At six o'clock in the morning, the "hehe haha" sounded on the campus of Beijing Film Academy on time, and the students in the performance department had a morning exercise.

The students from 05, Table 1, stood neatly in two rows in the playground, looking at Zhang Ran with excitement on their faces. They all came for Zhang Ran, and now they finally waited for the respected teacher Zhang to teach them.

Zhang Ran's eyes swept across the students' faces and nodded with a smile: "I'm in good spirits. I hope everyone can keep it in the next four years! Our class has very strict requirements on Chengong. As long as it is not really sick, no one can ask for leave for any reason! You may have learned a little performance and know that Chengong is mainly based on vocalization and body shape practice. We won't practice vocalization for now, mainly doing body shape practice!" Speaking of this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but look at Yang Mi. The whole class had the biggest problem with Yang Mi's voice. Her voice was too thin and looked sharp and harsh. It takes a lot of effort to correct it!

Fan Yang was very depressed, what's wrong with me? I didn't move, okay?

Zhang Ran withdrew his gaze and said, "It is very important for me to ask you that everyone has good physical fitness. Actors rely on their physical fitness. How can they act if they are not good at physical condition? Many people may not understand this. It is enough to be good-looking. What does it have to do with physical condition? The reason is very simple. Performance is action, that is, acting. For example, when you act in a fighting scene, your physical condition is poor and your legs are not straight. How can you act? It's not a zombie!

Our training this semester is mainly based on Grotovsky's training method, which emphasizes physical training. Grotovsky has 32 movements, to be precise, 32 sets of movements. Just like the Dugu Nine Swords in martial arts novels, it is said that there are only nine moves, but each move has hundreds of changes. Each large move is divided into many small movements. For example, there are 8 small exercises for preparing movements, and 14 exercises for relaxing muscles and spine training.

We basically don’t do these movements in daily life. Some of them are very difficult, but this is the characteristic of Grotowsky, constantly breaking the limits of the body and psychology to discover potential! Let’s start with the simplest preparation movements, and there are eight exercises for preparing movements! Let’s do the first exercise first, and those who learn to perform this movement will do it when warming up. It’s just walking, but when walking, everyone has to turn their arms and hands! Guo Zhen, Yan Shuo, you two have to demonstrate and get up!"

As he said that, Zhang Ran turned on the recorder and played the exciting disco music.

In performance classes, especially in the early stages, music often requires coordination. When doing action exercises, music can make students' movements more rhythmic; when performing emotional experiences, it can help students enter the situation. When he was guiding Nora Jones, he used the music of "River Water".

Zhang Ran turned the volume up and clapped his hands and said, "Everyone stood up, everyone formed a circle. Spread a little! Very good, now you start walking, pay attention to the rhythm of the music! Get your hands on, turn your arms!"

The students all walked up to the music, and at the same time they turned their arms, smiling one by one, thinking it was fun.

"Yang Mi, when did you become so delicate? What kind of lady do you pretend to be?" Zhang Ran saw Yang Mi being sensible and slick, and directly called her name. "To try to increase the movements, you must use the greatest strength to turn your arms. While turning your arms, raise your shoulders and stretch your neck, imagine that you are a dolphin, and you must split the sea and soar into the air!"

"Don't stretch Yang's neck forward, but stretch it upward. Imagine that he is a dolphin and rush out of the sea!"

"Tight, use force! The power must be in place! When your movements are done well, you will feel blood rushing upwards and air rushing upwards. The sound of water will ring in your ears as your arms rotate. You will feel like you rushing out of the sea like a dolphin..."

"Continue, continue!" Zhang Ran shouted, patting his hands without stopping.

"Change movements below! Run on tiptoe. While running, your body must feel the fluid, flying and weightlessness. The momentum of running comes from both shoulders..."

05 The students in Class 1 of Table of Contents trotted around the circle at a constant speed. After running a few laps, Zhang Ran began to ask them to do the third move. Although it was just a warm-up exercise, Zhang Ran's requirements were very strict, with requirements for movement and strength, and he kept changing the rhythm. After almost fifteen minutes, the warm-up exercise was finally over.

Zhang Ran smiled and turned off the tape recorder, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, sit down!"

All the students in the class sat on the ground, all covered in sweat. Chang Jirong's breathing was a little rapid, while Yang Mi's who were of average physical fitness were gasping for breath.

Zhang Ran looked at them and said, "The warm-up movement is the simplest of Grotowsky's 32 movements, which are basic walking and trotting. I think everyone should have discovered that although the movement is simple, it is very tiring to do a whole set. Everyone should have a little understanding of Grotowsky!"

The students in the class nodded silently, especially Yang Mi. She was a little overwhelmed after a warm-up move. God knows how difficult the subsequent training will be.

After the students were breathing evenly, Zhang Ran clapped his hands and said, "Let's do muscle relaxation and spine training. There are 14 exercises in this training. We first do the first cat-shaped movement. This movement is to imitate the complete process of the cat from waking up lazy and turning over, moving the body, and finally lying down relaxedly."

