Chapter 448 Birth

"Impurity" is Lan Yingying's subjective feeling. Xu Rong's performance gives her the feeling that there is a trace of inconspicuous flaw on a piece of jade that is surprising and rare. This flaw does exist, but it would be really difficult for her to define the origin and cause of this flaw.

Just now, she saw Xu Rong criticizing Pu Cunxi and Gong Lijun, thinking that this is the atmosphere of the People's Art Theatre, so when her mind was hot, she said it out.

As she spoke, she immediately realized that maybe she had made a mistake. Almost all eyes in the rehearsal hall were all focused on her. Everyone's eyes were strange. She was scrutinized by more than twenty pairs of eyes. Her long and thin face turned red and clear. Teacher Xu is the department director and the deputy captain of the People's Art Theater Team. How could she have any problems with her acting?

She waved her hand in a hurry to defend herself: "Sorry Xu, Director Xu, I'm talking nonsense, I'm sorry."

Xu Rong looked at the uneasy Lan Yingying and comforted her warmly: "There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Don't have too many concerns. You just came here and didn't understand our family's traditions. If you have any opinions or suggestions, especially in terms of creation, as long as you think it is not suitable, even if you put it forward, don't think it is a senior, the leader dares not say it. You can't say that our People's Art Theater does not have so many rules."

He really thinks so. If the newcomer gives advice to his predecessors, if it makes sense, it can help his predecessors improve and grow. If it is unreasonable or has a wrong understanding, it can get the predecessors corrected and guided by his predecessors. This is a culture that is beneficial but not harmful, and of course, it is also a culture that is anti-traditional culture.

Seeing that Lan Yingying still waved her hand quickly, Xu Rong said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "But say ok first, right, as soon as you graduate, I will approve you to become a regular person immediately. If what you say is unreasonable, I will let you become a regular person now and wear small shoes for you every day in the future."

"Hahaha."

The frozen air in the rehearsal hall flowed again because of Xu Rong's jokes. Lan Yingying looked at Xu Rong's kind and encouraging smile and calmed down a little. At the People's Art Theater, Xu Rong was her only acquaintance.

Xu Rong is her university teacher. Although she only taught one class in total, she was also a teacher.

After the laughter fell, Xu Rong said, "Say whatever you think. You have not left school. As your teacher, I will teach you another lesson. What you shouldn't say is rotten in your stomach. What you should say is bold and bold. Even if it is wrong, don't leave half of it, hesitate and be vague. You can't firmly up your own ideas. Who else can you expect to support you?"

Lan Yingying listened to Xu Rong's encouragement, and almost covered her eyes with a mist, saying, "I, I just feel that everything in your performance is very perfect, and the lines are also very ups and downs, but it just seems like there is something missing."

Xu Rong stopped awkwardly again, paused, and asked in confusion: "Is there something missing, what's missing?"

In front of more than 20 people, he began to feel difficult about the current situation. In his imagination, Lan Yingying should have had a deviation in her understanding of the script or characters. The next development was probably Lan Yingying raised doubts. He did not think it was offensive to give an answer and encouraged her again. Then Lan Yingying expressed her gratitude and thanked her.

If he had not been notified in advance, he would have suspected that Lan Yingying was the helper that Ren Ming or Pu Cunxi had found for him.

If the questions raised by Lan Yingying are of high level, perhaps today's scene will be recorded in the history of the People's Art Theater, as one of the events in the mature performance system of the People's Art Theater, like the question and answers of Jiao Juyin and Yu Shizhi and others in the past.

But Lan Yingying's expression was simply a hooligan: You acted badly, and as for why it was not good, I couldn't say it.

"Fellowship?" Lan Yingying said in a certain way, but then she shook her head again, "It doesn't seem to be true, sorry, I don't know how to describe it."

Xu Rong nodded thoughtfully and said, "Don't worry, it's not too late to tell me when I figure it out. However, since you haven't said anything, you can't be promoted to regular today."

"Hahaha."

Xu Rong smiled and nodded at Lan Yingying again.

Intern, Lan Yingying.

Of course, he knew the problems in his lines, or his problems were common problems among all Chinese actors, so that no matter the audience or peers, he never thought it was a problem, but was used to it.

He discovered very early that the current performance system, whether it is the Sir, the Listrasberg system, is not completely suitable for Chinese actors. Chinese is monosyllable, with the voice part at the front, so traditional Peking Opera, crosstalk, and folk art are all sent forward, while letters are polysyllable, with the voice part at the back, so bel canto is sent from the back, which doesn't seem to be much different, and they are sent forward, but the actual application process will lead to great deviations. Use bel canto training methods to speak Chinese, and the monosyllable Chinese characters are whisked in the mouth before they come out. To a certain extent, it can be said that it has been 'diluted'.

His vocal training is based on bel canto training in the Western performance system. For example, Chinese is not bad, but like his Carrera, the 95 can run, and the 92 can be added, but there are subtle differences between the two. This difference will not have any problems when compared with Mazda, but if compared with the leader's car, the defect will be infinitely amplified immediately.

He also realized this problem before. He used bel canto to speak lines, and the posterior pharynx is often tight, but he has probably made up for this defect through traditional relaxation, directional exercises and other methods. Although it still exists, its overall impact has reached a basically negligible point.

