Chapter 146: Tone of Character
Zhang Ran looked at a pair of hopeful eyes staring at him, and said with a smile: "Personalization is the creation of the character of the actor in person, and on the basis of an in-depth understanding of the depth of thought and personality characteristics of the characters in the script, a real living person is created, so that the audience can see and hear how the characters act, speak, and feel." Many good actors, such as Li Xuejian, Leung Jiahui, etc., often create characters with unique personalities, and there is no drawback, this is personality, and they are often called character actors. Of course, there are also many actors who play the same character, with a single personality, and the whole performance is relatively patterned, which is often referred to as a true actor. Characterization is the first thing to grasp the character's inner personality and temperament, and at the same time, it is necessary to grasp the external typical actions that can best reflect the character's personality characteristics and highlight them. ”
After saying these words, Zhang Ran felt a little emotion in his heart, he knew that the film and television industry would develop faster and faster in the next ten years, and actors would become busier and busier. Some people will take on three or four TV series, two or three movies a year, plus advertisements and other commercial activities, often do not have enough time and energy to analyze the script and characters, and the performance will become more and more patterned.
For example, when Huang Xiaoming is vigilant, he often frowns slightly and his eyes widen; when he is proud, his head is slightly tilted to the left, his eyebrows are raised, revealing a smile and shallow dimples, and his neck is stretched and tightened; when he is happy, he is raising the corners of his eyes, opening his mouth wide, and smiling out two rows of big white teeth, as if to say, do you see, I am handsome, and laugh out two neat rows of big white teeth. In short, his acting often gives people the same feeling, and they are all the same.
This is determined by the times, many actors are like Huang Xiaoming, they don't need too high acting skills, they just need to be popular. can be recognized by the market; but the cost of improving acting skills is too high, it takes a lot of time, and the income in exchange is uncertain, who dares to guarantee that they can be recognized if they devote themselves to practicing their acting skills? Hao Lei, Yan Bingyan, these actors with excellent acting skills are not popular at all. So for them, they should play more to maintain exposure and popularity. Increasing box office appeal is the most important thing.
These things are not something that Zhang Ran can change, but the pair of eyes in front of him make him full of hope for the future: "I'll give you an example, everyone knows Mr. Feng Yuanyi, and many people have seen his "Don't Talk to Strangers", and he has performed very well. A few days ago, when we were filming "The Burst Drummer", the waiter at the hotel saw him hiding, and then whispered, 'Look, look, that's the bad guy who beats his wife'. Listen to Mr. Feng Yuanyi. He was also beaten because of this role. In fact, Mr. Feng Yuanyi is a gentle and kind person, and he has a very harmonious relationship with his wife, and he is 108,000 miles away from An Jiahe. So how did he create this character? First of all, we must analyze the character of An Jiahe, what are the characteristics of An Jiahe's character?"
Jia Niliang preemptively said: "It's complicated!"
Zhang Ranyi frowned: "What do you mean by being very complicated, be specific!"
Jia Nanliang hurriedly said: "Selfish, brutal!"
Other students added, "Suspicious!"
"Calm down!"
"Extreme!"
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "That's right, these are all part of An Jiahe's character, and his personality is quite complicated. In fact, each of us has many facets to our personality. But there will be more prominent basic characteristics. Characterization, when we analyze the various personalities of the characters. It is necessary to grasp the most prominent characteristics of the character, and set a tone like a musical work, which is called the tone of the character. The personalities of An Jia and this character are now listed, if we play An Jiahe, then we have to choose one of the characters as the core and set a tone for the character. ”
Then. Huang Shengyi raised his head, looked at Zhang Ran, and asked with a little puzzlement: "Teacher Zhang, will this become a very single personality?"
Zhang Ran nodded with satisfaction, able to ask this question. Explain that she is thinking: "The tone is the core. However, the core is not all the personality of the character, and other aspects of the character can be revealed layer by layer through different prescribed situations. Take An Jiahe as an example, Mr. Feng Yuanyi took suspicion as the character's character tone, but at the same time, he showed other aspects of the character's character through different details, such as An Jiahe couldn't help hugging her after beating Mei Xiangnan. ”
The students are all nodding, this is indeed the case, otherwise everyone will not say that An Jiahe has a complicated personality, but will say in unison that he is suspicious.
Seeing that the students understood, Zhang Ran continued: "Let's look at the role of Su Yi again. Zhang Xinyi, what kind of character does Su Yi have?"
Zhang Xinyi studied more seriously, worked the desk work, and seriously analyzed the character of the character. Although she didn't act well this time, she still knew Su Yi's character better: "Su Yi has a gloomy, melancholy, cold, and cruel side, and at the same time has a passionate, frank, strong, and rebellious character." ”
Zhang Ran nodded and said: "We all studied "Thunderstorm" in high school, and we know that Su Yi is most praised for her spirit of resistance, so when creating the character of Su Yi, you can take resistance as the tone of her character. Take the scene you played just now, if you set the tone of Su Yi's character as resistance, since it is resistance, you have to show confrontation, and his emotions in this scene will be more intense. If you set the tone of your character as plaintive, then the scene will be more mournful. ”
Zhang Xinyi thought for a moment, then nodded slowly.
