Chapter 759

One dances, one sings, one lives. In the world of unrequited love and secret love, everything is just one person's story; It's stupid, it's helpless, it's lonely, it's painful... All these things are well known, but still can't control the surging emotions in my heart, bitter and crazy, confused and happy, even just watching each other, even just waiting beside, still can't control to begin to sink.

I love him, I love her.

It's like a magic mantra, forcing me to go crazy step by step, and I don't hesitate to fly moths into the fire. There is no bitterness, just bitterness; There is no anger, just blankness; No tears, just lost; No earthshaking, just singing alone; There are no ups and downs, just surging... But the feelings of unrequited love and secret love are so delicate and abundant, but they are so moving and beautiful.

There is no fancy action, no exaggeration way, even the expression and eyes are not too much modification, stripped off the burden of all the performance, return to nature, clean, pure, simple, sincere, direct part of the singing, all the weight is pinned on the graceful and moving melody, but the explosion of amazing performance power——

A look, a smile, a drooping eyes, a gaze, a footstep, a trembling, a standing up... Every action is simplified to the extreme, but just hit on each node, perfectly combining the lyrics and melody, so accurate, so profound, so ingenious, The delicate and real emotion hit the hearts of the audience again and again. Before the brain reacted, the shock had already surged, almost suffocating.

Stage, in front of that small open space is a stage, Lan Li stands on this stage, blooming light!

Nathan opened his mouth wide and looked at Lan Li in amazement. Tears had already blurred his vision, and the whole world was in a hazy state; However, he was still reluctant to move his eyes. He even dared not blink. His moving emotions ran rampant in his chest. He completely abandoned his armor and was defeated. He stood in the same place and couldn't move.

Even during the filming of "anti-cancer me", Nathan never felt such direct, fierce and real emotions. His brain completely gave up, just like a boat, drifting with the current in the storm, completely drowning it.

Not only Nathan, but Roy's eyes were wide open, and his eyes were shining with admiration. Deep in his heart, one after another, he could not help clapping. The impulse was so violent that he almost lost control. Now Roy finally understands why theater audiences are always keen on clapping, because it's impossible to let go of the shock. Clapping is the only way.

Langley is an excellent actor, and Roy agrees with him; However, every time he watched the performance of Langley, Roy's exclamation deepened.

Tonight, Roy really understood what "college background" meant, "crazy love", "detached" and "buried alive". None of these works can really capture the essence of lanli's performance - at least the essence of Expressionism. Only when he really stands on the stage can his free flowing, flowing, full and delicate performance be brought into full play, There is no modification, no adjustment, but it's like a storm.

"So, how does it feel?" At the end of the performance, Langley made two small jumps, relaxed his muscles, looked at Nathan and Roy with a smile, and cast an inquiring look.

Roy and Nathan were both stunned: one second, they were still in the mood of being alone, and the next second, Langley was back to normal? This... This is too easy, isn't it? There is a big difference between the two characters, but Lan Li has so lightly completed the switch? It's incredible.

Without a reply, Lan Li shook his hands and chuckled. "It seems that he hasn't polished his basic skills for a long time, and the control of some details is not very good. Let's watch the replay! " Lan Li moved his shoulders, criticizing the faults of his performance. "Fortunately, this is not a real stage. We can still watch the playback and make adjustments at any time. If you stand on the stage, it's an accident. " Lanli is still in the mood to joke. Nathan's chin can't be pushed back.

This is the real expressionism performance, even if it is "detached", it is a performance that completely returns to the stage. Although there is a camera in front of us, Langley pays attention to the performance of Nathan and Roy.

When performing on the stage, the actor's brain must be absolutely awake, and clearly know what he is doing and where he is in the whole play; Then, according to the rehearsal content, it accurately fits each emotion and accurately shows each node.

Take the song "alone" just now as an example, when to walk, when to face the audience, when to turn back to the audience; When bitter, when sad, when painful; When to stop, when to breathe, when to burst; More importantly, every node must fit in with the melody and lyrics, even if it is only staggered for half a second, then the actor must make adjustments.

