Chapter Eighty-Four: Lack of Life
After listening to Liu Yifei's entire speech, Zhang Ran further determined Liu Yifei's problem. However, he still didn't dare to draw conclusions, so he asked her about her living habits, preferences and other questions.
After a series of questions, Zhang Ran knew that his judgment was correct, Liu Yifei's problem was very fatal, but it was not difficult to solve, but he couldn't solve the problem: "Yifei, you go back to the room and practice what I just taught you, to imagine some scenes, to concretize the scenes, I have something to talk to your mother!"
"Okay, teacher, don't go, can you continue to teach me for a while?" Liu Yifei stood up, looked at Zhang Ran and said. She always thought that learning acting was like practicing dance, that is, she kept practicing, but she didn't expect it to be all about playing games, which she thought was very interesting.
"Okay, you go practice first!" Zhang Ran smiled and nodded.
After Liu Yifei left, Liu Xiaoli asked, "Teacher Zhang, is there any problem?"
Zhang Ran looked at Liu Xiaoli and said very seriously: "Ms. Liu, I want to ask you a question, do you want your daughter to become a big star or a big actor?"
"Does it make a difference?"
"It's what we usually call idols and powerful factions, big stars are like Zhao Wei and Lu Yi, and big actors are Gong Li and Maggie Cheung, of course, these two are not absolute, and many idol actors can eventually transform into powerful factions after training. ”
"Is there any difference in training?"
"To be honest, your daughter's appearance conditions are quite good, as long as she encounters a suitable script, she will definitely be popular, but there is a very big flaw in your daughter, this flaw makes her unable to become a big actor like Gong Li, if you want her to develop in this direction, you must let her change!"
"What flaw?"
"Lack of life!"
"I don't understand what you mean!"
"I'll give you an example, there is a singer who has never studied acting, but he acted very well in a movie called "Get in the Car, Let's Go", and the movie also won the Golden Rooster Awards, but this person played a policeman in another TV series called "Black Hole", but his performance was a big disappointment. Why? Because the characters in "Get in the Car, Let's Go" are similar to his own experience, and he can act according to his own experience, and the effect is very good, while he does not have the relevant experience of the police, he can't play the corresponding effect. Actors must explore themselves to create characters, looking for similar experiences or emotions. Your daughter is a flower growing up in a greenhouse, the experience is too simple, and there are too few things to discover. It is not a big problem to let her play the role of a simple rich daughter, and let her play a role like Wang Yuyan, but she can't play "Red Sorghum", she can't play "Sweet Honey", and even many ordinary roles she can't play. For actors, this problem is very fatal!"
Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Liu Xiaoli was a little anxious: "Then what should I do?"
Zhang Ran said solemnly: "Let her have more contact with society, it is best to be able to enter life, for example, you can let her go to the supermarket to be a shopping guide or something during the holidays, let her go to life, let her have more contact with people and society." Acting can't be taught, it's up to the actors themselves to experience it!"
Liu Xiaoli didn't want her daughter to do a shopping guide, it was too hard, she shook her head and said: "Shopping guide, how can it be done, is there a way to be less hard?"
Zhang Ran expected this to be the result, or said: "I'm just giving an example, I don't necessarily want to be a shopping guide, usually take her out and walk around, to crowded places, stations, shopping malls, etc., let her observe more, in short, let her into life, more contact with society, and know more people." ”
"I see what you mean, so she can be admitted to film school in her current state, right?"
"Nortel values the potential of students and does not require candidates to have superb skills. In fact, compared to the students who came out of the training class, the teachers in the school prefer blank sheets of paper without much experience. ”
"That's good!"
"Please call her down so I can put her on some simple tests and training. ”
Liu Xiaoli stood up, came to Liu Yifei's room, knocked on the door, and called Liu Yifei down.
Liu Yifei is the same as other Xiaohuadan, in addition to her performance is not good enough, her lines are not small. The problem with Liu Yifei's lines is that his breath is weak and he can't use his chest to make sounds. Since Zhang Ran wants to teach her to act, the problem of lines must also be corrected.
Zhang Ran originally planned to practice in the living room, but Liu Xiaoli told him that there was a dance room at home and that he could go to the dance room to practice, which was naturally the best.
Come to the dance room and stand still.
Zhang Ran looked at Liu Yifei and said, "Let's do a flower smelling exercise, and I'll see how your breath is." ”
Liu Yifei asked curiously, "What is the practice of smelling flowers?"
"Actually, it's a deep breath, imagine a flower in front of you when you inhale, inhale hard to feel the fragrance of the flower, and then slowly exhale the breath. ”
Liu Yifei immediately expanded his imagination according to Zhang Ran's request, inhaling and exhaling.
After practicing twice, Zhang Ran said: "This time, after you inhale and breathe in, start counting, I see how long your breath is!"
Liu Yifei took a deep breath, and then began to count: "One, two, three, four......"
When Liu Yifei ran out in one go, Zhang Ran found that she had been speaking for forty seconds in a row. For such a long time, the basic skills of deep breath are relatively deep, at least qualified.
