The first station to respond was Jiang Ruoyu, a teacher of Chinese opera. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info China has been learning the things of the Methodist School since the 80s, but it was Jiang Ruoyu who really brought the entire Methodological training system back to China.

Jiang Ruoyu wrote in the article: "Zhang Ran is right, Western performances emphasize the cultivation of personality, which makes you feel that there is no restraint or any restraint. Western performances are relaxed and enter the performance space is large. Although we emphasize the liberation of nature, it has caused another kind of constraint, actors often do not relax on the stage, but have a strong sense of acting and a strong artificial spirit, so some people often say that academic acting is enduring. The current liberated nature in China is a quick success, allowing actors to relax is a long-term process, which should run through the entire acting career, and the liberated nature tries to solve this problem in a short time, similar to the use of doping by athletes, which seems to be effective in a short time, but the sequelae are very serious. In education, we are really too utilitarian!"

Immediately afterwards, Professor Sun Huizhu, who was in the play, stood up, and then, Huang Lei and Xu Jinglei of Nortel stood up and expressed their support for Zhang Ran, and then more acting teachers stood up.

In fact, many teachers who teach acting in China are skeptical about liberating nature, but Feng Yuanyi's blow in this big controversy is too big, and even Stanley is denying it, and they can't support it at all. Zhang Ran did not deny Stanley, but denied the problem of emancipating nature and the utilitarianization of education, and led the problem to education, so these people who disagreed with emancipated nature all stood up.

After they joined, the situation began to turn around, and the two sides of the argument went back and forth, and it was difficult to solve the problem.

The impact of this controversy is spreading day by day, with students at the Academy of Arts talking about it, actors talking about it, and netizens talking about it. Now if you don't talk about Stanley and liberate your nature, you're embarrassed to say hello.

In fact, both sides of the debate now love performance and hope that China's performance career will get better and better. But because of this, it has to be divided into winners and losers, which is a bit of an endless taste.

Zhang Ran did not speak again, but he kept an eye on the controversy.

After filming this day, I was chatting with Chen Daoming in the room at night and talking about it.

Chen Daoming has been acting for more than 20 years, has a deep experience of acting, and has enough right to speak: "I wrote a poem in 92, and one of them is that I can't act well because I have learned too much Stanley. ”

"Teacher Chen can write poems?" Zhang Ran was very surprised, stood up and applauded, "Recite a poem to us, everyone is welcome!"

Ding Sheng and the others all applauded, waiting for Chen Daoming to recite.

Chen Daoming didn't refuse, he stood up and recited: "I can't write poems because I read "Common Sense of Rhymes"; I can't act well because I have learned too much Stanley; I can't eat because I read "Introduction to Nutrition"; I can't sleep because I used counting hypnosis; my girlfriend ran away because I told her ......"

Zhao Fei and the others were all talking about good poems, and they felt that this poem was a bit white.

Zhang Ran smiled and asked, "Teacher Chen, do you know Zhao Lihua?"

Chen Daoming thought for a while and said, "If I don't know, I know Yin Lihua!"

Zhang Ran snickered in his heart, but his face was very serious: "A female poet, your poems have her style." ”

When Chen Daoming heard that his poems were similar to the style of the female poet, he immediately became interested: "Oh, what poems has she written?

"She has a song "Fool Lantern - I Resolutely Can't Tolerate" is particularly interesting, I'll recite it!" Zhang Ran cleared his throat and recited with emotion, "I resolutely can't tolerate / those / in the bathroom / in public places / after defecating / do not flush / urinals/." ”

When Zhang Ran finished reading, Ding Sheng and they all sprayed, this one is whiter than Mr. Chen's! Is this a poem?

Chen Daoming pointed at Zhang Ran and scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy is hurting me!"

Zhang Ran smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, I think this poem is very good." It describes the poet's situation in the public bathroom, anxious to find a clean urinal, but found that none of them were clean. What a vivid situation this is, expressing anxious but helpless feelings, and the poet's grief and indignation are simply powerful through the back of the paper. You have to put yourself in the situation, you have to experience it, it's so flavorful!"

Everyone burst into laughter, writing about the toilet, or the urinal that was not flushed, can it be tasteless?

Chen Daoming shook his head while laughing, this kid is too angry, but it's a pity that he is a civilized person, otherwise he would have to beat him.

After everyone laughed, Zhang Ran looked at Chen Daoming and said seriously: "I can't act well because I have learned too much Stanley." Teacher Feng Yuanyi also said something similar, we took Western things and stuffed them into the Stanley system, and the result was a lot of meaningless training. I've been thinking about this recently, the training of the seven forces and four senses can be simplified, except for imagination, everything else can be weakened, and the most important thing for performance is movement, and kung fu should be spent on this. In addition, I think it is very important to control the scale of your performance in different situations!"

Chen Daoming nodded and said: "Control is very important, my creative habit is like this, the director can shoot infinitely, in the same plot and position, I will give him different proportional performances." I call it big, medium, small. Anyway, I will play you in several states, and you can choose whichever one you think is suitable. ”

Zhang Ran particularly appreciates Chen Daoming's point, a scene is filmed thirty times, and he can not be the same thirty times: "Yes, you can switch freely, but not the students in our class, it takes a long time for them to switch to another state, it doesn't matter if our play is a comedy, if it is a literary film, it is very difficult for them to act now." That's the problem of control. Now acting education must change, acting students may act in movies, TV dramas, or dramas after graduation, and the students should have the ability to switch freely between these three performance states!"

