Chinese opera, Dongchang Hutong, Dongchang Hutong, Chinese opera...... The simple two points and one line, the simple rehearsal, and going home made Jiang Xun feel very fulfilled and happy.

Pushing open the door, you can see the busy figure in the kitchen, and always at this time, Jiang Xun will have a burst of heat in his heart......

"Oh, water heater?" Jiang Xun saw that a water heater had been installed in the kitchen at some point, "Rongsheng brand? How does this stuff work? ”

"Brother Ding asked someone to come over to give An, I want to give him money, he won't take it, you see, just the two knobs below......" Yang Zhe seemed to be the hostess, and that tone seemed to have been with Jiang Xun for many years.

"Others want to give, but Brother Ding doesn't have to." Jiang Xun smiled and picked up a washed cucumber, "The day before yesterday, how about watching our vegetarian row?" ”

"Well, do you mean you don't wear costumes," Yang Zhe shook the water in his hand, "I feel like you're acting very well......"

"You see me?"

Yang Zhe smiled, "Can I not see you on the stage, watch you play Liu Feng, the art troupe, the deputy company commander, and the ...... of Ban'er."

Oh, Jiang Xun smiled, "Do you feel like you have three boyfriends?" ”

"Hmm......" Yang Zhe also smiled, she took out a ham and wanted to make an egg scrambled ham.

Jiang Xun walked out of the kitchen, thinking, pondering, thinking about Director Xia Chun, Dean So, Teacher Su Min, and Director Xie Jin...... Teach yourself.

He walked inside and flipped through his book of actors' tips.

Oh, this is Director Xie Jin's gift to him when Xin Shishiniang's crew parted-

"Jiang Xun, you remember, acting, you have to grasp people's fate, people's feelings, people's personalities, and people's changes!"

This, isn't this the character arc?

Since opening the rehearsal of "Fanghua", he has written more than 200,000 words just for the character biography, which is more than the number of words in the script.

Now, in the character of Liu Feng, he clearly sees the arc of the character.

What is a character arc?

In Jiang Xun's own view, "character arc" is a technique often used by screenwriters, specifically "character arc" refers to the change of the character's nature, including good changes and bad changes.

The most touching moment of a character is what the audience sees that can make the character "sublimated" when the plot "reversal" occurs on him.

For example, in Stephen Chow's films, he may not mean to, but he can often see in the protagonist that it may not be rich, but it is extraordinarily distinct, and even has contrasting changes.

In "Kung Fu", the protagonist goes from a street ruffian who makes a mistake to finally wakes up and becomes a hero.

"Su Qi'er" tells the story of an exaggerated and domineering rich young master, who began to restrain when his family was defeated, and then worked hard to be admitted to the martial arts champion.

In "Journey to the West", it is a change from a person who plans to partner with monsters to eat his master Tang Seng, become the king of the mountain after reincarnation, and learn about a series of past events from many encounters in the end, and is determined to let go of personal emotions and take on the mission of learning the Western Scriptures.

For another example, the second-generation godfather "Mike" in "The Godfather", he was originally a young man who was disgusted with the family business, went to college, and joined the army, which reflected his completely different choices from his brothers, and his personality at that time was also sincere and straightforward.

Later, when the family changed, the old godfather was assassinated, and he stood up for the family and his father, went to end the enemy, and left Sicily.

Later, even in Sicily, he couldn't really stay out of it, and almost was assassinated. His new wife died as a result and returned to the United States. After starting to take over his father's business and clean up the family's internal affairs, he also became cold-blooded, cruel, and gloomy.

In the end, in order to establish his authority, he did not hesitate to order the second brother who made mistakes but repented to be shot......

From the second part onwards, his character is almost completely different from the previous one, cold, decisive in killing, etc., and even his wife has become more and more incomprehensible to him, and this transformation may be understood from the distorted understanding brought by "power and struggle", or from the perspective of "the survival situation of the gangsters".

And later, in the third part, in order to seek the understanding of his family, he began to make many efforts, and even confessed in front of the priest that he had killed people and killed his brother.

The curves of the characters that change over time are quite rich.

The character of Liu Feng has undergone three transformations, first as a glamorous dancer in the art troupe, then as the deputy company commander in the test of blood and fire on the battlefield, and then as the ban'er who has fallen to the bottom of society...... I've done all kinds of menial work,......

Life is so impermanent, there may be no end in sight, there may be no hope, but he still has to raise his mantis arm and try his best to block the wheel of fate......

Such ups and downs, suffering like a knife, cut off the arrogance of his body little by little, so that this character stands in front of you alive, you can't hate it, and you can't love it......

Such a character is undoubtedly difficult to play, this character was with a literati temperament when he first appeared, and after experiencing many things in the later stage, his character and even the role gradually changed into another type.

Such a character is a person with the brilliance of humanity in complexity! Even writing a short biography of a character may not be very effective.

"What do you want?" During the meal, Yang Zhe opened two bottles of the Arctic Ocean, and this summer, the Arctic Ocean sold very hot, and everyone in Beiping City seemed to be thirsty for soda.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to act." In front of the girl, Jiang Xun told the truth.

"How come," Yang Zhe put an egg into his bowl, "You are Jiang Xun of human art." ”

Renyi?

Renyi!

Jiang Xun smiled, he drank a bottle of soda in one gulp, "Tomorrow we will go to Renyi together." ”

"I'm going too?" Yang Zhe bit his chopsticks, the last time he went to Renyi, it was when Jiang Xun was clearing a thunderstorm.

"Well, let Yu Yuan, Director Xia take a look at you." Jiang Xun was very proud, "Look at whether my girlfriend is beautiful or not, virtuous or not?" ”

"Virtue." Yang Zhe smiled and glanced at him.

……

Liu Feng's two transformations really can't be handled simply, otherwise, the audience will think that an actor in the art troupe is being the deputy company commander, and a member of the art troupe is being the board master, and you have to perform the psychological change.

So he was not there, Director Xia Chun helped Jiang Xun analyze the characters.

When the two of them left Director Xia Chun's office, the wilting voice sounded outside the door, "Who is it, is Xunzi back?" I've heard that now the Xunzi of Renyi is famous......"

Yes, Director Xia Chun smiled, and Jiang Xun also smiled.

Yang Zhe looked at Jiang Xun with an inquiring face, but Jiang Xun walked out quickly, hugged the old man in the corridor tightly, and the old man pushed him with disgust, "Let go of me, let go of me, it's not big or small, Director Xia, look at me standing with Xunzi, is it the sketch that responded to Xunzi?" ”

Well, Director Xia Chun is also happy.

"It's that sketch, the protagonist and supporting role, I, I've never played the protagonist in my life......"
