" The use of an actor's gaze is basically supported by emotion. Of course, other than that, it is also affected by the performance environment, lighting, state, and other comprehensive factors. From a technical point of view, it is to capture the 'visual image', experience the emotion, and then express it.”
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Ju Jinyi nodded, then shook her head.""I don't really understand. Tell me more in detail.”
Shen Yan sorted out his thoughts and thought about how to express the obscure words in his mind in a simple way.
"'The beauty of a person lies in his face, and the beauty of his face lies in his eyes!'If there was nothing in his eyes, then there was nothing in the show. Oh right, you should have seen Journey to the West, right? Teacher Zhang Jinlai was very lively when he performed the role of Sun Wukong. A sly look in his eyes was enough to express the emotions he wanted to express. This was a perfect manifestation.”
" There's also Charles Leong. His eyes have always been praised as a 'textbook' performance. They are melancholic and profound, and they often have a great 'lethality' without even saying a word. They can make the audience completely immerse themselves in the story. To put it simply, they are in the same situation and feel the same way.”
After comparing the two examples, Ju Jinyi nodded in confusion, as if she had understood something.
"Is your gaze really that important? The audience shouldn't be able to see these details, right?”
Shen Yan shook his head and said,"" In a play, the 'hands, eyes, body, technique, and footwork' are the most important. The 'eyes' technique is ranked second, so you can imagine how important it is. Putting aside the play, the movie screen exaggerates the actors 'expressions, so the eyes play a significant role in the performance.”
"During the performance, as long as the eyes wander, no matter how rich the emotions are, the audience will easily 'act out'.”
……
Ju Jinyi listened attentively. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't do it, she would have written it down in a small notebook.
Compared to those obscure and difficult professional theories, Shen Yan's explanation was simple.
Moreover, he used various classic cases as a comparison to make people accept and absorb it better while being convinced.
Shen Yan seemed to have transformed into a teacher. He spoke in detail and was very engrossed. He did not realize that there was already a circle of people around him.
There were the program team staff and the staff from the small theater. They were all listening with great interest, and no one made a sound to disturb them.
There seemed to be a strange expression on their faces. It was as if they had heard Shen Yan's description. Acting…did not seem that difficult…
At the same time, this scene happened to appear in the live broadcast room, and bullet comments came one after another.
"Heavens! Why do I have the urge to learn acting as I listen? Can I enter the entertainment industry if I'm ugly?”
"I didn't expect him to speak so well. I'm an actor in the production team, but he speaks even better than our external tutor. Teacher Shen, Teacher Shen!”
"Tsk, tsk. I didn't expect him to not only have superb archery skills, but also be able to speak and perform well. I wonder who he is!”
"Just like how a butcher dissects a cow, he analyzed an obscure passage in detail. After removing the dross, the rest is the essence. He benefited a lot and felt a lot!”
……
When the last beam of light disappeared from the stage, the snow-white light suddenly slanted down.
Shen Yan and Xu Qing bowed deeply to the audience and walked backstage together.
Coincidentally, there was a large group of people gathered in the slightly narrow aisle. It looked very crowded.
"What's going on?" Xu Qing twisted her slim waist and took two steps forward. Then, she saw Shen Yan looking down at Ju Jinyi as if he was talking about something. He seemed to be serious.
At first, she didn't think much of it. Just as she was about to push the crowd away, she suddenly froze.
She realized that Shen Yan was talking about a broad and slightly empty topic like 'acting skills'.
What made her even more surprised was that this very young-looking boy actually spoke so logically.
Even she, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, felt that she had benefited a lot.
How could he study it so deeply?
Wasn't he a newcomer who had just debuted?
Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he stood at the edge of the crowd and listened attentively.
Her expression was exactly the same as the others. They all had a thirst for knowledge.
She recalled a long time ago when she was still a young girl sitting on a small stool.
Her mentor was a relatively rigid old scholar. He wore a pair of presbyopic glasses with gold rims and started talking about the basics of an actor. In the blink of an eye, so much time had passed…
At this moment, Xu Qing seemed to have returned to the time when he was listening to the lecture, and Shen Yan's shadow slowly overlapped with the old pedant's.
"Alright, time is of the essence. Let's stop here.”
Shen Yan smiled gently at Ju Jinyi.
"Alright then." Ju Jinyi nodded. Although she still wanted more, she knew that now was not the time. If she missed the competition, it would be a loss.
Xu Qing was listening attentively at the back when the crowd in front of her suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, instantly exposing her.
" Uh…" She awkwardly greeted,""Hello."
Ju Jinyi was stunned for a moment when she saw her. She took a deep breath and said,""Your third group has already ended?”
Xu Qing had already regained her composure." Yes, it just ended not long ago. They should be counting the votes backstage now."”
Ju Jinyi was a little nervous. She knew that it was her turn next.
Xu Qing's gaze passed her and landed on Shen Yan. He smiled and said,""I just listened for a while. Your idea is very good.”
Shen Yan nodded politely.”
Xu Qing walked over and patted him on the shoulder."When do you have time? We can discuss it together."
Shen Yan subconsciously glanced at Ju Jinyi and found that her face had changed slightly, like a little fox whose tail had been stepped on.
"There will be a chance." Shen Yan shrugged his shoulders and pointed at the stage, indicating that he was about to perform on stage.
Xu Qing was a little disappointed that he didn't recover properly, but he didn't show it on his face."Alright, let's meet again. I'm getting more and more interested in you.”
She felt that Shen Yan was full of mystery. He was like a deep well that she could not see to the bottom.
It was the same back at the Shooting Club, and it was even more so now.
She wanted to remove the layers of veil and see Shen Yan's true colors.
