Chapter 18 Morning Exercises
At 5:50 in the morning, Zhang Ran came to the boys' dormitory 413. It's hot now, and for ventilation, 413's bedroom door is open with a crack. Zhang Ran opened the door directly and walked in. He looked at the four boys who were sleeping on the bed, then at the whistle in his hand, smiled, and then blew hard.
Beep――
The ears of the four sleeping boys buzzed, and they sat up like springs, and Jia Niliang almost rolled off the bed.
"Emergency assembly, emergency assembly!" Cao Bingkun shouted while standing on the bed while putting on his pants, but he quickly reacted, no, the military training is over!
The light in the room was relatively dim, and Jia Niliang didn't see who was blowing the whistle clearly, and shouted angrily: "Who the is this, don't let people live!"
Zhang Ran walked up to Jia Niliang and asked with a smile: "If you get up, you won't be allowed to live?" Are you so delicate?"
Jia Niliang saw clearly that it was Zhang Ran, and his face was immediately filled with a flattering smile: "Teacher Zhang, I'm not delicate, not delicate at all!"
Just after military training, the four boys moved quite quickly, and soon they were all dressed and stood in front of the bed.
Zhang Ran patted Jia Niliang's shoulder, beat Cao Kun's chest, and nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that the effect of the training is obvious, very good." But this state needs to be maintained, and for the four years of this year, you have to get up at 6 a.m. every day, start your morning work at 6:10 a.m., and continue until 7:10, for an hour. Remember, no one is allowed to be absent for any reason, whether it's cold or hot, snow or rain!"
"Yes!" replied loudly with the four boys holding their heads up.
It's just that the expressions of the four of them are ugly, and Jia Niliang is about to cry, damn, why is it not Teacher Wang Jingsong who is the head teacher, but Zhang Ran, a pervert?
I knew I should have gone to Chinese opera!
Four years, how many four years can there be in life?
……
Zhang Ran looked at the expressions of the four of them and knew that they might not know how to scold themselves in their hearts, but he didn't care, he believed in a word, and Yan Shi made a high apprentice: "Cao Bingkun, take the people in your dormitory to the playground!" After speaking, he turned around and called the students in the next room.
In the eyes of outsiders, learning acting must be a very easy thing, watching movies, taking notes, arranging sketches, and looking very leisurely.
In fact, the acting major is a very hard major. At six o'clock in the morning, the students of the acting department have to do morning exercises, open their voices, move their bodies, practice their voices, practice their breath, and practice their mouths, such as tongue twisters, 800 pacesetters running to the north slope, etc., as the grade rises, there will be some homework, monologues, poetry and prose lines, etc., which must be completed before breakfast. In the evening, it is very common to rehearse homework, that is, to rehearse sketches, or rehearse scripts, and rehearse until eleven or twelve o'clock every night. Sleeping only three or four hours a day is a common occurrence for acting students.
At this moment, the 30 students of Form 01 on the playground have gathered. The boys were called by Zhang Ran and Zhou Zheng, and the girls were called by Li Xinyue, as a male teacher, Zhang Ran was not good at running to the girls' dormitory, so he still had to avoid suspicion.
The students in the class thought that the military training was over, everything was back to normal, and they could sleep a little longer, but they didn't expect to get up earlier than the military training now. Most of the boys were listless, like frosted eggplants, and the daughters were full of complaints and pouts, so that they could hang up the oil bottles.
Zhang Ran looked at the students in the class and said with a smile: "The content of the line class should have been taught by Teacher Chen, but I am in charge of the morning work, and I can't let you be stunned here today, so I will teach you this first lesson." Who has done morning exercises before, do you know why they do morning exercises?"
Three or four students in the crowd raised their hands.
Zhang Ran beckoned to Cao Bingkun, Cao Bingkun had attended a training class, ran through the trick at the gate of the Beijing Film Studio, and had a deeper understanding of performance than others: "Cao Bingkun, come here!"
Cao Bingkun walked up to Zhang Ran, bowed and saluted, "Teacher, what are your orders?"
Zhang Ran said: "You have attended Nortel's training class, you have been trained, tell you why you want to do morning exercises!"
Cao Bingkun went to Nortel's night school for a year before taking the Nortel exam, and he still knew a little bit of this knowledge, so he talked about it.
Acting is a very specialized science, and it is not the superficial thing that the audience sees on TV to make an expression or make an action. In general, actors are trained, emphasizing the four aspects of lines, vocal music, body and performance.
When an actor is on stage in front of hundreds of people, you have to speak in a way that the audience can hear, hear, understand, expressive, and charismatic. There is a saying that "if you have a talented voice, you must work hard in your mouth", which means that if the voice is not trained, it will not have a sonorous feeling.
Therefore, the students of the acting department have to get up every morning to practice like traditional drama and opera actors. In addition to the basic physical movements such as leg press and lower waist, the most important thing in the morning exercise is to practice the voice.
In recent years, with the prosperity of the TV drama market, as long as people who look good, they have been pulled to act, known as little fresh meat. Of course, acting in a TV series is really simple, do half a year of quality training, and don't be nervous in front of the camera, you can fool the audience.
