"Good morning to all juniors and juniors, I am Xu Rong."

"Whoa whoa whoa."

Xu Rong looked at the young faces full of hope in the lecture hall and the curious gazes projected towards them, and couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.

Compared with these carefree juniors and juniors, during his college years, his mind was filled with studying, making money, and expanding connections.

When he first graduated, he occasionally felt regretful. After all, he had never and could not spend four years in a state of intoxication like most of his classmates.

This thought often flashed in his mind in the days after he left school.

Later, he suddenly realized a problem: isn't the purpose of going to college to study?

I just don’t know what’s going on, but there’s something wrong with the learning environment, which has caused an inexplicable inversion of most people’s ideas. They take it for granted that the purpose of going to college is not to study, but to have an unforgettable conversation.

Fall in love, join various clubs that are not only about drinking, but also about drinking, turning yourself into a "semi-social person", or getting a college diploma as a stepping stone.

He doesn't really care about these things now. Some people want to study, and some people are willing to fall in love, join clubs, and get involved. It's their own choice. Others have no right to interfere, but after they leave school, they should all do the same.

You must pay for your past choices and actions.

Fortunately, even though he has no pension, there is still a classmate Xiao Zhang who has always been carefree by his side. During the time they spend together, he can also feel the carefree relaxation and true love.

I feel that all the hard work is worth it.

The only pity is that Xiao Zhang's talent and quotient limit her future heights. Just like during the filming of "The Great Cause of Party Building", it was always easy to make her instructor Feng Yuanzheng laugh or cry.

Xu Rong could only sit on the sidelines and watch this. It was not an easy task to move from Si's system to Gepai, especially since the training methods that Xiao Zhang received in the past were all based on Si's system.

Just like Feng Yuanzheng was extremely opposed to classmate Xiao Zhang writing a biography, because he believed that it would limit the actor's imagination and form a performance within a fixed framework. However, in Xu Rong's perception, if he did not write a biography, he would not be able to perform the role well.

Furthermore, regarding the use of props and costumes, Feng Yuanzheng adheres to the concept of using restraint in order to maximize the expressive power of the actors themselves, but Xu Rong believes that the functions of auxiliary props should be maximized to better present the characters.

These concepts require Xiao Zhang to gradually change in the new training methods.

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" has now been renamed "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party". After two months of sporadic filming, all his scenes have been completed.

The overall feeling of filming this movie is that it was tragic.

Unparalleled cruelty.

At this time, he understood why Li Ming wanted to talk to him. It was not how outstanding he was, but how well he was set off by his peers of the same generation.

Even those born in the 60s and 70s who are idols can comprehensively suppress the vast majority of actors born in the 1980s who have majored in majors.

Although the movie is called "The Great Cause of Party Building", in his opinion, it can also be called "One Hundred Ways to Destroy the 80s Generation in the 50s, 60s and 70s".

Holding "Ming Dynasty 1566" in his hands, he looked back over it again in the two days after filming. In fact, he was not much better than his peers at the time, but most of them were standing still, immersed in the world.

Comfort zone, that is, during the years when he played the same type of role from beginning to end, he actively sought transformation, tried hard to play different roles and even genres, and completely completed his transformation at a flying speed.

But the current phenomenon cannot be ignored by him. The 80s generation is basically hopeless, but there is still a long way to go. When the older generation gradually fades out, if the entire industry is half-hearted, he will feel that it is meaningless.

.

Furthermore, when the level of practitioners is all poor, no matter how good he is, in the eyes of the audience, he is still a little higher than others, but if he is below him, there are more levels and more

By comparison, wouldn't that reveal Xu Rong's extraordinary qualities even more?

Therefore, today he was invited by Mr. Cui, his class teacher when he was a student and now the deputy dean of the School of Acting, to give a welcome speech to the juniors and girls of the Acting Department.

Xu Rong pressed his palms, waited for the students to calm down, and said: "First of all, I welcome you to come to Nortel, one of the highest art schools in the country and even the world, with your dreams. I am also honored to be able to stand here.

, share some of my experiences with you.”

