What kind of character is Rooney?

After Zheng Junhe's enlightenment and reminder, Zheng Yucheng gradually changed his previous anxious mentality, thinking about it, the TV series has already followed, and it is superfluous to worry about it, it is better to put on a good posture and play his role in the play seriously. Thinking so, Zheng Yucheng opened the script of "Mr. Goodbye" and watched it, while secretly summarizing it in his heart.

Xu is used to writing jokes when he was a gagman before, and Zheng Yucheng also habitually holds a pen and starts to record when referring to his own characters.

In South Korea, there are no longer a few same-sex-related film and television dramas, especially in the film industry, same-sex love entanglements have always been the focus of directors' pursuit. The first gay film in Korea was a work called "Jealousy", which was filmed in 1960. This work tells the story of the love between a pair of sworn sisters, which caused a great sensation at the time.

The gay film that really came into people's attention was "Abstinence" in 1976, in which director Kim so-hyung portrayed the subtle cohabitation of two sexually repressed women, showing the possibility of love between people of the same sex. The film was also praised as an "unfinished work" at the 2000 Seoul Queer Film Festival.

In the 90s of the last century, homosexuality became a social topic, and many movies with this theme emerged for a while. Hei is influenced by the Korean social system, and most same-sex films are full of oppressive and dark tones, and the director seems to like to use this kind of filming technique to vaguely implicate the gloomy and repressive attitude of the public society towards homosexuality.

Since then, although the "Road Movie" released in 2002 has caused huge controversy, the movie directly depicts the ** scene between men and men, and the scene of the two male protagonists hugging each other naked, which has shocked many viewers and colleagues has also played a great role in changing the prejudice against homosexuality in South Koreans at that time.

But what really caused the general change in the thinking of gay love in South Korean society was the film "The King's Man", directed by Lee Jun-ik, which was released three years later, in 2005. When "The King's Man" was released, although Zheng Yucheng did not rush to watch the movie at the first time, he also went to the cinema to watch it later.

In the play, Lee Joon-gi played Kong Ji's beauty beyond gender, as well as the emotional entanglements of the three men, impressed him deeply. But obviously, Kong Ji's performance method in "The King's Man" is not suitable for Rooney in Jung Woo-sung's "Mr. Goodbye", first of all, the two characters are different eras.

Rooney, played by Jung Woo-sung, doesn't need to be entangled like Kong Ji in "The King's Man". On the contrary, compared to Congey, Rooney is undoubtedly much happier.

Since there is no reference object in the movie, what about the TV series? Since 1995, homosexuality has also begun to appear in Korean TV dramas, mainly one-act dramas and special dramas, including MBC's "Two Women's Love", SBS's "Sook Hee Jeong-hee", KBS2's "Sad Temptation" and "Forbidden Love", and MBC's "Lovers' Lunch".

Although most of them are still dominated by female gay **, but among them, such as "The Temptation of Sadness" and "Lovers' Lunch", the performances of the predecessors of the same sex still benefited Zheng Yucheng a lot, and according to the performance plots in these plays, he also used this to frame the general framework of his performance of Rooney.

"Whew~" With a long sigh of relief, Zheng Yucheng turned his slightly sore wrist, looked at the dense description of Rooney in his hand that he had taken from the script of "Mr. Goodbye", and after a little thought, he picked up the pen and circled one of the descriptions.

"Happiness."

That's right, happiness is the definition that Jung Woo-sung gave to Rooney in the play. Maybe in other TV dramas and movies, same-sex love mostly represents a sad and bleak love story, but at least in "Mr. Goodbye" that Zheng Woo-sung is going to star, although Rooney in the play was opposed by his brother Yin Xuanrui because of his marriage, but at the same time, he also received the blessing of the heroine Cui Lingyin, and there is a boyfriend who loves him to support him.

Perhaps the screenwriter of the script, Xu Shuxiang, wanted to influence the hero and heroine through Rooney's concept of love, but this undoubtedly helped Zheng Yucheng a lot.

……

"How do you show a feeling of happiness?" Having established his acting direction, Jung Woo-sung began to think about how to show happiness in the play. The way a man expresses happiness is obviously different from the way a woman expresses happiness, and although Zheng Yucheng already knows that he is going to play a same-sex role in "Mr. Goodbye", he has no intention of completely imitating feminine motherhood.

is a completely feminine performance, which is not only uncomfortable for him, but also extremely easy to disgust the audience. Therefore, after thinking about it, Jung Woo-sung and his reference to the previous same-sex TV series, he decided to take the middle-value performance method, and not too feminine, but not too manly to make people feel gay at all.

Neutral cuteness, this is Zheng Yucheng's positioning of himself as a more accurate step.

In order to highlight his neutral and cute feeling, Zheng Yucheng specially designed some small actions for Rooney in the play, such as happy pursed lips, happy little clapping, and the soft feeling of the tone of speech. From the little details to form the image of Rooney in Zheng Yucheng's mind.

From this point of view, although the process is a little rougher, Zheng Yucheng's performance technique obviously has some shadow of expressionism, but it is somewhat similar to the experience school.

Expressionism and experientialism have always been the two major forms of performance, experientialism goes deep into the heart of the character, and then expresses the emotions of the character, treating himself as a character. Expressionism, on the other hand, is detached from the role, believing that it emphasizes the rationality of the actor in the performance, advocating the skill of realistically expressing the feelings of the characters in the play, and advocating that the performance is the performance, and the separation of the actor and the role.

As for Zheng Yucheng, he designed a specific expression for Rooney in the play, and the method of label-style action is undoubtedly the number of expressionists, but the setting of Rooney's happiness has a bit of an experiential shadow. However, it is actually too early to talk about expressionism and experience, and even Zheng Yucheng himself is just ignorant about acting.

What's more, as long as you can play a good role, what is the difference between expressiveism and experience?
