As an actor, Feng Yuanyi is a little sad about Chinese drama and Chinese performance education, and is dissatisfied with many of them. www.biquge.info After seeing this discussion about whether or not to wear a microphone, he posted an article on his blog to talk about his views on drama and performance.

In the article, Feng Yuan showed his views straight to the point: "I firmly oppose the use of a microphone in dramas, and wearing a microphone is not qualified to be called a drama actor." Let's experience life, an old lady said, I have been watching Renyi's dramas in the past few years, and I think that in addition to the old actors, many young actors can't hear their lines clearly. That's why I wear a microphone now, why is this happening? Because today's actors are not good at basic skills. Now there is a big problem with acting teaching in China, it's really a mess!

In the art departments of various universities in China, most of the teachers who teach acting do not know how to act, and after graduating from the bachelor's degree, they go to graduate school, and then stay in school to become teachers, and his teachers give them to him to teach students. As a professor in Europe, you have to have a performance work, you have to have a thesis, you have your acting theory. So he has to act, and the school's rule is that every year you teachers have to play a play for your students, and you have to let the students pick you. Acting is a handicraft work, and the teacher himself has never acted, so how can he teach the students without the skills? Nowadays, many school students don't do their morning exercises, and the teacher can only say, "Okay, it has nothing to do with me when I go out of school anyway......"

Feng Yuanyi is a very straightforward person, and he said that Ge You used a microphone in a drama in the last life. In this life, he won the best actor at the Tokyo Film Festival, participated in more and better works, whether it was influence, or his fame was greater than that of the previous life, and he was more confident in speaking.

After this article was issued, major media reported it one after another, with the headline "Feng Yuanyi bombarded China's performance education". This publicity in the media immediately sparked heated discussions, and the article was forwarded everywhere in the online world.

"That's so good, the acting skills of young actors nowadays are really not good, like Huang Xiaoming, what are they playing! How good is Mr. Feng Yuanyi's acting skills, An Jiahe and Chen Wei are so scared to death, they played a small role in "No Thieves in the World" last year, and they can make people laugh and support Mr. Feng!"

"Watching TV series, I generally don't look at people, but listen to the actors' line skills, there are really few qualified, Jiao Huang is one, Feng Yuanyi, Chen Baoguo are very tasteful. ”

"Support Mr. Feng, now the aesthetics of some audiences' movies are much lower than before, I don't care about your acting skills, I don't care about your, as long as you are handsome!"

In the midst of heated discussions, something unexpected happened, and suddenly many people poured into Feng Yuanyi's blog to insult him wildly, what perverts, garbage, and things like that. Feng Yuan was a little stunned, I don't know what's going on, I'm telling the truth, why do so many people come to scold me?

It has been a few days since Zhang Jing first joined the crew of "Huo Yuanjia", but her drama has not yet started filming. During the day, he trained in the crew to prepare for filming, and at night he surfed the Internet in his room. She felt strange when she saw so many people scolding Feng Yuan, and she didn't understand why. She didn't want to ask Feng Yuanyi, so she called Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran went to Feng Yuanyi's blog and looked at the comments again, and understood what was going on. Feng Yuan was scolded not because he criticized Chinese performance education, nor because he criticized the Stanley system, but because of his rejection of "liberating nature" and "animal simulation".

Feng Yuanyi wrote in the article: "The Lotovsky school was founded in the 70s, Grotowski was a student of Steiny, why he founded this performance genre, is because he thinks Stanley's performance genre is a bit old, Stanley is dismantling performance, that is, he has attention exercises, relaxation exercises, and animal imitation exercises when teaching you to perform......

This method of dismantling expands the performance, and the domestic acting education adds more useless things on the basis of Stanley, such as the liberation of nature, which is the word I dislike the most, which is a word that misleads the actors. For example, if you practice imitating animals, I don't think it's a good thing for students to imitate animals. Let me ask, I've been acting for more than 20 years, which animal have I played? There are only a few people in China who can play animals, and they still have to play Monkey King and Zhu Bajie, so why do we have to imitate animals and practice? Why do we have to imitate animals and practice? Why do we want to be animals and animals like that if we don't even do a good job ourselves?

