Chapter 51 The Three Elements of Action
On the morning of October 8, Zhang Ran lost his temper when he was doing morning exercises. He has always emphasized that morning work must be persisted in for a long time, rain or shine, but the students in the seven-day class on the National Day are like wild horses, leaving Chen Gong behind, and only six people are insisting on morning work, which makes him quite angry.
Zhang Ran is usually pleasant-looking, but when he has a black face, it is very scary. So much so that during class, the students in the class were like cats and mice, their eyes were evasive and full of fear.
However, although Zhang Ran was angry, he did not bring his emotions to the class, seeing that the students were nervous one by one, he first asked them to do puppet practice twice, and then they relaxed before starting the class: "In drama, film and television performances, actors create characters by no more than two means, one is language, and the other is physical movements, which are more important than language skills. There is no sound to pantomime, and without action, then it is not acting, but storytelling. Therefore, actors are inseparable from action when acting. Today we are going to do a simple movement exercise, sit!"
After speaking, Zhang Ran moved a chair to the center of the classroom, beckoned to Zhao Ke, and said to her, "Come, Zhao Ke, you sit down." ”
Zhao Ke stood in front of the chair, looked at Zhang Ran in surprise, and asked carefully, "Teacher Zhang, sit, do you just sit casually?"
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Yes, sit casually." ”
Zhao Ke sat down on a chair in a soldier's standard posture and held his head high. After doing this, she glanced at Zhang Ran, and when she saw that Zhang Ran didn't react, she continued to sit. After sitting for about a minute, she became a little unnatural, didn't know what to do, seemed very uneasy, didn't know what to do.
Zhang Ran saw that Zhao Kedi was cramped, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't act." I believe everyone understands it, I only told Zhao Ke to sit and didn't tell her other information, she felt very dazed and very unnatural when she acted. Therefore, if we want to perform an action well, we must understand a concept, which is called the three elements of action. What are the three elements of action? are what to do, why and how to do it. For example, the act of sitting is to sit on a stool, the "why" is why you are sitting on a stool, you have to have a purpose, such as reading a book, and the "how" is the embodiment of "what to do", such as sitting down and reading a book, I have to sit down and open the book to read. Among them, 'how to do' is the most critical, and acting is often acting 'how to do'. Everyone should remember that actors must convey the plot and shape the image through action, and action is inseparable from the three elements of action! Now I add a condition, reading a book. Zhao Ke, you sit and read!"
Zhao Ke pondered for a while, lowered her head and performed reading, she was very engrossed, slowly turning the pages, sometimes nodding, sometimes smiling, as if the whole person was immersed in the pages.
Zhang Ran clapped his hands and motioned for Zhao Ke to stop: "Everyone has seen it, plus the action of reading a book, Zhao Ke's performance is much more vivid, this is to have the three elements of action." As actors, we will all take on plays in the future, but the scripts we get don't describe the specific actions, so we need to design them ourselves. Take Zhao Ke's performance of sitting and reading a book, her performance just now is still too simple, we can design more movements to make the whole performance more vivid. For example, we can design that when we flip the book, the bookmark falls on the ground, and we bend down to pick up the bookmark, and the action is more abundant; we can also do more complex design, for example, when we are reading a book, we turn to a note, and a boy asks Zhao Ke to meet, and when Zhao Ke sees this note, he will have mental activities, he will react, and the performance will become richer. Zhao Ke, now re-enacted, this time must bring more action. ”
Zhao Ke thought for a few seconds, reached out and made a zipper action, opened the imaginary bag, took out a bag of imaginary melon seeds, tore open the melon seed bag, and then swallowed the melon seeds while reading the book.
A few seconds later, Zhao Ke suddenly raised his head and glanced at the bag placed next to him. She opened her bag, took out her mobile phone, glanced at the number, and connected the phone: "Teacher Zhang, what's the matter? The rehearsal dance is very simple, well, just leave it to me! Goodbye, Teacher Zhang!"
Zhao Ke hung up the phone, put the phone back in his bag, and continued to bury his head in reading, while happily sipping melon seeds.
Zhang Ran suddenly prompted: "Now you got a bad melon seed!"
Zhao Ke picked up the melon seeds, opened them with her teeth, bit them twice, her face wrinkled, she spit out twice, and then wiped the residue of the melon seeds on her lips with her hands, spit and rubbed, and then she picked up a melon seed again and snorted happily.
Zhang Ran smiled and applauded: "Zhao Ke, you go down! Everyone has seen it! The same is sitting, the first monotonous and boring, the second time, there are movements become more vivid, and the last performance is full of fun in life!"
After saying this, the students in the class all nodded thoughtfully, it turned out to be this truth.
Speaking of this, Zhang Ran looked at the students in the class and shouted, "Guo Zhen, you come up!"
"Yes, Teacher Zhang!" Guo Zhen walked over and sat down on the stool.
"Just now, Zhao Ke was sitting and reading a book. This time, it's still a sitting, but not reading, this time we'll add time. Now through your performance, let everyone know when you are acting. Now, you play a morning!"
Guo Zhen thought for a while and asked, "Teacher Zhang, I'll lie down first, and then sit up, okay?"
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Of course you can, as long as you have the action of sitting." ”
Guo Zhen lay on the stool, closed her eyes, and fell asleep, and then she imitated the sound of the alarm clock: "Lazy pig get up, lazy pig get up!"
