she often mentioned one word, a sense of faith. Because the performance is fake, the shooting set and the stage are all set, but Stanley asks the actors to believe that everything is real. If you don't have a strong enough sense of conviction, you can't do it at all.

Daniel Day-Lewis is a representative of the Stanley system, for example, a few months before the filming of The Last Mohican, he lived in the wilderness where the character might have lived, living a life of fishing and hunting. Even at Christmas dinner, he didn't eat the food he hunted, and completely turned himself into an Indian. If you don't have a strong sense of faith, you can't say that you think you'll be an Indian living in the wilderness for a few months, or you'll collapse if you stay for a few days.

After the Stanley system was introduced to the United States, Americans felt that the Stanley training methods and theories were excellent, but the difficulty was too high. The Americans are more practical, and on the basis of Stanley, they have integrated the local substitution method and come up with a compromise plan, which is the methodological school. When performing, you don't have to believe that you are acting for real, you can replace it with similar emotions. For example, when Maggie Cheung acted in the scene of "Sweet Honey" to identify the corpse, she did not force herself to believe that Brother Leopard was dead, but thought about her deceased relatives, and used the replacement method.

There is also a problem with methodology, which will guide and explore the actors' psychology when training actors, which will make some actors feel that their privacy has been violated. Meryl Streep became an opponent of Methodism when she was trained by Methodist professor Robert Lewis when she felt her privacy had been violated when she was a student at Yale.

In fact, how to practice a genre well, you can become a top actor, the key is whether it is suitable or not. For actors, the most important thing in learning acting is to find the right way to act. If you find the right way, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and if you go the wrong way, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

In Xu Wangqiu's opinion, when Akina Nakamori auditioned a few months ago, her performance was obviously natural and aura, but after a few months of training, her performance became too vigorous and very exaggerated, and it was likely that there was a problem with the training method.

Xu Wangqiu doesn't know which genre of teacher Akina Nakamori is looking for by Dayei Company, he is not particularly clear about Dongying's performance genre, but he knows that Dongying's showbiz is basically the world of the Brecht system and Dongying's own performance theory, and they all emphasize highlighting the personality of the characters through external expressions. In the last life, many domestic audiences said that Dongying actors' performances were exaggerated, but this was actually caused by this.

In addition to the problem of training, there is also a possibility that Akina Nakamori has a problem with her mentality. Some actors would have acted and their performances were very natural, but as time went on, their performances became more and more exaggerated, such as Huang Xiaoming. When Huang Xiaoming first debuted, her performance was very natural, but after acting in a few plays, she became a popular idol, her idol burden became heavier and heavier, and she was not relaxed and tense when acting, so her performance became more and more exaggerated. In the end, it was his psychological problems.

In fact, whether it is a problem with the training method or a psychological problem, in the final analysis, the director is not good enough. Zhang Yimou said that if the actor has tried his best and the role is still not played well, it is actually the director's own problem. In this case, the director should make adjustments, try to watch the guests serve the food and make adjustments, and cannot complain about the actors, or even disrespect the actors.

If the director of "A Game of Chess That Hasn't Been Finished" is only Xu Wangqiu, then whether it is a problem with the training method or Akina Nakamori's psychological problems, he is confident that he can correct it. But Akina Nakamori is a Japanese actor, and she only has the role of Toei, and her role is completely in charge of Junya Sato. If Xu Wangqiu insists on using Akina Nakamori, then Junya Sato will definitely have an opinion, feeling that Xu Wangqiu does not respect himself, and I am afraid that it will be more troublesome when cooperating in the future.

Xu Wangqiu couldn't make up his mind for a while: "Mr. Sato, is it necessary to change people? ”

Junya Sato insisted: "The company specially invited an acting teacher to train Nakamori for half a year, and recently I guided her to rehearse for more than 20 days, but she has not improved at all, and she is not acting material at all." "A Game of Chess That Hasn't Been Finished" has an excellent script, an excellent artistic concept, and an excellent staff, and it would be a pity if it was smashed on the actors. There is still more than half a month before the movie is about to start, and now it's still too late to replace people, if it drags on, she is still like this, it will really be too late!"

Xu Wangqiu turned his head to look at Akina Nakamori, only to see a frightened light in her eyes, like a child abandoned by her parents. He knew that if he was replaced, Akina Nakamori's career as an actor would be cut off. Junya Sato is quite influential in Toei, and Daiei Company is one of the five major film companies in Toei, and an actor who has been abandoned by them will no longer be used. I heard that she sings well and has been participating in singing competitions, maybe when she sings and becomes famous, she will have a chance to appear in a movie, but this possibility is very small.

