Chapter 131 Mixed use of three factions
If Roland in his previous life accepted systematic teaching, which was a gradual process from theory to practice, then now, what he wants to understand is not a certain school in the eyes of the great gods, and their personal views, because these guys are very familiar with the school. It is meaningless for Roland to put his own opinions in front of Roland. The general teaching method that is only applicable to the lack of personal characteristics will only make Roland confused, and it may also be confusing to Roland who has found personal characteristics. play the opposite role.
For example, some great gods and Roland emphasized: start from the self and live in the situation of the character.
This kind of experiential approach, which is roughly equivalent to performance theory, is the most talented.
To put it bluntly, in Roland's current position, whoever tells him that the experience school is awesome, then he can disappear from Hollywood!
Regardless of whether it is the Jewish gang or the producer, they will kill that guy immediately!
Let a guy who is almost full of nationality sharpen his sword for three years?
No kidding, the Jewish gang who pointed at him and the producers who pointed at him for making money will not let those guys live in the world!
The method school that allows actors to substitute emotions and emphasizes that actors have reason in performance, and the expression school that advocates that performance is performance, and actors and roles are separated—in the eyes of great gods, it is actually very ridiculous.
For a new entrant, the choice of genre may be the basis for entering the industry, but after they reach the top of the pyramid, everyone will find that the so-called difference between genres is a pitfall, and performances should not be divided into genres, because experiential It is impossible to be 100% pure in actual performances, and it is impossible for expressive actors to be separated from the characters without any emotion!
The guys who really stand at the top of the pyramid never follow a certain faction!
Therefore, Tom Hanks will not talk about theory with Roland, because he has personally walked this road and understands that it is misleading and nonsense. What he wants to teach is actually a bunch of predecessors who used their own personal experience to find out correct.
is now Robin Williams.
When Roland recognized Robin Williams as Robin Williams, the words 'women's wearer' suddenly appeared in his head, and when he followed the two with a bewildered expression, the trip to Hanks had already been planned. The restaurant, walked through the hall grandly, let Robin Williams order food, watched the other party lower his voice, communicated with the waitress lady, nodded and smiled, and watched the other party leave the private room, that kind of showmanship Looking at the performance, Roland was full of question marks.
"Robin, where did you... come from?"
As soon as the waiter left the private room, Roland, who had an old mouth stuck in his throat, asked out.
"Oh, this is the costume in "Slimming Dad". Tom said he wanted to give you an example, so I asked the people from Fox to come to the house to help me tidy it up." Williams, who was wearing women's clothing, did not have the slightest psychological pressure. After getting up and turning around in front of Roland, he held up his skirt and said, "How is it? Those makeup artists are skilled, right? You didn't recognize me at first glance?"
Roland nodded in beeping, he admitted that he didn't recognize the other party at first, but—
"What does this have to do with acting?"
Hearing this, Williams, who was already in class, smiled and sat down, while Hanks shook his head and answered his question, "Oh, Roland, this has a lot to do with acting."
"The reason why I told you, whether it's a good guy, a bad guy, a hero, or something else, that state is very easy to enter, because if you want to quickly enter that specific role, just experience it once in real life."
"The essence of performance is 'expression'. 'Acting' is just a technique. The expression you 'act' is passed on to the audience and produces a certain result. This is the key. Inferring 'acting', this is what you said before that the picture is harmonious and natural, but the nature of the picture is never the credit of the actors. Kuleshov, who wrote "Lens and Montage", can make the same face express differently Can you say that the actors acted well? No, this is a good shot..."
"So, we can make up for the skills of 'acting' in countless ways. Just like Robin is now, the 'form' he shows is made up by makeup. What really makes you think he is natural is his Emotions."
"That's right, imitating women's movements and postures, you can never finish learning those 'acting' skills." After Hanks finished speaking, Williams continued: "It really allows me to sit naturally. It’s here because my brain tells me that it’s normal for me to wear women’s clothing, and when my brain doesn’t resist, I just need to imitate certain skills and I’ll be able to act.”
"Don't be surprised, this is our usual method."
"Many actors said that they like to write biographies for their characters."
"That method came too slowly. We don't need to play a character, we just need to make the character be ourselves. How to make the character be ourselves? The fastest way is to do it normally."
"I heard that Harrison Ford took you to skydive during the celebration dinner at the Skywalker Ranch?"
"Then do you know that he usually likes to save people?"
"When he passed by the bank, he found a mother calling for help, so he went to the bank to find a mop, smashed the car window of the house, and rescued the child who was about to suffocate..."
"This is a very common thing, right?"
"But he's acting, you know?"
"He's been a hero once in his life, and when people thank him for cheering him on, that emotion can be applied to Han Solo's performance, it can be applied to Indiana Jones, and when he Repeating this behavior every once in a while, he can play a hero on the screen, others will only say that he played well, because he is a hero..."
"And Joe you worked with..."
"Joe Pesci likes to hide imitation guns in the trunk of his car when he is filming. Since he does not hide his gun license, whenever he encounters the police, the natural emotion is his emotion. accumulation…"
"Do you know why the status of Meryl's first movie and the second movie are so different?"
