Chapter 15 Accumulation

At the end of the filming of "Boys Over Flowers", Li Zheng's life became simple and repetitive.

Company, acting class, home, three points and one line.

The acting class was signed up by Park Seung-deok for Lee Jung, and the teacher who taught acting was said to be a professor in the drama department of Chung-Ang University in South Korea.

As for the level, in Li Zheng's opinion, compared to the acting classes he has taken abroad, he is somewhat dogmatic and rigid, but he can also learn some acting skills that are different from those in the West, so although the level is a little lower in his opinion, he also goes to class on time every day and is not absent.

There are more than a dozen students in the acting class, including artists from the same company as Li Zheng, as well as other companies or without a brokerage company. Li Zheng is not familiar with most of them, and he has no idea of deep friendship.

In the teaching room, the acting teacher is teaching.

"Performing arts is the art of shaping the image of the actor himself, and if a person wants to become a competent actor, he should at least have the 'seven powers' and 'four senses'.

So, what are the 'Seven Forces and Four Senses'?

The 'Seven Forces' are keen and meticulous observation, positive and stable attention, rich and active imagination, keen and sincere sensibility, true, accurate and reasonable judgment and thinking, sensitive and delicate adaptability, and distinctive physical and linguistic expression.

The "four senses" are a sense of reality, a sense of image, a sense of humor and a sense of rhythm.

What are your own conditions, whether you are an actor, we not only have to look at your external conditions, but also your internal quality, as well as your understanding, imagination, sensibility, and expressiveness?

Because acting is the art of human performance, the actor himself is the tool of creation, the material of creation, and finally the finished product of creation.

If this piece of material is not good, it is impossible to complete the task of an actor - to create a vivid, distinct, and living character image, so if you want to become a good actor, you need an actor to tap his own characteristics and potential from many aspects......"

"Next, let's do another round of sensory acting.

Sensory performance practice includes human hearing, taste, smell, skin, etc., and feeling and not feeling in performance creation is an important indicator of the quality and depth of performance. Only by mastering the external sensations can we gradually and deeply grasp the internal physiological sensations, psychological sensations, subtle emotional sensations and emotional sensations.

Now let's start with the taste exercise...... Let's say you're eating fruit, and you take a bite of it and suddenly it feels very sour...... Then comes the sweet ...... And then there's the bitter ...... Hot...... Astringent......

Now imagine that you are alone in a barren desert, there is no one around you, you feel very hot, you are very thirsty, your stomach is very hungry, you are alone, surrounded by endless yellow sand, as far as the eye can see, you can't see the end, you can't see hope, at this time all kinds of emotions come to your heart, your skin burns...... Loneliness, despair, and fear begin to grow in my heart...... But you can't give up, there's someone waiting for you outside the desert...... You can't let TA down...... You regain your strength, you falter, step by step towards the front......"

"Alright, that's the end of today's lesson. In this class, we are learning the actor's 'seven forces and four senses', and the students should remember to consolidate it when they go back, and we'll see you in the next class. ”

After finishing the class, Li Zheng packed up his things and was about to leave, when a female classmate who was studying acting in the same class came over with a smile and invited him: "Kang Junhyuk, everyone decided to go to the bar together later, you can go too." ”

"Thank you. ”

Li Zheng put his backpack on his shoulder and smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I still have some things to deal with later, I can't go, let's go, I wish you a good time." ”

Smiling apologetically at the female classmate again, Li Zheng had just walked out of the door with his front foot, and a strange voice of yin and yang sounded behind him.

I only heard a male classmate say in a dark voice, "Hmph! What are you pretending to be? How can it be so coincidental? Every time you call him, he has something to do." I think it's because people think very highly of themselves, sign up with big companies, and look down on us little people. ”

I heard another male classmate persuade the other party seemingly well-intentionedly: "How can you say that, maybe someone is really in trouble." People are busy people, and they are busy every day. Like us, we are too idle compared to others, so we all have to work harder. ”

Finally, the voice of the female classmate, "Okay, okay, let's say a few words, let's clean up and leave." By the way, which bar are we going to......"

Hearing this, Li Zheng's expression was indifferent, his steps did not stop, and he walked slowly towards the elevator, and as he gradually moved away, the voice in the teaching room became softer and softer, and he was gradually left behind.

Similar remarks, from childhood to adulthood, Li Zheng has heard countless things, and he has long been immune, and he can't be interested in the other party's theory at all. For him, the lion is never with the flock. For the taunts of those who are destined to lose, the grumbling of those who complain, he does not want to waste time with those people, and with these times, it is far better to do something more meaningful.

After returning home and rinsing briefly, Li Zheng turned on the computer and went to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee while waiting for the time to turn on.

After the coffee is brewed, he pours a cup, brings it to the computer desk, prepares the pen and paper for recording, then opens the document named "Movie" on the desktop, finds the one he plans to study, clicks play, and starts to watch it seriously.

Since deciding to debut as an actor, when there is no work and arrangement, Li Zheng will spend a lot of time watching classic film and television works at home and abroad every day, learning how those actors with superb acting skills will make choices in the face of different plots and scenes.

Stella-Adler, one of the three founding masters of American realist performance, once said - In-your-choices-lies-your-talent (in your choice, your talent is explained).

The actor's performance, for ordinary audiences, it is natural to laugh in the happy plot and cry in the sad plot. However, these laughs and cries are a kind of "choice", and there are a thousand ways to laugh and a thousand ways to cry, and there are countless rehearsals behind this to determine which one is presented on the final stage.

Many people mistakenly think that natural expressions and sincere emotions are acting skills, but that is just the basic skill of an actor. What really tests kung fu is how different actors will choose under the same plot, which is also the essential difference between an actor and an ordinary actor.

The same word, written by different people, will have different forms.

Just like calligraphy, the same practice of writing, some people write to become great calligraphers, and some people have difficult words to see. The same goes for actors in roles. It's not that in a popular film and television drama, that actor is a big hit, and it will be the same if another actor is changed.

The role makes the actor, but in the same way, the actor also makes the role.
