Chapter 18 Morning Work
At 5:50 in the morning, Zhang Ran came to the boy's dormitory 413. The weather is hot now, and for ventilation, the door of the 413's dormitory is open. Zhang Ran opened the door directly and walked in. He looked at the four boys lying on the bed, then looked at the whistle in his hand, smiled, and then blew hard.
Beep—
The four sleeping boys' ears buzzed and they sat up like springs. Jia Niaoliang almost rolled off the bed.
"Emergency gathering, emergency gathering!" Cao Bingkun stood on the bed while putting on his pants and shouted, but he quickly realized that it was wrong, the military training was over! Where did the emergency gathering come from?
The light in the room was dark. Jia Niaoliang didn't see who was blowing the whistle clearly and shouted angrily: "Who is this? I won't let people live!"
Zhang Ran walked to Jia Niaoliang and asked with a smile: "If you get up, don't let you live? Are you so delicate?"
Only then did Jia Niaoliang see clearly that it was Zhang Ran, and his face was filled with a flattering smile: "Teacher Zhang, I am not delicate, not delicate at all!" As he said that, he put on his pants, rolled off the bed, and quickly put on his shoes.
After just after military training, the four boys moved very quickly, and they were all dressed neatly and stood in front of the bed.
Zhang Ran patted Jia Niaoliang on the shoulder, pounded Cao Kun's chest, and nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that the training effect is very obvious and very good. However, this state needs to be maintained. In the four years this year, you must get up at 6 o'clock every morning, start morning exercises at 6 o'clock, until 7 o'clock, for an hour. Remember, no matter whether it is cold or hot, snow or rainy, no one must be absent for any reason!"
"Yes!" The four boys raised their chests and raised their heads and replied loudly.
But the expressions of the four of them were ugly, and Jia Niaoliang was almost crying. Damn, why wasn't Teacher Wang Jingsong the head teacher, but Zhang Ran's pervert?
If I had known it, I should have gone to the Central Academy of Drama!
Four years, how many four years can life be? Will it still make people live?
...
Zhang Ran knew that they might be cursing themselves in their hearts, but he didn't care. He believed in one sentence, and the strict teacher gave him a good disciple: "Cao Bingkun, take the people in your dormitory to the playground!" After that, he turned around and called the students in the next room.
To outsiders, learning to perform must be a very relaxing thing. You can watch movies, take notes, arrange sketches, and look very leisurely.
In fact, the performance major is a very hard major. At around 6 o'clock in the morning, students in the performance department must perform morning exercises, open their voices, exercise their bodies, practice their voices, practice their breaths, practice their mouths, such as tongue twisters, 800 model men running north slopes, etc. As the grade goes up, there will be some homework, monologues, poetry, prose and lines, etc., which must be completed before breakfast. At night, they will arrange homework, that is, sketches or scripts, and rehearse until eleven or twelve o'clock every night. It is a common thing for students in the performance department to sleep for only three or four hours a day.
At this moment, the 30 students in the 01-print book on the playground have gathered. The boy was called by Zhang Ran and Zhou Zheng, and the girl was called by Li Xinyue. As a male teacher, Zhang Ran is not good for running to the girls' dormitory. You should avoid the suspicion that should be avoided.
The students in the class thought that the military training was over and everything returned to normal and they could sleep for a while. Unexpectedly, they woke up earlier than the military training. Most of the boys were listless, like eggplant caused by frost; their daughters were full of complaints and their mouths were pouting, so they could even hang oil bottles.
Zhang Ran looked at the students in the class and smiled and said, "The content of the line class should have been taught by Teacher Chen, but I am in charge of the morning exercises. Today, I can't let you be stunned here. I will teach you the first lesson. Who has done morning exercises before? Do you know why you need to do morning exercises?"
Three or four students in the crowd raised their hands.
Zhang Ran waved to Cao Bingkun. Cao Bingkun attended a training class and ran a supporting role at the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio. His understanding of performance was deeper than that of others: "Cao Bingkun, come here!"
Cao Bingkun walked up to Zhang Ran, bowed and said, "Teacher, what are the instructions?"
Zhang Ran said: "You have attended the training class of Beijing Electric and received training. Let me tell you why you need to do morning exercises!"
Before taking the Beijing Film Academy exam, Cao Bingkun attended the Beijing Film Academy night school for a year. He still knew a little about this knowledge and started talking about it.
Performance is a very specialized knowledge, not the superficial thing that the audience sees on TV to make expressions and moves. Generally, the actors will emphasize the progress of lines, vocal music, form and performance.
When an actor faces hundreds of audiences on the stage, you must speak so that the audience can hear, hear clearly, understand, expressive, and charming. There is a jargon "The voice is talented, and you must work hard in your mouth", which means that the voice will not be sonorous without training.
Therefore, students in the performance department should get up and practice like traditional drama actors every morning, and call morning exercises. In addition to basic physical movements such as leg pressing and lowering the waist, the most important thing is to practice sound.
In recent years, with the prosperity of the TV series market, as long as people who are more beautiful are brought to act, they are known as young and handsome. Of course, acting in TV series is indeed simple. If you do half a year of quality training and do not be nervous in front of the camera, you can fool the audience.
