Reeves had never played Eagle Catch Chicken and shook his head: "You can tell me the rules!"

Zhang Ran introduced the rules, one person pretends to be an eagle, one person pretends to be an old hen, and the rest are chickens. The chicks hold the old hen's back placket and pull one by one. The old hen protects the chicks with open arms, and the chicks follow in turn. The eagle rushes into the flock of chickens to chase left and right, sees the opportunity to pounce and catch the chicken, if it can't catch it, it still acts as the eagle, if it catches a chicken, the captured person changes to the eagle, and the original eagle changes to the chicken, and the game starts again.

After introducing the rules, Zhang Ran let the ten students he selected make a demonstration, then looked at Reeves and asked, "Do you understand?"

Reeves nodded: "It's time to go." ”

Zhang Ran asked Reeves to be an eagle, and the other ten students to be chickens, and called Zhou Zheng over to let him ** mother.

"Attention, boys, react quickly, don't let the eagles take you away. Mother Chicken Zhou Zheng saw Reeves rushing towards his right, and he reminded him while reaching out to stop him.

The students reacted quickly and ran to the left with a hula, and Reeves didn't catch anyone.

Reeves tried twice, first to the left, and when the students ran to the right, he suddenly changed lanes and lunged to the right, shouting, "Haha! ”

Only then did Zhou Zheng understand that Reeves was playing with the sound of attacking the west, and hurriedly rushed over to try to stop Reeves, but Reeves's movements were fast, he rushed past Zhou Zheng's side, and grabbed Gao Hang at the rear. Reeves smirked: "Haha, caught, caught!"

Cheng Hu saw Reeves wearing a Zhu Bajie mask fluttering and flashing, and couldn't help laughing: "I feel that they are not playing eagle to catch chickens, but completely wild boars catching chickens!

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Anyone who is more handsome than me is a pig's head!"

Cheng Hu laughed: "I think so too, but can playing this kind of children's game really train acting skills?"

Zhang Ran shook his head and said: "This is not training acting skills, but cultivating a feeling." After the students who study acting enter the school, many teachers will use a lot of children's games as practice, and tell the students that the task of this class is to play, and to play like when they were children. Let the students play handkerchiefs and eagles catch chickens. Frolicking, slapstick, is the way to get back to childhood through guò.

Mature actors are easy to act in, even though these people have good acting skills. But it is often lacking in contagion. When Ang Lee was filming "Sense and Sensibility", the two heroines were Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet was only 19 years old, and some things were more difficult for her, such as coping with the camera. Emma Thompson is an Oscar-winning actress. Skillful acting. She can effortlessly express four or five layers of emotion at once. But her performance is not as touching as Kate Winslet, and it lacks appeal, so Ang Lee has thought of a lot of ways to do it! It is especially important for an actor to remain innocent and childlike!"

Cheng Hu nodded thoughtfully: "I think Keanu is the kind of person who is more naïve, and his thoughts are really simple." ”

Zhang Ran glanced at Weiss and said: "As an actor, innocence is more precious than skill, and great artists are often childish people, because the source of art loves a simple and simple soul." This kind of naivety is not made, but comes from the heart, which is something that teachers can't teach. I also feel that there is an innocent side to Keanu's character. But his problem is that he has experienced too many things and has seen many events more thoroughly, and it is difficult for him to really get into the role, so his performance is superficial. ”

Cheng Hu and Reeves are very good friends, knowing that Reeves's acting skills are often criticized, he asked: "Can he become an actor with excellent acting skills through these trainings?"

Zhang Ran feels that Matthew McConaughey can break through himself, and there is no reason why Keanu Reeves can't do it. Anyone has the potential to become a good actor, and the key lies in how to discover it. He nodded, "It's a bit difficult, but I'll do my best to help him find out!"

After Reeves and the students played eagle and catch chickens a few times, Zhang Ran found a few more girls. Let them take Reeves to a game of hopscotch. Reeves was intrigued by the game and had a lot of fun.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the training resumed, this time for the real performance training.

Li Xinyue turned on the recorder. Matthew Lane's "The Wolf" is played, with light music with natural sounds such as streams, rain, and wind, which is very soothing and especially suitable for acting classes.

Zhang Ran looked at Reeves in front of him and gestured, "Keanu." Now take off your mask and sit on the ground, sitting cross-legged with your eyes slightly closed to eliminate distracting thoughts. ”

After Reeves took off his mask and sat down, he breathed calmly for more than ten seconds, and Zhang Ran said: "Now use your left hand to stroke your right hand and right arm, be careful not to touch your own arm, keep a distance of one centimeter, and slowly move your left hand up to the top of your head, then to your chest, and then put it in place." You have to feel the parts of your body, you have to feel your own existence, you have to feel the space around you. Now switch to your right hand, relax and don't think about anything. As an actor, you have to calm down and don't have distractions. ”

After Reeves did what Zhang Ran requested, Zhang Ran gave the next step: "Now bring your legs together, bend your knees, lean your thighs towards your abdomen, hold your calves with both hands, and slowly squat up." You are a seed, in the dirt, and it is pitch black all around. Feel the qiē around you, dark, damp, and cold. Okay, now your back goes to the dirt around you, arches hard, continues, keeps arching, hard! Okay, now you break through the dirt, stand up, slowly lift your hands, your hands are branches!"

