Chapter 115: The Heart(1/2)

"A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Feng Le had accepted another female disciple, uh, uh, right?"

Zhu Xu made a gesture to invite Lan Tianye to sit down, and said to him half jokingly and half complimentary.

Zhu Xu divided the sentence into two parts without leaving any trace. The first part was "A few days ago, I heard that Feng Lelao had accepted another female disciple." Then he paused for about a second before saying the second half.

"Uh, uh, really?"

Xu Rong sat aside, carefully observing his every expression and movement. The reason why Master Zhu Xu paused was because after he finished the first half of his sentence, both of them had to move to their seats and take their seats.

When Lan Tianye heard this, his expression was a little stunned. In his astonishment, he admitted frankly: "Huh?...Oh, yes, well, there is such a thing, and I am quite intelligent. It's okay, it's okay."

good."

The ending sound of his "um" is extremely long, and each word feels like an undulating mountain peak, with high and low levels, but the transition is quite gentle. It seems that he is confident, and he seems to be taking this opportunity to think.

Zhu Xu listened and nodded gently with a smile.

Lan Tianye's tone was a little faster, but his expression and tone became more solemn and holy: "It is rare for a girl to be spiritual. When I meet a child with wisdom, I can't bear to see her fall into the mud. Buddha said,"

Compassion, Mencius said, and intolerance, are a heart that cherishes the good life. There is no reason in the world to refuse to help someone when they are about to fall into the water."

"Yes, thorough, thorough."

Xu Rong has listened to this passage more than a dozen times, but every time, he can listen to it as a new one. The most important thing is that every time, he can find the two old men's new and different treatments and attempts.

Although the two old men only read the script rather than rehearsing, the smoothness of their conversation gave him extremely complex and strong impulses every time.

From the perspective of an audience, he would inevitably feel indignant when faced with a beast in disguise. If Mencius was in front of him, he would probably have to be slapped with a big-eared slap: Stay away from me!

Because no one would have thought that a respected old man could talk about harming a teenage girl in such a high-sounding way, and the listener would think it was so natural.

From an actor's point of view, Xu Rong's deeper feeling is nature. He can vaguely distinguish traces of some familiar or unfamiliar techniques, but if the whole paragraph is viewed as a whole, these traces disappear strangely.

, and people unconsciously focus on the "evil" presented as a whole.

Xu Rong silently made a judgment in his heart. In this dialogue, although Mr. Lan Tianye had more lines, and Uncle Zhu Xu echoed except for the first sentence, in comparison, in this round of confrontation, Lan Tianye

In fact, he is slightly inferior to Master Zhu, especially the sentence "thorough, thorough" used by Master Zhu Xu at the end, which expresses his indifference to the fate of others with a casual echo.

He thinks that the first sentence is the one thing that makes Mr. Lan Tianye inferior to Master Zhu Xu.

Feng Leshan's "sexuality" is no longer news. To him and his friends, "female disciples" are an elegant thing, but when Master Zhu Xu mentioned it, the "shock" he showed was actually

This kind of unusual reaction is a "first time" in the performance.

After all, I haven’t performed on stage in twenty years.

"Wait, that's not right."

Xu Rong remembered something and looked down at the script again. When he noticed the words "(seems to be hesitating)" on the script, he immediately overturned his judgment.

The problem did not arise with the old man, but with the old dean who wrote the script.

But he didn't dare to conclude for a while, because the old dean wrote the script and asked Mr. Ba Jin to read it. Did the two great writers really ignore the performance of such an important character?

There is no 100% authority in his ideas. Even Strawberry occasionally doubted the accuracy of some of his judgments, because even Strawberry himself had constant development and change of his ideas during his lifetime. In his later years,

There are also doubts, denials and revisions of one's own early theories.

It is precisely because of this that the Method School was born.

Moreover, even within Renyi, there are actors like Lu Qi who have a different style from Renyi. Pu Cunxi’s father, Mr. Su Min, also proposed that "actors jump in and out during performances" and the Sri Lankan system.

Inconsistent views.

This point is roughly similar to Xu Rong’s contention of “I am ‘my’ distracting thoughts”. In the final analysis, “experience” is too abstract and difficult.

Domestic performance theory has gone through countless rounds of attenuation. The first is the mature Strawberry system. Although it originated from Strawberry, did his students must fully understand Strawberry's ideas when passing it on?

The translator will inevitably experience attenuation during the translation process. Just like Yu Dafu's translation of "Small Clouds of Beijing", after Lin Yutang read it, he only thought that he had only translated 80% of his original intention.

And it is passed on again and again, and it will inevitably decay layer by layer. When it comes to him, how much truly belongs to Si?

Therefore, Xu Rong had been accustomed to verifying the feasibility of the theory through practice a long time ago. After all, the leader once said that social practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Furthermore, at his current point, it has become an instinct to ignore the brackets in the script, because when the author writes the script, he experiences each character alone, while when the actor performs, he experiences a character wholeheartedly.

Once a character pays too much attention to parentheses, he will inevitably lose his grasp of the entire scene.

While Xu Rong was silently analyzing the fate of Feng Leshan, the two old men stopped in perfect agreement. Lan Tianye frowned and shook his head very lightly, saying: "No, no, something's not right.

.”

Zhu Xu clenched his fist and put it against his chin, feeling the same way. Lan Tianye's scene didn't come out, so his scene was a little less interesting.

