Chapter 132 Schools of Acting
"You said you wanted to ask about the situation of the scene at the Execution Platform, right?" Lu Bowen asked, sitting on the sofa opposite Ling Xia.
Ling Xia nodded, indicating that she had indeed come to see him for that reason.
Lu Bowen smiled slightly, indicating that he understood Ling Xia's doubts. "That scene was actually a manifestation of your immersion in the role. It is very difficult for an actor to get into character. He must experience all the emotions of the character he is playing. You were indeed in character at that time."
"Getting into character means that at that moment I was Hua Qiangu, and not myself."
"That's right, that's exactly what you think. Simply put, it's actually one of the techniques of experiential learning."
Lu Guowen also knew that Ling Xia did not graduate from the acting department, so he gave her a general overview of the various schools of acting.
"Schools of thought are divided into experiential learning, method, and expressionism."
"Method acting requires actors to become one with the character, and the performance should leave no trace. You must believe that you are the character, and all your thoughts are the character's thoughts."
For example, if a man wants to impersonate a woman, he has to believe that his behavior, his mind, and his thoughts have to become feminine. He might have menstrual cycles, he might enjoy dressing up, looking in the mirror, and even act coquettishly towards his friends.
Ling Xia listened very attentively.
Lu Bowen continued, "Let's talk about the Method School. I think the Method School is actually the development and inheritance of the Experience School. Its theoretical basis is the performance basis of the Experience School. The Method School requires performers to imagine the performance."
To give another example, if two men fall in love, they will be labeled as homosexuals. A method actor would imagine his partner as a woman and then perform that role. So this is the difference between method and experience acting.
“The performance style is when you conceive of a character in your mind, including his thought patterns and behavior, and then you can imitate the fictional character in your mind to perform.”
Bowen said a lot, and Ningxia also felt resentment and listened to a lot. In the end, Lu Bowen said that if they wanted to know anything else after making a decision, they could still ask him for advice.
......
Time flies like water, and years pass like a shuttle.
half a month later.
Imperial High School.
The backstage area of the auditorium.
Yi Minghao was waiting backstage to go on stage to perform. Thanks to his company's connections, the school had given him the closing act spot for their high school graduation gala. Normally, this wouldn't have been a problem. But there was someone ahead of him who liked to sing and be a live streamer.
The streamer thought she could be the grand finale thanks to her rising popularity, but then someone unknown snatched the spotlight from her, and she was furious.
Eventually, all the students who were performing realized that Yi Minghao had snatched the final performance because he was rich. As a result, all the performers kept their distance from him, but because he was very handsome, quite a few female students still secretly watched him.
Yi Minghao sat quietly in the corner, guitar in hand. He knew that no matter how he explained, everyone would be unaware. He figured it was better to use his talent to dispel their suspicions. He believed in Ling Xia's work and in his ability. Besides, his opponents weren't them, but everyone on the Rising Stars list. Thinking this, he felt a surge of courage.
"Brother, aren't you going to comfort Minghao?" A fat man and a thin man stood at the corner of the corridor, their eyes seemingly fixed on Yi Minghao. The thinner man said with some concern.
"No need, this is the pressure that people in the entertainment industry have to accept." The fat man leaning against the wall shook his head. He was used to seeing many people who belittle others and look down on those who are successful.
The entertainment industry is like a whirlpool; if you don't strive to climb up, you'll be swept into the whirlpool and never be able to get out.
Hao Hao was the child he chose. He knew him well. Although Hao Hao seemed quiet, he was a person who never gave up.
This morning, as expected, Qiangyin Music sent out Yue Tong, who was ranked number one on the Rising Star Chart, in an attempt to regain the top spot.
So what Teacher Xia thought at the time was completely correct. He had already listened to Le Tong's new song "Running" that morning. Running together is a very fast-paced song that roughly describes what youth is like.
Now all we can do is wait and see how the students and leaders react after Minghao finishes singing. Although the auditorium of Imperial High School can only seat a few thousand Minghao students, a small society can already reflect the reaction of the larger society.
Then we can promote it, and it would be best if our classmates could help us spread the word, which would greatly increase the fans' loyalty to the song.
