At six o'clock in the morning, the sound of "hey, hey, haha" sounded on time on Nortel's campus, and the students of the acting department had their morning work. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The students of Class 05 of Biaoben 1 stood in two rows in the playground, looking at Zhang Ran with excitement on their faces. They all came for Zhang Ran, and now they finally waited for the respected Teacher Zhang to give them a lesson.

Zhang Ran's gaze swept over the students' faces, and he nodded with a smile: "The spirit is good, I hope everyone can maintain it in the next four years! Our class has very strict requirements for morning exercises, as long as they are not really sick, no one is allowed to ask for leave for any reason! You may have all learned a little acting, and you know that morning exercises are mainly based on vocal and physical exercises." We won't practice vocal exercises today, but mainly do physical exercises!" Speaking of this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but glance at Yang Mi, the biggest problem in the class about Yang Mi's voice, her voice was too thin, it seemed sharp and harsh, and it took a lot of effort to correct it!

Yang Fan is very depressed, what's wrong with me?

Zhang Ran retracted his gaze and said: "The most important thing for me to recruit you is that everyone's physical fitness is relatively good, actors rely on their bodies to act, how can they act if their physical conditions are not good? For example, if you are acting in a fighting scene, your physical condition is poor, and your legs are not straight, how can you act?

Our training this semester is based on the Grotowski method, which places a special emphasis on physical training. Grotowski has 32 moves, 32 sets to be exact. is like Dugu Nine Swords in martial arts novels, it is said that there are only nine moves, but each move has hundreds of variations. Each of Grotowski's big moves is divided into many smaller ones. For example, there are 8 small exercises for preparatory movements, and 14 exercises for relaxing muscles and spine training.

These movements are basically not done in daily life, and some of them are very difficult, but this is the characteristic of Grotowski, constantly breaking the limits of the body and mind, so as to discover the potential! We start with the simplest preparatory movements, there are a total of eight preparatory movements! We do the first exercise first, this movement is performed and will be done during the warm-up. It's just walking, but when you are walking, you have to turn your arms and hands! Guo Zhen and Yan Shuo, you two do a demonstration, and you walk!"

As he spoke, Zhang Ran turned on the tape recorder and played energetic disco music.

Acting lessons, especially in the early stages, often require music. Music can make students' movements more rhythmic when doing movement exercises, and it can help students get into situations when they are experiencing emotions. When he was directing Norah Jones, he used the music of "River Water".

Zhang Ran turned up the volume, clapped his hands and said, "Stand up, everyone will form a circle." Spread out a little!Very good, now you guys start walking, pay attention to the rhythm of the music!Get up, turn your arms!"

The students all walked along to the music, and at the same time their arms were turning, smiling and grinning, which was very funny.

"Yang Mi, when did you become so delicate, what kind of lady are you pretending?" Zhang Ran saw Yang Mi stealing and playing tricks, and directly named her, "The action should be as large as possible, and you must use the greatest force to turn your arms." Stretch your shoulders and neck as you turn your arms, imagining yourself as a dolphin trying to split the surface of the sea and soar into the air!"

"Don't stretch your neck forward, stretch it up, imagine that you are a dolphin, you want to rush out of the sea!"

When you are in place, you will feel the blood rushing up, the air rushing upwards, the sound of rushing water in your ears as your arms turn, and you will feel like a dolphin rushing out of the sea......

"Go on, go on!" Zhang Ran shouted, clapping his hands uncontrollably.

Running on tiptoe, your body must feel the sense of fluidity, flight and weightlessness while running. The momentum of running comes from the shoulders ......"

The students of Class 05 Biaoben 1 kept a constant speed and trotted around the circle, and after running a few laps, Zhang Ran began to ask them to do the third movement. Although it was only a warm-up exercise, Zhang Ran was very strict, requiring both movement and strength, and constantly changing the rhythm. After about fifteen minutes, the warm-up practice was finally over.

Zhang Ran turned off the tape recorder with a smile, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, sit down!"

The students in the class were all sitting on the ground, all of them were covered with sweat, Chang Jirong, who had good physical fitness, was a little short of breath, while Yang Mi, who had average physical fitness, was panting heavily.

Zhang Ran looked at them and said, "The warm-up movement is the simplest of Grotowski's 32 movements, which is basic walking and trotting. I think you should have noticed that although the movements are simple, it is also very tiring to do the whole set. Everyone should know a little bit about Grotowsky!"

The students in the class nodded silently, especially Yang Mi, she was a little out of breath after a warm-up action, God knows how difficult the training will be later.

Waiting for the students to pant evenly, Zhang Ran clapped his hands and said: "Let's do relaxation muscle and spine training, this training has 14 exercises, we first do the first action cat shape, this action is to imitate the cat from lazily waking up and turning over, to moving the body, to finally lying down relaxed, this complete process." ”

Zhang Ran looked at the students in the class and nodded: "Yuan Shanshan, play a kitten for everyone." ”

Yuan Shanshan looked at Zhang Ran, then at the other students, put her hands into fists to her face, and shouted, "Aim!"

