readx;? Chang Jirong limped on crutches and stumbled into the small theater. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Ran felt that Chang Jirong's walking state was a little different from that in the afternoon, so he walked over and kicked the crutches.
Chang Jirong suddenly lost his center of gravity, plopped, and fell to the ground.
Zhang Ran saw Chang Jirong fall to the ground, but his left foot was still straight, so he asked, "Did you fix your foot with something?"
Chang Jirong sat on the ground and scratched his head embarrassedly: "I can't achieve the corresponding effect by controlling the muscles as you said, I can only use a stupid way to fix my left foot with a few chopsticks and wrap it tightly with gauze." In this way, the left foot will not be able to be used flexibly, and it will be closer to a lame state!"
Zhang Ran didn't blame him, but nodded with satisfaction: "It's really a stupid way, but it's also a smart way." In fact, I think people who are too smart are often not good actors, and there are too many smart people in domestic actors, and they always want to take shortcuts, but they can't act well, so it's a good thing to be stupid as an actor. Daniel Day-Lewis spends a lot of time experiencing life in every play, trying to get as close to the characters as possible. When acting in "My Left Foot", both in and out of the play, he insisted on walking in a wheelchair, letting others feed him with a spoon, meticulously capturing every detail of the cerebral palsy patient, and even broke two ribs when he crossed the obstacle in a wheelchair. He has to prepare for a play, if not years, and he is a very stupid actor, but he is the best actor in the world!"
When the students in the class heard this, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought, what is smart and what is stupid?
Chen Bi asked, "Teacher Zhang, did you choose us because we are stupid?"
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Yes, I think you are all stupid, that's why I chose you!" After saying this, Zhang Ran suddenly realized that he was wrong, one of the ten students in the class was an exception, Yang Mi, she was very smart, and she was too smart!
Time flies, the time for the performance is getting closer and closer, and Zhang Ran's training is getting tighter and tighter. However, Zhang Ran's class did not give up basic skills training because of the rehearsal of the play, they still had to do four hours of Grotowski training every morning and morning, and used it to rehearse the drama in the afternoon and evening, and rehearsed until the early hours of the morning every night. One of the hardest is undoubtedly Chang Jirong, he has to maintain a normal state when he does Grotowski training in the morning, and he has to tie his feet when he goes back at noon, so that he can live like a real person with inconvenient legs and feet, and act like that.
After more than ten days of hard work, the students' performances became more and more perfect, and the whole play was more expressive and full of tension.
In the midst of the grueling rehearsals, the time came on November 1st.
Early in the morning, Zhang Ran gathered in the school's playground with more than 20 students. Although Yang Fan did not participate in the performance, she was a member of this class after all, so she also went with her. After Zhang Ran announced some precautions, everyone got on a specially chartered minibus and headed for the National Theater.
After more than ten days of rehearsals, the play "Richard III" has been performed decently, and the students are full of confidence in the next competition, do not feel nervous, and talk and laugh along the way.
The car stopped in front of the theater of the National Theater, and through the window, the students saw the big golden characters "National Theater of China" on the theater, and immediately began to talk excitedly. The National Theatre and the Theatre of Renyi are sacred places in the hearts of actors, and it is a great honor to be able to perform here.
It's not the first time Zhang Ran has come to Mandarin, and there is nothing new for him. However, he was still a little excited, and in the courtyard, there were several young figures standing, students brought out by himself.
"After getting off the bus, everyone hurry up and rehearse, we only have one chance to rehearse on the spot, and there will be no such shop in this village after that, everyone be serious!" Zhang Ran advised.
"Got it!" the two dozen team members replied in unison.
The door opened, and under Zhang Ran's command, more than 20 students got out of the car in an orderly manner.
After graduating from the students of 01 Biaoben, several of them entered the National Theater, knowing that Zhang Ran was coming, they waited at the door early. Now they saw Zhang Ran get out of the car, so they greeted him. Ji Chen, the leader, said with a hippie smile: "Teacher Zhang, welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"
Zhang Ran looked at Ji Chen, looked at Wang Luodan, and then looked at the other students, and said with a straight face: "You monkeys, don't train well, what are you doing here?"
Ji Chen said with a smile: "Our group of monkeys asked for leave to come and see you, the monkey king, by the way, take a look at the junior brothers and sisters!"
Zhang Ran also laughed: "I think it's mainly to look at the junior sisters!"
Ji Chen and they laughed, and Chang Jirong and they also laughed.
After laughing, Zhang Ran gave Ji Chen a brief introduction to the students of level 05, and walked to the small theater of Mandarin surrounded by everyone to start the preparations for rehearsal.
The two classes in this competition have not been learning to perform for a long time, their basic skills are not solid enough, and they do not have the ability to perform in the Grand Theater, so the venue for the competition is arranged in the Mandarin Small Theater. The Mandarin Small Theater has 303 seats, lighting facilities, sound systems and other accessories and equipment, and the conditions are no worse than those of the Grand Theater.
After a simple preparation, the performance began, and there was no host, no opening statement, and the performance was carried out directly.
While watching the rehearsals of the students, Zhang Ran explained to Ji Chen his understanding of the play and the role. Ji Chen is in Mandarin, and it is possible to act in this drama in the future, and their understanding may be helpful to them.
