Chapter 90: A Concerted Action

"Finally, let's talk about Yifei. Your performance is just about the external movements, and it's like that. Some details are also well grasped, such as when the driver drives you out of the car, your hands are clenched, and when Dandan yells at you, you are really embarrassed. So what's the fake? You don't have a good grasp of the character's heart.

As an actor, whether you are acting in a TV series, a movie, or a sketch, you must be prepared to grasp the character's heart to create a good role. It's not easy, so I'll teach you a way to find the character's coherent action. Take your sketch as an example, your whole action can be divided into several specific actions: getting in the car, exchanging money, discussing with the driver, and thanking the person who paid for you. Now let's analyze them one by one, first of all, get on the bus, why do you want to take the bus?"

Liu Yifei thought for a moment and replied, "He's going to deliver documents!"

"Yes, that's what he's going to do. Looking at his second action, exchanging money for the passengers in the car, why would he do that?"

Liu Yifei replied: "Because he doesn't have change." ”

"So what was his purpose in changing the change?"

"Take the car, go and deliver the documents!"

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Yes, it's also a document to be sent." The third action is to discuss with the driver to see if he can pay again next time. Why did he do that? Again, because he was going to deliver documents. In the end, the other passengers paid for him, and he was very grateful because he was able to get the documents through. You see that all the actions of the characters are strung together by sending documents, and this behavior runs through all the actions of the whole person, which is called a series of actions in the performance.

It is very important for an actor to shape the role well and find the character's coherent action, as long as he grasps the coherent action, it is equivalent to erecting the skeleton of the character, and then we can add flesh and blood to the role, so that the character can stand up. Now looking back and thinking about the sketch you played, because you were worried about sending documents, you would exchange money with other passengers, ask the driver, and insist on not getting out of the car, what the characters think in their hearts is not clear at a glance?"

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up: "Master, I know what she is thinking!"

Huang Shengyi and Wang Luodan also seemed to be enlightened, and protested: "Teacher Zhang, why didn't you teach us this?"

"This is the method of analyzing the script, and I will teach it when I learn to build characters next semester. Zhang Ran smiled.

TV series often have dozens of episodes, with many clues and events, and it is quite difficult for actors to grasp the characters. If you can find out the chain of actions, it is equivalent to drawing a line, and the performance has a clear direction. Sketches are generally not needed, because the sketches are short, the characters are simple, and the actions and psychology of the characters are clear at a glance. It's just that Liu Yifei has little social experience and can't grasp the hearts of the characters, so he has to use this method to analyze her.

Zhang Ran clapped his hands and said, "Give you another five minutes to prepare, and repeat this sketch!"

Liu Yifei had a good discussion with Huang Shengyi and Wang Luodan, and performed again.

This time, the performance of the three was much better than the previous one, and Liu Xiaoli smiled. Of course, there is still a problem, Zhang Ran pointed it out unceremoniously, and then asked them to re-enact, then correct it again, and repeat it again.

After many revisions and performances, Zhang Ran felt that it was okay, so he asked Huang Shengyi and Wang Luodan to arrange sketches, and Liu Yifei to observe and analyze the characters' actions.

Huang Shengyi asked, "Teacher Zhang, what are we playing?"

Zhang Ran groaned: "Do you still remember the girl who picked up customers at lunchtime? Shengyi, you play her, I play the boss, Dandan plays the passerby, and Xinyue plays the one who asks for directions." Yifei, you pay attention to Sheng Yi's performance, see how she portrays this character, and see if she plays the psychological state of the character!"

After a brief discussion, the show begins.

"Brother, are you eating?" Huang Shengyi stood in the center of the room and loudly beckoned passers-by.

As soon as she finished saying this, she glanced to the side, ran over with a smile on her face, and stretched out her hand to lead the store: "Brother, are you eating? We have chicken skewers and mutton skewers at home, hey, brother!"

Only Huang Shengyi was performing alone, but through her movements, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli could clearly feel that there was such a passerby, and they could feel that he was leaving. Liu Xiaoli nodded, the level of students taught by Teacher Zhang is really good, and Liu Yifei is full of admiration, Sister Deng Deng is so amazing!

Huang Shengyi watched the passers-by go away, with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "You go slowly, you will serve you twenty-four hours a day!"

Wang Luodan came on the stage, holding his mobile phone and coquettishly said: "Hey, what are you doing?" and then said: "I'm hungry!"

Hearing this, Huang Shengyi immediately ran over and said with a smile: "Sister, come to our house for dinner." We have chicken skewers, lamb skewers ......"

Wang Luodan stopped, but ignored Huang Shengyi, and continued to say into the phone: "I don't want to eat skewers!"

As soon as Huang Shengyi heard this, he immediately added: "We also have spicy crayfish, grilled sea fish, grilled scallops, and grilled mountain goods!"

Wang Luodan said into the phone: "I don't!"

