In order to avoid mental pain, nervousness, anxiety, embarrassment, guilt and other psychology, human beings will consciously or unintentionally make various psychological adjustments. Zhang Ran patiently explained, "In fact, many actors will be like this when they first start acting, they will close their hearts, afraid of exposing the dark places in their hearts to others, and let people discover their vulnerability."www.biquge.info It's the same as you, and in the face of this situation, you have to tear down the walls of your heart piece by piece. ”

In a way, Norah Jones now has similar problems to Jay Chou. However, Jay Chou lacks explosiveness, so he must be stimulated, provoked, and let his inner strength burst out. Norah Jones is delicate and emotional, and even more so if the same crude method is employed.

"How do you demolish it?" asked Norah Jones, puzzled.

"Actually, it's very simple, cry in public!" Zhang Ran smiled, he saw Norah Jones's face full of suspicion, and explained, "Tearing down the wall in the heart is to expose the inner vulnerability, and the inner vulnerability is often very broken, and the grievance and anger will turn into tears and pour out." At this point, your whole body relaxes, and you can't maintain that wall anymore. At this time, the whole person is the most relaxed, and you will not deliberately keep anything, nor will you deliberately care about anything, and your heart will be completely open. ”

Norah Jones was a little hesitant, she was not particularly familiar with Zhang Ran, and she cried in front of him, feeling a little resistant. But after thinking about it, isn't this exactly the same as what Zhang Ran said! She nodded, and began to think about sad things, trying to bring her emotions by recalling sad things, so as to cry.

However, her personality is strong, her tears are relatively high, and she can't get out of her emotions after brewing for a long time, and she says with a sad face: "I can't cry!"

Zhang Ran knew that it was indeed difficult to make Norah Jones cry in front of an outsider like her. But he can't avoid it, crying secretly behind his back can't tear down the inner wall. He looked at her firmly and said, "It's better for me to guide you and bring you into a specific situation!"

"Director, let's get started!" said Norah Jones, eager to put on a show right away.

"Well, you close your eyes and relax. Now you imagine yourself lying quietly on the beach by the sea, with no other people around, in the blue sky, floating white clouds, in front of you is the blue sea, on the shore are tall coconut trees, under your body is soft sand, the sun gently shines on you, you feel extremely comfortable......"

As Zhang Ran spoke, he carefully observed Norah Jones' reaction and looked at the expression on her face. After making sure Norah Jones was completely relaxed, he opened his laptop, opened the music library, and clicked on the erhu performance of "River Water".

This piece is a real tear jerker, it is definitely sad for the listener and tearful for the listener. In 77, Seiji Ozawa visited the Modu Symphony Orchestra, and the huqin master Min Huifen performed this song, which made Seiji Ozawa cry on the spot. At the end of the performance, Seiji Ozawa said excitedly that this song brought out the sorrow of the world and made people feel painful.

With the poignant erhu sound, Norah Jones's body trembled slightly, she had never listened to such music, she was really crying.

At the same time, Zhang Ran said in a tone full of pity: "Nora, you love your mother very much, she is your most important relative, and she is also the best person in this world for you. Now you're in your apartment in New York, and you open the door and find your mom lying on the floor. There was not a trace of blood on his face, and even his lips were pale......"

"River Water" is really sad, just listening to the tune, Norah Jones is very sad, and now there is the scene where Zhang Ran guides her to think about her mother's departure, where can she bear it, tears come out of the frame, and her body trembles uncontrollably.

Zhang Ran saw Norah Jones crying, showed a shallow smile, and said in a seductive tone: "Nora, you will never see her again, and you will never hear her voice again." I can never hear her say to you anymore, Nora, it's okay, you're the best. You can no longer hear the voice that reassures you, and you can only remember everything. Nora, the one who loved you the most is gone forever, and no matter how much you miss him, she will never come back......"

This bleak discourse, paired with the poignant "River Water", Norah Jones completely collapsed, only to feel sadness from the heart, tears like rain, it was difficult to suppress the sadness in her heart, lying on the sofa and crying.

Zhang Ran's heart is relatively hard, and tears in front of him have never had much effect. But at this time, in the enclosed space of the RV, Norah Jones's heart-rending cry, coupled with the poignant erhu sound of "River Water", made him a little uncomfortable to hear.

At that moment, there was a sudden banging on the door, followed by a shout from Norah Jones' assistant: "Nora, what's wrong with you?

When Zhang Ran came out of the studio with Norah Jones, the assistant also came out. However, the assistant did not follow into the RV, there were only Zhang Ran and Norah Jones in the entire RV, and now she suddenly heard Norah Jones crying, she couldn't help but think about it, and even began to make up the picture of Zhang Ran tearing Norah Jones's skirt.

"I'm fine, I'm practicing crying!" Norah Jones shouted in the midst of her cries.

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she was practicing crying, but her heart quickly lifted again, in case she threatened Nora with a knife or a gun. She shouted, "I'm just outside, what are you calling me!"

Norah Jones hummed, curled up, hugged her calves, and cried with her forehead on her knees.

