One dances, one sings, one lives. In the world of unrequited love, in the world of crushes, everything is just a person's story, it's stupid, it's helpless, it's lonely, it's painful...... I know all this, but I still can't control the surging emotions in my heart, bitter and crazy, confused and happy, even if I just look at each other, even if I just wait by the side, I still can't control and begin to sink.

I love him, I love her.

It's like a magic spell, pushing yourself into madness step by step, and moths to the fire are not sparing. No resentment, just bitterness, no anger, just dazedness, no tears, just loss, no earth-shattering, just singing alone, no ups and downs, just a surging heart...... But the emotions of unrequited love and secret love are so delicate and abundant, but they are so touching and beautiful.

There are no fancy movements, no exaggerated ways, and even the expressions and eyes are not too much embellishment, stripping away all the burden of performance, returning to the basics, a clean, pure, simple, sincere, and direct singing, all the weight is pinned on the graceful and moving melody, but it bursts out with amazing performance power-

A look, a smile, a downward gaze, a gaze, a footstep, a trembling, a standing up...... Every action is streamlined to the extreme, but it hits every node just right, perfectly combining lyrics and melody, so accurate, so profound, so ingenious, that delicate and real emotion hits the audience's heart again and again, and before the brain can react, the shock has already surged, almost suffocating.

The stage, the small open space in front of me is a stage, and Lan Li stands on this stage, blooming with a thousand lights!

Nathan opened his mouth wide and looked at Lan Li with a stunned face, tears had already blurred his vision, and the whole world had escaped into a haze, but he was still reluctant to look away, he didn't even dare to blink, and the emotion of emotion rampaged through his chest, and the whole person completely lost his armor and collapsed, and stood in place in a daze, unable to move.

Even when filming on the set of "Fighting Cancer", Nathan never felt such a direct, ferocious, or real emotion, and his brain completely surrendered, like a flat boat, drifting with the tide in the storm, completely drowning in it.

Not only Nathan, but Roy's eyes widened, his eyes flashed with admiration, and the deep amazement in his heart came one after another, and he really couldn't help but want to applaud, the impulse was so turbulent that he almost lost control. Now Roy finally understands why the theater audience is always keen to applaud, because the shock is impossible to vent, and applause is the only way.

Roy agrees that Lan Li is a brilliant actor, but every time he watches Lan Li's performance, Roy's inner amazement deepens.

Tonight, Roy really understood what it meant to be "from the academy", "love is crazy", "detachment", "buried alive", none of these works can really capture the essence of Lan Li's performance - at least the essence of expressionist acting, only when he really stands on the stage, the free, smooth, full and delicate performance can be brought into full play, without any embellishment, without any adjustment, but like a stormy wave, it makes people breathless.

"So, how does it feel?" After the performance, Lan Li lightly jumped in place twice, relaxed his muscles, and looked at Nathan and Roy with a smile, casting an inquiring look.

Roy and Nathan were both dumbfounded: one second they were still immersed in the mood of "being alone", and the next second Lan Li had already returned to normal...... The two characters are so different, but Lan Li has switched so lightly? It's incredible.

Without receiving an answer, Lan Li shook his hands and chuckled, "It seems that I haven't polished my basic skills for too long, and some details are not well controlled." Let's take a look at the replay!" Lan Li moved his shoulders, picking on the fault of his performance just now, "Luckily, this is not the real stage, we can still watch the replay and make adjustments at any time." If you stand on the stage, it's an accident. Lan Li actually had the heart to joke, Nathan's jaw was about to be pushed back.

This is true expressionist acting, even "detachment" can't be compared, this is a complete return to the stage performance, although there is a camera in front of him, but Lan Li is paying attention to Nathan and Roy The two audience members are performing.

When standing on the stage and putting on a performance, the actor's brain must be absolutely awake, know exactly what he is doing and where he is in the whole play, and then according to the content of the rehearsal, accurately match every emotion and accurately represent every node.

Take the song "Alone and Alone" as an example, when to move, when to face the audience, when to turn away from the audience, when to be bitter, when to be sad, when to be painful, when to pause, when to breathe, when to explode, and more importantly, every node must be completely in line with the melody and lyrics, even if it is only half a second apart, and then the actor must make adjustments.

