" Jialing River Water rolls eastward like a boiling pot, the red sun is as hot as a fire, and the pedestrians on the road are heartbroken..." After 42 years of the Shanghai Theatre entrance examination, on October 22, actor Liu Wei talked about the performance of the exam and came out. At the 80th performance teaching seminar on the performance department, one of the series of professional development strategies for Shanghai Opera Drama Film and Television Performance, the 80th grade students gathered together online and offline. This group of well-known actors over 60 years old missed not only the performance knowledge they learned at school, but also the style of teachers.
Teacher gave me the belief that I can be an actor
Ding Jiali specially asked the crew for leave to attend the meeting. When she was admitted to the Shanghai Opera Performance Department in 1980, she had been exploring the road to becoming an actor for three years. Ding Jiali went through many twists and turns in the exam, "I wanted to be an actor since I was a child, but I didn't get into the Jiamusi Theatre Troupe in my hometown at the beginning. My neighbor said, 'You can be an actor, and everyone in the Jiamusi can be a person.'" In Beijing, Ding Jiali ate steamed buns and pickled vegetables soup, but got nothing in the art exam. At the worst time, she had no place to live, so she could only live a night on the post. "The candidates at the same time gave up. I heard that there was still a chance in Shanghai. I rushed to the Qingdao recruitment site. Unexpectedly, the registration was over. I cried at that time. I had no fare to Shanghai." The kind-hearted sergeant teacher in Shanghai gave Ding Jiali a chance to take the exam. "I recited a letter on the spot, and torture and frustration came to my heart." After the exam, Ding Jiali went to the train station and planned to go home, but she didn't expect that the teacher would chase her back from the train station. Come, "It was the teacher who gave me the belief that I can be an actor."
In 1980, Liu Wei, who was talking about crosstalk, performed a quick-paced performance in the Shanghai Theater Admissions Examination Hall. "I received a small yellow envelope from Shanghai Theater. I didn't dare to open it at my unit. I secretly ran to the poplar trees in Changchun to read the letter. My whole throat was tight, and I couldn't believe my eyes at all. I was admitted."
Qian Zhangang, who was a pharmacist at the time, accompanied me in the exam and was noticed by the Shanghai Theater teacher. He clearly remembered the content of each exam. He twisted off the light bulb in the room and installed it on the first exam. The re-examination was "fishing". "I don't know how to finish it. There was no chance at all. When I ended up, I simulated fishing and washed my hands. The teacher called me again and asked me to make up the admission ticket and letter of introduction." In the third exam, the candidate was asked to go and smooth things over, and Qian Zhangang didn't know anything at all. "I took off my leather shoes and walked, and my hands were like surrender." Qian Zhangang saw the teacher constantly discussing, and once thought he had lost the election. "I was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy and had a very wonderful four years. Changed the trajectory of my life. "Hong Kong Wang Xingjun from Xinjiang grew up in the Gobi Desert. There was no electric light at home. "Walking on the green train to take the exam, thanking the teacher for giving me food coupons."
Practicing from crying and laughing
students from all over the world gathered at Shanghai Theater Academy in 1980. They have different experiences and different foundations. After four years of professional training, in the next nearly 40 years, they have won the Five Project Award , Huabiao Award , Golden Rooster Award , Popular Movie Hundred Flowers Award , Wenhua Performance Award, Feitian Award , Golden Eagle Award, Plum Blossom Award , etc.
"Table 80-level teaching paradigm" has become a successful example of the teaching of drama, film and television performance at Shanghai Theatre Academy. The 80-level teaching team with Wei Shuxian as the core focuses on cultivating students' "experience" skills while focusing on cultivating the ability to "express". "At that time, the school gate was locked at 11 o'clock in the evening. The teacher climbed the iron gate and went home. It was Iron Man and Superman." On October 22, the gray-haired Wei Shuxian and her colleagues repeated the teaching concept again, "We are selecting seedlings, not talent shows." After entering the school, Ding Jiali was still an unconfident person. When she was in the sketch class, she kept secretly watching the teacher's reaction, worried that she was not an actor's material. "The teacher comforted me, 'Pick you from tens of thousands of people, you are the seedlings of the actors.' Performance training made me confident, no longer nervous, and my body became loose."
Ding Jiali's unforgettable training started with crying and laughing. "Teaching performance is particularly afraid of formalism. Film and television actors do not have a fixed program. The most important thing is to express the experience clearly."Wei Shuxian and the teaching team started with the expression of gait, laughter, and emotions, and trained students to laugh loudly, laugh silently, laugh painfully, cry loudly, cry silently and cry happily. "Every day, the school gate is not open, the teacher comes to supervise students to practice morning exercises. When encountering problems, they can only call to discuss in the middle of the night. "At Duanjun Theater, students were not allowed to wear microphones when performing on stage. The teacher also went to the vegetable market to buy fish, shrimps and crabs, made into blind boxes, and asked the students to touch them empty-handedly, record their expressions, and learn how to perform naturally.
Kang Aishi , who claimed to be a "old white paper", gave an unforgettable performance class, "The teacher asked me to attend class for 20 minutes, pretending that stomach disease was accused of it. The first stomach disease ended, and the teacher asked me to do it again. The second "stomach disease" attack occurred. All the classmates who were concerned about me started to perform "overheat". The teacher commented one by one, why did everyone not have such a big move at the beginning, and it made me understand what a performance without traces is. To perform classic Chinese drama clips, we learn the smoothing field, cloud hand , water sleeve , and to perform classic foreign drama clips, we first learn the ballet . "
does not pretend, do not bluff
" Seven or eight teachers are surrounding the students. " Zhang Qiuge's feeling is the same as Zhang Xiqian, "The teacher gave the nutrition of life to the students. "Li Xia remembered that the teacher kept holding the canteen lunch box in the morning and staring at the students in the morning. He rushed to the classroom at 8 o'clock to attend class. At night, he took his eight or nine-year-old child to watch the students in the evening self-study. "In the opera, we also felt the different performance teaching concepts in the UK, the United States and Japan. "
Liu Wei kept his performance notes from 40 years ago. When he saw the handwriting of the teacher's comments, he remembered how to learn emotional expression by observing life. "Teacher Wei took us home to see the blooming cereals and the fading flowers, went to the vegetable market to see people bargaining, and took the train to Huaibei to see farmers making pickles. Teachers often say that they do not train celebrity actors, but train people. I have learned to be a person who is a person who is calm, not pretending, and not bluffing. "
40 years have passed, and the classmates are intimate. Lin Xiaojie performs a drama in Australia. "Classmates call me every day and urge me not to visit the museum. Go and go and have a show. "
Director Mao Weining has worked with half of the 80s students, "the ability to shape the diversity characters is impressive. Liu Weineng plays the role of the old Red Army, the old peasant, and the old spy. I invited Lin Xiaojie to participate in "These Ten Years of Us". She has been in Australia for many years, but when she was a farmer, she didn't think she had gone abroad at all when she spoke. Performance DNA is engraved into everyone's bones. "
is sponsored by Shanghai Theatre Academy and hosted by The Performance Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy and the International Performing Arts Research Center to explore the future-oriented talent training system for drama, film and television performance. Xie Wei, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shanghai Theatre, summarized, "The 80th grade students are a microcosm of the talent echelon of Shanghai Theatre Academy. We will continue to study how to transform subject advantages into educational achievements. ”
