Chapter 19: Confrontation

There are more students in the 98th and 99th grades of the performance department who take the play outside, and the teacher is relatively loose in the morning exercises, and there are not many people present. However, the performance students of the 00 and 01 junior college classes were present, and the head teacher was also present.

Level 00 students have already developed the habit of doing morning exercises on their own, and they don't need to be brought by the teacher, they can just practice by themselves. Teacher Cui Xinqin from the undergraduate class and Teacher Huang Lei from the junior college class stood next to them, looking at the freshmen of the 01 class and discussing in a low voice.

Both of them are famous teachers in Nortel's performance department, especially Mr. Cui Xinqin, she is a well-deserved star teacher of Nortel, and the 96 level she taught is a famous star class of Nortel, which is as famous as the 96 star class of Chang Li in Chinese opera, Zhao Wei, Chen Kun, and Huang Xiaoming are all her students.

Cui Xinqin was quite surprised by Zhang Ran's discussion about breathing, breathing is very important for actors, but she has only heard of this level of training for breathing: "Zhang Ran came back from the United States, but what he is talking about now does not seem to be a methodological thing, but Grotowsky's training method!"

There are two most famous performance systems in the world, namely the Stanley system and the Brecht system, which are often referred to as experiential and expressive. However, in addition to these two systems, there are many unique schools of performance, such as Peking Opera in China, Noh Opera in Japan, Katakari Dance Drama in India, etc., and the Grotowski school is also one of them.

Grotowski, along with Steiny, Brecht, and Aalto, is known as one of the four great theorists of the twentieth century, and has had a profound influence. The biggest difference between Grotowski and other genres is that Grotowski believes that anyone, as long as their IQ is okay, has the potential to become a good actor, just like everyone has a certain amount of gold on them, the difference is that I show three or four kilograms and you only show half a kilogram. As long as an actor passes rigorous training, it is possible to discover his potential.

Therefore, the training of Grotowski's school is quite strict, and it can even be said to be rigorous, similar to Peking Opera's emphasis on one minute and ten years of work off stage. In fact, Grotowski was indeed influenced by Chinese Peking Opera, and many of his training methods were derived from Peking Opera, and there are many records of Peking Opera training methods in his "Towards Rustic Drama".

Huang Lei nodded, he knew a little about Grotowski's training method, he was friends with Feng Yuanzheng, and Feng Yuanzheng was the only descendant of the Grotowski school in China: "It is indeed Grotowski's training method, only their training of actors is so strict, and the emphasis on breathing is to this extent!"

Cui Xinqin felt strange: "Isn't Zhang Ran a methodist, how did he teach Grotowsky?"

Huang Lei shook his head, looked at the students in Zhang Ran's class and said with a smile: "I don't know, but Grotowski's training is known for being rigorous, if Zhang Ran trains according to this method, these rabbit cubs will be guilty!"

Cui Xinqin agrees with Huang Lei's point of view: "The students in their class are average in talent, and there are no particularly outstanding ones, if they can really train according to Grotowski's method, they may be able to produce one or two acting schools." ”

Zhang Ran didn't know what the two colleagues were discussing, he looked at the students in the class, and felt the awe and expectation in their eyes, but he felt that this was not enough, he wanted to completely conquer these children, so that the teaching could be carried out smoothly, and turned his head and asked Zhou Zheng: "Teacher Zhou, have you seen "My 1919"?"

"My 1919" is a historical feature film released in 99, starring Chen Daoming. In 1919, the Chinese delegation to the Paris Peace Conference refused to sign the "Treaty of Versailles", which shook the world, and it is against this background that the film tells the story of Gu Weijun, a Chinese diplomatic genius, as a member of the Chinese delegation to the Paris Peace Conference.

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I've seen it!"

Zhang Ran said: "Let's do the scene where Gu Weijun refutes Baron Makino, I play Gu Weijun, and you play Baron Makino, how about it?"

"No problem, I'll play Baron Makino, then I'll come first!"

"Okay, you come first!"

Zhou Zheng took a step forward, coughed, raised his head slightly, and began to speak: "Your Excellency, the Japanese Government and the Chinese Government have already signed Article 21 on the Shandong issue, and there is no need to discuss it at this meeting......

Li Xinyue secretly praised in her heart, Zhou Zheng acted really well, and perfectly showed the pride and pride of the Japanese. However, Zhou Zheng has a lot of momentum, and Zhang Ran will not be able to act in the future.

This scene is Gu Weijun's refutation of Baron Makino, if Gu Weijun's momentum is weaker than that of Baron Makino, can it still be called a refutation? Therefore, Gu Weijun must overwhelm Baron Makino in terms of momentum. Now that Zhou Zheng's momentum is very strong, the difficulty of Zhang Ran's performance has increased.

