Chapter 108: Improved acting skills

After completing an agreement with Uncle Abe, Kiyoshi Sakamoto began to follow Abe Kuan and learn how to act.

Sometimes, a good actor is not necessarily a good acting teacher.

Because acting skills are such things, only superficial things can be taught systematically, such as: voice, lines, and body, these three categories.

Voices and lines.

Language and voice are important tools for actors to engage in professional performance activities, which require clear and loud transmission to make the audience hear the lines clearly, and also need to have a pleasant and appealing sound quality, which can not only give people a beautiful enjoyment, but also attract the audience to have emotional resonance.

It is necessary to learn to deal with tone and intonation, and master the rhythm of lines and the personality skills of language pronunciation and modeling.

The lines should be clear, when speaking the lines, there should be no mixture of breath and voice, and it should be coherent, in a line, there can be no pause, there can be no pause.

Form.

Simply put, it's body, form, movement. The purpose of physical training is to enable them to artistically reproduce the physical representation, manners and demeanor of the characters, and then accurately express the thoughts and feelings of the characters, and create an artistic image with distinctive personalities.

To this end, the actor's body must be relaxed and flexible, coordinate freely, have a clear outline of action, be intimidated, sensitive, and plastic.

Able to convey both emotions and intentions, and good at capturing and simulating the external characteristics of various characters, in order to adapt to the needs of playing characters of different ages, occupations, personalities, and the evolution of the personality of the same character at different moments.

The most important performance is the combination of voice, lines, and body, which is also a comprehensive embodiment of a person's sensibility, judgment, and ability to choose, understand, and express the work.

This is also the final stage of actor training.

However, if you don't learn the first three categories well, you can't perform.

And acting experience is originally a precious thing that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, so many times, when training a new actor, after training the voice, lines and body, some old actors are called to teach the experience of acting, but not everyone can get some experience from it.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto learned voice, lines, and body things from the acting teacher that Sony found for him, and he learned it very well.

However, I just can't experience the acting experience of the acting teacher, so when I first filmed "Dragon Sakura", I didn't perform something that had too much soul in the character.

In the final analysis, it's because Kiyoshi Sakamoto has too little acting experience.

However, after finding an experienced actor like Abe Kan as his acting teacher, he should be able to learn a lot.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto thinks so.

So, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't have his own role, he was on the scene, watching Abekuan's performance, and paying attention to his every move all the time.

Originally, the hot-blooded drama "Dragon Sakura", the soul character, the male number one is Abe Kuan, so his role, undoubtedly, is the most among everyone, so in the duration of filming, it is also a long time, sometimes at the end of a day, in eight or nine hours of shooting, Abe Kuan has no chance to rest.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also followed Abe Kuan's shooting, learning how to act, and at the same time handing some water to Abe Kuan, handing some towels or something, just like a little follower of Abe Kuan.

After Abe finished filming, Kiyoshi Sakamoto will start his guitar teaching class.

In order to teach Uncle Abe Kuan to play the guitar, Sakamoto himself also specially called Uncle Ishida, and brought two guitars from the company, his personal favorite, and gave one of them directly to Abe Kuan.

Abe was surprised by this, and when asked why he gave him a guitar, Kiyoshi Sakamoto replied, "Beginners, it's important to have a good guitar." ”

Such words and actions also made Abe Kuan more attentive when teaching Sakamoto Kiyoshi to act...

From the second day of the filming of "Dragon Sakura", the crew all knew that there must be some agreement or contract between Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Abe Kan.

Because, when Abe Kuan was filming his own scene, Sakamoto was like a little fan brother, carrying an actor's chair, sitting on the scene, and watching Abe Kuan's performance seriously.

After all, the character played by Sakamoto is just a soy sauce player, to put it nicely, the male number three.

Unlike Tomohisa Yamashita and Masami Nagasawa, the role is quite heavy.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto was at the scene, very idle.

That's why Kiyoshi Sakamoto often goes to watch Abe's performances and wants to learn something from them.

And after the end of the shooting task every day, Abe Kuan will sit with Sakamoto Kiyoshi and guide Sakamoto Kiyoshi to perform what is wrong today, or where it can be better for you, and after discussing the performance, the two will take out their guitars and enter the "Sakamoto Guitar Teaching Class".

So, if you can't find Abe Kuan or Sakamoto Kiyoshi on the scene, the staff will know that the two must be in the rest shed again, either "Abe Acting Classroom" or "Sakamoto Guitar Class", they don't have their own things to do like other actors.

Time keeps moving forward ...

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's strong learning ability, under the guidance of Abe Kuan, was quickly revealed.

Originally, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's various acting skills were far beyond those of ordinary rookie actors.