Li Liuyi looked at the two of them doubtfully and asked, "Teachers, what's the problem?"

"It doesn't feel right."

Li Liuyi frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Yes, the reason for the lines?"

Zhu Xu said: "I think it would be better if I call you Feng Leweng. Listen, I heard that Feng Leweng accepted another female disciple a few days ago, right?"

Lan Tianye nodded slightly and said: "The following paragraph..."

Xu Rong listened to the two men's on-the-spot changes and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He originally felt that the two old men's handling of the script had reached its peak, but after Uncle Zhu Xu changed a word, he felt that he spoke more smoothly.

The reason for such easy changes must first be attributed to the fact that the characters they played were all people they had seen with their own eyes and were even familiar with. However, deleting the two "uh"s made them appear more familiar with each other. This is not just a simple matter.

experience.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the two old men reread a large section of the deleted lines, and Xu Rong's endurance reached its limit.

He was so curious about the starting point of the two old men's treatment. If the overall character presentation was based on experience, then the changes in details were purely based on intuitive artistic beauty, deep understanding of theory, innovation and the use of skills.

And these, according to the habits developed by actors and actresses, are most likely to be recorded in notebooks or gaps in the script.

He couldn't wait any longer.

In the evening, he drove back to the courtyard.

The courtyard is still brightly lit, even though there is still one year left before the 60th anniversary celebration, but the attention from above and below, while focusing, has also brought huge pressure to Renyi, which has shown an obvious upward trend in recent years.

Xu Rong had already greeted Ren Ming before coming back. Knowing that he wouldn't be off work for a while, he parked the car and went straight to Ren Ming's office.

When they arrived, Xu Rong looked at what Ren Ming was discussing with Tang Ye in the office. He knocked on the door twice first, and when the two looked over, he said: "Ren Yuan, Sister Tang, are you still busy?"

Tang Ye was originally an actor. He was short and had a round face. He used to play children. Later, after he became a director, he occasionally made guest appearances, but he focused more on directing.

This is a long-standing tradition in the arts. A good director may not be able to act, but a good actor must be able to direct. Just like Mr. Lan Tianye, since the 1960s, the staff has been turned to directing.

"The dean has given us a new task." Ren Ming responded, then realized something was wrong, "You ran back, couldn't you have already spent all the money?"

He had heard that Xu Rong had always been very lavish in spending money.

"How can you?" Xu Rong sat down with a smile and warmed up the situation with irrelevant words, "What's the new mission?"

Tang Ye smiled and said: "The dean wants to arrange a big show for the seniors in the courtyard."

Xu Rong looked at the two of them blankly: "Old senior, big show?"

As a member of the Arts Committee, he hasn't heard anything about it yet, which shouldn't be the case.

Ren Mingdao: "Well, the script hasn't come out yet, but there is a rough prototype, a play specially written for Teacher Zhu Lin, Teacher Lan Tianye, Teacher Zhu Xu, Teacher Zheng Rong, Teacher Lu Zhong and Teacher Xu Xiulin."

Xu Rong listened to a string of familiar names, and the smile on his face gradually faded. He always felt that he had made a loss by taking over "Home", and he had lost blood.

"What... cough cough." His throat was a little dry, and he coughed twice before asking softly, "When will the group be formed?"

Ren Ming scratched his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't work this year. Xiao Tang is constantly chasing Teacher Liu for the script every day, but judging from the progress, it will almost take the Chinese New Year to finish it, so no more experts can be invited to review and revise it.

, at the earliest, the team will be established in April or May next year.”

Xu Rong scratched his head. In April and May, there would be no chance, but he would have to play.

But in that case, I'm afraid I won't be able to perform both plays well.

He said nothing, but he always felt that he was at a loss.

Ren Ming looked at Xu Rong and suddenly became silent. He laughed. He had heard Zhang Heping mention that Xu Rong agreed to star in "Home". Was it because he knew in advance that the two old men would star in the movie, so he simply exposed the matter and asked

He said: "Is there something wrong with you coming back?"

Xu Rong gathered his energy and said: "That's it. The two old men have been living in the yard for almost half a month. I was wondering if I should let them come out to relax?"

Ren Ming said in surprise: "Isn't that just right? You can also take the opportunity to learn more. In fact, you don't know that these seniors in our courtyard are busy with children, and they are actually very happy to have someone to talk to them every day.

Chatting with people like Pu Ge and Li Xin. When I have nothing to do, I often go to their homes to sit and help the elderly with housework and so on."

"Of course, we are just chatting, not like you, who is bothering the old man with his brain."

Xu Rongsan laughed, and then his face suddenly darkened, and he sighed heavily and longly, but there was no follow-up.

When Ren Ming and Tang Ye looked at his face and his heart-wrenching sigh, their hearts couldn't help but slow down. They were planning to arrange a play for a few seniors, but when they saw Xu Rong

You mean, it seems like it can’t be arranged?

The smile on his face immediately dropped a lot, and he asked worriedly: "No, what happened?"

Xu Rong smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "That's not the case, it's just that the two old men are so dedicated. You don't know, they spent a long time just for a title today, and they asked us to check a lot of information. I am

I'm afraid I'll do this every day..."

Seeing that the two of them leaned forward a little out of concern, Xu Rong's tone became even lower: "I'm afraid that the two old men's bodies won't be able to bear it."
