Chapter Nineteen
There are many students in the Performance Department at Level 98 and Level 99 who are taking part in the role outside. The teacher is relatively relaxed in the morning tuition, and not many people are present. However, the performance department students in Level 00 and Level 01 junior college classes are present, and the class teacher is also present.
Students in the 00s have developed the habit of doing morning exercises themselves. They don’t need the teacher to guide them, just practice them by themselves. Teacher Cui Xinqin from the undergraduate class and teacher Huang Lei from the junior college class stood beside them, looking at the freshmen from the 01 class, and talking in a low voice.
Both are famous teachers in the performance department of Beijing Film Academy, especially Teacher Cui Xinqin. She is a well-deserved star teacher of Beijing Film Academy. The level 1996 she taught is a famous star class of Beijing Film Academy, as famous as the level 1996 star class of Chang Li of the Central Academy of Drama. Zhao Wei, Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming are all her students.
Cui Xinqin was quite surprised by Zhang Ran's argument about breathing. Breathing is very important to the actors, but she has only heard of this level of training when emphasizing breathing: "Zhang Ran returned from the United States, but what he is talking about now does not mean things, but Grotovsky's training method!"
There are two most famous performance systems in the world, namely the Stani system and the Brecht system, which are commonly known as the experiential school and the expression school. However, there are many unique performance schools outside these two systems, such as Chinese Peking Opera, Japanese None Opera, Indian Katakali Dance Drama, etc., and the Grotovsky School is also one of them.
Grotowsky, Stanis, Brecht, and Aalto, was also known as the four major drama theorists of the 20th century, and had a profound influence. The biggest difference between Grotowsky and other genres is that Grotowsky believes that anyone, as long as his IQ is fine, has the potential to become a good actor, just like everyone carries a certain amount of gold. The difference is that I exposed three or four kilograms and you only exposed half a kilogram. As long as an actor passes strict training, he may discover his potential.
Therefore, the training of Grotovsky's school is quite strict, and it can even be said to be strict, which is similar to the emphasis on Peking Opera that one minute is the best off the stage. In fact, Grotovsky was indeed influenced by Chinese Peking Opera. Many of his training methods come from Peking Opera, and there are many records of Peking Opera training methods in his "Towards Simple Drama".
Huang Lei nodded. He knew some of Grotovsky's training methods. He was friends with Feng Yuanzheng, and Feng Yuanzheng was the only successor of the Grotovsky school in China: "It is indeed Grotovsky's training methods. Only their training for actors is so strict, and they emphasize this level of breathing!"
Cui Xinqin felt strange: "Isn't Zhang Ran a method school? Why did you teach Grotovsky's things?"
Huang Lei shook his head and looked at the students in Zhang Ran's class and smiled: "I don't know, but Grotovsky's training is famous for its strictness. If Zhang Ran trains in this way, these bastards will suffer!"
Cui Xinqin agreed with Huang Lei's point of view: "The students in their class are average and there is no one particularly outstanding. If they can really train according to Grotovsky's method, they may be able to produce one or two acting schools."
Zhang Ran didn't know the comments of the two colleagues. He looked at the whole class and felt the awe and expectation in their eyes. However, he felt that this was not enough. He had to completely conquer these children so that the teaching could be carried out smoothly in the future. He turned his head and asked Zhou Zheng: "Teacher Zhou, have you seen "My 1919"?"
"My 1919" is a historical feature film released in 1999, starring Chen Daoming. In 1919, the Chinese delegation participating in the Paris Peace Conference refused to sign the "Versailles Peace Agreement", which shocked the world. The film is based on this and tells the story of the experience of Gu Weijun, a Chinese diplomatic talent, attending the Paris Peace Conference as a member of the Chinese delegation.
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I've seen it!"
Zhang Ran said: "We will do the scene when Gu Weijun refuted Baron Muye. I will play Gu Weijun, and you will play Baron Muye, how about you?"
"No problem, I will play Baron Makino, then I will come first!"
"Okay, come first!"
Zhou Zheng took a step forward, coughed, raised his head slightly, and began to give a speech: "His Excellency Chairman, regarding the Shandong issue, the Japanese and Chinese governments have signed twenty-one articles, and there is no need to discuss it at this meeting..."
Li Xinyue secretly praised in her heart. Zhou Zheng was acting very well, perfectly showing the Japanese pride and pride. However, Zhou Zheng was very imposing, so Zhang Ran would not be able to act next.
This scene is a scene where Gu Weijun refuted Baron Muye. If Gu Weijun's momentum is weaker than Baron Muye, can it still be called a refutation? Therefore, Gu Weijun must overwhelm Baron Muye in terms of momentum. Now Zhou Zheng is very powerful, so the difficulty of Zhang Ran's performance has increased.
