Chapter 118 Summary(1/2)

Teacher Jiao Juyin once said that when an actor experiences life, he should first go deep into this class to experience and observe. He should not expect to find a typical model at once. He should first look for the type and then look for the typical model.

Xu Rong leaned down at the table, writing fast or slow. Above these three lines of words, there are two short sentences just written:

Summary of "The Beautiful Time of Daughter-in-law"

1. About experiencing life

On the sofa next to her, Xiao Zhang was half tilted and carefully reading the "Teahouse" that she had just printed out today. She was quite fascinated by her reading a small piece of apple that was held to her mouth, forgot to put it down and forgot to put it into her mouth.

"Crazy."

As she made a crisp sound from turning the paper, Xu Rong glanced at her and continued to write:

I suffered a lot during the experience of life. I didn't realize it at that time, but some of the discoveries I found during the actual shooting later made me regret it.

Is there someone like Yuwei around me?

Surely not.

But it is undeniable that there must be many people who are similar to him. I remember that during the period when I lived in Anshan, relatives often came to Xiao Zhang's family, perhaps because of my existence.

They often ask celebrities what they usually do, what life is like, whether the work is hard, etc. At that time, I thought that they were not my "object" and not the people I needed, and regarded those simple as "tutoring work" outside of experiencing life.

At that time, my object was myself, and I insisted on starting from myself and starting from life. Therefore, I specially created many conditions to get close to the aftertaste.

Now that I think about it, my behavior was not completely correct at that time. I should not create conditions, but should adapt to the real life with my original attitude and feel the distance between myself and the aftertaste.

Human interests have commonalities, and there must be thoughts and feelings of the same nature. It is just that a certain emotion is more in this person and less in that person. What I should have done at that time should be to find these commonalities through a certain specific way, and by discovering these commonalities, and then to compare the distance between me and Yuwei, to find ways to eliminate the more in me, to increase the less in me, to find ways to increase the less in me.

Just like me, Feng Jiayi and Lin Shen, the three of us will have the same smile at some point, and the two of them will also have the same smile at some point.

So when I come to these relatives at Xiao Zhang’s house, is there anyone with some characteristics of Yu Wei?

I think there must be some, but I didn't analyze it carefully at that time.

From this incident, I realized the deep meaning of Mr. Jiao's words. Life itself is a fertile land. An actor should be like a poet, keenly sensing, and record everything inside and outside of life, remember it in emotions, in notebooks, starting from the general point of view, typical cases are inevitable, but he cannot completely exist in a specific person, only in the writing of the screenwriter and in the creation of the actors.

Then return to a simple question and experience life.

What is experiencing life?

What to experience?

How to experience it?

After breaking apart the problem, you will also find that there are too many ways to explore, and you must also dig, rather than relying on your feelings, simply looking for similar people or creating similar environments.

From the above, we can return to the most basic emotional experience again, so we can basically clarify that when experiencing life, we must first experience thoughts and emotions. Only when what is needed is thoughts and emotions, will we realize that the required "experience" life is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. In the process of creating aftertaste, I only took the first step and ignored the importance of the second step.

In addition, human emotions are complex. How do you come about these complex emotions?

Without these emotions, how can we distinguish which behaviors are reasonable and which are unreasonable? This seems to be trapped in the strange logic of having chickens or eggs first.

Seeing Xu Rong stop writing, Xiao Zhang raised his head and asked, "Teacher Xu, why did Teacher Cui ask me to play Wang Shufen?"

"It will be more natural. There are not many girls in our class who are familiar with me. You said that if they play a couple with me, it will definitely be unnatural."

Xiao Zhang nodded, suddenly thought of a question and said, "Yes, Teacher Xu, don't lose your temper at them when rehearsing the show."

Xu Rong looked at her strangely and asked, "When did I lose my temper?"

"Just when you filmed "The Hidden" before, you scolded Song Jia several times."

"I'm for her own good, and she won't take it to heart."

Xiao Zhang tilted his head and said, "Then why did she have to drink you on the day of the filming?"

Xu Rong was silent, but what Xiao Zhang said was the truth.

Xiao Zhang sat upright and said with his fingers, "Although you are much more popular than them, for them, we are classmates and are equal. You can't scold them, and you are not qualified to scold them."

Xu Rong understood what she meant, put the pen next to her, and asked with a smile: "Then according to your wishes, if it weren't for a classmate, I would be able to scold me?"

Xiao Zhang was chewing the apple while thinking, and said unfastly: "Not that, how can I say it? Anyway, it's the school's theory of the theory, which is different from the crew's theory of the theory."

Xu Rong nodded with a smile. Xiao Zhang made a movie, but he didn't learn anything. At least he realized the differences between the rules inside and outside the school gate.

When Xiao Zhang saw Xu Rong picking up the pen again, he said softly: "Teacher Xu, let's discuss something?"

Xu Rong looked at her looking expectant, immediately guessed that she was not holding back her fart and asked, "What's the matter?"