In the whole performance process, the actor's personal emotion and the character's emotional struggle are separated. From an objective and calm perspective, precise and meticulous control is carried out to complete the performance task.

Among the methods of acting, eponine's mood may break through completely, even fall apart and can't be recovered; Or bitterness, bewilderment, the gnawing pain can be expressed in countless ways, and emotions may evolve into countless possibilities.

But on the stage of drama, this is not allowed.

First of all, the stage is very broad and the distance is too far. The audience can't catch the mixed and delicate emotions, which will lead to the slow rhythm of the performance.

Secondly, the actors are too immersed in their emotions to get back. What about the next act? In film shooting, actors can leave the camera, take a deep breath, relax and regain their state, but on the stage, there is no time or space.

Thirdly, the actor's mood must be consistent with the lines, melody, lyrics and the rhythm of the whole play. Outburst is allowed, but it must also be controlled within a reasonable range. Because the drama is a whole, the loss of control of an actor may affect the live Symphony Orchestra, the actors, the transportation of stage props, and the performance of the actors in the next act.

This is also the core meaning of Expressionists' acting skills. Apart from the resonance of actors to the role, they just understand emotions, express emotions, present stories, and achieve shocking effects through their own skillful and profound acting skills, combined with the plot and stage. Control, throughout the whole performance, to ensure that the actors clearly know what they are doing and what they are going to do.

It is precisely because of pulling away the deep fetters between the actors and the characters that lanli quickly got rid of the influence of the characters and returned to normal after the performance.

Of course, that doesn't mean that actors don't need to interpret characters. The role interpretation of expressionism acting and other preparatory work are all completed before the stage. After rehearsals over and over again, they are deeply imprinted in the body and brain.

It is always said that the key point of expressionism is one person with thousands of faces. An actor can accurately and vividly show a thousand roles, but the actor is still not deeply involved in them; However, the core of Methodist acting skills is that it cares about one person and one role, so it is unable to extricate itself from a role, and even goes crazy.

Tonight, Langley vividly illustrates this point.

In the performance just now, Langley has no character attribute. It can be the "solitary shadow" of eponine, Marius, or Jean Valjean. The bitterness and loneliness of single love is suitable for everyone. This is a universal way of performance.

However, in the drama performance, the characters also have the context and unique attributes, but Lan Li's memory of the detailed plot of "miserable world" is a little blurred.

Before eponine sang this song, what kind of interaction she had with Marius, what kind of inner hurt and regret she had brought; And after singing this song, did she choose to sacrifice herself to fulfill Marius' revolutionary career, or did she choose to hide the news of Cosette's departure and be selfish in love for a while. Lanli can't remember these details. After all, it was four years ago that he last watched "les miserables".

In fact, the differences in the context of these stories will inevitably lead to differences in roles and performances. For example, the last lyric, "I love her and him, but it's just wishful thinking", which determines whether it's self sacrifice and sudden optimism, or whether it's reckless and selfish. The emotional interpretation is bound to be different.

Langley is not sure whether he should add or subtract in today's audition video.

The meaning of addition is to make the role of eponine more prominent and sing from the perspective of eponine, so the song will be more sad and fragile, not only because eponine is a woman, but also because of the influence of her childhood life experience.

Subtraction means to weaken the attribute of eponine, sing from the perspective of Jean Valjean or Marius, and deduce this "solitary" song into a unique adapted version, proving that he can play different roles. But this will weaken the appeal of the song itself.

So, as Langley just said, fortunately, today he can find the most appropriate rhythm by watching the playback and performing repeatedly.

After walking forward, Langley takes the camera off the tripod and begins to play back. Nathan and Roy come together to watch the performance again.

"Is this my illusion? Why do I feel different when I watch it on the screen? I still like the more direct performance Nathan's question, however, expresses Roy's heart, and at the same time points out the difference between lanli's performance.

"The difference between stage and film." Lan Li said simply, and then shook his head slightly. He was not satisfied with his performance just now, "do it again."