Xu Wangqiu saw Akina Nakamori looking at him with pleading eyes, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered his dead sister, his heart couldn't help but soften, and he sighed slightly and said, "Why don't you give me a few days, let me try, maybe I can correct her problem." If it still doesn't work, then we'll change people. ”

Junya Sato was a little upset when she heard this, thinking to herself that I had been guiding her in rehearsals for more than 20 days, and she had not made any progress at all.

Junya Sato knows that Chinese love face, and Akina Nakamori was discovered by Xu Wangqiu, and now he wants to change people, Xu Wangqiu may feel that he has no face, so he wants to personally guide Akina Nakamori. This drama is co-directed by him and Xu Wangqiu, and he himself admires Xu Wangqiu more, and he doesn't want to stiffen the relationship, so he said: "Since you are willing to try, then try it! But we don't have much time." It can't be put off forever. I think so, if she still can't do it after a week, then we will resolutely change people. What do you think?"

It takes a week to correct actors who have gone the wrong way or have psychological problems, which is a huge challenge for Xu Wangqiu. However, as Junya Sato said, time is running out, and it is impossible to put off the problem until it is turned on and then solved. He smiled and said, "Then I'll try, if a week later, she is still like this, then we will change people." ”

Seeing Xu Wangqiu nodding, Sato Junya said, "Since Mr. Xu is confident in correcting Nakamori's problem, then I will ask Mr. Xu next, I am looking forward to Nakamori's performance in a week." I'll take my leave. With that, he turned and left.

Junya Sato said that he was looking forward to Akina Nakamori's performance in a week, but he was very unimpressed in his heart, the acting teacher invited by Daiei Company taught Nakamori for half a year, and I have been guiding Nakamori these days, but she has not improved at all, and it is completely a piece of wood. I don't believe that you can make her reborn and become a qualified actress in a week. If you really do it, I will change my surname from Sato to Saito!

Xu Wangqiu didn't know what Junya Sato was thinking, turned his head to look at Akina Nakamori, thinking about how to correct Akina Nakamori's problem. The most important thing now is to figure out what her problem is, and only by finding the cause can we prescribe the right medicine.

Akina Nakamori saw Xu Wangqiu's brows furrowed, looked at herself coldly, and chuckled in her heart. She thought that Xu Wangqiu was talking to herself, but looking at Xu Wangqiu's current expression, she was obviously very dissatisfied with herself. However, she also knew that only Xu Wangqiu could help her at this time, otherwise she would be fired from the crew because of her poor acting skills. She walked up to Xu Wangqiu, bowed to him, and said timidly, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble." ”

Xu Wangqiu waved his hand and said directly: "Daying Company specially asked the teacher to train you, what kind of training method did she use?" He saw that Akina Nakamori looked confused, so he said: "There are many acting genres, such as Stanley, Brecht, etc., and you also have Suzuki Tadashi training method." What school of methods did the teacher use to teach you, and what were the specific training contents?"

Akina Nakamori thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know what genre, the teacher didn't say." The training content is first, I am taught about body structure, I do exercises about the body, such as practicing head weight, then I am asked to do various movement exercises, such as bowing, sitting, followed by vocal and line exercises, and finally comprehensive training in acting. ”

Xu Wangqiu graduated from the Department of Directing, and acting is one of the three main courses of the Department of Directing. He was trained in the Stanley system, and he only knew a little about the training of other performing genres, but he was not proficient in it. However, what Akina Nakamori described, he was very familiar with. At the beginning of this year, Zhou Caiqin, the daughter of Peking Opera master Zhou Xinfang, was invited by Cao Yu and Jin Shan, the director of Chinese opera, to return from the UK and start a five-month short course in Chinese opera. The content of Zhou Caiqin's teaching is almost exactly the same as what Akina Nakamori said.

Xu Wangqiu stared at Akina Nakamori and said coldly: "This is the training method of the Royal Academy of Dramat. Have you ever heard a sentence, there are three kinds of actors in the world, male actors, actresses, and British actors. The Royal Academy of Drama is the UK's top drama school, producing a large number of high-quality actors to the National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and the film and television industry, such as Vivien Leigh and John Gilgood. You've been trained by the Royal Academy of Drama for half a year, and you're still able to act like this, you're a genius!"

Akina Nakamori didn't expect Xu Wangqiu to say this, her face flushed, and she lowered her head in shame.
