Chapter 183 Performance Class

The day after the online album premiere, Lu Ziliang invited the performance teacher.

The man was about 40 years old, wearing casual clothes and glasses, and was dressed very normally. The only difference was that he had a beard, which was very neatly groomed. In ancient times, people grew beards to show their determination, but nowadays, few men in China have the habit of growing beards.

"Hello, my name is Nie Peisheng." The other party extended his hand to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui stretched out his hand and shook his: "Hello, I'm Xu Rui, then I'll call you Teacher Nie."

"You can call me anything." Nie Peisheng smiled and nodded, "Let me ask, have you accepted any role? This crash training in our industry is definitely different from the teaching in regular schools. If you have accepted a role, we will practice directly according to the role you play."

"Not yet." Xu Rui smiled, "I have been reading "The Self-cultivation of Actors" these two days."

"Haha, it will definitely not hurt to read it, but there are ways to cram at the last minute. Acting is not only about learning, but also about talent, just like singing. The ability to get into the play is one of them, or in other words, the ability to empathize.

I have met many people who do not have strong enough empathy and cannot get into the script. If you cannot become this role, but just play this role, then no matter how good your acting skills are, it will not work. Many audiences often say that it is stiff!

Some people are born actors, some people cannot do it no matter how much they practice, of course I am not saying that acting is not important. Acting can help actors get into roles. The better the acting, the faster they can get into roles.

How to train acting skills? Learn more and observe more. This is a process of accumulation, such as the control of facial expressions and the expression of emotions. For example, when expressing anger, some people roar when they are angry, some people are silent when they are angry, and some people smash things when they are angry.

As for roaring, it is also different. Some people are ferocious, some are serious, and different people have different body language when roaring, which is determined by factors such as the character's growth environment, education level, and reason for anger.

You are angry in this play today and you throw things. You may be angry in another play tomorrow and you may be angry and say nothing. How to judge how to be angry is back to learning, observation, and accumulation!

Anger is like this, happiness and sadness are like this. In order to make you feel more intuitive, I have prepared some learning materials. Let's watch it together. I will explain it to you while watching. "

After getting to know each other, Nie Peisheng didn't talk nonsense with him at all and went straight into the teaching state.

His USB drive contains not only a lot of excerpts from movies and TV dramas, but also a lot of news and current affairs reports. The former are acting, while the latter are real things that happened in life.

Nie Peisheng pointed at the screen and said, "You see, there is no fixed pattern for acting. This is a photo of me going to a university campus to watch graduates taking graduation photos. It was the same graduation. You see some people were crying and hugging each other, some were happy and smiling, and these few people had expressions of reluctance. This one is very interesting, with a blank expression, as if it had nothing to do with him."

Xu Rui suddenly said, "Maybe he failed a grade."

Nie Peisheng was speechless: "If he failed a grade, he wouldn't take a graduation photo."

Xu Rui argued, "We were classmates for four years, and it's not good to not take him to the graduation photo just because he failed a grade."

Nie Peisheng thought for a while and said, "That should be envy, sadness or shame."

"Maybe because of his growth environment, education level and failure to take a grade, he is very calm." Xu Rui learned and applied.

Nie Peisheng felt that he had met a nitpicker, but he still had to say: "Very good, it means you listened to what I said."

Xu Rui was surprised that he was not angry. He was indeed a famous acting training teacher in the industry. It seemed that he had encountered many troublesome students. Being criticized was not a big deal!

Nie Peisheng continued: "Since you chose intensive training, it is definitely too late to learn comprehensive acting courses. You haven't received any roles yet, but there are always roles you want to play. Let's start with the roles you want to play now, and I will guide you to practice non-material performance."

"Well, there is a role." When Xu Rui came out of his grandfather's ward before, he had already made up his mind. The spirit of martial arts and morality should not be lost, and the movie he wanted to act in person was undoubtedly "Fist of Fury".

Xu Rui told Nie Peisheng about the background of the script and the character's personality and experience.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Nie Peisheng actually became excited: "This role is good. Which company invested in it? You said you haven't received the role yet. Are you preparing to audition and compete for this role?"

"No." Xu Rui explained, "It's a drama I'm going to prepare for filming in a while."

"Are you going to invest yourself?" Nie Peisheng asked curiously.

"Yes, I will invest in this drama with Yan Ran."

"Real fight or fake fight?" Nie Peisheng blurted out.

Xu Rui did not hesitate: "Of course it's real fight."

Nie Peisheng realized that his question was a bit abrupt, and explained: "Nowadays, the shooting of fighting scenes is mainly based on special effects, slow motion, and wirework. I am a fan of martial arts scenes. Let me tell you, fighting scenes are difficult to shoot. A fighting scene is constantly improving, and it may take one to two months to shoot.

Nowadays, actors, especially the famous ones, have very tight schedules. It is long to stay in the crew for 60 to 70 days for a play. Although many actors are very dedicated and can go up and down mountains and rivers, it is difficult for them and their teams to accept the time cost and risk of injury to shoot an action scene for one or two months. If you want to shoot, you must be mentally prepared! "

"Of course."

"Then let's analyze the character you mentioned in detail." Nie Peisheng was much more active than before, "First of all, he is a cultured person. In that era, he did not have blind hatred. In addition, he is a grateful person. When he heard that his master was killed, he immediately returned to China regardless of everything. But he is still a passionate and aggressive young man. As I said before, people are complicated. I want to find a play for you. ”

He said he was looking for it, but in fact, his hard drive had already been sorted into categories, and he was very familiar with all kinds of movies, so he immediately found a movie and showed it to Xu Rui.

Of course, watching is not watching the whole movie. Nie Peisheng kept pausing, explaining, and asking Xu Rui to imitate.

…

A day of teaching passed by in a flash.

In the evening, Yan Ran returned home, changed her clothes and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She saw Xu Rui standing in front of the mirror posing and asked in surprise: "Are you practicing your acting skills?"

Xu Rui still maintained a serious momentum and said: "This is the homework assigned by the teacher. You have to maintain an expression and posture for ten minutes, and then be able to switch freely."

After speaking, exactly ten minutes had passed, and he immediately turned from serious to angry, looking at Yan Ran: "Did you miss me during this day?"

Yan Ran nodded: "Of course I did."

Xu Rui was still very angry: "I'm glad you did."

Yan Ran asked with a smile: "Why are you still angry?"

Xu Rui shouted: "No way, I have to be angry for ten minutes!"
