The sound of "Ka" entered Renly's ears, but instead of leaving the performance state immediately, he lowered his eyes and fell into his own thoughts.

Lines are the most important and most difficult basic skills in academy expressive acting. However, in the modern film industry, including the contemporary drama industry, the status of lines has dropped again and again, and has been gradually ignored by people.

The reason is not complicated. On the one hand, the expression methods of contemporary film and dramatic art are becoming more and more diversified, especially the addition of visual effects, which makes the expression of dramatic conflict and ideological depth more and more possible. Absolute dominance no longer exists; on the other hand, with the diversity and abundance of entertainment means, fast food culture has gradually increased, and the important positions of poetry, philosophy, history and culture have also been relegated to the sidelines, and lines with hidden meanings have gradually become plain and straightforward. , Direct, esoteric lines with charm and philosophical meaning seem to have become outdated.

Don't talk about Hollywood, even the best British screenplays have gradually become popular. Like "Transcendence", which not only uses a large number of monologues for reflection, deep thinking, and philosophical thinking, but also ends with Edgar Allan Poe's poems. Such a script is really rare and rare.

In fact, for Renly, the test of this line is also the limit of the limit. After all, the academy education he received was already an improved version of contemporary times. Although they still performed a lot of ancient plays, the lines of modern plays no longer had such depth.

Good lines stand out because they are well thought out. Who said them? to whom? Under what circumstances did you say it? Why do you say so? What kind of personality said what? What kind of background brought what kind of language habits? And what is the deep meaning of the lines, and why did the characters choose to say these words on such an occasion?

A brief summary is that it fits the character's setting and the context of the story.

Why did you choose Edgar Allan Poe's poems for the last line of the script of "Transcendence", just to satirize the loneliness of the times and the desolation of society? If the emotions just stop there, what reflections does Meredith's suicide bring? So what should be the ending of Henry and Sammy? So what does the desertion of Sarah and the school mean? Obviously, the script is not only that, but in the midst of decadence and vicissitudes, in the boundless sea of ​​suffering, a glimmer of hope has been found.

Such simple yet profound lines, and such complex yet delicate emotions, presented Renly with a severe test.

The basic skills of lines are actually practice, starting from details such as rhythm, punctuation, articulation, accent, intonation, ending, etc., to give the sentences vivid vitality and present the deep meaning behind the words; but the real difficulty lies in connecting the lines with the characters, It is connected with the plot and the story to resonate, and the abundant emotion fills every gap and corner of the words and sentences, thus making the characters three-dimensional.

The lines of the scene just now, before they were officially put into the performance, Renly pondered over and over again at least one hundred and fifty times, chewing on the emotions carefully. "The Fall of the House of Usher" is well-known in Europe, and its artistry has been recognized by countless people, reflecting the current situation of the entire society at that time, but there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people, and the same verse is used in different occasions and Different characters have different meanings.

Renly guessed seven or eight different options, and finally settled on the one just now. When he finally put into the performance, Renly completely entered the state, his head was ethereal, and he could feel the slight resonance with Henry in the depths of his soul. The feeling of making fingers is really wonderful.

Based on the method school, the role is conceived; with the expressionist method, the role is deduced. This is a different way of acting than any previous work, and Renly knows that this can only be applied to "detachment". Thanks to the academic style of the script, this can be done, and changing a work will not work. Still, this attempt gave Renly another glimpse into a potential avenue for the fusion of the two styles of acting.

However, it is precisely because the performance is so dedicated, so focused, and so smooth, that Renly has also discovered his own shortcomings more and more: experience.

Judging from the "detachment" graduation examination alone, he did meet the qualified standard; but in the preparation process, he spent countless energy and time to fully display the profound meaning of "diligence to make up for one's humility", and his ability to respond on the spot, The ability to understand the role and the ability to perform basic skills is difficult to satisfy.

Whether it is the seventy-one shooting of the bus scene or the one shooting of the finalized scene, it can be seen from the back that he has reached the standard in terms of basic skills, but how to integrate the basic skills into his performance is still only a half. A professional actor, there is still a long, long way to go before he becomes a real professional actor.

