Chapter 110: Zoom in
The script of "Richard III" has just taken shape, completely following the storyline of the original play, but rendering a strong Chinese color in it, which is an extremely bold attempt even in the eyes of insiders, but undoubtedly, it is extremely successful from the perspective of the effect of the performance, and it also confirms that the core connotation of the adaptor Wang Xiaoying's "return to the classics" is correct.
Whether it is the Chinese elements or the high scary attendance, it is not the focus of Lu Yan's attention.
He is an actor, so his focus is all on the actors, although he does not know the names of the actors on stage, but this does not prevent him from observing and appreciating.
What touched him the most was not the lines, but one of the actions.
In the play, Richard III was angry and smashed the watermelon with his cane, he sat in the front row, and the process was almost completely presented in front of his eyes, the crutches smashed the watermelon, and slammed it on the stage, with a sonorous sound, and the watermelon juice splashed everywhere, spilling a small half of the stage, which startled him sitting in front of him.
But Lu Yan was in no mood to pay attention to these, his eyes were firmly fixed on the broken watermelon on the stage, the action just now was too shocking, there was almost no such acting method when filming the TV series, if needed, props or later production can produce the same effect, the other point is his own performance style, his performance is introverted, through introverted to achieve the truth of the performance, through language and action to express the character's heart and thoughts, even if Feng Tianci among the heroes of Yongle has a certain degree of exaggeration, But also within this large range.
He almost no longer pays attention to the plot in the future, because he is thinking about the action of "Richard III" throughout the second half, and he feels that through that action, he seems to have touched a little bit of the context of the drama, heavy makeup and the wide and dim stage do not need to be restrained, it needs to be the ultimate performance and release, whether it is the joys and sorrows of the characters, and if this kind of performance is placed in TV movies, it seems very exaggerated.
After "Richard III" was finished, Lu Yan didn't watch "Mr. Lu Xun" again, he nested at home all day, and his mind kept recalling the previous clips of "Hurricane", the more he thought about it, the more he felt full of passion, as if he was about to gush out.
Occasionally, when he had a flash of inspiration, he would immediately stand up and perform: "Flowers, these are the flowers I want...... I shouted for my pleasure, ambiguity became sharp, cruelty became vivid, love the opposite sex, hammered dignity!
Is this the essence?
Essence!
When the essence is exposed to fait accompli, it shows vulnerability, it paralyzes, but I rush up and blow them to pieces! ”
As if tirelessly, he practiced over and over again, and did not face the mirror, although he can't catch up with Sun Li and Jiang Xu in his delicate grasp now, but he doesn't need to reflect on his mistakes through the mirror, what is wrong, he can feel it when he performs by himself.
Until it was dark, Lu Yan was about to do it again, but he didn't stumble under his feet, fortunately the room was not big, he was standing behind the sofa, and reached out in time to support the back of the chair.
After a while, he stood up and shook his dizzy head, feeling a little unbelievable that he had practiced for most of the day without eating or drinking.
Although I still feel that I am still unsatisfied, my body has reached its limit, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the performance the day after tomorrow will have to be delayed.
went downstairs, ate three bowls of noodles, and after returning to the house, he did not continue to practice, but read the script honestly, and now he completely understands the biggest difference between drama and film and television.
Enlargement, everything in the drama is magnified, or more straightforward, everything is completely magnified and presented in front of the audience.
He also knew the disadvantages of working behind closed doors, just like before, he felt that he acted very well, but when he arrived at Chen Baoguo, it was nondescript, so at noon the next day, Lu Yan took a taxi to Chen Baoguo.
The house he rented was near the theater, more than ten kilometers away from Chen Baoguo, but he was not familiar with the place in the capital, and he didn't know which bus to take, so he could only take a taxi.
When he arrived at the gate of the community, Lu Yan wanted to go in directly, but the security guard at the door saw him alive, and seeing that he was dressed up, he didn't look like a rich man who could live in the community, no matter what Lu Yan said, he wouldn't let him in.
Lu Yan called Chen Baoguo, and wanted him to say a word to the door, but after standing for a while, Zhao Kui'e came out from inside.
Lu Yan took two steps forward and said, "Hey, Master, why did you come here in person." ”
There are only about a dozen villas in the entire community, and the security guard obviously knows Zhao Kui'e, and when he saw her coming, he also said, "Teacher Zhao." ”
Zhao Kui'e smiled at him and said, "Your teacher is on a business trip, I'll come over to take a look", then turned his head and said to the security guard: "He is also half of my son, don't stop me when I come over in the future." ”
The security guard smiled awkwardly and said, "Teacher Zhao, don't worry, it will definitely not be." ”
Zhao Kui'e nodded, and said to Lu Yan: "Let's go, let's go home", and said as she walked: "People are in the wind and rain all day long, and it's not easy to make money, don't take it to heart." ”
Lu Yan said: "How can you, you can't get angry about this matter." ”
Zhao Kui'e glanced at him and said: "No, it's the best, I'm afraid of you young people, you will go up indiscriminately, and I'm not afraid of your jokes, your brother started with the security guard at the door when he came back two years ago." ”
"Hmm" The smile on Lu Yan's face froze for a moment, and the "younger brother" that Zhao Kui'e said should be her son.