It's just that when performing the inner emotions of the character, it's a little empty, and this shortcoming, with the help of Abe Kuan, Sakamoto Kiyoshi quickly found his own way of acting.

That's mash-up.

A combination of three types of performance, experiential, expressive, and methodological.

Because thanks to his strong memory ability, Sakamoto Kiyoshi will remember everything he has seen in his mind, so when performing, this ability is also vividly expressed.

When it is time to enter the play, Kiyoshi Sakamoto will extract the performance clips of Abe Kan from his brain, and then through his own learning ability, he will put his own scene in Abe Kan's scene, just like Abe Kan's upper body, and deeply immerse himself in the inner world of this character.

And when the performance needs to be more superficial, what Kiyoshi Sakamoto learned from the acting teacher can already cope with it.

Soon, a week after the filming of "Dragon Sakura" started, director Takashi Komatsu, as well as the screenwriter who is very optimistic about Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Qin Jianri, were very pleasantly surprised to find that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

"It seems that the little guy you recommended has good acting skills, and in terms of lines and body language, he is a little better than Yamashita and Nagasawa. In the director's rest room, director Takashi Komatsu said while holding the steaming coffee in his hand and the screenwriter Qin Jianri, who was sitting opposite.

A week after the start of filming, the whole crew slowly found their senses, and all kinds of filming work went smoothly, so I was able to have a few hours of rest today.

And as a director who has always controlled the audience, Takashi Komatsu can also be busy and take a break with Qin Jian.

"I didn't expect that Sakamoto's acting skills had improved so much, and sure enough, he was not only a genius in music, but also a genius in acting... "As a singer who advocates Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who has never acted once, to recruit people, Qin Jian's daily pressure is not small.

Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto's popularity and fame can make the TV series attract more audiences, after all, this is TBS's summer ambition, and it is not good to find a newcomer in acting.

However, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto was filmed for the first time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's performance was still very passable, the lines and body language were in place, but there was a little jerky and didn't show the emotions of the character too much, that's all.

Even such a performance has made the director and screenwriter let go of the stone in their hearts.

However, at the same time, the two began to have another kind of thought about Sakamoto.

That is, since Kiyoshi Sakamoto is so young, his acting skills are already quite solid, so if he improves a little more, won't it make the whole drama more perfect and interesting?

Therefore, the two decided not to let Sakamoto Kiyoshi pass like this, and "polished" Sakamoto a little, so as to see if they could stimulate Sakamoto Kiyoshi's potential.

As a result, Kiyoshi Sakamoto himself found a way to improve himself, that is, he found Abe Kan as his acting teacher.

Under his guidance, Sakamoto Kiyoshi made progress, which is obvious to all, and it is also very gratifying for Takashi Komatsu and Qin Jianri.

"It doesn't matter if he's a genius actor or not, anyway, this kind of acting skills is good enough, playing a supporting role that doesn't have a lot of roles, you don't need such a good performance at all, too good acting skills, but it will steal the light of the protagonist, of course, I'm talking about Yamashita-san, not Abe-san. Director Takashi Komatsu also recognizes Sakamoto Kiyoshi's current acting skills, Sakamoto Kiyoshi a week ago is completely different from Sakamoto Kiyoshi a week later.

But now, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's acting skills have improved a lot, which makes him feel a little bad.

Because, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is just a small male No. 3, and that kind of acting skills will dominate the crowd.

"Well, I've thought about this too. However, have you ever thought that if his role is increased a little more, will it be more interesting?" Qin Jianri touched the beard of his chin and said such an idea.

"You mean, add drama?" In Japanese dramas, directors often follow the opinions of the screenwriter, because during filming, it is possible for the screenwriter to constantly change the script.

"Well, that's what I thought... ”

The two were in the director's studio and started a discussion about Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

And the party, Kiyoshi Sakamoto at this time, was already with the main actors of "Dragon Sakura" at a famous kaiseki restaurant in Yokohama, Kanagawa.

The idea of coming to eat kaiseki cuisine is the idea of a big foodie, Yui Aragaki.

Before coming to Yokohama, Gakki searched for a gourmet restaurant here, and found this kaiseki restaurant.

During the filming, I didn't have a chance to come out to eat, but I just had a few hours off today, so Gakki thought about calling Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masami Nagasawa, and the three of them went to eat.

When Kiyoshi Sakamoto learned about it, he thought that it would be better for the three of them to go together.

So he called his "acting teacher" Abe Kuan, as well as the beautiful "teacher" Kyoko Hasegawa, and the other members of the dragon cherry six.

So, this is the situation where a group of people appeared at a famous kaiseki restaurant in Yokohama.

"This is the first collective activity of the Dragon Sakura crew, well, it's very commemorative. Kiyoshi Sakamoto was eating delicious kaiseki cuisine while looking at Abe Kan, Yamashita and others who were sitting around.
