Today is Zhang Ran's first lesson in the strict sense since he took office.

Zhang Ran was very relaxed, he didn't take it seriously at all, standing in the middle of the classroom and gossiping with the students in the class. When the time for class came, he walked up to the podium and got to the point: "Today is the first lesson of the acting class, let's talk about the subject of acting first." Anyone who knows anything about performance knows that there are two major systems of performance in this world, the Stanley system and the Brecht system, which is often referred to as experiential and expressive. Who knows the difference between the two systems?"

Zhang Ran saw that Zhang Xinyi's hand was raised high, and he couldn't stop calling "me, me", so he said: "Zhang Xinyi, you can talk about it!"

Zhang Xinyi stood up, scratched her head, and said, "I don't know." ”

Zhang Ran had a black line: "I don't know, what hand are you raising? Cao Bingkun, tell me!"

Zhang Xinyi stuck out her tongue, and said in her heart I just want you to call me, I was happy when you called me!

Cao Bingkun stood up and said: "Expressionist actors pay attention to the control of body language and expressions, emphasizing that actors should stay calm, examine the role, and be relatively outperform. Experientialism requires the actor to think, hope, aspire and act in the character's life environment exactly as correctly, logically, orderly, and like a living person, emphasizing the deep experience of the actor's inner emotions. ”

Zhang Ran nodded and said: "Very well-said, after Mr. Jiao Juyin introduced the Stanley system into China, all domestic performance schools taught the Stanley system. In the early 80s, Zhou Caiqin came back from the UK and went to Chinese opera classes, bringing in a lot of new things, including expressionist things and other genres. At present, the teaching of the domestic performance department is mainly experiential, and at the same time integrates the training methods of other genres.

What I'm going to teach you is the Stella technique, which is a branch of Stanley in the United States. After the Stanley system was introduced to the United States, Americans created different training methods and formed different schools and opinions according to their own understanding. Including Stella technology, Mesler technology and many more. Among them, Ms. Stella Adler is the only one of the various schools in the United States who has studied with Stanley and has been acknowledged by him, so the Stella technique is the most accurate understanding of Stanley in the United States. ”

"We've never heard of this person, isn't she famous?"

"It's not easy to be a teacher and want to be famous, so you have to work hard, and I will pin my hope of becoming famous on you. Zhang Ran looked at the youthful faces of the students, smiled and said, "Although our faction is not very famous, there are still cattle people, and they are super cattle people, Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro is from our faction, Robert De Niro and my teacher are classmates!"

Wow –

The students in the class let out a burst of exclamation, Teacher Zhang's teacher is so powerful, and Robert De Niro is a classmate!

"Mr. Zhang, have you ever met Robert De Niro?" someone asked.

Zhang Ran said seriously: "Yes, I said to him at the time, Mr. Robert De Niro, I have watched your "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", and the role of Lieutenant Colonel Sfarland is very good!"

The students in the class were stunned for two seconds, and then laughed wildly, people with a little common sense know that "Smelling a Woman" is played by Al Pacino, this is like a fan running to Jacky Cheung and saying, I love you to death, your "Forget Love Water" sings so well, it is definitely underdrawn!

Zhang Ran clapped his hands, stopped the students' jokes, and began to get to the point: "Whether it is expressionism, experience, or other genres, the content of the first lesson is basically the same, it is all relaxation training. Relaxation is the foundation of an actor, only in the case of relaxation, a person can know more things, understand and grasp himself, and better express his thoughts and emotions. When performing, if the actor is not relaxed, the character image will be stereotyped, sluggish, and even exaggerated. There are a lot of actors like this, who can give an example?"

"Ma Jingtao!"

"Erkang!"

Zhang Ran nodded approvingly and said: "That's right, Ma Jingtao is known as a roaring horse, and the characters he portrays have exaggerated expressions and speak excitedly, Zhou Haimei once said that Ma Jingtao was very nervous when acting, and his emotions were always very excited. This is typically not slack enough. And who is lax in acting? There are a lot of them, such as Mr. Li Xuejian and Leung Ka-fai. They don't have exaggerated expressions, they don't have too many external movements, and they don't have the so-called domineering, they are like a bottle of water, which cup they pour into, they can become what they can become. Relaxation is easy to say, that is, relaxation, everyone will say, but it is really difficult to do, and many people can't really relax after acting in a lifetime of plays. Cao Bingkun, Guo Zhen, you two come up, Wang Luodan, you also come up!"

Cao Bingkun and the three of them heard Zhang Ran calling themselves, so they hurriedly walked over and lined up in front of Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran asked Guo Zhen and Cao Bingkun to stand away, and then said, "Cao Bingkun, you relax, try to relax!" and then said to Wang Luodan: "Wang Luodan, you go and touch the muscles on Cao Bingkun's body to see if his muscles are tightened." ”

Wang Luodan stepped forward and touched Cao Bingkun's arm, which was relaxing, and said in surprise: "Really, his muscles are tense, like stones!"

"You touch his chest again. ”

"It's taut!"

"Touch your back again!"

"It's taut too!"

