Wang Qin was also sowhat surprised. He had originally planned to guide her a little, but unexpectedly, Qianxun acted like a seasoned veteran, and didn’t need his help at all.
After this scene was smoothly completed, Wang Qin couldn’t help but step forward, smiling faintly as he watched Qianxun and asked, "Did you co from a professional background?"
Her every move didn’t seem like that of a newcor.
Director Li had even told him to help her get into her role, but now it seed, that might not be necessary.
Hearing Wang Qin’s words, Qianxun shook her head and said, "No, I’m not, but I’ve read several books on the subject."
At this, Wang Qin was montarily stunned.
She had only read the theory, and yet she could perform to this extent?
For a mont, Wang Qin beca intrigued, and then he started to ask Qianxun about her views on various acting schools.
You can tell whether it’s a mule or a horse when you pull it out for a stroll.
Whether she was lying or not, a discussion would make it clear.
...
At this ti, Li Man ca over to touch up Qianxun’s makeup.
While Li Man brushed her face, Qianxun continued to share her thoughts with Wang Qin, "I’ve only read the theory, but I personally prefer the Experiential school. I don’t like to take risks with myself, so I’m not very interested in the thod school..."
Nowadays, there are mainly three schools of acting: presentational, thod, and experiential.
The presentational style is simplest; it’s about understanding the character and then using various forms to highlight the character’s features. The thod style, on the other hand, demands actors maintain the sa ntal state as their character, both on and off screen, placing high demands on the actor’s personal experiences. For instance, to effectively portray a disabled person, soone might need to spend several weeks in a wheelchair to experience the life of a disabled person. Without similar experiences, it would be hard to convincingly play the role. Also due to this, thod actors often find it hard to return to normal life after filming, struggling to "exit their characters," and so have even ended their lives because of this.
Experiential acting, in a nutshell, is about transforming oneself from the inside out into the character. For example, in "Emperor Ming", an actor needs to believe they are living in that era in order to think and live like the character.
The reason Qianxun perford so seamlessly, according to the schools, was because she actually lived in ancient tis.
But if she hadn’t lived in ancient tis, to perform as naturally as she had just done, she would need to subconsciously consider herself as Hong Xiu, combining the character’s living environnt and other factors to most authentically portray the character’s life.
Compared to the thod school, the experiential school is much safer, but also much more difficult, and those adept at experiential acting are usually talented geniuses in acting.
Therefore, when Lin Yihan heard Qianxun tell Wang Qin that she preferred the experiential school, he couldn’t help but sneer silently.
Did you think that just because you passed the simplest scene, you are a one-in-a-hundred acting genius?
Such ignorance of the lofty and the profound!
Who doesn’t know that the experiential school is the most difficult of the three schools?
And soone of the Movie Emperor caliber like Wang Qin often uses the thod school.
Swinging a big saber in front of Guan Gong, or wielding an ax in front of Lu Ban, isn’t afraid of laughing people’s teeth off.
...
However, to Lin Yihan’s disappointnt, Wang Qin, after hearing Qianxun’s words, didn’t get angry with her for not agreeing with the thod acting approach; instead, he nodded and said, "It seems you have really studied acting theory well. But no excellent actor uses only one school to act; once you have been in the industry longer, you might change your mind."
Experiential acting is too difficult!
He had studied it as well, but ultimately couldn’t easily imrse himself into a character, while with the thod school, as long as he had similar experiences, he could portray the character well.
