Chapter 482: Control

The scene was silent for several seconds, and Yang Fan applauded first, followed by other students. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info applauded while they chatted excitedly.

"Teacher Guo is so amazing, he acts too similarly!"

"This is the best animal simulation I've ever seen!"

"It really shows the feeling of a cat, like the real thing!"

Zhang Ran clapped his hands and motioned for the students to be quiet: "Now let's practice cat pose, let's lie face down, legs apart, arms at right angles to the body, palms facing the ground, hurry up!"

Nortel's playground is relatively small, only 250 meters, but the grass grows well, and the students have no scruples about lying down. Zhang Ran saw that the students were all lying down, so he said to Guo Zhen and Yan Shuo: "You two check the girls and let them relax!" As he spoke, he walked over to the boys and pinched their muscles, and when they were tight, he asked them to relax as much as possible.

After everyone relaxed, Zhang Ran ordered: "Retract your hands to ****, elbows up, and use your two palms as support points! Okay, very good! Butt up! Li Man's waist should not collapse! Chen Bi's ass is too high! Very good! Walk forward with both legs! Now lift your left leg......

After doing five cat exercises in a row, Zhang Ran began to change his movements: "Everyone stand up, stand up straight, and put your legs together." Now start bending over, head to knees, head to knees......!

"Stand up straight, now bend your body back!" This action is the iron plate bridge in martial arts novels......

After 25 minutes, Zhang Ran called a timeout and asked the students to sit down. The relaxation of muscles and spine exercises was not too much and not too difficult, and the students did not feel tired after doing it. Zhang Ran looked at them and said, "There are 14 exercises for relaxing muscles and spine training, and now they have been completed, and these movements are relatively simple. What we're going to learn next is a bit more difficult, and we're going to do a headstand!"

Yang Fan asked, "What is a headstand?"

Zhang Ran didn't explain, and said to Yan Shuo: "Teacher Yan, show them!"

Yan Shuo nodded, kneeling with his knees together. She put her hands in front of her, her fingers crossed and clasped together, her elbows open to shoulder width, so that her arms and clasped hands form a triangle and are firmly anchored to the ground. She then places her head in a triangle with the center of her head on the ground, slowly straightens her knees and raises her hips.

Yan Shuo slowly leaned forward with her legs, and after her body straightened, she took a breath, raised her feet, and then slowly lifted them up.

Up, up, up.

Until Yan Shuo's entire body and legs became a straight line, pointing straight to the sky.

"Wow, it's really standing up!" Yang Fan exclaimed.

The other students were stunned, they really stood up, and this handstand action looked so handsome.

After holding it for 1 minute, Yan Shuo slowly returned to the starting movement according to the original path and stood up.

Zhang Ran nodded at her with a smile and explained: "This movement is the head handstand pose in yoga, which is known as the king of posture in yoga. Like Yang fans, they should practice more, and they can pour out the water in their heads!"

The students all laughed, only Yang Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Your brain is in the water!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Headstand looks difficult, but it seems to be dangerous, in fact, it is not so scary, and it is not as difficult as you think, the key is to grasp the balance ability." Let's practice this move!"

Having said that, but the students were still a little afraid, after all, their heads were on the ground, what if they twisted their necks? Especially the girls were even more nervous, Chu Chu looked at Zhang Ran pitifully, hoping that he could raise his noble hand: "Teacher Zhang, this is so difficult!"

"Teacher Zhang, let's do something easy first, shouldn't we go step by step?"

"Teacher Zhang, what if I get hurt?"

Zhang Ran has never been a soft-hearted person, and said lightly: "Grotowski's 32 movements are set for different parts of our body and different muscles, and completing the whole set of movements can exercise all the muscles of the body." So you have to do every action, do you think you can dodge if you don't do it now? I led the 01 undergraduate class, and the industry has a good evaluation of these students. But when they graduated, I found that one thing they were not good enough was control. A really good actor must have strong control, and a real top actor must have strong control over the body, emotions, and heart, and be able to express himself as he wants, which is often said to be free. As soon as I came up, I asked you to learn from Grotowski in the hope of strengthening your control. Grotowski's training will not allow you to reach a level of freedom in a short period of time, but through four years of training, you will be able to control your body to a high level, and your performance will be more delicate and accurate. Both Grotowski and our Stella school put a lot of emphasis on the control of the body, requiring the actor to be able to control every part of the body, even every muscle!"

It's not a fancy theory, it's really possible. For example, when Zhang Hanyu was tortured in the movie "The Wind", his chest muscles were trembling, which was the result of muscle control. If Zhang Hanyu did not have strong control, it would be impossible to achieve this effect.

Zhang Ran felt that just talking about theories was a bit empty, so he said: "Chang Jirong, you play a lame person and give everyone a few steps!"

Chang Jirong stood up and dragged his legs forward, limping, his steps were heavy and difficult, and he seemed to be really lame.