Zhang Ran agreed very much with the content written by Feng Yuanyi, especially the view on the liberation of nature, which really won Zhang Ran's heart, and the statement of liberating nature is very misleading, and it can even be said to be harmful. However, for many domestic performance training classes, liberating nature and animal simulation are indeed the only way for them to fool people.

There are very few opportunities for children in China to go on stage, unlike children abroad who have many opportunities to perform since they were young, and they can perform on stage, so many people can't let go when they first come into contact with acting. In response to this, many training schools simplify the liberating nature and think that performance should be open. After taking the course of liberating nature, many students think that it is natural to be arrogant, to play with each other is to let go, and that non-couple boys and girls are free to get close to each other casually, and that they can play their inner self in the street.

When parents see that their children used to be introverted and timid, but now they have become generous, they feel that they are "amazing" and "the teacher teaches them well", and the students have done things that they thought were impossible to do before, gained unprecedented experience, and felt that they have learned real things.

In fact, this kind of externalized treatment is contrary to Stanley's heartwork, this kind of babbling students is the most hated by acting teachers, many teachers would rather have blank paper than this kind of student, because this kind of babbling problem is much more difficult to get rid of than to teach a student who can't!

The training school doesn't care about this, they don't care about the future of the students at all, as long as you give them the money, even if it's Sister Feng, he dares to say that he can train Liu Yifei.

These training schools originally relied on the lofty concept of liberating nature to fool students and parents, but now Feng Yuanyi said that these are useless, they are fooling people, and they are smashing other people's jobs. Cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing parents. The people from the training school naturally jumped out and frantically insulted Feng Yuan.

After listening to Zhang Ran's analysis, Zhang Jingchu suddenly realized that this was the case. After hanging up the phone, she registered a vest and left a message under Feng Yuanyi's blog, The people who scolded you are all training schools, and your article has ruined their business. As a result, Feng Yuan didn't see it, but provoked a group of people to chase her and scold.

Zhang Jingchu was very angry, and the consequences were very serious, so she called Feng Yuanyi and retold Zhang Ran's analysis results.

Feng Yuanyi understood what was going on, and said with emotion: "Zhang Ran's brain is good!"

Zhang Jingchu was very puzzled: "I didn't mention Zhang Ran, how do you know that it's Zhang Ran's opinion!"

Feng Yuan laughed and said, "Even I can't figure out what's going on, how can such a simple little girl as you understand, who else is there besides Zhang Ran?"

Zhang Jingchu thought about it, as if this was really the case, and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Feng Yuanyi was a little helpless about this: "If it's a teacher in the acting department, I can still debate with them, these people are specially here to scold the street, and it's useless to debate with them." However, Feng Yuanyi didn't delete the blog, what these people wanted was this effect, and he didn't let them get their way.

However, experts and professors quickly jumped out, and some of them had connections with training schools, either taking classes at the school, or registering themselves in the school, in short, to take money from these schools. Of course, there are also people who simply disagree with Feng Yuanyi's view, after all, Stanley is the mainstream in China.

A Nortel professor published an article on his blog, bombarding: "The most suitable person to be an actor should have a child-like personality, and when each of us is born, we are born with various personalities, brave, cowardly, and cunning...... All human personality traits can be found in children. Man's innate character is like a perfect circle, and countless kinds of personality have become countless points that make up a circle, and at the beginning, our character is complete. However, our circle has been squeezed by parents, schools, and society, and has become an incomplete shape.

