The sound of "Ka" came into lanli's ears, but he did not immediately leave the performance state, but dropped his eyes and fell into his own thoughts.
Lines, which is the most important and difficult basic skill of the school of performance. However, in the modern film industry, including the contemporary drama industry, the position of lines has declined again and again, and gradually been ignored by people.
The reason is not complicated. On the one hand, the expression methods of contemporary film and drama art are more and more diversified, especially the addition of visual effects, which makes the expression of dramatic conflict and ideological depth more and more possible, and the absolute dominant position of lines no longer exists; On the other hand, with the diversification and richness of entertainment means, the fast food culture has gradually increased, and the important position of poetry, philosophy, history and culture has also retreated to the second line. The hidden lines have gradually become plain and straightforward, and the profound lines with lingering charm and rich philosophy seem to have become obsolete.
Not to mention Hollywood, even the best British playwrights are getting more and more popular. Such a play as "detachment" not only uses a lot of monologues for reflection, deep thinking and philosophical thinking, but also ends with Allan Poe's poems. Such a play is really rare and valuable.
In fact, for Lan Li, the test of this line is also the limit of the limit. After all, the college education he received has been a contemporary improved version. Although they still perform a large number of ancient dramas, the lines of modern dramas can no longer be seen in such depth.
The reason why excellent lines are outstanding is that they are carefully thought out. Who said them? To whom? Under what circumstances? Why do you say that? What kind of personality said what kind of words? What kind of background brings about what kind of language habits? What's the meaning of the lines? Why did the characters choose to say this on such an occasion?
The simple conclusion is that it is in line with the setting of the role and the context of the story.
Why is Poe's poem chosen in the last line of "detached" script just to satirize the desolation of the times and the desolation of society? If emotion only stops here, what reflection does Meredith's suicide bring? So what's the end of Henry and Sammy? So what does Sarah and the school waste mean? Obviously, the script is not only so, but also in the decadence and vicissitudes, in the endless sea of suffering, looking for a glimmer of hope.
Such simple but abstruse lines, such complex but delicate emotions, put forward a severe test to Lan Li.
In fact, the basic skill of lines lies in practice. Starting from the rhythm, sentence segmentation, pronunciation, accent, intonation, epilogue and other details, it gives the sentences fresh vitality and presents the deep meaning behind the words; But the really difficult part is to connect the lines with the characters, the plot and the story to produce resonance. The abundant emotion fills every gap and corner of the words and sentences, and then makes the role become three-dimensional.
Just now, before the play's lines were officially put into the performance, Lan Li repeatedly pondered at least 150 times, chewing the emotion carefully“ "The fall of the house of Usher" is well-known in Europe. Its artistry has been recognized by countless people, reflecting the current situation of the whole society at that time. However, there are 1000 Hamlets in a thousand people. The same verse is used in different occasions and different characters, and its meaning is naturally different.
Lanli figured out seven or eight different plans, and finally chose the one just now. When he finally put into the performance, lanli completely entered the state, his head showed ethereal, his soul could feel the slight resonance with Henry, and the starting, transition and distinct levels of the performance were accurately controlled. The feeling of being handy and skillful was really wonderful.
Based on the methodology, the role is conceived; Performance school as the way to play the role. This is different from the performance of any previous work. Lanli knows that this can only be applied to "detachment". Thanks to the academic style of the script, this can be done. Changing a work will not work. Nevertheless, this attempt once again let lenley see a potential way to integrate the two ways of performance.
However, it is precisely because the performance is so devoted, so focused and so smooth that lanli has become more aware of his own shortcomings: experience.
From the perspective of "detached" graduation examination, he really reached the standard of qualification; However, in the process of preparation, he spent countless energy and time to bring the meaning of "diligence can make up for clumsiness" into full play. Moreover, his on-the-spot response ability, role understanding ability and basic skills playing ability are not satisfactory.
