"Believe that the role you want to play?is that simple?" Ding Yuyang asked, "Why can't you learn it?"

"It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do. Xiao Yao said, "This requires a very strong sense of faith. ”

"Sense of faith?" Ding Yuyang repeated.

"It's a new word for you?" Xiao Yao said, "Belief has two meanings: one is the actor's own confidence and grasp of the creation of the role, that is, whether you have the confidence and confidence to play the role well." The other refers to whether the actor sincerely believes in the role he or she is playing. ”

"Do you still have to believe in the role you play? Isn't that coming back again?" Ding Yu said, "Can you play it well?"

"Believing in the role you play is not the same thing as believing that you are the role you play!" Xiao Yao said, "believing that the role you play is only shaping the actor's second self, and believing that you are the role you play is the overlap of the actor's first self and second self?"

"The first self and the second self still coincide?" Ding Yuyang showed a confused expression on his face, "What are the first self and the second self?"

"Everyone has a first self and a second self. Xiao Yao said, "The first self is the self, the life form of a natural person. The second self is the rational "I", which is the ideology, the self-rational understanding formed in the process of growth, and the carrier that carries various cultures, thoughts, and ideologies. ”

"I don't understand!" Ding Yuyang shook his head in confusion.

"Let's put it this way," Xiao Yao said, "what people want to do spontaneously is not necessarily the same as what other people expect you to do. For example, if you're hungry and you see food, you must want to eat it, right?"

"Of course!" Ding Yuyang nodded.

But actually, as a social person, you can't just pick up food and eat it. Xiao Yao said, "If the food is on the counter, then you know that it is a commodity, and you have to spend money to buy it, and others will only give it to you after you have paid for it." If the food is in someone else's hands and someone else is eating it, you will know that it is someone else's food, not yours, and you can't grab it and eat it.

So, to put it simply, the first self is your nature as a natural person, and the second self is a norm of behavior for you as a socialized person. This kind of behavioral norm not only comes from the constraints of law and morality, but also from your cognition, your thoughts, and your ideology. Do you make that clear?"

"Understood!" Ding Yuyang nodded again.

"This is for the average person. Xiao Yao continued, "For an actor's performance, the first self is the original self, and the second self is naturally the "self" of the role played, the self formed by the character's thoughts, spirit, and soul.

What the actor pursues is the overlap of the first self and the second self, so that the first self can act according to the behavioral logic and emotional logic of the second self, turn himself into the role he wants to play, and perform in the state of the "self" of the role. At that moment, "I" is no longer the actor himself, but the living character. This state is the so-called "entering the play". ”

"Into the play?" Ding Yuyang repeated.

"Do you think it's difficult to get into the play?" Xiao Yao asked.

"It's difficult!" Ding Yuyang nodded.

"It's quite difficult!" Xiao Yao nodded, and continued, "Why is it difficult to enter the play? is because it is relatively difficult for the actor's first self and second self to coincide. Why is it so difficult to achieve? is because the first self of the actor himself and the second self formed by the character are always different. For example, you are Ding Yuyang, not Zhou Jianyu, your mother is not called Zhao Meilan, your brother is not called Zhou Chenxi, you did not live in the nineties, etc., etc., if you say that I am Zhou Jianyu, you will really become Zhou Jianyu. ”

"Then what should I do?" Ding Yuyang asked, "How can I believe that I am Zhou Jianyu, and how can I turn myself into Zhou Jianyu?"

"I've already said it before!" Xiao Yao said, "Sense of faith, believe! Believe in the role, shape the second self, let the first self and the second self coincide, and enter the play!"

"But what should I do?" Ding Yu said, "This still sounds a little empty." ”

"Some people are born with a strong sense of faith, which is called having a talent for acting. Xiao Yao said, "But even if the talent is worse, the day after tomorrow can be obtained through hard training." ”

"How do you train?" asked Ding Yuyang.

"You should have learned "liberating nature" and doing training such as "animal simulation" in acting class before, right?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Learned!" Ding Yuyang nodded.

"Those are!" Xiao Yao said, "what is liberating nature? It is to restore our character to a state of perfect circle, to be as close as possible to a perfect character, and to make us as credulous as children." No matter what kind of role you play, you always believe in your heart that you are that character. Why do animal simulations? Because that's the most effective way to liberate your nature. If you can believe that you are a dog, a cat, or a tiger, then what can you not believe in other roles in the future?"

