Chapter 336 Obscure
Xu Rong sat behind the monitor and did not leave, mainly to prevent the conflict from intensifying again. Liu Yanming asked Zhao Zhijiang and him to look after the crew. Now that Zhao Zhijiang is not here, if Sun Honglei is scolded and gives up his choice, he may not be able to look back.
Easy to explain.
He glanced at Huang Yi who was muttering next to Sun Honglei, raised his brows slightly, and then looked away, saying: "Director Du, what happened just now, you turned around and said hello to everyone in each group, but no one
Be sure to report it to the media."
"I will pay attention to this. As long as he doesn't say it himself, I will definitely not admit it."
Seeing that Du Qifeng was such a bachelor, Xu Rong had no idea what he meant, because Du Qifeng's meaning was quite clear. With so many eyes and so many mouths, he couldn't hide it, but he would never admit that he scolded Sun Honglei to tears.
He didn't want to bring up this topic again, but turned around and asked: "What kind of state do you want him to be in?"
He was actually quite curious about Du Qifeng's specific requirements for Sun Honglei.
Du Qifeng folded his arms, scratched his chin, and said: "I can't say the specifics. It's the kind of leader who stands among a group of people and can tell at a glance whether he is the leader or the kind of leader who is always upright."
After a few seconds, Xu Rong understood what he meant and recalled the few people's guards he had met. He could feel that the other people were indeed very imposing, but what he was not sure about was what would happen if they changed their clothes.
, I’m afraid it’s hard to say whether it can make people feel righteous at a glance.
"Ah sneeze."
Zheng Zhaoqiang's sneezing next to him pulled him out of his thoughts. At this time, the recorder was already in his position, ready to turn on the phone at any time.
"action!"
Looking at Sun Honglei with his handsome lines and strides on the monitor, Xu Rong suddenly understood the root cause of the dispute between him and Du Qifeng.
The outstanding feature of Sun Honglei's performance style is the use of facial expressions. In other aspects, especially the physical expression ability, he lags far behind. Once it comes to the "feeling" that Du Qifeng cannot describe in detail, he will be helpless.
However, the shortcomings of the body are not Sun Honglei’s problem alone, but a common problem faced by all Chinese performance teaching institutions. Because film and television performances do not require strong physical expression, over time, this has led to major institutions’ lack of focus on physical training.
The level of attention generally is not high.
As for Du Qifeng's so-called "feeling", if you want to portray it, there are generally three ways. One is that the actor matches the role, that is, the actor plays his true character. However, under normal circumstances, unless it is a role tailor-made for the actor, negation must exist.
a certain distance.
Zhang Lei is a people's defender with extremely firm beliefs, while Sun Honglei was scolded by Du Qifeng just now and cried.
The second way is to turn himself into a character, but after all, Sun Honglei cannot go deep into the front-line guards and experience their work and living conditions, which will inevitably lead to his lack of inner state support.
The third way is to use pure skills to imitate their common demeanor, walking posture, speaking tone, etc., and then feel the reverse derivation of the state of mind. There will be deviations, but if you can communicate with them more
, this deviation can also be controlled within a relatively ideal range.
If Sun Honglei can find himself inside, he must have communicated with the guards. However, his current presentation method is still imitation, without the process of from outside to inside and then from inside to outside, and he has completely lost the mental outlook that the character should have.
.
After one shot, Du Qifeng handed the headphones to Xu Rong and said, "Listen."
Xu Rong had already seen it clearly and didn't need to listen to the lines anymore. He waved his hand and said, "I understand what's going on."
Du Qifeng, You Naihai, and Zheng Zhaoqiang turned their heads and looked at him: "What's going on?"
Xu Rong stood up, patted his butt, and said, "You guys probably won't understand what I said. I'll talk to him and let's film other scenes first. He won't be able to do it until the afternoon at the earliest."
You Naihai still smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, that's not necessarily the case. We have been working in this industry for decades."
Xu Rong carefully analyzed it for a few seconds before she understood what he meant. She turned around, looked at him and said, "The play is fake, but the people are real. Teacher You, can you understand?"
You Naihai laughed awkwardly twice and said vaguely: "Understand a little, understand a little."
Xu Rong also smiled and did not ask any further questions, because he was certain that You Naihai had no idea what he was talking about.
He walked over, arrived next to Sun Honglei, and said: "Brother Honglei, let's go and find a place to smoke a cigarette?"
After one shot, Sun Honglei did not hear any expression from Du Qifeng. In fact, he already knew that he still did not meet the other party's requirements. It was just because Xu Rong was sitting next to him that he did not have an attack on the spot.
"Where to go?"
Xu Rong pointed to the roof of the building and said, "Let's see if we can go up to the rooftop?"
"OK."
Facts have proved that Xu Rong was overthinking. Looking at the big solid iron door locked above the stairs, he leaned against the wall and watched Sun Honglei silently take out cigarettes and lighters.
There is a lot I want to say, but I don’t know how to start at the moment.
Sun Honglei clicked on it and said muffledly: "Thank you."
Xu Rong said with a smile: "When I first started filming, I was often scolded, and I was very angry every time. But at that time, I had to make money, and I had to listen and endure when people scolded me. Later, more and more people scolded me.
Few, but even some words that are much lighter than in the past are not very nice.
