Actors start from the college entrance examination

Chapter 8 Unspoken rules?
"The teacher scolded him for disregarding the discipline of the examination room. Li Yapeng hurriedly started singing "Love Song 1990", but he forgot the words in the middle of singing?"

Su Ze has black question marks all over his face!

What selection criteria is this?

"Come here, let me show you the dry goods." After finishing gossip, Liu Tianyi took out her mobile phone and showed it: "This is a clip of Jiang Wenli's performance back then."

Su Ze's eyes lit up, and he hurried up to watch the big guy's performance.

"The topic is a big earthquake, and the scene is in front of the ruins." Liu Tianyi explained: "You can see that many students started fighting for the sky as soon as they entered the performance area, and some even knelt on the ground, crying and digging desperately."

"In the words of Mr. Lin at the time: the performances were not very accurate, and it felt completely wrong."

"Only she stood up without saying a word, went to sit in front of the camera position, looked at the sky silently with tears in her eyes, and finally the tears flowed down her cheeks slowly."

"Do you know what was said about her at the time?"

"Earth!"

Su Ze nodded, watching this performance now doesn't matter how amazing it is, but back to three or 40 years ago, he was just a candidate, and he was indeed very good.

"In terms of dreams, Hu Jun wanted to be a reporter since he was a child, and he was still the kind of war reporter who was full of bullets."

"Before preparing for the college entrance examination, a sudden outbreak of acute hepatitis affected his studies. Just when he was confused, the former kindergarten teacher reminded him to decide to apply for the Chinese opera."

Su Ze: "..."

Is it so easy to dream?
"Singing "My Sun" directly in the original Italian language overwhelmed the audience and became the monitor of the first performance class of Chinese opera."

Liu Tianyi put away her mobile phone and said with a smile: "There are too many such things to count, not only celebrities, big names, movie kings, and queens, but also many actors start acting out of nowhere."

"Do you know why you say so much?"

Su Ze pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "You mean that a good actor must have a unique charm?"

"That's right!" Liu Tianyi said with satisfaction: "Regardless of appearance or voice, regardless of temperament or personality, the criteria for selecting candidates for Chinese dramas seem vague, but there is actually only one."

"unique charm!"

He directly pulled Su Ze up, walked around a few times, and said to himself: "The conditions are good and can't be wasted. Do you have to understand differently from other students?"

"Since you want to be a real actor, forget all your identities from today on, you are just a student preparing for the Chinese drama exam, understand?"

"There is no young master of the Su family here!"

Su Ze pouted secretly, the young master of the Su family?

Didn't you see, young master, I was being chased by a group of big geese!
Liu Tianyi was very satisfied with Su Ze's attitude, took out a document, and showed it: "All that needs to be said has been said, let's start officially."

"If your first choice is Chinese opera, and I am a teacher from Chinese opera, let me talk about the art examination process first."

"If you want to be admitted, you must pass three exams. The initial exam is divided into two parts, 3 minutes of free recitation and proposition performance."

"The difficulty of the second test is increased. In addition to recitation and proposition performance, vocal music is added, of course, a cappella, mainly to test the students' sense of music and rhythm."

"The last is also the most difficult level, recitation, vocal music, propositional performance, plus physical display and personal talent."

Liu Tianyi saw that Su Ze was listening seriously, and said with a smile: "As for the oral test, it is basically the examiner's inspection of the students' knowledge accumulation. In any industry, what you want to fight for at the end is the knowledge background, understand?"

Su Ze nodded. It's not a secret about the process, it's the same every year.Of course, in addition to the Department of Acting, Chinese Opera has other departments, such as the Department of Drama, Musical Drama, Opera, Dance and even Peking Opera.

The word drama covers too deep!

"Let's start with the initial test, each reading a paragraph. We mainly check the conditions and foundation of the students' language and sound, including the ability to understand, feel, imagine and express the recited works."

Liu Tianyi analyzed: "The difference in performance lies in the details, such as enunciation, vocalization, voice and voice, etc."

"Actually, the invisible inspection has already begun from the moment the candidates enter the arena. Including your every move, every smile, self-introduction, and demeanor when you recite and perform, the three examiners are reviewing according to their own standards."

Speaking of which, he handed Su Ze a bottle of mineral water and asked, "Do you know why you want to try it for the first time?"

Su Ze guessed: "Just eliminate the bad ones?"

"That's right, the purpose of the so-called preliminary examination is very simple, it is to win the unqualified candidates." Liu Tianyi said seriously: "Every year tens of thousands of candidates can finally admit 300 people, and the performance department has a maximum of [-] people. This is the result of multiple enrollment expansions."

Su Ze took a deep breath. It would be a lie to say that there is no pressure. Although there is a system, there is too little time left for himself.

"Then there is a proposition performance, where a group of eight to ten candidates is selected for a collective interview performance. The main test is whether the stage can be relaxed, and whether the behavior can be organized organically in a specific situation."

"Propositions are usually based on situational group exercises or group performances in which each person does one thing alone, basically without physical objects."

Looking at Su Ze at this point, he smiled and said, "This is your strong point!"

Su Ze smiled slightly. An actor is just a performance test, and other vocal forms are icing on the cake. Being able to act is the last word.

Liu Tianyi naturally saw Su Ze's self-confidence, and had to say that the boy in front of him was indeed very talented. Don't underestimate the lack of real performances. This is the difference between the actor and the dragon.

Relying on imagination to enrich the details, using logic to guide the audience, and accumulating a sense of belief in the characters, it is like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle, showing the originally illusory characters three-dimensionally.

This is called kung fu!
"Physically examines the basic condition of the body, what coordination, flexibility, and whether there are defects, etc. Vocal music further examines sound, rhythm, musicality, including the understanding and expression of songs."

"The first two exams have only one purpose, to eliminate as many people as possible." Liu Tianyi said seriously: "150 to [-] admission rate is not a joke."

"The highlight is the three exams. The exams will be more stringent and delicate. Not only will the candidates for admission to the liberal arts exam be determined, but also the ranks of the majors in which the candidates will ultimately determine their fate must be determined."

Su Ze read and listened to the materials, especially reciting and performing were not a big problem, mainly vocal music and body.According to the analysis of Liu Tianyi’s years of experience, vocal music means singing impromptuly with the piano melody played by the test assistant, or improvising with a certain rhythm played by the examiner, or giving numbered notation or staves for candidates to try to sing the melody, etc.

The shape is similar, dance movements or physical movements, sometimes there are physical inspections related to performances, such as crossing blockades, crossing wind tunnels, and escaping from fire.

"Last year's proposition performances were the waiting room of the train station, the school celebration party, the zoo, and the lunatic asylum."

Liu Tianyi continued: "Multiple people performing at the same time can best test your imagination, expressiveness and image-building ability. The more chaotic the scene, the easier it is for the examiner to compare and screen, understand?"

"There is an unwritten rule among Chinese opera examiners, the better the talent, the more rounds of exams!"
