Why can actors cry directly?

Answer 1

The main reasons why actors could cry were as follows:

** 1. Method of Borrowing External Force **
1. ** Breathing Technique **
- Using a specific breathing method, such as raising the head to about 90 degrees, inhaling through the nose, exhaling through the mouth, and repeating it several times, coupled with a line (repeated), through this breathing method to stimulate the eyes and emotions, and then crying in 30 seconds.
2. ** Using items to stimulate **
- Onions or eye drops were used. The smell of onions could smoke the eyes and cause tears. Eye drops could also be directly dripped into the eyes to create the appearance of tears. Then, the actor would show a sad look.
3. ** Music is exciting **
- Play a sad background music or song that works for you during the performance. By setting off the atmosphere, you can find the feeling of wanting to cry, so that tears will flow out.
4. ** Special tear-inducing method **
- For example, the tear-inducing method of eating mustard, which was first invented by Stephen Zhou, would make the actor not only cry but also choke his nose, showing a very real sad scene.
- Because Chen Weiting had dry eyes, it was difficult for him to cry naturally. He would apply a tear stick to the corner of his eyes and mix it with eye drops to make the tears flow out continuously. Then, he would add emotions to the crying scene.

** 2. Ways to move the heart **
1. ** Scene changed **
- When an actor was performing a crying scene, he would quickly put himself in a painful mood by recalling the sad things he had experienced personally, such as the death of a loved one, the grievances he had suffered, the accusations he had made for nothing, the eternal loss, the misunderstanding of his friends, the pain of unrequited love, and so on, thus forcing himself to cry.
2. ** Character brought in **
- Actors like Zhang Yi had to read the script to get into the role and cry. When filming Eight Hundred, he played the role of Old Abacus. Through in-depth understanding of the character, he entered the scene and became the character himself. He cried when he begged for the Dragon Boat Festival to let him go.
3. ** From the heart **
- Zhao Liying advocated a natural way of crying. It came from the heart. Even with the help of eye drops, she had to first build up her emotions and finally achieve a performance that came from the heart. She let the tears flow naturally. No matter what kind of emotion it was, it was easy to move people.
