Li Qing smiled slightly: "Director Wang, please don't undermine me by beating around the bush. In terms of acting skills, I know my own strength better than anyone else."
Wang Jiachen was happy. He suddenly felt that the idol star in front of him with a huge number of fans was very inconsistent with the bad temper rumored by the outside world.
This self-deprecating personality is somewhat similar to my own!
Wang Jiachen couldn't help but feel interesting in his heart, and he couldn't help but blurt out the words he was originally planning to hide: "You are a rookie in terms of acting. Even a non-professional can see this. But this
It’s not that you don’t have room for improvement. I can see that you haven’t had systematic study and training in terms of performance. But your mentality is very good, and you are generous when you perform. No matter how well you perform,
But based on this alone, you are much better than many students in majors. Some people have all the acting skills, but when facing the crowd, they can't control their nervousness, and the effect of their acting skills is greatly reduced..."
As Wang Jiachen narrated, Li Qing gradually became enlightened. This made him determined to hone his acting skills after returning to the mainland.
"In fact, the crew is the most effective place to practice acting skills, and it is also the place where progress is fastest. For talented actors, it is more worthwhile to hang out with the crew for a period of time than to study for a long time in school. Of course, I am not saying that the acting skills taught by the teachers in the class are not good.
, but each has its own strengths. If the two are combined, the understanding of acting skills will be deeper. "Love Words" is a new movie that I have been preparing for nearly a year. Both Shino and I regard it as a gamble. We don't
We will not care about its box office, our goal is just awards, overseas awards."
Wang Jiachen's eyes were a little bright. He looked at Li Qing and said: "Although your acting skills are worse than I imagined, your mentality is also more outstanding than I imagined. I originally thought that you would be successful at a young age and would not be able to endure hardships, but I
Judging from the one hour of contact with you, I can say that you are the most promising new actor I have seen in the past ten years. Acting skills are not innate. It is more important to practice the day after tomorrow. If you have enough time, I suggest
If you consider studying with a group, I believe that by then, Shino, Hua Rong, and many seniors in the industry will give you detailed guidance on your acting skills."
Hua Rong laughed at the side and said: "I'll forget it, but Zhiye's acting skills are recognized as strong. He and Hua De'an are called the two mountains in Hong Kong. It's not without purpose. If you can get Zhiye's guidance, then
It will definitely have an extraordinary effect on improving your acting skills. By the way, isn't Hua De'an going to be a guest at your concert? If there is anything you don't understand about your acting skills, you can also ask him for advice."
Li Qing thought for a while, sighed and said: "Study with the group? I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Besides, my time is also very limited..."
"Too much modesty will make you appear a little shy. Li Sheng, please think about it carefully. We can wait for you."
Wang Jiachen seemed to value Li Qing very much, thinking: ""Love Words" will not be launched until after the new year. My plan is to start it after the spring. There are still two or three months. During this period, you can handle your own personal affairs.
, we will meet again in the next year, and by then, I hope we can work together for a film that is about to hit international awards!"
After sending Wang Jiachen and Hua Rong away, Li Qing looked a little dazed.
At this time, Liu Qin walked in. She was holding a book that was about 90% new and about a finger thick. She threw it to Li Qing and said, "Take it, Director Wang asked me to give it to you."
Li Qing took it and looked at it, and immediately rolled his eyes.
"The Actor's Self-Cultivation" by Stanislavsky.
"What did he give me this for?"
Li Qing was a little confused, "Do you want me to watch this to learn? Is this useful?"
"It should be useful." Liu Qin said seriously: "My uncle Kun also has this book at home, but it's a simplified version."
When Li Qing heard this, he smiled bitterly, put the book aside, and asked: "Have you bought the ticket to the capital? What time does the flight leave?"
"Six o'clock in the evening."
Liu Qin seemed to have remembered something and said: "Sister Sui called me this morning. The editor-in-chief of "Contemporary Literary World" has been coming to our company recently and said he wanted to see you. Sister Sui said that he seemed to be in a hurry.
, so I’m here to inform you...why are you still related to "Contemporary Literary World"?"
