Full-time actor

Chapter 176 [3] Semester drama, now compiled!

"Damn it, big brother is here!"

Yang Shuo was the first to shout when he saw Chen Yu walking into the performance class classroom; then everyone looked at Chen Yu who walked in, with a look of joy on everyone's face.

After all, the man in front of him can be said to be the most amazing man in the entire 02-level performance department of China National Theater.

After all, Liu Yifei still attended classes for many days, but this guy was better off. How many days did he attend, one day, or... two days?

Not only did he excel in the key assessment, the teacher also liked it very much.

Others who attended class every day were even caught and scolded by Liu Tianchi.

Is there still heavenly law or royal law?

A person who attends class seriously every day is worse than a person who skips class. The key is that he is still the monitor!

"What drama did you choose?"

When Chen Yu came in, everyone had not started class yet. Next was Chang Li's acting skills class.

"People from the Imperial City!"

Tongyao walked to Chen Yu's side, and many people gathered around him.

"Isn't this unpopular?"

"People from the Imperial City" is the masterpiece of Cao Yu, a leading figure in the drama industry and the Shakespeare of the East.

"Thunderstorm" is his most famous drama. It is known as the cornerstone of realism in Chinese drama and No. 1 among dramas!

"This was just chosen!"

"There are more characters to choose from!"

Nursery Rhyme was a little helpless. She really wanted to arrange a play that could accommodate 30 people. She thought about it but couldn't think of a good one.

"No, just do 2 movies!"

"A group of 15 people..."

Chen Yu looked at the crowd and said, "Why do you have to worry about one piece?"

"That's what I said, but it's not easy to choose two plays that are almost the same!"

Tong Yao said helplessly.

Dramas are famous.

No one wants to perform in a well-known play; if it is an unpopular play, then they definitely want to perform well. This is something that every student wants to strive for.

"Then draw lots, whatever you catch is..."

"..."

The nursery rhymes stopped talking.

If we were to draw lots, what would she do if she caught someone with only one line?

This is something no one wants.

"No, how were the previous semester dramas arranged?"

This won't work, and that won't work either. You have to come up with a plan that works, right?

"uh-huh!"

Wen Zhang coughed tactically at this time. He was the literary and art committee member. He said to Chen Yu: "We have also asked. In the previous big exams, we almost had to arrange several plays, and then everyone chose the one they liked or were best at, and then chose Role!"

"This is possible too!"

This plan is actually quite good. There are about 7-10 people in one play, and the lines and characters are very distinct. For 4-5 such plays, all 30 people are available.

There is no need to worry about who has fewer lines and more. They all have the opportunity to show their faces and test their acting skills.

"Why not choose this?"

“Senior’s successful experience!”

Chen Yu asked several class cadres, and everyone suddenly fell silent.

Chen Yu didn't understand. What were the expressions of these guys?

It was Liu Yifei who was bolder and said: "The main thing is you, what do you choose?"

"You were not here before..."

"I?"

Chen Yu didn't expect that the problem also came from himself: "I can do whatever I want. You have chosen the drama, and I will choose-"

understood!

Everyone wants to line up with themselves.

His acting skills are good, and even if others can't catch up, the teachers will pay special attention to it. This is a bonus; if he performs well, his score will most likely be higher... This is just like a bad drama. Just like a well-known actor, the audience will watch this actor.

It's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, it depends on what kind of phoenix tail it is.

The drama chosen by Chen Yu only has seven or eight characters, and even if it has 3-4 lines, in the eyes of many students, it is better than the protagonists of other dramas.

Maybe their ideas are naive, but they are indeed very realistic.

This is a subconscious reaction of many people. It would be much better to be in a group with Chen Yu; more importantly, many people know the sketch "Not Short of Money" that Chen Yu rehearsed during the art exam.

Liu Yifei and Yang Shuo relied on him to get high scores.

Do you think Liu Yifei had acting skills at that time?

No!

But the role is quite suitable, and Liu Yifei plays very well, which is a boost.

If Chen Yu writes his own script this semester for the big exam, or re-arranges the part of the art exam, wouldn't they benefit from it?

It can only be said that none of the students who are admitted to the Chinese Theater Academy are simple. Everyone has a little bit of Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, but Tong Yao and others are still too young and too thin-skinned to dare to tell Chen Yu face to face.

