56. Take the kidney or the heart?
The actor who plays Gong Siyuan is named Cheng Ying. He graduated from the Shanghai Theater Performance Department. He looks younger, but in fact he is five or six years older than Xia Yuan.
Many actors nowadays only start to show off their talents after they are 30 years old, and they are still called Xiaohua at the age of 27 or 28.
Afterwards, Gong Siyuan drank hot water while guiding Xia Yuan in acting skills.
Although Cheng Ying was indeed a little angry because Xia Yuan was unable to get into the show for a long time, and it was delayed by everyone's time, but she was very friendly in private.
"In fact, acting is not that difficult," Cheng Ying smiled at Xia Yuan. "For us, acting can be achieved with skills, but the real kung fu performances you do cannot do without time and talent. This is why there are so many actors but few real kung fu superstars."
"Seeking guidance." Xia Yuan said.
"We dare not guide, let's make progress together and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses. You have your strengths and I have my weaknesses. We just make up for each other and learn from each other."
"Then what should I do?" Xia Yuan frowned. To be honest, he didn't want to drag everyone down in future performances.
"Your strengths are external, and fighting scenes require manifestation, but performances are internal and you need depth." Cheng Ying's eyes circulate and smiled, "I dare not say that they must be more talented than you in performance, but at least my depth is deeper than you.
It is difficult for you to understand depth estimation now, but I can teach you some methods."
"What method?" Xia Yuan asked in confusion.
"Although the depth of the experience varies and the creation of each character is different, human emotions are generally common." Cheng Ying said, "Everyone has joy, anger, sorrow, joy, joy, and separation. Take grief as an example. For example, in the play, you may have a dead wife, but what should you do if you don't have a wife? You can transfer similar emotions here.
For example, when you are performing, you can think of the pet dog that died at home when you were a child, or the very good friends around you suffered misfortune... Although it is completely different from a dead wife, you can mobilize your sadness, and the audience cannot see your heart through the screen.
When you show grief, they have no idea whether you are sad because your wife has died, or because you have just had hemorrhoids, and just sat in a bad chair, and the chrysanthemums are cracking and they are sad."
"Oh, I get it."
Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, Xia Yuan immediately realized.
He nodded seriously, "That is to say, the audience cannot distinguish the reasons. They can only see appearances, but people's emotions are the same, so we can call the corresponding emotions to express them, right?"
"Yes, if you cry, you should use uncomfortable things and experiences to express it. If you laugh, you should think about happy things. This is how to perform with the same emotions." Cheng Ying said with a smile, "What we need to do is to reserve as many emotions as possible and to mobilize the corresponding emotions when needed.
This is also very similar to a computer. If you enter an instruction and the computer outputs a result, it is not important at all whether the specific calculation process uses a system of ternary multiple equations or linear algebra."
"Okay, I understand, I really benefited a lot."
"Then come on."
Cheng Ying clenched his fists, cheered him up, and then left with his own water cup.
At this time, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was around 12 o'clock in the evening.
There are only a few staff members in the studio packing props and preparing for tomorrow's filming work.
"Hey!"
He took a picture of Xia Yuan's back with one hand.
He looked back and found that it was Fu Qianmo, the wife in the play, who was named Duan Qian.
"Why are you always behind me?"
"Hehe, isn't this good?" Duan Qian smiled and sat down next to him with a water cup, "You can also be behind me."
Jiang Xiaoling in the distance narrowed her eyes and looked at them silently.
"I don't do such a thing." Xia Yuan replied to her angrily.
Duan Qian curled her lips without comment and brought the topic back to the performance.
"You must not learn what Cheng Ying told you just now."
"Hmm?" Xia Yuan looked at her in confusion, "You heard it just now? Why don't you learn it? I think what she said makes sense."
"That flashy thing is not beneficial to learn it," Duan Qian said with a hint of contempt in her tone. "If you use the skills she said too much, you will become more and more separated from the character, and you will not be able to perform in-depth performances."
"What's the meaning?"
“She is from the method, I am from the experiential school.
You can understand the experience school as the authentic martial arts school, and the method school is the oblique branch on this basis.”
Duan Qian curled her lips, "For example, a single emotion can be expressed through emotional mobilization, but what about complex emotions? For example, what you want to show today is that you love her and don't want to harm her, and are both pulled by inner desires and restrained. This requires you to mix multiple emotions together to express them. What should you do?"
"Um..." Xia Yuan's eyebrows were furrowed together, and he didn't know how to answer her.
"So, the real kingdom requires you to devote yourself to it," Duan Qian said. "The experience school is the most difficult part of the performance school, but after you have successfully practiced, you will be the one-of-a-kind ace actor. Only this path is the real right path."
Xia Yuan shook his head, not understanding what she said very much.
“So what should I do in the specific experience school?”
"I'll give you an example," Duan Qian said, "It's better to use the dead wife. The method school allows you to use other analogies, such as dead dogs, dead friends, and dead parents to express similarly, but the experiential school requires you to immerse yourself in it and truly believe that you have a wife, and she is dead.
In other words, this is called the unity of human swords.
When you perform, you become this character and it is part of you.
This is how Zhang Guorong is. After filming the film, he couldn't get out for a long time because he really got involved.
This is a good actor.”
After Duan Qian finished speaking, she left for Xia Yuan to digest it for a few seconds.
After a while, she made a summary:
"To summarize it in one sentence, the experiential school is called [If I cheat people, I will even cheat myself. I am not fake crazy, I am really crazy]
And the method is [I know I'm lying, but I'm lying very seriously]”
Xia Yuan nodded, thinking.
...
Walking on the way home at night, Xia Yuan asked Jiang Xiaoling.
"Did you understand?"
"What?"
"What they said today is about how to be an actor."
"I don't understand, I just know that you have to do something that you are sorry for the female. " Jiang Xiaoling's tone was cold, "One is cheating without heart, and the other is cheating without heart and heart.
There is not much difference in the results.”
“…”
