Cao Ping slowly withdrew his internal qi, the expression on his face relaxed, the whole person was withdrawn from the performance state, and he said to himself beautifully: "I feel good this time." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 What he didn't know was that just now, he had done a top-notch masterclass. If there are knowledgeable people here, they will definitely doubt their eyes, and Cao Ping's performance just now is almost a copy of Gary Oldman.

As we all know, Gary Oldman is a unique actor with a distinctive style, and a series of characters he has created have vivid character and personal charm, he played Dracula in "400 Years of Shock", Beethoven in "Eternal Love", Sirius in the "Harry Potter" series, and even Stanfield in "This Killer is Not Too Cold", all of whom have been endowed with strong vitality and left a deep impression on the audience, and some people commented that his performance was like a pool of steaming blood sprinkled on the snow. It's not just the bright colors that stand out, but also the pungent smell and the hot and cold smell. Undoubtedly, it is almost impossible to reproduce such a unique performance method, but just now, it was perfectly imitated by Cao Ping.

Yes, I use the word imitation because it's not a performance, it's just a perfect imitation, but it's already the dream of countless experiential and methodist actors.

Here is a brief explanation of the difference between experientialism, methodology, and expressionism, and the experiential "requirement for performance is to start from the self and live in the situation of the character." It is to let the actor really regard himself as that role, and the final performance is natural, as if he is recording his own life. The experiential actors have been in the play for the longest time, and it takes a while to get out of the play, and people often say that they are too deep in the play, which is the experiential actors, so many heroes and heroines who act in romantic dramas will fake the drama and take it seriously, and finally come together, and many of them are invested in the plot, so that they believe in their love for each other. Experience is the most difficult and the most talented, liberating oneself, believing that the situation itself is a talent, simply put, it is for you to play a homosexual, you have to believe that you are a homosexual, substitute yourself into the role, the unity of man and drama is the highest realm, just like Leslie Cheung's interpretation of Chen Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine", it is perfect.

The actor must be proficient in observing facts, figuring out the behavior in real life, imagining the psychological condition of the character, creating the character's own character and life, and establishing emotional linkage with the audience through facial expressions and body language, guiding the audience into the inner world of the character, and creating a realistic experience. Methodism is a continuation and supplement of experientialism, and its core idea is still the core of experientialism. But there is one significant difference, and that is that the methodists allow the actor to replace the person with whom they are communicating, while the experiential school does not. For example, a straight man plays a gay guy and makes him fall in love with a man. The method school allows the straight male actor to imagine the opponent substitution as a woman, while the experience school does not allow it. Experientialism demands that you must find the part of your love in this same-sex person. Most of the actors from professional classes belong to the method school, pay attention to the sound and table schedule, and the master actors of the method school are the most.

Expressionism is the opposite of experientialism, which does not emphasize starting from the self, but emphasizes the construction of a "character image" in the heart, emphasizing imitation. At the same time, Expressionism does not advocate subconscious living in situations, but emphasizes grasping and designing. To put it simply, expressionism is to act from the perspective of God, through rational analysis and design, and at the same time, the performance has a fixed pattern, and the clever person does not need to invest in feelings, but only uses exquisite movements, expressions, tones, etc. to make a character plump. Expressionist acting skills are mostly seen in industrial assembly-line films, so this type of performance is often seen in TVB TV dramas, and the representative character is Ma Jingtao, the leader of the roaring sect. Expressionist acting skills are mostly seen among young actors, because expressiveism can set a fixed routine, which is easy to achieve quickly, but the result of rapid performance is that it often brings people a stiff and poor acting feeling, which is also inevitable, and the pursuit of efficiency cannot pursue quality, but this does not mean that the performanceist is weaker than the other two, but the performance party has much higher requirements for actors' skills than the other two factions, and the actor needs to understand the role quite thoroughly, and can easily interpret the role, so that he can perform through the expressionist technique, which requires the accumulation of long-term performance experience of the actor, and only the actor's level is one level higher than the difficulty of the role, which is something that can be encountered and unattainable. For example, letting Marlon Brando in "The Godfather" play an underworld boss in "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly easy to control, but it is just an analogy, and it doesn't have to be taken seriously.

