Chapter 769 772, Acting

When Chinese people meet on the street, they always like to ask: Have you eaten?

Even students on campus are rarely an exception!

But on the morning of October 8, the students of the undergraduate class of the 2002 acting department of the Central Academy of Drama met on the school basketball court, and they all asked: Have you watched it?

And the other party understood immediately, and then replied: I watched it, it was very exciting, which made me cry in my bed for a long time.

Of course, the crying noses are probably girls, and boys' tear troughs are not that shallow!

For breakfast, Zhu Yawen ate wontons at [Zhu Yuanzhang Wonton Shop]. He originally thought that he could meet the class teacher Sun Hao, because he had just returned from Shanghai and believed that he should be too lazy to cook...

However, it was a bit sad. After four tea eggs and two bowls of wontons, Zhu Yawen still failed to meet the class teacher Sun Hao.

However, Zhu Yawen still did not give up. After asking the guard Lao Qin and confirming that Sun Hao had not come yet, he strolled in Dongmianhua Hutong in front of the school gate.

Teacher Sun, I feel that the role of Mei Changsu still has some flaws, and he was too indecisive in the early stage.

Teacher Sun, when do you plan to shoot the TV series "Nirvana in Fire", or you can give me the role of Mei Changsu, I promise I can play it well!

Teacher Sun, actually, I feel that I am quite similar to Mei Changsu, both of us know how to endure, both of us know how to accumulate and then release, and both of us know how to scheme.

…

But just as Zhu Yawen was walking and thinking about how he should talk to his head teacher Sun Hao, there was a burst of scattered footsteps behind him.

"Teacher Sun, the mutton soup you made is simply too delicious."

"No, no, no, I like to eat the pan-fried buns made by Teacher Sun, with garlic sauce, it's so beautiful?"

"Hey, you say, how come Senior Sister Zeng Li doesn't get fat just by eating? She ate six pan-fried buns and drank a whole bowl of mutton soup, but her figure is still so domineering."

Following the voice, Zhu Yawen turned back and felt a little stunned.

Sun Hao walked in the front, and the people around him included Liu Yifei, Lei Jiayin, Han Yu, Tong Liya, Zhu Yu, Gao Yuanyuan, Bai Xue, Luo Qun, Yang Shuo...

Fuck, these dozen shameless people came to the home of the head teacher to eat early in the morning, and they didn't even call me? !

"Ya Wen..."

"Hey, Teacher Sun!"

Zhu Ya Wen shook his head, put aside his curses against these shameless people, and hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

"What are you doing here?

Go back quickly, the first class is about to start."

Everyone is basically the same age. Outside the school, Sun Hao is very casual. He puts his arm around Zhu Ya Wen's shoulders and walks towards the school together.

"Ya Wen, I heard that the novel you read is "Nirvana in Fire"?

"Yeah, that's right!"

Zhu Ya Wen was very excited. He didn't expect the head teacher to take the initiative to bring up this topic, so his carefully prepared remarks would come in handy.

"How do you feel?"

"Teacher Sun, after reading "Nirvana in Fire", I have many thoughts, but in summary, there are only two points:

First, power struggles are nothing more than human nature, and human nature is the most critical factor supporting behavior, which also dominates the plot of this novel.

Second, I think the most successful part of your novel is that it only touches on love and does not set love as the main line of the book..."

After preparing for a whole night, without any stumbling, it took only three minutes for Zhu Yawen to clearly explain his understanding of the novel.

However, what disappointed Zhu Yawen a little was that Sun Hao did not comment on his reading experience until he walked into the classroom.

………

Central Academy of Drama

Classrooms are divided into many types according to their functions, such as rehearsal classrooms, dance classrooms, vocal classrooms, piano rooms, dialogue teaching laboratories, studios, etc.

But Sun Hao's first class for the undergraduate class of the 2002 acting department did not enter these professional classrooms, but followed the school's arrangement to put the teaching location in the place where the literature department often takes classes - the stepped classroom.

Lecture Hall

Today, there are a lot of people, even overcrowded!

Not only are all 80 seats full, but the aisles and windows are also crowded with people.

Among these people, there are students from all grades and departments; there are teachers, such as Professor Chang Li, Professor Li Baotian, Teacher Wang Zhiwen, Teacher Jiang Wenli, etc.; there are also seniors who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, such as Jiang Wen, Gong Li, Deng Chao, Tian Yu, Zhang Jingchu, etc.

The purpose of these people coming is quite simple, they just want to take a close look at how the world's highest-grossing film director currently teaches his first class in his life.

Although there are many listeners, Sun Hao is not stage-frightened.

Under everyone's gaze, Sun Hao calmly walked up to the podium after slightly adjusting his coat.

"Hello everyone, I am Sun Hao, the head teacher of the 2002 acting undergraduate class. Today is my first time to give a lecture on stage. If I don't speak well, I hope you can forgive me, a rookie, from the bottom of your heart."

"Haha..."

After listening to Sun Hao's opening remarks, everyone laughed.

Sun Hao was patient. He waited for everyone's laughter to die down before turning around and writing two words on the blackboard with chalk: [Acting]!

"In fact, it can't be considered a lecture on stage. I just want to talk to the students in our class who have just entered the university campus about what acting is? What is good acting? What are your goals in acting in the future?

As we all know, for actors, acting is a livelihood and a core competitiveness.

But for ordinary audiences, there is really no standard system that can be used to evaluate "acting skills".

Because for the same performance, people with different life experiences and experiences seem to have different feelings.

Since there is no unified standard, how does "good" acting exist?

Well, before answering this question, let me first talk about what "good acting" looks like in my mind?

I believe that good acting skills must meet at least three objective conditions:

First, the audience is not distracted from the drama. As long as they are in the camera, the actors can maintain full and sincere "character emotions" at all times, making people empathize.

This is easy to understand. From our point of view, the actor is the character itself.

For example, Zhou Xingchi's portrayal of Yin Tianchou in "The King of Comedy". Although there are nonsensical scenes in the film, even in these scenes, the audience will not be distracted by the plot.

Especially in the passage where Wu Mengda scolded him, Zhou Xingchi's shameless contempt and embarrassment made people sympathize with him.

Second, the performance is layered, rhythmic, and prioritized. Even if it is shown alone, the audience can clearly know the character's state and emotions at this time.

Level and rhythm are relatively vague concepts. In layman's terms, they mean the right speed and slowness, calmness and explosion, and well-proportioned.

The most typical example is Marlon Brando's performance in "The Godfather". When Vito Corleone heard the news of his son's death, he was first surprised, then hurt, and then calmly controlled the situation.

…”

"Hey... Lao Chang, Sun Hao can do it. Not only is he great in practice, but he has also initially formed his own theoretical system."

Professor Liang Bolong, who was sitting in the best seat and listening to the lecture, tilted his head towards Professor Chang Li.

"Haha, just clever!"

Faced with the praise from Professor Liang Bolong, the former head of the Department of Performance, Professor Chang Li was humble on behalf of his most proud disciple.

"It's no longer clever. After so many years since the establishment of Chinese Opera, it seems that no class teacher has used this method to create a clear concept of [performance] in the minds of students?!

Oh, right…"

When talking about this, Liang Bolong suddenly paused and then lowered his voice very low.

"Teacher Chang, someone from above came to me and asked me to talk to Sun Hao about the copyright infringement of certain Korean dramas. How about we just forget about it? If we pursue it seriously, I'm afraid it will affect the overall investment situation...

What do you think of it? "
