Li Yuexian's understanding and analysis of the characters of "Three Passes and Points"

In the six newly written historical dramas "Three Levels and Points of Marshal" performed by my troupe, I played the character of Yang Liulang. For nearly a thousand years, the glorious name of Yang Liulang and his combat achievements in defending the country and resisting the Liao have been praised and praised by people.

In the play "Three Passes and Points", the author deliberately portrays his vision and wisdom of considering the overall situation, being loyal to protecting the country, and the patriotic idea of raising the talents and letting the sages and his foresight and talent that are good at discovering talents, boldly using talents, and selecting talents for the country in an eclectic manner. At the same time portrayed his funny humor. Heroic and majestic character traits.

Below, I will focus on two aspects to talk about how I grasp the "point" character of "point marshal" throughout the action to explore the character's thoughts, and how to create a typical image through the singing voice. Portray the character of the character.

First, highlight a "dot" word. The "point" word of "Three Levels and Points" is the theme and main storyline of this play. It is also a major action line throughout the protagonist Yang Liulang, the first "Encounter Xian", Yang Liulang rushed into the Tianmen Array. Defeated by Xiao Tianzuo, just as a thousand guns were fired, it took only a few rounds to kill a female general, and xiao Tianzuo was defeated and fled. Yang Liulang was surprised and couldn't help but claim to be a "wizard". Here, I used an exaggerated movement to watch the female general Xiao Yong kill the enemy; It also shows Yang Liulang's heartfelt admiration and admiration for this heroine. It also left a foreshadowing for the later "juxian".

In the second scene, Yang Liulang personally went to the dragon shed to recommend a good general to the eight kings, and when the eight kings and he held up whoever was the "god general" who broke the line, he danced with his eyebrows and sang in a colorful voice. When Singing "There is a Mu Ke Zhai in Mu Shan, and there is a Mu Gui Ying in the village", in order to express the joy of his selection of a good general at this moment and the heartfelt praise for Gui Ying, I emphatically designed such an action: he proudly raised his right leg with a slap of his right hand, and once again cocked his thumb high. Then the left hand brushed his hair, this beat, a warp, a pinch, not only vividly summarized Mu Guiying's galloping battlefield, swept across the Liaokou's cool and heroic posture, but also showed Yang Liulang's excitement of cherishing talents and seeking talents. This "point" again deepened the character image of Gui Ying, who was in the limelight, and also made the audience see Yang Liulang's fiery beating heart, and every time he performed in these two places, the audience was enthusiastic, because it was vivid and vivid. It is also in line with the ideological context of the characters here and now, so it has played the role of "killing two birds with one stone" and "finishing touches". Of course, in order to express the theme of the script and shape the character of the character, it is not enough to grasp these two places, but also to properly infiltrate the concept of this "point" into the entire plot. The problem is that we must always have this "point" in our minds.

Second, use the singing voice to shape the character image. When analyzing the characters, the screenwriter and director have emphasized that it is necessary to highlight Yang Liulang's humor and humor. At first, I didn't quite understand, and I always felt that in the dramas I had seen in the past, the commander of this mighty three levels gave people the impression of being heroic and strict. Besides, the great enemy was present, no one broke the formation, he suddenly discovered this rare handsome talent, thinking that there were people who broke the array, naturally rejoicing and irrepressible. So when he praised Mu Guiying to the Eight Kings and sang "Thanks to her seeing the righteousness and courage, surprisingly winning, rampage and killing, and breaking the enemy line", I sang more and more tightly, in one breath, singing Yang Liulang's excitement, joy and excitement at this moment. If at this time he still blindly "heroic and majestic" silent, then I am afraid that instead of Yang Liulang at this moment, the audience will also feel bored, let alone love him.

For another example, when Yang Liulang saw Mu Guiying personally come to the military account, he could imagine how excited he was at this time. Thank goodness for "inviting" you here. Once again, I used a humorous and humorous way of acting. He obviously knew that Gui Ying had come here to intercede for Zong Bao, but he knowingly asked, "Temporarily hide your joy and ask, why is the young lady here?" Especially when Singing the three words of "Miss Mu", I peeked at this mimosa-stricken female general with relief on the one hand, and on the other hand, I emphatically made a drag tone turn high, showing his success in "earning sages", the excitement and determination to lower the joyful mood of this little hero when breaking the line, this performance full of life interest, not only shows the characters, but also fits the style of this comedy.
