Chapter 142: The Second Stage of Teaching
Winning awards at film festivals, coupled with days of reports on the movie channel, has attracted a lot of attention.
When Zhang Ran returned, several media asked to interview him, but Zhang Ran refused without hesitation, hanging outside the school for too long, it was time to teach the students.
After finishing his morning work in the morning, Zhang Ran handed out the handmade chocolates he bought to the students in the class, counting him as a little bit of heart from a teacher who always doesn't attend classes. The students in the class were very happy, Teacher Zhang didn't forget us, and they didn't forget to bring us gifts when they went abroad, and their dissatisfaction with Zhang Ran disappeared immediately.
Waiting until half past eight, Zhang Ran walked onto the podium and said: "From today onwards, we will officially enter the second stage of performance teaching, that is, the stage of fragment teaching. Before the official class, we first implemented the sketch competition. The sketch contest should be known to be held by CCTV, and in addition to Nortel, China Opera, and Shanghai Opera, there are also major TV stations across the country, as well as the drama troupes of the General Political Department and Air Politics. There are many masters, including many old artists who have been in the art for decades, such as the last champion Yan Shunkai. The sketch contest is the fifth year this year, and we didn't make it to the finals once, and we made it three times in the Chinese drama. This time, we are going to participate in the competition, not only to strive for the finals, but also to win the prize!"
"Teacher Zhang, we must come on!"
"We're sure we'll get the top prize back, and you'll see!"
"Teacher Zhang, we will let the people of Chinese opera know that we are awesome!"
Zhang looked at the students who were ready to do a big job, and muttered, "I've been thinking about who to send these days, you are all my students." Each one of them is excellent, and this is a very rare opportunity for you. Because there are drama troupes such as the General Political Department and the Air Politics in the participating teams. There are people from the National Theatre among the judges, if you are good enough. It may be favored by these groups. ”
Hearing this, the eyes of the students in the class lit up one by one. If you can enter these drama troupes, it is equivalent to holding an iron rice bowl and eliminating worries. Like Zhang Ziyi is an actor of the National Theater, she must pay money to the theater when she goes out to act, even so, she is still willing to stay. Because the actor may not be popular for a few years, he will be out of fashion, and joining these units will have a guarantee for the rest of his life.
"If it's up to me to decide which of you will go and who won't. It's definitely not fair, then there's only one way!" Zhang Ran took out a handful of notes from his bag and squeezed it tightly in his hand, "That's the lottery!"
The students in the class were nodding their heads, and this was indeed the fairest way to do it.
"I have 34 tickets here, six of which are to go to the competition, and it is all up to luck to how many people can go and who will go. Huang Shengyi. You smoke first, and set an example for them!" Zhang Ran beckoned to Huang Shengyi.
"Okay, Teacher Zhang!" Huang Shengyi walked over and reached out and casually pulled a note from it. Slowly opened it, and then everyone saw that the word "pig's head" was clearly written on it.
Huang Shengyi didn't understand what it meant, and asked, "Teacher Zhang." How am I a pig's head?"
As soon as these words came out, the classroom burst into laughter. Zhang Ran patted her on the shoulder. smiled and said, "Holy clothes, you can finally understand yourself correctly!"
Huang Shengyi stomped his foot. Angry: "Teacher Zhang, you are playing tricks!"
Zhang Ran said with a smile: "What you go is to come on, what you don't go is the pig's head, you are the pig's head, you don't have to go!"
Huang Shengyi protested: "I'm not a pig's head!"
Wang Luodan smiled below: "Teacher Zhang, you don't go to the competition, you are also a pig's head!"
Zhang Ran glared at Wang Luodan, and said, "It's not big or small, the next Ge Erdan, you come and smoke a pig's head!"
Wang Luodan heard Zhang Ran call himself "Ge Erdan" again, and came up angrily and drew a lot, opened it to see that it was really a pig's head, and went down with a crow's mouth......
The students in the class took turns to draw lots, and in the end, three of them won the "come on", and they were three boys, Cao Bingkun, Wang Siwei and Gao Hang.
Zhang Ran looked at the three of them, shook his head and said: "I actually drew three boys, not a single girl, it seems that the girls in our class are too reserved, and they are not willing to show their faces on CCTV! Okay, you three boys may have to work a little harder in the next few months, not only do you have to practice sketches well, but you can't relax in the prescribed clip practice, can you do it?"
The three boys said in unison, "Yes!"
"Very good, this is our 01 form student!" Zhang Ran smiled and nodded, "I will take out the sketch as soon as possible, and I won't talk about this now." We are in the formal class, and from today we will enter the stage of fragment teaching, in which we will learn the basic methods of analyzing the script and characters, and organize the action and perform it. I have discussed with Mr. Li and Mr. Zhou, and according to your characteristics and shortcomings, I have arranged different roles for you. Let me divide the roles below, "Thunderstorm" Zhou Puyuan is played by Jia Niliang, Su Yi is played by Zhang Xinyi, Zhou Ping is played by Wang Siwei, and Sifeng is played by Guo Zhen......"
