Chapter 20 Joint breathing
When Zhang Yimou was filming "Return", he commented on Gong Li: "I think that when I evaluate her, I can evaluate her in eight words, free and relaxed." It's a very common eight words, but it's hard for anyone to do it in performance. A good actor like Gong Li, after the experience and precipitation of life, at this age, these eight words can be done. ”
As Zhang Yimou said, it is easy to say that it is easy to put away freely, but it is very difficult to really do it. Many actors act to a certain extent, they will be patterned, and whatever role they play will look the same. Siqin Gaowa, Jiang Wen, etc., many actors with excellent acting skills are like this, and Chen Daoming also said that everything he plays is carved out of a mold. In fact, not only domestic actors are like this, but also abroad, Ang Lee recalled the filming experience of "Sense and Sensibility" and said that senior actors are too mature and easy to be ingenious.
This is not a problem of acting skills at all, many times it is because these actors have too big wrists, and the director can't control them, and they dare not guide them, but have to listen to their command. Jiang Wen's filming of "Looking for a Gun" is not news for Lu Chuan, and Chen Daoming's love to change the script. The director can't hold back the scene and lets the actors play freely, and the actors often act according to their familiar routines, so that the performance is particularly easy to be patterned and easy to lose control.
When they meet a director who can calm the scene, the director controls it, and they can often play well, for example, Chen Daoming met Zhang Yimou, and he gave a textbook-like performance in "Return".
Cui Xinqin and the others thought of Zhang Ran's performance freely, not that Zhang Ran's performance reached Chen Daoming's level, in fact, he was still far away, and he was acting in this scene completely in Chen Daoming's way. It's just that when performing, Zhang Ran broke out when he should have broken out, and took it back when he should have received it, and he took it back when he was supposed to do it, and he took it in place. For a young man in his twenties, this is very rare.
The show continues.
"Your Excellency the President, distinguished delegates, I am very pleased to represent China in this peace conference. I feel a great responsibility because I am speaking here on behalf of China, which accounts for a quarter of the world's population. Just now, Mr. Makino said that China was a victorious country that did not send a single soldier, but this is ignoring the most basic facts. "During the war, China sent 140,000 laborers to Europe, and they were all over the battlefield, and they were bleeding and sacrificing like all the soldiers of the victorious countries. I would like to ask you to look at another photo of the cemetery of Chinese laborers who died on the battlefield in France. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Ran picked up the "photo" again and showed it to everyone: "There are more than a dozen such cemeteries in France and in Europe, and most of them are from Shandong Province in China!
Zhang Ran raised his voice, and the majestic momentum broke out again: "It's to win this war and get back the peace and tranquility of your homeland!"
Immediately after a simple pause, Zhang Ran reined in his momentum and made his final statement in a calm tone: "Therefore, the Chinese delegation is convinced that when discussing the issue of China's Shandong Province, the meeting will take into account China's basic legitimate rights and interests, that is, sovereignty and territorial integrity, otherwise there will be countless souls crying in Asia, and the world will not be at peace!
Bang Bang -
Cui Xinqin was the first to applaud, Huang Lei followed, and the other onlookers also applauded. The applause was like thunder, and the city soared into the sky, almost catching up with the curtain call on the Renyi stage.
The students in Zhang Ran's class did not applaud, they were like a swarm of bees with irrepressible excitement, hula and hula, and they chattered around Zhang Ran non-stop.
"Teacher Zhang, your lines are so well read that I was so moved that I almost cried!"
"Teacher Zhang, you're almost catching up with Chen Daoming!"
"Stupid, how can Chen Daoming compare with our Teacher Zhang, our Teacher Zhang is much more powerful than him!"
"Teacher Zhang, do you have a girlfriend?"
……
The two class teachers of the 01 junior college class, Wang Jingsong and Hu Weiguo, did not go close to watch Zhang Ran's performance, but they still saw Zhang Ran's performance clearly.
Wang Jingsong's face was full of disbelief, Zhang Ran's line skills were beyond his expectations, and he was too strong. To tell the truth, Zhang Ran is the head teacher of the undergraduate class, and he, an old teacher, actually teaches a junior college class, he has some opinions in his heart, but at this moment, the little dissatisfaction in his heart has disappeared, and he is convinced.
Hu Wei's heart was like a stormy wave, and he was shocked, damn, Zhang Ran, this bastard actually said his lines so well, how could this be? No, I can't lose to him! He stood up with a gloomy face, glared at the students in his class, and roared loudly: "Look at what, hurry up and practice for me, if you don't practice well, you are not allowed to eat!"
Cui Xinqin and Huang Lei were relatively close, and Zhang Ran's every line could be heard clearly, and they were completely conquered.