Zhang Ran looked at the students in the class and said, "Yuan Shanshan, let's play a kitten for everyone."

Yuan Shanshan looked at Zhang Ran, then looked at other students, clenched her hands and put them beside her face, and shouted: "Aim!"

The students in the class laughed, and Zhang Ran also laughed: "You are acting cute, not acting. Huang Jia, come on a kitten!"

Huang Xie immediately lay on the ground, stretched his waist first, then sat up, licked a little saliva on the tip of his tongue with two "melon seeds", washed his face with his "paws", and then kept licking his "fur" with his tongue.

The students in the class laughed. Huang Kai was really similar. He must have had a cat at home.

Zhang Ran clapped his hands: "It's a good imitation, but it's just an imitation, because the whole performance lacks emotion." Zhang Ran asked Huang to sit back and then said: "Let me tell you about Grotowsky's theory. Grotowsky believes that actors can only get rid of distractions after high-intensity physical training and shaping, and can only achieve extremely profound psychological experience through extreme training. Modern civilization gives most people little chance to perform extreme sports, and the primitive animal nature of humans is greatly

It was weakened. In order to regain his own nature and primitive impulses, Grotovsky's training added many subjects to simulate the forms of animals. He wanted to learn animal behavior to temper the degenerated organs and retrieve the instinctive emotions that were unpretentious. The theory of Ge is actually a bit of a charlatan. He himself became a charlatan in his later years and went to practice. However, his training method is indeed effective, because this training can drive the internal emotions of the actors through external training.

There are many performance schools in the world. If you distinguish them from the performance itself, you can be divided into two categories. One is to start from external movements and the other is to start from the heart. Starting from external movements, it is the performance school that everyone often calls. When you look at Meryl Streep's performance, you will find that she has a lot of small movements, each of which is carefully designed, even the same lip shape; from the heart, to give a simple example, Zhou Xun should know. She is not a professional.

, but her acting skills are particularly outstanding. Her performance is to start from the heart and find emotional basis from the heart. When she acts in love, she recalls her original love experience, and when she acts in love, she recalls her original love, and projects real emotions onto the characters. She does not use technical means or use eye drops or other things, all of them are real, so her plays are often from the heart, both beautiful and real, and Zhou Xun's acting method is the acting method of Strasberg in the method school.

In fact, both ways of acting have shortcomings. The disadvantage of starting from the heart is that emotions cannot be seen and touched, and it is difficult to effectively control them. For example, when performing crying scenes, many actors often think about their past tragic experiences or imagine tragic things. However, when performing real performances, these two methods often fail. Emotional memory, perhaps using imagination to mobilize emotions is not successful every time. It doesn’t matter if you act in a movie, you can, but not dramas, and the problem is huge.

Stani realized this. In his later years, he tried to start from visible, easy to grasp, and easy to train physical movements, and try to drive internal emotions through external movements. However, Stani was very old at that time and only proposed theories and did not have training methods. In the decades after Stani's death, countless people were working hard for it and wanted to develop Stani's third stage training method, but there was no training method that could truly meet the requirements of Stani's third stage.

We just talked about how Grotowsky wanted to use rigorous training to regain his own nature and his original impulse, which was closer to the third stage of Stanis. Although Grotowsky's training method did not really meet the requirements of the third stage of Stanis, it was indeed a particularly outstanding one of all methods. My teacher has been trying to absorb the third stage of Grotowsky's training method and then develop the third stage of Stanis training method, but she did not succeed, and we will continue to move in this direction!"

The students listened attentively, but what Zhang Ran said involved too many theories and factions, so they didn't understand very clearly. However, they understood one thing. Grotovsky's training method was very advanced.

Zhang Ran clapped his hands and said, "Let's go to cat shape! Guo Zhen, please set an example for them!"

Guo Zhen let out a "oh", stretched her body, lay down face down, and completely relaxed. Her legs were spread apart, her arms were at right angles to her body, and her palms were facing the ground.

Zhang Ran smiled at Guo Zhen lying on the ground. Now he has his own students as teaching assistants, so he can give them all demonstrations, unlike the previous class. He has to do all these demonstration actions by himself.

Guo Zhen lay for two seconds, retracted her hands towards the ****, with her elbows up, and used her palms as support points. Her hips were raised, and her legs were walking towards her hands with her toes. She raised and straightened her left leg, and raised and straightened her head at the same time. She put her left foot back back, and then repeated the movements just now, while her head was raised and straightened. Then she straightened her spine, placed her center of gravity on her spine, turned over, and lay down like a cat, completely relaxed.

All the students in the class looked straight, and many people opened their mouths in surprise.

Although Guo Zhen’s movements were only a few, they were really vivid. The movement of her limbs, the bones raised on her spine, and the state presented by her entire body were really like a kitten who woke up to move her body in the morning!

This action has reached its peak!

Guo Zhen is a girl from Jiangnan, she is quite delicate and looks about the same age as Yang Mi and the others. The students in the class didn't take her seriously, but now they are all shocked.

Teacher Guo is so awesome!

Is this Grotovsky? It's really amazing! (To be continued.)
