Chapter 502: I don't want to put any of my emotions into acting
"Good morning, I wish you all the best for your new movie and make the audience love "Into the Bones", "Lovely Bones", and "Winter Bones"!
"It's only four o'clock in the morning !! Los Angeles, and you're sleepwalking?O_o"
"Sent on a regular basis. I'm in-_-"
"True intelligence, Μ-_- Μ"
"That's the eyebrows?
βββββ__ββββ

"Where's the nose?"
"This,β»"
"Finally breathing again. β
"Your nose is like a middle finger. β
......
When the sun came out, the sky was dyed orange and red, the light became brighter and brighter, and the laughter resounded on the set of W'sB in the mountains and forests, and a flock of birds flew in the surrounding woods. Now there is only a single handful of boys' laughter, and they just can't stop.
"Weige!" Ji Ya had to ask seriously, didn't she see Jennifer crying, Ye Wei was still laughing almost to the ground, it was too mean.
Assistant director Anderson and cinematographer Grady both felt that this was not good, in fact, everyone's laughter just now was just a reflex, and VIY laughed too much, but it was not good to say anything. He's the only king here, and he wants Jennifer Lawrence to get out of the way right away.
"Hahaha!" Ye Wei was still smiling, and his clear laughter was super cheap, like a prank or something.
Duham could hear that the laughter of the wicked people in the school was this kind of laughter, even if Jennifer slapped Ye Weiwei, she was sure that she had tried, this kind of person would laugh even harder, laughing so hard that you have a nervous breakdown, leaving a psychological shadow, this laughter ringing every night's nightmares.
That man is a real villain......
"But. Alicia was in a hurry to say something to intercede for Jennifer or mediate the scene, and she felt like her heart was breaking.
"I know I'm ridiculous...... Jennifer said with a trembling voice, eyes glazed, "I just want to play this role well......"
When he took a deep breath just now, Ye Wei was already shocked that the situation was not good, because Jenny inadvertently said something funny, thinking of the laughter and love with Lily, he couldn't hold it back when he smiled, but he created a completely wrong signal.
In an instant, my mind was racing, and there was a response. Listening to Jenny's choking, he laughed and said, "What do you know? You don't understand." β
You-dont-know-SHITγ This sentence suddenly made the set even more silent, and some old fritters remembered that when filming "Soul Surfer", VIY sprayed Garfield wildly.
What the hell!? Ji Ya almost shouted angrily, after all, Ye Wei was the director, so she couldn't bear to speak. It's also too hurtful, Jennifer is a newcomer, she doesn't know much about movies and sets, but as for scolding her like this? Is he going to kick Jennifer away and replace her with a substitute?
"I ......" Jennifer's face was red and white, and the surrounding scenery, people, and everything were spinning in the world.
"You don't understand my current mood at all!" Ye Wei suddenly pushed the back of her head affectionately, looked at her stunned eyes, and smiled with emotion: "Wow! You cowgirl, you are really surprised by me! I'm so happy!"
The whole set was stunned, and Gia was the first to react, rolling her eyes, FUCK.
"Unbelievable! What did I find? An acting genius? more than that!" Ignoring those doubts first, Ye Wei magnified the happy part of his heart, looked around at the stunned crowd, and asked with a smile: "What about you? What are you laughing at? Think I'm laughing at her? She's funny? She's stupid? No, no, no!"
Alicia smiled excitedly, remembering that breakfast, yes that's it, he can make people's moods go from heaven to hell and back to heaven in just two sentences!
"I've earned it!" Ye Wei shouted, pulled the stunned Jennifer's arm, and said seriously: "I want to introduce to you this is a brave, talented, and talented girl, she has the heart of an excellent actor." Who of you thinks she's stupid? No, she's just fighting with me for control of Rui, which is what a good actor should do and must do! Whether it's clumsy this time or not, next time, next time, she's improving, and soon, she's going to be terrible!"
