Chapter Ninety-Four: Experientialism and Methodism

Inside the small auditorium.

Luo Jin, Zhu Yawen and others were preparing for the audition on stage.

Wu Yuan sat in the center of the stage, holding the script, pondering where to start the rehearsal first.

Romeo and Juliet is a play in five acts.

Of course, Wu Yuan will not arrange all five acts, it will be a large-scale drama of 3 hours.

He was only going to arrange the second and third acts.

The second act of Romeo and Juliet is considered to be the most lyrical and youthful scene in the whole play, in which two young people pour out their love and affection to each other in a garden under the moonlight.

The plot of the third act takes a turn for the worse with Tybalt's death, Romeo is banished, Juliet is forced to marry, and the lovers begin to fall into the abyss of pain.

Rehearsing these two acts is just a good test of the acting skills of the male and female leads, who need to give two completely different emotions, sweetness and pain, in the two acts.

It not only trains the actors, but also trains the directors.

After thinking about it, Wu Yuan planned to start with some of Romeo and Juliet's heart-to-heart plots.

is the same as making movies, first acting in some scenes that require emotional outbursts, which can allow the actors to enter the state as soon as possible.

Closing the script and raising his head, Wu Yuan was about to beckon the actors to prepare, when a small hand suddenly stretched out from his side.

This hand is very good-looking, fair and slender, with well-defined bones and pink nails.

A cup of banlangen in a disposable paper cup was grasped in the palm of the palm by this hand, and the mouth of the cup was still steaming.

"Senior brother, let's have a cup of banlangen."

Liu Yifei's voice came from behind Wu Yuan: "The newspaper said that drinking more of this can prevent pneumonia." ”

Wu Yuan was stunned, and reached out to take the cup of Banlangen.

He really wanted to tell Liu Yifei that this rumor was a lie, and Banlangen really couldn't prevent SARS.

Just meeting her concerned gaze, Wu Yuan pursed his lips, and still thanked: "Thank you, I know." ”

After all, it's a little girl's kindness.

Picking up this cup of Banlangen, Wu Yuan didn't feel too hot, he directly drank it all in one gulp, and after putting the quilt aside casually, he got up and shouted: "Everyone get ready, start rehearsal!" ”

"Let's get the first act first!"

......

"Romeo, do you love me?"

"I know, you're going to answer, yes."

Liu Yifei, who was wearing a European-style dress, stared affectionately at Zhu Yawen who was facing her sideways, and said in the gentlest tone she could:

"And I will definitely believe what you say, but maybe your oath is just a lie, people say, for the lovers' cold alliance treachery, the gods laugh at it."

The lines are beautiful.

But Wu Yuan, who was sitting under the stage, was frowning so much that he could almost kill a fly.

Although Liu Yifei gave him a cup of banlan root just now, which made him a little moved, this does not mean that Wu Yuan will be tolerant of her performance.

"Stop!" Stretching out his hand to interrupt Liu Yifei's recitation, Wu Yuan sighed: "Sissi, this recitation is not like this. ”

"What was Juliet's inner mood when she said this to Romeo?"

"It's not gentle infatuation, it's expectation, you know?"

Liu Yifei looked dazed.

To be honest, it was a bit difficult for her, a little girl who had never been in love, to experience the love between Romeo and Juliet.

Wu Yuan also understood this, so he tried his best to explain in a language that Liu Yifei could understand: "When Juliet said this to Romeo, she actually expected Romeo to give her a firm response. ”

While speaking, Wu Yuan stood up, made a fan, and read it with the script:

"Oh! If you really love me, gentle Romeo, tell me sincerely, and if you think I'm too easy to concede, I'll be angry and stubborn, and reject your kindness. ”

His tone was full of anticipation, as if he couldn't wait for the other party to give a warm response in the next second, and the feelings were conveyed very clearly.

Wu Yuan really hasn't acted much, only acted in one "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", and often humbled himself that he couldn't act.

But he's a director!

His understanding of the script is absolutely incomparable to that of ordinary actors!

He can accurately find the emotions that should be expressed in each line in the script and the reactions that should be given.

He also knows exactly how to play these roles well, and tells the actors to guide them to try.

If you really want to talk about it, any director who can be regarded as an excellent level will definitely not be bad at acting!

Wu Yuan is willing to teach, and Liu Yifei is also willing to learn seriously, so even if she is stupid, she can always learn little by little.

What's more, Liu Yifei is not stupid in terms of acting.

She can't play roles well many times, mostly because she hasn't experienced these things herself.

She is more inclined to be an experiential actor, but she is relatively lacking in life experience, she has not felt much of the suffering of the world since she was a child, and she joined the group at a young age and started acting, and the accumulation of life is not rich.

It is difficult for her to empathize with the experiences of many characters.

Unless every time before filming, he will live and experience life for a few months according to the character's personality, but this is obviously unrealistic for Liu Yifei.

Therefore, actors like her are generally more suitable to take the methodological route in the experiential school.

Experiential is that the actor must turn himself into a character, and should think about what the character thinks and thinks about the character on the stage, strive to enter the character, and then show the emotion of the character.

When the camera is turned on, you're not acting, you're the character.

The method school, although the core idea is still the experiential school, but it pays more attention to skills.

If you can't keep your thoughts in line with the role, it doesn't matter, with some tips, you don't need to directly let yourself enter the character to figure out the mood of the character, and you can achieve the effect by calling your own inner emotions.

To put it simply, for example, an actor needs to play a gay role, and the experiential school really substitutes himself as a homosexual, hypnotizing himself to be gay when he is performing.

Methodist actors, on the other hand, do not require to really enter the role, they can imagine the rival actor as their girlfriend or wife, and then substitute their feelings into it.

Although the method school also needs the actor to substitute emotion, at least it does not need to be completely from the perspective of the character.

Methodism means that no matter what method you use, as long as you can give the emotion that the character needs.

"If you really can't find that feeling of anticipation, I'll teach you a trick."

Wu Yuan smiled and said in a teasing tone: "You can imagine Yawen as your favorite cats and dogs." ”

"Every time you go home, you call their names and expect them to rush up to meet you, right?"

"Imagine that if you substitute this emotion into the performance, you can almost feel seven or eight points."

Hearing Wu Yuan say this, Liu Yifei immediately understood.

It's just that when she set her eyes on Zhu Yawen and imagined him as a Doberman Pinscher raised by herself, she immediately couldn't help laughing.

"I'm sorry..."Liu Yifei covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, and apologized to Zhu Yawen.

Zhu Yawen's expression was also a little embarrassed, but he still nodded understandingly: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you think of me as a pug." ”

"As long as you can play this play well, you can do anything!"

On the other side, the other actors who had no role in this scene listened carefully and took Wu Yuan's words to heart.

This is the acting teaching of top directors in China, and it must be learned!

"Okay." Wu Yuan nodded with satisfaction and clapped his hands: "Sissi find a feeling, let's do it again!" ”
