Chapter 163: Director Wang's Acting Class
As soon as Wang Zheng's words fell, a rather stingy voice sounded: "Boss, I know I know!"
Looking in the direction where the voice came from, I saw Nangong Tiezhu holding one arm high, in the eyes of everyone, like a primary school student who was eager for the teacher to ask questions.
Wang Zheng glared at him fiercely, and then he retracted his raised arm stupidly.
"Dean Xu, as a third-order literary powerhouse, you must be able to see a thing or two from the script. ”
As his eyes turned, Wang Zheng looked at Xu Kang with a smile. provoked Xu Kang to stare at him immediately, and this later life was obviously to embarrass me.
However, after a little silence, Xu Kang said eloquently:
Although the old man has never been exposed to such a thing as filming, through the study of the script, the old man feels that this movie should be countless times shorter than the TV series, but it is also countless times more detailed.
Even meticulously crafted to every picture and action, if the old man guesses correctly, the time for the movie will definitely not be less than the time for the TV series. ”
Bang bang, Wang Zheng applauded without hesitation, and said:
"The dean deserves to be the dean, and the answer is basically correct. As Dean Xu said, movies are more tightly paced than TV dramas, so in the filming of movies, there is very little room for actors to perform unless necessary. And because of the small performance space, the movie has higher requirements for the actors' acting skills. ”
"What is a performance space? It is how much of an actor's acting skills can be brought into play in a limited time.
You may not understand this, but we have plenty of time anyway, so here we will do a simple on-site teaching.
Miss Xiaoqian, come out for a moment. ”
Wang Zheng, who was talking eloquently, suddenly looked at the female ghost Xiaoqian, which made Xiaoqian a little overwhelmed. But in the end, she walked out under Wang Zheng's encouraging gaze.
Xiaoqian, the female ghost who walked to the clearing, looked at Wang Zheng in a bit of confusion, and Wang Zheng smiled kindly: "Miss Xiaoqian, sit." ”
While speaking, Wang Zheng gave Ma Yi a look, and suddenly a stone pier quietly formed on the side of the female ghost Xiaoqian under Ma Yi's magic.
Xiao Qian stood next to the stone pier, looked at Wang Zheng in surprise, and asked carefully: "Wang Gongzi, sit, do you just sit casually?"
Wang Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, sit casually." In addition, in the crew, I am always called director. ”
Xiao Qian nodded, and then after a simple thought, she sat on the stone pier with an air of elegance and charm as usual.
After doing this, she glanced at Wang Zheng and saw that Wang Zheng didn't react, so she continued to sit.
After sitting for about a minute, in full view of everyone, she was a little unnatural, she didn't know what to do, she seemed very uneasy, she didn't know what to do.
Wang Zheng saw that Xiaoqian was cramped, and said with a smile: "Okay, no need to act." I believe everyone understands it, I only told Xiaoqian to sit down, and didn't tell her other information, she felt very dazed and very unnatural when she acted. This is undoubtedly a waste of precious time in the movie. ”
When the rest of the people heard this, although they didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Zheng's gourd, they also nodded slowly, after all, Wang Zheng's words were very reasonable.
At this time, Wang Zheng, who saw everyone's reaction, continued:
Therefore, in a limited time, even a confined time, try to show the character's personality, psychology, and even render the whole environment in turn through action and demeanor, which is the meaning of performance space.
If you want to make the best use of the performance space, you must understand a concept called the three elements of action.
What are the three elements of action? are what to do, why and how to do it.
In the case of sitting, 'to do something' is to sit on a stool;
Why' is why you sit on a stool, you have to have a purpose, such as reading a book;
'How to do' is the embodiment of 'what to do', for example, when I sit down and read a book, I have to sit down and open the book to read.
Among them, 'how to do' is the most critical, and acting is often acting 'how to do'.
Everyone remembers that actors must convey the plot and shape the image through action, and action is inseparable from the three elements of action!
Now I'll add a condition, grooming. Xiao Qian, you sit and make up!"
Xiao Qian groaned for a while, lowered her head and began to pretend that she had a comb in her hand, and slowly began to comb her long green hair, combing it very seriously every time, as if the whole person was immersed in the daily life of her daughter's house.
Wang Zheng clapped his hands and motioned for Xiaoqian to stop:
"Everyone has seen it, plus the action of reading a book, Xiaoqian's performance is much more vivid, this is with the three elements of action.
As you who are about to film, the script you get will not describe specific actions, which requires you to design it yourself, or follow the director's advice, and this kind of action design can only show the skills of an actor.
In short, a good actor can really bring a play to life.
Take Xiao Qian's sitting and grooming as an example, her performance just now is still too simple, we can design more movements to make the whole performance more vivid.
For example, we can design a comb to wrap a lot of fallen hair around the comb, no matter how Xiaoqian handles these hairs, she can make the action more maple;
We can also do more complex designs, such as when we are grooming, there is no one around, and Xiaoqian suddenly thinks of a playful hairstyle.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qian will have dual activities of heart and expression, she will react, and her performance will become richer.
Xiao Qian, now re-enacted, this time must bring more action. ”
Xiao Qian thought for a while, and suddenly reached out and made a mirror movement, accompanied by Xiao Qian's movements, the pitch-black ghost qi formed an oval mirror shape.
After fiddling with the mirror a few times, Xiao Qian looked at herself in the mirror with a satisfied face, and then showed a satisfied smile.
Through this action, everyone understood at this moment that Xiaoqian was very satisfied with her appearance.