The students in the class laughed, Wang Luodan kept rubbing his stomach with laughter, Jia Niliang squatted directly on the ground with a smile, and even Zhang Ran couldn't help laughing.
However, Guo Zhen was not affected and was very focused. Her eyes narrowed into a line, she struggled to sit up, sleepily picked up the alarm clock and looked at it, drooped her head, and continued to doze off. After a few seconds, she rubbed her eyes, yawned, and began to slowly dress.
"Yes, now play for a night!"
Guo Zhen thought about it, picked up a "remote control" and pressed it in front of her, staring at the non-existent TV and looking intently. Suddenly, she slapped her thigh and burst out laughing.
"Stop!" Zhang Ran looked at Guo Zhen and shook his head, "There is no problem with the action, but you can also watch TV during the day, how can you prove that this is night?"
Guo Zhen asked in a low voice: "Then is it okay for me to doze off while watching TV?"
Zhang Ran said: "You may also doze off while watching TV during the day, think about it, what are the characteristics of the night, and how can you show this characteristic!"
Guo Zhen thought about it, her eyes lit up, and then she picked up the remote control, pressed it on the TV, and stared at the TV. Suddenly, she shouted, "What's going on, what's the power out?"
She looked left and right, it was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything, so she took her phone out of her pocket and pressed it, and it lit up a little. She stood up, with a little light on her phone, groped her way forward, and looked over: "Oops, the whole neighborhood is out of power!" After saying that, she fumbled back again and sat down again.
"Good acting, go down! Cao Bingkun, come up!"
Waiting for Cao Bingkun to sit down, Zhang Ran said: "This time we will play the season! You play a summer, the weather is very hot!"
Cao Bingkun wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and then fanned his face, but it had no effect, and it was still terribly hot. He pulled open his clothes, tugged at his collar, and fanned himself violently.
After a few slaps, Cao Bingkun rested his right hand on the top of his head and looked ahead, sighed, and could see that he was waiting for someone, but the person who was waiting had not yet come. After a few more seconds, he picked up a bottle of water that didn't exist, and threw it up his neck, but before he took two sips, the water was gone. He picked up the bottle and looked at it, saw that there was still a small sip inside, and re-lifted the bottle and drank the last bit of water. But he still felt thirsty, looked at the bottle, there was not a drop of water in it, sighed, and put the bottle aside.
"Now the scene is changing, winter, it's cold!"
Cao Bingkun tightened his clothes, put his hands together, blew on his palms, rubbed hard, and stomped his feet hard. Immediately after, he stood up, picked up the thermos, removed the cork, poured water into the cup, then corked the thermos and put the thermos back in place. He sat down again, holding the cup in both hands, and blew into it a few times, then took small sips.
"Yes, you go down. Zhang Xinyi, come up!"
Zhang Xinyi walked up quickly and sat upright on the chair.
"This time, we will play the location! Zhang Xinyi, the current scene is in the car, you have to show the feeling of sitting in the car!"
Zhang Xinyi thought for a while, the easiest feature of riding in a car is the bumps, and the body immediately shook up and down, imitating the bumpy state of the car. Then she leaned forward, then leaned back sharply, and played out the sensation of emergency braking. She sat up and patted her chest, and scolded loudly, "I'm sick, how did I drive?"
It's just that after scolding, she immediately regretted it, and when it was over, my ladylike image in Teacher Zhang's heart was ruined! Then she secretly glanced at Zhang Ran, and found that Zhang Ran seemed to be quite satisfied, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Ran clapped his hands: "Now you are motion sick, you are very dizzy!"
Zhang Xinyi leaned back on the chair weakly, her slender white hand tightly covered her stomach, her delicate brows twisted slightly, looking quite uncomfortable and sick.
Zhang Ran said loudly: "You vomited!"
Zhang Xinyi bent her body, held the chair with one hand, and did not press her chest with the other, and began to vomit. At first, she was just acting, but after two fake vomits, she really retched, and her internal organs began to churn.
"You found yourself spitting!"
Zhang Xinyi frowned, took out a pack of tissues from her bag weakly, took out a piece of paper and wiped her mouth, and then wiped the stains on her pants with this tissue, and wiped three pieces of paper in a row before wiping the stains on her body. She leaned back in her chair and gently rubbed her stomach, her face pale as if she were seriously ill.
"It's a great act, you go down! Now let's change the identity of the characters and sit down. Ji Chen, you play an eighty-year-old man, come over, and then sit down!"
……
"Jia Niliang, you play a pregnant woman, pay attention, the center of gravity of the pregnant woman's body is behind!"
Jia Milk Liang burst into tears, Teacher Zhang, you did it on purpose.
"Wang Luodan, you play a six-year-old girl, sit down in this position!"
Wang Luodan's mouth is high, Mr. Zhang, I hate you!
……
During lunch, Zhang Ran received a call from Zhang Jiandong, who told Zhang Ran that Chen Zhenghong of Dongyang Zhengyu asked Zhang Ran to meet and talk about the script.
Zhang Jiandong handed over the script to Chen Zhenghong in Zhang Ran's expectations, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. Zhang Ran happened to have no class tomorrow, so he made an appointment in the afternoon.
