Chapter 118 Animal Simulation
After the third test results were released, Nortel Electronics officially started school.
Zhang Ran is going to be busy with movies next. He doesn’t have much time to attend class, but the first class must be missing, so he must tell the students in the class. At the same time, he must make a general arrangement for the study of this semester so that everyone can understand what to learn this semester.
The class bell rang.
Zhang Ran walked onto the podium and waited until the students were quiet, and then said: "Our study this semester is divided into three stages. The first month of animal simulation, followed by a month of observation and life practice, and finally the clip teaching, and learn to analyze the basic methods of scripts and characters. Listen clearly. If you perform well in the first two months, I will take you to the crew in May, while experiencing life and learning to analyze scripts. At that time, you can communicate with many big names with excellent acting skills!"
When the students in the class heard this, they were immediately excited: "Teacher Zhang, is it true or false?"
"Idiot, what Teacher Zhang said is of course true!"
"Teacher Zhang, what are the big names?"
"It must be interesting to go to the crew to experience life!"
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "It's the crew of "Before Dawn". You all know many actors, including Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, etc., they are all actors with excellent acting skills. At that time, I will select some clips from the script of "Before Dawn" for you to rehearse. You can ask these big names while practicing on your own. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, whether you can go depends on your performance in the first half of the period. If you perform well, take you there. If you don't perform well, stay at school and accept the sanctions from Teacher Zhang!"
"Teacher Zhang, we must perform well!"
"We are so well-behaved, how could we not behave well!"
Zhang Ran said to the students: "Okay, let's talk about serious business. What we want to do today is animal simulation! What is animal simulation? Simply put, it is to simulate animals." When Zhang Ran said this, he said to Wang Luodan: "Wang Luodan, you play a monkey."
Wang Luodan ran to the center of the classroom, scratched his ears and faced with laughter, and pretended to be a monkey.
Zhang Ran was very dissatisfied with Wang Luodan's performance and shook his head and said, "You are too fake. Your movements, expressions, and expressions are not the same, let alone the psychology of animals! Cao Bingkun, plays a wolf!"
Cao Bingkun crawled on the ground like a cat. His teeth were clenched tightly, his back was arched, and his eyes were shining with fierce light. Then, he raised his head and shouted: "Ao..."
Zhang Ran nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now play the monkey!"
Cao Bingkun got up, made a monkey face, squatted on the ground, scratched his ears and foreheads, and grabbed fleas from himself and ate them.
Zhang Ran picked up the mineral water bottle on the table and threw it in front of Cao Bingkun: "Continue!"
Cao Bingkun was stunned there, not knowing how to act, and said with a bitter face: "Teacher Zhang, I don't know how to act!"
Zhang Ran waved his hand and signaled Cao Bingkun to go down, and then said, "Cao Bingkun acted very well, grasping the external characteristics of the animals, but this is far from enough! Animals also have inner activities. For example, if you throw a bottle of water to the monkey, the monkey will have related actions when they see it. Of course, the monkey's psychological reaction will not be as complicated as a human. He will not think of anyone throwing an empty mineral water bottle. Are you teasing me? The monkey doesn't know what this is. It will be curious, so you must organize related actions according to his reaction."
Wang Luodan asked: "Teacher Zhang, why do we learn from animals? We don't want to act like animals!"
Zhang Ran explained: "It's very simple. Any learning is a gradual process. Take us as a mathematics. You first learn addition and subtraction, then multiplication and division, and then learn more complex operations. The same is true for performance. We first learn basic elements training, then do simple movement training, and then simulate animal training, observe characters, and finally learn to shape characters. The external characteristics of animals are more obvious, and the psychology is relatively simple. After we understand the characteristics of animals, we will arrange sketches with animals as the main characters, which is actually to let everyone do anthropomorphic exercises for animals. This is simpler than directly shaping characters, and lay the foundation for creating real characters later. Don't think that this is a play, and you must not underestimate them. Some students went to pre-exam classes before taking the Beijing Film Academy and received some animal simulation training. Students who have studied will show you!"
There were not many students in Zhang Ran’s class who had been in the pre-exam class, seven of them stood up one after another, walked down and started performing.
The entire classroom suddenly became a zoo, and it was very lively.
Among the seven students, Cao Bingkun's performance was satisfactory. Before he entered Beijing Electric, he attended the training class of Beijing Electric. The education he received was quite formal, completely different from the grass-roots team. Moreover, he was a hard-working person, and he played the role of tiger with both form and spirit.
The other students performed mediocrely. They had learned animal simulation, but their teachers taught skins, and they themselves simply imitated the animal's movements. Although everyone could see what they were performing, they were just imitating it a bit similar, without any soul.
After they performed for a minute, Zhang Ran understood everyone's situation and stopped loudly. He walked back to the podium and smiled and said, "It's similar to what I expected. What do you think?"
