Chapter Seventy-Two: You Think It's a Stir-Frying
"Rapid changes in mood are not just based on facial expressions, they need to be matched by body movements, words used, the way you speak, and who you are expressing emotions to. ”
"For example, the most contradictory and simple way to cry and laugh, the first method is to complete the transformation of the two expressions in an instant, don't give the audience time to think, and you have to firmly attract the audience's thoughts with the latter emotion. However, if you don't do it well, it will be too stiff and difficult. ”
"In addition, you can take it step by step, slowly change, with different actions and tones, so that the audience can naturally follow your emotions......"
"Mr. Cao, what should I do if I often take a beat slow when I read the lines? Sometimes it's too late when I think about how to say it!"
"Practice more, think before shooting!"
"Mr. Cao, I have myopia, what should I do if I can't help but squint my eyes if I wear contact lenses?"
"Have myopia surgery and change careers!"
......
From the beginning of class, the classroom is a question-and-answer mode, and someone raised his hand immediately after Cao Baoping answered a question.
The people who were not named were not discouraged, they did not grab words, and everything seemed to be in order.
"Hey, is it all like this in class here?" After listening for almost an hour, Liu Dong couldn't help but poke Master Liu's arm again.
Master Liu, who was listening attentively, was a little unhappy when Liu Dong disturbed him like this, but he still turned his head and whispered, "The people who come here to take classes are all young actors like us, and many of them have never gone to acting school. ”
Hearing this, Liu Dong's eyes lit up, originally he thought that this so-called training class was for the teacher to read the book and talk about the experiential, methodical, and performance schools, and then give you a book like "My Artistic Life" and "Actor's Self-cultivation" to read by himself.
Now Liu Dong instantly became interested, actors like them who became monks halfway have not gone through systematic learning, and filming is all on their own, everyone will encounter all kinds of problems, which is also worth learning.
"Mr. Cao, what should I do if I want to play a character that is completely opposite to my personality and temper, sometimes I feel very awkward when I perform......"
Suddenly, Master Liu was named, and the girl was a little excited, and immediately stood up and said a lot.
And Cao Baoping thought a little earlier and gave the answer.
"In this case, there is no other way than to practice more and observe the words and deeds of characters who are similar to the role, but I advise you to take less of this kind of role, and it is better to take on more roles that meet your own characteristics before your acting skills are not mature enough. ”
Liu Dong rolled his eyes when he heard this, isn't this the same as not saying it, if you can't act, you won't take it, so why do you come to class.
How can these young actors choose so many roles, and some of them are good.
Sure enough, after listening to Cao Baoping's "suggestion", Master Liu couldn't help but pout, obviously a little disappointed.
Liu Dong remembered that he also had a problem, so he also raised his hand, but he was still a beat slower, and several people didn't reach him.
"Hello Mr. Cao, I am about to play a role similar to Gao Fu Shuai, and I am from a famous family, with a good demeanor and culture, how can I perform this feeling?"
Well?
This person is similar to my role, Liu Dong couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of the voice.
I***
Brother, you're going through the back door!
I saw that the classmate who asked the question was less than 168 tall, but he had a weight, and he was wearing a white tight-fitting long-sleeved shirt almost winter, and the lines on his body were clearly outlined.
Can you play a rich and handsome man just like this dead fat house? Killing this fat man, Liu Dong didn't believe it.
However, Liu Dong still wanted to listen to Cao Baoping's advice and see if there was anything he could learn from.
Unlike Liu Dong, Cao Baoping didn't react to this question at all, as if it was normal for a Humpty Dumpty to ask this.
"I think to myself, anyway, the vast majority of ordinary audiences have never seen a real rich and handsome man in their lives, so I really can't think of it, so I go to the movies and see how others act!"
Sure enough, there is still no constructive opinion at all, which is the same as not saying it!
This made Liu Dong, who originally wanted to ask a question, lose interest, and probably got the same answer.
Time passed slowly, and the morning passed quickly, and the class ended on time at twelve o'clock at noon.
During this time, Liu Dong carefully thought about all the questions Cao Baoping answered, and some seemingly perfunctory words were actually very reasonable.
For example, Liu Shishi's question, how to play a role that is completely opposite to his own personality.
Generally, directors will give priority to actors who match the character when casting, after all, not everyone has superb acting skills and can be perfectly qualified for most roles.
The vast majority of actors actually don't have very good acting skills, and anyone can cry with joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, but people with different personalities, different ages, and different identities and family backgrounds express their emotions in different ways.
Sometimes it is said that an actor is unlucky, he has made a lot of films and has not become popular, and he has lost so many resources, but in fact, as long as he chooses the right role, if the director's ability is not bad, he will not be famous.
Acting in true colors is the best performance, no matter how good the acting skills are, it will not have a good effect if an actor plays a role that is completely opposite to himself.
For example, you let Fa Ge play "Drunken Fist", and let Liang Chaowei play "The King of Comedy".
And Liu Dong's own question also has an answer, where have the common people seen the real rich and handsome and famous, watch more movies and learn to act.
"Why are you still in a daze after class?" Liu Dong couldn't help but remind when he found that Master Liu was still there when he was about to leave.
"Ahh I feel that the training class is useless, I have been here for more than a month and have not learned anything at all!" "Master Liu just sat up and then fell down again, with a look of loss.
"Actually, it's still somewhat useful, think about Mr. Cao's words, forget about the role that is not suitable for you, if you mess up, it will leave a bad impression on the audience, the director and even the agency, and you don't think it will have a good impact. Liu Dong persuaded.
Master Liu nodded in distress, "I know, someone in our company messed up two roles in a row before, and now the company won't arrange roles for him." ”
"But now this role is very important, and my agent is also helping to fight for it!"
Liu Dong immediately said, "Fire your agent, this kind of person who only cares about immediate interests will not help you much." ”
Master Liu rolled his eyes when he heard this, grinned, and said angrily, "You think it's stir-fry, and Sister Zhang is very good to me, how can I take revenge!"
