No matter in study or work, everyone has the experience of writing papers and is familiar with them. With the help of papers, we can discuss problems and conduct academic research. Do you know how to write a paper correctly? The following is my thesis on makeup modeling and role-to-role modeling of traditional Chinese opera. Welcome to share.
Characters are the core content of China's traditional opera performances, and vivid images can directly show the psychological and physiological characteristics of characters to the audience, thus resonating with the audience spiritually. The image of traditional Chinese opera can be summarized into three parts: society, psychology and appearance. They are interdependent and cooperate with each other, showing the social environment, life education background, interpersonal relationship, inner temperament and hobbies of the characters to the audience, bringing the audience into the drama situation, deepening the audience's perception and completing the expression of drama emotions. This paper analyzes the characterization of traditional Chinese opera, and analyzes the modeling and role through the makeup of traditional Chinese opera, so as to improve the artistry and authenticity of traditional Chinese opera performance.
Keywords drama makeup; Modeling and role; Characterization; Relationship;
The key to China's traditional opera performance is the characterization, which is closely related to the previous role makeup and modeling. With the development of society, cosmetic technology has also made great progress. Before performing, an opera singer should not only ponder and analyze the characters he is performing, but also complete the image play with the help of makeup technology, so as to bring the audience into the real situation as soon as possible, improve the performance effect, deepen the audience's understanding and emotional experience of the opera and improve the performance level of the opera.
First, the uniqueness of traditional Chinese opera makeup
There are essential differences between drama makeup and life makeup. Life makeup is to beautify the external image and make people look more energetic, while drama makeup is to complete the shaping of characters, let actors imitate their roles more truly and intuitively, and show the external image and internal changes of characters. Although the performance of China traditional opera expresses the overall image of the characters through professional skills such as singing, reciting and playing, the audience's understanding of the actors' limbs and expressions will be different due to different cognitive, perceptual deviation and artistic understanding, and their understanding of the opera will be very different. The makeup of Chinese opera can give people a fixed impression intuitively, and let the audience have an intuitive preliminary judgment on the characters from the makeup, which plays a very good role in understanding the later behavior of the characters. For example, when people see the makeup of Cao Cao's white face in traditional Chinese opera, they can associate it with insidiousness and cunning, intuitively construct the character image, and reasonably imagine all its subsequent behaviors, thus further feeling the charm of traditional Chinese opera.
Second, the role of drama makeup
Stage figure modeling is an indispensable part of stage art modeling. The modeling of stage characters has its own unique artistic system, and presents different performance styles with the change of stage, thus enhancing the artistry of performance and meeting the spiritual needs of the audience. Make-up is an important means of shaping stage figures, aiming at infecting the audience, guiding the audience into the performance situation and rendering the real performance atmosphere. The use of traditional Chinese opera makeup can also shape different actors into stage figures that are completely opposite to the actors themselves, thus helping the actors to enhance their self-confidence and improve the stage performance effect. For example, if an actor with elegant image wants to play a brave role, he can remold the actor's facial image with the help of traditional opera makeup technology, and then achieve the brave effect through physical modification, so as to blend the two contrasting roles together well, giving people a sense of subversion and surprise.
In addition, the makeup of Chinese opera also needs to match the professional basic skills of the actors themselves, so as not to cause a sense of rigidity and affect the performance effect. Based on the characteristics of actors, to complete the characterization through makeup modeling, we should first consider the actual situation of the actors themselves and determine their degree of fit with the characters in the opera. Only in this way can we achieve a realistic effect through makeup, so as to better shape the image and make the actors' expressions and actions become the expression of the real feelings of the characters in the opera. In China traditional opera performances, actors play a variety of roles, and it often happens that the actors themselves do not match the roles. At this time, it is necessary to combine makeup artist to achieve the purpose of portraying characters and improve the performance level.
Third, the help of makeup modeling in shaping characters.
(A) can enrich the character.
To shape the characters, we need to start with the details and see the real kung fu in the nuances, especially in shaping the characters of Chinese opera. If you want to portray the details of makeup modeling, you need a makeup artist to thoroughly understand the script, be familiar with the role, give the role an accurate positioning, and then combine the role image and role positioning to design a makeup modeling that meets the requirements, thus presenting the audience's favorite and expressive role. For example, to express an ordinary laborer, if he just sings lyrics and performs actions, people will feel that there is almost nothing, but if he wears well-designed clothes, it will be more acceptable to people. On this basis, they will use oil paints to make up an image of a worker with rough skin and weather-beaten, which will greatly improve the expressive force of the characters. Therefore, clothing and makeup can greatly improve the expressive force of characters, and can directly convey information such as their age, occupation, family and personality, which is the quickest way to express characters. Therefore, in the preparation of traditional Chinese opera performance, an important content is clothing and makeup, and the understanding and positioning of the role should be integrated into the modeling. For example, the clown in Chinese drama, in order to let the audience immediately see the funny state of the characters in the drama, and at the same time, in order to make the actors more vivid and true, the makeup artist will adjust the facial features of the actors with cosmetics such as oil paints.
(B) can improve the image of actors.
