Chapter 491: Richard III
readx;?“ We are going to rehearse "Richard III", in China this play may not be as famous as the four major tragedies, but "Richard III" has surpassed "Hamlet" in the total number of performances in the world, Oliver Lawrence, Al Pacino, Kevin Spacey, countless actors are proud to star in "Richard III", Al Pacino even made a documentary called "Richard III"!"
Zhang Ran paused and said: "Shakespeare's plays are very difficult to perform, and in England, you can't rehearse Shakespeare's plays casually without special training." We are www.biquge.info Chinese, and there is a cultural gap between us and Shakespeare, and it is even more difficult to perform the texture of Shakespeare, so we must do our best. Let me talk about the characters in this play......"
Zhang Ran began to analyze the role, first of all, Charlie, he was obscene, handicapped, in order to reach the pinnacle of power, he spread rumors of rebellion, sent his second brother to the Tower of London, and sent someone to assassinate him; he stabbed his own nephew, regardless of the jealousy of **, forced to marry his nephew-in-law Mrs. An; and finally even killed his brother's two sons, cleared the obstacles, and sat on the throne.
But his reign lasted only two years before he rebelled. On the eve of the fateful war, Richard suddenly realized that no one in the world loved me, that even if I died, no one would come to sympathize with me, and of course, I could not find anything worthy of my own pity, let alone others? It was such a slight condemnation of conscience that preserved a little humanity for Richard III.
After analyzing the role of Richard, Zhang Ran looked at Chang Jirong and said: "The key to the success or failure of the play "Richard III" lies in the role of Richard, as long as the role of Richard is played well, this play will be half successful. ”
Chang Jirong felt the pressure, but he said very firmly: "Teacher Zhang, I won't let you down!"
Zhang Ran is very confident in Chang Jirong, with a solid foundation and a firm mind, if he is not a student in Zhang Ran's class, Zhang Ran may not rank "Richard III", because other students do not meet the requirements. Now Chang Jirong is still quite far from playing the role of Richard, and Zhang Ran must bring him closer to the role: "When my teacher Mary Hill's husband Schmitz was playing "Richard III", a month before the official performance, he insisted on walking on one leg every day and living like a real disabled person. By the time he got to the show, the audience believed that he was disabled because he had a complete grasp of how a person with one leg moved. You know what I mean?"
Chang Jirong nodded firmly: "In the next half month, I will let myself live on one leg on crutches like Richard III!"
Zhang Ran patted Chang Jirong on the shoulder: "Very good!"
At the same time, Yang Fan, who ran back to the girl's dormitory crying, sat on the bed and dialed Li Xiaowan's phone with sobs: "Sister Xiaowan!"
Li Xiaowan knew that Yang Mi had a strong personality and was not the kind of girl who loved to cry, so she asked, "Yang Mi, why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
Yang Fan cried: "I don't want to study in Zhang Ran's class anymore, I want to drop out!"
This is Zhang Ran's class, what others ask for can't come, Yang Fan actually wants to drop out of school? Li Xiaowan asked in surprise: "What's the matter? Why do you suddenly want to drop out?"
Yang Fan cried even more: "Zhang Ran targeted me everywhere, didn't let me train with my classmates, and didn't let me rehearse with my classmates." He always said that the foundation was poor, but Yuan Shanshan and Jiao Junyan were obviously inferior to me, but Zhang Ran didn't let them train alone, he just deliberately targeted me!"
I'm also a little famous now, and if it's in the hands of other teachers, I'll definitely be treated as a baby. But in Zhang Ran's hands, not only was he not treated as a treasure, but he didn't even have at least fair treatment. Yang Fan felt that it was particularly unfair and a little difficult to accept.
Li Xiaowan didn't know Zhang Ran for the first day and knew what kind of person he was. Zhang Ran is very good to students, but he is also very strict with students: "Yang Mi, it's a good thing that Zhang Ran is strict with you, which shows that he values you." If he doesn't value you, then he won't care about you, don't you think so?"
Yang Fan wiped his tears and said: "But he didn't let me train with my classmates, and he didn't let me participate in the performance!"
Li Xiaowan comforted: "I don't know why Zhang Ran trained alone, and I don't know why he didn't let you participate in the show, but I know that he will definitely not harm you, and he must do it for your good." What did you enter Nortel for? Aren't you just for the opportunity to play Zhang Ran's play? He will definitely see your down-to-earth training!"
"He can't see it, I could have played the female number one of CCTV dramas, in his eyes, it is worthless, it is better than Yuan Shanshan and those who have never learned acting!" I don't ask you to treat me as superior, but at least I should treat everyone equally, right?
"You must know about Huang Shengyi's termination, everyone thinks that Huang Shengyi's termination fee was paid by our Rong Xinda, but it was actually paid by Zhang Ran, and even Huang Shengyi didn't know. Zhang Ran is such a person, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, many things are hidden in his heart, since he accepted you as a student, it means that he is optimistic about you, you just do what he says, don't be willful!"
Yang Fan was stunned, is this guy so good?
In the small theater, after Zhang Ran made a simple analysis of the role, he called the actors of the first scene together to start rehearsals. The actors are all students of Zhang Ran's class, they already knew that they would play "Richard III", and they have read the script many times, and they are more familiar with the story and lines, and they act decently.
Zhang Ran is very satisfied with their performance, and being able to act like this shows that they have spent time reading the script after training these days, although the mentality of the characters is not very accurate, and the expressions are not in place, but the overall state and temperament of the characters are right.