Whether it's the 71 times shooting of Gongche opera or the one time shooting of shaqing opera, it can be seen from behind that he has reached the standard in basic skills, but how to integrate basic skills into his performance, he is still only half a professional actor, and there is still a long way to go before he can become a real professional actor.
Of course, there is no shortcut for Expressionists. They have to constantly polish and temper themselves in the performance. Experience accumulates in the actual combat time after time, and finally integrates into the body and muscles, which becomes a kind of performance inertia. Even every gesture and smile is a play.
This is also the reason why the British Academy actors have to go back to the stage in the west end every so often. It's like a car. After too long, the engine will rust.
Langley can't help but think of Paul's joking words: Broadway or the west end.
If he finds an opportunity in the future, he must return to that stage. It's better for him to play in a classical drama, which is the traditional theme of Shakespeare, ancient Greek tragedy and Italian comedy, because this kind of drama has almost strict standards for the test of basic skills, especially the understanding of lines. This is the essence of modern drama.
For the first time, Langley realized his youth. He is not only young in terms of age. Although he is over 50 years old in terms of two generations, his view of the world is naturally different; It's the youth precipitated by time. Whether in the last life or in this life, lanli's social experience is too little, and his life experience of ups and downs is insufficient.
Even in this life, he began to lay the foundation of culture from an early age, and received the professional education of the Royal College of Arts in London. Moreover, the ups and downs of his two lives also made him have different views on life, the world and society. These are all precipitated in the performance, which is also the reason for the success of several other works before "detachment".
But "detachment" made Langley realize that he only studied in College for two years and polished in the west end and Broadway for less than six months. In short, his time on stage is still too little. He is under 22 years old now. He has made full use of every inch of his life, but he is still too young after all. Like those old actors of academic school, which one is not immersed in the stage for more than ten years or decades.
Expressionists' acting skills are so simple. The efforts off stage can be reflected on stage. It's hard to break through the world just by virtue of talent.
As Thomas Edison said, genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. It is the one percent inspiration that lays the foundation. Without this little inspiration, rotten wood can not be carved into treasure; But with this little bit of inspiration, 99% of the sweat is the guarantee of success. There are countless talents who died young after wasting their talents in the long history.
For the performance School of the Academy, we should constantly Polish ourselves, refine ourselves and accumulate ourselves. Sweat gradually becomes a part of the body under the precipitation of time, and finally complete the transformation. It's a process. It's a process of steelmaking. It's hard, torturous and difficult. But without experience, it will never be able to complete the qualitative change.
Not long ago, a film called "anti-cancer me" gave Lan Li a better understanding of the French and experiential acting skills of the opposite party; Now, a "transcendence" has made Lan Li review his accomplishments in expressionism.
Since entering Hollywood, he has starred in a TV series and five movies in about two years. He thinks that his acting skills have become small, the praise of the media is endless, and he has even won the nomination and recognition of the Oscar. But now it seems that the long road of exploring acting skills is only just the beginning.
This time, Langley seriously began to think that he should choose a classic replay of Broadway or the west end and polish it down to earth.
Thinking about it, the smile on the corner of the mouth can't help rising. He likes the challenge and the process. Maybe George and Elizabeth are right. He is not a genius; But he firmly believes that he has a little talent, even if it is not 1% inspiration, 0.5% is always there, and he will unswervingly go on this road. The scenery along the way is so beautiful, how can he be willing to miss it?
Looking up, Langley looked over at Tony and yelled, "director, how's the play? Do you want me to go over and watch the replay, and we'll discuss it again? "
A cry broke the silence of the crew, and everyone turned to look at Tony.
Tony shivered and regained himself. Then he raised his right hand and shook it, "no!" This scene is just two sets of shots. There's no need for close-up. It's all finished just now, which means "perfect! Everything is perfect! I can officially announce it now, kill the green! "
Originally, he thought that everyone would cheer after he finished shouting, but Tony looked around and found that everyone was lost and strangled. He had to jump impatiently, "why, are you going to do it again? More torture? "
As soon as the words came out, everyone finally came back to their senses and cheered, "Yo ho! Kill the green