The students in the class all laughed, and Zhang Ran also laughed: "You are selling cuteness, not acting." Huang Xuan, you have a kitten!"

Huang Xuan immediately lay on the ground, stretched his waist first, then sat up, licked a little saliva on the tip of his tongue with two "melon seeds", washed his face with his "paws", and then kept licking his "fur" with his tongue.

The students in the class all laughed, Huang Xuan acted really similarly, and there should have been a cat at home.

Zhang Ran clapped his hands: "The imitation is good, but it is only an imitation, because the whole performance lacks emotion." Zhang Ran asked Huang Xuan to sit back, and then said: "Let me tell you about Grotowski's theory, Grotowski believes that actors can only eliminate distractions through high-intensity physical training and shaping, and only through extreme training can they achieve extremely profound psychological experience." Modern civilization has made most people rarely have the opportunity to engage in extreme sports, and the primitive animality of human beings has been greatly weakened. In order to regain his own nature and primitive impulses, Grotowski added a lot of subjects to his training that simulated the form of animals. It is to learn the behavior of animals, to be able to sharpen the degraded organs, and to recover the instinctive emotions without disguise. Ge's theory is actually a bit of a magic stick, and he himself did become a god stick in his later years, and he went to practice. However, his training method does work, because this training can bring the internal emotions of the actor through external training.

There are many genres of performance in the world, and if you distinguish them from the performance itself, they can be divided into two categories, one is from the external action, and the other is from the heart. If you go to see Meryl Streep's performance, you will find that she has a lot of small movements, each of which is carefully choreographed, even the lip shape. She is not from a professional class, but her acting skills are very good. Her performance is to start from the heart and find emotional basis from the heart. When you play a broken love, you recall your original love, and when you fall in love, you recall your original love, and project your real emotions onto the characters. She doesn't use technical means to act, she doesn't use eye drops and the like, it's all true, so her plays are often from the heart, both good-looking and real, and Zhou Xun's acting is the acting of Strasberg's school of method.

In fact, both methods of acting have shortcomings, and the disadvantage of starting from the heart is that the feelings cannot be seen or touched, and it is difficult to effectively control them. For example, when acting in crying scenes, many actors often think about their past tragic experiences or imagine tragic things when they act in crying scenes. But when it comes to real acting, these two methods often fail, emotional memory, maybe the use of imagination to mobilize emotions is not always successful, acting in movies doesn't matter, you can ng, but dramas can't ng, the problem is huge.

Stanley was aware of this, and in his later years he tried to start from visible, easy-to-grasp, and easy-to-train physical movements, trying to bring internal emotions through external movements. It's just that Stanley was very old at the time, and he only put forward theories, not training methods. In the decades since Stanley's death, countless people have been working hard to develop Stanley's third stage training method, but none of them can actually meet Stanley's third stage requirements.

As we mentioned earlier, Grotowski wanted to regain his true nature and primitive impulses through rigorous training, which was closer to Stanley's third stage. Although the Grotowski method doesn't really meet the requirements of Stanley's third stage, it is one of the most outstanding of all. My teacher has been trying to learn from the Grotowski method and develop Stanley's third training method, but she didn't succeed and we will continue in this direction!"

The students listened attentively, but what Zhang Ran said involved too many theories and factions, and they didn't understand it very well. But one thing they understood, this Grotowski's training method is very advanced.

Zhang Ran clapped his hands and said, "Let's make a cat shape next!" Guo Zhen, you give them a demonstration!"

Guo Zhen let out an "oh", stretched her body, and lay down face down, completely relaxed. She spread her legs apart, her arms at right angles to her body, and her palms facing the ground.

Zhang Ran looked at Guo Zhen lying on the ground and smiled, now there are their own students as teaching assistants, and the demonstrations can be handed over to them, which is like the last session, these demonstrations have to be done by themselves.

Guo Zhen lay down for two seconds, retracted his hands to the ****, elbows up, and used his palms as support points. Hips cocked, legs on tiptoe to hands. The left leg is raised and straightened, while the head is raised and straightened. Put your left foot back in place, then repeat with your right foot while your head is raised and straightened. Next, she straightens her back, puts her weight on her backbone, rolls over, and lies down with her back down like a cat, completely relaxed.

The students in the class were all eyes straight, and many opened their mouths in surprise.

Although Guo Zhen's movements are only a few, they are really vivid, the movement of her limbs, the bulging bones in her back, and the state of her whole body are really like a kitten who wakes up in the morning and moves her body!

This action is simply the pinnacle of the state!

Guo Zhen is a Jiangnan girl, she is more delicate, and she looks about the same age as Yang Fan. The students in the class didn't take her too seriously, but now they were all shocked.

Mr. Guo is so amazing!

Is this Grotowski? (To be continued!) )
