Chapter 484: Chest Resonance
After leaving the classroom, Zhang Ran took the students to the third floor of the cafeteria for dinner. He was very proud and made the students eat whatever they wanted.
However, the students in the class were a little restrained and embarrassed to order expensive ones. Only Yang Mi was not polite. She ordered a chicken and asked for another fish, and refused to save money for Zhang Ran.
After training for a whole morning, the students were indeed hungry and started eating and ate. Even Jiao Junyan, a girl who looked delicate, ate three bowls of rice.
After lunch, Zhang Ran asked the students to go back to the dormitory to rest, and he brought two assistants back to the office.
Guo Zhen and Yan Shuo looked at "vogue" and discussed in a low voice. "vogue" in September was the first issue, and each magazine actually sent a wallet worth more than 100 yuan, which made them look forward to the next October issue. Zhang Ran looked at the information sent by Liu Heng about the earthquake.
At almost two o'clock, a knock on the door sounded, and a figure walked into the office. Guo Zhen and Yan Shuo looked up and saw that it was Feng Yuan who was stunned and shouted in surprise: "Teacher Feng, why are you here?"
Feng Yuan was stunned and said to Zhang Rannu, "It's not your teacher Zhang. I said that the matter was caused by me, so I have to teach your class!"
Guo Zhen and the others giggled, it was indeed Teacher Zhang's style.
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Actually, I invite you to class, and I have strategic considerations!"
Feng Yuan pulled a chair and sat down: "It's also a strategy, why don't you say it's for world peace?"
Zhang Ran said seriously: "In Zhou Xingchi's movie "The King of Destruction", Zhou Xingchi deliberately ate and drank before fighting against the karate masters, and deliberately traveled around, making his opponent completely confused. I also plan to do this. If you teach our students, I go around showing off, and they will definitely not understand what is going on in the theater."
Feng Yuan was stunned but didn't believe it: "I think you just want to be lazy on purpose!"
Zhang Ran smiled and began to talk about his plans and the next teaching arrangements.
After Zhang Ran finished speaking, Feng Yuan was a little surprised: "You are crazy when practicing for seven hours a day, are you doing it? Professor Melsin went to the People's Art Theatre to teach us, and only practiced for four hours a day. Many people couldn't stand it and felt too tired. It was in the 1980s, when students at that time could endure harder than they are now. Later, I went to Germany to study, and only trained for five hours a day. How could students now bear such a large amount of exercise?"
Zhang Ran was very confident about this: "I studied in the United States and practiced for eight hours every day. The students in our class were strictly selected, most of them had learned dance, they were particularly hard-working and had a strong willpower. I believe they could do it!"
Feng Yuan stared at Zhang Ran for several seconds and said two words: "Crazy!"
At half past two, Zhang Ran and his team entered the classroom.
The students in the class were a little surprised when they saw Feng Yuan, and they didn't understand why he appeared here, so they started to talk in a low voice.
Zhang Ran clapped his hands and waited for the students to calm down, and said, "We have come into contact with Grotovsky in China, but only two people have truly received Grotovsky system training, one is me, and the other is Teacher Feng Yuanzai. He received pure Grotovsky training and has rich experience. In the next month, he was mainly responsible for everyone's training, so I will beat the edge drum!" He squeezed at Feng Yuan: "Teacher Feng, let me tell you a few words!"
Feng Yuan was stunned with a stern face, with a very serious expression, and his cold eyes swept across the students' faces, and said in a somewhat cunning voice: "In the next month, I will conduct strict training for you. Performance training is a practice, and everyone is welcome to hell!"
When the students heard the creepy, Feng Yuanzai in front of him looked exactly the same as Chen Wei, the demon teacher in "Explosive Drummer". They felt that their hearts suddenly reached their throats and their whole bodies became nervous.
Guo Zhen and Yan Shuo were a little laughed. Feng Yuanzai's acting skills were so good, and this white-faced pretended to be too similar.
Zhang Ran waved to Yang Mi: "Yang Mi, come out and we will go to the classroom next door to train!"
"Oh!" Yang Mi patted her chest and walked to Zhang Ran in surprise. Feng Yuan was so scary, so it would be better to train with Xiao Ranran!
Feng Yuan cleared his throat and said, "Okay, let's start class. The actor's performance mainly depends on body shape and lines. It can be said that the lines are half of the actor's life..."
Zhang Ran took Yang Mi and Guo Zhen into the free classroom next to him and asked Yang Mi to stand in the middle of the classroom. He looked at Yang Mi and said with a straight face: "Actually, your biggest problem is not your body, but your voice. Your voice is thin, and it sounds sharp and harsh, making people feel uncomfortable. If an actor's voice makes the audience feel uncomfortable, it will be more difficult to get the audience's recognition! So we have to change your voice to make your voice as pleasant as possible."
Yang Mi bit her lip. Zhang Ran was not the first to say that her voice was harsh, but she still heard this a little harsh.
Zhang Ran didn't care what Yang Mi thought, and talked about the joint breathing of chest and abdomen, then demonstrated it personally, and then asked Yang Mi to start practicing, and at the same time let Guo Zhen feel Yang Mi's breathing state and correct her breathing movements.
Yang Fan is very smart. He fully mastered the combined breathing in just a few minutes. The use of the entire breath and the movement of muscles are as decent.
