Chapter 20 Combined Breathing

When Zhang Yimou was filming "Return", he commented on Gong Li this way: "I think the eight words to evaluate her are free to restrain and relax, and the eight words are moderate. It is very common to everyone, but it is difficult for anyone to do it in performance. A good actor like Gong Li can do these eight words at this age after life experience and precipitation."

As Zhang Yimou said, it is simple to control and relax, but it is very difficult to really do it. Many actors act to a certain extent and will be patterned. The roles they play look the same. Siqin Gaowa, Jiang Wen, etc., many actors with excellent acting skills are like this. Chen Daoming also says that everything he plays is carved out of the same mold. In fact, it is not only domestic actors, but also foreigners. When Ang Lee recalled the filming experience of "Reason and Emotion", he said that senior actors are too mature and prone to craftsmanship.

This is not a problem of acting skills at all. Many times, because these actors are too big, the director cannot control them and dare not guide them, but has to obey their command. Jiang Wen's filming "Looking for Gun" has put an aside, and Chen Daoming likes to modify the script is not news. The director cannot control the venue and let the actors play freely. The actors often act according to their familiar routines. In this way, the performance is particularly easy to be patterned and easily lose control.

When they meet a director who can calm the scene, the director will control it and often perform well. For example, when Chen Daoming meets Zhang Yimou, he will give a textbook-like performance in "Return".

Cui Xinqin and the others thought of freely following Zhang Ran's performance. It was not that Zhang Ran's performance reached the level of Chen Daoming. In fact, he was still far from that. He was acting in this scene completely in the way of Chen Daoming. However, during the performance, Zhang Ran exploded when it was time to explode, and took it back when it was time to collect it, and it was more appropriate to take it. For a young man in his twenties, it was very rare to do this.

The performance continues.

"Dear Chairman, dear delegates, I am very happy to be able to represent China in this meeting. I feel a great responsibility because I represent China, which accounts for one-quarter of the world's population, speak here. Mr. Makino just said that China is a victorious country without sending troops and one soldier, which is ignoring the minimum facts. Please see!" Zhang Ran picked up a "photo" from the "podium" and shone to everyone. "During the war, China sent 140,000 laborers to Europe, and they were all over the battlefield. They were bleeding and sacrificed like all the soldiers of the victorious country. I would like to see another photo of the Chinese cemetery that died on the French battlefield."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ran picked up the "photo" again and showed everyone: "There are more than a dozen such cemeteries in France and Europe. Most of them are from Shandong Province in China! What are they for?"

Zhang Ran raised his voice and the majestic momentum broke out again: "It is to win this war and return peace and tranquility in his own home!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ran restrained his momentum and made his final statement in a peaceful tone: "Therefore, the Chinese delegation firmly believes that when discussing the issue of Shandong Province in China, the meeting will take into account China's basic legitimate rights and interests, that is, sovereignty and territorial integrity, otherwise there will be countless souls in Asia crying and the world will not be peaceful! My words are over, thank you!"

Slap—

Cui Xinqin was the first to applaud, Huang Lei followed, and the other students onlookers also applauded. The applause was like thunder, and the city soared into the sky, almost catching up with the curtain call of the People's Art Theater stage.

The students in Zhang Ran’s class did not applaud. They were irrepressible with excitement, like a group of bees, and kept chattering around Zhang Ran.

"Teacher Zhang, your lines are read so well. I am so moved that I am almost crying!"

"Teacher Zhang, you're almost playing Chen Daoming!"

"Idiot, how can Chen Daoming compare with our Teacher Zhang? Our Teacher Zhang is much better than him!"

"Teacher Zhang, do you have a girlfriend?" Well, what's the problem!

...

The two class teachers of the 2001 junior college class, Wang Jingsong and Hu Weiguo, did not go close to watch Zhang Ran's performance, but they still saw Zhang Ran's performance clearly.

Wang Jingsong's face was full of incredible expressions. Zhang Ran's lines were beyond his expectations and were too powerful. To be honest, Zhang Ran was the head teacher of the undergraduate class, and he, an old teacher, actually taught in the junior college class. He had some objections, but at this moment the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared and he was convinced.

Hu Wei's heart was as shocked as the waves in his country, and he was extremely shocked. Damn, Zhang Ran's lines were so good, how could this be possible? No, I can't lose to him! He stood up with a gloomy face, stared at the students in his class, and roared loudly: "What are you looking at? Practice it quickly. If you don't practice well, you are not allowed to eat!"

Cui Xinqin and Huang Lei were relatively close, and Zhang Ran could hear every line clearly, and they were completely conquered.

The movie "My 1919" is played by Chen Daoming as Gu Weijun. Chen Daoming's profound lines are recognized in the industry. Chen Daoming grasped the role of Gu Weijun very well, played it to the fullest, and finally won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor.