To liberate our nature is to restore our character to a perfect state, to get as close as possible to a perfect character, to make us as credulous as children, no matter what kind of role we play, we all believe in our hearts that we are that character. And the most effective means of liberating nature is animal simulation and non-physical exercises. If you can believe that you are a pig, a monkey, or a tiger from your heart, and if you can firmly believe that this thing exists in the void without anything in your hand, then what else can you not believe in playing a novel role in the future?

Feng Yuanyi is an excellent actor, but an excellent actor is not equal to an excellent teacher, acting and education are two different things. Stanley is always the unfinished tense, not the perfect tense. The Stanley system is not a one-time system, it is an open system, and many people have made efforts and contributed their wisdom to enrich and develop it. Feng Yuanyi's understanding of Stanley is stuck in the eighties, which is incorrect. The Stanley training method we teach now is very different from what Feng Yuanyi learned in the 80s, and he has absorbed a lot of advanced things from Europe and the United States. ”

At the beginning of Nortel's professor, Bai Fanping of Chinese opera also jumped out, and he had an argument with Zhang Ran because of the issues of "liberating nature" and "animal simulation". Chinese opera has always been the first choice of major drama troupes, and Chinese opera has always prided itself on cultivating actors, but this year, all major theater troupes are recruiting people in Nortel, but not in Chinese opera, so that Bai Fanping can't raise his head in school at all.

Feng Yuanyi told this in the article, which is equivalent to exposing Bai Fanping's scars in public, so he was very angry: "The situation in China is different from that in the West, Western countries, such as American actors, their congenital family environment and upbringing conditions are very enlightened and democratic, and the nature of children has not been suppressed too much, and they have basically maintained a cheerful and open nature in adulthood. In fact, the traditional Chinese Confucian education and the family structure of the supremacy of parental power are particularly harmful to the education of future generations and the development of nature, so we must liberate our nature. Feng Yuanyi took the situation of the West and put it on China's head, but he did not see the difference between China and the West. Education should proceed from reality, and we should not just copy it! Mr. Feng, I advise you to play your drama well!"

Immediately afterwards, some people followed up in Chinese opera, upper opera, and Chinese transmission to criticize Feng Yuanyi. They agreed that Stanley was scientific, liberating and time-tested animal simulation had a very important role to play in the teaching of acting.

Many students who claim to study acting have also come forward and left comments under the blogs of these experts and professors to support their remarks.

Feng Yuanyi was very happy, the more the truth was debated, the clearer it became, and the clearer the truth became. He really thinks that there is a big problem with Chinese acting education, and he is not afraid that these experts will teach it, but he is afraid that they will not come out. He immediately wrote an article in response: "Having a good circle is, believing that you are a pig or a monkey is nonsense, who can really believe that you are a pig or a monkey? Conceptual things can't be mastered, you are deceiving people!"

Zhang Jingchu was the first celebrity to stand up and post an article in support of Feng Yuanyi, not because she knew Feng Yuanyi, but because she really disliked the training of liberating nature. She wrote on her blog: "I just started taking acting classes in Chinese opera, taking liberating nature classes, learning animals and imagining that I am a seed slowly germinating or something, I can't let go and can't act at all, I feel very embarrassed, I can't take such a class and cry, and my classmates are not willing to partner with me to act." At that time, I felt very inferior and felt that I couldn't act. Now let me play seeds, play animals, I still can't play. Teacher Feng Yuanyi is right, why do you want to play animals, why do you want to liberate your nature? These are a bit formalistic, you can't be an actor if you don't do this? It's not like this!"

In the next few days, experts, scholars and celebrities continued to join the camp of both sides and express their opinions. However, in general, the party led by experts and professors has an advantage, and Feng Yuanyi is completely at a disadvantage, after all, China's acting education is based on the Stanley system, and Feng Yuanyi and these actors must not be able to talk about theories with professors.

However, the debate deepened, and in early May 2005, the controversy caused by the actor's wearing a microphone was evolving into a big controversy about the Stanley system and about China's acting education, which gradually spread to the whole country. (To be continued.) )
