Global Movie Emperor

"The essence of film and television performances is still action, which is an action process that integrates psychology and body. It matches the current situation or language and responds in line with the scene. It is the ability of the nervous system to cooperate with the muscles to grasp the situation best, including actions, Feelings, intuition, become subconscious physical expressions.”

"Therefore, performance can be called the art of action. It is based on theory and lays the foundation for practice. Therefore, theory should be easy to understand and popular, rather than mysterious and obscure."

"Nowadays, most people have made some adjustments to the essence of performance, emphasizing feeling and calling feeling the foundation of performance. In fact, this adjustment often emphasizes the emergence of feeling and intuitive phenomena in performance, but often leads to actors being unable to find the essence of performance. Feeling, or in other words, during the performance, the accompanying movements will produce strong feelings. If you only rely on feelings to support the performance, you cannot summarize the integrity of film and television performances."

"The actions and emotions of the characters live in the actors. That is to say, the actors and the characters need to be very well integrated and unified. While deepening the understanding, understanding and adjustment of their own action characteristics, they must also make adjustments to the roles they play. Only by accurately analyzing the tone of the character, what is the core of the character, and what are the action characteristics of the character can we successfully resurrect the characters in literary works on the stage or screen, and embody living people through our own body and mind. To the point of possessing the character, the two become one.”

…

The book was turned over again, and the brand-new fragrance of ink sprayed into his nostrils, which made him feel relaxed and happy. His brows stretched, and he let out a long sigh. He picked up the water glass and took a sip of water. After staying in his mouth for a few seconds, It was swallowed three times.

His concentration was broken, and he subconsciously held up the book, thinking about how much he had read and how long he could experience the pleasure the book brought to him.

The book is good, and it is the answer given by the professor. For the time being, there is not much newness in this book. Most of the theories have been mentioned by people and are not new. However, as an old-school performer, he also agrees that movements are performances. The theory of the foundation of art scorned the theoretical adjustment that felt to be the foundation of performance, so this book was quite pleasing to him, and he recognized that Lu Ze and he were of the same mind, and felt some sympathy for each other.

"not bad."

Holding the upper left and right corners of the opened book between his index and middle fingers, he encouraged himself and was still interested in reading, even though he knew that Lu Ze was not from an academy.

In the past, he was always not interested in the new concepts mentioned in professional acting books published by Ye Luzi actors. After all, the reason why Ye Luzi is called Ye Luzi is because of the uniqueness it brings, and it may be suitable for someone. He is a wild actor, but he is not suitable for most acting practitioners, so of course it has no reference significance.

I continued reading for less than fifteen minutes, but when I turned to another chapter, I found a blank. The basic theory of the first chapter had been explained, and now I entered the second chapter, which is the unit that the professor was most interested in, practice.

Any actor will be interested in Lu Ze's performance training methods. After all, he is terrifyingly strong and perfect in every aspect. The numerous awards he has won are the best proof.

This is the envy of many people, and it also makes them curious about what kind of training method can give birth to this monster. If they can learn a thing or two from it, will their performance ability be improved by one or even multiple levels? ?

This is the truest thought of most readers who buy Lu Ze's books. The professor is not like this, but he is just joking if he is not interested in Lu Ze's training methods, so he opened the book with an inexplicable expectation. I opened a new page, only to find that this chapter was written in a different way from the first chapter. It was recorded in the form of notes.

…

"After I came back from the crew of "Head", I was not in a very good mood. During the filming, I was denied the idea of ​​​​acting by the director. Naturally, I had an ideological confrontation with the director for a period of time, which ended in my defeat. Because he’s the director.”

"I always thought that my idea was right, but after returning to the hotel and rehearsing, I found a problem. In some details, the director was also correct to a certain extent. This is what makes me uncomfortable. reason."

"The esthetician Plekhanov said: Art not only shows people's emotions, but also expresses people's thoughts, but it is not expressed abstractly, but with vivid images. This is the main characteristic of art."