The students in the class have been studying with Zhang Ran for so long and know Zhang Ran quite well. When they see him laughing, they know that they are not good at acting and don’t speak.
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I don't mean to blame you. Performances are never achieved overnight. You get a positive study of roles. If you don't study roles, she can't play Merrill Streep well. You can't play animals well because you haven't really studied them, so what we have to do today is to observe animals in the zoo!"
The students in the class were stunned and then cheered loudly.
Zhang Ran slapped his hands and said loudly: "Target Zoo, go now!"
...
The streets are a little deserted in winter, and the zoo is even more deserted. However, with the children of Zhang Ran’s class, they are like a group of sparrows, chattering, and the entrance to the zoo is much more lively.
Zhang Ran bought a good ticket, took a group of students into the zoo, and stood on the side of the road to discuss what to observe. After discussion, he finally decided to divide it into three groups. Li Xinyue took ten students to observe the black bear; Zhou Zheng took ten students to Tiger Mountain to observe the tiger; while Zhang Ran took ten students to observe the monkey.
The students in the class walked briskly, walking in front, Zhang Ran was carrying a bag of fruits and following slowly. The students thought Zhang Ran was walking slowly, so they turned around and urged, "Teacher Zhang, why are you walking so slowly?"
Zhang Ran hit his back and imitated the tone of an elderly person, saying, "There is no way. I am old and have difficulty in legs and feet. I can't compete with you young people!"
The students in the class were speechless. We were obviously about the same age, so why did we always pretend to be mature? Zhang Xinyi and Wang Luodan ran over and pulled Zhang Ran forward with one of his arms.
Zhang Ran was dragged by two girls and trotted all the way to Monkey Mountain.
There are many monkeys in Monkey Mountain, with monkeys of all sizes sitting or standing, some watching tourists quietly, some chasing and playing with food, swinging, and playing with tires. All kinds of cuteness make tourists laugh. Some of the tourists keep throwing peanuts and fruits into Monkey Mountain, causing the monkeys to snatch up.
Wang Luodan lay beside the fence, waved the bottle in his hand at the monkey, and shouted: "Come on, come on, little monkey, look here, look here!"
The others were also lying on the railing and teasing the monkeys, and joking: "Dandan, that monkey looks like you!"
"Nothing nonsense, I think it's like you!"
"It's really red and big to see that there's no monkey's butt."
"Jia Niaoliang, you stare at the monkey's butt, it's so lustful!"
When the students in the class were fighting like this, many tourists who watched monkeys changed to see them. There was no way that the girls in the class were too beautiful. Each of them was dressed very beautifully. Although they were dressed thickly in winter and looked bloated, their white faces facing the sky were extremely attractive.
Zhang Xinyi walked to Zhang Ran, looked at the fruit he was carrying, pulled his hand, and asked, "Teacher Zhang, can you give me an apple? I'll feed the monkey!"
Zhang Ran glared at her and said with a high voice: "Okay, come here for me. You are here for class, not to play with monkeys, stand all now!"
The students stopped laughing and stood up one by one, their backs were straight like javelins.
Zhang Ran looked at them and said seriously: "Let me talk about how to observe animals first. When observing, everyone must pay attention to a few key points. Observe the skeleton of the monkey, observe the center of gravity of the monkey's body, and observe the rhythm of the monkey's movements. Pay attention, don't just focus on the appearance, look for the internal characteristics of the animals and understand their psychological conditions, so that we can show it vividly through body imitation and the use of eyes when we perform. For example, if you throw a banana over and the monkey sees it, what is its psychological reaction? What is the eyes look like, you have to catch it? If we just imitate its appearance, then the performance will be lifeless."
At this moment, a loud footsteps sounded. Then, Zhang Ran saw a teacher-like man walking over with a group of young people of eighteen or nineteen years old. They were all handsome men and beautiful women, all with extraordinary temperaments and seemed to be learning to perform.
Zhang Yixin looked at the person coming, and suddenly saw a familiar face and shouted: "Hey, it's from the Central Academy of Drama, why did they come here too?"
"How do you know it's from the Central Academy of Drama?"
"That boy is named Zheng Xiaodong. He was in the same group as me during the art exam. He passed the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama, but he went to the Central Academy of Drama!"
The Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy have always been unhappy. One year, Yang fell in love with Xiangnan Satellite TV and met the school grass of the Central Academy of Drama. As a result, Yang fans almost choked to death, making them very embarrassed. When the students of Zhang Ran's class heard that it was from the Central Academy of Drama, they immediately started to whisper: "The quality of this Central Academy of Drama is not very good, and they can't compare with the girls in our class. Not to mention Huang Shengyi, even Zhang Xinyi would have killed them!"
