Chapter 76 A shortcut to improve your acting skills?
The acting teachers at Yanying School should be of the experiential approach, and what they teach basically emphasizes the importance of life and daily observation.
For example, the source of life is the life of performance creation.
Or observing life is to accumulate knowledge; the more knowledge you accumulate, the richer your imagination will be; without imagination, you cannot be an actor.
……
Views such as this.
I can’t say it’s wrong, but it’s not that useful to Chen Linfeng.
His memory is so good that he can perfectly recall the emotions of a certain moment in the past.
This is almost the best experiential school, and you can learn it without any teaching.
However, when he was filming in Houzhuan, he realized something.
Sometimes having a good memory is not necessarily a good thing, at least in terms of acting, it has an impact.
Characters like Nezha have very little similarity with Chen Linfeng’s past.
If he really relies on experiencing past emotions to act, the recalled emotions will be too clear and intense, which will lead to a mismatch with the role he wants to play, because the role itself does not require such intense emotions.
In the end, this factor that should be an advantage sometimes becomes useless.
At that time, Chen Linfeng specifically gave up the ability to recall emotions and relied entirely on his own ideas to try to play Nezha.
This is also the reason why he specifically asked the director to correct him more at that time, because he was not sure whether his performance was good or not.
So the views of the experientialists apply to him, but the scope of application is very narrow.
Only when he plays a character that is very consistent with his past experience, his ultimate memory of emotions will be a huge blessing to him.
Of course, if he really encounters such a role, his acting level may be regarded as the ceiling of the experience school.
However, if you want to be an excellent actor, you will always encounter various roles.
At this time, if he could not turn on the memory hook to empathize and mobilize his emotions, Chen Linfeng would be missing a big weapon.
He has been thinking about how to solve this problem.
Until he met these big guys in Renyi.
When they perform drama performances, it is obvious that they are not experiential, but more expressionistic.
Just like how to be a soldier, I once practiced more than 50 times just to lift the door curtain.
They also value emotional separation and emphasize manipulation and design.
When Liang Guanhua was telling Chen Linfeng this paragraph, he also performed several common action designs for him on the stage, performing them with different identities, including men and women, with different identities. Not the same.
Although Liang Guanhua is a fat middle-aged man, through his design, he can express the charm of a woman or the restlessness of a young child, and the effect looks very good.
Chen Linfeng’s eyes lit up.
No wonder Expressionism has become one of the three major factions of performance theory and has been studied and used by people.
Although Liang Guanhua is the result of decades of experience, it at least shows that this way of performing through manipulation and design is also reasonable.
At this time, Chen Linfeng suddenly remembered the way he had memorized a lot of question types and problem-solving ideas a few months ago in order to cope with the upcoming college entrance examination mathematics problems.
Isn’t this somewhat different from the expressionist’s usual way of accumulation?
Chen Linfeng was afraid of making a joke, so he did not tell others his thoughts for the time being.
In order to further confirm his ideas, in the next period of time, he searched for a large number of performance theory books in the library.
At this time, the time has come to October.
Pirates of the Caribbean was recently released in mainland China, and Chen Linfeng’s several important soundtracks were noticed by industry insiders and the media.
In fact, in July, the movie has already been released in Emily Kendall, but most people will not pay attention to the people behind the movie, and the American practitioners will not tell the Chinese media specifically. The news will not be released for the time being. It was not spread to the country.
Now the news spread all of a sudden.
The soundtrack in Pirates of the Caribbean is really good enough and catchy enough.
People in the music production industry are not surprised, because a few years ago, when Chen Linfeng released pure music albums one after another, the music industry was already very aware of his capabilities.
Everyone has spoken highly of it from the beginning. This time it was just that things were a little too big and it went out of the circle. The media practitioners had no idea what was going on. They just thought it was a thunderclap and they were stunned.
“Chen Linfeng can actually score music?”
“How many talents does he have yet to show off?”
"Looking at Chen Linfeng's music experience, it turns out that he has also released several music albums."
"A person who can serve as a soundtrack engineer in a Hollywood blockbuster has a pre-emptive pure music album. What is the Chinese music market?" What’s wrong, I fell into deep reflection.”
Netizens were also shocked.
[Wandering all my life]: Haha, I don’t know why, I don’t feel shocked at all (convex (艹三艹))
[Leaving only half of the sadness]: This person is cheating, I beg you Apply for Sanctions
[Can’t Remain Moved]: Does anyone remember the newspaper report a few years ago that Chen Linfeng composed the soundtrack for the sequel to Journey to the West? I thought I was wrong at the time
[Circle you, you’re a cross]: Also It seems that people have started this matter a long time ago, and it is not a skill that suddenly appeared recently
[Gray Memory]: I don’t know why, I heard that he composed the soundtrack for Pirates of the Caribbean, and suddenly I felt that the movie was out of style.
[The wild cat]: Shouldn’t it be Chen Linfeng’s strong character? What’s the brain circuit upstairs?
【Reverse Flow of Tears-】: Hey, what a genius
...
My classmates at school have been looking at Chen Linfeng a little strangely recently.
He knew the reason and had no choice but to complain to Liu Qianqian.
"Ha", Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes and showed her little fist.
“I really want to beat you up.”
Liu Qianqian is going to Bay Island to film "Love in May", and Shu Chang also went to the crew of "Young Imperial Envoy" to play the heroine some time ago.
Chen Linfeng was about to send her off now.
"When I come back, remember to tell me how you got noticed by Disney."
"Okay, remember to study your acting skills when you get to the set. I am..."
Chen Linfeng swallowed the second half of the sentence.
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, bye"
Chen Linfeng said goodbye to Liu Qianqian, and then found Cui Xinqin, the teacher of the acting class.
It’s time to test whether his conjecture is feasible!
"Teacher Cui, are you busy?" Chen Linfeng opened the office door.
"It's Xiao Chen, what's the matter with you coming here?" Cui Xinqin was reading the newspaper. When she saw someone coming, she put down the newspaper in her hand.
"I have been taking your class for more than a month. I have some ideas about performance and would like to hear your opinion."
"Oh? Tell me." Cui Xinqin excerpt He took off his reading glasses and asked with interest.
This writer Xiao Chen is a well-known genius, and she is very interested in genius ideas.
Chen Linfeng began to talk about his thoughts.
In fact, this idea suddenly came to me when I was overcoming a math problem before the college entrance examination.
He may not be able to understand some extremely difficult questions, but why did he get nearly full marks in the college entrance examination mathematics?
It is because he memorized all the question types in this category, including the ideas for solving them, clearly in his mind.
At that time, he had an idea, with his perfect reproduction level memory, whether the acting method could also be mastered through memory.
Although it is said that when someone is acting, there are countless ways to act.
But in fact, no matter how large the reserve is, it is still finite.
After taking an acting class for a month, I learned some things from the big guys in Renyi and learned some about the differences between expressionism and experientialism.
Chen Linfeng's idea became more and more intense.
“I’m wondering if I can use an exhaustive method to memorize all the commonly used and uncommon acting methods.
Category into an acting library for those who actually act. It’s time to use it when you have a choice.”
Cui Xinqin's first reaction was that it was impossible.