Ji Chen, they have confidence in these juniors and sisters, and if Teacher Zhang dares to pull them out, it will definitely not be wrong. But after I really saw them perform, I was still very surprised, this group of junior brothers and sisters really acted decently. Ji Chen sighed with emotion: "These junior brothers and sisters are not simple, they are stronger than when we were freshmen! How can we play "Richard III" when we are freshmen, and we can still act at this level!"
Zhang Ran smiled: "You guys were easier than them when you were freshmen, and their Glotovsky training was seven hours a day, and it was only changed to four hours after they started rehearsing in the last half month!"
Ji Chen and the others were all shocked, and their eyes looked at the junior brothers and sisters on the stage with a little more respect, seven hours a day, it was really a bit unimaginable!
Although this is a new venue, unlike Nortel's small theater, the students did not feel any discomfort, and the whole process went smoothly one scene at a time.
It was almost twelve o'clock when the rehearsal ended. Zhang Ran announced the break, and told everyone that there were senior brothers and sisters to treat them at noon today, and everyone let go of their stomachs to eat and prepare for the evening performance. The actors applauded, saying that they would slaughter the brothers well.
Under the leadership of Ji Chen, the group came out of Mandarin and walked for a few minutes to a Chinese restaurant.
Everyone sat down at three tables and chatted on chairs. Ji Chen and the others sat at a table with Zhang Ran, pulling Zhang Ran to talk non-stop. Tell them about their lives in the past few months, and tell them the jokes they used to make at school. It's been a few months since they graduated, and they all miss school life a little.
After chatting for a while, the same dishes began to be served.
There was also a performance at night, Zhang Ran did not allow everyone to drink, and the cup was full of orange juice. Ji Chen picked up his cup and said, "I wish you all a successful evening performance!"
Everyone toasted: "Cheers!"
After eating, as soon as I walked into the Mandarin theater, a black-faced man in his forties walked up with about 20 students. The black-faced man was stunned when he saw Zhang Ran, and then stretched out his right hand and said enthusiastically: "Teacher Zhang Ran, hello!
Zhang Ran smiled and shook hands with Hong Bin: "Teacher Hong Bin, hello!"
While speaking, Zhang Ran raised his eyes and glanced at the students behind Hong Bin, and saw several familiar faces Chen He, Zheng Kai, Jiang Shuying, Li Jinming, etc., many of whom will become popular in the future with a sitcom called "Love Apartment", and this class will also become a famous star class in the play.
Being able to compete with such a strong opponent is a huge test for the students of Class 05, and it is also a rare tempering! It's like crawling with death, if you don't push them to the extreme, you can't give full play to your potential!
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "The students in Teacher Hong's class are very good in shape and temperament, and they have undergone rigorous training at a glance, I believe it will be a wonderful competition!"
Zhang Ran was observing the colleagues of the students in the opera, and Hong Bin was also observing the students of Nortel. The state and confidence of the students behind Zhang Ran really surprised him. After only practicing for more than a month, how did you get to this level?
Hong Bin thought that there would be no suspense in this match, but now he realizes that it may not be as simple as he imagined, and it will be a vicious battle.
However, the strength of the students in his class is here, and it is impossible for him to lose. Hong Bin smiled and said, "I also believe that this will be a wonderful game." In fact, it doesn't matter if you win or lose this game, the important thing is that there is such a game!"
Zhang Ran agrees with Hong Bin's point of view that there are many problems in China's performance education now, and it is impossible to solve the problem through a simple PK, so that everyone can pay attention to this problem and think about this problem is the meaning: "No matter what the victory or defeat is, at least those who are engaged in performance education are paying attention to this problem, which is a good thing for Chinese performance education!" He stretched out his hand again: "Good luck to you!"
Hong Bin shook Zhang Ran's hand vigorously: "Good luck to you too!"
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ran led the students in his class into the small theater, and the 330 seats were almost full. The afternoon performance and the evening performance were not for takeaway tickets, and the audience present were all professionals, including teachers from Nortel and Chinese opera, as well as actors from Mandarin and Renyi.
The seven judges of this contest were already seated, chatting with their heads down. They are Wang Xiaoying, vice president of the National Theatre, Yang Shaolin, general manager of the Modu Drama Art Center, Xu Xiaozhong, honorary president of the Central Academy of Drama, Pu Cunxin, vice president of Peking Renyi, and famous drama directors Lin Zhaohua, Cao Qijing and Lai Shenchuan.
These seven judges include directors, theorists, and actors, each of whom is well-known and a god-like existence in the drama circle. The entire jury lineup is stronger than the top drama award jury lineup in China, and each of these people is difficult to invite, and it is unbelievable to get them together.
In fact, for the big controversy provoked by Feng Yuanyi, some of the judges present supported and some opposed, but they all had a common point of view, this controversy is a good thing for Chinese theater performance. It's a good thing that academic controversy is a good thing, which shows that everyone is thinking and can push academic research forward.
Since the end of the controversy in the 80s, the domestic theater industry has almost become a backwater, and both drama and performance are old-fashioned and lack new things. They all hope that the controversy caused by Feng Yuanyi and Zhang Ran can stir up this backwater in the Chinese theater industry and let Chinese theater have something new.
Soon it was half past two, the curtain opened, and the small light box in the front area lit up, illuminating the entire stage.
Chen He walked onto the stage in costume and crutches, and said in a sonorous voice: "Now our winter-like feud has turned this York's red sun into a harmonious summer scene, and the clouds of sorrow that have enveloped our royal family have all been buried in the depths of the ocean...... )
