Chapter 1197

   "Make up for morning work?" Wang Jiayi asked, "Senior, are you asking us to do the morning work training that we usually do in school now?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "but it's not mandatory. I said that I don't care if you do morning work, letting you do morning work is just a way to wake you up. If you feel that you are already awake, then Don’t do it!"

   "I do!" Wang Jiayi said immediately, "I have never had morning work after breakfast! I want to try!"

  There are still cameras filming in the rehearsal room. How could they miss such good material content?

   "Well, let's do it too!" The other two newcomers also said.

   "Senior!" Zhou Feng and a boy named Ding Yuyang raised their hands at the same time.

  The two looked at each other, and the boy named Ding Yuyang said, "Senior, I'm not a student in the acting department, I don't know what to do in morning work!"

   "I learned to dance, and the content of morning exercise is different from the performance department, I don't know!" Zhou Feng followed.

   "You have been here for so long, haven't the teachers taught you morning exercises?" Xiao Yao said a little surprised.

  The teachers in this show are all professional teachers. Among them, there are many teachers from the Performance Department of China Film and Television Academy, and the teachers who lead the team are in-service teachers from the Chinese Opera Performance Department.

   "The teachers did not ask us to do morning exercises, nor did they teach us!" Zhou Feng shook his head.

   "Senior, can you please teach us both?" Ding Yuyang said to Xiao Yao.

   "I said it doesn't matter!" Xiao Yao shook his head and looked at Zhang Yunlan and said, "Yunlan, I see that you did a good job doing morning exercises in the morning. Go and teach them both!"

  Zhang Yunlan looked at Xiao Yao, then turned to look at the two boys, nodded and said, "Okay!"

   "Thanks, Yunlan!" the two boys said to Zhang Yunlan.

   "Give you half an hour, let's start by yourself!" Xiao Yao waved his hand, found a chair and sat down.

   "Hey, ha! Hey, ha! Yeah! Yeah! Hey! Hey!"

  After Xiao Yao sat down, several people scattered and stood apart. The rehearsal room quickly rang out and practiced four-tone rhyme.

  Morning Gong in the Performance Department has two parts: voice training and body training. Xiao Yao didn't say a word during the whole process, seemingly indifferent, but in fact, he was secretly paying attention to everyone's performance.

  Zhang Yunlan has already done morning exercises in the morning, and now mainly teaches two non-disciplinary students. Regardless of Zhang Yunlan's words, the one who impressed Xiao Yao the most during the sound training stage among the five newcomers was a boy named Bai Zicheng. After opening the voice and four-tone rhyme, the others basically only practiced tongue twisters. Only after he finished the tongue twisters, he took out his mobile phone and read a poem recitation.

  Sound training is followed by body training. At this stage, the person who impressed Xiao Yao the most was Zhou Feng, who was born in dancing. It's all about cheating and lowering the waist. Not to mention that other boys can't do it, but girls are not as easy as him.

   "Okay, stop!" When the time came, Xiao Yao stopped the six people.

   "Hmm!" All six stopped.

   "Open your voice and do stretching, the whole person is more energetic!" Wang Jiayi tore up the hair that was a little messy because of the body training, and re-tied a ponytail, and smiled relaxedly.

  "Take a five-minute break, and then start rehearsing." Xiao Yao announced without answering.

  Five minutes later, the crew began to rehearse.

  Today’s rehearsal, Xiao Yao began to pay close attention to the details of the performance, so the number of calls to stop was obviously much more than last night.

  Although the six characters in this script have little difference in the scenes, and they all have some highlights, there are still differences in the difficulty of the role performance.

Zhang Yunlan's "Zhao Meilan" and Lin Kaijie's "Lin Jianjun" are both middle-aged and the parents of the other three roles. They are the most different from the actual age of the actors, making them the two most difficult roles in the entire play. Roles. Followed by Bai Zicheng's "Haipi" and Wang Jiayi's "Lin Qiuyang". One is a youth and the other is a middle school student. The age gap is not very big, but there are dramas that require strong emotions, and the difficulty is not small.

  Finally, "Zhou Chenxi" by Zhou Feng and "Zhou Jianyu" by Ding Yuyang. A "senior six" and a college student are both at the age of a college student. They have the smallest age gap with the actors, and they do not show intense emotions. They are the two least difficult of the six roles.