Zhang Ran was very satisfied with this and said with a smile: "Practicing breathing alone cannot change your voice. To change your voice state, the key lies in the use of resonance cavity. People who have learned vocal music know that the three major resonance cavity of the human body are the head cavity, the chest cavity and the abdominal cavity. However, Grotowski has different views. He believes that the human body has countless resonance cavity, including five of the most important resonance cavity, the head, the chest cavity, the nasal cavity, the throat cavity, and the occipital bone. Grotowski believes that truly excellent actors should master a variety of resonators, be proficient in using them as needed, or even use them in a mixed manner.
Your voice is thin and sounds sharp and harsh. It is particularly important to use chest resonance. Chest resonance can make our voice solid, round, full, wide and powerful. The key to using the resonance cavity lies in the use of breath. When we squeeze the air column and enter the resonance cavity, the sound can be changed. The combined breathing we just did can produce the air column we need. Let’s learn chest resonance. Now follow me, open your mouth slightly, relax your throat, and relax your throat."
Yang Mi follows her example, opening her mouth slightly, relaxing her throat, and relaxing her throat.
"The chest resonance needs to find the fulcrum of resonance. When we sing, we vocal cords seem to be not in our throat, but grow on our chest. This is the function of the fulcrum. The fulcrum of the chest is the balance point of breath. When we speak and sing, put the breath on the fulcrum, and the resonance of the sound can reach the best state!" At this point, Zhang Ran pressed on his chest, "This fulcrum is probably at the second button on our chest."
It takes time to find the exact position of the fulcrum of the chest cavity, but Zhang Ran doesn't want to waste too much time on it. If it is a boy, Zhang Ran will get started directly, but Yang Mi is a girl, so she can only let Guo Zhen come.
Guo Zhen pressed Yang Mi's chest and tossed for more than ten minutes before Yang Mi found the exact position and learned to use this fulcrum.
Zhang Ran clapped his hands and said, "Let's practice. The practice of chest resonance usually uses the third tone Chinese characters. For example, OK, let's talk to me, OK."
Yang Mi followed Zhang Ran and said, "Okay"
"Beautiful seas and seas roar..."
"Beautiful seas and seas roar..."
Zhang Ran reminded: "Two points should be paid attention to when resonating the chest cavity. First, relax the throat, and the second is to move the fulcrum. Let's practice with some words to swim in a calm and elegant way..."
"Swim in the elegance of the sun..."
Zhang Ran first practiced words with Yang Mi, then practiced idioms with her, and then took out the article she recited during the art exam for her to recite. The whole exercise lasted for a class.
In the second class, Zhang Ran asked Yang Mi to stand in the middle of the classroom: "Now you speak to the wall, use your chest cavity, and the sound comes from it. The content of the speech is not limited, and you can say whatever you want. But pay attention, when the echo formed by the wall is transmitted, you will immediately say the next sentence. Simply put, you are talking to the wall, asking and answering questions, do you understand?"
Yang Mi scratched her head: "Is it okay to say anything?"
Zhang Ran said: "Anything is OK, but don't think about what to say, don't pause, come out casually, start now!"
Yang Mi took a breath: "Kakashi, what are you doing?" When she heard the echo of the wall, she immediately said: "I like you so much!" The echo of the wall quickly rebounded. She thought about what she should say and said: "I..."
Zhang Ran interrupted Yang Mi's words and shouted: "Stop, I've said that, don't think about the content of the conversation, like chatting with friends casually, and you have to blurt out!"
Yang Mi felt that this was too difficult. He had something to say when chatting with his friend. He naturally knew what he should say when he heard him. But now this is an echo, what he said, so I don’t think about how to say the next sentence? But she also understood that Zhang Ran would definitely not talk randomly, and this training would definitely work. She thought for a while and shouted at the wall: "My name is Yang Mi, what are your name..."
Without saying a few words, Zhang Ran called out again: "This is improvisation, don't pause!"
After practicing over and over again for a while, Yang Mi finally found a trick, treating the wall as a quarrel. When people quarrel, they often don’t have to listen carefully to what the other party says, just spray it down one by one. Yang Mi took a breath: "Zhang Lu'er, you are so hateful! Big Bad guy..."
Zhang Ran was quite satisfied with Yang Mi's performance. This girl was very clever and actually quarreled with the wall! But as he listened, he felt something was wrong. He didn't let you train? Let you walk around? Damn, this dead girl is scolding me!
At the end of the second class, Zhang Ran came to the next classroom. The boys were covered in sweat and were sitting on the ground panting; the girls looked pale and looked exhausted. At this moment, Chen Jie suddenly stood up, ran to the wall, and held the wall and started to retching violently.
Grotowsky's training is indeed too hard and most people can't bear it at all. However, Class 05, Class 1 did not reduce the amount of training, and it was always seven hours a day. After training every day, the students were like sludge and could not even help them.
05 The students in Class 1 of Table of Contents complained that the training was too hard during rest, and also complained that Zhang Ran and Feng Yuan were practicing as robots. However, when the training officially began, everyone was fully committed and gritted their teeth and insisted on training.
A week passed quickly and National Day was coming soon. Students from other classes were smiling and discussing where to go for the National Day holiday, but the students from Class 1 of Phone 05 could not laugh. Zhang Ran said that there will be no holiday on National Day and training as usual.
On the 31st day, Zhang Ran organized a special training. He could see that after a week of training, the students were really tired. In addition, the holiday was approaching, everyone felt a little tired, and he needed to cheer them up through this training. (To be continued.)
