Chapter 453

Lanli is an orthodox academic. He has received systematic performance education, and his understanding of methodology is very limited, just theoretical knowledge on paper; And even if it is a theory, it has not really been read in depth, which can be said to be very simple.

Before that, Langley always believed that the core of Methodist performance was experience, which was to really put himself into the role, and then put him in a similar situation to interpret the emotion of the role with his own understanding and interpretation. In short, it is the survival of the madman, who really blurs the boundaries between himself and his role.

This way of performance is undoubtedly the most severe. For example, if "buried alive" does not really experience the situation of being buried alive, then the resonance in the performance process will be distorted, which will lead to the performance deviating from the original track and even unsustainable.

It's no exaggeration to say that it's very strict with the actors' concentration, devotion, research and talent, and no one can try it. When lanli was lying in the coffin, if he didn't believe that he was really buried alive, if his head couldn't hypnotize him, if he didn't have a deep understanding of the role and the script, if his understanding was biased, then the result of personal experience still couldn't be brought into the role.

In short, the actor needs to focus on the situation and believe that he is the character. If the lack of this ability and talent, then unless someone really put the actor buried alive in the desert, then he can not follow this way of performance dedication.

From "Pacific War" to "buried alive", lanli completely followed this way of performance, and even "anti-cancer me" was the same.

He really brought his emotions and feelings into the despair of cancer, and even produced a real reflection of the side effects of chemotherapy. But the play just now gives more inspiration to Lan Li.

He really sympathizes with Adam - or will's experience, but his emotion is not cancer, but paralysis. It was the same with that scene on the third day after the boot, and it is the same with this scene today. The anger, despair, sadness, bewilderment and loss, which are perplexed by illness and whose vitality is passing by, are completely displayed through performance.

But on the other hand, high paralysis is not cancer.

Lanli has always known that high paralysis is a straight line. At the moment of paralysis, the turning point is a cliff like fall, but after that, it is a smooth straight line; However, cancer is a downward curve, gradually down slide, and finally reached the end.

Therefore, there are two different ways to perform: the "buried alive" way and the "anticancer me" way. Lanli always thought that he was using the method school, but in fact, "buried alive" was the experience school, and "anti-cancer me" was the method school.

It may be more complicated to explain from a purely theoretical point of view. It can be understood that the so-called experiential performance is that actors truly and profoundly visualize the scene of the script, truly integrate into the role, completely break the four dimensional barrier, bring the illusion into reality, and do not allow the deviation of thinking.

The so-called Methodist performance is that actors separate their emotions, resonate with the characters, and then deduce the script and the characters in their own way. Half of the results are the actors themselves, and half are the characters themselves. In this process, there can be understanding bias.

For example, when shooting "buried alive", the experiential school sincerely believed that they were buried alive; And the Methodists promote the whole performance with fear, horror and fear.

More intuitively, when shooting "Brokeback Mountain", the experiential school really believed that they fell in love with the same sex, and it was still in the background of the 1960s that they could not extricate themselves; While the Methodists allow the opposite party to be imagined as the opposite sex, just to deduce a taboo love.

In this way, Langley's conjecture has been confirmed.

When he was buried alive, he brought in a real experiential performance. He was personally on the scene and wanted to split. He really blurred the boundary between himself and Paul, and also blurred the boundary between reality and drama; In the "anti-cancer me", a Methodist performance is brought in. He knows that he is Lan Li, and he also knows that he is performing Adam. He interprets Adam's mood with Chu Jiashu's mood.

In fact, these contents were only seen in books before, not even on paper. They were just glancing at them casually, and they almost forgot all the theoretical knowledge. Because the scope of performance is too narrow, whether it's methodological or experiential. The energy and energy of an actor often withers quickly after playing a role.

Not to mention Heath Ledger, an actor who died young, even Daniel Day Lewis, a master of methodological acting, the reason why his output is so small is that he needs a lot of research and investment before each role is performed; Second, after the performance, the whole soul seems to be hollowed out. He must slowly settle down and wait for recovery.

