muscle actor

Chapter 100

"Next!"

Zhang Kaitai took a deep breath, came out second, and stood in front of Ding Cheng, feeling more nervous than before.

"Hello teacher, I want to read a favorite line."

Ding Cheng nodded. He had a good appearance and a masculine image. He was not a young man in the ordinary sense.It's easier for actors to portray other characters, which is a good thing for actors.

"What a beautiful girl, is she dancing flamenco?"

"Look at how light and vital she dances, just like a beautiful red butterfly, naturally eye-catching!"

"I really want to be like her, with a pair of beautiful wings burning with flames, so that I can fly freely, but I know I'm talking stupid, it's impossible..."

At the end of the 5-minute long line, Ding Cheng frowned several times without interrupting the other party's expression, and finally said: "I think an actor's line skills can be judged from these aspects, first of all, breath and Articulation, followed by rhythmic pauses, logical emphasis, and finally artistic processing that is consistent with the character's personality, identity, and age."

Walking up to Kaitai, he pointed at his throat and said: "Breath is the driving force of the voice and the basis of vocalization. And only when an actor accurately adjusts the various states of breath according to the character's different moods and changes in the situation can he accurately and meticulously Tell a story."

"For example, when you are happy and excited, your muscles will definitely be in a state of lifting your breath, and your breathing will be brisk and smooth. When you are angry and angry, your breathing will sometimes appear to be unsmooth and holding your breath."

"The respiratory air flow is strong and the impact force is strong, and the person often makes a rough gasping sound or a long and noisy exhalation. When sad and sad, there will be a state of weak long exhalation, accompanied by miserable sighs."

"In panic and fear, due to unexpected shock and intimidation, there will be a sudden half-mouthed gasp, which will then cause varying degrees of disorder in the breathing rhythm, tremors in the breath, and so on."

"So to evaluate an actor's lines, first of all, is whether the breath is sufficient, whether it can ensure the texture of the voice, so that the audience sounds comfortable and pleasant. Then it is the ability to control freely and use the lines to express various emotions."

Seeing that Zhang Kaitai was getting more and more nervous, Ding Cheng suddenly showed a sunny smile, took out his mobile phone, opened a video and said, "Do you know Mr. Jin Shijie?"

"This is a line from a movie. It is a wonderful dialogue about whether and what kind of person his daughter should marry. It lasts for more than five minutes. It takes one shot to the end. Is there a projector?"

The mobile phone is too small, so I uploaded the video to the computer and played it on the big screen. Ding Cheng held the remote control and played it slowly: "When he said this dialogue, his face was calm, his eyes were clear, and he carried a father's unique sincerity and kindness. Be honest and tell the truth about your inner bravery.”

"When analyzing her daughter's choice of wrong marriage partner, her voice became calm and composed; when talking about her daughter's meaning to her life, happiness overflowed beyond her voice."

"When talking about what kind of man my daughter should find as her lifelong partner, my voice was excited and proud. Tears welled up in my eyes, my voice was trembling but my words were clear."

"This is a demonstration of a textbook-level line. When it appeared, how many people were moved and sighed. It is this affectionate line that adds a lot of color to the movie and attracts more people to watch it."

Turning off the screen, Ding Cheng continued: "Do you know why we graduated from majors, and the works must stand on the stage and really face the audience?"

"Because on the stage, actors have higher requirements for their lines, and the special space environment requires that the pronunciation must be sonorous and powerful, and the pronunciation must be 100% accurate. Not every sentence, but every word must be clearly spoken from their mouths, and then Then clearly conveyed to the ears of every audience."

"Now it seems that not staring, not having facial paralysis, having expressions, and being able to cry have become the conditions for evaluating whether an actor has acting skills?"

"And the lines, which are the other side of the performance, seem to be stripped from this standard. I don't know when it will become the job of a voice actor?"

After Ding Cheng finished speaking, he sighed helplessly, and said seriously: "I really like a program, the sound is immersive!"

"You can watch it, you don't even need to watch it, just close your eyes and listen."

"As long as there are actors with excellent lines, is there any actor whose acting skills are not good enough?"

"I even think that the most professional work of voice actors should be dubbing films and cartoons. Why do they appear in so many domestic TV dramas now?"

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere became very dignified. In fact, Ding Cheng also knew that the actors were certainly responsible for the excessive use of dubbing, but other aspects of the production chain of the series were not all victims.

There are big problems with the scripts of many dramas. The scripts are too bad to be acted on. Sometimes the actors are actually writing the scripts for the screenwriters.

Sometimes when dubbing is used, the actors themselves are helpless. The film studio has budget considerations, and the agency also has other work arrangements.

Nowadays, it is becoming more and more industrialized and standardized, and everyone’s time is limited, but this is actually a manifestation of the progress of the industry.

"The reason why I brought up this topic today is that I hope you will pay attention to it. To be honest, you are not popular now, and you have a lot of time to improve your studies. If you become popular one day, then you will not, and you will never have the time and energy to think about it.”

The three suddenly realized, especially Zhang Kaitai, and hurriedly asked: "How do you usually train?"

Ding Cheng smiled slightly and said, "People are under a lot of pressure now, and the mouth, throat, shoulders, and chest are all important parts, so the voice always feels very tight and small."

"Freshmen and sophomores are basically training to control the volume, timbre, and sound quality with the qi of the dantian, and let the sound pass from the excitation point of the palate of the mouth, from the teeth to the nasal cavity, and the sound will be relatively loud and penetrating."

"I have a little secret, you can try it. Imagine that when you are walking alone in a dark alley, you suddenly find someone following behind, trying to harm you. The cry for help at this time is the best sound."

"Actors must learn to stand in the light position, adjust the scheduling, and find mics on the stage. Some stages have no mics themselves, some have ground mics and hanging mics, and some actors carry mics on their bodies. You need to adapt to the situation."

"Such as ground mics and hanging mics, the position should be as close as possible to these positions. If it is too far away from the fixed mic or the back is facing the audience, the sound should be louder. The sound is actually hit on the wall during the stage expression process, and then reflected To the audience's ears, this requires a lot of resonance in the entire space with sound."

"While TV dramas and movies definitely have radio microphones, even the sound of breathing and saliva can be collected, which is more delicate and microcosmic. One kind is microscopically pushed in front of you, and the other is far away, like holding a Looking through the telescope, the sound is different in amplitude, strength and intensity."

"For example, I am not a savior. I play Lu Chuanjun. I read the original script repeatedly to understand the character's background. Based on the script, I establish the character's living environment and character relationship network. It is best to experience life."

"In order to deeply understand the character's psychological process from knowing his illness to death, and find out the character's behavior motivation and mission. Find the intersection point between himself and the character, the point of empathy, and synchronize the values."

"Repeatedly give yourself hints to make yourself believe, or to bring out the emotions at this time. Of course, each actor has different methods. Some relax, some listen to music, some exercise crazily, and some daydream. Love and so on."

"This requires you to practice repeatedly and repeatedly experience the possibilities of different expressions of the current feelings. If you keep touching your most vulnerable moments, what are the different ways of expression."

"Find what works best for you!"
