But Sid knows that this "newcomer" queen has been honed in the Australian theater for many years, and it is not a rough stone at all, but an out-and-out diamond, just waiting to ascend to her queen throne step by step!

"By the way, Sid, do you prefer an experiential approach or a performative approach?" Cate Blanchett asked a more professional question.

"Kate, you're an experientia, aren't you?" Sid asked without answering.

"Well, that's good. Kate Blanche nodded.

In her first Hollywood film "Elizabeth", Cate Blanchett not only hired teachers to teach classical English, studied a lot of biographies, but also went to museums to see related portraits and artworks, and also lost weight, bleached eyelashes and eyebrows, and shaved the hair on the top of her head.

So in the end, people saw a Queen Elizabeth who went from being young, ascending the throne to reigning in the world, and she was vividly interpreted.

This kind of fully immersive preparation is the same as Robert De Niro's actual work as a taxi driver for several months in preparation for "Taxi Driver", which is the standard experiential approach.

"Actually, I don't care about the way of experience and performance. Sid first threw out a seemingly contrarian opinion, "What I like is whether this method is really suitable for this actor." ”

"Because no matter how good the method is, if it doesn't fit and doesn't match, then it doesn't make any sense. Sid smiled faintly, "In terms of the choice of performance methods, my advice to actors is that there is no best way to perform in the world, only the most suitable way to perform." ”

Although these words were a bit tongue-twisting, the three Kate daughters nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, for this point, the most famous negative teaching material is the 10,000-year-old running actor Xiao Lizi, since he came into contact with Martin Sr. and Daniel Day Lewis, he has plunged into the quagmire of experiential school.

In the end, Xiao Lizi's original casual and natural performance method completely turned into a frowning and bitter and bitter performance.

But in fact, the experiential school is obviously not suitable for an idol actor like him.

Not to mention anything else, when he later acted in "The Wolf of Wall Street" with the middle-aged and turned-over Matthew McConaughey, he was often blindfolded by McConaughey's unconventional performances.

For example, there is a scene in which a Wall Street novice played by Xiao Li Zi is having breakfast with the dream mentor of the Wall Street flickering world played by McConaughey at a high-rise restaurant in Manhattan.

But halfway through the show, McConaughey suddenly began to beat his chest and hum, which made Little Plum look confused.

He looked out of the camera with a blindfolded face, and most of the audience in front of the screen didn't react, but in fact, here Xiao Lizi was asking for help from the off-camera director Martin Scorsese.

It wasn't until Lao Ma prompted Xiao Lizi to beat his chest with him that there was a scene of the two leading actors beating their chests in the later scene.

But in reality, this chest beating was McConaughey's warm-up before the show, and he just improvised to add it to the shoot.

It can be seen from here that Xiao Lizi is confused and dazed from time to time when facing the real experiential McConaughey, and some fans even say that in front of McConaughey, Xiao Lizi has become an idol star again.

"So what am I suitable for? Brother Sid. Lindsey asked curiously.

Sid smiled faintly, "Are you sure you want to know?"

"Of course. Lindsay nodded affirmatively.

Sid thought for a moment, then said, "Well, I was going to talk about it later, but since you've thought of that, I'll talk about it." ”

Hearing Sid's words, not only Lindsay's eyes widened with excitement, but even Kate and Nancy looked over.

"It's simple, hybrid. Sid said.

"Mix?" asked Lindsay and the other two women, confused, for no one had ever proposed such a practice.

"A mix of experiential and performative?" Cate Blanchett was even more incredulous.

"Not bad. Sid nodded, "Just like we did in Juno, when you need to understand a character, then investigating, researching, and learning about that character is of course essential. ”

"But that doesn't mean you're going to be the character. Sid pointed out that this is the most fundamental difference between the experiential school and the performance school, and the biggest point of immersive experiential performance is to require the actors to be able to achieve "the unity of human and human roles".

For example, in the legend, the actor is too deep into the play to pull out, and he still needs an assistant or psychiatrist to help or something, which is created by experiential actors.

"All the research, all the emotional experiences, are effective tools to help you play the role. to understand it, to master it. ”

"In this way, you don't have to erase your personality and completely incarnate a character. Instead, you can completely substitute some of your own small characteristics into the role, and finally deduce your unique self-characteristics. ”

Sid's words made Lindsay suddenly feel like he was in the clouds, and Cate Blanchett also listened to it with relish.

Although Sid's words are completely different from the stage plays and experiential teaching that she has been engaged in for many years, she also knows that the experiential performance method is more like a talent, which only a very few people can naturally master, rather than suitable for everyone.

In Sid's view, the experiential way is more like the so-called "natural sword bone" in martial arts, which is a kind of innate surname. Some people are naturally suitable, but not for most others, and if you have to force it, it will outweigh the losses.

After all, self-development should be guided according to the situation and give full play to its strengths, otherwise it will only get twice the result with half the effort and lose the big because of the small.

Moreover, even if Sid's hybrid approach is used, it is not impossible to perform excellent performances, such as the later youth version of Professor X, James McAvoy.

In the first ten years of his career, he either played inconspicuous small roles in "The Chronicles of Narnia", or was injected into award-winning films such as "The Last Dictatorship", and was stolen from the limelight by the outstanding protagonists.

And, no matter which of his early and mid-period films you watch, it's hard to associate him with the real experientialism (Daniel Day Lewis, Matthew McConaughey, etc.).

However, after grinding and groping for decades, he finally played Kevin, the protagonist of the 24-fold personality splitter, in the film "Split", which was originally not favored at all.

James McAvoy completely conquered the audience with his superb performance in the film, and among the split personalities he played, there were young and mischievous children, modest conservative women, and obsessive-compulsive control freak rebels.
