Практика Shadowing: Priyanka Chopra: Let Me Try - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

It sounds to me that you are someone who's always challenged the status quo.

You do not accept things as they are if you're not happy with it.

And I remember when I was just starting out in movies and I was meeting a lot of film producers.

There was this one producer I was talking to about this big movie with some big major male lead actors.

And he said, well, if your remuneration is not what we're willing to give you, and if your scheduling is not according to these two boys, then, well, it'll be hard for us to take you in the movie.

and so my representation at that point was like well you know she's miss world

and he was like listen let's keep it real girls are replaceable okay

so who are people coming to watch in a movie the

guy on the poster the girl is standing where behind him

so if she if i change her

and i get another girl she's still going to be doing the same thing

if i don't get another girl i'll just launch a new actress

and i remember sitting there in that office

and i must have been all of 19 or 20

and somewhere i think psychologically it really affected me i was like wow we're really

replaceable i don't want to be replaceable and i think

that lent me towards doing the parts that i chose eventually through my career

and they were not mainstream

and they were not what leading ladies do you know they were not norm

because leading ladies don't say lines like

that that's why i was a supporting part in this movie by the way it's true

but you got the best lines it sounds Yeah, but it was the supporting part because that's what supporting parts can do.

The leading ladies weren't supposed to be that.

We were supposed to be coy and shy and never say anything and look pretty and have wind in our hair.

And I really, I still love wind in my hair, by the way.

I act better with it.

But I really wanted to change the game a little, and I think that started subconscious.

Tell us a little bit more about

that culture in the Bollywood industry of the hero and then the lady or the girls behind it.

I think it's Hollywood too.

I mean, look at the movies eventually that do the numbers that they do.

Very few films that you will see will actually touch the numbers that male films do.

And why is that?

Isn't that a reflection on us as a society?

That we end up going watching those films and we make the numbers for the movies which are led by the boys.

And isn't it a reflection on Hollywood or on Bollywood or any film industry that they say, all right, the numbers come from here, so let's just make these kind of movies there are very few

which have the ability to turn around

and say like we were talking about backstage we've just about had our wonder woman

which is the first female big superhero movie directed by a female director

and that's in 2017 so it's a cycle of demand

and supply so

while people go watch it as soon as the audience starts

saying oh my god we love this movie it doesn't matter

if the main lead is a male or a female is when people are going to to start making those films.

And at the same time, those producers need to turn around and say, you know what, we don't care about who's coming to watch the films.

We still want to make it.

And that's where I think entertainment is going towards now.

So you know the film industry very well.

You know producers, you know financiers.

Wonder Woman was a massive hit.

Is that enough to make a change?

Do people listen to that kind of success?

It's a big dent.

It's definitely a big dent.

It's a dent in the conversation.

It's me being able to have an example to cite on the stage right now

when we're talking about global entertainment and

that gives us the crutch to stand on something

and say all right this happened it can happen again just

give us opportunities to make it happen let's make great films

and let's be you know let gender not be a reason why a film is made

or greenlit interesting let's talk about another film

that i think steps forward from what exactly what you're talking about

which is um fashion uh 2008 and a film that is set within a world primarily of women,

actually very different from a typical commercial movie in India.

What attracted you to that project?

So this was at a time when female-led films were considered a big risk.

And this was just 2008.

And it was considered that, you know, a female-led film is done by female actors at the end of their careers when they're like, oh, I want to win an award before I go down.

I was told that by so many filmmakers and that, you know, like this is going to be a big risk.

If the film doesn't do well, it's going to be on you and i was just in the movies about four

or five years but i just the story resonated with me

so much and it was one of the first few like female-led films

which opened to a big number on a friday not eventually did a big number

but like which opened to a big number on friday and

that was such a big dent in in the conversation for female actors i remember that time and it just

I don't know, just because everyone told me I shouldn't do it, I think I wanted to do it because

I remember I wanted to do a workshop for a film I did called Satkhun Maaf with Pankaj Kapoor,

who's a very prolific theater and film actor in India.

And I went to him and I said, sir, I'd love to do a workshop with you just 10 days, give me some of your time and just like, we go through this character.

And he said, Why do you need a workshop?

And I said, because I want to get into the nuances of the film.

And I was like being an actor, I want to take it seriously.

And he said, have you read the script?

I said, yes, sir, I have.

And he said, how many times?

I said, sir, like five times.

He said, read it 10 more times.

I said, why?

He said, the silences between lines give you the intention of a writer.

So you have to know the intention of a writer.

Why is this scene what it is?

And after this scene, why does that one come in next?

Why not something else?

Because there's got to be an intention.

And that really changed me.

So I start with reading a script so many times, understanding why a character goes from one scene to the other.

The physicality is the last thing you do.

The mental place of where a character is, where they start from, like theater, right?

100

When you walk into a stage and when you walk out of the stage, what happens in between is the story.

101

But what happens from the time they walked out to the next time you walk in?

102

That's what defines the next scene.

103

So I work with that for understanding my characters.

104

Does who you're acting with or against, does that make a difference in terms of your performance style?

105

I think the actor sucks, yeah.

106

It wouldn't help.

107

I've had those too.

108

There are so many different styles as well.

109

Some people are very method, some people don't like to, some people improvise a lot.

110

Are there also differences between say, a Ranbir Kapoor and his training and a Zac Efron in terms of how they might act with you?