  I don’t know if it was due to non-major backgrounds. The two characters with the least difficulty in this play were stopped by Xiao Yao the most times during the morning rehearsal.

   "Stop!" Xiao Yao stopped Zhou Feng's performance again, and walked over to say, "Zhou Feng, your expressions and lines are rigid, you can't see or hear any emotions at all!"

   "Sorry, director..." Zhou Feng lowered his head and said.

"Don't apologize, listen to me," Xiao Yao waved his hand. "You learn to dance, and you have no physical expressiveness. When dancing, your stage expressiveness is very good, even without lines, your expression is very good. You can see your dancing skills and stage experience. Dance is also a kind of performance. When you dance, I feel that you are completely involved in the role, but when you are acting, you don’t!"

   "I did everything on the script," Zhou Feng said, "I don't know how to invest!"

   "The teacher taught it, no, do you know what it means to excavate a prescribed situation?" Xiao Yao asked.

   "I don't know!" Zhou Feng shook his head.

   "Okay, then I'll ask you," Xiao Yao said, "Zhou Chenxi helped Lin Qiuyang make a trophy and returned her insufficient money. Did she not want to collect the money at all or give it back when she really got rich?"

   "This~" Zhou Feng hesitated, "Should you not want to collect the money?"

"Then I will ask you again," Xiao Yao said again, "Zhou Chenxi didn't want Lin Qiuyang's money at all, just because they are neighbors, or because Zhou Chenxi likes her? Zhou Chenxi likes her, it's the kind of elder brother likes her sister. , Or the kind of like between men and women? If it is between men and women, is it unrequited love or mutual love? If it is unrequited love, is it clear or secret? Has Zhou Chenxi talked to Lin Qiuyang? Does Lin Qiuyang know? Lin Qiuyang What kind of feelings do you have for Zhou Chenxi? The brother next door? My buddy? My favorite boy? Did Zhou Chenxi feel Lin Qiuyang's feelings for him?"

   "Huh?" Zhou Feng was stunned by Xiao Yao's series of questions, and said somewhat ignorantly, "I don't know, it doesn't seem to be written in the script, right?"

"It is not written in the script, then you haven't thought about it?" Xiao Yao said, "The so-called prescribed situation is the plot of the script. It contains two aspects, one is external, such as the events described in the script and the occurrence of events. The time, place, environment, etc. One is internal, which refers to the inner mental and psychological state of the characters in the script, such as the characters’ pursuits, goals, desires, thoughts, emotions, motivations, and attitudes towards things."

"The so-called excavation of the prescribed situation is to infinitely enlarge the character situation provided by the script." Xiao Yao continued, "Theoretically, if the situation of a fictional character can be infinitely enlarged and then enlarged, it can be enlarged to a reality. If the entire life and all life experiences of the people of the people completely overlap, in the artistic imagination, a new real "person" will appear. In this way, you will not play a fictional character, but play a created by yourself. The one who came out and became one with yourself."

   "Then what should I do specifically?" Zhou Feng asked.

"Write a biography of the character." Xiao Yao said, "You don't know how to act now, because the role of Zhou Chenxi is still too vague for you and not specific enough. If you have the answers to those I asked you just now, Is it easier for you to turn yourself into Zhou Chenxi? You only know that this girl is your neighbor and you have to help her. Other details, you know too little, and you are not sure about anything. If you are concerned about all aspects of this role Just like you know yourself, you can naturally give the most true reaction. If you are not Lin Qiuyang, and you are not Zhou Chenxi, but a girl you like or your sister is really standing, let You go help him make a trophy, you will never behave like this?"

   "It seems to be!" Zhou Feng nodded, and shook his head quickly, "I said you are right, I should know how to do it, it won't be the case."

   "But," Zhou Feng said again, "From the perspective of the script alone, I can't find the answers to these questions. Director, can you tell me specifically, what is the relationship between the two of them?"

"No!" Xiao Yao shook his head, "If you look at the script alone, you can't find the answer, and I can't find it, because the script is really not written in that detail. For the questions just now, I have an answer , But those answers are the answers I gave as an actor, not as a screenwriter or a director. When I spoke to Wang Jiayi yesterday, I acted in accordance with my understanding and the stipulated context I discovered. But as far as this script is concerned, it’s not the only situation I played yesterday."