"Some of you have already filmed, and some of you still know little about this industry and the profession of actors, but please believe that you are standing on the same starting line at this time, because the most indispensable thing in this industry is precisely

It is a miracle, becoming famous overnight, becoming popular overnight, happens every day. Of course, you may be engaged in the profession of actors in the future, maybe not, but please remember that no matter what kind of work you do, you must have its own value."

When Xu Rong said this, he looked at the students in the audience who were listening with their eyes wide open and their ears pricked up. He suddenly smiled and said: "Before coming here, I have been thinking about what I should say to you.

A speech to encourage you to work hard, or a bowl of chicken soup to strive for the top?"

"Hahaha."

Xu Rongyang raised the manuscript paper in his hand and said: "Actually, none of them. I came today with a communication mentality. As you can see, there are only a few dozen words written in my speech manuscript, which are actually three questions."

"First question, what is the performance?"

"Let me talk about my superficial understanding of performance. Why is performance called performance? Performance is surface, performance, expression, and performance is deduction. I think performance is to use our appearance, that is, our body to feel our heart, and then through

The body expresses what's inside, and that's performance."

"That is to say, performance is a process from the outside to the inside, and then from the inside to the outside. Therefore, an actor should pass on the script, lines, and inner feelings of the characters that we know to the audience from the inside out, and the audience

Watching a play is a feeling from the outside in. Through the actors’ external language, body shape, clothing, makeup, modeling, etc., you can see the content of the play and the inner thoughts of the characters.”

"If an actor does not feel the inner things, he is crying for the sake of crying and laughing for the sake of laughing. What he is acting is superficial. Acting like this is not called acting, but called acting. When you start acting, you

The most moving thing has been lost.”

"On the other hand, performance is a skill, which is a comprehensive reflection of the training results of voice, stage, shape and performance. If you want to be a good actor, please remember not to use instinct to perform."

Xu Rong paused for a moment. Seeing that all the students were listening attentively, but only a few took notes, he smiled and said: "After finishing the first question, I will ask the second question to shape the characters."

, what should we pursue? In other words, what should we pay attention to, what methods should be used, and what results should be achieved. I hope everyone can figure this out and explore it themselves during the next four years of study."

"The third and final question is, how do you put aside your instincts and act?"

Xu Rong looked at the students in the audience and said: "The above is the main content I want to tell you today. You have not started studying and practicing these three questions yet, so you may not be able to answer them, but it doesn't matter. When you are a senior

In the second half of the semester, I should give you a one-month course. The three questions today are the homework I assigned you in advance, and they can also be used as your graduation thesis topics."

"Wow."

After Xu Rong finished speaking, there was an uproar in the classroom. Immediately afterwards, all the students were in a panic. Some took out notebooks and pens from their bags, and those who did not bring notebooks and pens hurriedly opened their mobile phones.

, write down the last question Xu Rong just mentioned.

A girl raised her hand, and when Xu Rong signaled, she asked: "Teacher Xu, could you please repeat the first two questions?"

Xu Rong looked at the girl and looked familiar. She should have acted in "A Family with Children", but what was her name? He couldn't remember it for a while. He smiled and said: "Sorry, opportunities are like this. Just give it a try."

If you don’t remember the first two questions, it will be the same if you only remember the last question.”

Xu Rong picked up the manuscript paper and said under the astonished gazes of the students: "My fellow students, let's meet again in three and a half years."

The students in the classroom just stared blankly at Xu Rong, accompanied by the deputy dean, and left the classroom with a smile.

The moment Xu Rong went out, the classroom was like boiling water, and the noise was so loud that it almost lifted the roof.

"What are the first two questions? Who remembers them?"

"I remember, I remember, the first one is..."

In the campus, Teacher Cui looked at him happily and asked: "When will you act next time? I will take your junior students to see it."

Xu Rong understood that the head teacher was not asking about his TV series or movies, but about plays.

At present, the performance theories and training methods of various large and small systems are all derived from drama, and because there is no technical processing, the basic skills of the actors are most tested during performances.