Chen Daoming patted Zhang Ran's shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation: "Having a young man like you is a blessing for the entire performance in China!"

On May 25th, the Journal of Chinese Opera published an article by Professor Zhang Renli "Liberation of Nature and Analysis from Self-Perspective", he talked in detail at the beginning of the article about how the liberation of nature came about, in the early 80s, Zhou Caiqin brought a set of training methods for actors to groom every day for Chinese opera, and in 84 Chinese opera held a short course for teachers to act, Isabella of the British Royal Theatre taught lines, Kenneth Lee taught performance, and they brought a lot of new methods, these training methods are collectively known as liberation of nature training.

Next, Zhang Renli talked about some phenomena he saw when he was teaching in other places, a teacher found that boys and girls did not dare to touch each other when doing the practice of touching the elephant for the blind, thinking that the students' nature was not liberated. He also heard that some teachers asked boys to pee on girls, and some asked girls to do a lot of very private movements, so as to liberate their nature.

Zhang Renli believes that this is the biggest misunderstanding of Stanley: "Stanley has tried to liberate his nature, but he forced the actors to liberate their nature during the rehearsal of "The Drama of Life", which brought very serious consequences, and forced liberation of nature scared away feelings and caused mechanical stereotyped performances, and mechanical stereotyped performances are what Stanley is most opposed.

Of course, it's not that if Stanley didn't do it, we can't do it. Many students who have just learned acting really can't let go and will be shy. It is necessary to liberate everyone from this complex psychology through training. I am not against such training, but against the idea of liberating nature, which is too misleading. I don't mention liberating nature in performance teaching, but call it warm-up training, which does not affect the teaching training......"

Zhang Renli served as the director of the Department of Chinese Opera Performance, was the teacher of Jiang Wen and Lu Liping, and was a respected old professor. In this article, he not only clarified the source of emancipatory nature, but also theoretically refuted emancipatory nature and ripped off the fig leaf of the idea of emancipating nature.

After Zhang Ran saw Zhang Renli's article, he smiled, the big thing is decided!

Sure enough, after Zhang Renli's article was published, the entire public opinion began to turn. "Drama Newspaper", "Drama House", "Art Education", and the journals of various art universities have appeared in articles criticizing the liberation of nature and reflecting on the whole education, and even Mr. Cui Xinqin has published an article in Nortel's journal "Nature cannot be liberated, ability can be cultivated".

However, the real fatal blow to the liberating nature was Mr. Zheng Shelley, an expert in Stanley studies, who translated the "Complete Works of Stanley" in China in the 50s. In an interview with Tang Jia of Beijing Entertainment Daily, the old man explained: "The word nature can be translated into nature in Russian. Stanley's argument refers to the fact that the actor can play normally in the process of stage performance through conscious creative work, so as to achieve the same natural creative state and process as the creative system on the stage and life, which is different from the liberating nature spoken of in China. ”

At the end of the interview, the old man said with relief: "We have read too wrong about Stanley, and the wrong concept of liberating nature has been popular for twenty years, and it is time to get to the root of it." ”

Of course, there are still many people who insist that it is correct to emancipate nature, and publish articles to defend them: "Didn't Stanley say that if we want to emancipate our nature, we can't do it? If foreign countries don't do it, can't China do it? We have been emancipating our nature for 20 years, and how many outstanding actors have we trained? Why is it wrong? Whether a training method is good or not depends on whether it is effective." Practice has proved that the emancipation of nature is effective!"

Feng Yuanyi quickly retorted: "What kind of students do you teach? Look at what Zhang Ran's students look like? Zhang Ran teaches the Stella training method and the Grotowski training method, I don't know the Stella training method, but I also learned Grotowski in Germany, it is very advanced, so to speak, the one-year course of the first year of the acting department is not as good as our one-month course. ”

When these people saw Feng Yuan's stunned response, they felt that they had grasped the handle, they were so ashamed of their words, they were so ignorant that they didn't understand education at all. Bai Fanping even claimed that if Zhang Ran taught a month's course, he could surpass them for a year, and he would climb around Beiping City three times.

Feng Yuan calmly called Zhang Ran: "Senior brother, it's time for you to get out!"

Zhang Ran was very speechless: "Why let me go out, and when will I become your junior brother?"

Feng Yuan smiled and said: "We are the same family, if we don't call you junior brother, do we call you junior nephew?" I have no teaching experience, it may be a little difficult for a month, but it should be no problem for you to teach." There is a big problem with acting education in China right now, you should stand up and wake them up and let them see what really advanced training looks like!"

Zhang Ran felt that this matter was a bit difficult, but if it was his next ten students, it should be okay. In the previous life, Feng Yuanyi gave an acting class to Nortel's photography department, and he was able to let students who had never studied acting play "Hamlet" in 18 days, which shocked the teachers of the acting department. Feng Yuanyi was still a teacher for the first time, and he had no reason to be inferior to him, so he immediately nodded: "Okay, I'll give them a hammer!" (To be continued.) )