"You can't call me Xiao Zhang in the future, because you keep calling me like this, and people call me Sister Xiao Zhang. Look, Xiao Zhang is Xiao Zhang and her sister is sister. How can you get together and shout?"

"Then what did you say I called you?"

Xiao Zhang immediately straightened his chest and said for granted: "Call me, I'm one year older than you!"

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment, and amid Xiao Zhang's expectant gaze, he stood up and left the study.

After waiting for a while, when he came in again, he was holding a hammer in his hand.

Xiao Zhang was frightened immediately when he saw it. He hurriedly got up, shrank to a corner of the sofa, staring at Xu Rong as if he was facing a great enemy, saying, "Teacher Xu, you should call me Xiao Zhang."

Xu Rong took out the walnuts he was holding behind him, handed them to her, and said, "Smash them up and eat them, and replenish your brain."

"Hmm?" Xiao Zhang was no longer afraid, and his momentum was immediately excited, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Not bothering me."

"oh."

Xiao Zhang took the hammer and walnut, got off the sofa, walked to the door, suddenly turned around and asked, frowned and asked, "Why am I stupid?"

"Xiao Zhang, I tell you that all the fools in this world will only think that they are very smart. No fools have ever thought they are stupid, but they will only treat others as fools. You will think that they are stupid, but they can prove that you are very smart."

Xiao Zhang frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Xu Rong's serious nod to express his affirmation, and said, "Listen, it seems to make sense."

When Xiao Zhang left the door, Xu Rong closed the door, sat in front of the desk, and wrote again:

I once heard a habit of directing actors when rehearsing. A sentence he often said: Try to let go, try to break through yourself, don’t be afraid of being dissatisfied, the director can help you take it.

Sometimes he would ask the actor to write some plots he wanted to act. Of course, I think the premise is naturally a complete experience. So does what the actor hopes must conform to the character's behavior logic?

From my own perspective, I think what I have observed is the real life, that is, there is no problem with me taking it to present it.

But something happened this morning changed my mind.

I was wondering how to get out of Manager Wang’s appearance, and what came to my mind was naturally Mr. Zhi’s performance.

But after trying, even if no one needs to evaluate it, I know that there is something wrong with my departure.

My steps are not light enough.

Why?

After walking a few steps, I realized that my clothes were not very convenient and there were no leggings. At the same time, I couldn't walk at a speed that attracted people from coming and going.

In the past, I thought I knew enough about "Teahouse". It was not until I got through such a simple action that I realized that I didn't understand the past. At the same time, it solved the logical sequence of emotions and behaviors in the previous issue.

To imitate a specific form, from the perspective of performance, I made the mistake of formalism, but from the method, I was on the right path because I gradually perceived the motivation or thought of the character from this specific form.

Then, by extension, starting from life, if it is merely regarded as the purpose of performance, it should be considered a formalism in essence. Although those appearance actions do exist in real life, there must be a process of digestion and absorption when used. The imitation itself should be to perceive deep thoughts and then re-present, otherwise, it is imitation rather than creation.

Creation must go through the heart.

At this point, it involves a problem I encountered before.

When the emotional experience is in place and the expression skills are rich enough, the result is that the actor's performance style will eventually be consistent with the style of the script, and it will appear naturally in the prescribed situation.

It will also lead to the often-called drama that is popular and people are not popular.

At present, this problem has been temporarily solved. The technology I have mastered can support my style to maintain the unity of the style of the play. Yu Zecheng's popularity in one role also allows me to use this performance method, taking into account both business and performance. For the time being, this is a solution with the best of both worlds.

But in terms of purely empathetic ability of performance, style is a reflection of the limitations of the actors themselves, and Siss has long made arguing about this.

2. About the same actors

This is a worse problem I encountered in the process of shaping the aftertaste.

I hope my fellow performers can perceive the impact of my actions. During this process, for some objective reasons, I had to make some adjustments.

This should be attributed to the psychology of "individual heroism", which is not only an ideological problem, but also a technical defect.

Because under normal circumstances, all this should happen naturally, rather than my unilateral and deliberate guidance.

This situation comes down to two points: either my technical presentation cannot achieve the purpose of natural guidance, or it is to play the piano against a cow.

The harm of the latter is undoubtedly huge. In the future, they may receive more scripts, get more roles, and make more and worse scenes.

Therefore, while enriching one's own dimensions in the future, eliminate any deliberate guidance!

After writing this, Xu Rong gently closed the notebook. In fact, he still wanted to write a little, but he was still uncertain at the moment, so he thought about waiting before talking.

There is no hurry. There are two more dramas to be filmed this year. He has time to verify and summarize.

After putting away the notebook, he pulled out another script from the drawer next to him.

Before Dawn

This is a drama that Liu Jiang had long asked him to film, but because of the tightening of policies, he had to undergo major renovations, which has been delayed until now.

I didn't know if I didn't read it, but after looking through it, he was stunned.

This is going to be over.