"Art begins when a person re-evokes in his own mind the emotions and thoughts he has experienced under the influence of the surrounding reality, and gives them a certain image expression. The purpose of a person doing this is to think of and feel repeatedly To convey something to others, performance is to express an artistic phenomenon.”

"So I decided that I wanted to re-understand the characters I played. It's not enough to just use the skills I have mastered. Only with detailed and profound observation and understanding of people from all walks of life can I experience the descriptions in the work. Whether it is real or not, so I started from the historical background of the character.”

"Then, I combined the character's lines in the script to figure out his thoughts and emotions. In the end, all I had to do was to copy a living person in my heart. He didn't have to be called the character's name. I even used Lu Ze as his name. Name him after me, and he will be my friend, at least when I need him."

…

"Is this possible?"

From this moment on, the professor finally understood why Kamiya said that readers would have two thoughts: incomprehension and understanding. The big devil is really a devil...

He has obviously established another self in his mind, and needs this person to accompany him day and night. He even lets the other self control the situation at the moment when filming.

“Isn’t this cultivating mental illness?”

This is not the most taboo practice among acting professionals, because they have never heard of an outstanding actor exercising his acting ability in this way.

But in the near future, the professor believes that this will be the most taboo practice method in acting majors, because someone proposed this method and claimed that he was successful.

It is said that the experiential style of acting is a bit dangerous. It will penetrate too deeply into the heart of the character. You may be stuck in the character's emotions for a long time and be unable to get out of it. For example, you may fall in love with the person the character loves, or become depressed because of what the character encounters.

But compared with this method, the experiential school is still too gentle. It creates a new self in the heart, and even gives the body to another self. Can the fantasy method perform well? The professor wasn't sure, but he was sure he could produce a madman.

Just now, the sense of identification between Lu Ze and him as both old-school performers was suddenly shattered. However, because of his amiable nature, it was difficult for him to criticize Lu Ze immediately. He just asked repeatedly in his heart, is this possible?

Since the professor often takes a nap in the office, there is naturally a mirror in the office for grooming. At this moment, he was sitting on the left side of the mirror. After seeing Lu Ze's practice method, he subconsciously turned his glasses and tried to feel... …He had a friend named Romeo, and he accepted this person named Romeo into his body.

"Get lost!"

Cold sweat soon broke through his shirt, and a creepy emotion lingered in his heart, reminding him of the terrifying psychological experiment of getting up in the morning and reciting "Who are you" ten times in front of the mirror.

At a certain moment just now, he also had the illusion that he couldn't recognize who he was, and strangely discovered that he seemed to hate Romeo, even though he had played Romeo for nearly twenty years.

"madman."

Maybe he was scolding Lu Ze, or maybe he was scolding himself. In short, he didn't want to continue reading this weird book now. Damn it, this is the truest thought in the professor's heart.

He closed this professional acting book, which he considered a cult, and placed it on the top bookshelf. He was about to go home. No... before going home, he must go to a bar with a pleasant atmosphere to have a drink or two to relieve his mood. .

"Professor, are you going?"

At the door of the office building, he saw Linda again. She was holding a stack of books in her arms. The most exposed book was the book that was enough to give him nightmares at night, "Performance, My Life".

"I'm going home. I don't have any classes in the afternoon. Did get out of class just finish?"

"Well, see you then, Professor."

"Wait……"

"What's wrong?"

"Uh...I can answer you about the topic you asked me at noon. This book..."

He pointed at the books Linda was holding tightly, organized his words, and then spoke again.

"I don't recommend you watch it. Of course, you can watch it. Don't learn from it. Just promise me, okay?"

"O...K, then I will listen to you, Professor."

"goodbye."

Looking at Linda's surprised expression, the professor could swear that the more he said this, the more curious Linda would become. However, this matter was out of his control. He could only hope that Linda could understand as soon as possible that there was a big hole in this book. Don't jump in stupidly.

"Lu Ze, you madman, how many talented actors are you going to destroy?"

Cursing constantly in his heart, he got into the car and stepped on the accelerator. The speed of the car was much faster than when he just came back from buying books.