"If you ask Robert De Niro, or Dustin Hoffman, or Francis Coppola, they will tell you that after Meryl entered the industry, she fell in love with John Keizer, But just when they got engaged and were about to marry after the filming of The Deer Hunter was over, John Keizer was diagnosed with bone cancer...”
"John Keizer was accompanied by Meryl at the end of his life. The so-called crazy woman, self-doubter, anti-humanity and anti-moral role is played well because she was crazy... "
"Even if she sometimes has positive emotions, no one will criticize her for acting incorrectly, because..."
"In terms of venting emotions, no one knows better than her..."
Okay...
Although he didn't eat a bite of food, he sat here and listened to the two people's long talk, but Roland understood what they meant. The so-called good acting, first, the image is right, and the second is the emotion. The third is to add character characteristics.
Image For this thing, Hanks has already helped him solve it.
In other words, all A+lists are solved in the same way.
That is to make the characters in the script conform to their own image, and then let the god-level Fu Hua Dao come on stage to serve.
Just like Empress Lu, if he shaves his head and removes his makeup, it will definitely be ten thousand times better than keeping bangs.
As for the second emotion pair, it's even simpler.
Robin Williams wears women's clothing on the street, Harrison Ford instinctively saves people, Joe Pesci carries imitation guns, Meryl Streep loses her love... not only that, but Tom Hanks also likes and They found themselves taking photos with passers-by, and took the initiative to go over to take pictures with the newcomers when they came across the wedding shooting scene. These real attributes of being close to the people and good people can be remembered by them.
can be used by them.
AngLee did say that emotions cannot be acted out!
But just because you can’t perform it, doesn’t mean you can’t recollect it!
You recall a real emotion, and the effect is hundreds of times better than simulating something that does not exist.
And when the first two problems are solved, you can start imitating various professions.
Learn the characteristics of different professions and invoke your own success emotions. This is the most economical performance.
Use the method of experience to find the true feelings needed for various plots, use the method of method to inject different emotions into each relative scene, and then use the method of expression to continuously add your own skill library...
is OK.
Sound like a hassle?
But it's easy to do.
The most important thing is that you can reduce the chance of going crazy as much as possible.
Because your true feelings of joy, anger, sorrow and joy are your own emotions, not simulating other people's lives.
This is to pretend to be someone else, but actually be yourself.
After treating those roles as different professions, in the eyes of the audience, they are all kinds of life.
If you play yourself, will you still be able to play?
My essence is still me, I just keep changing jobs...
"Well, if you just want to talk to me about this, isn't that a bit big?"
Looking at the two big guys on the left and the right, Roland, who knew the process repeatedly, laughed, "Wow, if the outside world knows that Tom Hanks and Robin Williams taught me how to create characters, then I guess Will you be killed by the eyes of your peers?"
"Oh, they won't know." Seeing that Roland had figured out the process, Hanks also laughed.
"It's useless even if they know it, because they can't learn it." Williams tasted the baked snails on the dinner plate gracefully, and said with a smile: "Our method is only suitable for those who have succeeded many times."
That's right, success must first happen before it can be repeated.
And in the absence of success, random repetition is tantamount to asking for a dead end.
However, after listening to what they said, although Roland's organization is clear, he is actually more confused in terms of finding emotions, "If it is said, Tom can gain the favor of the people in a close-to-people way, so as to continuously accumulate With the attributes of a good person in my heart, Harrison can save people constantly to repeat my on-screen hero attributes, so how can I reflect my age attributes?"
"Compared to you, my age should be the most vain thing, right?"
"If you rely on age alone, there is actually no emotional match..."
When Roland asked, Robin Williams put down his knife and fork, pointed to himself, "Look me!"
Um?
Roland's gaze shifted over.
"The movie "My Fair Daddy" was the first time I dressed as a woman. Before Dustin Hoffman had a movie called "My Fair Man", it was also his first time as a woman...Everyone has a first time, And you, who take advantage of your age, aren't you selling the beauty of the first time?" Robin Williams took off his glasses, folded his hands, and looked at Roland with a smile.
And Tom Hanks next to him also wiped his mouth with a napkin, and while pouring Roland a drink, he also smiled and said: "In "Home Alone", Kevin McAllister is alone for the first time. At home; in Terminator 2, John Connor had his father for the first time and lost him; in Jurassic Park, Tim Hammond saw a dinosaur for the first time and protected his sister…”
"Why do I say that your age is an advantage that neither of us has?"
"Because of your youthfulness and bewilderment on the screen, these things that should be classified as performance mistakes have no hindrance for you, because the audience knows that you are the first time, and they will take this It’s all about your learning process.”
"And the next Peter Parker you play is the same."
"Peter Parker has changed from a student to a superhero. He is not the assistant of other adult heroes. He does not have any experience and skills taught by hero mentors. He grew up alone. The troubles encountered in youth are the easiest for you fans, and you don’t need to be like us, to be a good person once in normal life, you don’t need to be like Harrison, to save people uninterruptedly, and you don’t need to be like Meryl, to experience the death of your fiancé The pain in front of you, you are you, the feeling of learning, that green and immature, are the emotions you already have..."
