Chapter 114: Final Exam
In the blink of an eye, the weather in Beijing is already quite hot, and the shade of the trees in the tree-lined corridors and the air-conditioned seats in the library have become the targets of most students. There are not many people on the court www.biquge.info pen & fun > court, on the one hand, because the weather is already hot, and on the other hand, because most people have to prepare for the final test at the end of each semester, which is usually the final exam.
There were a total of 27 people in the class, but they were divided into four groups, and he and Shang Yuxian, Sun Jialu and Wu Yue made up a group. Several people decided to challenge the classics and play a clip of Zhou Puyuan and Mei Shiping recognizing each other in the classic drama "Thunderstorm", which is the most impactful and well-known part of the whole play, and it is one of the classic passages performed by countless outstanding predecessors. The previous students led by Huang Lei have almost every class of students who will choreograph this play as a graduation drama.
It is precisely because Zhuyu is in front that the performances of several people will inevitably be compared with the former, so they must not make a mistake, otherwise they will be infinitely magnified. Therefore, Cao Ping has been studying the script every day for more than a month, and the ball is not playing, and he occasionally forgets to eat, Zhang Yishan said that he is crazy, and he can only bring him food back to eat every day.
Soon, the time is approaching the end of the period, and their drama has gone very skillfully, but Cao Ping still has no bottom in his heart, as "Thunderstorm", which has the status of a pioneer of Chinese drama, the plot is not complicated, and the relationship between the characters is relatively clear, but in the simple storyline, the emotional conflict with Chinese characteristics is so intense, every line, every subtle expression needs to be carefully grasped, and there is not much time left for them.
Although at present, choosing this theme is indeed a bit risky for a few of them who have just touched the threshold of the performance department, but there is no time to change the theme, but this is good, it can expose more problems, and it is also convenient for teachers to carry out targeted guidance, and it is also a way to quickly improve their level.
On the eve of the final exam, Cao Ping couldn't sleep for a long time, very excited, Mr. Huang Lei has revealed that Mr. Wang Zhiwen will be invited to audit and guide tomorrow's exam, which not only raises the tension of all students to a higher level, but also cheers up everyone again.
On the day of the exam, Wang Zhiwen really arrived and watched the students' performances throughout the whole process. Cao Ping and the four of them were the last to appear, and when the others came on stage to perform, they were still familiar with the lines at the end. Mr. Wang's aura is very strong, and under his gaze, the performances of the first three groups have more or less problems, but they are all harmless.
Soon, it was Cao Ping's turn to play, took a deep breath, and the four of them walked to the middle of the practice room, Shang Yuxian made an introduction at the beginning: "Hello teachers, hello students, the four of us are performing a fragment of "Thunderstorm" today, Cao Ping plays Zhou Puyuan, Sun Jialu plays Lu Ma, I play Zhou Ping, and Wu Yue plays Lu Dahai. ”
Huang Lei nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's start!" The teachers of the professional courses were basically present, plus Wang Zhiwen and the leaders of the department, six people in a row sat in a row, without squinting, and there was still some pressure.
The props for this scene are very simple, one table, two chairs are enough, and the raincoat needed for the props is casually borrowed and placed on the table.
Cao Ping sat on the chair, still playing the drum in his heart, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, this was the first time he had performed so seriously. He has watched the original play countless times, although he can imitate Mr. Sun Daolin to show a palace-level performance through his internal qi, but it is meaningless, he still wants to show this extremely challenging role through himself.
Although it can't be imitated through internal qi, Cao Ping's mastery of the muscles and tendons on his body is no longer human, and at the moment when Huang Lei shouted, Cao Ping's body shrank slightly, the muscles of his limbs were tense, and his joints became a little stiff, with a hint of old spirit.
Wang Zhiwen sat up straight, all the professionals present could see the good and the bad, and his attention immediately focused on Cao Ping.
Cao Ping fumbled twice, and the action of taking out cigarettes and matches from his pocket trembled slightly, and when he lit the cigarette, the slight wrinkle on his brow showed the boredom in his heart at the moment, but the breathing rhythm of slowly exhaling the smoke restrained his emotions.
Wang Zhiwen and Huang Lei looked at each other and smiled, it was a bit interesting! This scene was that Zhou Puyuan had just quarreled with Su Yi, and this was not the first time that such a quarrel had occurred, and Cao Ping's handling of this emotion was very good, which made Wang Zhiwen and Huang Lei feel a sense of surprise.
Cao Ping, who entered the plot, did not pay attention to the audience, and his mind was already fully invested in the plot. He glanced at the clothes on the table and asked Sun Jialu, "Is this the raincoat that Mrs. found out?"
