Chapter 272 of the text Stanley Phase III

Next chapter

Last year, Zhang Ran came back from Tokyo, and after finding out the relevant theories of classical dance, she asked Teacher Tang in the physical fitness class to train the students in the class in the basic skills of classical dance.

Nortel's performance department has dance training in the physical class, but it is mainly about ballet training techniques and modern dance training. Classical dance is also taught by teachers, but basically you don't learn much. Classical dance is too important, and it is very difficult, and it will not have any effect after two or three years of kung fu, and it is a bit thankless to practice this.

Zhang Ran's class learned classical dance best is Zhao Ke, who graduated from the Military Art Dance Department and is a professional dancer. It was only because of an injury that I couldn't continue dancing that I applied for Nortel. She didn't come to the United States this time just to film.

There is no way, Zhang Ran can only send Zhang Xinyi to show, Zhang Xinyi is also from a dance background, but the ethnic and folk dance she learned cannot be compared with Zhao Ke.

Zhang Xinyi stood up, took off her coat, stuffed it into Wang Luodan's hand, took off her shoes again, and then walked to the lawn in the middle of the courtyard without hesitation, dancing enthusiastically like a happy bird.

Zhang Xinyi danced "Ai Lian Said", she knelt on one leg, and the back leg hook and upper body leaned back to synthesize the shape of a lotus flower, and the topic was clear and prominent. Immediately after, she slowly stood up, one hand half-covering her face, as if to make people understand the shyness of a young girl, one turned around and then stood on one half tiptoe, interpreting the growth process of Lian. Then, she was either shy in the green, or hiding her face around the lotus leaves, or waiting to be released, or graceful, quietly blooming without the natural beauty of powder, and stretching her unparalleled refined temperament, the charm of the classical Chinese woman came to her face.

After the dance, the old lady stood up and clapped vigorously. She has been engaged in performance teaching for decades, has a deep study of dance, and knows that this dance is very difficult, requires high softness, and some movements are seemingly simple. But it's very difficult to do it. However, what she is really interested in is the movement of the dance, and each appearance movement is based on the idea of the dance theme and the development needs of the character. The external form of action is unified with the inner emotion of action.

The old lady looked at Zhang Ran, nodded slightly, and said, "Very good dance, dance so well! I understand what you said!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "This kind of dance is based on opera, dance, and martial arts, and draws on the training of Western ballet. It's a product of fusion, and it's a great inspiration to me. One of the most important theories is body rhyme, which is body method, which belongs to the category of external techniques. Rhythm belongs to the connotation of art. However, in order to combine the two, they must go through rigorous training! Two girls in our class can barely do this, and the other one did not come to the United States because he wanted to film!"

The old lady nodded and said, "Show me the training method, I'll take a look!"

Zhang Ran nodded at Zhang Xinyi and motioned for her to show her movements.

Zhang Xinyi stepped forward with one foot, and quickly followed the other foot with the double. Make a 360-degree rotation to the left on the tip of one hand and a 360-degree rotation on the tip of the other hand from the bottom to the top, followed by a lower waist twisting motion. Then it ends with a step squat, and a swallow through the forest is completed.

Next, Zhang Xinyi showed several actions including turning the waist with the cloud shoulders and picking lotus with the clouds. She has a soft and well-proportioned figure. The body is slender, and the whole movement looks clean and neat. It looks very beautiful.

When Zhang Xinyi finished the movements, the old lady nodded: "These movements are quite difficult to practice, how long has this student been practicing?"

Zhang Ran said: "Zhang Xinyi has studied dance for several years, and she started practicing classical dance in November last year, she is one of the two best in our class, and the others have very poor results!"

The old lady smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time." More than 60 years after Stanley's death, countless people have tried to develop Stanley's third stage of training, but none of them have succeeded. Many great actors and teachers have failed! Certainly not in a short period of time. You at least have direction now, don't rush!"

The students are trained in the Stanley system. But I didn't have a lot of knowledge of Stanley's theory, and when I heard Stanley's third stage, I asked curiously: "Mr. Zhang, what is Stanley's third stage?"

Zhang Ran briefly explained that the development of Stanley's theory is divided into three stages, the elements of stage self-feeling, the elements of stage action, and the method of physical action.

The first stage is the elements of stage self-feeling, which is the "element training" that Zhang Ran conducted in the first semester, including training such as non-physical objects, sensibility, sense of belief, emotional memory, etc., and this stage is biased towards the training of internal skills.

The second stage is the elements of stage action, and the core content of this stage is the supreme task and the continuous action, which is also the core and foundation of the entire Stanley system. It is precisely with the elements of stage action, including the highest task and the continuous action, that the Stanley theory has truly formed a system, and it has the scientific, systematic and rigorous nature that no other performance training method has. Because the highest task and through-action directly grasp the essence of the performing arts, Yiqiē's training methods revolve around "action" and serve "action", and the system is connected into a film.

In the case of methodism, Strathberg's school belongs to the first stage, which explores more deeply the training methods of internal techniques, and strengthens relaxation, emotional memory, and emotional substitution, while Zhang Ran's school, which emphasizes the highest and continuous movements, is the typical second stage of Stanley.

