But He Fang didn't care at all, and he continued to lecture as if nothing had happened.

The higher you go up this kind of thing, the greater the divergence, so the tutors and professors of the same major in some universities are all enemies of academic opposition.

This is normal, and He Fang doesn't care at all.

"What should a director create? Look at the big screen. There are three points, one is how to visualize and visualize the story, the second is how to make the audience enjoy it, and the third is how to find their own style and artistic expression. ”

"In fact, as a rookie director, the first thing to learn is how to visualize and visualize a literary script, not how to express yourself artistically.

"I don't know how film school teaches new directors how to visualize a literary script, but when I was studying at the California Institute of the Arts, our school's approach was to let students take the first step in creating a director's script after holding a literary script."

"The director knows what it is, right? It is to draw or write a storyboard, plus annotations on camera movement, lighting, art, costumes, performances, etc., that is, the director's thoughts on your shot. ”

"A rookie director can only create a director's style after countless times, and then read his own script after the final movie, constantly looking for problems and learning. In this way, your basic skills as a director will be solid, and on this basis, you can talk about the so-called art, without which all art is fake. ”

He Fang's words made many students and teachers deafening, and at this time they realized that their learning was all vain, all theoretical, and almost no learning how to operate in detail.

What he is talking about is how to start from scratch for a real rookie director, and the film school teaches each student directly as a half-finished director who has 'learned basic skills', which leads to many directors who can't even shoot basic once they graduate.

So how to make the audience enjoy watching it? Four things, plot, rhythm, freshness and performance, let's not talk about the plot, because that's the drama, and now we're talking about the situation when the drama has been determined. Therefore, the director has to control the rhythm, freshness and performance. ”

"What's the rhythm? If you have students who can't understand the rhythm all the time, I suggest you listen to more music, especially symphonies. Concerts teach you what rhythm is and what kind of rhythm can pull the audience into the context of your story. ”

Of course, there are also many books that teach you what is called movie rhythm, such as a small climax in five minutes, a medium climax in ten minutes, and a big climax in thirty minutes. Another example is the frequency of camera switching, how many effective shots are needed for all scenes so that the audience will not be distracted, etc., such as the emotional ups and downs of the performance, etc., which are all part of the rhythm. ”

"Let's talk about what freshness is in the film and how the director expresses the freshness. In fact, the freshness is not subtle, and if it is broken, it will surprise the audience. For example, if we shoot a street fight, is it a panoramic shot of a regular shot, and then add a few close-up shots of the participants, and finally add some close-up shots, and that's it, right? ”

"It's the most conventional way to shoot, but what's new? We don't shoot like that. For example, we use some shoulder-mounted shots to show the subjective shots of the participants, so that the audience is immersed in the scene and feels like they are one of them. For another example, we switched to the perspective of a dog watching the battle, and let the audience turn into an animal to see how ridiculous it is for humans to quarrel. ”

"Another example is this guy on the street who is having a big fight, and the others are turning a blind eye. Or a child with a runny nose will watch the adults quarrel for a while, and watch the ants on the ground fight for a while. And so on, we can think of many ways to deal with it. This is called freshness, which makes the audience feel that this expression is peculiar, and turns an otherwise noisy conflict into an interesting picture. ”

"Of course, this kind of freshness can't be used indiscriminately, if one of your scenes is obviously the highest point of the whole plot, and the audience wants to watch this, but you freshly transfer the audience's emotions, then this is a failed method."

"Speaking of acting, the performance we will talk about here is different from the performance we will talk about in the next class. The performance here is the performance in the eyes of the director, what kind of performance you need from the director, and you have to think about how each actor should perform from the role of creation and audience. ”

"Thirdly, how do you find your own style and artistic expression? This is the director, after you have the basic directing skills and have the level that can make the audience enjoy watching it, let's talk about the pursuit of style and art. For example, Zhang Yimou's color style, such as John Woo's violent aesthetic style, such as Kundera's circular narrative style......"

After talking about what the director should create, he talked about the director's skills and routines, and finally talked about what he was a good director in He Fang's mind.