"Let me think about it, let's go to class first!"

Chen Yu had already seen Chang Li walking in, and everyone immediately found their seats, waiting for the "performance skills course" to begin.

Performance courses are generally open classes, where you stand or sit on the edge to listen to lectures. It requires a specific environment to sit on a chair. Sitting on the floor is the norm.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were next to each other, with nursery rhymes playing next to them.

Outstanding students in the performance department are good at this, and they are especially popular among boys and girls. However, Tongyao and Liu Yifei are surrounded by Bai Baihe and Tang Yan, so Chen Yu feels like a little red among thousands of flowers.

"The meaning of the nursery rhyme at the beginning is that you slightly arranged and arranged the song "Not Short of Money" from the art test, and then turned it into a script for ten people..."

Liu Yifei whispered in Chen Yu's ear, her mouth almost touching the base of his ear, making Chen Yu's ears feel warm and slightly itchy.

"Isn't this offensive?"

Chen Yu wouldn't do such stupid things.

Among ten people, apart from her and Liu Yifei, who would be the best choice?

Those who were not selected must hate him to death?

Besides, Chen Yu didn't have the ability to turn a sketch with four people into 10 people.

“That’s why the nursery rhyme was not told anymore!”

"I also feel very bad, so everyone came up with a script that can accommodate 30 people!"

"30 people...and still take care of everything?"

Chen Yu thought for a moment, and it seemed that there really wasn't such an awesome script.

"There aren't that many characters in "Emperor", either?"

"How about..."Teahouse"?"

"Tea House" has many characters, but... there are only a few that stand out.

"Think again, if it doesn't work, we can only draw lots to divide the script!"

This is the final bottom line that Liu Yifei came up with after discussing with Tongyao, which is to prepare 3-4 drama scripts, then let several class cadres draw them, and then arrange their classmates to perform them.

But this is also very troublesome to operate.

"Forget it, I'll do it!"

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Yu finally thought of a suitable notebook.

"You have thought of it, which one?"

"I write it myself!"

Chen Yu said lightly, but Liu Yifei glanced at him fiercely.

"Adaptation, not original!"

Chen Yu saw her look of disbelief and quickly explained. "That's awesome. Is it a movie adaptation?"

Liu Yifei knew Chen Yu's strength, so she wasn't too surprised.

"The novel, "White Deer Plain", have you read it?"

"..."

Liu Yifei shook her head. She had never seen it or heard of it.

The current reputation of "White Deer Plain" is obviously not very good. It will not become a well-known and well-known novel until it is adapted into a movie or even a TV series. Now it is probably only known to some literature lovers.

But it is definitely much more famous than "The Divine Tree" and "A World Without Thieves".

After all, this is the winning work of the Mao Dun Literature Award.

Chen Yu had watched the play "White Deer Plain" in his previous life. It was considered a masterpiece by the Imperial People's Art Theater.

It premiered in 06 and has since become one of Renyi's classic plays, with sold-out performances.

This play was adapted by Meng Bin, the head of the General Political Repertory Theater, a top domestic drama screenwriter and the second-in-command of the Drama Association; the director is even more powerful, Lin Zhaohua, the director of Peking University’s Drama Research Institute and the deputy dean of Imperial People’s Art!

Not to mention the starring cast.

I still remember the general plot of Chen Yu, but I have to read the original work.

He believed that he was definitely not as good as the two above, but it was better than the arrangement. The advantage of the reborn person was that he had seen the complete plot. This would save Chen Yu a lot of effort in revising and revising.

Because it was compiled, it must be the most beautiful and smooth version after countless revisions. Chen Yu only needed to add lines on this basis.

When it comes to movies and TV series, Chen Yu absolutely cannot write his lines.

However, dramas are different; many dramas are adapted from novels, and there are a lot of lines in the novels.

The difficulty in adapting a play is not the lines, but the actions, events and rhythm.

Various conflicts and expectations that can keep the audience immersed in it.

In addition to the acting skills of the actors, this must also be supported by the main events of the script.

One thing, the conflict of contradictions, is the rhythm that the audience wants to watch.

And these, in the mind of Chen Yu, who has watched the play "White Deer Plain" several times, are the easiest to present.

"Chen Yu!"

Chang Li's sudden shout made Chen Yu raise his head suddenly.

