"No! Although I have not read many books, I have read "Actors' Self-cultivation" and "My Art Life". Why don't I remember Stani said that actors need to be liberated? Where, or which book, and how many pages did Stani say that actors need to be liberated?" Speaking of this, Zhang Ran patted the computer he carried and said coldly, "I have a complete e-book of Stani's collection in my computer. Please read it to me. When did Stani say that actors need to be liberated?"

Bai Fanping was stunned, thought for a while, and defended: "Stanny did not directly say that he wanted to liberate nature, but he mentioned nature. Could it be that if Stany did not directly demand liberate nature, we could not do this? If so, how could the performance theory develop?"

Zhang Ran said: "Of course, but here comes a basic question, what is nature? Why do we need to liberate him? If you can't even explain this basic question clearly, then there must be something wrong with your statement. Please tell me, what is nature?"

Bai Fanping said: "Nature is human nature. People are selfish, greedy for money and power; people are selfish, so they must be cruel and cruel to those who hinder their development; they are possessive of the opposite sex, and they may even be crazy and barbaric. However, these people are usually bound by morality and discipline and suppressed by reason, and no one dares to cross this red line. But now as an actor, if all kinds of characters are created in the script, they may be extremely cruel or even shameless people, and they must say something they usually dare not say and do something they usually dare not do. What should I do? I must release these natures in myself that are born with and have always been suppressed by morality! After nature is released, he can find the seeds of those characters in himself, and naturally he can successfully play such characters!"

"Everyone says this circle is dirty. Nowadays actors are often labeled as '**, arrogant, ruthless', etc. I have found the root cause! If we teachers cannot teach students responsibility, justice, and kindness, but teach them greed, selfish, and cold, how can this circle not be dirty?" Zhang Ran was very angry and pointed at Bai Fanping and roared.

Bai Fanping was so scared that he took a few steps back, his face was extremely pale: "Zhang Ran, this is a serious academic issue, don't put a hat on it!"

Zhang Ran ignored him, turned to look at his students, and said seriously: "Actors are an ordinary profession, not nobler than other professions, nor inferior to other professions. In the future, you will be actors, and you will definitely encounter a lot of unfairness and a lot of dirty things!" Zhang Ran clenched his right fist and pounded his chest hard, and said firmly, "But I hope you remember that as long as there is light in your heart, the entertainment industry will not be dark!"

"Yes, teacher!" The students in the class stared into Zhang Ran's eyes and said with a firm expression.

The argument between Zhang Ran and Bai Fanping attracted the attention of tourists. Many people did not understand what they were competing for, but Zhang Ran understood what he said and applauded them.

A girl with round face in the crowd said to a girl with big eyes: "This teacher in Beijing Film Academy is so good!"

The big-eyed girl nodded and said, "Yes, just like the hero in a martial arts movie, she is righteous!"

Zhang Ran nodded at the students in the class, turned his head to look at Bai Fanping, and said coldly: "Teacher Bai said it was an academic issue, let's continue to discuss it. You said that cruelty, selfishness, and cruelty are nature, is that kindness, kindness, is kindness in nature? People are born with good nature. You won't know? When you teach students that they are cruel and selfish, will they erase their kind and kind nature? Similarly, is shyness a nature, and is cowardly a nature? A shy girl becomes a carefree man by liberating her nature. Is this the biggest characteristic of her as an actor?"

"When did I teach our students to be greedy, selfish and cruel? You are purely slandering! I am talking about a concept, but in fact I will not let students do things that violate morality. I just hope that they will let go of their bound nature and be more comfortable in their performance!"

Zhang Ran shook his head and said, "It is right to let students perform freely, but what does it have to do with nature? I have come into contact with the Stani system, such as methodology, Stella technology, Messler technology, etc., and there is never a saying that there is no liberation of nature."

Bai Fanping retorted: "You are talking about the United States. Unlike China, the family environment and educational conditions of Americans are very open-minded and democratic. The nature of children is not suppressed much. After adulthood, they basically maintain a cheerful and open nature. Such people hardly need to practice deliberately liberating their nature. This is why Hollywood actors and some Western countries are naturally much smarter than our actors. The actors in these countries are much more comfortable performing than us."

Zhang Ran said: "Sensory and self-expression are limited and exist all over the world. For example, the middle class in the United States feels shameful about spontaneous emotional reactions. Don't cry! Don't laugh so loudly! Don't scream, etc. When they need to express their emotions on the stage, it is often more difficult than the bottom. However, these can be changed through training."

Bai Fanping smiled: "Isn't this the nature of liberating one's nature?"