"I've heard these things from my teachers, and I've done them. Ding Yu said, "But my performance is very poor, and I am not doing very well!"

"Emancipating nature and animal simulation is not a physical class, whether you do it well or not is secondary," Xiao Yao said, "The important thing is whether you enhance your sense of belief from these trainings." ”

"Oh, but the effect doesn't seem to be very obvious!" Ding Yu said.

"Then keep up the good work!" Xiao Yao said.

"However, there are different genres of performance and different methods, and the excavation of prescribed situations mentioned earlier is also one. Xiao Yao said again, "To put it bluntly, that is to let your first self create a second self, the actor is creating a character, the more details you create this character, the more specific and vivid it will be for you, when your second self is perfect enough, then in this process of creation, the first self and the second self will naturally merge together." ”

"So I should be like Zhou Feng to write a short biography?" Ding Yuyang asked.

"Acting, on the one hand, it depends on talent, on the other hand, on the other hand, it depends on hard work, and in terms of hard work, you also need to find the right method!" Xiao Yao said, "Everyone is different, and the suitable method is not necessarily the same, you can experience it yourself!"

"Got it, thank you, teacher!" Ding Yuyang bowed.

"Why aren't you a senior?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Director, where do you look like a senior just now? Obviously you are a teacher who teaches acting!" Wang Jiayi said, "From now on, we will call you teacher!"

"Less," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "What I just said was taught by the teachers in the school." Zhou Feng and Ding Yuyang don't count, the four of you must have learned, you know, what kind of teacher am I in front of you?"

"Even if the teacher taught it before, if you say it again now, we have benefited a lot!" Zhang Yunlan said seriously.

"Alright, alright!" Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "Class time is over, let's rehearse!"

"Teacher, I need a little time to dig into the prescribed situation!" Zhou Feng raised his hand.

"Me too!" Ding Yuyang also said.

"Okay, then we'll line up Lin Qiuyang and Lin Jianjun in the middle of this section now!" Xiao Yao said to Wang Jiayi and Lin Kaijie, "You two started with Zhou Chenxi leaving to buy steamed buns!"

"Okay!" Wang Jiayi and Lin Kaijie nodded together.

Xiao Yao's tirade has some effect. By noon, Zhou Feng and Ding Yuyang, the two non-undergraduate students, had performed much better than before during the rehearsal, and under Xiao Yao's continuous adjustment and guidance, they had basically achieved the effect required by Xiao Yao.

After lunch, Xiao Yao gave the six of them about an hour to rest, and only began to rehearse at one o'clock in the afternoon. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, when it was time for Xiao Yao's group of formal on-site rehearsals, the whole group went to the stage of the studio and rehearsed on the stage where the formal props were arranged.

During the on-site rehearsal, not only did there be more elaborate props and the on-site stage, but all six people also changed into costumes and put on the makeup of the characters. In a more realistic scene and a shape that is more in line with the image of the characters, the performance of the six people in the rehearsal is much better than in the rehearsal room.

"Good performance!" After the rehearsal, Xiao Yao smiled and clapped his hands, "It's even better than in the rehearsal room!"

"Thank you, Director!" said the six in unison.

"Looking forward to your performance in the evening!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"I won't let you down!" Wang Jiayi said.

"That's good!" Xiao Yao said, "Disband!"

"Huh?" said the six in surprise.

All six of them knew that each crew had a limited amount of time to rehearse on stage. However, they all thought that after the rehearsal, they would go back to the rehearsal room to rehearse, but they didn't expect Xiao Yao to directly call out for dissolution.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Director, aren't we going back to the rehearsal room to practice?" asked Zhang Yunlan.

"It's already good, don't practice!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Then there are still a few hours, what are we going to do?" Wang Jiayi asked.

"Free movement, what do you like," Xiao Yao said, "but my personal advice is to rest and sleep." ”

"Rest, sleep?" Wang Jiayi asked, "Director, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true!" Xiao Yao said, "The way you are now is basically the best effect you can do, and it is good enough for you." You've all been rehearsing intensively for so long, and I don't think it's a good idea to keep rehearsing. I think what you need to do now is not to continue rehearsing, but to keep your character in shape and keep your spirits ready for the official performance in the evening. ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Yunlan nodded, "Then we'll listen to the director!"