"Contemporary Literary Circle" is one of the three major literary publications in the Mainland. It has an extraordinary influence in society, especially on university campuses. Liu Qin has naturally heard of it.
"Probably because of the Three-Body Problem."
Li Qing thought deeply.
Liu Qin pouted: "I said that I have arranged so many announcements for you, but you don't even bother to read them. It turns out that this is the reason why you spend all your time writing novels! Please, my little plum.
Sir, you are an artist, a star..."
"But I'm also a writer!"
Li Qing smiled and said: "Go and ask around, who doesn't know about the Qinglian Sword Immortal?"
"No! I'm too lazy to tell you!" Liu Qin was a little angry, got up and left.
Li Qing didn't care. He sat on the sofa, took "An Actor's Self-cultivation" in his hand, opened it, and prepared to watch it with gusto.
"The Self-Cultivation of an Actor" is one of the most important works of Stanislavsky, an outstanding theater artist in the Russian-Soviet period. It is in the form of a diary and mainly discusses the self-cultivation in the creative process.
All aspects of performance knowledge involved have been well thought out and have been proven in history. They have also passed experiments and been tested by the actor profession. They are the essence of Stanislavsky's performance system.
Whether in the past life or in this life, this "semi-novel" work has been regarded as a must-read classic by many famous movie stars. Although Li Qing has heard about it, he has no interest in reading it.
This was his first time reading this book, a must-read for performance students in major art schools.
This semi-novel in the form of a diary tells the story of a beginner who just resigned from his job and took part in an acting training class. The diary vividly describes the meaning of acting, and tells the story through fictitious acting class assignments and classmates' performances.
What kind of mentality and method should readers use to practice performance, and what is a good performance.
In the first chapter, when the acting training class started, "I", as the protagonist, gave a presentation performance with the classmates for the first time.
At the beginning, the protagonist chose the role of Othello for the reporting performance. Othello is one of Shakespeare's four tragedies. In appearance, the protagonist dressed himself as a black man. When his classmates praised him for his resemblance, he felt very proud of himself.
When speculating on the character, the protagonist just thought that Othello was a barbarian, so he made dancing gestures.
Later, through the teacher's guidance on the first rehearsal, the protagonist understood what kind of person this character is.
Although Othello is a black man, he is also a general and cannot jump around like a monkey, so he improved his own method, but he was still not appreciated by the teacher.
On the day of the final performance, the protagonist felt a huge sense of frustration due to the various circumstances on the stage and the fruitless experience over the past few days.
The moment he stepped onto the stage, under the stage lights, the protagonist suddenly had a strange emotion.
Sad, frustrated and angry.
Suddenly, the protagonist seems to really understand Othello's mood at this time, so he sighs from the bottom of his heart.
In all seriousness, all of Othello's movements on stage seemed so natural and smooth.
The protagonist himself can feel that all the audience and teachers are also attracted.
Later, the teacher told everyone that this is real acting.
From the moment Li Qing opened the book in the reception room, to boarding the plane, to returning to the capital, returning home, and lying in the bedroom... From the beginning to the end, Li Qing was holding this book "The Actor's Self-cultivation"
》, they are all reading carefully.
That attentive look shocked Liu Qin, Xue Yan and others.
Li Qing read Rise and even picked up a pen and paper to quickly record it.
"You cannot force feelings. The result of force is artificiality."
"You can't create things that you don't believe in, things that you don't even believe are true."
"Fear of criticism will kill an actor's remaining self-confidence!"
"Performance requires improvisation."
"If psychological techniques are not used, even if you rely on inspiration to achieve true acting skills for a moment, the rest of the time the performance will be lifeless."
"What is a faithful acting role? When standing on the stage, under the living conditions of the character, think, hope, pursue, and act exactly as the character does, exactly as correctly, logically, in sequence, and like a human being. As long as the actor achieves
Once you reach this state, you become extremely close to the character and begin to feel the same as the character."
Much later, in an interview with an international newspaper, Li Qing expressed his feelings when he first read "The Actor's Self-cultivation".
