Chapter 358: Rehearsal

Rehearsal of Chapter 358 of the text

Next chapter

TV drama is the art of screenwriting, film is the art of directing, and drama is the art of actors. ≯>≥≦ There is a certain truth in this, on the stage of the drama, the actors themselves are in control, and after a drama is performed, the actors can clearly remember every detail even at the beginning. Movies are different, the order of filming may be disrupted, and it is likely that after a scene is filmed, the actors don't know what they are shooting, which is the case with Wong Kar-wai's films.

Most of the aspiring actors hope to prove themselves on the drama stage, and many powerful actors in Europe and the United States have drama stage experience, and they will return to the drama stage after becoming famous. After winning the Oscar, Kevin Spacey began to reduce the number of films he made, and then went to London's Old Vic Theatre to perform in plays, and also brought his plays to China.

Of course, this is not to say that the director is not important to the drama, the director is also the core of the drama, otherwise Meng Jinghui and Lai Shengchuan will not be able to play their own brands. As a director, you need to think about how to present the content of the script on stage, and you need to consider the lighting, sound and stage design, as well as how to arrange the scene.

After assigning the roles, Zhang Ran began to lecture to the students: "Let me first talk about the idea of this play, our play is based on the Indian "Five Point People", but the whole content is completely Chinese. The story tells the story of three best friends who live together in the same room and pursue their dreams and realize themselves in college, and explores deep-seated educational and social issues in a humorous way. This play is an inspirational comedy, which criticizes cramming education, criticizes the monopoly of parents over their children, spurns those who chase fame and fortune, promotes friendship, eulogizes modern love, and always encourages young people to pursue boldly

After saying this, Wang Luodan raised his hand and asked, "Teacher Zhang, I have a question. The theme of this story is completely opposite to that of "Burst Drummer", so which do you think is correct?"

The other students looked at Zhang Ran and nodded incessantly. "Burst Drummer" is about not working hard and you can't succeed, while "Three Fools" is against exam-oriented education, and it looks like the opposite!

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Didn't some newspapers say that I was Chen Wei in "Bursting Drummer", in fact, I am not only like Chen Wei, but also quite like the virus in "Three Fools"!"

The students in the class laughed when they heard this, and Zhang Ran could say that if others dared to say this in front of them, they would definitely be anxious with him.

Zhang Ran continued: "I believe in the sentence in "Farewell My Concubine", if you want to be noble in front of others, learn to suffer behind your back. I think the words of the virus in the play are right, life is a race, if you don't run fast enough, you are the broken egg. That's the reality. So at the end of the feature film, although the virus affirmed Yu Bo's ability, but at the same time pointed out his mistakes and arrogance! This play does not contradict "The Bursting Drummer", doesn't Yu Bo, the hero of this play, work hard? This drama opposes stereotyped education, opposes book-only theory, and does not attach importance to the cultivation of ability. Like if any of you could memorize "The Complete Works of Stanley," I'd think it would be amazing, but would I think it's a good actor? No. For actors, acting well is the most important thing!"

The students nodded thoughtfully, some understanding what the story was really about.

Next, Zhang Ran began to analyze in detail the ideas and practical significance of the scripted film, analyze the requirements and assumptions of the structure, style and artistic treatment of the story, analyze the main characters and the requirements for image building, and put forward his own requirements for the main contradictions and important scenes of the story.

The director must explain everything thoroughly when analyzing the script, so that the actors can process and create characters on the basis of the director's requirements. Even a particularly unreliable director like Wang Jiawei will spend a lot of time explaining the actors and characters thoroughly before the official start of filming.

The students all know Zhang Ran's habit of analyzing the script, and they all take notes carefully with notebooks and record key things. Of course, they are not stupid, and when they encounter something that is unclear or something they don't understand, they will ask directly. Zhang Ran sometimes explains directly, sometimes lets everyone discuss, and then gives his own conclusions.

This drama is about the story of college students, students have life experience, and have their own understanding of the characters and stories, for example, some students feel that the final ending of the story is too perfect, a bit cheesy, and feel that let Yu Bo be an ordinary teacher, and a happy life is the best. Because dreams are not distinguished, dreams cannot be evaluated according to secular standards, so the intention will be taken off a lot.

Zhang Ran is not a tyrannical person, he thinks that the good ones will be adopted, and the bad ones will give his own explanations.

By half-past five, I had almost finished talking about it. Zhang Ran stood up and clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, that's all for today, and the first row will start tomorrow." Students who didn't write a character biography should go back and write a character biography! That's it!"

"Goodbye, Teacher Zhang!" the students bowed to Zhang Ran and packed up their things and dispersed.

The next morning, the first phase of the rehearsal began. This is the graduation drama, and the students did not dare to slack off in the slightest, so they came to the small theater early in their practice clothes.

The rehearsal of a drama is a meticulous and long process, which is divided into preliminary rehearsal, fine rehearsal, continuous rehearsal, and rehearsal, and it often takes several months or even a year for a drama to officially go on stage from the initial rehearsal to the official stage.

The first rehearsal is a scaffolding for the whole performance, that is, to pull out the structure of the whole performance. At this stage, the most important thing is to determine the physical task of the actor and determine the action of the character, because the performance is the action of the character. Tong guò determines the physical movements of the characters, and is able to pull out the colored lines of action.

