Chapter 606 [A Good Show]
In the fifty-fifth cycle, Guo Xu strode into the acting class classroom in a sportswear, signaling the students to be quiet.
This is a classroom similar to an auditorium, with a stage in front of it, and the students are like an audience, and they will only come on stage when they need to perform, which is a more interesting and interactive class.
There were nearly 200 people sitting in the room, Guo Xu was a little nervous when he first came to class, but after a few times, he was not nervous at all, and his mentality became more and more relaxed, because he had "prepared for class", and he talked about the same thing several times.
Guo Xu found the textbook in his apartment, and what he wanted to talk about today was set in the computer, and he parroted it to the students, but he preferred to make some changes.
He took several such acting classes, placing hammers, sticks, chalk, chalk brushes, mineral water, mobile phones and other things on the table, and asked students to choose props first, and then use the selected props to act out a short story, all improvised. It can be a one-man show, and it can be a two-person show.
Some people performed using a hammer to work to smash their hands, some people used a stick to perform digging a hornet's nest, some people performed the blind, and some people performed Thor vs. Sun Wukong. Creative but very badly acted, Thor is not like Xu Jinjiang at all, and Sun Wukong has become a Super Saiyan.
Acting class is a "brainstorming" workshop where the teacher helps students engage in storytelling and gain confidence.
Today, Guo Xu wants to play some new tricks. "Everyone, let me ask you a question first, what do you think makes a good actor? Raise your hand to answer. ”
Guo Xu pointed to a black man in the corner. "Over there, much like Will Smith's handsome guy replied."
"An actor who plays something like something."
"Simple and straightforward."
Guo Xu pointed to the girl with long blond hair in the middle. "Let's talk about this beautiful woman who looks like Britney Spears."
The low-profile version of Britney said improvisation, emotional memory and other things.
Guo Xu applauded twice and said: "You are all right, today we are going to do an experiment, a good actor, can he really play what is like something?" For example, imagine that you are a good basketball player and go to play against the school basketball team, and you think, can we win if we form a team? ”
There was laughter in the audience, everyone felt that they couldn't win, only a few boys who liked to play and coaxed that they could win.
Guo Xu ordered a few people to come on stage, a total of 7 people, and then asked each of them to say what role they were suitable for playing in the basketball team, which looked like an audition.
Many people know that there are basketball games in the school gymnasium in the evening, and the school has also informed the students to go to the stadium to watch the game and support the home team when they are free. Guo Xu said that playing basketball players is easy to resonate with hot spots.
Guo Xu's teaching method is, to put it bluntly, nonsense. The doppelganger used to be very serious and taught according to the things in the textbook, but now Guo Xu is playing. It's just that the students are very fond of it, how good it is to play along, and the class is lively and interesting.
The School of Visual Arts in New York has a wide variety of campus activities, with a wide variety of clubs and student organizations. Teachers who are not strict and are good at interacting with students are most likely to be liked by students.
Guo Xu believes that learning acting should not be serious, but enjoyable. Because people often play their favorite roles. If the student has not been famous, it will be easier when he can't choose a role, and he will like it very much if he is given a role, and he may cry excitedly, and finally have the opportunity to appear on the camera.
While Guo Xu is lecturing, he can occasionally insert a small joke in the future to make the students laugh.
People who are familiar with Guo Xu feel that he is very different today, and a black girl in the front row asked: "Teacher, you look excited today, is it a performance?" ”
"You observed very carefully, yes, I was playing another person, and at the same time warming up, getting myself into the play, adjusting my spirit, and then waiting to enter the climax of the scene."
Guo Xu paused for a moment, and then said: "Several people who play the role players of the basketball team have been selected, and I will also play this scene." The setting of my character is very interesting, he is an NBA All-Star point guard, and today he happened to have nothing to do during the holidays and went to a college to lead a group of ordinary players to beat the varsity team. What do you think of this character? ”
"It's too bad." Someone immediately answered.
"It's a bit of a bully, but as long as he plays, he will continue to put on a wonderful performance, and the audience will be stunned, and the opponent will be cleaned up."
There was another burst of laughter, and if it was really this kind of plot, it seemed quite interesting.
At this time, Guo Xu's mobile phone rang, and he answered the phone on the stage. "It's settled, okay, we'll go right away."
The classmates were about to say that he didn't call well during class, Guo Xu smiled and said: "Now, all of us walk to the gymnasium, and a few people selected just now will play the school team with me, and the climactic scene is about to begin." ”
The students were all stunned, is this the real thing?
Guo Xu, of course, is here to play with the college's varsity team, and then participate in the friendly game against New York University in the evening to warm up, and the NCAA division will start this month.
In the morning he called his colleague Lily Palvin and invited her to breakfast, Guo Xu asked her to help communicate with the basketball team, and in the morning he took the students to practice games as sparring partners.
Lily is a German-Hungarian mixed-race child, with average appearance, but she has a good figure, 178CM tall, and can be a model. She is two years older than Guo Xu and has played supporting roles in many TV series, but has never acted in movies.
There is no stage behind the actress, and the appearance is not particularly outstanding, it is difficult to make a name for herself in Hollywood, and teaching in a school is a good choice for Lily.
Guo Xu knew from the first contact that Lily had a good impression of him, and she never refused to ask her to help. And this girl wanted to have a relationship for the purpose of marriage, and Guo Xu was a little nicer to her, so she took the initiative to confess. The Huns are the ancestors of Hungary, and the Hungarians also have a bit of Chinese ancestry.
In the last class, Guo Xu had a lot of fun with the students, he performed all the plays related to singing and dancing, singing and dancing to show his strengths, and won countless applause. His singing and dancing seemed too professional to these amateurs, and he overwhelmed all the students.
That's just a small fight, today Guo Xu is going to play a big game, and he doesn't have to go to the tennis team arena to abuse Kidd in training, he can also improve in the school gym.
He went to the stadium to see it, the wooden floor, the rebounds, the basketball hoop are very formal, and he practiced here well. It's just that simple training is not interesting, there are audiences, and abuse people, that's interesting.
Guo Xu said that he would go, and took a group of students to a nearby gymnasium. Let the students sit in the stands, which he said was a cheerleader and a general audience, and then warmed up with the seven students and prepared to play.
Guo Xu said loudly: "Remember, I am performing as a star, the best NBA player who comes to school to abuse vegetables after eating enough." Attack: You just have to pass the ball to me and keep your energy defending. I'm going to win a game of five, don't drag your feet when you play, I'll have to work hard when I play nine. ”
The people in the school team laughed, and today the drama majors came to be sparring partners, and they thought this thing was quite fresh, isn't this looking for abuse?
Lily, who came to communicate in advance, said that these people came to play to help the school team improve their confidence, and they will dare to play more when they play against NYU in the evening.
The players on the varsity team all believed that they couldn't play on the NCAA strong team, and they were confident that they could win against ordinary people......
