Chapter 66: The Way to Say Goodbye to the Devil's Eye (2)
"Okay, without further ado, let's start eye exercises."
The topic was about to enter, and Sisi put away her previous little emotions. She was really, really curious about how "magical" the magical method her boyfriend mentioned before was!
"If I can really restore the spiritual energy of the "Death-Death Demonic Eye", I can just "promise myself" now!
With this thought in her mind, Sisi's pretty face immediately blushed slightly without any trace. (Anyway, sooner or later, it's all his.)
Of course Zhong Yunqing didn't know what Sisi was thinking. This guy coughed softly in front of the girl, and then said:
"The methods I want to teach you are divided into three steps. The first step is called "Practice 'Shen Qi'"..."
Practice "spirit"?
The little girlfriend followed his pronunciation and repeated it in a low voice.
"Yes, if you have seen some interviews with Peking Opera actors or performance masters, most of them talk about the past and when they talk about practicing basic skills, they will basically mention repeatedly: practice the "air" of the eyes. And in this way
The purpose is to make the eyes bright and steady during the performance."
"When your eyes become firm, you will feel confident, generous, and more aura. This is why many drama and opera actors, even though they are not very old, will make people feel aura when they perform.
Super strong reason.”
The boyfriend section captured Sisi's psychology at the beginning and made her interest even stronger.
So she took the initiative to come over, grabbed her boyfriend's wrist and asked softly:
"Then how exactly do I practice?"
Zhong Yunqing was preparing to explain to her based on the interview he had seen with Liu Xiaoling in his previous life.
Let’s talk about it. Let’s not comment on the controversy over Teacher Zhang’s character. As far as his professional ability as an actor is concerned, he is definitely worthy of being called an “old drama expert”!
"If you want to develop the "spirit" of your eyes, a more practical way is to first focus on a fixed target and practice for a long time. This method is called "fixing the eyes" in professional terms. In layman's terms, it means to let the eyes "fix"
Spotlight"."
After saying this, Zhong Yunqing smiled and looked at Sisi who was listening carefully, and then continued:
"You should know the teacher Liu Xiaoling who acted in Journey to the West..."
My little girlfriend nodded very obediently like a good student.
"Actually, like you, he is also highly myopic. He once said in an interview that he spent four years doing this "fixing the eyes" exercise. As for how he did it, he was two or three meters away.
, stare at the lighted candle or smell the incense and other luminous objects."
"Or occasionally change it and stare at an obvious point on the wall; or a leaf at a fixed position on the tree outside the house... In short, this method is not limited to specific objects, the focus is on "staring"
Character!"
When the girl heard this, she could feel that her boyfriend was really interested in helping her find a way. But she was not a patient girl who could do one thing quietly for a long time.
So when Zhong Yunqing said that it would take several years to persevere in this matter, the first thing that came to her mind was how long it would take to do this thing at a time.
So, the girl once again raised a white hand like a student asking a question:
"Old Zhong, I want to ask a question first..."
"Well, you say."
"Then how long does it take to "stare" each time?"
Guessing what this girl was thinking, Zhong Yunqing gently scratched the bridge of her delicate nose.
"That's exactly what I'm going to say. Okay, actually, this exercise doesn't take much time. However, if you want to get some results quickly before going to the Central Theater, I still ask you to do it every time.
The staring time should not be less than five to ten minutes at a time! Moreover, you should keep your eyes wide open and do not blink!"
After saying that, Zhong Yunqing did not forget to show her the correct movements first. While staring at the key hole on the coffee table, he continued to explain to her:
"Just like me, I keep staring at an object without blinking. Of course, ten minutes is not a hard target. I tried it myself last night and found that when I first started doing this exercise, I might feel slightly dizzy.
There will be a little bit of discomfort.”
"So you don't need to be too particular about the duration of your first practice. You can stop as long as your eyes feel sore. Then it will be safer to gradually increase the time... Let's put it this way, as long as you persist in this practice for a year, you can initially improve your eyesight.
Problems with distraction and lack of concentration.”
"Really?"
Sisi tried it herself and found that it was not difficult, so she asked a little excitedly.
"Don't be too happy yet. This is just an initial improvement, and it won't completely help you get out of trouble. So next, we have to move on to the second one: practice eyeball flexibility."
"Eyeball flexibility..." The girl followed closely and quietly turned on the repeater mode.
"The "eye focus" just mentioned only allows you to form your own aura. And practicing the flexibility of your eyeballs will make your facial expressions more flexible. Speaking of which, let me give you a chestnut, Zhu Yin is here
There is a scene in "Cinderella" where she uses the bell in her hand to make Erlang Shen and the Four Heavenly Kings give up their resistance and dance..."
When the girl heard this, she remembered the Westward Journey that she had watched many times, and she answered happily:
"Well, I remember that episode."
"This is the scene. Her smile after shaking her wrist, coupled with her eyes, the playfulness of a young girl can be seen. This is why you need to practice the flexibility of your eyeballs. Compared with Zhu Yin, your eyes lack that playfulness
I feel that if this is not improved, it will limit your acting options a lot in the future..."