However, lines require hard work, and poor lines cannot fool the audience. Zhao Wei's acting skills are OK, but he has been criticized by the audience for many years because of his poor lines. Naturally, these people's acting skills and lines cannot be compared with Zhao Wei. How can the audience not be out of the play? It is saved by the performance of the voice actors.
Therefore, actors who can insist on using original soundtracks in domestic TV series generally have good acting skills. For this reason, the Golden Rooster Award stipulates that dubbing characters cannot participate in the selection of acting awards.
Zhang Ran didn't want the students he taught to have to rely on dubbing to act, which was simply a shame for his teacher. After Cao Bingkun finished speaking, he smiled and applauded, saying, "It was very good! Cao Bingkun, you can show you how to do Chengong normally, and do it now!"
"yes!"
Cao Bingkun moved his body, then stood still, his feet became outer horoscopes, shoulder-width, and took a breath and began to speak: "Hey, ha! Hey, ha..."
After "Hey Ha" was spoken, Cao Bingkun began to practice the four-tone rhyme, which is "Yeah, hey, ho", and then practiced the rumor: "One black, two black, three, four, five, six, seven black, eight, nine black, ten black, I bought a cigarette pipe ebony pole, and grabbed the two ends of a black..."
Hearing this, Zhang Ran found that Cao Bingkun's recitation was good, but he had a very serious problem. He immediately said: "Can you change the "Ode to Thunder and Lightning"?"
"Yes!" Cao Bingkun took a breath and recited passionately, "Wind! Roar! Roar! Roar as much as possible! In this dark and sunny time, everything fell asleep, sinking in dreams, and dead, it was the time when you should roar, and you should roar as much as possible..."
People in the performance department of "Ode to Thunder and Lightning" prefer it. When walking on the campus of Beijing Film Academy, if you hear someone suddenly say "Wind! You roar", you don't have to think that it is definitely from the performance department.
Cao Bingkun's recitation was full of emotions and natural emotions, giving people a sense of immersion and three-dimensional image. The recitation was quite good. The students in the class all started to talk in a low voice: "Wow, I didn't see that Cao's class is so powerful!"
"Yes, the voice is very loud and the words are clear. It's really amazing!"
"How can I practice it like an announcer?"
...
Zhang Ran shook his head and stared at Cao Bingkun and said coldly: "The sound is too dragged, it is not clean, and the sound is not penetrating. Haven't you eaten?"
Cao Bingkun thought to himself that I really didn't eat, so he bit his teeth, adjusted his breathing, and raised his voice.
In this way, his breath was not enough. After a few sentences, he would not have a loud voice, full mood, and even lost his normal rhythm. The whole recitation suddenly became a mess.
"Okay, you can stop!" Zhang Ran looked at Cao Bingkun, who was sweating and was chaotic in his breathing and shook his head and said, "Your voice is good, your pronunciation is very clear, and your stress is correct, but ignore a very critical issue - breathing, you can't use breathing, you can't breathe, and you won't steal air, so that's why. Good actors have to go on stage. A drama, two or three hours, according to your current state, you can't hold on to the half-time scene. You must learn to use breathing!"
Cao Bingkun had realized that there was something wrong with his breath, and Zhang Ran's words proved this even more, and asked expectantly: "Teacher Zhang, what should I do? Can you teach me?"
Zhang Ran nodded, this is nothing nonsense. You are my students. If I don’t teach you, who will teach you! Your eyes scanned the audience: "Today’s morning exercise, I will teach you everyone to breathe!"
A few people who have learned the morning gong somewhat understand what Zhang Ran said, but the others are you looking at me, and I look at you, and the expression of disdain on your face. Breathing? You need to teach me, who can’t breathe? This is too irritating!
Wang Luodan shouted: "Teacher Zhang, we are living people, and we can breathe. Do we need to learn to breathe?"
Zhang Ran glared at Wang Luodan fiercely, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think breathing is simple, right? OK, which student can tell me, what is the difference between breathing when a person is happy and when he is sad? What is the difference between breathing when he is surprised and when he is afraid? What is the difference between breathing when he is drunk and when he is crazy?"
All the students present were stunned. Even those who had attended training classes were stunned. Is there any difference between breathing when happy and sad? Are the breathing of surprise and fear different? No way!
"On the stage, according to the person's state, there are 15 ways of breathing, including joy, anger, sorrow, joy, shock, fear, worry, thought, epileptic, crazy, crazy, splash, swell, drunk, and sickness. That is to say, people's breathing is different in these 15 states. Therefore, when acting, actors should use the corresponding breathing method according to the character's state, so that the character's physiological state can be accurately expressed. For example, joy, happiness, breathing should be relaxed, and breathing is a state of slightly lifting air; when expressing grief, you should breathe deeply, breathing slowly, and exhale slowly. If you feel sorrowful, you should hold your breath and let the breath go to your eyelids. This is called sticking to air in Peking Opera."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ran paused for a moment, glanced across everyone's faces, and said with a high voice: "Acting is a technique, a pile of details. You can't even do the simplest and most basic things like breathing. What do you rely on to shape the characters? Who else thinks you know how to breathe now?"
The scene was silent, and the students present looked at Zhang Ran with awe. They were students from the performance department and had some contact with performance theory, but they had never heard of what Zhang Ran said. They realized that what Zhang Ran was going to teach was different from other teachers, and they were brand new.
Chapter completed!