Jennifer let him pull it, her face flushed, as if hanging in mid-air, I don't know if it was real just now, or if it is true now, or... What's going on?
Everyone who was smiling or not laughing just now was quiet, because Ye Wei didn't say that no one was looking at anyone, the old fritters understood this kind of director's lecture, and the rookies were a little messy. Duham look at this, look at that, it's really VIY, no one knows what he's thinking.
"You can not believe my words, you can disdain my faith!" Ye Wei patted Jennifer's shoulder, her tears were falling, and the more he spoke, the louder he became: "But I want to tell you, this girl has a bright future, a big star? Yes! Oscar? Yes! When she stands on the podium of the Oscars, her acceptance speech will have something like this: Thank you to those who used to laugh at me! Including you, Ye Wei, now you can shut up, bring your praise and get out, because I don't care!"
Everyone seemed to be able to hear the collective wow, and VIY's confidence in his future girls was never a secret, but it seemed to be the first time that it had been on the set of SS and TLB. Everyone understands Ye Wei's other meaning: You have more respect for Jennifer, I can laugh at her, but you can't, she is my person, don't offend her.
"JL, I've changed my mind, this scene will be filmed according to what you said, don't twist your ears. β
Ye Wei said to Jennifer seriously, this is a decision after weighing and considering, compared with a few metaphors, an actress who has not been destroyed is more important and most important. That's just one of the reasons, in general he made mistakes and didn't do a good job directing, it's not a disagreement that can't be solved by coexistence.
"Uh-huh......" Jennifer choked up and nodded, trying to say something but couldn't speak, trying her best to keep herself from crying, what was he talking about? Don't twist your ears? This person is so bad, he made him cry, it's not a shame, it's that this person is too bad......
"Hey, it's fine. Ye Wei comforted in a warm voice, "I understand you, all." β
He looked at the sky at sunrise, the magic time had passed, the light source had become unsuitable for the previous arrangement, Jennifer's emotions could not be played out immediately, she had learned to wash her face and touch up her makeup, he had something to say to her alone.
"Rest for half an hour!" Ye Wei shouted, it didn't take half an hour to turn on the machine, "Let's go have some breakfast, morning luck or something." Jenny, come with me, let's talk about the show. He said that he would go to the north mountain road in the opposite direction of the base camp.
A storm on the set subsided, everyone was doing their own things, no one was talking about what they had just done, and many people went to the food table to get snacks.
Gia went up and hugged Jenny, and Alicia came over and clapped her hands with Jenny.
"I'm fine. Jennifer wiped a handful of tears and quickly followed Ye Wei who was walking away.
......
Ye Wei realized that something was wrong with him, and was told by Lily, he was so happy, neither moldy ice, nor like usual, he could dance happily at any time, and he would get carried away at any time, he was miserable by her, how could she be so good.
The office and the studio are so high that the dictatorial power also makes me sometimes, not with a shelf, but too wanton with others, and I really owe it just now.
If this is a crazy comedy, this is no problem, but W'sB is not, this kind of personal mentality, atmosphere is not correct for himself and the creation of the whole team, which makes the subconscious counterpart feel suppressed, and the "good state" at this time is fake.
What can a poet write a sad poem in a state of ecstasy?
If the set of "Brokeback Mountain" was giggle-ha, if Ang Lee and Heath Ledger and others finished filming with laughter, their performance might have been terrible.
Fortunately, this problem has been exposed now that filming has just started, and it can't continue like this, this can't be done.
Walking on a secluded mountain path, breathing in the fresh air, and looking at the autumn morning scene around you, even if you are in a depressed scene, your sweet heart has no sense of decadence at all. What should I do? I really don't want to use emotional memory......