Zhang Ran realized that Liu Yifei was not lacking in breath, but that there was a problem with the application of breath. This involves muscles, if Liu Yifei slowly explores it by herself, it is estimated that it will take a year and a half, Zhang Ran feels that it is better to check it herself and tell her directly what the problem is.
It's just that you have to reach out and touch it, if Liu Xiaoli sees Zhang Ran pressing her hands on her daughter's abdomen, she will inevitably want to be crooked, which is definitely not good, so Zhang Ran plans to bring Li Xinyue in class next time and ask her to help check it.
……
At nine o'clock, Zhang Ran and Li Xinyue came to Liu Yifei's house, ready to train their lines.
Liu Yifei was very happy to see Li Xinyue, she didn't have any friends when she first arrived in Beiping, and the young people knew Zhang Ran, but Zhang Ran was a boy, and he looked very serious. Now that Li Xinyue is here, she is very happy and pulls Li Xinyue to chat.
Zhang Ran saw that the two of them were going to talk for a long time, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, okay, start training!" Xinyue, teach her joint breathing first!"
Li Xinyue nodded with a smile and gently patted Liu Yifei's shoulder: "Qianqian, lie on the ground, I'll teach you how to do chest and abdomen breathing!"
Li Xinyue gave Liu Yifei a detailed description of what combined breathing is and how to operate it, and then asked Liu Yifei to try to breathe with the method of combined breathing, while Li Xinyue pressed her hands on her abdomen and chest to feel her breathing.
After practicing a few times, Liu Yifei mastered the trick. Li Xinyue said happily: "Qianqian, you are so smart, you have mastered the chest and abdomen combined breathing method, you usually have to practice more!"
Liu Yifei was also very happy: "Well, Sister Xinyue!"
Zhang Ran asked, "Xinyue, where is her problem?"
Li Xinyue muttered: "She has practiced dancing since she was a child, and her breath is very deep, but the strength of the two ribs is not strong enough, I suggest using the dog panting method to practice, this method can make the two ribs fully elastic and increase the strength of the muscles." ”
The way for dogs to pant is to breathe like a dog, mainly to exercise the diaphragm, and of course to target the thoracic rib muscles.
Zhang Ran nodded, it seems that Liu Yifei's morning exercise requires breathing training for both ribs in addition to joint breathing. As for whether practicing too hard will make Liu Yifei develop his chest muscles, it will definitely not.
Li Xinyue briefly talked about the dog's panting and breathing, and Liu Yifei was like a puppy, breathing heavily.
After practicing breathing for a few minutes, Li Xinyue asked Liu Yifei to stand upright, let her straighten her torso, open her feet, shoulder-width apart, stand naturally, her eyes were level, her shoulders were relaxed, and then told her how to make a sound.
Generally, when an actor practices his lines, he mainly practices the three links of breathing, vocalization, and pronunciation; if the breath is weak and does not last, if the voice is small, it cannot be transmitted far, and the audience cannot understand the pronunciation of the words and pronunciation.
Actors with good lines generally have obvious resonance cavities, clear and standard articulation, natural science of modulation and frustration, backward pronunciation, natural ventilation, and accurate sentence breaking;
After Li Xinyue finished speaking, Liu Yifei began to practice speaking: "Hey, ha! hey, ha!"
Li Xinyue's hand pressed on Liu Yifei's abdomen, and while feeling her breath, she corrected: "Qianqian, don't shout with your voice, don't use too hard, you only need seventy percent of your strength, so that you won't hurt your throat, pay attention to the shape of your mouth, and pay attention to the route of your voice!"
"Got it, Sister Xinyue!" Liu Yifei nodded, and said crisply, "Hey, ha! hey, ha......"
After practicing for a few minutes, Li Xinyue began to teach the four-tone vocal practice, which is the basis of line training, and basically those who hang their voices in the park will pronounce these four sounds.
"When we normal people speak Chinese, there are four basic vocal methods. Li Xinyue stood opposite Liu Yifei and said: "First of all, the sound of 'yes', when the voice is spoken, the root of the tongue is retracted back, and it is gently pressed against the lower teeth, and yes-yes-"
After teaching 'yes', he taught "yes", "hey", and "ho"; after repeated demonstrations two or three times, Liu Yifei had already mastered it. It's not that difficult, it just takes years of consistent practice.
Chinese the pronunciation of Chinese characters is ever-changing, all from these four pronunciations, just as the three primary colors in art can be used to match all the colorful colors in the world, the combination of these four pronunciations can synthesize a variety of Chinese pronunciations.
After Liu Yifei practiced a few times, Li Xinyue asked Liu Yifei to add changes when she spoke, first the normal "yes, yes, hey, ho", then the short "yes, yes, hey, ho", and then the elongated tone of "yes, yes, hey, ho".
Zhang Ran sat on the ground leisurely, looking at Liu Yifei who was concentrating on practicing, thinking that she didn't know how long she could last, if she could persist in practicing for four or five years, then she would definitely not be criticized by the audience for her bad lines!
