Chapter 493: A wonderful performance in the play
readx;? "Richard III" begins with a long monologue, and these lines are followed by subtext. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info For example, in the first sentence "Now our winter-like feud has given this York's red sun to shine into a harmonious summer scene", York refers to the York family, and the whole sentence involves the history of the struggle between the Lancaster family and the York family. If the actor does not have an in-depth study of the historical background and the character, what is hidden behind the lines cannot be revealed.
Chen He performed very well, not only speaking fluently and speaking the lines, but also conveying the subtext. With his own majestic and magnetic voice, he vividly presented the insidious and vicious nature of Richard III,
Feng Yuanyi nodded slightly: "This student's line skills are very good, whether it is clarity or penetration, they are in place, and the subtext is also expressed, this time we have a strong opponent!"
Zhang Ran said lightly: "Only when the opponent is strong can it be convincing, what's the point of abusing vegetables?"
The first scene ends quickly, and the actors of the second scene begin to take the stage.
Jiang Shuying, who played Mrs. An, walked on the stage with a sad expression, and behind her, a group of people dressed as servants carried a coffin, and the group walked slowly, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
At this moment, Chen He limped up to Tailai on crutches: "Stop, put the coffin down." ”
Mrs. Ann's husband was killed by Richard, and now the murderer dares to prevent the burial. Jiang Shuying said angrily: "Where did the evil ghost come from, who dared to stop this sacred thing?"
Chen He ignored Jiang Shuying, and continued to scold the servants: "Dog minion, put down the coffin! Otherwise, St. Paul is here, and you don't want to live." ”
The servant persuaded, "My lord, please get out of the way and let the coffin pass." ”
Chen He was furious: "Rude dog, don't you understand my words, put down the coffin!" As he spoke, he drew his sword and pointed at several servants: "Put down the coffin, or I will take your dog's life, hateful minion!"
The servants had no choice but to lay down the coffin.
Jiang Shuying saw that the servants really put down the coffin, and shouted angrily: "What's the matter! Are you trembling? Are you all afraid? Haha, no wonder, no wonder, you are all human, and everyone is afraid of the devil!" She glared at Chen He fearlessly and shouted: "Get out! You devil in hell, your magic power is at most to mutilate his body, but his soul does not belong to you." Get out of here!"
Chen He smiled and said, "Lovely saintess, don't say it so viciously!"
Jiang Shuying scolded loudly: "Demon, God will not let you go, go away! You have turned the happy world into hell, and the world is filled with the miserable sound of angry curses and screams......
At this moment, the audience in the audience let out an exclamation, and behind Chen He and Jiang Shuying, the background board of the stage staggered down.
The background of the drama stage is realized through the backdrop, in the case of "Richard III", it is impossible for the crew to build an English palace on the stage. It takes time to build a scene, and it takes time to change the scene after a play, and it is impossible to set up the scene now, so the scenes of the drama are often realized through the background board. The backdrop is a large spray cloth with the background needed for the performance and a steel frame behind it.
Now Chen He's background board has fallen!
Chen He, Jiang Shuying, and the servants and actors all stared at the collapsed background board, not knowing what to do. They were only sophomores, and they didn't perform much on stage, so they were a little at a loss when they encountered this situation.
Hong Bin, who was standing at the entrance of the stage, covered his face in pain, this is too unlucky, how can this situation happen? The other students in the play also shook their heads and sighed, I am afraid that this performance will be smashed!
Drama is immediate, no matter what happens, it can never be stopped in the middle of the performance, so stage accidents are part of the drama and are inevitable. When encountering an accident, it is often necessary for the actors and even all departments of the crew to respond on the spot and adjust and make up for it according to the emergency.
Chen He was born in an acting family, his mother is a national first-class drama actor, she has seen many stage accidents since she was a child, and she has also heard her mother talk about the stage accidents she encountered, and how to deal with them. He knew he had to be calm at this time, and pretended that nothing had happened. The long sword in his hand pointed at several servants: "What are you doing in a daze?
Several actors who played servants looked at Chen He in surprise, can this work?
Chen He waved the long sword in his hand twice, and shouted, "You dogs, can't you hear my orders?
The actors playing the servants came to their senses, quickly ran behind the backdrop, lifted the backdrop, and returned to their original positions.
Chen He bowed slightly to Jiang Shuying: "Lovely saintess, you continue!"
Jiang Shuying continued the lines just now: "Demon, God won't let you go, go away! You have turned the happy world into hell, filling the world with the miserable sound of angry curses and screams......
On the judges' seat, Wang Xiaoying nodded slightly, and said approvingly: "This student who plays Richard III is good, his basic skills are very solid, and he also has a very deep understanding of the role, and what is even more rare is that he knows how to adapt and reacts very quickly!"
Yang Shaolin, general manager of the Modu Drama Art Center, said with a smile: "This child's name is Chen He, he is from a drama family, and you should all know his mother, Hu Xiaoling of the Fujian People's Art Theater!"
When several judges heard Hu Xiaoling, they suddenly realized that Hu Xiaoling is the president of the Fujian People's Art Theater, and she is also a director of the Chinese Dramatists Association and the Chinese Drama Research Association.
Pu Cunxin looked at Chen He, who was performing seriously on stage, nodded slightly, and said: "It turned out to be Hu Xiaoling's son, no wonder Richard III can perform at this level, today's game is a bit interesting!"
