I'm just an actor

Chapter 336 Obscure
Xu Rong sat behind the monitor and didn't leave again, 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 in a hurry and puts down the pick, he may not turn around. Easy to explain.

He glanced at Huang Yi who was muttering next to Sun Honglei, raised his brows lightly, and looked away again, saying: "Director Du, what happened just now, you turn around and say hello to everyone in each group, and no one is in charge." Give 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 didn't know anything about it, 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.

He couldn't bring up this topic again, but turned his head and asked, "What kind of state do you want him to present?"

He was actually quite curious about Du Qifeng's specific requirements for Sun Honglei.

Du Qifeng crossed his arms, scratched his chin, and said, "I can't say the specifics, but it's the kind of leader who can tell at a glance whether he is the leader or the leader who is upright when he stands in a group of people."

After a few seconds, after Xu Rong understood what he meant, he recalled the people's guards he had seen. He could feel that the other party was indeed very imposing, but what he was not sure about was that if they changed clothes , whether it can make people feel righteous at a glance, I'm afraid it's hard to say.

"Ah Choo."

The sneeze of Zheng Zhaoqiang next to him pulled him out of his thoughts, and at this time, the recorder had already stood in his position, ready to start the machine at any time.

"action!"

Looking at Sun Honglei, who was striding forward with handsome lines on the monitor, Xu Rong suddenly understood that the root cause of the dispute between him and Du Qifeng had come to light.

The outstanding feature of Sun Honglei's performance style is the use of expressions. Other aspects, especially the ability to express body, are relatively behind. Once it comes to the "feeling" that Du Qifeng can't describe in detail, he will be helpless.

However, the short board of the body is not a problem of Sun Honglei alone, but a common problem faced by all colleges and universities in Chinese performance teaching, because film and television performances do not need too strong physical expressiveness, and as time goes by, it will lead to various colleges and universities. The degree of attention is generally 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 and the role match, that is, the actor's true colors. However, under normal circumstances, unless it is a role tailored for the actor, there must be negation a certain distance.

Zhang Lei is an extremely firm guard of the people, while Sun Honglei was scolded and crying by Du Qifeng just now.

The second way is to turn yourself into a character, but after all, Sun Honglei can't go deep into the frontline guards and experience their work and living conditions, which will inevitably lead to the lack of internal 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.

Sun Honglei was able to find himself inside, he must have communicated with the guards, but his current presentation method is still imitation, without the process of going from the outside to the inside and then from the inside to the outside, so he completely lost the spiritual outlook that the character should have .

After the first shot, Du Qifeng handed the earphones to Xu Rong and said, "Listen."

Xu Rong had already seen it clearly, and didn't need to listen to the lines at all. He waved his hand and said, "I know what's going on."

Du Qifeng, You Naihai, and Zheng Zhaoqiang turned their heads and looked at him: "What's going on?"

Xu Rong got up, patted his buttocks, and said: "I guess you guys don't understand after I said it, I'll talk to him, let's shoot other scenes first, his fastest will be in the afternoon."

You Naihai still smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, that's not necessarily the case. We've been in this business for decades."

Xu Rong carefully distinguished for a few seconds before he understood what he meant. Turning around, he looked at him and said, "The drama is fake, but the people are real. So, Teacher You, do you understand?"

You Naihai laughed awkwardly, and said vaguely: "Understand a little, understand a little."

Xu Rong also smiled, but didn't ask, because he was sure that You Naihai had no idea what he was talking about.

He walked over to Sun Honglei, and said, "Brother Honglei, let's go, find a place to smoke a cigarette?"

After the first shot, Sun Honglei didn't hear any expression from Du Qifeng. In fact, he already knew that he still hadn't met the other party's requirements, but because Xu Rong was sitting next to him, he didn't get angry on the spot.

"Where?"

Xu Rongshen pointed to the roof of the building and said, "Let's see if you can go up to the roof?"

"Row."

Facts proved that Xu Rong was thinking too much. He looked at the big solid iron door locked above the stairs. He leaned against the wall and watched Sun Honglei take out the cigarette and the lighter in silence.

I want to say a lot, but I don't know how to say it for a while.

Sun Honglei clicked on it, and said muffledly, "Thank you."

Xu Rong said with a smile: "When I was first filming, I was often scolded, and I was very angry every time, but at that time I wanted to make money, and when people scolded me, I had to listen and endure. Later, more and more people scolded me. Not many, but even some words that are much lighter than before and not very pleasant to hear make me feel more uncomfortable than when people scolded me before, but most of the time, I have not responded to them in person, because I It is very clear that many of the things I do are to prevent people from scolding me, at least, not to scold me in front of my face."

Xu Rong only said this and stopped there. No matter in the past or now, when someone said something that made him uncomfortable, he rarely "returned" it through words, because it didn't have any substantive meaning.

Sun Honglei took out a tissue, wiped the armrest, leaned up, and said, "So, that's why you entered Renyi?"

Xu Rong shook his head and said, "That's not true. When I first entered Renyi, I actually wanted to challenge "Tea House" and see if I could perform better than Teacher Yu."

"Cough cough cough."

Sun Honglei didn't take a breath, coughed a few times, and quickly flapped his hands in front of his nose.

"Why are you going to Mandarin again?" Xu Rong saw that he had coughed for a while and then stamped out the cigarette butt, walked over, took out toilet paper from his pocket, took out a piece, and put it on the steps, just like that Sit with legs apart.

Sun Honglei said with a smile: "Back against a big tree to enjoy the shade."

"Mandarin is not a big tree."

"It doesn't count for you, but it counts for me."