Sun Jialu paused slightly, looked at him and said, "Probably yes." ”
Cao Ping picked up the raincoat and looked at it and put it down, and said with a hint of irritation in his tone: "No, no, this is all new." I want my old raincoat, you go back and tell my wife. ”
Raising his eyes and glancing at him, Sun Jialu slowly lowered his eyebrows and said one word: "Hmm." ”
Huang Lei took a breath and looked at Wang Zhiwen, also seeing a hint of surprise in his eyes. The plot of this scene is mainly the rivalry between Zhou Puyuan and Lu Ma, Cao Ping and Sun Jialu each have a large number of lines, and they also have to cooperate with the emotional release of Zhang Chi, originally after Cao Ping started to perform, he was still a little worried that Sun Jialu, who was looking at the quiet, would be suppressed by Cao Ping, but after two lines were spoken, Sun Jialu did not fall into the disadvantage at all, and in terms of line skills, she was half a chip better than Cao Ping. There is no way to fake the line skills, you can hear it as soon as you hear it, the performance is extreme, you can mobilize the audience's emotions without lines, and a look can make people cry. And the line skills are to the extreme, even if the face is expressionless, a word or even a word can let the audience understand the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the character, and Sun Jialu's line skills, although they are far from the extreme, are not at the level of ordinary students, very kung fu!
With the development of the plot, both of them have entered the play, Sun Jialu trembled her lips, but her hands were clenched tightly, her eyes were full of tears, and she said sadly and angrily: "Life! ”
Although Mei Shiping has always been remembered in his heart, the beautiful and moving woman who is never forgotten in his memory cannot be equated with the Lu Ma in front of him. Thinking that it was her son who took the lead in making a workers' revolution and gave him a headache, Zhou Puyuan faced his old lover, but still said coldly: "After thirty years of work, you still found here." ”
Sun Jialu took two steps forward and said angrily: "I didn't come to look for you! I didn't look for you! I thought you were dead! I didn't expect to come here today, this is the day I want to meet you here again." With that, tears have come out of his eyes.
Cao Ping took two quick steps to the right, closed the window, turned around and said, "You can calm down." Now you and I are both people with children, if you feel wronged in your heart, at such an old age, we don't have to cry first. ”
Sun Jialu sneered and said: "Crying, hum, my tears have dried up a long time ago, I have no grievances, what I have is hatred, regret, and I have suffered myself day by day for thirty years." Thirty years ago, only three days after I gave birth to your second son on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you forced me to brave the snow to go out in order to quickly marry that rich and well-established young lady, and asked me to leave the door of your Zhou family. ”
Watching the performance of the two on stage, Huang Lei and Wang Zhiwen got together and bit their ears, these two are rare good seedlings! This Sun Jialu looks quiet, but the emotional tension is so great, as long as he polishes and controls it a little, he will definitely be a seedling of literary films in the future. What's even more surprising is Cao Ping, although he has only taken a semester of professional classes, but his progress speed makes every teacher who has taken him speechless, Huang Lei is an acting teacher, he has watched him grow up step by step, although the speed of progress has been very significant, but today his performance still amazed Huang Lei.
Cao Ping, who officially entered the plot, vividly performed a hypocrite who was sanctimonious on the surface, but was actually extremely fierce and cunning, but what surprised him more than his acting skills was the stability of Cao Ping's state. Sun Jialu was too deep into the play, and the emotional rendering was already a little out of control, but she was picked up by Cao Ping, and even made her tension more outgoing, making the plot and drama conflict more obvious, and the scene that came out was also very good-looking, and the little girls next to her were already too involved in the play and their eyes were red.
Shang Yuxian and Wu Yue have relatively few roles, the two of them are also actors with excellent professional quality, Lu Dahai said that Shang Yuxian's role in Zhou Ping also made the teachers' eyes shine, after all, he is the first student in the professional class, and his acting skills are still remarkable.
After the whole performance, Cao Ping and the others received warm applause, standing in front of the teachers, Wang Zhiwen first spoke: "I'll say a few words first." As freshmen, you are already very courageous to choose this topic, here I will praise Cao Ping by name, of course, the rest of you have performed very well, but Cao Ping is the most surprising to me today. Huang Lei smiled and nodded, obviously he also recognized this.
Wang Zhiwen said to Sun Jialu: "Classmate Sun, you were just now, I will serve you, and my children will serve the young masters you gave birth to." This is my retribution. My retribution. In the process of processing this line, the mood is obviously a bit of a diner, and I read a word wrong, right? I saw that you were a little panicked, but Cao Ping quickly brought you back. This surprised me. ”
After a pause, Wang Zhiwen said: "Good actors are not taught, they are brought out, you Teacher Huang should have told you this sentence, acting is a thing, it can't be taught, you can only understand it a little bit, but not every actor has talent in this area, so for ordinary actors like me, there is only one way, that is, diligence can make up for it." When you study the script more thoroughly than anyone else, then what you perform will be deeper than others. Therefore, my appreciation for Cao Ping is not for how good his talent is, but from his actions just now, I can see his deeper understanding of the script, which is also a point I hope you can all learn, which will be very useful in your future career path. ”
Everyone applauded again, listening to the applause surrounding him, Cao Ping's mood was inexplicably calm, as if these were all taken for granted by himself who had worked hard during this time.
Huang Lei made a brief comment again, the first half of the 13th year of study has come to an end, and the students will also usher in a long vacation of more than two months, which is also one of the last rare leisure times for everyone before graduation.
However, for Cao Ping, there is no holiday, and the day after the holiday, he went to Beijing Huairou Film and Television Base to report on the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife".