But now, he has borrowed the art of pronunciation techniques of opera, and this issue has been a little magnified by him.

It also proves that forcibly mingling the Western performance system and traditional opera performances is completely unfeasible.

He was not sure whether Lan Yingying was referring to this issue. If so, it would reveal the fact that she had no concept of the technology of "lines". Anyone who has some research on performance would know that this is an unsolvable problem.

If Xu Rong could solve the problem, he would immediately give him the title of Xu as a professor at the same time.

Xu Rong sat back to the director's desk and looked down. The bell on his left hand and Ren Ming's right hand was replaced by a notebook, and the bell ran between Ren Ming and Tang Ye.

Xu Rong understood what Ren Ming meant, not that he would not let him say it, but that he would say it last.

He watched Pu Cunxi and Gong Lijun appear on the stage again, and subconsciously glanced at the bell. He had already confirmed that neither Pu Cunxi nor Gong Lijun had made sufficient preparations for this station, and his relationship was much worse.

No matter how well they arranged, it is very likely that they would not be able to play in the end. This play was originally tailor-made for several old men and old ladies.

When Lan Yingying came on stage, he remembered Lan Yingying's "criticism" just now.

The little girl really dares to say that how can this be a problem of relationship?

He smiled silently and shook his head.

But his head was shaken halfway, and he remembered Li Xuejian, the actor who could act without sound and burst into tears.

He remembered Zheng Rong, the actor with a feudal grandeur who walked out of four steps.

At the end, he remembered a glamorous actor who had never met before, the heroic Qiu Shengrong who sang "Lock Five Dragons".

Feeling is an abstract concept. In the technical industry, using abstract concepts to describe specific technical operations is a hooligan behavior.

But if you completely put aside physiological actions, how are the emotions in the lines shaped?

stress?

Rise and stutter?

Logical intermission?

Psychological Interval?

Is there any other way to shape it?

A word suddenly appeared in Xu Rong's mind.

purely.

This is what Lan Yingying said about him just now.

But at this moment, this word is like a lighthouse that suddenly lit up in the darkness.

some!

some!!

some!!!

He thought of the "back of the head" of the Cheng school, a way of using breath through cross-sections.

Are there any other directions to use "qi" to move?

In other words, isn’t Qi itself a carrier of emotions, and there is no need to make trouble in “voice”?

For example, the "stealing air" in opera means to quickly inhale a little breath, and it should be light and fast without leaving any trace. This simple use of qi certainly cannot increase the emotional effect of "qi", but it is not lost as a direction, because the technique of stolen air has the effect of making the "meaning" of the lines coherent.

Breathing is the most basic way of running qi, and it is also the easiest feature of qi to adjust. Of course, it is also the most obvious way to achieve it, such as inhaling deeply and exhale slowly?

That is, take a deep breath, control the core power, and push the lines bit by bit. What will this give the audience a feeling?

On the other hand, if you take a deep breath and exhale quickly, what kind of feeling will the audience give?

What about speeding up the gas?

Slow down the speed of running?

What about holding your breath?

What about lifting your breath?

At some point, Xu Rong stopped the increasingly active thoughts in his mind, and he felt that he had moved from one extreme to another.

The adjustment of qi must also match the corresponding vocalization method. If you take a deep breath and exhale quickly, you cannot "express the limit". If you can only pronounce "g", then you can only make a vocalization at the highest level, because once you reach the limit, the sound will appear hoarse.

There are three resonances, which is also one of the ways to shape qi

Xu Rong sat on the chair and felt that the whole world had completely quieted down. His thoughts had never been active before. The techniques, techniques and theories accumulated over the years finally burst out with the most shining sparks after a fierce collision with traditional opera.

Lan Yingying's "criticism" just now kicked him into the door of a new world by accident.

At this time, he was already standing in this new world. When he improved this qi and voice system, for film and television actors, based on the theory of "harmony", this system should basically be completed by one-fifth to one-third, and for voice actors, a new system has been formed.

"Xu Rong?"

"Xu Rong?"

"Xu Rong?"

Ren Ming reached out and shook his hand in front of Xu Rong and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Xu Rong opened her mouth, paused for three or four seconds before opening her mouth and asking, "I want to say it."

Ren Ming frowned slowly. He always felt that Xu Rong was in a very strange state, just like losing his soul, and his speech was even more inconsistent. Especially the three words "what to say" were like a person was greatly stimulated, causing his thinking to fall into a stagnation.

But his eyes were very bright, without any distraction.

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound from his mouth. When he said the three words "What do you want to say?", he held his breath on his chest. The airflow slowly moved with the words "think" and "say", and when it reached the word "thing", it was even a little slower.

He originally wanted to express his "confused" emotions through his breath, but he seemed to have used the wrong method.

However, he had roughly guessed how to use it.

After looking at Ren Ming for three seconds, a bright smile slowly appeared on his face. When Ren Ming was caught off guard, he suddenly stood up, turned around and ran out of the rehearsal hall.

He needs to record his thoughts just now, and then verify, expand and correct them one by one.

"Bang." The door of the rehearsal hall hit the wall heavily, making a muffled sound.

"Hahaha."