During the whole performance process, the actor's personal emotions and the emotional struggles of the characters are extracted, and the objective and calm perspective is accurately and meticulously controlled to complete the performance task.

In methodist acting, Epenny's emotions may completely burst and even fall apart and cannot be recovered, or she may be bitter and overwhelmed, and the heart-wrenching pain can be expressed in countless ways, and emotions can also evolve into countless possibilities.

But on the theatrical stage, this is not allowed.

First, the stage is very vast and too far away, and those intricate and delicate emotions cannot be captured by the audience at all, which will cause the rhythm of the performance to become dragged.

Second, after the actor is too immersed in his own emotions, he can't take it back, so what about the next act? During the filming, the actor can leave the camera, take a deep breath, relax his emotions, and regain his state, but on the stage, there is no time and no space.

Third, the actor's emotions must match the lines, melody, lyrics, and rhythm of the entire play, and outbursts are allowed, but they must also be controlled within a reasonable range. Because the drama is a whole, the loss of control of one actor may affect the symphony orchestra playing live, it may affect the actors, it may affect the handling of stage props, and it may affect the performance of the actors in the next act.

This is also the core meaning of expressionist acting, extracting the actor's resonance with the character, just understanding the emotion, expressing the emotion, presenting the story, and achieving a shocking effect through the proficiency and profundity of his own acting skills, with the plot and stage. Control, throughout the performance, ensures that the actor knows exactly what he is doing and what he is going to do.

It is precisely because of the deep bond between the actor and the character that after the performance, Lan Li quickly got rid of the influence of the role and returned to normal.

Of course, this does not mean that actors don't need to interpret the characters. The interpretation of the characters of the expressive acting, as well as other preparations, are all done before the stage, and after rehearsals over and over again, they are deeply imprinted in the body and brain.

It is always said that the core focus of expressionist acting is that one person has a thousand faces, and an actor can accurately and vividly express a thousand roles, and the actor still does not fall into them, while the core meaning of methodist acting is to care about one person and one role, and is deeply trapped in a role and cannot extricate himself, and even goes crazy.

Tonight, Lan Li vividly illustrates this point.

In the performance just now, Lan Li has no character attributes, it can be Epenny's "single shadow", it can be Marius's "single shadow", or Jean-Argent's "single shadow", the bitterness and loneliness of unrequited love are applicable to everyone, which is a universal performance method.

However, in the theatrical performance, the characters also have ins and outs and unique attributes, but Lan Li's memory of the detailed plot of "Les Miserables" is a little blurred.

Before Epenny sang this song, what kind of inner hurt and regret did she interact with Marius, and after singing this song, did she choose to sacrifice herself to complete Marius's revolutionary career, or chose to hide the news of Cosette's departure and be selfish in love for a while. Lan Li can't even remember these details, after all, the last time he watched "Les Miserables" was four years ago.

In fact, these differences in story lines will inevitably bring about differences in characters and performances. For example, the last lyric, "I love her/him, but it's just wishful thinking", whether this determines self-sacrifice and sudden enlightenment, or whether it decides to take risks and be selfish, the interpretation of emotions is bound to be different.

Lan Li is also unsure whether he should do addition or subtraction in today's audition video.

The addition means that if Epenny's character is further prominent, and she sings it entirely from Epenny's point of view, then the song will be more mournful and vulnerable, not only because Epenny is a woman, but also because of the impact of Epenny's life experience since childhood.

Subtraction means to diminish Epenny's attributes and sing it from the perspective of Jean-Argent or Marius, turning this song into a unique adaptation that proves that he can play different roles. But this will weaken the appeal of the song itself.

So, as Lan Li just said, fortunately, today he can find the most suitable rhythm by watching the replay and then performing it repeatedly.

Walking forward, Lan Li took the camera off the tripod and started the replay, and Nathan and Roy also came over to watch the performance again.

"Is this my delusion? Why do I feel different when I watch it on the screen? I still like the direct performance. Nathan's question spoke Roy's heart, and at the same time the difference between the blue rite performance.

"The difference between the stage and the film. Lan Li said simply, then shook his head slightly, not satisfied with the performance just now, "Do it again." ”