Seed training is a relaxation exercise, similar to puppet training, in which the actor can train his imagination while relaxing, allowing them to build up their inner vision. Zhang Jingchu couldn't get into the seed practice when she first learned acting, she felt that believing that she was a seed was ridiculous, and she couldn't enter the situation, and she cried into tears.

Zhang Ran continued: "Now open your eyes, your hands are swaying like branches, don't be too stiff, relax, relax! You hear the birds chirping, the fragrance of flowers in the air, you have to feel this qiē." Now there's a fresh breeze blowing on your face, and it feels very comfortable. Your hands are swaying with the breeze! It's not a show, it's a feeling, and what you feel, you react! Relax, relax! Now a laser hits you in the face. It's not sunlight, it's lasers! You feel hot, it's very uncomfortable!"

Reeves' hands were held high, his hands still swinging. But his brow furrowed, and his head shook incessantly, as if a laser had really hit him in the face.

Zhang Ran nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Now this laser has moved to your hand." How do you express this state? action, action! good. Now the laser moves away and the sky starts to rain......"

Next, Zhang Ran began to describe different situations, snow, hail, wind, etc., and then he raised his voice and said, "Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck you!

Ryveston froze, his hands hanging down, as a sign that the branches had been destroyed by lightning.

Zhang Ran nodded: "Now you are a charred tree, keep it this way." Well, it's spring again. Your charred tree is now starting to grow leaves again and start growing again!"

Reeves' hands were raised again, held high, and gently swayed above his head like wicker swaying in the wind.

Zhang Ran clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Okay, the seed practice will be done here." Let's do the training to watch the basketball game!" he waved his hand and asked Zhou Zheng to move a chair over and let Reeves sit down. And then he explained, "This training is like this, you've seen basketball better than you've seen it, and now you're sitting in the audience and watching a game, and it's up to you to use your imagination as to which team to play, how they're playing." It also requires your imagination to be used!"

Reeves began to perform, his eyes staring ahead, frowning, smiling, clapping, sighing. Very serious interpretation of the whole state of a basketball lover watching the game.

After Reeves finished acting, Zhang Ran shook his head slightly and called him over: "Keanu, you don't have the storage of the basketball court in your heart, you haven't entered the prescribed situation." If you can't form a vision in your heart, if you can't see a qiē on the court, then your performance won't be real. You have to build a real basketball game scene in your heart so that your performance has the power to move people's hearts. There must be a home team and an away team in a game, which side of the court is the home team on, and where is the away team on the court? When you watch the game, your eyes will definitely follow the basketball, and it is impossible to stand still! In this way, let me make a demonstration! I will play the situation of our class participating in a basketball game!"

After speaking, Zhang Ran sat on a chair and began to perform. His eyes were staring straight ahead, his head and gaze moved back and forth to the left and right, and he couldn't stop shouting: "Jia Niliang, defend, defend! Cover him! What the hell, I didn't eat in the morning! Forget it, it's okay, come again!"

"Haha, it's in! Ji Chen, cast beautifully!" Zhang Ran slapped his thigh, stood up with his hands raised high, and cheered loudly. Immediately after, he looked to the left and smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Lei, I'm sorry, I'm so excited!"

After saying that, he sat down again, but just a second later, he shouted again: "Jia Niliang, what the hell are you doing?

Jia Niangliang's face was depressed, I was really shot while lying down!

Zhang Ran shouted and acted for a minute, then stopped and smiled: "How is it, understand?"

Although Zhang Ran spoke Chinese, Reeves could not understand, but what Zhang Ran conveyed he clearly felt. To be honest, he never dreamed that Zhang Ran would act so well and completely bring him into the situation. He seemed to have really seen shots, blocks, and rebounds, as if everything was alive in front of him.

Reeves admired Zhang Ran incomparably and said sincerely: "Your performance is vivid, infectious, and so wonderful! I understand, I'll do it again!"

Next, Reeves acted several more times, but he was never able to satisfy Zhang Ran. Reeves's performance has all the movements, even the expressions, but his heart has not formed a vision, and he has never been able to enter the prescribed situation.

In fact, it is okay to play "Time and Space Warrior" according to Reeves's current state, this movie mainly sells special effects and action, and relies on scenes to attract people. In fact, most sci-fi action movies do not have particularly high requirements for the acting skills of the actors, as long as the audience is not allowed to play.

But Zhang Ran always believes that the most important thing in movies is people, although "Time and Space Warrior" is a sci-fi action movie, it is also about people's growth and the kindness of people's hearts. If the actor Jason's inner change process can't be revealed, and the character image can't stand up, then the whole movie is a simple popcorn movie, which is not what he wants.

Zhang Ran rubbed his temples, and said in his heart, it seems that I am still too anxious, Keanu has not found his innocence, and he has to let him play!(~^~)Mobile phone users please visit wènhttp://mnet