This time, the girl didn't rush to ask how to practice. She knew that her boyfriend would definitely tell her next.
Sure enough, Zhong Yunqing didn't keep her waiting. He looked at her and smiled and continued:
"I'll give you an example from my teacher Liu Xiaoling. In an interview, he said that this practice method is like watching table tennis. Watch the table tennis ball closely while it is being hit back and forth by the players.
I kept rolling my eyes along the route. In fact, Teacher Zhang, who is highly myopic, has achieved such an achievement. His growth experience still has some reference significance for you."
After saying this, Zhong Yunqing got up and went to the dining table, opened the disinfection cabinet and took out a chopstick and walked back. Then he continued to demonstrate and explain to his little girlfriend:
"Of course, this practice is not limited to table tennis. When you are at home, you can also take chopsticks or pencils, go up and down quickly, and stare at a point from left to right to practice."
"The next step is the final and most important exercise of these steps: practicing emotions in front of the mirror."
When it comes to "emotion", Zhong Yunqing's expression is a bit solemn. Sisi's acting foundation is almost zero, so she may not be able to understand the following teaching based on her acting skills.
"With the two practice methods mentioned just now, if you practice them regularly, you can basically get rid of your distracted eyes and give people a very energetic feeling. However, if you want to develop a pair of "talking eyes", you want to practice them during the shooting process.
In the film, it is relatively difficult to accurately convey the character's inner emotions to the audience through the eyes."
"Many actors will practice their eyes repeatedly in front of the mirror after receiving the role before acting in order to act realistically... However, if you want your eyes to be expressive, the key is not to wink in the mirror, but to figure it out during the practice.
Emotion, injecting emotion into the eyes.”
"For example, when you are at home, just look at "yourself" in the mirror if you have nothing to do, smile, smile lightly, grin, laugh heartily... Then you can carefully observe the changes in your eyes through your various smiles."
There are obvious changes in the process of "laughing."
"A real smile must come from the heart, and the eyes are the best place to convey emotions! ... In short, even if you are an actor, you are still really happy when you fake a smile, and you can see it clearly by looking at your eyes! Can you understand what I say?
?”
This is what Zhong Yunqing is most worried about! Sisi has never taken any systematic acting classes. She only has some fragmented and superficial experience in filming.
A large part of it was done in "Wulin Gaiden", through her boyfriend helping her cheat. Therefore, it may be difficult for her to understand how to "inject emotions" into herself in the mirror.
Sure enough, Sisi pouted and shook her head slightly.
"Smile in front of the mirror and observe. It feels so profound..."
Okay, it seems that the burden of trying to train my little girlfriend will still have to be shouldered by "Teacher Zhong"!
"It doesn't matter. In the next two months, I will help you lay the foundation properly. Let's stop talking about how to practice your eyes."
"Now, come and summarize for me what I just said and see how much you remember."
"Hmph╯^╰, don't underestimate people! Of course I will remember them all."
"The first point: stare at an object for a long time to focus your eyes; the second point, frequently move your eyes to make your eyes more alert; the last point, often look in the mirror to figure out your emotions, understand yourself better, and become confident
!”
After saying this, the girl raised her little head forty-five degrees and stopped talking. She looked sideways at her boyfriend with a arrogant expression, as if to say: "I'm so awesome!"
Please praise me!"
Zhong Yunqing just patted his little girlfriend's head and gently rubbed her little head.
"Just remember it. Then during the next summer vacation, I will help you set a practice schedule. Come over and do each step three times a day."
Originally, Sisi had no objection to the practice. She had already made up her mind anyway. But when she heard Zhong Yunqing's next words...
"You can't play games this summer! You need to consolidate the results of your relationship and spend all your time practicing your eyes and acting skills."
"Ah~~I don't!"
The girl grabbed her "cruel" boyfriend's wrist and shook her pitifully, acting coquettishly and cutely:
"Without the game, I would have lost my soul..."
Faced with Sisi's coquettishness, Zhong Yunqing was of course unmoved!
"So you see, you only have a small amount of determination to make progress!"
"So do I have to say goodbye to my computer?"
"Actually, there's no need to say goodbye, as long as you don't play games that strain your eyes."
After saying that, Zhong Yunqing remembered something and continued:
"But it's okay to chat with me occasionally, or read my novels online occasionally, but it can't last too long!"
"oh……"
The girl pouted and said oh. Although she would occasionally be willful, she was still obedient this time. Because she knew that her boyfriend was really doing this for her own good!
However, Sisi is not a real "good baby". When she thinks that she is about to say goodbye to the Internet-addicted girl, of course she wants to "drag" her boyfriend into the water!
"It's okay if you want me to practice hard, but I have a small request..."
Yeah, this girl actually compromised so easily?
She can actually choose not to be an Internet-addicted girl! At this time, let alone one request, even two or three, he will immediately agree!
"Well, tell me what it is."
"I want you to practice with me!"
But having said that, it is perfectly normal for Sisi to compromise.
After all, the title "Death Eyes" is really terrible! No one like her, such a naturally beautiful girl, would like it!