When he got home, Zhao Kui'e let him sit, poured him a glass of water, and sat on the other side, and said: "I said that you came here last time, and I didn't say anything if you had anything, your teacher is a strong temper, and no one can use his words when he comes, and he has no other hobbies in his life, but there is one, and the trick is really better than life, in fact, it is also for your good, and you are also an apprentice."
Lu Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master, what you said made me embarrassed, I was indeed a little resentful at the time, but at that moment, I knew that the teacher was thinking about me." ”
Zhao Kui'e looked at his eyes for a while before smiling and said, "You just know, it would be nice if Yuewei was half as sensible as you, oh, I haven't told you yet, your brother's name is Yuewei." ”
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Alas, it's not that I didn't watch it with your teacher, it was pretty good at first, but in the past few years, it has become more and more unpleasant, and I .......have been messing around outside all day long."
After chatting with Zhao Kui'e for half an hour, Lu Yan looked at the time and said, "Master, then I'll go back first." ”
Zhao Kui'e's previous understanding of Lu Yan was mostly from her husband and the people in the bloody romantic crew, although today was only a half-hour exchange, but Lu Yan gave him a very good impression, so he said: "What are you going back, I'm eating at home today, just talk to me", his tone paused, and said: "It's not easy for you to work hard in the capital alone, if you have any difficulties, don't hold back your silence and see anything other than your teacher and mother." ”
Lu Yan said with a smile: "There is indeed something I want to trouble you, that is, I have a little idea of drama, and I don't know if it's right or not, and I want you to help me as a staff officer." ”
Zhao Kui'e's eyes lit up, shook her head and smiled: "This is the purpose of your coming here today, no wonder your teacher will take you as an apprentice, it's really like a gathering, come, you talk about it." ”
Lu Yan scratched his head and said, "I can't say it, so I'll play it for you directly." ”
Zhao Kui'e was actually quite curious about the acting skills of the apprentice her husband accepted, and without much hesitation, she said: "Well, then you play a part for me to see."
Lu Yan sat and thought about it for a while, and then took the sixth and last paragraph of "Hurricane", a monologue from "The Legend of the White Snake", because the age span of the characters is relatively large, in his opinion, this part is the most difficult to play, even if it is wrong, it is difficult for him to detect it.
"When I was a child, I was not in good health, and my mother felt that the child was not easy to raise, so she asked me to be a monk, as if.... When I was nine years old, I went to my cousin's house and saw her eyes..... Hehe..... On December 10, 1968, I am leaving, walking in the process of "cultural revolution", walking into the ranks of the ****, I am leaving......
Oh, the lyrics I wrote for the movie "Children of the Storm", accidentally spilled tea, the second paragraph is a little unclear, hehe, writing lyrics taboo at the beginning with verbs, up, up, the power behind must be great, otherwise I can't bear the verbs in front, write casually....."
After the performance, Lu Yan stopped and asked, "Master, do you see?" ”
"Tian Qinxin's "Hurricane"?"
Lu Yan's eyes lit up, this master was really powerful, she knew the source as soon as she heard the lines, and nodded: "Well, I just played the last paragraph." ”
Zhao Kui'e thought for a while, then shook her head and smiled: "God is there, but you can't be like this on stage, you are an actor, you can't think about anything else when you perform." ”
Lu Yanyan's face turned slightly red when he heard this, he could be very open when he was on stage, but in front of Zhao Kui'e, an elder, he still felt a little constrained, but he didn't expect Zhao Kui'e to see it.
"Well, I remembered"
After eating with Zhao Kui'e, Lu Yan went back to the house, he still wanted to talk to Zhao Kui'e about the drama, but she had to go to school in the afternoon.
Zhao Kui'e and Chen Baoguo are two completely different teaching methods, Chen Baoguo's teaching is completely from the whole, more concepts and theories, many of which have to rely on Lu Yan to think and understand by himself.
And Zhao Kui'e rarely says theoretical things, which may be related to her identity as a teacher, and she will give a lot of examples when explaining, some of the things that happened around her, and some of them are clips from classic movies and television, which are easy to understand.
In this process, Lu Yan also discovered his own shortcomings, and he found that he had never watched many classic film and television clips that Zhao Kui'e said.