Students have been exposed to the script of Thunderstorm, and many of them have acted in textbook plays in high school. Everyone is quite familiar with the characters in it, so they are very surprised by Zhang Ran's arrangement: "Jia Niliang is so different from Zhou Puyuan, how can he play Zhou Puyuan?"
"Yes, Zhang Xinyi is not like Su Yi, the difference is too big!"
"How could Teacher Zhang arrange it like this?"
Zhang Ran heard the students' discussions, and said with a smile: "These roles are selected by our three teachers according to your own characteristics, some of the roles are based on strengths, such as Guo Zhen, her own temperament is relatively close to Sifeng, we hope that through the role of Sifeng, her advantages will be amplified." Some classmates make up for their shortcomings, such as Jia Milkliang, who is more jumpy, and has a great contrast with Zhou Puyuan, which is to broaden his acting path and exercise his ability. ”
The students in the class nodded silently when they heard this, it turned out that the teacher had a deep meaning in arranging the role, and he was really too shallow.
Zhang Ran continued: "The dialect of "Addicted to Death" is played by Ji Chen, and Du Mei is played by Huang Shengyi. ”
"Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" Xu Sanguan is played by Cao Bingkun, and Xu Yulan is played by Wang Luodan......"
……
After the roles were assigned, Zhang Ran looked at the students in the class and said, "The roles have been assigned to you." I'll send you the script in a moment, and I've already marked out which scene I'll play! Now let's talk about how to analyze the script and analyze the characters. Analyzing the script and characters can be roughly divided into five steps. The first step is to read the script for the first time. Here I would like to remind you. Whether it is now or in the future, it is very important that you read the script not only your own characters, but also read it completely. In this process, we must grasp what the script is about, what characters are there, where the story is happening, and what the reasons are. And what is time.
The second step is to analyze the script, in this step you still have to study the whole script, you must understand the background of the era in which the story takes place, figure out the prescribed situation, grasp the central event, grasp the contradictions, dig out the theme idea, find the script's coherent actions and the highest task, and master the style and sports. Style and sports lottery this point should not be underestimated. Tragic comedy, drama, tragicomedy have different styles and sports lotteries. Gong Li has played countless classic images, but there is one play she didn't play well, that is, "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", her performance is incompatible with the whole play. didn't integrate into the movie at all, which is why she didn't fit into that Hong Kong-style funny style well. ”
The students in the class have all watched "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", and Gong Li really didn't act very well.
Actually, it's not just Gong Li. Many mainland actors have a sense of separation when they go to Hong Kong films, which feels very mismatched. That's a matter of style and genre.
Zhang Ran continued: "The third step is to analyze the character, and this step is crucial for the actors. We have to figure out the clues of action for character development, we have said that action is the basis of performance, is the means to shape characters, and if we want to play a good character, we must figure out the clues of character action and action development. Secondly, we have to grasp the character's continuous actions and highest tasks, and then we need to explore the internal and external character traits of the characters, figure out the relationship between the characters, and recognize the status and role of the characters in the script. At this stage, there is a very important job, which is to organize the biography of the character. I don't want you high, just five thousand per person. ”
When the students in the class heard the 5,000-word biography, they immediately shouted: "Five thousand, this is too much!"
"Teacher Zhang, you are the kindest, a little less!"
"5,000 words is too much, what if I can't write it?"
Zhang Ran explained: "It's not that you can come up with a 5,000-word character biography at once, which is really difficult, but as we study the script in-depth and explore the prescribed situation, there will be more and more details, and later you also need to design the characters, speech speed, dress, etc., and wait for the official performance, you will find that your character biography is far more than 5,000 words." Just like Leung Ka-fai, he was asked to write a 100,000-word character biography at the beginning, can he write it? Definitely not. It's a slow build-up!"
Jia Niliang asked: "Teacher Zhang, what if the character biography that came out at the end still doesn't have 5,000 words?"
Zhang Ran glared: "That can only mean that you don't have any intentions." If you can't get it out then, I'll ask you to copy all the biographies of the whole class!"
Jia Nanliang calculated, the biographies of 30 people are 150,000 words, and he estimated that he would have to copy it for half a year, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "Teacher Zhang, I must be fine, I am worried about Wang Junyi, with his IQ, 5,000 words is simply his life!"
Wang Junyi was furious, and immediately scolded: "Sycophant, don't talk about me, I'll put my words here, no matter how many words you write, I will have 100 more than you!"
Zhang Ran clapped his hands and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let the two of you increase by five thousand each." ”
Hearing this, Jia Niliang and Wang Junyi immediately closed their mouths and sat upright, looking like good students.
Zhang Ran continued: "The fourth step is to start designing the character image, including language intonation, speed of speech, etc., external dress, personality, design the way of performance, and start matching words. The fifth step is to put yourself into the character, bring all your own designs and ideas, and bring this character of your own design into the story for rehearsals. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Ran paused: "We have completed the first three steps this week, Cao Bingkun, Zhao Ke, you two come up and take down the script and send it to everyone!" (To be continued.)
