Chapter 1087

For any beginner who studies acting, the first class is similar. Let go of yourself; If necessary, this is the core idea of the first month's basic courses.

Because acting is a shame. They need to stand in front of strangers and immerse themselves in their own world, with great joy, great sorrow and great ups and downs.

May play a character completely opposite to his personality, rolling all over the street; As like as two peas, you may also have a similar role to yourself. It may also be awkward to present the ancient situation of several centuries ago, and the content and way of expression are embarrassing.

Imagine standing on the stage in the west end of London, stripping all masks and skins to present the life of a madman or a poet. This is not a difficult thing, because the stage creates enough environment and space to make everything reasonable.

But what about the same performance in front of the camera? In front of a group of strangers? What's more, on the street where people come and go? In the real world, there is a sense of drama which is divorced from reality. It is really daunting to find the awkward and strange feeling that is out of place.

Even for those who have been on the stage for many years, they need psychological adjustment; What's more, it's just a novice.

Therefore, the first lesson of acting is to let the novices put down their guard, shackles and masks, really relax themselves, put aside their shame and embarrassment, completely ignore the eyes of others, and immerse themselves in their own world. At the moment of entering the performance world, they should learn to get out of reality, enter the performance and enter the role.

For normal people, it may be derogatory to let go of oneself; But for actors, it is commendatory. So, people always say that in fact, actors are insane and also insane. In a way, that's right, because they need to let themselves go, they need to let go of their reason.

This is the first lesson to get started.

I often heard that in the first performance class, novices are often required to imitate all kinds of animals. The easier ones are lions and dogs, and the more difficult ones are red crowned cranes and cicadas.

In the eyes of many people, this is a farce, not only humiliating, but also mentally retarded.

An adult is lying on the ground, simulating the movements and calls of animals, like a child of four or five years old. This is not any technical content, many people can not get rid of the embarrassing mood, even angry, think that such a performance class is completely deceptive.

But in fact, even in top performing schools, it's compulsory.

First, the first step of performance is imitation. Every performer starts from imitation and then gradually forms his own style; Second, the original intention of imitating animals is to put down one's airs and masks, put down one's reserve and shame, and find one's own natural state.

Every actor is like this.

The key is to imitate, but also to get rid of their reserve and bondage, and even need to get rid of their sense of shame. Those actors who can't let go of their performances, those who bear the burden of idols, can't become a real actor after all, they can only become a superficial human panel.

Lanli still clearly remembers that after the first week of performance class, the students were divided into different groups to practice under the guidance of the teacher: they would come to a different public place to extract different performance topics, and then they had to perform them on site.

The first student, the title of the performance is "rattlesnake in the mire".

It doesn't matter whether the topic is realistic or not; It is important that the performer complete the project. When the teacher read out the content of the topic, all the students, including Lan Li, looked at each other and began to conceive in their own mind how to present it if they performed by themselves. There is no right answer, only one that suits you.

Every topic is a bomb of shame, no one can be an exception. The first classmate is just the beginning.

At that time, the title drawn by Lan Li was "ostrich in the snow".

Just reading the title makes people gape and have no clue, but it is the first part of the introduction to performance.

This is not the most exaggerated topic. After a month's performance class, they had a second field practice. Langley's topic is "when Harry meets Sally, Meg Ryan's restaurant scene". According to the teacher's expression at that time, "this is a relatively simple topic, but the man extracts it, which means that Langley, You've won the jackpot. "

One of the most classic scenes of "when Harry meets Sally" is that Meg Ryan is sitting in a restaurant, pretending to have an orgasm. Later, the old lady sitting next to him sees it and says the most classic line, "I'll have one of what she just ordered."

It's not easy for women to perform in public on such occasions; For men, this is even more difficult.

From panic to calm thinking, and then to vivid imitation, this is a very important step; If the same topic is given to Langley again, he is sure that he can also interpret his own style, inject his own understanding, and give the play different colors, rather than simply imitating Meg Ryan.

In lanli's view, it was undoubtedly difficult, even difficult; But it was also the best time.

Because everything is brand new, everything is interesting, full of curiosity and exploration, carefully but lightly grinding the stone across the river, with fear and expectation of the contradictory mood, tirelessly, can't wait to put into the world of performance. Even if your performance is terrible, it's special.

This is the entry point and the only way for every actor.

Later, Lan Li gradually grew up, the novice became an old hand, the old hand became a professional actor, and step by step came to today, on the road of acting exploration further and further. The performance is more hierarchical and deeper, and those basic skills have been quietly integrated into it, regardless of each other.

Today is special.

In the scene just tested, the content of the story is originally stress response, showing the conditioned reflex of ordinary people in a crisis situation. Compared with performance control, out of control is a more satisfactory way of performance; In addition, the existence of iris manipulator magnifies this point. Under the fast-moving lens, the actor's body reaction of staying in place becomes more and more prominent.

All of these are back to the beginning stage of performance. With the exaggeration of body language, it simply and directly presents the conditioned reflex of human beings. For example, wrestling; For example, rolling.

For other films, this way of performance is too rough and crude; But for gravity, it is the most appropriate performance, which can best show Alfonso Caron's performance for the entire visual effects planning.

In a trance, Lan Li seems to be back to the time when he just started to learn to perform. He imitates all kinds of animals and tears away the shame and embarrassment of wrapping himself in the shell bit by bit. He gives up face and reserve, and also gives up the shelf and frame. He really lets go of his hands and feet and gets involved in the role.

After getting used to the way of fine performance under control, he suddenly changed to such a simple, crude and straightforward way of getting started. On the contrary, Lan Li was a little unaccustomed. He always wanted to control, but actually needed to get rid of it; He always thinks about the role, but in fact he needs to get rid of it.

As a result, the performance appears funny and embarrassing. Obviously, Langley needs to adapt to the different rhythm of the performance.

In retrospect, Lan Li couldn't help laughing.

Since the "Pacific War", he has continued to advance on the road of acting skills, and gradually built up confidence in the wave of praise; I didn't expect that today, because of such an entry-level play, it leads to failure. It's like a newcomer who can't perform at all, boastful and confused.

The kind of complete self release, long lost to return to the starting point of career and dream, once again feel the pure heart of those years.

Everyone always thinks that he can go back to his original heart, find the persistence and enthusiasm when he started his dream, and find the novelty and joy when he started his life; But this is never an easy thing, because everyone is growing, everyone is changing, every bit of the past is quietly casting a new self.

In a trance, people have forgotten their original intention. Even if they want to go back, they can never go back“ I can't go back. "This is the most regretful and saddest sentence in the world. My original intention has disappeared in the process of growth.

Fortunately for him, "gravity" reawakened Langley's enthusiasm for performance; But just now this play has awakened Lan Li's performance original intention.

Maybe that's what's special about being an actor, because they always wear different masks, one of which comes from the beginning. Almost everyone is trying to forget their green years and burn those unforgettable past, but lanli is eager to find the past again and recognize the green and vigorous self again.

That's a part of myself.

Undoubtedly, this is really an interesting thing. Involuntarily, Lan Li burst out laughing in this way, sincerely.

Looking at the relaxed and cheerful lanli, Rooney felt the same way. Her chest was full of excitement and excitement, and then she said, "Emmanuel, can I have a try? Performing under the high-speed iris manipulator

The eager eyes were shining. Although there was no direct communication, Rooney could detect the changes in lanli's performance. In a faint sense, she also felt the mystery. She wanted to go to battle in person immediately.

"I haven't finished the test yet. I want to do it again." Lan Li restrained his smile and said actively.

So the two actors began to argue like children.
