Chapter 40 Rehearsal(1/2)

Zhou Ping is the most difficult to play...his behavior will not win sympathy from the general audience, and his character is very complicated.

When playing him, be careful not to be monotonous, but try to flesh out his character in such a way that we get a sense of reality.

Also, if possible, I hope to... remove the clouds surrounding his character. First, give him a few simple lines, draw a clear outline first, and then slowly refine it.

Describe it, so that it is well organized, complex but simple, so that the audience will not fall into the fog.

The person who plays him must try to find sympathy for him (just like he did for Fanyi), otherwise it will be stranded in the last scene and will not work.

——Cao Yu in the 25th year of the Republic of China

Xu Rong listened to Mr. Zheng Rong's analysis, and when his eyes met Yu Zhen's occasionally, he chuckled.

They only worked together a few years ago, when Yu Zhen played the role of Chen Zhenglun in "Snow Leopard".

But he found that Yu Zhenxiao was a little reluctant, but he didn't pay much attention.

At this time, Mr. Zheng was telling a few words about "Thunderstorm" when the old dean was still alive.

Speaking from experience, Mr. Zheng and Pu Cunxi should be the actors who have the most say in "Thunderstorm" among Renyi actors. Mr. Zheng has played Zhou Puyuan for decades, while Pu Cunxi inherited his father's legacy and has both starred in Zhou Ping.

A key role.

After Mr. Zheng finished speaking, Pu Cunxi said: "Now that Mr. Zheng has finished speaking, everyone should also talk about their views on the characters. Teacher Zheng happens to be here. If there is something inappropriate, you might as well ask Mr. Zheng to help correct it."

As he spoke, he pointed at Xu Rong, who was wearing a long gown and sitting upright, and said: "Xu Rong, you start first."

Xu Rong put down the pen in his hand, thought for a while, and then said: "For more than a month, I have been thinking about a question. If, I mean if, there are not so many coincidences, and Zhou Ping did not shoot himself.

, and the environment of the times has not changed much, what kind of person will Zhou Ping become in the end?"

Xu Rong came up and asked the question, which stunned everyone.

Because Zhou Ping is indeed dead, and the environment of the times has indeed undergone tremendous changes, no one will consider what will happen if he lives.

Xu Rong said with a smile: "I think it is very likely that he will become another Zhou Puyuan. Perhaps, as Zhou Chong grows older, he will gradually become Zhou Ping, and eventually become like Zhou Puyuan. This

It’s not just something they can decide, but etiquette and living environment that turn them into that.”

Zheng Rong listened quietly, and when he saw him suddenly stopped, he said: "Continue."

Xu Rong spread his hands and said, "No more."

"No more?"

Everyone in the conference room had the same questions as Zheng Rong. Pu Cunxi asked him to talk about his views on Zhou Ping, but he only predicted a future that did not exist, and then disappeared.

"Yeah, it's gone."

"Why is it gone?"

Xu Rong thought for a while, shook his head gently and said, "It's not convenient to say."

Zheng Rong looked at his troubled look and smiled abruptly. After a while, he said: "Then next one."

Pu Cunxi and Zhang Wankun stared blankly at Zheng Rong and casually uncovered it with a smile. Monk Zhang Er was confused for a moment.

Old man, what do you mean? You can't be so blatant about kissing someone from another generation, right?

When we were rehearsing the play, weren't we able to get through it so easily?

While others looked relaxed, they also felt a little bit disdainful.

Relaxed because looking at the situation, Mr. Zheng was in a good mood today. Xu Rong said "It's not convenient to say" and put it off. Even if what they said was wrong later, they probably wouldn't be treated mercilessly by Mr. Zheng.

criticize.

Disdain is even simpler. Since Mr. Ouyang passed away and Teacher Yu could no longer interfere with the affairs of the hospital due to physical reasons, Mr. Zheng has become the oldest elder in the hospital. Even if Teacher Lan Tianye meets him, he has to praise him.

"Brother".

With such a good opportunity to perform, Xu Rong chose not to say anything. Most likely, he did not dare to say anything without any preparation, fearing that what he said was too outrageous and would be scolded by Mr. Zheng.

When Yu Mingjia arrived, she hurriedly closed the book in front of her and said: "I think Fanyi is a poor miserable person, a victim of the times. She was born in a scholarly family and has the elegant temperament and delicate appearance of an old-style Chinese woman.

, she longs for freedom and equality, but she also has a gloomy, melancholy, and cold side. Her character is complex. The reason for this complex character is that she is a victim of 'parents' orders and matchmaker's words'...

..."

After Ming Jia finished speaking, Zheng Rong asked directly: "Do you think she is pitiful?"

Yu Mingjia looked at Zheng Rong's serious look, swallowed softly, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly.

Zheng Rong did not say anything else in response to her speech. Instead, he looked at Xu Rong and asked, "Do you sympathize with Zhou Ping?"

