Li Mo’s answer let Cheng Mingming know that it wasn’t that Li Mo didn’t think, or that he didn’t know how to explain the character, but that he was framed by the character itself, and he was suppressing his performance to fit the character.

Cheng Mingming shook his head and said:

“wrong”

“Ask the teacher for advice.”

Cheng Mouming said:

“Li Mo, you have to remember that drama comes from life, but it will be higher than life. You are right, Wu Zhu is a robot, but if he is just a robot, why doesn’t the director just find a robot to play the role, but let you play it? Li

Mo thought for a moment and said honestly:

“Sorry teacher, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”

Cheng Mouming said:

“Li Mo, let me ask you, what is a TV series?” thisFor a moment, Li Mo really didn’t know how to answer this question.

Cheng Mingming said:

“In my understanding, the so-called TV series is a form of performance that entertains the public! The ultimate goal of everything we actors do is to impress the audience in different ways.

You can make him sad, you can make him angry, you can make him happy, you can make him moved. As long as you impress the audience, you are successful.

In order to fit the role, you suppressed your emotions and turned yourself into a robot as much as possible. Li Mo, what you did was not a performance, and what you participated in was not a TV series, but a documentary, do you understand?”

Li Mo fell into deep thought, and he seemed to understand what Teacher Cheng Youming meant.

Cheng Youming continued:

“The role of Wu Zhu is easy to perform, but also difficult to grasp. You have to express all his emotions, but the result must be incompatible with ordinary people.

When his identity was revealed at the end and the audience saw that Wu Zhu was a robot, they felt like, no wonder I always thought Wu Zhu was weird, and I couldn’t explain why, but it turned out he was a robot.

When you want to make people feel like they are suddenly enlightened, then you have succeeded.”

The dark clouds in Li Mo’s mind seemed to disperse all of a sudden, and his eyes suddenly brightened up. He finally understood what Cheng Yaoming meant.

Cheng Yaoming smiled when he saw Li Mo’s appearance and said:

“Li Mo, please remember, we actors create characters, not imitate them. Even if you are asked to play a rock, you can also play a jumping rock. As long as the audience recognizes that you are playing a rock, you will be successful.

On the contrary, if you play a rock and you just lie there motionless, then what else do you need an actor to do? Wouldn’t it be better to just get a stone there?”

Li Mo nodded heavily. Now he finally understood. Did he completely fall into a misunderstanding? Art and reality are two different things after all.

His understanding was really off the mark. No wonder Cheng Youming said his answer It’s completely wrong, it’s really wrong!

Cheng Mingming said:

“The role of Wu Zhu is very easy to interpret. Even if you play a role with a paralyzed face, no one will say anything. However, if you really want to play this role well, it will test your ability very much.

He has closed your eyes, your expressions, and even your body movements. The only thing you can rely on is your lines.

You just need to make everyone feel that he is very different through his lines. He obviously has the same human emotions, but there is also an indescribable weirdness.

Li Mo, this is a big test for you. Li

Mo said with bright eyes:

“Teacher, I am not afraid of tests!”

Yesterday, he felt that this role was not challenging. Today, Cheng Mouming gave him such a challenging problem. Can Li Mo not be excited?

Cheng Mouming said with a smile:

“That’s good, just have confidence. So if you fail today’s test paper, can you do it if you hand me a new one tomorrow?”

“certainly! I can!”

“very good. Li Mo, I’m going to teach you something new now. Are you willing to learn it?”

“I do, I very much do!”

(baai) Cheng Mingming smiled even happier, and he said to Li Mo:

“Li Mo, your talent is very high. Whether it is performance or understanding of roles, your talent is the highest I have ever seen in my life.

I have never seen a person who doesn’t understand acting at all, but he can completely understand a role by relying on his talent.

What I teach you today is not important, it just helps you better understand a character.”

“Teacher, you said”

“Our current actors generally interpret a role from two aspects. The first is called the method school, and the other is called the experience school!

The method school is more concrete. For example, Wu Jing, in order to film the Wolf Warriors, he went to the special forces to train with the special forces for more than a month. Then he observed what the real special forces were like, observing and immersing himself in it from all angles. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The experiential school is more abstract, and its representative figure is Liang Chaowei. I heard him say that he once locked himself in a room for two or three months in order to film a character well and didn’t go out. He just kept imagining what the character should be like.

He has completely constructed that character before he performs it, and in that moment, he is that character.

This method is very painful and tests your talent. The most important thing is that you will probably get into the scene and not be able to get out.

Li Mo, when you play a character now, you constantly add your own understanding to the image constructed by the screenwriter, making the character richer and more vivid.

But, after all, that’s not your role.

Of course, this may be a little too harsh for you now, but I still hope that Li Mo you can remember that in the future I hope that you can regard the role given to you by the screenwriter as the basic information of the character.

Through this kind of basic information, whether you observe or imagine, you can create a character of your own, do you understand?”

Treat the script as basic information and create a character of your own?

I don’t know why? When I heard about creating my own character, Li Mo’s heart beat very fast. It turns out that I can create a character of my own. , it turns out that I can also create a character and participate in it.

Cheng Yaoming has been looking at Li Mo quietly. He likes the way Li Mo thinks. Nowadays, there are too few actors who are willing to think.

“Teacher, I understand, don’t worry, I will definitely create a character of my own!”