Of course, in order not to make the students feel bored, he also interacts with the students from time to time.

The director's skills and routines are mainly explained from how the director controls the photography, how to use lighting and art to adjust the color, how to play scheduling, how to adjust the actors' performances, and even how to do the post-film production.

not only came up with his own examples, but also took out many examples of classic and good movies to explain.

This really makes some teachers nod their heads, many teachers in the film school don't have much experience in filmmaking, many of them just analyze the film, you let them teach the students how to write the movie script, how to schedule, etc., how to solve some difficulties in the real filming, even they don't know it, what to teach?

This is what He Fang said to Wang Changtian before, the students trained by the film academy are not what the market needs, which causes the problem of misalignment between education and employment.

After a 15-minute break in the middle, several teachers chatted about some filming knowledge around Hefang, especially to understand how Hollywood generally deals with some difficult content, which made some teachers think.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, He Fang finally finished the director's part, and the next thing was to talk about the performance.

There are more and more people who come to listen to the lectures, and even some people from other schools have come, and before the class, listen to them chatting below, as if there is a Chinese opera, Beijing Normal University.

He Fang was also speechless, but he couldn't control it so much, since Nortel himself didn't stop the people from other schools, what did he care.

"Okay, let's finish the last lecture of the day, even if the task is completed, I can go back to sleep." He Fang walked up to the center of the stage and said after taking a sip of water.

"Ha," the audience was also happy.

"In the end, we're talking about acting, acting, I can't talk about it, you say it's simple, it's complicated, all kinds of genre doctrines. You say it's complicated, it's the little thing that squeezes the expression on the face and the body movements. ”

"Haha......" The audience in the audience was amused by He Fang's words, and it felt like saying that the coolest thing for men and women is that little thing.

"As for me, I've been learning acting since I was a child, and what my mother taught me was what she knew."

"She will be more dramatic, focusing on the basic skills of the body, her eyes must be practiced well, her lines must be clear and loud, she must have emotions and rhythms, and the rest is to practice some skills of expression. This is what my mom taught me. ”

"Later, I went to the United States to study, and I learned that there are still schools of acting, and I heard that most of the teachings in China are experiential schools, and they are also the methods of the Stanley performance system, is that true?"

"Yes......" the students in the audience echoed.

"Okay, then I'll talk about the acting methods and techniques that I learned in the United States and what my mother taught me, which I personally think are more practical, because I can't do anything else." He Fang spread his hands helplessly, and the audience laughed.

"If you know my classmates, you may know that when I was making my first film, Far Cry, I asked the actors to strengthen their physical performances to enrich the performance. I learned it in the United States, and I heard that it was one of the techniques of the methodology. ”

"Actually, my teacher at the California Institute of the Arts taught us the seven methods and techniques of acting, which are the specific practical content of the methodology."

"Next, I'm going to share what I know with you, but of course, it's not always true."

What are the seven methods? Let's take a look at this table. ”

"One is to master facial expressions, the second is to simulate the life state of the character, the third is how to quickly transition to another state, the fourth is to seek various requirements for comfort, the fifth is the skill of crying or smiling, the sixth is to master the professional skills of the character, and the seventh is the emotional memory technique."

"Let's talk about how these seven skills are trained......

Dry goods, what Fang said today's plays, directors, and performances are all dry goods, which even Mr. Qian Lin and the leaders of the film academy are very surprised.

When I came, I talked about dry goods, and I talked about how to actually operate, that is, how to let Xiaobai get started and novices on the road.

There aren't so many ideas, concepts, academic stuff, it's all skills.

The students understood, and the teachers thoughtful.

"Director He, what you just talked about is methodological skills, so how can newcomers like us impress the director to get the role during the audition process?" A student stood up and asked.

He Fang is really tired, fighting continuously and non-stop, but fortunately, I have learned some Tai Chi with Wu Jing these days, and my physical strength is slightly better.

"That's a good question, I'm also a young person, so I don't like things that are empty, I like dry goods. What I'm going to say next is probably what you've all learned in school, but it doesn't matter, I've summed it up well. ”

"First of all, after the actor gets the audition script, you have to determine the character's background, occupation, personality, physical condition, cultural level, and the environment he is in now, and most importantly, whether the role is the protagonist or a supporting role."

