Chapter 427 Four years of sharpening a sword
Although it was less than two minutes into the opening, and although it was only the most common conversation, the professionals present had already heard the unusualness of this.
The lines of Wang Siwei and the others are full of impact, like subwoofers, with extremely strong penetration. What is even more shocking is that they are fleshy, pure voices, not sounds amplified through microphones.
This was beyond everyone's expectations, and even Feng Yuanzai was shocked. Now many professional drama actors bring microphones on stage, and only top troupes like the People's Art Theater insist on not bringing them.
The most important basic skill of drama actors is to read the words and pronounce. Whether people whisper or laugh on the stage, they must make the audience on the top floor of the theater and the last row as clearly as the first row. Watching the older generation of artists perform, the performance is revealed in the slightest, and every line is heard. Even if you close your eyes and listen to the play, it is like a spring breeze. But now many actors cannot do it, and they must bring a microphone to ensure the quality of the performance.
If it is a small theater performance, there may be little difference. The venue is relatively small and it does not require any effort. Everyone can hear it. However, Poly Theater is a Grand Theater. The National Theater has 880 theaters, the Capital Theater of the People's Art Theater has only 918 theaters, while Poly Theater has 1,428 theaters, which is larger than the theaters of the People's Art Theater and the Chinese Theater. Performances in Poly Theater without a microphone are very tests the basic skills of actors, and ordinary actors cannot do it at all.
In 2007, Ge You led the drama "Looking at Chang'an West" and was found wearing a microphone, which caused a lot of scolding. Ge You explained that in the big venue of Poly, we can't wear a microphone, and our throats will break in just two or three days without wearing a microphone. Of course, it is understandable that Ge You is carrying a microphone. After all, he has not acted in a drama for nearly twenty years and his skills have been seriously degraded, but this can also indirectly explain the difficulty of this matter.
It is definitely no problem for old artists of the National Dialect and People's Art Theater to perform without a microphone at the Poly Theater. Like Feng Yuan is stunned at the Magic City Grand Theater, which has more than 1,600 seats, he still does not carry a microphone, but many young actors of the National Dialect and People's Art Theater cannot do it.
Now a group of senior students dare not bring a microphone in the big venue of Poly, and they have to perform eight consecutive shows. Ordinary audiences may not know how difficult it is, but the people from various drama troupes present knew it clearly. Therefore, they were all shocked that these students had mastered the basic skills to this level?
Chen Daoming didn't find it strange. During the rehearsal, Zhang Ran said that he would not bring a microphone when performing in the Poly Theater. During the entire rehearsal, he always emphasized that the actors would spread the sound to the whole audience without using amplification equipment, and to mobilize the emotions of the audience. Now he is just showing these training results!
Zhang Ran felt calm inside, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Shocked? There is nothing to be shocked, this is just the result of their four years of hard work!
When he took over this class four years ago, Zhang Ran was very frightened, afraid of destroying people's future, because several of these students would have become famous according to the normal historical trajectory. He was afraid that because of his appearance, these students who would have become famous would be destroyed, and that students who had played had no play to act!
Therefore, in the past four years, Zhang Ran has not dared to relax and has extremely strict requirements for students. Other teachers basically stopped paying attention to morning tuition when they reach their junior year, but Zhang Ran’s class has been doing morning tuition until now, even if there are performances today, they still do morning tuition.
Now that I have been practicing for four years, the students are about to graduate. Zhang Ran dares not say that everyone can become famous. But he dares to pat his chest and say that my students will definitely pass the basic skills.
You have worked hard for four years for this day. Now is the time to bloom, so let's bloom as much as you want!
The dialogue between Wang Siwei and the others on the stage brought the story back to ten years ago, and Yu Bo, who was among the three people, finally appeared. Yu Bo, Wang Xun, Xu Le and the others were assigned to the same dormitory, began their friendship, and started a happy college life.
Yu Bo has good grades and is always among the best, and he has an unusual love and talent for machinery. Wang Xun is concerned about photography every day; Xu Le is timid every day, and sooner or later asks God to tell the Buddha to pass the exam.
In addition to outstanding achievements, Yu Bo is also a person who likes to enlighten others. He seems to be a prophet and a god sent by God. Whenever others are helpless, wrong or life is about to go astray, he will always appear and give appropriate guidance. Because of his powerful skills, he offended the principal of the school, tricked his classmates who can only memorize rotely, and also got his own love.
The whole drama of "Three Fools" is easy and humorous, the actors get into the state quickly, and the audience gets involved. As a comedy drama, there are many jokes, and laughter is endless during the entire movie viewing process.
Chen Peisi once said that the core of comedy is the tragic core, which makes sense. Because good comedy is often ironic, and characters are often tragic characters. Whether it is "Beautiful Life", Stephen Chow's comedy, Woody Allen's comedy, or even Happy Twist. While making you laugh, there is something that makes you cry.
The same is true for "Three Fools". As the story progresses, while making people laugh, there are also many sad things. Classmates commit suicide, Xu Le jumps off the building, and interviews. These plots make people cry.
As a die-hard fan of Zhang Ran, Wu Wenbo has strong confidence in "Three Fools". However, when the plot officially unfolded, he found that the whole drama was countless times better than he thought. It makes people laugh when they laugh, and it makes people cry when they are sad. As the plot develops, people who are emotionally unstoppable ups and downs.