After Norah Jones cried for about five minutes, Zhang Ran turned off "River Water". Without the tear-jerking of "River Water", Norah Jones's crying gradually subsided, and finally slowly subsided.

Zhang Ran smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

"I feel a lot more comfortable and feel very relaxed. Norah Jones wiped her eyes and said embarrassedly, "What kind of music is this? It's so sad, it's the saddest music I've ever heard in my life." ”

It's called "River Water", which tells the story of a loving couple a long time ago, the husband was arrested by the government to serve hard labor, and unfortunately died in a foreign land. When the wife heard the news and came to the river to bid farewell to her husband, she couldn't help crying bitterly in the face of the river remembering the loving past of her husband and wife, and she was extremely sad and indignant. Zhang Ran explained with a smile, and then returned to the topic, "People have painful emotions in their hearts, and if they vent and confide, they will feel better. In fact, it is very beneficial for a star like you to learn some acting and participate in some performances. You are usually very stressed, and you have a lot of negative emotions in your heart, and when these emotions accumulate to a certain extent, they will cause damage to yourself. And acting can release these negative emotions, which is very good for the body and mind. Experiments have been conducted in prisons in the United States on several occasions to prove that targeted and frequent theatrical performances can effectively reduce the chances of recidivism after being released from prison. ”

Norah Jones nodded, she had heard of using theatrical performance for psychotherapy, but she didn't have time to learn before: "Thank you director, I will definitely act more in the future." ”

Zhang Ran took a sip of coffee and reminded: "You drink some coffee, take a break, and when your emotions are completely calmed down, we will move on to the next step to find the psychological state of the characters." ”

"Hmm!"

The two of them sat like this, neither speak, quietly drinking coffee.

After about ten minutes, Norah Jones completely came out of her sad mood, looked at Zhang Ran, and said with a firm expression: "Director, I'm ready!"

Zhang Ran clasped his hands together: "Now close your eyes, relax yourself, and relax completely." In fact, when we were children, we all had the experience of secretly liking others, and you must have too. Now let's go back to middle school, and you're standing in the hallway of the school building, and you look up and see that boy you've been secretly liking is coming this way. You look at him secretly, but you don't want to collide with his gaze, you feel like you're going to die, your heart is racing, and your face is hot......"

As Zhang Ran said, everyone has experiences, and Norah Jones is no exception. Under Zhang Ran's guidance, she evoked the memories in her heart, returned to her teenage years, and met the teenager she was once fascinated by. Her breathing was messy, and the flush on her cheeks was as delicate as the petals.

Zhang Ran chuckled at the blush on Norah Jones' face, and slapped his hands hard: "Now the scene changes, now you go to the bar to sing." There were a lot of people in the bar, and they were all drinking and laughing. Now you're on the stage of the bar, there's a microphone in the center of the stage, and you take the microphone and start singing. You feel everyone's eyes on you......"

Norah Jones' assistant kept walking around outside the RV, nervous and worried, and occasionally pricked up his ears to listen. This time she was just about to put her ear to the door, when the door suddenly opened, and Norah Jones and Zhang Ran walked out. The assistant immediately asked, "Nora, are you alright?"

Norah Jones had a big smile on her face: "I'm fine!"

Half an hour later, the actors were in place, and there were quite a few people sitting in the café. These people are all staff members of the crew, who were temporarily arrested as guest guests.

Zhao Fei carried the camera to Norah Jones, and Zhang Ran sat behind the monitor with his hands crossed.

Norah Jones took the microphone, stared down at her feet, and began to sing, "I like the way you love somebody else, and I want you to love me like that." I want to wake up next to you, you hug her gentle look, her high heels kicking in her beautiful skirt. Your eyes speak for themselves, there's no doubt about it......"

Norah Jones played quite well in this scene, she lowered her head slightly, her face showed a faint flush, her hands held the microphone tightly, she held it very hard, and the joints of her fingers were slightly white, which fully showed her nervousness.

The shining star Norah Jones is gone, and in front of everyone is the shy and nervous girl Nora. Even her singing voice has changed, removing the ripe flavor and becoming clearer.

As soon as the song was sung, the guests of the café applauded. Zhang Ran stood up, shouted "stop", and then applauded vigorously with everyone.

The staff at the scene also applauded, and the whole scene was cheering. The Chinese members of the crew are better, and the foreign members are extremely shocked, Norah Jones couldn't act before, but I didn't expect to go out with Zhang Ran to talk for a while, and it was incredible that they could act to this extent.

In fact, it was not Norah Jones who perfectly interpreted the role of Nora, but under the guidance of Zhang Ran, he unearthed his own memories, regained the feeling of being eighteen or even sixteen years old, and then presented this state. Everyone has the potential to become a good actor, and the key is to discover it.

"Nora, your progress is amazing. The actor Ewan McGregor walked over, he played a deaf man in the play, and when he wasn't acting, he spoke desperately, "This part is really good, it's so natural!"

Norah Jones glanced at Zhang Ran and smiled embarrassedly: "It's all up to the director's guidance!" (To be continued.) )