The movie "Three Fools" begins with Fahan receiving the news from Lancher on the plane and pretending to be sick and getting off the plane. However, as a drama, it must not be handled like this, and the scene must be compressed as much as possible, otherwise the scene will be changed in two minutes, and the scene will be changed in two minutes, and the scene will not be able to be performed.

The opening chapter of the drama "Three Fools" was placed on the rooftop of the school, allowing Wang Xun and Xu Le to meet with the second senior brother, directly starting from the ten-year agreement. The second senior brother is the silencer in the movie, everyone thinks he is a nerd, and Brother Monkey is usually called Bajie nerd, so everyone gave him such a nickname.

Zhang Ran called the actors of the first scene to the stage and arranged their stage actions: "Wang Jiayi, after you walk on stage, first look at the words on the wall, and then you come to the upper right area to look at the photos on your mobile phone!" Then looked at Cao Bingkun and Wang Junyi and said: "When Wang Jiayi stands in the upper right area, start looking at the mobile phone, and the two of you run up and start talking to the middle and lower area." Then, Wang Jiayi, you come over and talk to them, and the story begins! Okay, let's talk about this first!"

The drama stage can be divided into six areas according to the audience's perception of the strength of the stage space, upper left, lower left, upper middle, lower middle, upper right, and lower right. These six areas give the audience a different feeling, so the director is very particular about which area the actors are arranged to perform in.

Among them, the upper right area is the most remote and weakest area on the stage, with a mysterious, hidden, and terrifying feeling. It is suitable for the scene of conspiracy, sinister, madness and other events, and the middle and lower areas are in the middle of the lower stage, and the audience's attention is the strongest and most powerful. It is suitable for scenes of struggle, conflict, crisis, tension and heavy decision.

Wang Jiayi stepped onto the stage and came to the middle and upper districts. Now that there are no props and sets, Wang Jiayi looked at the "wall" where there was no zài, and let out a burst of wild laughter.

There was a date written on the "wall", and the second senior brother carved this date on the wall, and promised to meet Yu Bo in ten years to see who was more successful. Today is the day to meet at the appointment, and now the second senior brother is already the owner of a large business, living in a villa and driving a luxury car, which is very successful.

"Wang Jiayi, this is a drama stage, you have to put a little bit when you act. If you think about the past ten years, everything you have done is to prove your success. Now you are the big boss and the winner, you have won this ten-year competition! You have to release the emotions that have been suppressed in your heart for ten years! This release must be strong!" Zhang Ran stopped and corrected Wang Jiayi's performance just now.

Wang Jiayi scratched his head embarrassedly, and then burst out of more unbridled laughter, then walked to the upper right area, took out his mobile phone, and slowly looked at the photos that did not exist.

Da Da Da footsteps sounded, and Cao Bingkun and Wang Junyi hurriedly ran up. Cao Bingkun shouted as he ran: "Yu Bo, Yu Bo!" Wang Junyi looked around, and after seeing Wang Jiayi, he pulled Cao Bingkun to the middle and lower districts and asked, "Where is Yu Bo?"

Wang Jiayi walked over, raised his head slightly, and said in a mocking tone: "Two stupid and three stupid, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

……

Although the students in Zhang Ran's class are not professional actors, after three years of training, they all have a strong professional quality. After they got the script in the summer, they not only analyzed the roles they wanted to play, but also analyzed other roles accordingly. Therefore, although many of them did not get the roles they wanted, they got started quickly and the whole rehearsal went very smoothly.

Zhang Ran spent a day asking the students to go through the whole play, determine the area where the characters are located, the positions of the characters, and the relationship between the positions. Now the actors are still in the stage of familiarization, and this degree is not slow. In the next few days, Zhang Ran began to pick out the small movements of the performance to strengthen the communication between the actors during the performance.

At the end of the rehearsal on the afternoon of the 6th, Zhang Ran called all the students over: "The initial rehearsal of this play is almost underway, and in the next few days, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhou will take you to rehearse in detail, and start to pick out the lines and the hearts of the characters." I've got to go to Venice for the film festival, and we'll get back and we'll get back!"

Li Xinyue said with a smile: "Your teacher Zhang's movie "The Aviator" is a surprise film of the Venice Film Festival, the film festival will be announced tomorrow, and it will be screened in Venice the day after tomorrow!"

The students cheered and congratulated Zhang Ran, and then clamored for Zhang Ran to give a treat: "Teacher Zhang, you have to treat you today, right?"

"That's it, how can you do such a big happy event without inviting guests!"

"Teacher Zhang, where are we going to eat today?"

Even Li Xinyue, who was on the side, said: "You have to invite this meal today." ”

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Forget it today." Tomorrow morning's plane, I still have to go to heaven and earth, and I haven't packed my luggage yet. When I come back from the festival, I'll find a place to treat everyone!"

The students didn't entangle, they all looked forward to Zhang Ran's return from Venice, and they waved their hands and dispersed.

On September 7th, Zhang Ran took the crew of "Aviator" from Du International Airport and flew to Venice to prepare for the movie screening tomorrow night.

Shortly after the plane left the ground, the Venice Film Festival announced the surprise film of this year's festival, the Chinese film "The Aviator"!

"The Aviator" was completed on July 9. It's been less than two months now, and no one thought that "The Aviator" would make it to the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival. Regardless of the media, or the film is surprised and delighted after the news!

"The Aviator" has become a veritable surprise movie! )8