Hearing the footsteps behind him getting closer and closer, Ye Wei looked back and smiled at Jennifer who came along, "I scared you just now, I apologize to you, I'm sorry." β
"Uh......" Jennifer's mood has calmed down a lot, but she has become unaware of how to get along with him, "It's nothing, I'm a little emotional." β
"No, it was me just now, and I'm happy, but I didn't express it at the right time and in the wrong way, you should hit me, Emma Roberts will. Ye Wei said with a smile, Jennifer couldn't help laughing, he stretched out his palm, "Are we okay?" She high-fived him, "We're not cool, who is cool?"
"Man, you chose to use the performance faction to play Rui, my feelings are like ......" Ye Wei said in detail as he walked, "surprised." β
"Dude, I don't know that clearly. Jennifer hurriedly explained, "But... Yes, I don't like experientialism, I don't like method acting, I don't want to put any emotion into acting. "It's better to just admit it, otherwise he will joke about emotions, what she thinks is reason, so how can she cooperate, and she will admit it if she is fired.
With one breath, she exhaled, "That's how I'm going to perform." β
"That's the hell, man. Ye Wei shrugged.
The so-called expressionism is actually a very loose and vague system, one of the originators of the famous French theater actor Kirkland (1841~1909) said, "Acting is not the combination of actor and character, but the actor with absolute reason and calmness to truly express the character's emotions." By the way, he is the most famous and representative of the "big-nosed love saint".
This is in fact the classical method of theatrical performance, which is almost the opposite of the experientialism, the Stanislavsky system, which originated in Moscow in the early 20th century.
Stanley (1863~1938) revolutionized performance. He was the first person to make the performing arts into a system, and with his own talent and passion, coupled with the essence of the experience of his predecessors, he compiled a complete set of theories, techniques, training methods, etc., and wrote "The Self-cultivation of Actors", "Shaping Characters", "Creating Characters" and "My Artistic Life", which are required for actors.
To put it simply, he advocates that actors need to dedicate themselves to art, and that performance is completely integrated into the role, using their own memory and imagination, and expressing sincere emotions through precise body movements, and portraying the character in nuanced reality. This requires a long period of training, including physical techniques, emotional experience, rigorous self-analysis and criticism. Hollywood's psychiatrists really have Stanley to thank.
The so-called Method-Acting, on the other hand, is the Americanization of Experientialism. If Richard Poleravsky (1889~1937) was still Steiny's true protΓ©gΓ©, Lee Strasberg (1901~1982), who studied under him, was the originator of Methodism.
In the 20s of the 20th century, Poleravsky went into exile in New York with the Moscow Art Theater team, Strasberg was blown away by their performances, and then attended Poleravsky's training classes, and in the 30s he formed the "Group Theater" with director Harold Klurman, who organized and developed what he learned from the experiential school to create two core "improvisation" and "emotional memory" with the nature of American fast food culture.
Stanley said that "acting requires precise and meticulous rehearsal of every small action", said that "the emotions of the actor and the character are unified, sincere and credible", Strathberg said "No, improvisation is also possible", and said "When you act, the audience knows what you want, the character is sad, you are also sad, and it does not matter whether the emotional drive is the same with your emotional memory".
His philosophy and approach are like opening a shortcut, and while he is very popular, he has indeed produced excellent actors all over the theater and film, such as Al-Pacino. And Uta Hagen (1919~2004), a female drama master who studied under Harold Krumman, is another important figure in the Methodist School, she herself is a three-time Tony Award winner, and she has also taught many actors and acting teachers, such as Doreen Canon, one of the most famous acting teachers in Britain, and changed the way of acting in Britain.
But as time went on, there were naturally more theorists diverted, and Stella Adler (1901~1992) was not convinced by Strathberg, and when she was an actor in the group theater, she repeatedly clashed with Strathberg, because she used his method to play more and more confused, "It's not the right way to act! It seems that there is no passion, there is only pain, and I don't know what I am doing." In search of answers, she went to Moscow to visit Stanny and asked him what was going on.
