After Yu Dong gave the magazine to Liu Ye, he found a chair in the practice room and sat down, quietly watching the students rehearse.
Xu Zheng is right. Rehearsing a play from scratch is indeed difficult for these students who have just learned acting for less than a year.
But what pleased Yu Dong was that the students were very motivated and showed perseverance and desire to perform.
Zu Feng and others decided on the role of Hu Jing first, and everyone agreed that she was more suitable to play Gu Jun.
Gu Jun is one of four students. She is beautiful, but her family is not happy. Her parents are semi-divorced. She has lived in this environment for a long time and has a rebellious personality.
After her role was decided, Zu Feng came over and asked Yu Dong: "Teacher, what do you think of Hu Jing playing Gu Jun?"
Just now Hu Jing tried out a scene with Gu Jun, and Yu Dong was watching it too.
"The image is more suitable, but Hu Jing's understanding of this role is still a bit off." At this point, Yu Dong frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Or maybe it's not a matter of understanding the character, but about the profession of actor.
Understand the problem.”
Zu Feng didn't know why, "Teacher, how do you say this?"
Hu Jing was also listening. When she heard what Yu Dong said was not good, she pursed her lips in grievance.
Yu Dong saw her pouting and frowned: "How can you be an actor with your mentality?"
Hu Jing was startled and did not dare to pout. She could only look at Yu Dong helplessly.
Yu Dong did not look at her again and continued: "Gu Jun is a very rebellious girl. Her family environment has shaped her character. She is irritable, likes to use swear words, and is very sensitive. Hu Jing just tried
In this scene, Gu Jun and his classmate Chen Xiaoguang had a conflict. The reason was that Chen Xiaoguang's mother went around telling people about what was going on in Gu Jun's family, which made Gu Jun feel very embarrassed. What do you still think about the line she said to Chen Xiaoguang while patting the table?
Do you remember?"
The students all scratched their heads. After all, it had only been a short time since they got the script, so how could they memorize all the lines?
Yu Dong looked at Hu Jing: "Hu Jing, do you remember?"
Hu Jing hesitated and said: "Remember something."
"Tell me, how did you write the script?"
"Gu Jun said, you are not talking nonsense? Why is she so concerned about other people's affairs? If you are so obedient, just... don't talk to me."
"Is this an original line from my script?"
"I... don't remember clearly."
Yu Dong looked at Hu Jing with a half-smile: "I think it's not that you can't remember your lines, but that you can't speak them out."
"I……"
"The original line written in my script should be: Are you talking nonsense? Is it a bitch for her to care so much about other people's affairs? If you listen to your mother like that, get the hell out of here."
"Teacher Yu has a really good memory." Zhang Changjiang suddenly flattered him.
Yu Dong glanced at this kid and scolded: "Get out of here."
Zhang Changjiang shrank his head and did not dare to speak anymore.
Yu Dong has lived for such a long time, and of course he can see the little Jiujiu in Zhang Changjiang's belly. This kid likes Hu Jing, so he goes around the corner to help Hu Jing out of trouble.
However, Yu Dong's scolding also frightened Hu Jing so much that the little girl couldn't help but shrink back from Mei Ting next to her.
"Hu Jing, do you think this line is too vulgar to say?"
"I'm not..." Hu Jing wanted to defend, but didn't know how to say it, because Yu Dong really hit her mark.
She always felt that Gu Jun's lines were too vulgar. Gu Jun was obviously a junior high school student, but he always spoke in foul language.
Yu Dong saw that she had an idea and said, "If you have any different opinions, you can raise them."
Hu Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally summoned up the courage to say: "Teacher, can't Gu Jun's rebellion be internal and silent? Is it too deliberate to have to show it so obviously and so vulgarly?"
After finishing speaking, she looked at Yu Dong with some fear.
But what she didn't expect was that instead of scolding Yu Dong, he laughed: "It's good to be able to put forward your own ideas. Everyone has their own way of shaping a character. But you seem to have forgotten that I am here
I told you in the literature drama class that the tension of drama lies in conflict, contradiction, and exaggeration. Especially in dramas, no one in the audience can hear the inner thoughts of the characters, so you need to use lines and lines with tension.
body to present the content.”
"If I were writing a novel today, I could naturally use another method to shape the character of Gu Jun, give her more inner monologues, and add more small details of life that are difficult for others to observe. I could also
Use a large number of symbols to 'hunt' this character. These things can be achieved by the author with a pen. However, when you stand on the stage and face the audience, what you have to consider is whether the audience can observe
to these things you designed.”
The students didn't say anything, but it was clear from their expressions that they listened to Yu Dong's words.
Since it was a rehearsal, Yu Dong didn't want to waste too much of their time, and said with a smile: "I'll just say a few more words about drama. As for the performance, I will tell Teacher Cui and let her do it."
You guys adjust it. I didn’t expect that I asked you to liberate your nature, but now you can’t even say a few swear words.”
After talking about Hu Jing's matter, it was already past six o'clock. Yu Dong said something to Xu Zheng, and the two of them left the practice room.
After leaving the practice room, Yu Dong smiled and said: "What's your impression of these students?"
"They are all pretty good. Some students have poor foundations, but they have great potential. For example, Teacher Yu, the Hu Jing you criticized just now, although she has a problem of being too shy to let go, she still has a good grasp of the role. Even though she has a certain grasp of the role.
She will still not be able to let go in the future, as long as we find a suitable role for her, she can perform very well."
"But the upper limit is there."
Xu Zheng nodded. He knew that Yu Dong was right. If an actor's role is limited, then the upper limit will never be very high.
"If you are not in a hurry to return to Shanghai in the past two days, you can guide them more and communicate with them more. Although they are only freshmen now, you may have many opportunities to work together in the future." Yu
Dong said with a smile.
Xu Zheng rolled his eyes. He heard the implication of Yu Dong's words and nodded immediately: "I understand."
…
Xu Zheng did not leave the next day and stayed at Jinyi for a week. He went to rehearse "Huayu" with the students in the acting class at the same time and at the same time every day. He also had a substitute role - the principal of Huayu Middle School.
It has to be said that those who have experienced it are different. Xu Zheng is different from other students as soon as he takes action. Although he is only in his twenties, he has no problem playing a middle school principal in his fifties.
And because he was not a teacher, he had no airs in front of the students, so he quickly became familiar with them.
When it came time for him to leave Jinyi and return to Shanghai, the students in the acting class taught him a lesson.
In fact, Yu Dong asked Xu Zheng to guide the students in the performance class to rehearse the drama. On the one hand, he certainly wanted the students in the performance class to learn from Xu Zheng and make progress. On the other hand, he also really wanted Xu Zheng to get familiar with the students.
, to facilitate subsequent cooperation.
"Love Through Time" is about to be filmed, and the male lead will most likely be Xu Zheng. As for the female lead, Yu Dong now has two candidates in mind, one is Li Bing and the other is Hu Jing.