Li Xinyue had never seen Zhang Ran act and didn't know what his strength was. If this scene could not defeat Zhou Zheng, it would be embarrassing in front of the students. Then he would no longer have any prestige in the eyes of the students, and she couldn't help but worry.
The students in the class whispered: "This seems to be the line in "My 1919". Teacher Zhou quietly said, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful!"
"Who do you think Teacher Zhang or Teacher Zhou is better? I think it's Teacher Zhou, and Teacher Zhou is obviously a powerful person!"
"It must be Teacher Zhang. My teacher Zhang is so handsome!"
"I also think it's Teacher Zhang, otherwise it's Teacher Zhou who should be the head teacher. I'm optimistic about Teacher Zhang!"
...
Teacher Cui and Huang Lei looked at each other and sighed in their hearts that Zhou Zheng is worthy of being a graduate student led by Dean Chen. He has a deep foundation and many well-known actors are beyond the reach. He has no problem joining the drama troupe. I don’t know how Zhang Ran performs!
Both of them were very excited about Zhang Ran's performance. Zhang Ran was a talented person who came back from abroad, and everyone was counting on learning something new from him. They walked over with a focused look, stood at the best viewing position, and waited for Zhang Ran's performance.
"China is a victorious country without a soldier. What kind of face does such a victorious country have to come to this venue? I don't know what courage they have to speak on this podium!" Zhou Zheng finished his last line, bowed and bowed, then walked proudly among the students and handed the stage to Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran walked up to the "podium" with a cold face and made a move to put the bag on it, as if there was a podium, and he really had a bag in his hand. He looked at the audience "offstage" and said in a thick and penetrating voice: "Please allow me to show you something before the official speech." As he said that, Zhang Ran took out the watch and lit it.
Zhou Zheng was slightly stunned when he saw the watch in Zhang Ran's hand, and then shouted: "That, that's my pocket watch!"
"Before entering the venue, Mr. Makino wanted to please me." Zhang Ran jokingly looked at the watch in his hand, then raised it and lit it up to everyone, "Give me this gold watch."
Makino is the representative of Japan, Japan is a strong country, and China is a weak country. The representative of China who is despised by itself not only "stealed" his own expressions, but also slandered himself to please him. Makino's anger can be imagined.
Zhou Zheng perfectly showed Baron Makino's anger, his face was a little distorted, and he shouted: "I protest, this is theft! The Chinese representative stole my pocket watch, this is theft! Shameless, extreme shameless!"
"Baron Makino is angry, he is really angry! I stole his gold watch." Zhang Ran raised his head and looked at Zhou Zheng coldly, his eyes burning with anger, "Then I want to ask Baron Makino!"
Zhang Ran's momentum burst out, like a tide pouring out, sweeping through the air, the entire scene was silent, and all eyes were focused on him.
Li Xinyue was stunned, a light of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she laughed. I am really worried. Since Zhang Ran dared to act in this part, he must be sure!
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ran completely broke out, and his whole person showed a strong aura: "You Japan stole the entire Shandong Province in front of the whole world. Should the 36 million people in Shandong Province be angry? Should the 400 million Chinese people be angry? Is this behavior of Japan considered stealing? Is it shameless? Is it extremely shameless!!"
When he said the last sentence "Is it extremely shameless?", Zhang Ran mobilized all his strength, so that his arm could not help but waved, as if he was cheering himself up.
The student standing a few meters away felt a strong aura coming towards him, his whole body was shocked, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
Wow, it's so awesome!
The students stared at Zhang Ran in a daze, their eyes shining and their faces were full of admiration, just like the little fans saw the big star they admired.
Although Zhou Zheng was not as shocked as a student, his heart also jumped suddenly. At this moment, he didn't even dare to look at Zhang Ran. Zhang Ran's momentum was so strong that he was shocked!
Gu Weijun went to the Paris Peace Conference to fight for China's rights and interests. As a diplomat, he must maintain his own demeanor, which represents the image of China. Therefore, after refuting Baron Makino, he must peacefully state China's views.
Zhang Ran quickly restrained his anger and stated in a very penetrating but very peaceful tone: "Shandong is the cradle of Chinese culture. The Chinese saints Confucius and Mencius were born on this land. Confucius is like the Jesus of the West. Shandong is China, both economically and strategically, and religiously and culturally. China cannot lose Shandong, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem!"
This line is very peaceful. The students have a shallow understanding of the performance and don’t know how powerful it is. However, Huang Lei and Cui Xinqin’s eyebrows jumped, and a word suddenly popped up in their hearts - to be free to relax!