However, the lines require effort, and the lines are not good enough to fool the audience. Zhao Wei's acting skills are okay, but because of his poor lines, he has been criticized by the audience for many years. Naturally, these people's acting skills and lines can't be compared with Zhao Wei, so how can they keep the audience from playing?
Therefore, domestic TV dramas can insist on using actors with original sounds, and their acting skills are generally good. Because of this, the Golden Rooster Award stipulates that dubbed characters cannot participate in the selection of acting awards.
Zhang Ran doesn't want the students he teaches to have to rely on dubbing to act, which is simply a shame for himself as a teacher. When Cao Bingkun finished speaking, he smiled and applauded, and said, "Very good speech! Cao Bingkun, you can show everyone how to do morning exercises, how to do it now!"
"Yes!"
Cao Bingkun moved his body, then stood still, his feet were shoulder-width apart, he took a breath and began to speak: "Hey, ha! hey, hey, hey......"
After "Heyha" sounded, Cao Bingkun began to practice pronouncing four rhymes, that is, "yes, yes, hey, ho", and then practiced smoothly: "One black, two black, three, four, five, six, seven black, ** black and ten black, I buy a cigarette pouch ebony pole and grab a black ...... at both ends"
Hearing this, Zhang Ran found that Cao Bingkun's recitation was good, but there was a rather serious problem, and immediately said: "Can you change "Ode to Thunder and Lightning"?"
"Yes!" Cao Bingkun took a breath and recited passionately, "Wind, ......roar,
Walking on Nortel's campus, if you hear a person suddenly say "Wind! you roar", don't think it's definitely from the acting department.
Cao Bingkun's recitation is full of emotion, natural emotion, giving people a sense of immersion, as well as a three-dimensional image, and the recitation is quite good. The students in the class all whispered: "Wow, I didn't see it, Cao Ban is so powerful!"
"Yes, the voice is very loud, the words are clear, it's really amazing!"
"The words are correct and round, just like an announcer, how do you practice it?"
……
Zhang Ran shook his head, stared at Cao Bingkun and said coldly: "The voice is too draggy, it's not clean, the voice is not penetrating, haven't you eaten?"
Cao Bingkun thought to himself that I really hadn't eaten, gritted his teeth, adjusted his breathing, and raised his voice.
In this way, his breath was not enough, and after a few sentences, not to mention his loud voice and full of emotions, even the normal rhythm was lost, and the whole recitation suddenly became a mess.
"Okay, you can stop!" Zhang Ran looked at Cao Bingkun, who was sweating profusely and had disordered breathing, shook his head and said: "Your voice is good, the words are very clear, and the accent is also accurate, but you ignore a very critical issue - breathing, you can't breathe, you can't breathe, you can't steal air, that's why it's like this." A good actor has to be on stage, a drama, two or three hours, according to your current state, you can't last half the scene, you have to learn to use your breath!"
Cao Bingkun had already realized that there was something wrong with his breath, and Zhang Ran's words proved it, and asked expectantly: "Teacher Zhang, what should I do, can you teach me?"
Zhang Ran nodded, this is not nonsense, you are my students, I don't teach, who teaches!
A few of them somewhat understood what Zhang Ran said, but the others looked at me and I looked at you, with disdainful expressions on their faces, breathing? This still needs to be taught, who can't breathe? This is too!
Wang Luodan said loudly: "Teacher Zhang, we are living people, we can all breathe, do we still need to learn to breathe?"
Zhang Ran glared at Wang Luodan fiercely, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "You think breathing is simple, right? Okay, which classmate can tell me, what is the difference between breathing when people are happy and when they are sad? What is the difference between breathing when they are surprised and when they are afraid? What is the difference between breathing when they are drunk and when they are crazy?"
The students present were all stunned, even Cao Bingkun, who had attended the training class, was stunned, is there a difference between breathing when he is happy and sad? Is there a difference between breathing in surprise and fear? No?
"On the stage, according to the state of the person, there are 15 ways of breathing, including joy, anger, sadness, joy, shock, fear, worry, thought, madness, madness, madness, splashing, swinging, drunkenness, and illness, that is to say, when people are in these 15 states, the breath is different, so the actor must use the corresponding breathing mode according to the state of the character when acting, so as to accurately express the physiological state of the character. For example, when you are happy, you should be in a happy mood, you should breathe easily, and your breath should be slightly lifted, and when you express your grief, you should take a deep breath and pant for breath, and if you are in extreme grief, you should hold your breath and let your breath go to your eyelids, which is called sticking to your breath in Peking Opera. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Ran paused, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he said in a loud voice: "Acting is a technology, it is a pile of details, and you can't even do the simplest and most basic thing like breathing, what do you rely on to shape the character! Who still thinks they know how to breathe now?"
The scene was silent, and the students present looked at Zhang Ran with awe. They are students of the performance department, and they have some contact with performance theory, but they have never heard of what Zhang Ran said. They realized that what Zhang Ran was going to teach was different from other teachers, and it was something completely new.