Roland...
I understand!
He already had the true meaning of his worries.
The characters he plays next are the kind of guys who want to get things done, whether it's Spider-Man, or his potential target Ryan, or Jack, these characters are small people: Spider-Man gets the ability When he was young, he was focused on making money, but after his uncle died, he changed. When he failed, he would choose to discard his uniform; Ryan was the most ordinary soldier, sticking to his post and fulfilling his mission; and Jack It's a group of people yearning for the American dream. He went to the United States from Europe just to make a fortune. Isn't the emotion of this little guy wanting to be promoted the idea of ??Roland now?
He has a net worth of 300 million.
He takes resources everywhere.
He is a box office hit and a newcomer to the A+list.
One of his greedy girls is at home, and the other can be found with a phone call.
But in terms of acting, he still feels that he is lacking.
And this kind of self-denial, the desire to rise up, is exactly the emotion those characters need!
This purest emotion is the "true" produced when Harrison Ford saved lives, when Meryl Streep was in pain, and when Tom Hanks took a group photo with someone...
Now he only needs to inject this instinct into the plot in a methodical way, and then use the accumulation of expressionism to make up for various details-Spider-Man is a hero of the common people, so he is the same as Hanks. A good guy in the eyes of the public; Ryan's details can be made up with military training; and Jack, then go for a real relationship...
For actors, skills can be accumulated at any time, and only those fleeting emotions are the real wealth. Roland believes that if Hanks and Williams hadn't pointed it out, he would never have discovered all this. And at that time, it is really a rote, and it will be played out there...
After all, using skills to drive performances and using emotions to drive performances are two different concepts.
"Thank you." Roland thanked him sincerely.
Although this kind of thing sounds simple, the teachers at the academy simply don't know how to teach it.
Mix of the three factions?
You fledgling lads are wrong!
But the real evergreens in the film industry, which one is not mixed with Feiqi?
Since I can achieve the best results in the simplest way, why should I make myself a lunatic?
Experience school?
Yes, all actors are experiencing.
But what they experience is the occupation of that character. I can gain weight, lose weight, and learn the skills that the character will know.
But it's all external.
The real core is the emotions I get in my daily life, I am crazy, I am crazy, I love, I hate...
Everything is something that used to exist, so that there will be no problem of not being able to play.
I will not become a character, I will only let the character become me!
And when the role becomes me, then I am one person with thousands of faces!
Don’t worry about becoming neurotic yet…
While Roland thanked, Hanks shook his head and said:
"No no no...you don't need to thank...we are just mutual benefit..."
"Since you understand our way of acting, then you should be able to understand what I'm doing..."
What is Hanks doing?
Roland was stunned for a moment, and then expressed emotion, "Yes, yes, mutual benefit..."
"For you, Steven or someone else's entrustment is just the 'run' in "Forrest Gump"."
"Gan in the script is like an angel who has fallen into the world. He never forgets the kindness of others, doesn't care about others' grievances, doesn't think about others' faults, and doesn't think about others' faults. Now, what you are teaching me is to never forget the kindness of others. ..."
"Lang discovered you, let you appear on the big screen, and recommended you to act in various masterpieces, so when you repay, you will treat him as well as the people around him, just like Gan treats Jenny in the script. Same, no asking for anything in return..."
"that is…"
"You have a lot of expressions and talkative..."
"However, these are all technical corrections, the emotions of the characters, there is no problem..."
"Oh! Bingo!" Roland's words made the two of them laugh.
Since Roland can use their skills to analyze, then performing...
is even simpler.
Note: ①Genre is a false concept, top actors are mixed, this is what Zhou Shen (the director and screenwriter of "Donkey Gets Water" and "Half a Comedy") said. Including Pacino, Aunt May, Lewis, Hanks won the first actor's "Philadelphia Story", the opera part, he lost weight and starved to perform there, he really felt that he was about to die, Washington also really watched Where is he crying? During Hanks’ trial, the part where he showed helplessness, according to Denzel, Hanks was losing weight, but he wanted to gain weight, and then he ate the other party’s likes in front of the other party’s face Chocolate, provoking him on purpose (the movie is available on DVD Ultimate Edition, with cut Hanks **** scenes and behind-the-scenes footage). ②The incident between Aunt May and John Keizer happened during the filming of "The Deer Hunter". At that time, the film was not finished, and Robert De Niro was in the group. When recalling, he said that the crew wanted to have bone cancer Keizer left, but Aunt May said that she would leave if the other party left, and after her fiancé died, her performance was the same as opening, the most typical is the first Oscar, in "Kramer and Mrs. Kramer" , both Hoffman and Aunt May were improvising (the director said it himself, the two of them kept changing the words on the spot), that kind of realism is not acting at all, Hoffman has an unhappy marriage, and Aunt May just died spouse. The situation of Hanks, Joe Pesci, and Harrison Ford is also true. If you want to keep acting, don’t get entangled in genres. The fastest way to create characters is to mix them, and the side effects are very small. Are billionaires, how many want to die and go crazy?
