Chapter 109: Which to Choose

The experiential school, the epidemiological school and the method school, which are derived from Stanivlawski's basic performance theory, Liu La has naturally heard of it. I have heard of it, but I have never come into contact with it, because this set of theories is an American thing, and the acting courses we learn in China are from the former Soviet Union.

At that time, the existence of the US imperialists, which they thought was ****** at first sound, naturally did not appear in our textbooks.

And the teacher must teach according to the textbook, if there is no textbook, then the student will inevitably not learn, at most the teacher will chat a few words casually during class, but will not say too much. However, when students graduate, if they continue to work in this industry, they will definitely be exposed to the current mainstream and more convincing performance genre.

The main difference between the two is that the former pays more attention to the excavation of inner feelings, while the latter pays more attention to the appearance of the body.

The former mainly learns four kinds of courses - 1. Relaxation training. 2. Focus on training. 3. Sensory memory training. 4. Emotional memory training. And the lines and shapes and the like belong to the actor's own choice, you can learn by yourself, but the school doesn't force it, it can be regarded as an elective.

The latter, that is, in our country, is divided into several basic courses such as language skills courses, vocal music courses, physical courses, and film performance body language studies. There is a common saying that domestic actors really start to learn acting skills from the moment they graduate.

Therefore, many times don't scold domestic actors for not looking good at acting, after all, when we learn acting in China, acting only accounts for a small part of it, and more often we learn the skills of dance and drama performance......

Seeing Liu La's expression, Zhou Gongzi was happy: "Hey, you really don't know?" ”

Liu La touched his head and shook his head decisively: "You tell me about it." ”

"Okay then, when you're done, you can go to sleep for me." Zhou Gongzi sat next to Liu La: "Let's talk about the experience school first, this is the simplest, what is important is the expression of true feelings, not exaggerated, not pretentious." To give you the simplest example, if you want to perform a pain, if you perform hard, there will definitely be flaws, and the performance will not be in place. ”

"But what if you secretly pinch yourself when it hurts?" As he spoke, Zhou Gongzi reached out and twisted it vigorously on Liu La's arm.

"Oops, hey, you're pushing too hard." Liu La's painful jumping feet screamed.

Zhou Gongzi smiled secretly: "Look, if you perform like this, it's real, there is no flaw, this is the most basic theory of the experiential school, that's how the American teacher I found taught me, and when he went to school, his teacher also taught him like this." ”

Zhou Gongzi thought for a while: "For another example, I remember reading the script, don't you have a scene tomorrow where you hit your head on a telephone pole?" ”

"Stop, you wait a minute," Hearing Zhou Gongzi's words, Liu Lahao jumped up.

"Good fellows! You actors are so wild now! Liu La hurriedly stared at Zhou Gongzi: "I said you wouldn't be going to hit the wall yourself to show me a demonstration, right?" I hit one downstairs just now. ”

"What's the mess? Are you sick? What wall am I hitting? Zhou Gongzi glanced at him: "I mean that when you perform tomorrow, you can really hit it, and the effect is absolutely real." It's that you must not be stupid, don't hit it violently, three points are real, seven points are acting, and the work that comes out in this way is good enough. ”

After a pause, Zhou Gongzi said: "This genre requires a high degree of dedication, for example, if you play an AIDS patient, then you must lose weight." If you play a strict insomniac, then you can't sleep. If you're playing a psychopath, then you have to keep looking and imitating the material about it. ”

"Yes, I see." Hearing Zhou Gongzi's words, Liu La thought thoughtfully, it seems that Wang Baoqiang should be an actor of this genre.

"Then there are the Epixiàn School and the Method School, but because the two are relatively similar, everyone usually mentions the Method School more." Zhou Gongzi continued to explain: "The so-called table xiàn school is a bit like our domestic professional course, exaggerated expressions, rich body movements, and fierce emotional outbursts, which cannot be said to be bad, but in comparison, this style seems to be more suitable for stage performances such as dramas." ”

"And the method school is to throw away those exaggerated facial expressions on the basis of the Xiàn school, and add more emotional expressions, so as to achieve a kind of sublimation, speaking of which, I should be regarded as this faction."

Zhou Gongzi glanced at Liu La: "The core content of this genre is the use of emotional memory. That is, when needed, immediately pull out your hidden memories and incarnate yourself into the character you play. ”

"You can talk about it in detail, I don't understand this too much." Liu La's expression looked a little confused.

Zhou Gongzi thought for a while: "Let's give you an example, for example, if you want to act in such a scene, your good buddy Li Sauerkraut died of food poisoning, and you have to pay tribute to him." Two days before the start of filming, you have to brew a good love in advance, because this scene is sad, so you have to dig out similar feelings in your memory. Let's say your parents divorced when you were three years old. Your pet dog is dying of old age. An elder in your family is terminally ill. These memories are excavated and stored, and with the director's action, you can immediately enter the state. ”

"And we often hear actors say that they experience life, which is a typical methodistic. Methodism requires people to be consistent, and if you want to do this, at least you have to know what the real life state of the character you play is like. Zhou Gongzi pointed to himself: "Let's say me, after I decided to take this play, I went to experience the life of a taxi driver for a week." However, it is precisely because of this way of acting that methodist actors are prone to depression, or unable to jump out of the role, or even commit suicide because of it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Gongzi looked at Liu La seriously: "Xiaoliu, if you want to become an excellent actor, at the very least, you have to have your own performance genre." Of course, this is not absolute, a really good actor should be a fusion of several genres, but that's all later, before that, you need a performance method that suits you, which will be of great help to your future career. ”

If there was a mirror in front of Liu Ra at this time, then he would find that his current expression was a big dumb word.

Originally, he just wanted to come over and talk to Zhou Gongzi about the performance, and by the way, he was close to it. Unexpectedly, I heard a successful actor from Zhou Gongzi, and Liu La really felt shocked and moved by the analysis of the entire performance method at the moment.

"I know, Sister Zhou, thank you." Liu La thanked Zhou Gongzi preciously.

"Alright, get out of here, it's time for my beauty sleep." Zhou Gongzi waved his hand like catching a fly......