"Close your eyes and stand on one foot in place!"

"..."

Chen Yu immediately followed suit.

"What is 37 times 9?"

"3, 33, ... , !"

After Chen Yu calculated in his mind for a few seconds, he answered. Chang Li called out to another student: "Li Zefeng, you are just like Chen Yu!"

Li Zefeng immediately stood on one foot with his eyes closed.

“123 times 2 equals—”

pat!

Li Zefeng immediately became unstable and fell down.

"See the difference?"

Chang Li asked Chen Yu and Li Zefeng to sit down again: "When I ask you to stand on one foot and close your eyes, your muscles are very tense for a moment; if you think about other things at this time, you will easily be unable to do it. good!"

"But Chen Yu, why didn't you fall?"

Chang Li walked to the middle of the crowd: "Because after he stood on one foot and closed his eyes, his body naturally relaxed!"

"This is a technique in acting - muscle relaxation!"

"Many times, when you are doing other things, someone suddenly asks you a question, and you have to wait until you relax your muscles before you start to recall and answer!"

"This proves that muscle tension will affect people's inner activities. It will prompt people to focus on the body and not be able to focus on mental activities!"

"This is a taboo in performance..."

Chang Li's performance skills class was very vivid and vivid, and Chen Yu listened very carefully.

The one-and-a-half-hour course ended without me noticing.

"Okay, get out of class is over!"

"Everyone can practice the content of this class regardless of anything. The performance should relax the muscles of the whole body, and present various tense details during the performance. The face is tense, the arms are tense... and you can skillfully control the muscles of the whole body. This is all It’s the skill of acting!”

Nervousness makes it difficult for an actor to be a good actor, but how do actors get nervous when performing sometimes?

This is the content of Chang Li's lesson, loosen first, then tighten; instead of being tense, you can act nervous. The tension in the arms may be a manifestation of emotion; the tension in the eyelids is sleepiness...the tension in the cheeks , just afraid.

Muscles can express human emotions. A great actor can freely contract and relax the muscles of his whole body.

Be nervous if you want to be nervous, relax if you want to be relaxed.

Except for Chen Yu, it is estimated that no one else in the class can do this.

This is the importance of students in majors. There is a threshold for performance, and it also requires constant practice, improvement of skills, and mastery of the body.

Not just anyone can act and be an actor.

"Have you chosen your semester drama?"

Chang Li asked suddenly, and many people in the class fell silent.

"Class 2 and Class 3 are already lining up, you have to hurry up!"

When Chang Li saw this, she knew that the first class had not been selected yet, mainly because Chen Yu was not here, so it would be difficult to rehearse because there was one less person.

"Chen Yu, please hurry up these days, you have to work with everyone to take care of it!"

"It's only a few days away!"

"Okay, Teacher Chang, I will think about it with them!"

Chen Yu also knew that his absence had indeed delayed some progress.

"Well, I'm...looking forward to your class!"

Chang Li looked at Chen Yu and others with a smile, causing everyone to shout: "It's not a good thing to be too good. Do you think there's pressure on Class 2 and Class 3?"

Absolutely not.

If you lose, that's normal; if you win, you earn nothing.

It's not like Class 1. If they lose to Class 2 or Class 3, Liu Tianchi will have to scold each of them for a semester.

This is definitely not a joke. As we all know, Class 02 of the Acting Department was the most outstanding class in the history of Chinese opera.

At least that's what the Chinese drama promotes to the outside world.

After Chang Li left, Tongyao and others immediately came up to Chen Yu with nervous expressions on their faces.

"What's up, brother, have you thought of it?"

"No, let's go to the library to look up scripts..."

Everyone seems very depressed!

Chen Yu thought for a while, and then said: "That's almost it. That's it. Each of you will go to the bookstore immediately and buy a book called "White Deer Plain". Let me read it today!"

"Give me a day and I'll write the script!"

"???"

What the hell?

Everyone looked at Chen Yu dumbfounded.

Not the eldest brother?

You...you mean, take a ready-made novel and adapt it into a drama script in one day?

"Is this... so awesome?"

Wen Zhang opened his mouth and looked at Chen Yu.

He thought that Chen Yu was a dick, but he didn't expect that he was actually such a dick!

Now compiled?

Only one day?

Aren’t the teachers in the screenwriting department as awesome as you?