So there is Stanley's only statement to the methodists: "Because you neglect the highest task and the sequence of movements, you have no desire to perform, and there is no motivation." "One of the cores of the system is the highest task, the sequence of actions, the former refers to the character's desire and needs in the situation specified in the script, and the latter refers to a complete series of actions that the character does in order to complete the task. His words are tantamount to saying, "You methodists are emotionally stealing and changing pillars, and your actions are messy, of course you can't do it." β
Adler had a sudden realization, and when she returned to the United States, she started her own school of methodology.
Compared with Strasberg, she is more imaginative and has to strike a balance between "emotional memory" and "highest task", when an actor wants to play a situation in which the character walks on a lake in Switzerland, Stanny "must be walking on the lake in Switzerland", Strasberg is "walking by the toilet, flying in the sky, whatever, the emotions are the same", Adler's original words are: "If you don't feel that you are at the lake in Switzerland, you replace it with the lake in your hometown in your memory." β
Later, she developed a lot of imaginative training methods, and she returned more and more to the script itself, emphasizing that she should put herself in a specific situation when performing. The higher the imagination, the better, you don't have to have a real experience or trade your emotional memories for it.
On the one hand, she inherited the Stanley system, with the famous saying that "choice reflects wisdom" and "it is action, not words, that determines achievement", and on the other hand, she emphasizes that independent and personal choices can be made in performance, rather than blindly abiding by the rigid routines set by others and herself during preparation and rehearsal.
The achievements of the Adler faction are not inferior to the Strasberg faction, and Marlon Brando, Warren Beatty, Robert De Niro and others are all her personal disciples.
The expressive school, the experiential school, and the two method schools, there are many differences in the usual training and training of actors, the preparation before the performance, the psychological state and physical action during the performance, and many of them cannot coexist, so that an actor often has to stand in line.
For example, Jennifer wants to play Rui, and the experiential will firmly say "I am Rui!", the Strasberg methodist laughs and says, "It doesn't matter if I'm Rui or not, the audience thinks I'm Rui", Adler's methodist feels and says, "I imagine I'm Rui", and the expressionist shrugs his shoulders and says, "What? I'm just imitating Rui, imagining, designing, rehearsing, and acting, our best friend is sanity and calm!"
People have different personalities, and of course actors have to choose the most suitable method for themselves.
But when it comes to difficulty, in terms of common sense and the current situation, the Strathberg method is the easiest and most used by actors all over the world, and the flaws are also obvious, actors can easily play any role by themselves, like Leonardo, followed by Adler's method, but the requirements for imaginative talent are extremely high, and then the experiential school. Expressionism is now heretical.
The reason why Ye Wei is worried or even disappointed is because Jennifer wants to use expressionism, which seems to be a kind of lofty ambition. He hasn't directed an expressionist actor yet, Emma is a methodist, and Liz uses Adler's method to target the experiential, and it's funny that her imagination is trapped by herself.
None of these teenage girls would say "I don't want to put any of my emotions into the show" except this guy, Jennifer Lawrence.
"Uh, dude......" Jennifer looked at him and said what she wanted to understand: "I started studying acting two and a half years ago, and I had already learned everything before I participated in the audition, and this year I received those experiential training from you, and I didn't fall in love with experientialism, but I was sure." β
She made an embarrassed expression, "I love expressionism. I found that when I kept my head above water, I didn't get emotionally involved, I didn't take on the role, that was the best me. I've tried! Let me use any emotional memory, I just can't act, and it's not interesting. β
"I said, you're gifted. Ye Wei stretched out his hands and looked at the rising sun in the sky.
His steps were a little bigger, and Jennifer quickly followed, continuing: "I think that's stupid, I'm who I am, I don't want to lose control of myself, it's uncomfortable. Well dude, I don't have artistic dedication......"