Zhang Ran asked, "Zhang Xinyi, what is the highest task and series of actions for the role of Su Yi?"
Zhang Xinyi said: "The highest task is to keep Zhou Ping, and the whole series of actions is to pursue his own happiness, break through all shackles, and constantly resist and struggle." ”
This answer is correct, Su Yi's task from beginning to end is to keep Zhou Ping. Her series of actions, asking Lu Shiping to take Si Feng'er away, and resisting the master more strongly, all revolved around this task.
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Very good, remember your tasks, remember the chain of actions, and remember the tone of the character." Give you five minutes to prepare, and then I'll play you and we'll do it all over again. The rest of you think about the tone of your character, and it's up to you in a moment!"
Wang Siwei didn't even analyze the subtext of the characters, and this thing couldn't be analyzed for five minutes, and acting with Zhang Xinyi would not have any effect, so Zhang Ran decided to play Zhang Xinyi in person.
Five minutes later, Zhang Xinyi returned to the stage. Zhang Ran played for him.
Zhang Ran's eyes flashed, there was a short thought, and then he said coldly: "The person I am most sorry for naturally has it, but I don't have to tell you." ”
Zhang Xinyi sneered and said in a low voice, "That's not her!" and then she stepped forward. stared at Zhang Ran's eyes, covered his chest, and said angrily: "What you are most sorry for is me, the stepmother you once seduced!"
Zhang Ran was a little afraid of her, took a step back, and at the same time swept his eyes left and right, looking very nervous, as if he was afraid that people would hear: "You are crazy." ”
Zhang Xinyi saw Zhang retreat and forced him over: "You owe me a debt." You are responsible to me, you can't see the new world and run alone. ”
Zhang Ran stepped back step by step, and Zhang Xinyi pressed forward step by step. After Zhang Xinyi finished speaking, Zhang Ran stepped aside, closed the door, and then walked up to Zhang Xinyi, and said in a low voice: "I think the words you use are simply terrible. This kind of words are not spoken in a decent family like a father. ”
"Father. You leave your father alone!"Zhang Xinyi laughed angrily, "You also say decent?"
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xinyi revealed Zhou Ping's life experience. mentioned what Zhou Ping had said at the beginning, and even began to ask him directly.
Zhang Ran set the tone of Zhou Ping's character as selfish, and at the same time he grasped the highest task of Zhou Ping leaving the family, so no matter what the other party said, he was unmoved and his attitude was very decisive.
"It's okay for you to call me cynical now. Irresponsible or not, I tell you, I hope this conversation will be our last. After Zhang Ran said this, he bowed to Zhang Xinyi and walked towards the door.
Zhang Xinyi said in a heavy tone: "Stop!"
Zhang Ran stopped. But he didn't look back, looking at Zhang Xinyi with his spare eyes, waiting for her to speak.
"I hope you understand what I just said, I'm not asking you. I want you to use your heart to think about what we used to say in this room. Speaking of this, Zhang Xinyi's eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked, "Many, many." A woman, you remember, can't be bullied by two generations, you can think about it. ”
Zhang Ran breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said unmoved: "I have thought about it very thoroughly, my own pain these days, I don't think you don't know, so please let me go." After speaking, Zhang Ran bowed, opened the door, and walked off the stage resolutely.
Zhang Xinyi looked at Zhang Ran's back, tears flowed down her cheeks one by one, she walked to the mirror platform, looked at her pale face, and threw herself on the mirror platform and cried.
This is the end of the show.
Everyone present applauded, applauding and praising at the same time, Zhang Xinyi's performance this time has really changed dramatically, and the performance is very good. Of course, Zhang Ran acted better, and he was simply possessed by Zhou Ping who was like a script.
Zhang Xinyi wiped her tears, stood up and bowed to everyone, and then ran off the field with a smile amid applause. She was very happy with her performance this time. Of course, she also knew that she was able to play so well this time, and Zhang Ran played a big role.
When she acted with Wang Siwei, she couldn't feel each other's emotions at all, and there was no communication between the two. When acting with Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran can convey her emotions, and she can feel Zhang Ran's indifference and selfishness, which drives her emotions well.
Zhang Ran took a long breath and nodded. This time, the general direction was grasped, and the performance was very good. Of course, there are still many problems in the small details, which need to be gradually revised in the future rehearsals.
I believe that after a week, when they actually perform on stage, the effect will be the best.
Zhang Ran walked to the middle of the stage, clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Zhang Xinyi has performed much better this time, but it is far from enough, because her personality is only half completed." Human personality includes two parts, internal personality and external personality, only after the completion of the internal and external parts of the personality, can the real completion of the personality! Analyzing the character and setting the tone for the character is the internal personality, and we will talk about the external personality below!" (To be continued......)