Of course, there are no shortcuts to expressive acting. Only by constantly polishing and tempering oneself in the performance, the experience is accumulated in the actual combat again and again, and finally integrated into the body and into the muscles, becoming a kind of performance. Inertia, even gestures, frowns and smiles are all dramas.

This is also the reason why the British Academy sends actors to go back to the stage in the West End of London to exercise every once in a while, just like a car, after a long time without running, the engine will rust.

Renly couldn't help thinking of Paul's joking joke before: Broadway or the West End.

If he finds an opportunity in the future, he must return to that stage, preferably in a classic

Drama is a traditional theme like Shakespeare, ancient Greek tragedy, and Italian comedy, because this kind of drama has almost strict standards for the test of basic skills, especially the understanding of lines. This is the essence of modern drama that has passed away.

For the first time, Renly realized his youth. It's not just the youth in terms of age. Although he is over fifty years old now, he looks at the world from a different angle; it's the youth that has settled down over time, whether it's the previous life or this life, After all, Renly's social experience is too little, and the ups and downs of life experience are not enough after all.

Even in this life, he began to lay the foundation of cultural heritage since he was a child, and received professional education from the Royal Academy of Arts in London, and the ups and downs of the two worlds gave him a different view of life, the world, and society. , These are all precipitated in the performance, which is also the reason for the success of several other works before "Transcendence".

But "detachment" made Renly realize: he only studied for two years at the academy and less than six months in the West End and Broadway. Simply put, his time on the stage is still too little after all. He is only under twenty-two now, and he has made the most of every inch of his life, but he is still too young after all. Like those old school actors, who have not been immersed in the stage for more than ten years, decades of skill.

Expressive acting is so simple, the hard work off stage can be reflected on stage, just relying on talent, it is difficult and difficult to break into the world.

As thas-edison said, genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. It is that one percent inspiration that lays the foundation. Without that little bit of inspiration, then It is impossible to carve dead wood into treasures; but with this little inspiration, 99% of the sweat is the guarantee of success. Those geniuses who died young after squandering their talents are countless in history.

For the expressive acting skills of the academy, constantly polishing oneself, constantly tempering oneself, and constantly accumulating oneself, sweat gradually becomes part of the body under the precipitation of time, and finally completes the transformation. This is a process, the process of turning into steel, hard, tormented, difficult, but without going through it, you will never be able to complete the qualitative change.

Not long ago, a film "Anti-Cancer Me" gave Renly a better understanding of methodical and experiential acting; now, a "detachment" has made Renly re-examine his own expressive acting skills. attainments.

Since I entered Hollywood, I have starred in one TV series and five movies for about two years. I think my acting skills have been completed, and the praise from the media is endless, and I even received Oscar nominations and recognition, but now it seems that the exploration of acting skills The long road has only just begun.

This time, Renly began to seriously consider that he should choose a Broadway or London West End classic, and polish it down to the ground.

Thinking about it, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He likes this kind of challenge and like this kind of process, maybe George and Elizabeth are right, he is not a genius; but he firmly believes that he has a little bit of talent, even if it is not one percent inspiration, zero percent There will always be five, and he will continue on this road unswervingly. The scenery along the way is so wonderful, how could he be willing to miss it?

Raising his head, Renly looked over, looked at Tony, and shouted, "Director, how is this scene? Do I need to go over and watch the replay, shall we discuss it?"

A shout broke the silence of the crew, and everyone turned their heads to look at Tony in unison.

Tony shuddered and came back to his senses. Then he raised his right hand and shook it vigorously, "No!" This scene is just two sets of shots, no close-ups are needed, all of which have been shot just now, which also means "Perfect! Everything is perfect! I can officially announce it now. , it's finished!"

He originally thought that everyone would cheer after he finished shouting, but Tony looked around and found that everyone was disappointed and embarrassed, and he had to jump impatiently, "Why, are you planning to do it again? Torment and torture again. ?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone finally came back to their senses and cheered, "Yo hoo! It's over!"