Xu Rong barely hesitated and immediately shook his head.

Zheng Rong then turned his head and looked at Yu Mingjia: "It's good that you have your own feelings about the character. It proves that you have really thought about this character carefully, but I want to ask you one thing, do you sympathize with yourself?"

"You said her character is complicated? Do you think your character is complicated?"

Yu Mingjia looked at Zheng Rong's completely different attitude towards Xu Rong, and was a little at a loss. How could it be that now, not only had his standards become stricter, but his attitude had also become harsher?

Seeing that Yu Mingjia lowered his head and said nothing, Zheng Rong glanced at Pu Cunxi unhappily. Needless to say, this generation, he just asked two questions in a pleasant manner, as if he had suffered a lot of grievances.

This guy is used to it.

He also quickly realized another part of the reason. Perhaps the contrast between before and after was too obvious, which made several young people sitting here feel dissatisfied, so he said: "You may think that I am too tolerant to Xu Rong.

As for Ming Jia, it is too harsh. In fact, it is not. Xu Rong said a lot. Have you forgotten that he would only tell his close brother that he had fallen in love with someone when he was drunk?

A woman who shouldn’t be loved, but that’s all.”

"It can be said that he has said everything he can say. If we ask more about the rest, he will definitely show his impulsive and repressed side."

Seeing that several young people sitting here had their heads lowered and looked unconvinced, Zheng Rong smiled and stopped preaching simply and said, "Let's go to the theater and take a look around."

"good."

Xu Rong didn't care about Mr. Zheng's temporary decision. He had prepared everything that needed to be prepared. Although the time was a bit short and it was a bit rushed, the rest had to be polished slowly in the rehearsals over and over again.

In the past seven days, he has said every line, even a single "Who?", at least a dozen times, and the tone, expression and body behavior have been designed and thought over and over again.

.

Fortunately, although the details were a bit late due to time, in general, Mr. Zheng had already helped him and saved him a lot of detours.

When they arrived at the theater, Mr. Zheng Rong sat behind the table in front of him. On the table, there was a bell.

Xu Rong, together with others, stood at the edge of the crude temporary stage, waiting to go on stage.

Many people quietly glanced at Xu Rong.

This is his first time on the stage of human art. Although it is not a live performance, the audience watching it is much higher than the standard of ordinary audiences.

Many film and television actors are unable to act in dramas because they are poor in basic skills. First of all, the actors must at least be able to make the audience in the corner of the theater with a capacity of nearly a thousand people hear a clear and full voice. The premise of all this is breath, voice, words, and so on.

It is a solid foundation of breathing, vocalization, and enunciation. This alone is impossible without systematic and rigorous training.

Renyi actors are not allowed to use microphones during performances.

In the drama industry, there is an old saying: If the voice is talented, the mouth needs work.

In human art, breath, voice, and words are only the foundation of stage performance. Once you have solid basic skills, you only have the qualifications to play a small role.

Except for Yu Zhen and Shi Lanya, no one thinks "Why?", they all think "Why?".

Everyone came here from a minor role. How come you, who was born in Nortel, are the leading role?

This is unreasonable!

Mr. Zheng Rong looked at the people standing on the stage, put the bell to his hand, and said: "Let's get started."

The first to appear were Zhang Wankun who played Lu Gui and Xin Yue who played Sifeng.

Because the scene is simple and simple, the two of them are basically unrealistic.

Xu Rong looked at Zhang Wankun and Xin Yue, who were accustomed to walking to the middle of the stage, and couldn't help but sigh. If the actors had such confidence and corresponding skills when filming "Snow Leopard", the effect would probably be much better.

"Sifeng!"

"Sifeng!"

"Ring ring ring."

As soon as Zhang Wankun opened his mouth and said a few words, the bell on Zheng Rong's hand rang. This is an old rule in the arts. During rehearsals, listen to the bell.

As soon as the bell rings, it means that the director has something to say and you have to quiet down immediately.

Although Pu Cunxi is the director, Mr. Zheng came over today and he has no qualifications to ring the bell.

Zheng Rong said with a sullen face: "It's too deliberate. Think about how you shouted to your child who was watching TV when you were doing housework at home. Before you had strong emotions, you would definitely not stare at her and shout.

"

Although Zhang Wankun was a little embarrassed to be scolded directly in front of all the juniors, he had long been accustomed to it in the past, so he nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, Teacher Zheng."

But in my heart, I made up my mind. I really have to think about it carefully when I go back. It is too embarrassing for this group of juniors to be punished like this.

The old man did not stop, then turned his head slightly and said to Xin Yue: "The first time Lu Gui called you, you pretended not to hear it. It's not true that you didn't hear it. You have to give this 'pretend' a specific meaning."

Respond, otherwise you shouldn't say 'Drink, it's really hot' in the next sentence, but say 'Hey, did you call me?'."

Xin Yue crossed her hands in front of her body and nodded obediently: "Okay, Teacher Zheng."