And through Xiao Qian's simple action, many people have already nodded thoughtfully, and they have understood the meaning of action and performance.
A few seconds later, Xiao Qian's face suddenly showed an innocent childlike smile, and she looked around as if she was a thief, and then began to toss her hair in a sly gaze.
Soon, her hair becomes a playful discovery.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Xiaoqian showed a satisfied and childlike smile.
Seeing this, Wang Zheng couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, Xiaoqian's acting talent was really beyond his expectations.
You must know that Wang Zheng has watched these things in the crew for a long time, asked several people who understand, and even secretly mixed in with the school to listen to the things that he understands.
But on Xiaoqian, she learned it through her own simple prompts?
It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating!
However, Wang Zheng was not distracted by the surprise in his heart, but suddenly prompted:
"Now Grandma has suddenly come in!"
When Xiao Qian heard this, she suddenly sighed, and then used her mana to her hair, shook her head slightly, and suddenly three thousand green silks swept through the air, as if black ink had been splashed in white water.
The beauty is scattered, and the picture is beautiful.
Under the effect of mana, the original playful hairstyle was re-transformed into a random spread, Xiao Qian looked in the direction of her grandmother with some embarrassment, and said:
"Grandma, why are you here? ”
Xiaoqian's tone was a little flustered, a little blamed, and more shy.
Seeing this, Wang Zheng smiled and applauded:
"Very good! Xiaoqian, you go down! Everyone can see it! The same is sitting, the first monotonous and boring, the second time, there are movements become more vivid, and the last performance is full of fun in life!
In fact, filming to put it bluntly is to show the elements needed for a story in a short period of time through language, demeanor, expressions, bodies, matching the environment, others, soundtracks, etc. ”
After saying this, most of the people nodded thoughtfully, it turned out to be this truth.
Even Xu Kang, a third-order Wendao powerhouse, couldn't help but shout:
"Okay! That's right! Xiaoyou doesn't say that the old man hasn't noticed these small details in life, and sure enough, there is knowledge everywhere in life. ”
Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, and then continued:
"The external movements, the language of the characters, and even the whole process of action are all important factors in the performance, and only when you master these can you say that you want to perform the performance you want to perform.
But these are not enough, the reason why life is life, the most important thing is emotion, but if you can't show emotion, the whole performance will be more blunt, like a marionette. ”
"But director, we haven't experienced a lot of emotions, so how can we express them?"
As soon as Wang Zheng's words fell, he saw Xiaoqian looking at Wang Zheng with curiosity, frowning and asking.
If you haven't experienced it, you won't experience that kind of emotion. Regarding Xiaoqian's cleverness, Wang Zheng nodded approvingly, and then said with a smile:
"Xiaoqian said well, we have not experienced many things due to experience, so naturally we will not understand what kind of emotions should be in them.
However, for this situation, we can solve it with the emotional alternative method. ”
"Emotional substitution?" many people chewed on the unfamiliar name.
Wang Zheng nodded, and then continued:
"Emotional substitution, as the name suggests, is to find the corresponding emotion to replace.
There are many things that cannot be captured without experiencing the corresponding emotions, and the performance is not real enough.
But I can't let the actor go through it and experience that feeling, right? For example, if you want to meet a lover, I can't catch a lover for you, right?"
Wang Zheng's words immediately caused a burst of laughter, which also made Xiao Qian's miserable white face flushed. Looking at the simple Xiaoqian, Wang Zheng continued:
"So what to do? It's simple, find a similar relationship instead. Xiaoqian, what is your mood when you are about to meet your lover?"
Xiao Qian pondered for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Excited, excited, eager to fly to him immediately?"
Wang Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, it seems that you have a lot of experience!"
Xiao Qian stomped her foot when she heard this, and protested with a red face: "Who is experienced? Director, don't talk nonsense!"
The ghost believes that what makes Zhu Ming confused, who is rich if you are not rich?
Wang Zheng continued:
Xiaoqian said it right just now, the girl is about to meet her lover, she is excited, full of expectations, and she can't wait to see him immediately.
So when do we have similar moods in our lives, in fact, there are quite a lot.
For example, in Miss Xiaoqian's family, grandma has been gone for a long time, and today is the day when grandma comes back, I look forward to such a thing, and I am excited when I think about it!
Then we can imagine such a scene when performing, feel such a mood, and use it to express the excitement of seeing a lover, which is an emotional substitution!
For another example, when you are acting in a crying scene, you can imagine that grandma doesn't want you anymore. You are guaranteed to cry as soon as you think about it. ”
Under Wang Zheng's eloquent talk, many people showed a look of sudden realization.
In fact, such emotional substitutions are not uncommon in their lives. The most direct is the process of the monks of Wendao comprehending the true meaning of the poems of their predecessors.
It's just that no one has ever studied this process carefully, and no one has ever systematically arranged this thing that everyone knows.
Hearing Wang Zheng say this today, these people suddenly became stunned. Even because of Wang Zheng's explanation, if they understand any truth and artistic conception in the future, their efficiency will be improved a lot.
Actually, it's not just emotional substitution. A lot of things in the show are closely related to life.
After all, drama is like life, and acting is to interpret a life. Although it is higher than life, it also comes from life after all.
Looking at the thoughtful crowd, Wang Zheng gave them a moment to digest before he smiled:
"If you have anything to gain, you can stay and digest it for the time being. Director Wang's acting class is not over yet. ”