"Director, we're all going to rest, so why are you going?" asked Wang Jiayi again.

"Stay here and watch the rehearsals of the other groups," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Investigate the enemy's situation! But you don't have to think about this, no matter how the other groups perform, I won't tell you! You just need to play your scene well!"

"Okay!" the six nodded, "Director, see you in the evening!"

"Goodbye!" Xiao Yao waved his hand and sat down in a corner of the auditorium.

Because the props were being dismantled on the stage, after the six newcomer actors in Xiao Yao's group left, the newcomer actors in the other groups did not appear immediately, until the props of Xiao Yao's group were removed on the stage and the props of another stage play were installed, and a group of newcomer actors and directors entered the venue.

"Hey, peeking here alone!" Xiao Yao looked at the rehearsal on the stage and was watching it, when he was slapped on the shoulder, and then a voice came into his ears from behind him.

Xiao Yao looked back and found that it was Chen Qiuyue, smiled and waved his hand, and whispered, "Hello senior sister!"

Chen Qiuyue smiled, walked around to the front, and sat down in the seat next to Xiao Yao.

"Senior sister came quite early!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Teacher Ke and Wenbo seniors are they here?"

According to the script of the program team, Ke Jun, Jin Wenbo, and Chen Qiuyue, the three resident guests, did not have a shooting task this afternoon, and they were not required to come forward until the official performance of the big assessment in the evening.

"We're all here, we're all here together. Chen Qiuyue said with a smile, "Teacher Ke is confirming the process and strings of words for tonight's big assessment with Director Meng, and Brother Wen Bo went to the rehearsal room to see the juniors and sisters who are rehearsing." ”

"Then why didn't you go?" Xiao Yao asked, "Why did you come here?"

"Check the process and string words, these are good with Mr. Ke. The two of us are not professional hosts, we will say whatever words we give us, and when Mr. Ke confirms with Director Meng, the two of us will familiarize ourselves with it in advance, and then we will just read it according to the script. Chen Qiuyue said, "As for Brother Wen Bo's side, the two of us would have acted separately when we did this kind of thing. There are six groups of people in total, six rehearsal rooms, and the two of us divide the work, he watches a few, and I watch a few. The first thing I went to was your rehearsal room, but when I went, I found no one!

When I saw that there was no one in the rehearsal room, I thought that your group was rehearsing here, but when I came in, I realized that it was not your group rehearsing. I asked the staff to find out that your group was the last one, and the rehearsal had been completed. Originally, I thought I missed it on the way and wanted to go back to your rehearsal room, but a staff member told me that you didn't go back to the rehearsal room, and you let the new actors in your group go back to the dormitory to rest, and you stayed here alone to watch the rehearsals of the other groups. ”

"Speaking of which, I haven't said anything about you yet!" Chen Qiuyue looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Why did you let all the rookie actors in your group go back to rest?"

"It's all rehearsed, and the rehearsal is very good, why can't they be allowed to rest?" Xiao Yao asked rhetorically.

"Rehearsal ready?" Chen Qiuyue said, "The script I just got yesterday has less than twenty-four hours of rehearsal time, how good can it be?

"Thank you for your concern!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "But whether the effect is good or not, you will know when you watch it at night! Besides, it's just a variety show, do you need to be so attentive? I'm the flying guest of one episode of the show, really queue up with them for 24 hours? They are tired, I'm tired, it's almost enough!"

"Don't you need to be so careful? It's almost enough?" Chen Qiuyue said with a smile, "But how can someone start recording in the afternoon, but they came early in the morning?"

"I said, that's because I'm bored!" Xiao Yao said, "What I did yesterday morning and afternoon, you don't know!"

"Okay," Chen Qiuyue said, "But how can I still hear that a certain flying guest gave a long acting lesson to someone during the rehearsal this morning?

"That's also boring, by the way!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Will you be bored during rehearsals?" said Chen Qiuyue with a smile.

"Isn't it okay?" Xiao Yao said.