The actor's understanding and grasping of the role is a gradual and in-depth process, and there will be some shortcomings at the beginning. To make up for this deficiency, actors need to constantly improve their performance ability and skills, deeply understand the role, supplemented by certain makeup and modeling, so as to complete the final positioning of the role, and through the concerted efforts of both inside and outside, create a perfect role image that meets the requirements of the script. In this process, the makeup artist should intervene in advance, analyze the script, grasp the plot, the characteristics of the characters and the relationship between the characters, so as to understand the requirements of the role image for makeup modeling, realize the unity of the actor and the role through appropriate makeup, and narrow the psychological distance between the actor and the role. Make-up artists should master the artistic skills of modeling, such as showing resolute and firm men with prominent eyebrow angles and gentle and graceful women with flat thin eyebrows. In a word, makeup modeling is to enlarge the characteristics needed by the role and weaken the characteristics that the role does not need, thus improving the artistic image of the actor.
(C) can reproduce the artistic charm of the classic image
During the long development of China opera, many classic artistic images have been left behind. These classic artistic images all have exquisite stage makeup modeling, which creates an impressive stage image and endows the role with immortal vitality. In the current opera performance, it is also very common to reinterpret the classic plays. When reinterpreting, facing the new social and historical period, how to inherit the classics and have the new ideas of the times, seek change in stability and reproduce the vitality of the classic artistic image has become the first problem that makeup artists should consider. Taking the Yue Opera Dream of Red Mansions as an example, Wang's portrayal of Lin Daiyu has been widely recognized by the audience. In this case, it will be difficult for the audience to accept the same role created by others. In order to reflect new ideas, his disciple Wang Zhiping modified Lin Daiyu's makeup, and designed a new makeup according to his actual situation and his grasp of the role, which achieved great success. This shows that the design, makeup and modeling of the role should conform to the times and reflect the aesthetic characteristics of the times.
Fourthly, the characterization of traditional Chinese opera should be integrated with cosmetic modeling.
Makeup modeling is external, which shapes the appearance of characters. If the appearance really shows its due effect, it needs to be consistent with the inner spirit of the characters, that is, the form and spirit should be perfectly unified, which is what we often say. Only the unity of form and spirit can achieve the goal of shaping a perfect artistic image. In order to achieve this goal, makeup artists and actors need to constantly ponder over their works and deepen their understanding of the characters in the play. Make-up artists should fully communicate with the actors, exchange their views on the role, and practice and revise it repeatedly, so as to realize the accurate positioning of the role in the play. In this process, the role of makeup modeling is not simple copying, but an artistic creation. On the basis of processing, it creates a stage image that can reflect the essential characteristics of actors and roles and meet the requirements of traditional Chinese opera performance. Make-up artists should give full play to their artistic imagination, work with actors to create images that conform to artistic laws according to their own understanding of the plot and characters, and perfectly integrate artistic images with makeup modeling.
Five, the strategy of shaping typical characters through makeup
(A) respect for the script
Creating artistic images through traditional Chinese opera makeup is based on the script and a re-creation of the characters in the script. Therefore, makeup needs to closely combine with the requirements of the script, fully express the style and theme of the script, rationally use the method of traditional Chinese opera makeup, shape the characters that meet the requirements of the script, and show the psychological changes of the characters. It is also one of the principles of art to fully reflect the truth of life when shaping characters. It is necessary to combine real life and make up according to the characteristics and state of the characters in life, so that the created stage characters will be full of life breath, which can effectively enhance the artistic appeal of the characters and be closer to the psychological orientation of the masses.
(2) follow the laws of art.
Traditional opera makeup is to create rich and typical artistic images, so we should follow the laws of traditional opera art. Makeup is to create characters, but it can't be reproduced simply and stiffly, but should be carried out on the basis of following the artistic laws. This requires makeup artists to go deep into life, learn to think and observe, observe all kinds of people around them on the basis of in-depth study of scripts and plots, and grasp their different personality characteristics and facial features. When creating characters through makeup, we should also pay attention to the scenes, environment and cultural background of the characters' lives, so as to make the characters closer to real life.
(3) Combined with stage lighting
Make-up also needs to cooperate with stage factors, including stage lighting. Anyone who has seen China's traditional opera performances knows that the stage is usually directly illuminated by various strong lights, so if the lighting factor is not taken into account, the effect of makeup will be greatly weakened, causing the characters to look pale. Therefore, the makeup artist should combine the effect of stage lighting to make up, which can not only reflect the layering of the characters' faces, but also enhance the facial expression effect. Make-up artists should fully understand the knowledge of China traditional operas, which will help to better shape the characters in the drama and show their aesthetic pursuit.
(D) the rational use of color
Shaping characters through makeup is actually a scientific use of color. The makeup of Chinese opera needs to use clean and concise colors to highlight the role of colors in character decoration. Make-up should combine the characteristics of the characters to be shaped, decorate the face with pigments of corresponding colors, and highlight the characters through their appearance characteristics to make them more typical.
Conclusion of intransitive verbs
Make-up in traditional Chinese opera is to better shape the characters, and it is a means to show the typical characteristics of the characters and shape the characters that the script wants to express. Make-up is an important part of China traditional opera art. Make-up should fully consider the characters' personality, age, cultural level and social background, enhance the sense of substitution of actors, narrow the distance between actors and roles, integrate actors and roles as much as possible, give full play to the role of makeup in shaping characters, and better show the artistic charm of opera.