"Remember, these six points are very, very important. Because the last 'environment' of the character determines what the first five characteristics make him react to now, for example, a very thin and chronic courier who falls into the sewer and sees that the delivery is about to be delayed. So, what should he do? ”

"I believe everyone can understand this, so how to make a reasonable performance reaction? At this point, your basic skills will be used. ”

"Do you usually practice the performance practice of thin people climbing and carrying things? Have you ever observed how a courier communicates with customers and companies? Have you ever observed how chronic children respond to emergencies? ”

"If you've practiced, congratulations, you'll be able to handle this kind of performance with ease. If you're not practicing, then ...... There is nothing in the world that you will not be able to succeed in the world, and if there is, it means that you have a relationship. ”

"There are no shortcuts to acting, and anyone who tries to take shortcuts will definitely not become a good actor."

"The most important thing I just said is whether the role you get is a starring role or a supporting role. If it is a supporting role, then as long as you usually have solid basic skills, I believe you can win the role. ”

"If it's the main character, then you're getting a challenge because it's possible that your competitors are better than you. At this time, you must learn a method. ”

"It's about taking the temperament that you understand about the character and then showing that temperament, and that's what makes you unique. Only this thing can help you win the role, if you don't win it, it proves that the director doesn't like your temperament, don't be discouraged, go back and practice hard. ”

"Finally, I will teach you one of the easiest ways to improve your acting skills, that is, the silent confession acting method, that is, you don't say the lines on your mouth, but you use your mind to control your eyes to say the lines."

"This is also called a play in the eyes in the industry, and this is definitely a magic weapon that allows you to control most of the characters. I use this skill a lot, and it's very useful, I'll give you an example. ”

"The director said to you, 'Come, show me a person with a faint murderous aura', how do you act?"

"I teach you a method, that is, you stare at the director or the object that the director asks you to perform, and silently say in your own heart, 'This person, I want to kill him', or you silently say in your heart, 'The enemy has finally been found, I want to kill him, no, I can't let him feel my murderous aura', the latter kind of performance exudes murderous aura but is forcibly hidden murderous aura."

"In this way, you will be able to show a faint murderous aura."

At this time, one of the students asked, "What if the director asked me to act with a strong murderous aura?" ”

"Haha......" everyone laughed.

He Fang spread his hands, "Then you can silently recite in your heart ten or a hundred times, 'I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him', I don't believe you can test each other to see if it has any effect." The number of times you meditate determines how murderous you are. The same applies to love, when you say 'I really love him' to someone, you will have love on your face. If you say 'I love him so much, I love him so much' ten times in silence, then you are showing a deep sense of love. ”

……

Dry goods, and full of dry goods, He Fang's explanation made all the students in the audience tremble with excitement, and they all wanted to try He Fang's method immediately to quickly improve their acting skills.

He talked until half past five in the afternoon, and He Fang really couldn't speak, and then repeatedly said that the lecture was over, but the students below were all kinds of questions.

For example, how to make physical performance not arouse the director's disgust, such as how to control the performance of the villain, such as mastering the professional skills of the character, is it life experience......

At six o'clock, He Fang finally finished the lecture, he was really tired and collapsed in his chair, drinking water and smoking.

"Director He, you give such a good lecture, why don't you give you an editing class next time." Qian Lin teased with a smile.

"Teacher Qian, please, don't be like this, I really can't talk about it."

"Haha...... Mr. Qian, you scared He Dao Xue this time. Wu Jing smiled.

"Haha......"

……

"Wow, He Fang's class is really good, if he had given us such a class earlier, I would have been able to take over that role in Hengdian when I was a freshman."

"Don't say it, I have an audition the day after tomorrow, I have to try somewhere quickly, it feels very practical."

"You said there was a way to take him down, don't you think he's handsome?"

"Hey, do you think you don't want to? If you have the ability, you can take it. ”

"Hee-hee, I'm just thinking about ......"