After the first scene, Zhang Ran praised several students, and then called the actors of the second scene.
This scene is a scene between Richard and Mrs. Ann, and Richard deceives Mrs. Ann's trust and makes her promise to marry her. However, the actors in this scene are disappointing, especially Lin Xiaolu, who plays Mrs. An, did not perform well, was slightly jerky, and her lines were not very fluent.
Although the main task of the initial rehearsal is to determine the actions of the characters and pull out the action line of the whole scene, and the details of the lines can be picked later, Zhang Ran can't accept this perfunctory attitude: "Lin Xiaolu, what's the matter with you? I've told you a long time ago, we will rehearse "Richard III", it's been so long, you haven't even read the lines, what are you doing? Do you think that if you enter Nortel, your future will be bright? You will definitely be able to become a big star? If you have this mentality, then I'll tell you the truth, it's no show!"
Lin Xiaolu lowered her head slightly, bit her lip tightly, and did not speak. She really didn't read the script of "Richard III" seriously, because there were few female characters in the story, and she was at the bottom of the class, and she felt that she could not get an important role. I didn't pay much attention to this matter, and my energy was spent on basic training.
Zhang Ran knew that Lin Xiaolu was more mature than other girls, and knew how to prioritize, so he didn't need to say too much: "Okay, you go down first, familiarize yourself with the lines, we are in the platoon!" He beckoned to Li Man eagerly: "Let's take the third scene, a few of you come up!"
Li Man and the others walked up with a smile on their faces, and under the guidance of Zhang Ran, they moved and determined the actions of the characters, and at the same time said the lines skillfully. Li Man worked hard to read the script, and the performance was done in one go, and he cooperated skillfully with Chang Jirong who played the opposite role, and his performance gradually improved.
After a performance was completed, Zhang Ran encouraged with applause, Li Man, this girl has aura, and she must work hard and polish it for a few years, she should be able to become an excellent actor.
Rehearsal until twelve o'clock, Zhang Ran announced a break. Today's rehearsal was much easier than the previous days' training, and the students walked to the cafeteria to prepare for lunch first.
Zhang Ran generally felt good about the rehearsal in the morning, he took his two assistant teachers to the third floor of the canteen, ordered two dishes, and ate cleanly.
Back in the office, Zhang Ran drank slowly with a cup, thinking about the rehearsal in his heart.
Yan Shuo pulled up his chair and asked, "Teacher Zhang, I want to ask you a question?"
Zhang Ran glanced at her and said, "Ask!"
Yan Shuo pondered for a moment and asked, "Yang Mi has a lot of problems, Sister Xinyue said, you didn't want her at first, why did you change your mind later?"
Zhang Ran held the cup and said slowly: "Yang Fan does have a lot of problems, and I don't want her mainly because I am afraid of affecting the unity of the class." However, we are teachers after all, and education pays attention to teaching without class, and we can't ignore it because there are many problems in students. And Yang Fan herself also has talent, is the material for eating this bowl of rice, I don't accept her, let other teachers teach, by her temperament nonsense, I'm afraid it's going to be ruined, it's a pity!"
At half past one in the afternoon, Zhang Ran came out of the office and went to the small theater for an afternoon rehearsal. However, before going to the small theater, he took a look in the classroom and saw Yang Fan with a book on his head and practicing walking.
Zhang Ran showed a hint of a smile, Yang Fan has a lot of problems, but it also has advantages. If you get rid of the problem of quick success and quick success, you can become a good actor if you act in a down-to-earth manner, and even as Teacher Zhang Hui said, she has the hope of becoming an artist!
Dropping out of school was just a momentary angry talk, and after listening to Li Xiaowan's comfort, Yang Fan was not so angry. But she is still quite dissatisfied with Zhang Ran, Zhang Donkey, if it falls into the hands of this girl one day, see how I clean you up, I will step on it, like a cockroach, and trample you to death!
Zhang Ran didn't know what Yang Fan was thinking, and when he saw that she was practicing seriously, he turned around and walked towards the small theater.
The students involved in the rehearsal have all arrived, and the rehearsal has begun. Chang Jirong walked on the stage with a limp on crutches in his left hand, and kept reciting Richard III's lines.
Zhang Ran watched for two minutes, carefully observed everyone's movements, and motioned for everyone to stop. He looked at Chang Jirong's feet and said, "The crutches are all found, not bad! Let's play it from scratch, I'll see how it goes!"
Chang Jirong was praised by Zhang Ran, felt a little proud, took a deep breath, and began to perform. His gaze looked ahead, and his eyes gleamed with a sinister light: "Now our winter-like vendetta has turned the red sun of York into a mellow summer scene, and the clouds of sorrow that have enveloped our royal family have been buried in the depths of the ocean." Now we have a victory ...... on our foreheads"
At this moment, Zhang Ran walked over and kicked Chang Jirong on his crutches.
Chang Jirong shook his body, stepped on the floor with his left foot, and looked at Zhang Ran in confusion, not knowing what he had done wrong, which caused Teacher Zhang to kick himself.
In fact, the students looked at Zhang Ran a little nervously, not knowing what mistake Chang Jirong had made.
Zhang Ran looked at Chang Jirong's left foot, frowned, and said, "Chang Jirong, can Richard's disabled legs support his body? You are just imitating, so you can't play the real Richard III!"
Chang Jirong glanced at his feet, then at the crutches in his hands, and suddenly understood where his problem was. (To be continued.) )