Li Xinyue has never seen Zhang Ran acting, I don't know what his strength is, if this scene can't overpower Zhou Zheng, it will be embarrassing in front of the students, then he will not have half of his prestige in the eyes of the students, she can't help but be a little worried.

The students in the class whispered: "This seems to be the line in "My 1919", Teacher Zhou is silent, I didn't expect it to be so powerful!"

"Who do you think is more powerful, Teacher Zhang or Teacher Zhou? I think it's Teacher Zhou, Teacher Zhou is a powerful faction at first glance!"

"It must be Mr. Zhang, how handsome my teacher Zhang is!"

"I also think it's Teacher Zhang, otherwise it would be Teacher Zhou as the class teacher, I'm optimistic about Teacher Zhang!"

……

Teacher Cui and Huang Lei glanced at each other, and sighed at the same time in their hearts, Zhou Zheng is worthy of being a graduate student led by Dean Chen, with a very deep foundation, many well-known actors are out of reach, and there is no problem at all in entering the repertory troupe, I don't know how Zhang Ran's performance is!

The two of them are looking forward to Zhang Ran's performance, Zhang Ran is a talent who has returned from abroad, and everyone is counting on him to learn something new. They walked over with a focused expression, stood in the best viewing position, and waited for Zhang Ran's performance.

"China is a victorious country that has not sent a single soldier, what kind of face does such a victorious country have to come to this venue, I don't know what courage they have to come to this podium to speak!" Zhou Zheng finished the last line, bowed, and then proudly walked among the students and handed the stage to Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran walked up to the "podium" with a cold face and made a gesture of putting the bag, as if there was really a podium, and he really had a bag in his hand. He looked at the audience "offstage" and said in a deep and penetrating voice: "Please allow me to show you one thing before I make a formal statement. As he spoke, Zhang Ran took out his watch and lit it up.

Zhou Zheng saw the watch in Zhang Ran's hand, was slightly stunned, and then called: "That, that's my pocket watch!"

"Before entering the venue, Mr. Makino tried to curry favor with me. Zhang Ran looked at the watch in his hand playfully, then lifted the watch and lit it up to everyone, "Give me this gold watch." ”

Makino is a representative of Japan, Japan is a strong country, China is a weak country, and the Chinese representative who is despised by himself not only "steals" his own watch, but also slanders himself to please him, and Makino's anger can be imagined.

Zhou Zheng perfectly displayed Baron Makino's anger, his face was a little distorted, and he shouted loudly: "I protest, this is theft! The Chinese representative stole my pocket watch, this is open theft! Shameless, extremely shameless!"

"Baron Makino is furious, he is really angry! Zhang Ran raised his head and looked at Zhou Zheng coldly, anger burning in his eyes, "Then I want to ask Baron Makino!"

Zhang Ran's momentum exploded, like a tide pouring out, sweeping away, the entire scene was silent, and all eyes were focused on him.

Li Xinyue was stunned, a light of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she laughed, I am really worried, since Zhang Ran dares to play this paragraph, then he must be sure!

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ran completely broke out, and the whole person displayed the momentum of majestic mountains and rivers: "You Japan have stolen the entire Shandong Province in front of the whole world, should the 36 million people of Shandong Province be angry? Should the 40,000 Chinese people be angry! May I ask if Japan's behavior is regarded as theft and theft? Is it shameless? Is it extremely shameless!!"

When he said the last sentence "Is it extremely shameless", Zhang Ran mobilized all his strength, so that his arm waved involuntarily, as if he was cheering himself up.

The student standing a few meters away felt a strong momentum rushing towards him, and he was shaken, and he involuntarily took a step back.

Wow, that's amazing!

The students looked at Zhang Ran in a daze, their eyes shining, and their faces were full of admiration, just like little fans seeing the big stars they admired.

Although Zhou Zheng was not shocked like a student, his heart also jumped suddenly. At this moment, he didn't even dare to look at Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran's momentum was so strong that it shook his heart!

Gu Weijun went to the Paris Peace Conference to fight for China's rights and interests, and as a diplomat, he must maintain his demeanor, which represents China's image. Therefore, after refuting Baron Makino, he had to calmly state China's point of view.

Zhang Ran quickly restrained his anger and stated in a penetrating, but very peaceful tone: "Shandong is the cradle of Chinese culture, and the Chinese sages Confucius and Mencius were born on this land, and Confucius is like the Jesus of the West. Shandong is Chinese, both economically, strategically, religiously and culturally. China can't lose Shandong, just like the West can't lose Jerusalem!"

This line is very peaceful, the students have a shallow understanding of the performance, and they don't know how powerful it is, but Huang Lei and Cui Xinqin are eyebrows jumped, and a word suddenly popped out of their hearts - free to retract and release!
