Chapter 473 Benefits(1/2)
Author: I'm Red
Xu Rong pinched the eye shadow brush and sat steadily on the stool, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face in the mirror.
After learning Peking Opera, he learned that the tradition of the actors of the People's Art Theater's Art Theater's makeup comes from traditional opera. Because there is no internal skills such as experience, emotional memory, emotional substitution, etc., he can only rely on external means to find the status of the characters. The actors and directors of the People's Art Theater are either from Peking Opera actors or have some knowledge of them, and this habit is naturally preserved.
At this time, Xu Rong had doubts about this auxiliary method.
Inexplicably, a western hole with a thin face, messy hair and sunken eye socket suddenly appeared in his mind.
Antonan Alto.
One of the directors and drama theorists who have the most profound influence on contemporary theaters.
He used to be extremely unaware of Aalto's theatrical philosophy. After reading Aalto's works, he strongly suspected that the theatre theorist who was addicted to drug use and suffering from schizophrenia might not have known what he was thinking and doing during his lifetime.
Alto's concept is extremely loose and even metaphysical. On the one hand, he emphasized that drama should get rid of various social significances given by man, break various rules and regulations, and move towards a certain mystery and unknown. On the other hand, he insisted that actors should always maintain accuracy in their actions and extremely opposed improvisation.
At this time, holding the eye shadow brush, Xu Rong seemed to understand the concept that Alto wanted to express.
Taking eye shadow as an example, in film and television and drama performances, drawing eye shadow is an extremely convenient shortcut. If an actor plays a villain, his eyes, body and language expression ability cannot express his "villain", then painting purple and black eyeshadows or lipstick can make up for it to a large extent.
But this is exactly contrary to the root cause of the birth of performance. On the one hand, this performance method is closer to the rules and meaning (villain). On the other hand, because of the replacement of actor performance with eyeshadow, the actors can relax or even act as they wish.
Currently, both the Eastern and Western drama circles agree with the saying that dramatic performance originated from ancient sacrificial sacrifices.
In the end, Xu Rong put down his eyeshadow brush, which was slightly different from Aalto's philosophy. The idea he put down his eyeshadow brush was not Alto's "return to pure ritual", but borrowed from Grotowsky's view of "unlimited potential of the body", but was different from the two. He still believed that whether it was "return" or "potential", all external presentation must be under "control".
Since he entered Beijing Film Academy, he has been influenced by the performance style of the People's Art Theater. Even though he has broken out of the barriers of the People's Art Theater system, he has not completely broken the yardstick of realism. The purpose of the performance is to guide the audience to think about what is common or uncommon in life.
Just like he always hoped that the screenwriters in the institute could write a script that truly reflects the current problems of education, medical care, housing, and elderly care. However, for Alto, such a drama is meaningless.
At six:50, Xu Rong walked out of the dressing room in a long gown and came to the backstage entrance.
There were some young actors standing up at some point in the side curtain. At this time, they looked at Xu Rong who was walking slowly in long gowns, with different expressions, but no one made a sound.
Song Yi, who was quietly pushing back, suddenly stopped the body of the pupa. She vaguely felt that she seemed to step on one foot, but she didn't seem to step on it.
The reason why she couldn't be completely sure was that she could not hear someone around her making "ah" or "ah" sounds symbolizing pain.
Lei Jia, who was standing behind Song Yi, gritted her teeth and held her anger in her mouth.
The little girl is not tall and quite heavy!
In front of them, a thin figure with a silencer effect stood, Feng Yuanzheng.
In the first meeting after Xu Rong took office, the actor team management concept was put forward: "Selecting cadres from the backbone and cultivating backbone from the backbone".
For Song Yi and Xiao Zhang, this is just a pure nonsense, which is no different from "adhering to the tradition of the People's Arts and continuing to write new glory".
But for those who are more sensitive, the meaning of their expression is more complicated. Translated into vernacular means: the actors now have two empty editors, one boss and one deck, and everyone has the chance.
The result is that Feng Yuanzheng fully assisted Yang Lixin in charge of the management of the actors.
Compared to "Drug War", which is not available on hot searches, actors from the People's Art Theater, especially young actors, are looking forward to today's "Thunderstorm" performance.
"Thunderstorm" is the work of the old dean to establish his status as a master, and today's performance is also Xu Rong's first performance after receiving the title of a master.
Works in collaboration between two masters in the twentieth and twentieth centuries.
When Xu Rong approached, Pu Cunxi keenly noticed the difference in Xu Rong's body. His hair was still neatly combed, and there was no wrinkle on his long gown, but the makeup on his face became much lighter.
When Xu Rong arrived, he whispered earnestly: "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. You have to eat rice one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step."
He guessed that Xu Rong's purpose of doing this was to reduce prop assistance and increase his expressiveness on his body, eyes, and language to achieve the same effect.
"I'm just doing an experiment."
Xu Rong saw Pu Cunxi's face tense when he heard his words, and said first: "I want to criticize you. Are you an actor in the Sri Lanka system still in the mood to care about something else at this time?"
"I went up to draw shrimps, you are acting shrimps!"
"What a fool!" Pu Cunxi was choked and shook his head helplessly. He didn't realize immediately that Xu Rong was no longer an actor in the Sri Lanka system, and instinctively wanted to correct his attitude.
"You are painting the shrimp in your heart, and I am painting the real shrimp."
Pu Cunxi explained like a snake, and of course he could understand Xu Rong's joke, but the young people around him might not understand it.
It’s nothing if you don’t understand it, but you’re afraid that you will understand it and take it as real.