The students in the class all felt that Chang Jirong acted very well, but Zhang Ran shook his head lightly: "It's acting at first glance, this kind of acting gives you ten lame roles, and you perform the same." For a real actor to play this role, he has to figure out what is going on with his feet, what is wrong, whether it is a knee problem, or something else, and then find the muscles that support the movement and control them. You have to understand how the muscles are controlled, and then practice them repeatedly, so that you can realistically perform the state of the character! For example, if you play Fu Hongxue, Gu Long didn't say how he was lame, then I can set him to have a broken hamstring, and he walked like this!"

As he spoke, Zhang Ran walked forward slowly, walking very slowly, and after he took a step with his left foot, his right leg slowly dragged him from the ground. There was no expression on his face, some were at least indifferent, and his eyes were so sharp that they were like knives, so that people didn't dare to look at them directly.

"The gadfly, the protagonist of the novel 'The Gadfly', is lame, so what should he do?" Zhang Ran moved his feet slowly, always struggling to move his left foot, and then carefully and with difficulty moved his right foot forward a small step. His steps are small, but every step he takes is so determined, so composed.

"Kong Yiji was also lame, so how did he go?" Zhang Ran sat on the ground, supporting him step by step with his hands.

Zhang Ran demonstrated six different ways of walking lame, six characters, and six states, giving people a completely different feeling.

The students were dumbfounded, except for Kong Yiji, who was walking with his hands, the others were limping, but everyone could clearly feel that the five people walked differently, and the position of their leg injuries was different. From Zhang Ran's performance, they saw Fu Hongxue, who was indifferent on the outside, the resolute and fearless gadfly, and completely different people.

This is the real performance, every gesture is a play!

Yang Fan has been acting since he was a child, has worked with many well-known actors, has accumulated considerable experience, and has a certain understanding of acting. She entered Nortel and Zhang Ran's class not because she wanted to learn acting with Zhang Ran, but because she hoped to get closer to Zhang Ran and strive to star in Zhang Ran's movies. Now she realizes how powerful Zhang Ran is, although the performance just now is a dragonfly, but she can see that Zhang Ran did change the state of the character through the control of muscles during the performance, and the whole performance looks like the real thing!

That's amazing!

Yang Fan heard Li Shaohong say that a really powerful actor can control every muscle in his body, can make the expressions and movements he needs as he wants, and can control the vocal cords to produce the required timbre. It can precisely mobilize the facial muscles that express sadness, while relaxing the muscles that express joy and surprise, and can accurately control the vocal cord muscles to emit fearful trills without the need to cover the face and other exaggerated movements.

She used to think it was an exaggeration, but now she realized that there were really people who could do it.

Yang Fan's eyes were shining, full of admiration, and with two points of joy, Xiao Ranran, this girl decided to follow you to learn acting seriously!

"I'm sure you should be able to see what muscle control is. How does that control come from? It's continuous training and training! Okay, let's practice headstand! Who will come first?" Zhang Ran looked at it, the boys Chang Jirong and Huang Xuan raised their hands, and the girls were still afraid, so he said, "Chang Jirong, you come first! Guo Zhen and Yan Shuo, you two take the girls to practice."

When Chang Jirong came over, Zhang Ran gave him a detailed explanation of the technical essentials, and then asked him to start practicing.

Chang Jirong sat on his knees, his knees together. The fingers are crossed and clasped together to form a triangle that is firmly attached to the ground. He then places his head in a triangle, lands on the ground, slowly straightens his knees, and raises his hips.

Headstand is indeed dangerous, Zhang Ran carefully guarded next to Chang Jirong, and instructed him at the same time: "Tighten your abdomen, push your butt back! Inhale! Slowly straighten your feet and lift your feet up." Keep tightening your abdomen, put your feet together and stretch them out, keep going, keep your legs straight!"

Chang Jirong successfully achieved a headstand, and his whole body became a vertical line, like a sharp sword pointing straight at the sky.

The students in the class shouted "wow": "It's really standing up, it's amazing!"

After Chang Jirong stood for nearly a minute, Zhang Ran instructed Chang Jirong to slowly retract his legs: "Now start to close your legs and inhale! Slowly, slowly, don't rush! Very good, very good! It's done!"

Chang Jirong completed the headstand and got up from the ground, his face full of joy: "Teacher Zhang is right, there is no difficulty as imagined, as long as you pay a little attention, you can stand up!"

"Understood, right?" Zhang Ran was very satisfied with Chang Jirong's performance, worthy of practicing Peking Opera for ten years, and there is really nothing to say about the basic skills, "The key to the headstand is to grasp the balance, as long as you master the balance, it is actually very easy!

At this moment, I only heard a pop, and then Yang Fan shouted: "Teacher Guo, you are so irresponsible, my waist is about to break!"

Zhang Ran turned his head to see that Yang Mi was sitting on the ground rubbing his waist, he shook his head speechlessly, this stupid man, you have to fall forward, so that you can step on the ground with your feet when you bend your body, and you won't fall at all, but you just fall backwards!

Seven o'clock morning work ended. Zhang Ran was a little disappointed in the training, only four of the ten students in the class were able to complete the handstand, the boys Chang Jirong, Huang Xuan, Chen Bi, and the girls Lin Xiaolu were less than half. However, he did not show his disappointment, and said with a smile: "That's all for today's morning work, everyone go to breakfast, and we will continue at half past eight!" (To be continued.) )