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Now that you go to touch Guo Zhen, her muscles must be relaxed." ”

"Really, Guo Zhen's arms are soft!" Wang Luodan let out an exclamation, and immediately reacted, "Guo Zhen is a girl, and a girl's muscles are soft, it's normal, right?"

Zhang Ran didn't answer, and shouted, "Zhao Ke, you come up!"

When Zhao Ke walked up, Zhang Ran said to Wang Luodan: "If you touch Zhao Ke's arms and back, her muscles must be tight." ”

Wang Luodan reached out and touched Zhao Ke's back and arm, and shouted: "Zhao Ke's muscles are stiff, how can this be?" She looked at Zhang Ran in surprise and asked, "Teacher, why are you so clear? You can't touch it, right?"

The students below burst into laughter, and Zhao Ke's face turned red, what is this Wang Luodan talking nonsense! Guo Zhen also blushed and said, "Sister Dandan, you are talking nonsense, Teacher Zhang has not touched me!"

Zhang Ran almost didn't let Wang Luodan vomit blood, touch your sister, I'm not a rogue teacher who came back from Japan, how can I touch a girl indiscriminately? He put Wang Luodan on the blacklist, this kind of student can't let her let her answer questions in the future, otherwise God knows what she will say, glared at Wang Luodan fiercely: "You stand up, Guo Zhen, you touch Wang Luodan's muscles, her muscles should be relaxed." ”

Guo Zhen touched Wang Luodan's arm and back, and exclaimed in surprise: "It's true, Sister Dandan's flesh is soft." ”

Zhang Ran glanced at Wang Luodan, and said in his heart, you female Ge You, can I touch you too? With a wave of his hand, he said loudly: "Okay, you four go down!"

The students in the audience touched the muscles on their bodies, felt their state, and looked at Zhang Ran suspiciously, not understanding how he could see whether Cao Bingkun's muscles were loose or not.

Zhang Ran explained: "Relaxation is divided into three levels, inner relaxation, muscle relaxation, and language relaxation, the most important of which is inner relaxation. Inner relaxation is the root of relaxation, and it is also the inner root of muscle relaxation and verbal relaxation. If your heart is tight, then your muscles, your words are tight. ”

He looked at Cao Bingkun and analyzed: "Cao Bingkun's problem is that he has been holding back a lot of energy in his heart, this state of playing that kind of tendon-like character, playing an impactful shot, can show strong explosiveness, but if you want to play that kind of peaceful character and show a relaxed state, you will not meet the requirements, and it will give people a feeling of being particularly hard, which is what everyone usually says about excessive force." ”

There are a lot of actors like Cao Bingkun, they are holding back their strength in their hearts, their acting is sharp, and they are particularly good at playing strong characters, once they play peaceful ordinary people, they can't relax, and they are easy to go overboard. For example, Zhang Ziyi's "My Father and Mother", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and "Ambush on All Sides" are all performed very well, these characters are relatively axial and a little tendoned, but "Very Perfect" and "Purple Butterfly" Everyone thinks she acted fakely, the reason is that she can't let go.

It is difficult for this kind of actor to change, and many people can't completely relax after acting for a lifetime, the key is that they can't get rid of their inner baggage. Take Zhang Ziyi as an example, she experienced blows such as "splashing ink door" and "fraudulent donation door", and then sharpened it for three years in the hands of Wong Kar-wai to complete the transformation, and finally interpreted Gong Er's stubborn and strong, rigid and soft character to the fullest, and truly achieved free retraction.

Some actors are naturally more relaxed, this is what everyone calls a genius, such as Zhou Xun. Everyone likes to say that Zhou Xun is a genius, but in fact, her genius lies in the fact that her acting is very relaxed, very natural, and there is not much trace of performance.

Cao Bingkun nodded thoughtfully, he had been an extras for a year, holding his breath, wanting to study hard and get ahead, but he didn't expect that holding his breath would be harmful to performance.

Zhang Ran continued: "Zhao Ke came out of the army, although he is a literary soldier, he has the characteristics of a soldier. What is a soldier? A soldier is a person who is always ready to fight, and his heart is broken with a string. Zhao Ke is the same, when I called her to the stage, the string in her heart tightened, and the muscles naturally tensed. Why is Wang Luodan's muscles relatively relaxed? Because she is babbling, she is not nervous, and her muscles are naturally relaxed. ”

Wang Luodan was obviously unconvinced, and shouted: "Teacher Zhang, where am I?"

Zhang Ran replied: "You have a very good problem!"

Everyone burst into laughter, this Wang Luo Dan Zhenji!

Zhang Ran looked at Guo Zhen and said with a smile: "As for Guo Zhen, she is a little confused, confused, the students in our class stand on the stage, and the most relaxed should be her, this is her talent, and God appreciates food." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard Zhang Ran say that Guo Zhen was a little fool, but they didn't expect Zhang Ran to think that she was the most relaxed, and even said that God appreciates food and eats, and Guo Zhen's eyes became envious.

Zhang Ran clapped his hands and said loudly: "Now everyone should understand what relaxation is all about, so let's do relaxation exercises below." Each school of the show has its own relaxation method, and the next thing we are going to do is Stella's relaxation method - puppet practice!"