People from major theater troupes were constantly shocked. It would be fine if only three leading actors did not carry microphones. After all, there were always some very excellent students in each class. It would be normal for two or three students in a class to dare not carry microphones. But as the actors continued to appear on stage, they found that all the students did not carry microphones, and the voices of these students were penetrating and resonating. The people in front did not feel noisy, and the people in the back did not feel small, and their lines were very solid.
They were completely shocked. Did this teach?
"Three Fools" is a story that is interspersed with two time lines of "youth" and "reality", constantly switching time and space. This kind of time and space switch will lead to the continuous switching of characters, which is a test for the actor's performance. Generally, dramatic performances are chronologically sequenced, from immature to maturity. "Three Fools" switches back and forth between two time periods around ten years and ten years later, constantly jumping out and jumping in, and has very high requirements for actors.
However, the students in the 01 Project completed a great job. The optimistic Yu Bo, Wang Xun, who loves photography, Xu Le, who is under pressure, the beautiful Ye Mei, and even the stubborn dean, almost every role is unforgettable. These characters are so vivid, they are like living by everyone, and their stories are empathetic.
"Three Fools" is a comedy, and the ending is naturally happy. Wang Xun and the others have been struggling for a long time and finally found Yu Bo in a mountain village primary school. He is very happy to be a teacher here, but he has accomplished nothing. He is a famous scientist in China. He realized his dream and became his true self.
The curtain of the stage slowly closed, and the performance of "Three Fools" ended here.
Chen Daoming stood up, Feng Yuan stood up, Pu Cunxin and Meng Jing all stood up, applauding with all their strength!
Although "Three Fools" was well performed, it was not enough to make them applaud. The reason why they gave such warm applause to these young students was a recognition of these younger generations' insistence on their dramatic skills.
Many people say that the acting skills of film and television actors are getting worse and worse, but in fact, drama actors are not the same. Even the basic skills of young actors in the Chinese dialect and the People's Art Theater are worrying, and the audience cannot hear the lines clearly.
During the rehearsal of the Chinese drama "This is the Last Struggle", there was a situation where young actors had poor lines and were too far from the old actor Lei Kesheng, which made them difficult to play, resulting in a huge reduction in the effect, which repeatedly affected the rehearsal progress. In the end, the dean Zhou Zhiqiang was furious and began to rectify the team, assessed the lines of young actors under the age of 40 in the hospital, and cleaned up those who failed the lines!
Now a group of senior students dare not bring a microphone at the Poly Theater and completed an excellent performance with excellent basic skills. This made Pu Cunxin and other seniors feel that there are still young people who are willing to practice steadily, making them feel that there are successors, so how could they be stingy with their own applause!
This applause is a kind of affirmation of the hard-working spirit of the younger generation by the predecessors!
The audience also applauded and filmed with all their strength with their hands. Many of them watched a drama for the first time, but they were really shocked and saw themselves in the story.
Wu Wenbo felt someone patting his shoulder, turned his head and looked at it. It was Huang Xiaoling. He was about to speak, but he heard Huang Xiaoling say, "I was watching a drama for the first time, but I didn't expect it to be so good. It makes people cry and laugh. What do you think?"
Wu Wenbo smiled and shook his head: "I feel like Wang Xun inside, a person with ideals. Unfortunately, I didn't meet Yu Bo when I was studying, so I insisted on my dreams and finally chose to compromise!"
Huang Xiaoling was stunned: "I actually did it when you say that. I also had a dream, but unfortunately I didn't meet Yu Bo."
At this moment, the curtain of the stage opened again and the actors began to end. First, the supporting actors went on stage from the left and right sides, walked to the center of the stage, bowed to the audience and thanked them, and then retreated to both sides of the stage. Then, the secondary roles, Zhang Ran, and the leading actors took the stage to end in turn, and then all the actors walked to the center of the stage and bowed to the audience and thanked them.
After the curtain call is finished, the curtain of the stage is pulled back.
However, the applause did not stop, and the applause continued to ring, even more enthusiastic, accompanied by cheers and shouts.
This is the first time that the students in the 01-Photo book participated in the performance and were treated like this for the first time. Their scalp was so numb that they were so excited that they asked us to return to the stage and end the curtain call again? They were a little confused and their eyes were all turned to Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran knew what they wanted to say and nodded with a smile: "I am inviting you to return to Taiwan. Pu Cunxin, Chen Daoming, Feng Yuanzai, and many big names. Now they are all audiences, and they are inviting you to return to Taiwan with applause. What is the moment that is most proud of as actors? It is this moment. This is the result of your hard training over the past four years! Enjoy the applause!"
After receiving Zhang Ran's answer, many students' eyes were wet. They arranged this drama for half a year, and only they themselves knew the hard work. To be able to get such affirmation, they felt that all the hard work was worth it!
The curtain of the stage was opened again, and Zhang Ran led all the actors to the stage again and bowed to the audience to thank them!
The audience responded with a 5-minute standing ovation. Zhang Ran and the others left three times before the applause slowly fell.
Before the official performance started, no one expected that a group of senior students could perform to this level. Ji Chen, Wang Jiayi, Wang Siwei, Gao Hang, and Zhao Ke, they are unknown newcomers in the film and television industry, but they used their outstanding performances to conquer ordinary audiences on the scene and professional audiences. Their four years of hard work bloomed the most beautiful flowers on this night! (~^~)