Acting is an art, there is no doubt about it, it is the need for actors to make a character have vitality, this is the process of creation, not the process of imitation, but the ability shown by Cao Ping can hardly be called imitation anymore. Excellent actors are always scarce, and excellent actors are also very personal styles, a police role, let Xiao Li Zi play it is one style, let Jim Carrey play another style, let Wu Zhenyu and Leung Jiahui play, maybe it can give the role another feeling. And Cao Ping's imitation ability can almost be said to be able to show the style of all actors, as long as he has seen the actor's performance, he can reproduce it exactly what, what a terrifying ability, he can show Leslie Cheung's Chen Dieyi, can reproduce Heath Ledger's clown, Tony Leung's "The True Story of A Fei", and Edward Norton's "First Class Fear" Allen! It can be said that even if Cao Ping does not have the talent of the experiential school, if any director discovers his talent, he will definitely cry and hug his thighs and ask him to be the leading actor of his own movie, but Cao Ping just patted his ass and jumped down to go back to the store to eat.

Cao Ping stayed at home for two days, looked at the teaching materials, practiced boxing, and on Friday, Wang Yuan said hello, and Cao Ping went to the Ming and Qing Dynasty residences alone to audition for the crew of "The Legend of Lu Zhen".

When he arrived at the crew, Cao Ping saw an acquaintance, Zhong Zhipeng, who was in the crew of "The King of Lanling", and stepped forward to greet him in surprise: "Director Zhong, are you here too?"

Zhong Zhipeng was instructing the staff to set up the scene, looked back suspiciously, and saw that it was Cao Ping, so he nodded. He had some impressions of Cao Ping, that time he ate barbecue at his table inside, and when he was on the set, he often watched the shooting effects behind the director, so he and Cao Ping also knew each other, he nodded and said, "You are also here?"

Cao Ping nodded and said, "Yes, come and try Wu Ti, and interview for a role." Zhong Zhipeng patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Yes, they have all started to play roles! Wu Ti still needs to think about it? I have seen your skills, and there is no one else except you." ”

Cao Ping smiled and said, "I've borrowed your auspicious words!" After a few more greetings, Cao Ping said goodbye and left.

Zhong Zhipeng is the person he admired the most in addition to the director when he was in the crew of "Lanling King", the picture that was transferred by his hand is different, the art director is responsible for coordinating the lighting, photography, special effects, costumes, props, editing and editing of the work of each group of personnel to design the overall visual style, it can be said that the picture effect shot by the film was created by the art director, in the crew of "Lanling King", so arrogant Allen was also respectful in front of Zhong Zhipeng. There is a saying in the director circle: Good actors are easy to find, but good beauty is hard to find. The director's responsibility is to shoot the written script into a picture, and the beauty finger is to restore the director's requirements and creativity into a real scene for the actors to perform. Big directors basically have their own special beauty fingers, and the most important thing for a director to pull up his own team to go out and work alone is to find a suitable beauty finger first. Zhang Shuping, the current four major beauty fingers in China, is Wong Kar-wai's royal art director, Tim Yip has won the Oscar, Cao Jiuping is Zhang Yimou's royal director, Huo Tingxiao was Chen Kaige's royal beauty finger, and later directed Zhang Yimou's "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides". If the director is a chef, then the beauty finger is the kitchen knife in the chef's hand, processing the material into the way he wants.

Cao Ping looked at the time, quickened his pace, and after a while, he found the casting director's office, where there were already several actors waiting for the audition, and Cao Ping quickly stepped forward to report.

This audition was not as formal as Cao Ping imagined, because the main actors were all selected before the start, and Cao Ping interviewed a small supporting role this time, but the director found a slightly secluded place and let the actors play a section OK.

The actors were called by the director in turn, and then the proposition improvised a paragraph, and I saw a group of people standing in the middle one by one or crying or laughing, or standing or kneeling, which was originally a somewhat funny picture, but everyone was watching very seriously. This is a very common scenario in Hengdian.