Xu Rong is now the vice president of the two academies and is a leader in the rising film and television industry in the mainland. Not to mention that he is busy all day long, even in the academy, except for a few familiar with him, he may not dare to ask for advice. Once a wrong understanding is formed because of his joke, he may have to pay an incalculable price.
When Xu Rong heard this, he looked at Pu Cunxi's serious face and nodded thoughtfully. Although the outside world gave him the name of a master, he never felt that he was a master, and he had never considered his own influence on the surroundings.
It was not until this time that he suddenly realized that today is different from the past. His words and deeds in performance may be heard by others and regarded as the standard. Perhaps his joke will mislead others astray and waste many years of time.
He turned his head and said to the actor beside him: "I was joking with Puyuan just now, don't take it seriously."
Seeing that Song Yi and Yuan Yu were actually cat-studded among the crowd, a hint of comfort rose inexplicably.
Song Yi is good at everything, down-to-earth and obedient, but he is not very smart. Yuan Yu is just the opposite. He is smart, transparent, and has a very good talent, but he is not very down-to-earth.
In fact, there were no cats on both of them. Perhaps Song Yi was too short. Among the group of people, he only showed his pointed head, as if he had squatted down on purpose.
Song Yi looked at Xu Rong's encouraging gaze and almost called him a question mark on his forehead. Did he not notice that he pushed the door and went in at all?
After getting along for a long time, she also understood Teacher Xu's temper. When speaking to others, he might have to divide it into two or three meanings, but he has always been honest with himself and never hides it. He is nothing, and never mixes with even a little voice-over.
At this time, the young people standing behind Feng Yuanzheng suddenly burst into great interest in Xu Rong's performance system.
This is so awesome. I’m about to go on stage, and I don’t even have to be in a state of contemplation.
Feng Yuan was listening to the sudden messy breathing behind him, forcibly suppressing the urge to criticize.
After all, Xu Rong was the premiere today. He didn't know whether he was good or bad. If he failed, he would be more harsh in the face.
With Zhang Wankun, who plays Lu Gui and Xin Yue, who plays Sifeng, appearing on the stage, the side curtain strips are completely quiet, without even a trace of noise.
"Sifeng!"
"Sifeng!"
"Drink, it's so hot."
"."
Xu Rong didn't look at the stage, but just frowned slightly after listening to each of them.
Compared with last year, Zhang Wankun and Xin Yue have not made any progress in their respective roles, and they have not even made any progress at all.
This is unreasonable for an actor who recreates the play.
After learning Peking Opera, especially the glamorous faces of the sing and workmanship, he gradually realized the commonalities between drama and opera.
Or the commonalities of stage art.
Just as Shang Changrong said, the audience will be willing to watch the number of times a play can be practiced.
Even if Mei Lanfang is as talented as hers, his skill in plays is limited, and even among his main representative works, there are selections that are both good at and not so good at.
"How many times to practice" is of course not the purpose. Its purpose is to make every word, every word, and every action reach the point where it is most suitable for the situation and the actors, so that the audience can feel the beauty of art in every sentence and every action of the character.
When Yu Zhen, who played Lu Dahai, came on stage, Xu Rong's eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened.
What are Yu Zhen and Xin Yue doing?!
Originally, he was doing well, why did Yu Zhenyi not know how to act anymore?
What a good brother and sister were actually played by the two of them like a couple?
He glanced at Yu Mingjia, who was looking at him in confusion, and took a breath of air conditioning through the gap between his teeth.
There was a problem with the two main actors at the same time, and this scene is not easy to act.
"If they want to act, I will accompany them to act and see who will laugh to the end!"
Cai Yuexun looked at the mockery of "The Rogue Hero" caused by the surge in Douban scores on the Internet due to "Drug War", and sneered silently while holding the rosary.
He never expected that the publisher of "Drug War" would be so despicable, and he hired the navy to win Douban scores, and then used this to suppress the opponent and raise himself.
It is obvious that only state officials are allowed to set fires and not allow the people to light the lights. He used to be a satirizing "Drug War" and "Painted Skin 2" for excessive marketing and was warned by China Film. Now "Drug War" is going to make a fuss, but nothing is wrong.
Since "Drug War" begins first, we can't blame him for being unethical. He is likely to be finished when he goes north this time, but no one can think of a good life before he gets finished!
When Cai was struggling in the film and television industry, how many people in China who really understand movies?
Yu Xiaohui looked at her husband's indignation and wanted to speak but stopped.
Yesterday she took the time to watch "Drug War" and "Painted Skin 2".
After all, locking the field is not a long-term solution, and the box office of "The Hero of the Rogue" rose to 6 million the next day is a good signal.
Only by knowing yourself and others can you adopt reasonable strategies.
What shocked her was not the film "Drug War" and "Painted Skin 2" itself, but the audience's enthusiasm for the two movies.
On the way back yesterday, she had been thinking about how to persuade her husband to lock the scene.
It is true that locking the market is a low-cost and high-reward method to boost the box office. Some viewers cannot buy tickets for "Drug War" and "Painted Skin 2", and will choose to watch "The Hero of the Rogue", but more people choose to leave.
If the audience's enthusiasm is not satisfied, it will turn into the cinema's resentment and even anger.
Without damaging the interests of the theater, the theater does not care whether it is locked or not. However, once it touches the most core interests, no matter how good the temper is, people with sharp fangs will be exposed.
She grew up in Taiwan and also knew the proverb "Shut down people's wealth is like killing parents."
