Chapter 107: This tuition fee is not a loss
With a slight bow, Cao Ping said: "Hello students, hello teacher Huang Lei, my name is Cao Ping, I am nineteen years old this year, and I am from Shaanxi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”
"That's it?" Huang Lei smiled: "Talk more! You will be classmates in the future, everyone knows more, are you a student in school, or why do you want to come to learn acting?"
Nodding with a smile, Cao Ping said: "I'm not a student, I dropped out of high school due to personal reasons, and I am currently an actor. ”
Huang Lei seemed to be very interested and asked, "Then what roles have you played?"
Cao Ping said: "I was a stand-in at the beginning, and I was a martial arts substitute for Li Yifeng in the crew of "Lanling King", and then played some dragon roles, as well as the "Legend of Lu Zhen" that is being filmed, and I have a small role in it......"
"Haha, the ...... of the dead run" A voice sounded, Cao Ping was stunned, a thin boy was talking to the classmates next to him, Huang Lei turned around and shouted: "Zhang Mingming!" The boy named Zhang Mingming smiled and stretched out his hand to surrender, saying: "Joking, joking!"
This kind of little kid can't affect Cao Ping's mood, although he is not much older than them, smiled, Cao Ping quoted Xing Ye's lines and replied: "Actually, I am an actor. Subsequently, Cao Ping continued: "My recent work is to do martial arts instruction work in the crew of "The Grandmaster", and the movie has just been taken off the shelves not long ago. ”
"Is it Wong Kar-wai's generation of grandmasters?" asked Huang Lei.
Cao Ping nodded, and Huang Lei said: "I went to the cinema to watch it, and the film was really good, but the box office was not very good, right?"
"It's almost over 300 million. Cao Ping said, Huang Lei shook his head slightly, and said: "Hey, it's a pity, but it's understandable, the box office of movies that want to win awards is generally not very high, and it is estimated that Director Wang is also rushing to win awards, haha!"
Huang Lei turned back to the classmates in the classroom and said: ""The Grandmaster" is also the movie I recommended you to watch earlier, and you want to write a film analysis, have you all watched it?"
"Look~!" the classmates responded, and Zhang Mingming said: "The picture is very good, but I can't understand it......"
"You didn't pay attention to it, tell me that you can't understand it, go down and learn from Cao Ping, but people directly follow Wong Kar-wai to start work, and ask Director Wang what kind of shooting ideas he has. After admonishing Zhang Mingming, Huang Lei turned around and said, "You just said that you are doing martial arts instruction work in the crew, so you are very good at kung fu?"
"I practice family boxing. Cao Ping explained.
"Oh......" Huang Lei nodded, he was not a person in the martial arts circle, and he didn't know anything about this, he stood up and said, "We're in class, so I won't let you show your hands." ”
“oh! No!” The classmates shouted, and a shoulder-length girl with short hair bared her little tiger teeth and shouted, "We want to see it!
"What to see! What to watch! Day by day! Why don't I show your hand to you and beat you up?" It can be seen that Huang Lei has a very good relationship with his classmates, and he is very joking. Looking back, Huang Lei said to Cao Ping: "You can find a place to sit! ”
Cao Ping looked around, the classmates were indeed scattered and sitting, the Huya girl stretched out half a hand from the table, beckoned to him, smiled slightly, Cao Ping walked over and sat next to the Huya girl. The Huya girl was very lively, stretched out her hand generously, and said, "Hello, Cao Ping, my name is Shang Yuxian." After shaking hands, Cao Ping smiled: "It's a pleasure to meet you." Putting his backpack in a drawer, Cao Ping raised his head and prepared to listen to the lecture.
Huang Lei walked up to the podium and said: "Then let's continue to talk about the structure of the character's inner personality, we usually use the following five ways to ......"
Shang Yuxian pushed the textbook towards Cao Ping and whispered, "You haven't received the textbook yet! I'll take you there after class." ”
Nodding to her in thanks, Cao Ping turned around and listened carefully to Huang Lei's lecture. Although he can imitate the top performance with his internal qi, if he is allowed to perform by himself, his acting skills will not be on the table, and the most basic things are still blank for him, and the basic theory taught in the classroom is undoubtedly the best filler, every knowledge point Huang Lei said, Cao Ping felt a feeling of being sudden, and compared with his actual performance experience in the crew, and then referred to Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi's performances and other acting masters, confirmed by the two, Cao Ping's rapid grasp of theoretical knowledge, efficient learning will undoubtedly bring people a great sense of achievement, and the knowledge points that you can understand as soon as you listen to them make Cao Ping feel that he is a genius, so he listens to the class and becomes more and more concentrated, like a sponge, desperately absorbing this hard-won nutrients.
Otherwise, it cost money!
Cao Ping finally knew why Shang Yuxian called him over, he was tall, and the petite Shang Yuxian's whole body could hide behind him. Listening to the sound of Suo Suo behind him, Cao Ping looked back and saw that Shang Yuxian took out two buns from his pocket and ate them.
Looking up at Teacher Huang Lei, Huang Lei casually skimmed over and shook his head slightly. Cao Ping couldn't help but smile, in fact, on the podium, the teacher could see clearly what was happening below, but he was too lazy to care.
