How to create characters in traditional Chinese opera

1, read the script at the beginning, walk into the plot and understand the author's intention:

The relatively effective and feasible method of reading scripts can be divided into "four steps".

The first step is to be a reader.

The second step is to read with dramatic eyes.

The third step is to read with the eyes of the role.

The fourth step should be completed after the director explains.

2. Understand the director's intention and unify the acting ideas;

Under the director's conception of the overall design of the future drama, give full play to his creativity and think about how to shape the role.

3, reread the script, rational understanding of the role:

Just like making friends, learn about life experience, birth, social relations, historical background and even personality, hobbies, specialties, advantages and disadvantages of roles and so on.

4. Learn to sing:

Drama is about feelings, and it is sung with "heart". Being able to use your voice is only the foundation, and then it should be further sublimated into singing the voice of the character from the perspective of the character and the specified situation.

5, sit row:

This rehearsal method is also called "script matching" in some traditional Chinese opera groups, which can be closer to the role in language, psychology and image thinking before entering rehearsal.