"I just said that to explore the prescribed situation is to infinitely amplify the character situation provided by the script." Xiao Yao continued, "So we enlarge the situation of the character based on the script. It is good, but this is the work of the actor, not the screenwriter or Director’s."

"Like me," Xiao Yao pointed to himself, "I used to act in an act to explore the prescribed situation, and when I wrote a biography, I would record all the characters I could imagine. Name, age, place of birth, family, hobbies, Height and weight, left-handed or right-handed, what is the name of the person he loves, he has been in love a few times, he likes to eat sweet or spicy food, whether he likes to wear dark or light-colored clothes and shoes, and which foods he is allergic to, Was it a master or a scumbag when I was studying, did you ever fight with someone, did you have a crush on your teacher, etc. etc. When writing a script, which screenwriter would write a character in such detail?"

   "Huh? So detailed?" The six newcomers all exclaimed.

  After listening to Xiao Yao’s long series of personal biographies, not only Zhou Feng, but also several new actors and actresses who were listening to him were dumbfounded.

"Of course, I just give an example. You are not required to write biographies to that extent." Xiao Yao laughed, "And that was what I did in the past. Now, even if I write biographies in acting, I can't write well. So detailed."

"What I want to say is," Xiao Yao looked at Zhou Feng again, "If you have doubts about the prescribed situation that you have unearthed, and are not sure whether it meets the role set by the screenwriter and director, you can discuss your prescribed situation with the screenwriter and director. It's unreasonable, right, but you can't ask the screenwriter and director to specify such a detailed character situation for you."

   "Yes, I see, director!" Zhou Feng nodded, "I write the biographies myself!"

   "How do I feel like I have been taking an acting class?" Ding Yuyang whispered to Bai Zi enlightened next to him.

   "Senior Xiao Yao's remarks are indeed more like what the teacher said to the students!" Bai Zicheng nodded, "This is an acting class!"

"We often say that screenwriters write scripts are creation, directors filming are creations, and actors acting are creations. There is nothing to say about the first two, but I have heard people questioning that actor acting is what the script writes and acts whatever the director says. Acting, actor acting is creation?" Xiao Yao said, "Exploring the prescribed situation, it is our actors who are creating! As actors, I hope you all have excellent creative ability."

  Compared with film and television works, the director's control over the final presentation of stage works is very weak, and it is more dependent on the actors' on-site performance. No matter how good the rehearsal is, the actors cannot behave on the stage exactly as they did during the rehearsal. Basically, every time a stage actor performs on stage, it is a creation. Therefore, the creative ability of the actor is particularly important in terms of stage play. This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Yao took the trouble to talk so much and gave them such an unplanned performance class.

  Of course, Xiao Yao is talking about performance, not stage performance. Even if he will not perform stage plays in the future, the things Xiao Yao said will be very useful for these actors to appear in film and television plays in the future.

   "Understood, thank you director!" This time not only Zhou Feng, but the other five people also said sternly.

   "Director," Wang Jiayi asked, "You just said that you can't write such detailed biographies now, so how do you write it now? To what extent?"

   "What I just said was that even if I write a biographical biography, I will not write it in such detail!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Actually, I no longer write biographical biographies for filming now."

   "Huh?" Ding Yuyang said, "The director, you have said so much, it turns out that you don't have to use it! Does it really work? You won't fool us?"

"Of course it works!" Zhang Yunlan said, "The prescribed situation is an acting term put forward by Stanislavsky. Digging up the prescribed situation and writing biographies, these teachers in our school's acting class have also taught us! It's just that they write character biographies. It’s not that you really have to actually write it down, you can write it in your heart, and it’s okay to know it in your heart!"

   "Oh!" Ding Yuyang nodded.

"That's not bad!" Xiao Yao looked at Zhang Yunlan, turned his head and said to the people, "But there is not only one genre in acting, and there is not only one way and way to perform. I just talked about one that I think is more suitable for the present. It’s just your method. The way I use more performance now is method-based experience, which is to believe as easily as a child, and without hesitation in my heart, I believe that I am the role I want to play, and I turn myself into my heart. The person who thinks. If I say this, can you learn?"