The reason why actors from China Opera and Shanghai Opera are better than Nortel is, in the final analysis, because of their obsession with rehearsing. After four years of rehearsing, if nothing else, their basic skills are much higher than those of Nortel.

Xu Rong thought for a while and said: "If there are no accidents, there will be a round of performances around October 1st."

"How many shows are there in this round?"

"The plan is twenty games." After Xu Rong said this number, he grinned.

The smile on Cui Xinqin's face grew wider and she said, "Well, keep working hard and strive to perform thirty or forty shows in a round next year or the year after."

Cui Xinqin has seen every detail of Xu Rong's growth. She has already expected that his achievements will be very high, because in addition to his business ability, although his conduct as a person cannot be said to be perfect, as long as it does not involve consulting on professional issues

, it doesn’t make people uncomfortable when getting along with each other. Moreover, this child has never been stingy when he should be generous. She heard that Xu Rong spent a lot of money in the school during the four years of college.

It's just that she didn't expect that everything would happen so quickly. She had also led several acting classes and taught countless students. Xu Rong was the second one among the students she taught to be admitted to the People's Art School, but she

He was the first to play a role. As for becoming a member of the Humanities and Arts Committee, he was the first actor to win this honor since the establishment of Nortel Institute. Otherwise, the institute would not have invited him to be a visiting professor.

As for writing performance guidance theory and supporting training methods into the teaching materials, she had never thought of it.

Xu Rong shook his head in a hurry and said: "Teacher, you think too highly of me. How can I have that ability?"

Ten performances is a watershed in the drama industry. Less than ten performances proves that the performance is mediocre, either because the script itself has flaws or because of the limitations of the actors and directors.

Just like when Hu Jun starred in "The Wilderness", a large number of audiences left the show midway through the performance, and the crew had to disband after one performance. This also caused Hu Jun's dialogue drama, especially the play "The Wilderness", to have a psychological shadow.

And more than ten performances means that the play is a popular play at the moment. If it can reach more than twenty or even thirty performances, after multiple rounds of performances, it will be called a "classic".

For plays that can be performed for more than 30 times in each round of Renyi, after several rounds of verification, every action, every line, and even every word of the outstanding actors will be carefully analyzed and scrutinized by industry peers.

Then when a certain fifth textbook was revised, it was broken up, crushed and decomposed to become a concrete theoretical and practical model.

Xu Rong understood what Teacher Cui meant. Just like what he had experienced in the past, when he opened the textbook, he saw that it was all about Yu Zhi, Zheng Rong and others.

Perhaps Teacher Cui felt that he had already entered the Art Committee of Renyi and was only one step away from this step, but only he understood that the distance was far farther than the distance between Nortel and Renyi.

Because the overall standard of the Humanities and Arts Committee, excluding a few consultants, has dropped by more than one and a half points compared to twenty years ago.

In his spare time, he also thought about the reasons. In terms of talent, each generation always has high and low talents. As for the guiding theory, compared with the predecessors, his generation and even the previous generation have a wider range of choices and can follow one path.

If it doesn't work, you can use another one.

Theoretically, one generation is better than the other, and there is no reason why one generation is worse than the other.

In the end, he attributed it to the level of investment. Today, when the film and television market is extremely developed, Pu Cunxi, Liang Guanhua, Ding Zhicheng, Feng Yuanzheng, He Tong, Wu Gang and other popular artists have all invested their time and energy in film and television.

It is destined to be scattered.

The previous generation, like Mr. Zheng, also made a guest appearance as Taishang Laojun in "Journey to the West", but it only happened once in a few years. Most of their energy and thoughts were still on dramas.

Among the roles they are going to play.

In the final analysis, efforts and gains are directly proportional.

If the theater gives the actors a share of the box office, each one will definitely work harder than the film and television actors. Take "Thunderstorm" as an example, there are eight actors in total, plus two supporting actors. If they can perform more than 30 shows in one round, the box office will be at least 20 million.

Bottom line, even if half is taken out and divided equally, an actor can earn an average of 1.2 million, or more than 1 million a month. Even most film and television actors can't keep up.

If that were the case, the actors in the theater would have worked hard rehearsing without anyone urging them.
