If you shoot the same shot 100 times, you contribute a high-quality fragment, OK, that’s enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do Wong Kar-wai’s movies love to produce film emperors and empresses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Polished out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Other directors wish they could pass in one take to save film, but he really goes for more than 100 takes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, back to the point—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For actors, the overall difficulty of theater performance is obviously higher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But at the same time, film and television performance has higher requirements for micro-expressions like eyes than theater performance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fundamental purpose of the two is different, leading to the emergence of differences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this is exactly why the Stanislavski teaching ignores the body—in film and television dramas, subtle facial expressions are ranked first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then this has another problem: your training system is not sound, how can there be no price?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stanislavski can give at most a 90-point answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grotowski is different. We value physicality the most because we believe that only by starting from the body can we dig out the most extreme emotions.

OK, use it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the actor gives a surprise of finally being liberated, with a longing for the future, released very excitedly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no big problem with performing like this, but, can the freedom of ending studies really be compared to the freedom of rebirth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the problem is, if you give a little more emotion, it immediately looks exaggerated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The precision is not enough, wanting to make up for it in quantity, that definitely won't work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So look, facing very special performance needs, most people can't perform well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, if you are called to the field, and you insist on the highest intensity dolphin training and flying training every day, then you don't need to perform at all—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Find the emotion of that moment, look up, take a look at the lens, that’s enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I super, awesome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xinghe understood, and because he understood, he was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The underlying core of Grotowski and Stanislavski both emphasize \"starting from experience,\" but Grotowski is more extreme, through the principle of \"body and emotion are connected,\" to dig out all kinds of emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it is more real, more cruel, more pious, and more aggressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xinghe finally knew why Feng Yuanzheng could perform An Jiahe so pervertedly, because related training includes parts specifically for digging out \"primitive beastliness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is not a simple brutality, but a more naked animality, the most simple, the most profound, the most honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xinghe finally confirmed that the Grotowski school was born for special emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know, not every performance system has specific actor training methods. Stanislavski has it, method school has it, but the two of them combined are not as extreme as Grotowski.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh, simple understanding: especially good at performing perverts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Grotowski actors are also damn perverted to themselves...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This day, Fang Xinghe’s training lasted for a full eight hours, excluding the middle meal and rest, almost always doing various high-intensity movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Teacher Feng let him go home, he was so tired that he almost didn't want to move again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by 9 o'clock, the boy still tried hard to climb up and wrote a piece of insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The basic skills of actors—voice, lines, shape, performance—are essentially pursuing the liberation of one’s own body and achieving control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Control is the skill of an actor’s life and the basis of all presentation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Performing in life is a thing without a threshold, however, true and vivid film and television drama performance is an art that extremely needs talent and extremely needs persistence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Controlling tear glands, controlling eyes, controlling facial muscles, doing all this is just getting started, there are many difficulties behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The good news is that Grotowski’s upper limit is very high, and it can cross all obstacles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The bad news is that Grotowski is indeed hard.
