"For the rearrangement of classics, there are generally three directions: paying tribute to classics, deconstructing classics, and popularizing classics."

After briefly performing four different versions of King Claudius, Xu Zhen concluded: "Starting from the script I just got in my hands, I think the direction of this version we want to arrange is 'popularization'. ”

"Because compared with Shakespeare's original work, the dialogues and monologues in this script are more concise and easier to understand, so correspondingly, the shaping of the characters should also be more popular and popular."

"Personally, I think that Mr. Joon's version is more traditional in terms of character settings, and it is a good base. However, this version of the recitation style is relatively retro, but Ni Guohong's interpretation method is more light and smooth......"

After Xu Zhen briefly explained his views on how to create the character of Claudius, he returned to his seat.

However, more than ten seconds passed, and director Gao Yunshen didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, and Xu Zhen was a little hairy.

- Did I make any radical remarks?

Didn't you?

Xu Zhen carefully recalled what he had just said, and confirmed that the content was normal.

There are many actors in the front who speak more deviant than themselves, and some people even beat all the previous Chinese versions to death with a stick, thinking that the predecessors are all rubbish.

As for the four versions of Claudius that he copied himself......

And there's nothing surprising about that.

Just like reciting the original text of the poem before appreciating the poem, of course, you can also perform the performance before appreciating the performance, so that it can be better understood.

Just now, Hamlet's C-role actor has also changed several methods to read a monologue in order to prove his point of view, and he is not the first person to do this.

But why did the director get stuck in his own shell?

Xu Zhen was hesitating whether to take the initiative to say something, and director Gao Yunshen finally opened his mouth.

"Then you might as well try to play a part," he said, "and combine Qiao Ang's version of the character image and Ni Guohong's version of the interpretation style." ”

Xu Zhen was slightly stunned.

Do you want to continue acting?

Does it mean that the director said this...... He has some interest in my point of view?

At this moment, Xu Zhen himself didn't feel anything, but just got up with interest and planned to try.

But on the side, Dong Xiaoyang only felt that his heart sank to the bottom.

Director Gao took the initiative to ask Xu Zhen to perform a ......

Nothing like this has ever happened to me!

Similar to this kind of treatment, Dong Xiaoyang only saw one person when he first joined the company:

That person is called Song Yu.

But not long after Xu Zhen joined the company, it was the first time he participated in this kind of small meeting, and he obviously didn't know what Gao Dao's attitude meant.

He just got up from his seat again, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and adjusted his breath.

Immediately, he looked at Gao Yunshen from the perspective of a condescending person and said in a deep voice: "Abandon this meaningless sadness and treat me as your father." ”

"I want the whole world to know that you, Hamlet, are the direct heir to the throne!"

"I will give you as honor and grace as a most loving father is to his son!"

Gao Yunshen did not shy away from looking directly into Xu Zhen's eyes, and after a while, he said: "In the first sentence, the word 'father' is clearer, and the speed is slowed down. ”

"In the second sentence, the accent is not in the right place, you try to ...... like this"

After some simple guidance, Gao Yunshen asked Xu Zhen to try again.

The two of them repeated these lines five times one after another.

When Xu Zhen's last version of the performance is presented, it is as if two gears are perfectly bitten together, spanning hundreds of years, injecting a new soul into the character of Claudius.

Seeing this scene, the actors who had some qualifications in the drama club glanced at each other, and they all saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.

Gaodao attaches unprecedented attention!

Tireless guidance、The anticipation in the eyes is overflowing!

Moreover, this new young man did perfectly respond to Gao Dao's expectations, and the speed of his transformation in this period of Nianbai just now can be said to be breathtaking.

At the same time, Gao Yunshen also felt a slight tremor in his heart after listening to this recitation.

The young man ......

If it weren't for all the requirements just now, he would definitely wonder: Is this a variety show, the script was written in advance, and he was deliberately setting up a genius for Xu Zhen.

You can understand it at one point, understand it when you say it, and you can perfectly meet your requirements five times.

That's what a natural actor is.

The reason why Gao Yunshen wanted to mention Xu Zhen on the spot just now was not because he could imitate the four versions of Claudius exactly like the original.

Antithesis......

Xu Zhen didn't act so similarly.

How do you say that?

People have different accents, different manners, and different appearances, and if they are 100% reproduced, it will inevitably look disobedient.

But as soon as Xu Zhen opened his mouth, he grasped the big and let go of the small, directly grasped the core charm of the original version, and understood the key to why a stage character makes people feel flesh and blood.

This is the highest level of imitation.

Gao Yunshen has a certain understanding of Xu Zhen.

He had seen Shen Danqing's "Ten Thousand Lights" imitated by Xu Zhen before, and the reviews on the Internet at that time said that he acted exactly like the original.

But if you compare frame by frame, you'll find that it's different.

Some details in the movements and expressions, as well as some habits in pronunciation and accent, are all different from Shen Danqing.

But the reason why he gives people a feeling of "exactly the same" is that he captures the core of a character.

Gao Yunshen thought it was interesting before, and felt that this child was probably a fan of Shen Danqing, and he had done research on related aspects seriously.

But when he looked at it today, he understood.

No.

This is simply due to his acting talent.

He can do it when he plays "Ten Thousand Lights", and he can also do it when he plays "Hamlet".

Many times, the meaning of genius is to constantly tell those mediocre people that diligence can make up for clumsiness.

If you don't have a talent for acting, please go find your talent points and don't waste time on meaningless things.

You'll never be able to catch up with the real geniuses.

Gao Dao glanced at Xu Zhen deeply, didn't say anything more, just picked up his notebook again, bowed his head and said, "Next, start with Ophelia." ”

When he said this, Gao Yunshen scribbled a line of self-talk on his notebook:

Claudius finally appeared.

Now, I need to get my Hamlet back.
