Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 76: A shortcut to improving acting skills?

The acting teachers at Yanying School should be experiential teachers, and their teachings basically emphasize the importance of life and daily observation.

For example, the source of life is the life of performance creation.

Or observing life is to accumulate knowledge; the more knowledge you accumulate, the richer your imagination; without imagination, you cannot be an actor.

……

Views like these.

It cannot be said that it is wrong, but it is not that useful to Chen Linfeng.

His memory is so good that he can perfectly recall the emotions of a certain moment in the past.

This is almost the best experience, and you can learn it without being taught.

However, he realized one thing when he was filming the sequel.

Sometimes having a good memory is not necessarily a good thing, at least when it comes to acting, it does have an impact.

Characters like Nezha have little similarity to Chen Linfeng's previous roles.

If he really relied on experiencing past emotions to act, the emotions he recalled would be too clear and intense, which would cause it to not match the role he was playing, because the role itself did not require such intense emotions.

Ultimately, this factor, which should have been an advantage, is sometimes useless.

At that time, Chen Linfeng deliberately abandoned the ability to recall emotions and tried to play Nezha based entirely on his own ideas.

This was also the reason why he specifically asked the director to give him more corrections, because he was not sure whether his acting was good or not.

So the empiricist's point of view applies to him, but its applicability is very narrow.

His extreme memory of emotions will only be of great benefit to him when he plays a role that is extremely consistent with his past experiences.

Of course, if he really encounters such a role, his acting skills level can probably be considered the ceiling of the experiential school.

However, if you want to be a good actor, you will always encounter all kinds of roles.

If Chen Linfeng couldn't use his memory to empathize and mobilize emotions at this time, he would be missing a great weapon.

He has been thinking about how to solve this problem.

Until he met this group of bigwigs in the People's Art Theatre.

When they perform drama, it is obvious that they are not experiential but more expressionistic.

For example, Huo Bing once practiced the action of lifting a door curtain more than 50 times.

They prefer emotional alienation and emphasize control and design.

When Liang Guanhua was telling Chen Linfeng about this episode, he also performed several commonly used action designs for him on stage, using different identities, including men and women, with different identities.

Although Leung Koon-wah is a fat middle-aged man, he can show the charm of a woman or the restlessness of a young child through his design, and the effect looks very good.

Chen Linfeng's eyes lit up as he watched.

No wonder expressionism has become one of the three major factions of performance theory and has been studied and used.

Although Liang Guanhua's performance is the result of decades of experience, it at least shows that this way of performing through control and design is also feasible.

It was at this moment that Chen Linfeng suddenly remembered the method he had adopted a few months ago to memorize a large number of question types and problem-solving ideas in order to cope with the upcoming difficult mathematics problems in the college entrance examination.

Isn’t this similar to the usual way of accumulation used by expressionists?

Chen Linfeng was afraid of making a fool of himself, so he did not tell anyone about his thoughts for the time being.

In order to further confirm his ideas, he spent the next period of time in the library looking for a large number of performance theory books.

By this time, it was already October.

Recently, Pirates of the Caribbean was released in mainland China, and several important soundtracks composed by Chen Linfeng were also noticed by industry insiders and the media.

In fact, the movie was already released in Emily's theaters in July, but most people don't pay attention to the people behind the scenes of the movie, and American practitioners won't specifically tell the Chinese media, so the news has not yet spread to the country.

Now the news spread all of a sudden.

The soundtrack of Pirates of the Caribbean is really good and catchy enough.

People in the music production industry were not really surprised, because a few years ago, when Chen Linfeng released a series of pure music albums, these people in the music industry were already very clear about his strength.

Everyone has given it a high evaluation from the beginning. This time it's just a big deal and has gone viral. Media practitioners don't know the situation, they just think it's like a thunderclap out of nowhere, and they are stunned.

"Chen Linfeng can actually compose music?"

"How many more abilities has he not yet revealed?"

"Looking into Chen Linfeng's music experience, it turns out that he has released several music albums."

"I'm a person who can compose music for Hollywood blockbusters, but my music albums are not popular. What's wrong with the Chinese music market? I'm in deep reflection."

Netizens also found it shocking.

【Lifelong Wandering】: Haha, I don’t know why, I’m not shocked at all (凸(艹皿艹))

[Leaving Half Sadness]: This person is cheating, I request to apply for sanctions
【Can't Keep the Touch】: Does anyone remember the newspaper report a few years ago that Chen Linfeng composed the music for the sequel to Journey to the West? I thought I had read it wrong at the time.
[Circle you cross]: As for this matter, it seems that they have started it a long time ago, it is not a skill that suddenly appeared recently

【Gray Memory】: I don’t know why, but when I heard that he composed the soundtrack for Pirates of the Caribbean, I suddenly felt that the quality of this movie had dropped.
[The Wild Cat]: Shouldn’t it be Chen Linfeng who comes up? What’s going on upstairs?

【Tears flowing backwards-】: Oh, what a genius!

……

Recently, classmates at school have been looking at Chen Linfeng in a strange way.

He knew the reason, but there was nothing he could do but complain to Liu Qianqian.

"Heh," Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes and showed her little fist.

"I really want to beat you up."

Liu Qianqian is going to Taiwan Island to film "Love in May", and Shu Chang also went to the crew of "Young Imperial Envoy" some time ago to play the leading female role.

Chen Linfeng was just about to send her off.

"When I come back, remember to tell me how you were chosen by Disney."

"Okay, remember to work on your acting skills when you get to the crew, I'm..."

Chen Linfeng swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, bye"

Chen Linfeng saw Liu Qianqian off and then found Cui Xinqin, the acting teacher.

It's time to verify whether his conjecture is feasible!
"Teacher Cui, are you busy?" Chen Linfeng pushed open the office door.

"It's Xiao Chen. What's the matter with you?" Cui Xinqin was reading a newspaper. When she saw someone coming, she put down the newspaper.

"I have been taking your classes for more than a month. I have some ideas about acting and would like to hear your opinion."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Cui Xinqin took off her reading glasses and asked with interest.

This writer Xiao Chen is a well-known genius, and she is very interested in the ideas of geniuses.

Chen Linfeng began to talk about his ideas.

In fact, this idea suddenly came to me when I was working on difficult math problems before the college entrance examination.

He might not be able to fully understand some extremely difficult questions, but why did he get almost full marks in the college entrance examination mathematics?
It is because he used the rote memorization method that he clearly memorized all types of questions of this type, including the solutions.

At that time, he had an idea. With his perfect memory, could he also master the acting method by memory?

Although it is said that when someone is acting, there are countless ways to act.

But in fact, no matter how large the reserves are, they are limited.

After taking acting classes for a month, I learned some things from the big guys at the People's Art Theatre and understood the differences between expressionism and experientialism.

Chen Linfeng's idea became stronger and stronger.

“I was wondering if I could use all possible means to memorize all the common and uncommon acting methods.

I put them into my acting library, and when I really want to act, I can use them selectively.”

Cui Xinqin’s first reaction was that it was impossible.