Zhang Ran's lines are undoubtedly inferior to Chen Daoming, but Zhang Ran's grasp of the characters' emotions is not inferior to Chen Daoming. Especially when he states the Chinese position, his words are very peaceful, but there is a strong sense of worry and anger under this peace. He accurately grasped Gu Weijun's inner state.

China is a victorious country and has made great efforts in the war, but it does not receive the respect it deserves in Paris. As a Chinese, how can we not be sad or angry? However, Gu Weijun is the representative of China. When speaking on behalf of China, he must maintain China's demeanor. Therefore, Gu Weijun tried his best to suppress his inner emotions and completed his statement in peaceful words.

Cui Xinqin looked at Zhang Ran, shook his head, and said with emotion: "Zhang Ran is only twenty-four or fifteen years old. He is so relaxed and has a very good sense of control. It is really hard to believe that he did it. How did he, a young man like him, understand Gu Weijun's mood at the Paris Peace Conference, how did he do it so young?"

Huang Lei thought for a while and said, "Maybe it has something to do with his experience. He has been abroad for several years and learned performances. I don't know how much cold eyes and ridicule he has received. This is similar to what Gu Weijun had experienced at the Paris Peace Conference."

Cui Xinqin felt that this was reasonable: "Life is the best teacher. He is a person with life. Coupled with Stani's experience, Grotowsky's control over the body, the students in their class will be very terrible in the future!"

Huang Lei chuckled softly when he heard this: "Sister Cui, maybe your 96-level star class will be surpassed, and they will become the new star class!"

The 96-level star class is Cui Xinqin's pride. She is very confident in her students and smiled indifferently: "It is not easy to surpass Zhao Wei and others. If Zhang Ran thinks it can be done, then he can try it!" As she said that, she laughed again: "If you really surpass it, then I will have a credit for me. Xinyue is my student!"

Huang Lei laughed: "Why don't you lose money if you are with you!"

Three women play one, three women can beat a thousand ducks! Now more than a dozen girls talk around Zhang Ran, and in a moment, thousands of ducks were flying in the sky, covering the sky and covering the sun.

Zhang Ran felt that his ears were almost deaf, and he said loudly: "Why are you making a fuss? Hurry up and stand up for me, and all those who are slow to move will be driven out of the sect!"

The students in the class burst into laughter, but they still quickly lined up, waiting for Zhang Ran to attend class with anticipation.

Zhang Ran saw that the students were full of emotions and were shining in their eyes, and was very satisfied: "Do you see if I have sweat on my head or breathing disorder? None of them. This is the role of breathing. For an actor, if you want to perform a good show, learning to breathe is the first step! Now I will teach you how to breathe."

As he said that, Zhang Ran's steps were apart, shoulder-width, and at the same time put his hands above his waist and below his weakness, he shouted: "There are three types of human breathing, chest breathing, abdominal breathing, and chest and abdomen combined breathing. Among them, combined breathing can use all the respiratory muscle groups of the human body, expand the volume of the lungs, which is most in line with the laws of physiological movement. Peking Opera actors say that qi takes the dantian, straightens the chest and tightens the abdomen, and this is the method! As actors, we must be accustomed to this kind of breathing and must be good at controlling the role of the respiratory organs, so that the performance can reach the best state."

After saying that, he first explained in detail how to operate joint breathing, how to inhale, exhale, and how to move the abdominal ribs. Then he demonstrated how to do joint breathing by himself.

Combined breathing involves the movement of internal organs. If not properly handled, it will cause inflammation of the organs and even mental disorders. Therefore, you must practice under the guidance of the teacher at the beginning.

Cao Bingkun has a solid basic skills, and he can get twice the result with half the effort when he learns things. After Zhang Ran finished his demonstration, he mastered the key points and learned them in a similar way.

Zhang Ran walked over and pressed Cao Bingkun's ribs with both hands, let him inhale and exhale, and feel the movement of his chest, abdomen and ribs. After Cao Bingkun finished exhale, Zhang Ran nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you have learned to guide other students to practice!"

After saying that, Zhang Ran walked to Ji Chen and guided him to practice. Ji Chen practiced twice and quickly mastered the key points. Zhang Ran withdrew his hand and walked towards Jia Niaoliang, preparing to guide Jia Niaoliang to practice.

When the girls in the class saw that Zhang Ran only taught boys, but no matter how much the girls were, they immediately stopped, and protested to Zhang Ran: "Teacher Zhang, you are too partial. You only teach boys, but don't care about us girls!"

"Yes, too biased, protest, protest strongly!"

"Teacher Zhang, it's enough for Cao Ban and others to teach boys. Come and teach us girls!"

"Precise, Teacher Zhang is partial!"