Shang Yuxian thought that he had not been discovered, and when Huang Lei looked at this, he still puffed out his cheeks and pretended to be serious, and when Huang Lei turned his gaze, he quickly hid behind Cao Ping and chewed it, swallowed it, quickly stretched out his head to show his face, and then retracted it and took a bite, eating happily.
Helpless, Cao Ping had to sit up as straight as possible, not to take care of Shang Yuxian, but to take care of Teacher Huang Lei's face. Huang Lei talked about the stimulation of the character's inner feelings and the expression of external emotions, Cao Ping was listening energetically, and suddenly heard a "grunt" behind him, and looked back, but saw Shang Yuxian eating too quickly, choking, stretching his neck and kicking his legs to scratch the wall. Cao Ping hurriedly took out the water cup from his backpack, unscrewed the lid and handed it to her. Shang Yuxian took it, took a big sip, and then went down the bun.
Sighing, Cao Ping said, "You can eat it after class! The teacher has already discovered you." ”
"Impossible! I've been hiding it!" Shang Yuxian looked over, but saw Huang Lei glaring at her fiercely on the podium, startled, she quickly sat upright, put the rest of the buns into the desk, and didn't dare to eat any more.
The first lesson of acting is to liberate nature, actors can't pick roles, they must act like what, this is what a good actor is, what is played, that is Huang Bo, Feng Yuanzheng and other big names, what they play is themselves, that is Uncle Ge, Chen Daoming and other gods. They are qualified to pick roles, because they can play any role, and they will be more effective if they choose something that is more suitable for them. As for these raw melons and eggs, they don't have that capital.
After the theoretical part was finished, Huang Lei began to take the students to a practical performance class, that is, to designate roles for the students to play.
Huang Lei is very disgusting, and specially picks some contrasting roles for students to play, a sweet and lovely little girl, it is very shameful to let people play Japanese sumo wrestlers, but this is also a necessary stage for actors to officially embark on the road of acting. Actors are an extremely competitive industry, let you play a role, you twist and pinch and refuse to act, naturally there are a lot of people willing to act, the capable up, the mediocre down, the most realistic reason.
Li Mingming was called to play an old man on the bus, although he didn't look at the right thing to do, but this kid's professional level is really good, especially the design of a few similar to the can't grasp the ring, can only tremble and hold on to the back of the seat, as well as the subtle movements of crutches, making his performance more vivid and realistic than others'.
But in Cao Ping's opinion, there are quite a level of performance, and there are indeed many problems in Huang Lei's mouth, Huang Lei came over to give Li Mingming guidance, and said: "You are very attentive, and these small actions designed can indeed show the feeling of an old man, but the performance traces are still too heavy, and you pay too much attention to skills, a typical problem of partial expressionist methods." ”
While he was talking, the students were also listening carefully and taking notes, Huang Lei turned back to the students and asked, "Come, tell me, what is a good performance?"
"It can make the audience feel immersed. ”
"Touching!"
"A complete reflection of the character's character. ”
......
The students were gossiping about their opinions, and Huang Lei shook his head and said: "What are you talking about, what is the performance? Performance is to show the storyline or character characteristics through words, actions, and expressions in the performance." And what's the most important thing about that?"
Looking at the classmates below, Huang Lei said: "It's real." We all know that there is a saying, what you act is like the real thing, this is actually the highest level of acting, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and it is the greatest praise for an actor. ”
Let Li Mingming sit aside, Huang Lei also sat on the table, and preached to the students: "In fact, acting is a skill that people are born with, not only people, but all animals and even plants can act, the simplest point, many animals will pretend to be dead, you know? Also, when you were lazy, you didn't hand in your homework, and you forgot to bring it, don't you also pretend to be quite similar? This is acting." ”
Huang Lei made a gesture while speaking: "But when it comes to the official performance, why do you tie your hands and feet, and even use imitation to play a role? Because you are too influenced by film and television works." Film and television works are things that present a story through artistic processing, which requires actors to be able to grasp some overly exaggerated emotional expressions, but this is only a part of the performance, imitation is not performance, let you play a lame, you will never be more like a lame than a real lame, unless you are really lame, you will know what it feels like. Like before, before you officially shoot something, you have to put the actors in similar scenes to experience life, and what comes out in the end is absolutely different from what you can show by imagination. ”
"Smack!" Huang Lei stretched out his hand and patted it in front of Li Mingming's face, Li Mingming was startled, Huang Lei said: "Look, this is your natural reaction, it is the most real, now I will let you play it again, you try again." Huang Lei continued: "So, acting is not taught, it is brought out, everyone has their own way of acting, and what you have to do is to integrate yourself into the background of the character, and then show it in your own way, understand?"
The students nodded, and Huang Lei said, "Come, you repeat this passage just now." Li Mingming stood up and replayed the role just now.
Cao Ping breathed a sigh of relief, only felt excited, these are all real dry goods, if there is no teacher to teach, I don't know how long I have to grope to get these experiences, a class down, really benefited a lot, this tuition is not a loss!