"Dude. Ye Wei couldn't help laughing again, and pushed the back of her head, "If you have a smart head, you have to use it well, right?" Jennifer suddenly laughed: "I don't know, it's stupid to act." Ye Wei asked imaginarily: "If there is a role, you can't play it well if you are calm, but as long as you lose a little bit of your mind, it will be very good." What would you do?"
Jennifer thought seriously for a while, the quiet mountains and forests made the disgust so obvious, and shook her head: "Then I won't play that role." β
"All characters are like this?" Ye Wei asked again.
"No way!" she cried out, "what if!" and she laughed happily, "Then I'll only do funny comedies, and I can be my own." β
"I'm not just playing the 'wedding god' to be myself. Oh, I see, you don't want to be in pain because of acting, like the pain of getting vaccinated when you were a kid. β
"Yes, I don't want to. Jennifer broke the jar and broke, "I love looking at the characters, I don't care if it's art or not, I love that feeling." Isn't it backward?"
She doesn't know anything about fart, but she understands this, and now the expressionists are not only outdated, but also considered cheap. Although acting is all about deception, people like to hear that an actor has been experiencing a role for many months before acting, putting a lot of emotion into the performance, and having a lot of psychological problems after the performance, but they don't like to hear that an actor is just playing that role, like a cold machine.
She didn't know VIY's attitude, but after this year's cooperation and exchanges, he first took her for granted as a method actor, and today he ......
"Not really. Ye Wei organized the following rhetoric and said: "Actually, as far as acting is concerned, the method school is taking shortcuts, it has too many flaws, do you think I like emotional substitution? Not at all, maybe playing a role will be emotionally deranged and crazy, acting is like a betrayal of myself, and I don't like it either." β
"Haha!" Jennifer was happy to be understood, and even happier that he seemed to be "one of his own", and that's how it felt, "You don't have artistic dedication either." β
"Why do you think I'm a director? I'm so handsome. As soon as Ye Wei said that, she raised her hand and pushed the back of her head, and he smiled: "Methodism can be so prosperous, but it is easy, and it just fits the rhythm of the camera performance, the first 5 minutes you are still playing the scene of A, you have to be happy, now you are playing the scene of B, you have to be sad, 5 minutes later, you are going to play the scene C, you have to be happy again." And the three scenes are not in a coherent order in the script, and it is easier to go crazy with BOOM!
Experientialism is not the final answer, what is, who knows. But if you use expressionist performance to better effect than methodology, why not? In the long run, you can achieve more, maybe closer to the essence of acting, and maybe create your own system. β
"Maybe!" Jennifer laughed, she was a little shy when he said it, she knew what a, what a stupid thing.
Ye Wei stopped to show the seriousness of his words: "If you can act well like this, then that's it, but you must be able to act well." I'm going to use the Expressionist School to guide you, and then I'll use some of the Adlerian methods that you're happy to use, just imagining, not emotionally engaged, how about that?"
"Well, I've always had imagination. Jennifer also straightened her face.
"What I said on the set just now was not to give you a head, but my true opinion of you. β
Ye Wei stared into her eyes and said slowly: "I want you to lead this movie!" It will not be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director, but it will be nominated for Best Actress or even win the award because it is yours. It's not mine, it's not Alicica's, it's your movie. β
"Dude......" Jennifer was a little stunned, not quite understanding what he meant, and her heart was beating like an emotional explosion.
"Not ten years from now, right now! It's not a wish, it's a goal. In order to accomplish the goal, I will be very cruel to you, you can't imagine. β
His deep voice seemed to be sneering, and his fierce gaze met her glittering eyes.
"If you are afraid, have no confidence, and are not interested, immediately say, get out of here, I will change people immediately, and you can continue filming in the afternoon, that is the method school. "It's okay with Rui, the audience thinks I'm Rui", Adler's methodists feel and say "I imagine I'm Rui", and the expressionists shrug their shoulders and say, "What? I'm just imitating Rui, imagining, designing, rehearsing, acting, our best friends are sane and calm!"