Huang Shengyi continued: "Our home environment is good, the taste is good, don't miss it when you pass by! There is nothing we can't do, only what you can't think of." ”

Wang Luodan felt noisy, turned his body to the side, and said into the phone: "You are louder, I didn't listen." ”

"Hey!" Huang Shengyi heard Wang Luodan say this, coughed, cleared his throat, and shouted: "Grilled sea fish, grilled seafood, grilled scallops, grilled mountain goods!"

Wang Luodan turned around abruptly and glared angrily at Huang Shengyi. Huang Shengyi realized that people were not talking to him, and smiled awkwardly. Wang Luodan glanced at her fiercely and scolded: "I didn't see me on the phone, I hate it!" After speaking, she said into the phone as she walked: "Hey, where did you say to eat, I didn't listen." ”

Huang Shengyi watched Wang Luodan go away, but still said, "Twenty-four hours at your service, sister!" and then she continued to solicit guests.

At this time, Li Xinyue walked over to the left and looked left and right, as if she was looking for something. When Huang Shengyi saw it, he immediately greeted him: "Sister, come to our house, we have chicken skewers, mutton skewers, ......."

Li Xinyue looked at Huang Shengyi for a moment and asked, "I'm sorry, I made an appointment with a friend, do you know where the white water sheep's head is?"

Huang Shengyi hesitated for a moment and pointed to the left: "Go straight, 50 meters away!"

"Thank you!" Li Xinyue thanked her and walked in the direction pointed by Huang Shengyi.

Huang Shengyi watched Li Xinyue go away, and when she turned around, she saw Zhang Ran holding the boss's belly and looking at her coldly. She realized that there was trouble, and immediately turned around and shouted to the street: "Dinner, we have chicken skewers, mutton skewers, spicy crayfish......

Zhang Ran walked over, looked at her, and said coldly: "What are you doing? Go forward fifty meters! Who are you doing things for?"

Huang Shengyi lowered his head, the whole person was very cramped, and he didn't know how to put his hands and feet.

"Push the business outside, can you do it?" Zhang Ran pointed at Huang Shengyi and scolded loudly, "I'll tell you! If you really can't do it, leave me as soon as possible!" After speaking, Zhang Ran left angrily.

Zhang Ran's voice was very scary, Huang Shengyi and the others were used to it, Liu Yifei was startled, she didn't expect the usually smiling master to act so terrifyingly.

Huang Shengyi looked at Zhang Ran's back in a daze, and then smiled bitterly.

"Chicken skewers, mutton skewers, spicy crayfish, grilled sea fish, grilled scallops, grilled mountain goods, brother, 24 hours a day for you!" Huang Shengyi's eyes were a little red, but she held back her tears, smiled and loudly solicited passers-by. Just laughing and laughing, the voice was filled with crying, and then the tears fell.

End of the show.

Liu Yifei jumped up, went over and grabbed Huang Shengyi's arm and said, "Sister Deng Deng, you acted so well, I want to cry when I see you crying!"

Zhang Ran smiled and beckoned to Huang Shengyi and called her over: "This time the performance is good, I can give you seventy points." Especially when you are kind enough to give you the way and are scolded by the boss, I can feel the grievances in your heart, you hold back your tears and solicit customers with a cheerful voice, but the tears come down after shouting. The moment was particularly moving. We observe the characters to discover such shining things, if we create more such shining points, then the characters will really come alive! But there are still a lot of shortcomings, first of all, your voice is clear and too brittle, and the person who plays is a person who solicits customers on the street all day long, her voice should be dry, and then the action is not in place, many details are not grasped, you can dig deeper. ”

Usually Zhang Ran gave everyone a score of 60 points, but this time he gave 70 points. The smile on Huang Shengyi's face suddenly bloomed: "Yes, Teacher Zhang!"

Zhang Ran looked at Liu Yifei and said, "Now tell me what is the series of actions of this character played by Shengyi?"

Liu Yifei said: "I know, it's to pull guests to eat!"

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Yes, this is it." When performing, as long as you firmly grasp this point, you can understand the behavior of the characters and also be able to understand the hearts of the characters. ”

Liu Yifei nodded and said, "Well, I know what she thinks!"

Zhang Ran clasped his hands together: "What we are acting out now is just a small fragment, and it is very easy to find out the series of actions, and it will not be easy for you to find out the series of actions from the script in the future." Let's not talk about this now, let's choose a scene for the three of you to play by yourself, and prepare in ten minutes!"

After practicing until nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Xiaoli asked the driver to drive Zhang Ran and the four of them back to school.

Zhang Ran returned to the dormitory, sat down at the table and groaned for a while, picked up a piece of paper and painted. He had been drawing the story of flight for ten years, drawing thousands of pieces of manuscript paper, and he would take it out and draw a few strokes when he had nothing to do.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Zhang Ran received a call from Liu Yifei, she lowered her voice and said shyly: "Master, I really have diarrhea." But I didn't betray you, I said I had ice cream and diarrhea!"

As soon as Zhang Ran was about to speak, he heard Liu Yifei's "ouch", followed by the sound of clanging footsteps. He smiled and shook his head, this is the end of gluttony!