Soon arrived at Cao Ping, the director read his name, Cao Ping agreed, and walked forward quickly, the director of this casting is called Deng Weien, who is also a Hong Kong director, Cao Ping bowed slightly, and said: "Hello Director Deng, my name is Cao Ping, 18 years old this year, from Shaanxi Province." ”

Director Deng sat on the chair, nodded, and said, "Mandarin is good, basically no accent." Looking at Cao Ping's appearance again, Director Deng nodded slightly and said, "You are a beggar now, come to beg in the morning, and find that someone has taken your place, you want to drive him away, you play it for me." ”

Cao Ping nodded, took two steps, and kicked twice with his foot, as if kicking a person on the ground, and at the same time raised his head and said, "Hey, you're new! Hurry up!"

Cao Ping looked at Director Deng with his spare eyes, but found that Director Deng frowned, his heart chuckled, and his movements were a little deformed, Cao Ping quickly stood up straight, apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Director Deng, I'm a little nervous, can you give me another chance?"

Director Deng was slightly impatient, but still said: "The last chance, if you can't leave." ”

Cao Ping hurriedly nodded, stood up again, he took a deep breath, quickly figured out the feeling of playing a beggar, and at the same time scolded himself, how did he drop the chain at the critical moment? Wasn't it very good to act yesterday? Thinking of yesterday, Cao Ping had an idea, and quickly transported a trace of internal qi, chained into the brain, Cao Ping's spirit platform was clear, the brain was running rapidly, and the pictures of dozens of beggars he had seen came to mind, Cao Ping saw a relatively clear, and his heart must be you!

Director Deng saw Cao Ping standing still with his eyes closed below, he couldn't help but be a little impatient, playing such a small role would have to be brewing for a long time, he was about to get angry, but saw Cao Ping's eyes open, and at the same time, as if he had changed someone, his body curled up slightly, one hand into a claw, the other hand clenched into a fist, as if holding a broken bowl and a stick, Cao Ping swayed slightly and took two steps forward, with a strange rhythm in his steps, Director Deng's eyes lit up and he sat up straight.

Cao Ping's feet were tossed and turned, as if he was stepping on a spring, and his face made a high-spirited expression, one side of his eyebrows was raised high, the other side was drooping, the corners of his mouth were bent down, and his mouth said: "Hey, get up, boy, you are new, hurry up, get out!"

Cao Ping tilted his head, as if watching the man walk away, sat on the ground with one leg straight, one leg bent like a bracket, put one arm on it, stretched his neck forward, with a flattering smile on his face, one hand stretched out, and said in his mouth: "Okay everyone, give some leftovers!" Then the expression on his face changed, returned to his original appearance, stood up, and said to Director Deng: "Director, I'm done performing." ”

Director Deng touched his chin and thought for a long time, this is a beggar character who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, most people will focus on the arrogant look and action of the beggar when performing, and the performance will disgust the audience. But Cao Ping performed a witty and playful feeling through subtle expressions, and the rhythm of his whole performance and the skills of his lines are very sophisticated, and there is an exaggerated performance trace, which is really familiar, Director Deng thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of where he had seen it.

There was no way, Director Deng nodded, and let the next one start performing, the next one was a tall and thin man in his thirties, and after flattering the director, he started to perform, but Director Deng couldn't watch it at all, because he was still thinking about Cao Ping's performance just now. This character is a small supporting role, although there are not many scenes, but it is also a key role, and there is a rivalry with the heroine. When the heroine was wandering the streets, she took the heroine to Master Chengnanjiang, who forged her official status. is a comedic role, used to dilute the heroine's sense of loss on the streets, and Cao Ping's performance undoubtedly fits this point, but where have you ever seen this kind of performance style? Very familiar, very exaggerated performance methods, etc? exaggerated? nonsensical? Director Deng slapped his thigh and said loudly: "I remember! Stephen Chow?"

The thin and tall man was just halfway through the performance, and was interrupted by the director, so he had to stand in place in embarrassment, but Director Deng asked Cao Ping eagerly: "Who is that? Cao Ping, right? Your performance just now was Stephen Chow's way, right?

Cao Ping was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, I ......" He just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Director Deng, who waved his hand and said to Cao Ping: "It's you! You come with me. ”