, but it made me feel even more uncomfortable than before when people scolded me. But most of the time, I never responded in person because I knew very well that many of the things I did were to make people uncomfortable.
If you scold me, at least, you can’t scold me in front of me.”
Xu Rong only said this and stopped there. No matter in the past or now, when others said something that made him uncomfortable, he would rarely "repay" it through words, because it had no substantive meaning.
Sun Honglei took out a paper towel, wiped the armrest, leaned on it, and said: "So, this is the purpose of your entry into the arts?"
Xu Rong shook his head and said: "That's not true. When I first entered the entertainment industry, I actually wanted to challenge "Teahouse" and see if I could perform better than Teacher Yu."
"Cough cough cough."
Sun Honglei didn't take a breath, coughed several times, and quickly flapped his hand in front of his nose.
"Why are you going to Guohua again?" Xu Rong saw him coughing for a while and then stamped out the cigarette butt. He walked over and took out toilet paper from his pocket, took out one piece and put it on the steps, just like that.
Sitting with legs spread.
Sun Honglei said with a smile: "It's easy to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree."
"Guohua is not a big tree."
"It doesn't matter to you, but it does to me."
Xu Rong listened to the sigh in his tone and said: "If you don't talk about this anymore, which class of drama are you in?"
Sun Honglei looked at him in surprise: "Why are you asking about this? I am from the 1994 class."
Xu Rong nodded and said, "I remember that at that time, there was a teacher in the performance department named Zhu Tong. Do you remember that?"
Sun Honglei thought for a while, then slowly shook his head twice and said: "I have never heard of this teacher, so he must not be very good, right?!"
Xu Rong rolled her eyes at him and said silently: "He is now the deputy editor-in-chief of CCTV."
Sun Honglei also silently took out another cigarette, lit it, and said: "I have never heard of this person."
The teacher-student relationship is a very strange one, because many teachers suddenly and inexplicably rise to prominence one day, and even reach a level that they have never imagined. For example, a certain teacher from Fudan University loved him.
And students who are in constant contact will naturally get better as the tide goes up.
But that's not what Xu Rong wanted to tell Sun Honglei. He said: "When he was teaching at the Chinese Opera, his training method for liberating nature was very special. There is not even a second example in the country. The general situation is like this. After the students' basic warm-up
After that, everyone will stand in an arbitrary formation in the performance hall, and then he will start to play the pre-programmed
The arranged music includes lyrical, intense, desolate, and various emotional colors. While playing the music, he will prescribe various situations for the students, for example: We are going for an outing, we are
What did you bring to eat? Does anyone want to sing something? Everyone is in such a good mood and so on and so on."
"Students have to perform according to his password. At a certain moment, the music suddenly changes. For example, the sound of lightning and thunder, the password will also become: It's raining! It's windy! It's hailing! It's coming! A typhoon is coming!
Wait, and then as the music intensifies, the passwords will also intensify little by little, until the scene slowly passes, and it becomes very exaggerated."
Looking at Sun Honglei's puzzled eyes, Xu Rong said with a smile: "In the eyes of most people, this is a very stupid training method, and even his students don't understand it, but he taught He Tong, Hu
Jun, Xu Fan, Chen Xiaoyi, Jiang Shan, Wang Ban and others."
Sun Honglei's mouth slowly opened wide, and this string of names came out. He knew that the training method of liberating nature mentioned by Xu Rong must have its own uniqueness, so he asked: "Why?"
Xu Rong's expression became a little more serious and said: "I talked to him specifically about this a while ago. He gave an analogy. A sprinter is usually required to run 100 meters in 14 seconds in training, but during competition,
He discovered that as long as he can control it within 20 seconds, he can win the championship. So when you feel like competing, do you still feel that you are not strong enough?"
Sun Honglei stared at Xu Rong blankly for a long time before asking: "Why, you know about this? You were still in elementary school at that time, right?"
Xu Rong shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is how He Zheng takes care of new people in the courtyard."
Sun Honglei understood what Xu Rong meant when he explained the training method in such detail. He sat next to him without saying thank you and said: "I have always heard that your art department has its own drama system or performance system.
, but I found that each of you has a completely different style. What is your system of human art?"
Xu Rong thought for a while and said: "Actually, you can also say it is a system, but I think it is more a mechanism, a protection mechanism."
"Protection mechanism?"
"Yes, it's a protection mechanism. For an art group to thrive for one year, it's luck. To thrive for ten years, it's skill. But if you want to thrive for a hundred years, it's not just luck and skill. Aren't you curious at all? Why?
After 60 years of experience, Renyi is still an art group with the highest box office and reputation in the theater category?"
Faced with Sun Honglei's doubts, Xu Rong continued: "Society's culture is always colliding and communicating. The thoughts of sixty years ago and the thoughts of today cannot be said to be completely different, but they are very different after all, but the external manifestation of life is
There are commonalities, and the mechanism of Renyi teaches actors to find and amplify these commonalities. Why is it called a protection mechanism? It can continue to exist, otherwise it will be very dangerous to be an actor."
"On the other hand, this mechanism is also aimed at the audience. There is a threshold for everything. Just like watching a play, you need to have a basic understanding of the assumptions of drama. There are also some plays with a relatively high threshold in literature, such as
Existential drama, some audiences have never been exposed to such works, but no matter what kind of audience, one sentence can solve the problem, what is the entertainment of this play?"