Zhang Ran said: "It is not that the nature is bound by nature. What restricts the actors is not morality and law, but psychology. For example, if you call a child to perform, he may perform badly, but he can perform seriously. When he grows up, he knows what good acting is and what bad it means. If you let him perform in public, she will think a lot, what if he doesn't act well, what if others laugh at me, and sentient beings who are distracted, he will not dare to act. What we need to do is to eliminate distracting thoughts and release ourselves from psychological constraints. This process can only be guided and not forcefully. Many students are psychologically fragile. Forcing their hearts to open their hearts will make them afraid to perform. Teacher Hu Weiguo of our school made a shy girl walk around in front of everyone with her mouth tilted, her eyes slanted, and saliva drooling. As a result, the girl cried while acting, which obviously hurts the girls' psychology."

"Then tell me, what is the right way to train?"

"There are many training methods to relax psychological constraints. For example, mask practice can allow students to liberate their emotions and let actors remove their self-awareness of fear of being watched. But this method is not to make him do whatever he wants according to his nature, but to make him play the roles he was embarrassed to play and do the actions he was embarrassed to do. I didn't wear a mask and couldn't do mask exercises, so I did it!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ran looked up among the onlookers, preparing to find a stranger to demonstrate, but he saw a very familiar face in the crowd, and immediately waved: "That little sister, that big eyes, yes, it's you, come here!"

When the girl with big eyes came over, Zhang Ran asked her to stand in the middle of the crowd and said to her: "Do us a favor and do a small experiment. Just stand here, just stand until I call you to stop!" Then he turned his head to the students in the class and said, "Everyone evaluate this little sister!"

The students in Zhang Ran's class immediately started to talk: "This little girl is so beautiful, especially her eyes are so beautiful!"

"He looks pretty, but his hair is dyed with a few yellow hairs, and he looks like a bad girl!"

"That's right, school has already started, but I haven't gone to class. I guess I've skipped school!"

...

Amid the rumbling of discussion, the girl started to smile on her face, looking nothing, but soon she was a little helpless and her expression became squeamish. Being pointed at by a group of strangers, even the thick-skinned person would feel embarrassed.

After almost a minute, Zhang Ran felt that the girl could not bear it anymore, so she turned on her computer and looked at the girl and asked, "Do you know how to play the game on the computer's minesweeping?"

The girl nodded and said, "Yes!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Now you come and play minesweeping. If you can play pass, I will reward you with an apple!"

"I'm not a three-year-old child!" The girl gave a blank look, took the computer, put it on the ground and started playing.

The students in Zhang Ran’s class didn’t know why Zhang Ran did this, and they all whispered, but the girl was not affected this time and she was playing the game seriously.

After two minutes, Zhang Ran clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's get to this place!" As he said that, he took out an apple from the bag and handed it to the girl: "Thank you for your cooperation, thank you for your hard work!"

"No need!" The girl rolled her eyes, walked aside, and stood with her companions.

Zhang Ran looked at Bai Fanping, then looked at the students from two classes and said, "In the same scene, everyone was talking about it. At first, the little sister was very nervous and at a loss, but when I asked her to play games, she was no longer nervous. Why is this happening? It's very simple. At first, she didn't understand what she was going to do, and she would think a lot. Once she had too many distracting thoughts, she would get nervous. Later, her mind was all on the game, and there were no so many distracting thoughts, and the tension naturally disappeared."

Zhang Ran took over the mineral water bottle in Wang Luodan's hand, then shook it vigorously, and said, "If we regard ourselves as a container, there is half a bottle of water in this container now, which is equivalent to distracting thoughts, and it will sound when shaken. There are two ways to eliminate tension and act freely, one is to clear and the other is to fill it up!"

As he said that, Zhang Ran unscrewed the lid, poured out the water, and shook it again: "Look, it's not ringing now. What is the so-called emptying? It means to clear the distracting thoughts in the heart and clear the distracting thoughts that bind our minds. Of course, it is difficult to completely eliminate distracting thoughts, but if we are calm inside, we will not have so many distracting thoughts, and we will be relatively comfortable in performance. Many excellent actors are low-key and quiet people. They are very comfortable when performing, and performance training is to train the power of inner peace. Filling is the situation that the little sister just showed. When our hearts are filled with scripts, characters, and characters, we will not have so many distracting thoughts and we will not be nervous!"

This principle is very simple. Not only did the students from both schools understand it, but even the onlookers nodded one by one.

The round-faced girl said, "So that's the case. I understand as soon as he said this!"

The girl with big eyes nodded and said, "This teacher in Beijing Electric is so amazing. I will take the Beijing Electric exam in the future!"

Only Wang Luodan was crying, that was my water!

Bai Fanping saw that the students in his class were nodding, and his face looked very ugly: "Zhang Ran, no one can convince anyone. Why not do this? There will be a national sketch competition in September. We will all sign up and compare it at that time? Which class has better grades and which one makes sense?"