Of course, it is not that the actors of the second stage are better than those of the first stage, Al Pacino is a student of Strasberg, and Robert De Niro is a student of Stella, they are both the best actors. In the same way, many people think that the Methodists are awesome and the Methodists are scum, but Merrill Streep is dominated by the Methodists, she is like a mountain in front of the Methodists, known as the Methodist Terminator.

In fact, no matter which faction is very powerful as long as it is done to the extreme, there is a saying in martial arts that "there is no high or low boxing, and people are strong and weak", and the same is true for performance!

Stanley's third stage is called the physical movement method, which is a theory proposed by Stanley after 1930. Because Stanley has found through long-term practice that people's feelings cannot be seen or touched, and cannot be effectively controlled, sometimes it is particularly difficult for actors to enter the play. Wang Zhiwen is a very good actor and his acting skills are also very good, but he often uses eye drops when he acts in crying scenes because he can't cry.

Therefore, Stanley intends to start from the visible, easy to grasp, and easy to train physical movements, and to use external movements to stimulate the inner emotions. So as to achieve the unity of internal and external. Sadly, Stanley was in his 70s at the time. The physical condition is very bad, and I can't participate in the stage practice, but I put forward the theory of the body movement method, and the training method is not opened.

In the decades since Stanley's death, many people, including Zhang Ran's teacher Mary Hill and even Stella Adler, have experimented with body movement methods, but no effective results have been achieved. Now all over the world. Including China is stuck in the second phase of Stanley. Some people even have doubts about this, thinking that the third stage is Stanley's utopian fantasy and will not work at all!

Hearing Zhang Ran's introduction, the students' eyes widened and they looked at Zhang Ran in surprise. If Mr. Zhang succeeds, won't he become a master like Grotowski and Meyerhold? Wow, it's really handsome!

Wang Luodan said excitedly: "Teacher Zhang, if you succeed, then start a sect." Then we will be the Great Disciples of the Kai Sect!"

Zhang Ran shook his head with a smile and said, "How can it be so easy, now I just have a little direction, and I am still far from success!"

The old lady was sitting upright. Looking at the radiant young man in front of him, he said, "Do you have specific plans and ideas for training?"

Zhang Ran looked at the old lady. "I want to let them train in classical dance first, and when they have practiced to a certain level, they can refine the effective elements according to the effect of the training, combine them into a new belief method, and then use this method to train others and test the effect!"

At present, Nortel and Chinese opera are learning from foreign countries and adopting cross-border training, which is to refine the effective elements in a variety of training methods and combine them to form a new training method. For example, the Jane Fonda training method in the United States is a training method that combines the training elements of dance, aerobics and yoga. It is very effective for the shape of actors.

The old lady looked at Zhang Ran with relief, just like a mother looking at her child. In her heart, she really regarded Zhang Ran as her own child, and smiled: "Do what you want! Maybe the proudest thing in my life is to have you as a student!"

Jia Nuliang immediately took over and said like a treasure: "Grandmother, we must practice hard and develop the third stage of Stanley's training method as soon as possible!"

The old lady knew that this could not happen overnight, but she still smiled and nodded: "Okay, I believe you will succeed!

Zhang Ran scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I will definitely work hard!"

The old lady stood up suddenly, "Wait a minute, I'll bring you something!" and she walked out into the room.

As soon as the old lady left, the students excitedly ran over and sat beside Zhang Ran, and said in a low voice: "Teacher Zhang, Mrs. Hill must have taken the martial arts cheats, or it will be the head token, and this is to pass on the skills to you!"

Zhang Ran rolled his eyes, I've read too many martial arts novels, and the master tokens are here!

Soon, the old lady returned to the courtyard, holding a big bag in her hand, sat down and said to Zhang Ran: "This is Stella's note, she gave it to me before she died, I hope I will help me, and now I will hand it over to you!"

Zhang Ran knew that the old lady valued this thing very much, this was her teacher's relic, took the bag, and nodded solemnly: "I won't let you down!"

Just then, Schmitz came over and told everyone that the beef was roasted and ready to be served. Zhang Ran and the others stood up and walked to the table, where they saw the sliced barbecue, fried mushrooms, grilled sausages and slices of bread, as well as some ketchup and hot sauce, etc., neatly arranged on the table, with large plates, knives and forks and paper towels next to them.

The students came over with plates to pick up what they needed, and they took whatever they liked, all at will. Zhang Ran picked a plate of food, held the plate, sat down next to the old lady, and chatted while eating.

stayed until nine o'clock in the evening, when Zhang Ran took the students to say goodbye.

The day was enjoyable, the students were excited, and they were still chattering non-stop when they returned to the hotel. Zhang Ran couldn't stand it a little, so he had to use his authority: "Go back to my room and sleep quietly, otherwise tomorrow's tour plan will be canceled!"

In less than two seconds, the entire corridor was silent, and the students instantly ran back to their rooms.

Los Angeles is a movie paradise, and students are looking forward to tomorrow's tour! For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