The movie "My 1919" is played by Chen Daoming Gu Weijun, Chen Daoming's deep line skills are also recognized in the industry, Chen Daoming grasped the role of Gu Weijun very well, played it to the fullest, and finally won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor.
The heat of Zhang Ran's lines is undoubtedly inferior to Chen Daoming, but Zhang Ran's grasp of the emotions of the characters is not inferior to Chen Daoming, especially when stating China's position, his words are very peaceful, but there is a strong sense of indignation under this peace, and he accurately captures Gu Weijun's inner state.
China is the victorious country, it has contributed to the war, but it is not respected due in Paris, as a Chinese, how can you not be sad and angry. However, Gu Weijun is the representative of China, and when speaking on behalf of China, he must maintain a Chinese demeanor, so Gu Weijun tried his best to suppress his inner emotions and completed his statement with peaceful words.
Cui Xinqin looked at Zhang Ran, shook his head, and said with emotion: "Zhang Ran is only twenty-four or five years old, this scene is so easy to put and play, and he has a very good sense of proportion, it's really hard to believe, and I don't know how he practiced." How did he, a young man, understand Gu Weijun's mood at the Paris Peace Conference, and how did he do it at such a young age?"
Huang Lei thought for a while and said: "Maybe it has something to do with his experience, he has been abroad for several years, and he studied acting, I don't know how much cold eyes and ridicule he received, which is similar to what Gu Weijun encountered at the Paris Peace Conference." ”
Cui Xinqin felt that this made sense: "Life is the best teacher, he is a person with life, coupled with Stanley's experience and Grotowski's control of the body, the students in their class will be afraid of it in the future!"
Huang Lei laughed softly when he heard this: "Sister Cui, maybe your 96-level star class will be surpassed, and they will become the new star class!"
The 96-level star class is Cui Xinqin's pride, she is very confident in several of her students, and said with a smile: "It's not easy to surpass Zhao Wei, if Zhang Ran thinks he can do it, then he can try!"
Huang Lei laughed: "I don't lose anything with you!"
Three women in one play, three women can top a thousand ducks! Now more than a dozen girls are talking non-stop around Zhang Ran, and all of a sudden, thousands of ducks are flying in the sky, covering the sky and the sun.
Zhang Ran almost felt that his ears were about to be deafened, so he turned his face and said loudly: "What is the trouble, hurry up and stand in line for me, and all those who move slowly will be expelled from the division!"
The students in the class burst into laughter, but they still quickly formed a line, lined up neatly, and waited for Zhang Ran to class with anticipation on their faces.
Zhang Ran saw that the students were full of emotions and their eyes were shining, and he was very satisfied: "Do you see that I am sweating on my head, and I am not breathing? This is the function of breathing, and if an actor wants to act well, learning to breathe is the first step! Now I will teach you how to breathe. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Ran's steps were separated outward, shoulder-width apart, and at the same time he crossed his hands above his waist and below the soft underbelly, and said loudly: "There are three kinds of human breathing, chest breathing, abdominal breathing, and chest and abdomen combined breathing. Among them, combined breathing can use all the respiratory muscle groups of the human body, so that the volume of the lungs can be fully expanded, which is most in line with the laws of physiological movement. As actors, we must get used to this kind of breathing, and we must be good at controlling the role of the respiratory organs, so that the performance can reach the best state. ”
After speaking, he first explained in detail the operation of joint breathing, how to inhale, how to exhale, how to exercise the abdominal ribs, and then demonstrated how to do joint breathing.
Combined breathing involves the movement of internal organs, and if it is not handled well, it can cause inflammation of the organs and even nervous confusion, so it must be practiced under the guidance of a teacher at the beginning.
Cao Bingkun's basic skills are relatively solid, and he can learn things with half the effort, and when Zhang Ran finishes demonstrating, he has mastered the essentials and learns like this.
Zhang Ran walked over and pressed his hands on the lower part of Cao Bingkun's ribs, letting him inhale and exhale, and feel the movement of his chest, abdomen and ribs. After Cao Bingkun finished exhaling, Zhang Ran nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you have learned, go and guide other students to practice!"
After speaking, Zhang Ran walked up to Ji Chen and instructed him to practice. Ji Chen practiced twice and quickly mastered the essentials. Zhang Ran withdrew his hand and walked towards Jia Niliang, ready to guide Jia Niliang to practice.
The girls in the class saw that Zhang Ran only taught boys, and no matter how girls suddenly stopped, they protested to Zhang Ran: "Teacher Zhang, you are too partial, you only teach boys, and you don't care about us girls!"
"Yes, it's too partial, protest, strongly protest!"
"Teacher Zhang, the boys can be taught by the Cao class, you can come and teach us girls!"
"Eccentric, Teacher Zhang eccentric!"