Listening to the sigh in his tone, Xu Rong said, "Let's not talk about that, which Chinese opera class are you from?"

Sun Honglei looked at him in surprise: "Why do you ask this? I am from the class of '94."

Xu Rong nodded and said: "I remember that time, there was a teacher in the acting department named Zhu Tong, do you have any impression?"

Sun Honglei thought for a while, then slowly shook his head twice, and said, "I haven't heard of this teacher before, so he probably doesn't have much level, right?!"

Xu Rong rolled his 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've never heard of this person."

The teacher-student relationship is a very wonderful relationship, because many teachers suddenly and inexplicably become successful one day, and even reach a height that he himself has never imagined. For example, a certain teacher at Fudan University back then, his favorite And students who are in constant contact will naturally rise as the tide rises.

But what Xu Rong wanted to tell Sun Honglei was not this, and said: "During the time he was teaching in Chinese opera, his method of liberating nature training was very special. There is no second example in China. The general situation is like this. After the students' basic warm-up Afterwards, all the people stood in a random formation in the performance hall, and then he would start to play pre-arranged music, including lyrical, intense, bleak, and various emotional colors. While playing music, He would prescribe various situations for the students, such as: We are going on an outing, what food did we bring? Does anyone want to sing something? Everyone is in a good mood, and so on.

"Students have to perform according to his password. At a certain moment, the music will suddenly change, such as the sound of lightning and thunder, and the password will also become: It’s raining! It’s windy! Hail is coming! Typhoon is coming! Wait, and then as the music intensifies, the password will also be strengthened little by little, until the scene is over, and it is 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 brain-dead training method, even his students don't understand it, but he taught He Yan, Hu Hu Jun, Xu Fan, Chen Xiaoyi, Jiang Shan, Wang Ban and others."

Sun Honglei's mouth opened slowly, and when the string of names came out, he knew that the training method of liberating nature that Xu Rong said must have its own uniqueness, so he asked, "Why?"

Xu Rong's expression became a little serious, and he said: "I talked to him about this a while ago, and he gave an analogy, a sprinter usually needs to run 14 meters in 100 seconds in training, but during the competition, he If you find out that you can win the championship as long as you can control it within 20 seconds, do you still feel that you have more energy and less energy during the game?"

Sun Honglei stared blankly at Xu Rong, and after a long while, he asked, "Why, you would know about this. You were still in elementary school at that time, right?"

Xu Rong shrugged his shoulders, and said, "That's how He Yan guides newcomers in the courtyard."

Sun Honglei understood what Xu Rong said about the training method in such detail, so he didn't say thank you any more, sat next to him, and said: "I always heard that you Renyi has its own drama system or performance system. , but I found that each of you has a completely different style, what exactly is your human art system?"

Xu Rong thought for a while, and said: "Actually, you can also say it is a system, but I think it is a mechanism, a protection mechanism."

"protection mechanism?"

"Yes, it's a protection mechanism. An art group thrives for one year, it's luck, and it thrives for ten years, it's skill. But if it wants to prosper for a hundred years, it's not just luck and skill. Don't you wonder why? After 60 years, Renyi is still an art group with the highest box office and word-of-mouth among theaters?"

Facing Sun Honglei's doubts, Xu Rong continued: "The cultures of society are always colliding and communicating. The thoughts of 60 years ago and today's thoughts cannot be said to be completely different, but they are very different after all. However, the external manifestations of life are different. Common points, and this mechanism of Renyi is to teach actors to find and amplify these common points, 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 doing anything, just like watching a play requires a basic understanding of the hypothetical nature of the play. There are also some plays with a relatively high threshold in literature, such as Existential drama, some audiences have not been exposed to such works, but no matter what kind of audience, one sentence can solve the problem, what is the entertainment of this drama?"

Xu Rong spread his hands and said, "I'm an audience. I don't care what subject you are, whether it's drama or film and television. What's the entertainment for me? I'm not comfortable spending money, am I in a hurry?"

Sun Honglei immediately said: "But entertainment can also be divided into high-level spiritual entertainment and low-level vulgar entertainment."

Xu Rong smiled and said: "Let me give you an example. An old farmer who didn't know a lot of characters entered the temple. He had never read Buddhist scriptures, but when he faced the solemn and sacred Buddha statues, he would definitely be able to feel that it was sacred. To feel the cleanliness and tranquility at that moment, as actors, we should pursue a similar state. For example, in the scene of throwing paper money in "Tea House", paper money is flying in the air all over the sky. You may not be able to understand what the words are. But at that moment, a child as young as two years old, or an old man as old as 80, will have some indescribable feeling in his heart, this is our pursuit, but it is also a protection mechanism for the audience."

Listening to Xu Rong's slow talk, Sun Honglei always had the feeling that his studies were all for nothing, because he had never heard of the "existential drama" Xu Rong said, maybe he had heard of it, but he had forgotten it long ago. clean.

But it was not until today that he finally understood what the mysterious "Human Art Drama System" that was rumored by the outside world was.

A performance methodology grounded in real life.

He vaguely felt that Xu Rong was going to tell himself something through those words before, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Xu Rong waited for a while, seeing that the cigarette in Sun Honglei's hand was about to burn out, and said, "Actually, you will be liberated when you overthrow what you think is 'truth'."

This is Xu Rong's practical application method based on his own "experience life theory". A piece of scenery, a kind of aesthetic, those are unreliable.

Instead, it should come from the truth in his heart.

Seeing the dazed look on Sun Honglei's face gradually, Xu Rong was also very excited. Sun Honglei's age is still in the period of explosive talent. Years later, he grew to the level of Chen Baoguo and Li Xuejian.

Otherwise, it would be too boring.