Yang Shaolin was stunned when he heard Pu Cunxin's words, knowing that he was Hu Xiaoling's son, and he showed extremely strong strength, there should be no suspense in this game, how could Lao Pu say something interesting?
Pu Cunxin said with a smile: "There is no drama family, but I heard Feng Yuanyi say that there is a student from a Peking Opera family, and Feng Yuanyi is full of praise for this student." ”
Yang Shaolin, a Peking Opera family, was a little surprised, Peking Opera performance and drama performance do have something in common, and students who have studied Peking Opera will learn drama performance faster. Yuan Yang and Qin Hailu were both born in Peking Opera, and the foundation laid by Peking Opera laid a good foundation for their later development.
However, Peking Opera is different from drama after all, they are two different arts, and even if this student is highly talented, if he studies for more than a month, he will perform a very difficult drama like "Richard III", and he will definitely not be able to perform the desired effect. Yang Shaolin said with a smile: "In more than a month, it should be impossible to practice to Chen He's level!"
Pu Cunxin smiled faintly: "It is indeed impossible to reach the level of Chen He in a short period of time, but under the guidance of Zhang Ran, it is completely possible to act in a good play, and I am looking forward to their performance!"
Lin Zhaohua, who was next to him, also agreed when he heard Pu Cunxin's words: "I'm also looking forward to Zhang Ranpai's "Richard III"!"
Yang Shaolin was slightly stunned, even Director Lin was so optimistic about Zhang Ran's students, Zhang Ran was really that powerful?
The performance on the stage continued, driven by greed, Richard's rhetoric and blame for blame, and he succeeded in gaining the trust and support of Buckingham, Hastings, and Stanley, and stirring up the indignation of the powerful against Edward IV. Edward IV fell seriously ill and died, and his son, the Prince of Wales, returned to London to succeed him. The sanctimonious Richard was scheming and cunning, imprisoning the young prince in the Tower of London, deceiving the people, killing opponents, and finally ascending the throne and becoming Richard III.
After ascending the throne, Richard III tore the fig leaf of morality, and on the supreme throne, he did whatever he wanted, and he was treacherous. The throne, forged by shameless lies and bloody slaughter, soon reveals its tyrannical side, accepting all tyrants and putting them on the guillotine of history.
Richmond sent troops to attack, and the betrayal of Richard III was defeated. Suddenly surrounded, he staggered to the center of the stage, and cried out in a desperate and mournful voice: "One horse, one horse, my throne for one horse!"
The actor playing the squire ran up to the stage: "Come back, Your Majesty, I'll go get you a horse!"
Chen He scolded loudly: "Minion! I have already gambled my life, I would rather gamble and decide the winner." I thought there were six Richmonds on the battlefield, but I had killed five of them today, but I didn't kill him. Speaking of this, Chen He staggered forward and shouted loudly in a somewhat hoarse voice: "One horse, one horse, one horse, my throne for one horse!"
Chen He's mournful and desperate cry was like an ice blade, stabbing into the hearts of the audience, and he felt a little sympathy for this cruel king.
The performance ended quickly, and the students of the 04 undergraduate class of Shangju took the stage to bow and take a curtain call, and many of the audience present gave a standing ovation, followed by a stormy applause and cheers from the audience.
"These students are doing well, especially the actors of Richard III, and they have some skills!"
"Yes, it's not easy for sophomores to play students to this level!"
"The opponent is too strong, Zhang Ranban is afraid to lose this time!"
"Zhang Ran has a hand in leading students, but it has only been more than a month since the school started, and the opponent is so strong, I'm afraid there will be no fun!"
"Zhang Rantuo is big, if he trains for half a year, he should have a chance!"
The applause in the theater rang out for a long time, and the students of the 04th grade of the theater were trembling with excitement, and two of the excited girls were already in tears.
This is the stage of the National Theatre, and the top experts in China are sitting in the audience, as well as teachers from major colleges and universities, and professional actors from major theater troupes. Now they're clapping us, and it's a standing ovation!
For an actor, this is a great honor!
The students brought by Zhang Ran did not speak, but they all heard the audience's discussions, and the audience's words were right, the 04 level of the play did show a very high level, especially the actors of Richard III, not only performed Richard's ferocious, cruel, insidious and vicious, but finally presented the characters with grief and despair perfectly, and the whole performance was meticulous.
Not only did the opponent perform very well, but he also managed to defuse a stage accident, and this match was very difficult to win!
Zhang Ran felt the nervousness of the students, and when he came out of the theater, he kept telling jokes, trying to make everyone relax, but with little success.
After a simple meal outside, everyone went back to the backstage to put on makeup.
After putting on makeup, changing clothes, and seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Ran took the students to the entrance of the venue.
When he arrived at the entrance of the stage, Zhang Ran pulled the curtain and took a look at the audience, the 330-seat theater was already full, and even the aisles were full of people, obviously the audience's expectations for Zhang Ran's class were higher than the 04 level of the play.
At the same time that Zhang Ran looked into the theater, the students also looked at it, looking at the dense audience in the theater, not to mention other people, even Chang Jirong, who was originally more relaxed, also felt nervous.
After all, this is the stage of Mandarin, after all, the people sitting in the audience are professionals, after all, this is a contest of honor! )
