It is incorrect to say that it is a very simple thing for an opera actor to cry in a play.

In drama performances, crying is a very important professional skill. In crying scenes, natural expression of emotions and good use of skills can improve the actor's acting skills a lot. So, how to do it? Only in this way can you perform the crying scene well. If we want to perform a crying scene well, first of all, we must have a certain understanding of crying scenes.

The reason why we cry is generally to find the inner motivation. That is to say, when we express our projection to the outside world, we must go through real psychological activities, such as when we are under strong stimulation. Cry bitterly, cry with joy when you succeed, sob when you are in pain, etc.

Expression forms of crying scenes

1. Crying is related to each person’s personality.

Different personalities show different ways of crying. For example, there are obvious differences between weak girls and strong men.

Crying contains rich emotional content and displays different states of people. One principle we need to grasp is that we must strive to devote ourselves to a specific role in a controlled manner, and we cannot cry just for the sake of crying.

2. The physical expression of crying.

In addition to sound, crying also has some specific physical manifestations.

① Sobbing. Generally speaking, when a person is sobbing, he lowers his head and covers his face, accompanied by shrugging of shoulders, and breaths of varying lengths.

② Crying, this emotion is generally manifested as the heart is filled with extreme pain, but cannot be expressed. If you want to cry but can't, you can only swallow the tears into your body. There are many such examples. In many movies, oppressed women in old societies often show such a state when they are suffering.

③ Crying and crying are also relatively common. They are expressed in the form of crying and talking at the same time, or howling and talking at the same time. For example, we are familiar with the aria of "Little Baicai", "Little Baicai, the earth." It's so yellow..." There are also "The Little Widow Visits the Grave" which is often recorded in Shanxi folk literature, etc., all of which belong to the genre of crying. It must be noted that crying is actually more of a complaint. Complaining is the subject, and crying is a state.

④ Fake crying. Many professional drummers and so on that appear in rural areas now actually fall into the scope of howling. The specific manifestation is that there is heavy thunder but little rain, or there is only thunder but no rain. A few years ago, director Liu Bingjian made a movie called "The Crying Woman" based on real social news. It tells the story of a woman who made a career out of mourning for others.