For the traditional authentic college, an actor can only play one role in a period of time, which is undoubtedly dereliction of duty. For the performance school, one person has a thousand faces, which is the ultimate meaning of the actor. Even on the same stage, one person playing multiple roles can also show the image and personality of the role, which is the real master.

To a large extent, experientialism and Methodism come down in one continuous line. Experientialism originated from the former Soviet Union. This kind of performance style and expressionism are considered to be the original concept of performance. Then, it was inherited and developed by the United States and formed a branch, which is methodology.

Because for Hollywood, they don't have so much time to fit every role, image and actor. In the rapid development of the film industry, they must form an assembly line. Therefore, it is the most appropriate way to ask for less strict methodology - for example, white as black, heterosexual as gay, American as British.

In 2016, a film tentatively named "everything" was put into preparation. The producer was Mark rufaro, focusing on a cross gender female role. Mark invited Matt bomer to play the role, which caused a lot of controversy.

Because, although Matt has come out in public, he is a real man. In Hollywood, there are more than 2000 transgender actors, but it is difficult for them to find jobs. Male roles are played by men, while female roles are dominated by women. Homosexual roles have been robbed by heterosexuals, and now even transgender roles can't be played by them.

This is Hollywood. There is even such a fixed concept in the industry that if homosexuals play homosexuals, it is not convincing, because it is a true performance; But when heterosexuals act as homosexuals, they will be applauded that he or she can make a breakthrough. But the problem is that if homosexuality plays heterosexuality, major film companies are reluctant to think it will affect the box office market.

There is no reason why Methodist acting can flourish in Hollywood; At the same time, experiential acting, like expressionist acting, has gradually become marginalized in Hollywood, and even experiential acting has almost been eliminated.

Before today, lanli didn't have a clear sense of the difference between the Methodist and the experiential. After all, the difference between the two ways of performance is too subtle. Who would have thought that a comedy movie would really bring lanli to a higher level?

"Anti cancer me", to meet this work, is really fate.

So, is the experiential school better or the methodological school better?

To be honest, in today's performance of "anti-cancer me", lanli was really free and easy to play, and the whole idea was very clear. If the feeling of nature was God's help, he could perform easily; What's more, the feeling that everything is controlled in the palm of the hand makes the performance a pleasure - although his stomach is still not very comfortable, and his bald head is shivering all the time, the effect is satisfactory.

But what about "buried alive"?

The process of performing "buried alive" is a kind of torment, because lanli really thought he was buried alive. That kind of real feeling made his heart almost stop beating, so that the performance became a kind of instinct, not to mention control. Even his lines were gushing out like a volcanic eruption, and the feeling of gushing out was even frightening.

Especially the nightmare of that time completely confused the difference between reality and illusion. Fortunately, lenley shot "buried alive". If he shot "American neurosis" or "Requiem of dreams", the consequences would be unimaginable.

It can be understood in such a simple and crude way that methodology is more widely used. Even if there is no real killing experience, serial killers can be tested, but the delicacy and fidelity of the performance will be slightly inferior. After all, it is not the real experience of the actors. The misunderstanding of the actors is likely to lead to the performance completely divorced from the script.

The application scope of experiential school is very narrow. If you want to play a serial killer, you may really have to feel the reality full of blood. Even if it's not killing, at least you need to use artificial plasma to feel the viscosity and temperature of blood. Moreover, the performance is more difficult. In the process of thinking and positioning, once the reality is not enough, the performance can't be completed. But the advantage is to be possessed!

Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Lanli has really experienced them. Although he can taste the detailed differences now, he is just getting started, not to mention good at it. He can't even distinguish the differences between the two methods in the process of performance.

There is no doubt that on the road of performance, he needs to slow down, study carefully and move forward step by step.

Putting aside the difference between the Methodist and the experiential for a moment, Langley carefully recalled every detail of the performance just now. The slow feeling of sinking and drowning gradually penetrated into his heart.

He likes to delve into the process of acting like this.