111

Yeah, like completely.

112

Like Zac, he knows his lines, he needs to rehearse his lines, he like, you know, talked to the director and he just like,

113

you know, keeps saying them and he works out in the middle the whole time.

114

Does he really?

115

The whole time.

116

He does lines like this with like a resistance band.

117

Would he want us to know that?

118

Well, I've said it in 100 interviews.

119

I'll find out when I meet him next time.

120

And Ranbir, on the other hand, I don't even know if he knows his lines.

121

Like when he comes on set, he's just like, ah, and he walks in and then he says his lines and he knows them.

122

So, I mean, different people have different methods.

123

I've worked with amazing method actors, which also is a different point of view.

124

Like I'm a little bit more spontaneous and that can get dangerous sometimes because, you know, you might not hit the nail on the head every single time

125

but when you do it's sort of magic

126

because you wouldn't have done it before and you're never going to do it again.

127

But at the same time, I mean, they're different schools of thought.

128

So when you work with an actor, like I worked with a co-actor of mine who loves rehearsals and I hate rehearsals.

129

I like doing mechanical rehearsals.

130

Like I'm going to walk here and then I'm going to pick up that spoon and I'm going to say my line.

131

But then I've worked with actors who like need to know

132

when they're going to laugh and when the other person is going to laugh.

133

And I don't know that.

134

I don't know what happens between action and cuts.

135

Those times are really difficult, I guess.

136

But when you watch the movie at the end of it, I mean, you never know.

137

And those problems existed.

138

It's actually the director's problem.

139

He has to deal with it.

140

Now, we were thrilled three years ago to present the premiere of Maricom here at the festival.

141

And when I saw this film, I saw it in Bombay.

142

And I was impressed on many levels.

143

But I think, first of all, with what must have been a ridiculously intensive training period for you.

144

You play a boxer, a championship boxer, and it looks like you can do this.

145

It looks real.

146

Well, if you throw me into a boxing ring, I hold my own.

147

I probably won't survive.

148

I am not going to box you because I know I'd lose.

149

Let's just say I'm a good actor.

150

Okay.

151

I don't know boxing.

152

Well, really?

153

Okay, well, it looks real.

154

In addition to just the physical training for that film, it's a very empowering story of a woman who fights for

155

what she wants in a field where she's not even supposed to be.

156

This is something that's not typically done by women, not just in India, but in most places.

157

Tell us a little bit about deciding to do Mary Calm, where this is your movie, you're the lead, you made this happen?

158

On so many levels, this was a very challenging movie, and that's what excited me even more.

159

Give me something difficult, and I'll be the first one to say yes.

160

But this was a movie about northeast India, first of all, which sometimes Assam,

161

Sikkim, that whole region, does not even get seen as a part of the country.

162

So they're sort of ignored.

163

Now that I didn't know when I first took on the film.

164

I knew that after I spent time with Mary and her family.

165

It's based on a true story.

166

Yes, this is a true story of a five-time boxing champion, world champion.

167

And no one knew her name when we were starting.

168

I mean, people knew of her, but they didn't know what she looked like.

169

They didn't know.

170

In normal pop culture, you didn't really know her.

171

If you read an article about her, maybe.

172

She was the daughter of rice paddy farmers, extreme poverty.

173

Decided to become a boxer.

174

she was supposed to do you know race and relay

175

because that's what girls do

176

but she wanted to become a boxer her parents were against

177

it her father was completely against it she fought the grain

178

and the year mary decided to become a boxer she worked

179

so hard for it that's the year boxing became a legitimate national game in india

180

so she is someone who really stands for not just the region she comes from

181

which is very oppressed in india but also for women trying to say

182

that I'm not going to stand for what norm is.

183

And I want to do something.

184

Yeah, okay, a man does it.

185

And if I'm not good enough, it's fine.

186

I'll fail.

187

But let me try.

188

Give me the opportunity to try.

189

It's that hunger that she had that just inspired me so much to want to be her.

190

I mean, I don't even physically look like her.

191

But I just wanted to be able to give myself that.

192

And I worked very closely with her and her family.

193

And to understand the emotion behind everything that went through for her and how hard it was.

194

But it really changed me as a person as well doing this film, I think.

195

You're also doing some pretty heavyweight global stuff as well with UNICEF and with your own Priyanka Chopra Foundation.

196

Can you tell us about what you're doing for girls and women there?

197

Well, I take it very seriously.

198

We're half of the world, but we're not treated like that.

199

People forget that women's issues are human issues.

200

They're not just women's issues.

201

and people forget that humanity stands for half of us.

202

Women are child bearers and life givers and all of those things

203

which are completely taken for granted because we're supposed to be a certain way

204

or we're supposed to dress a certain way or we're supposed to act a certain way.

205

And I am in such a privileged place in society because I was raised by parents who made me a thinking woman.

206

I have friends and family which give me the ability to always have an opinion.

207

I have worked with filmmakers which have faith in me as an actor.

208

But there are kids all over the world who are denied basic education, basic food, basic sanitation.

209

And all of that is, they are being told that they are second class to their brothers

210

or to the boys in villages or small towns that I've visited.

211

And I've done some amazing work with UNICEF over the years.

212

I've been their Goodwill Ambassador in India for about 10 years

213

and now as their global ambassador for about a year and a half, two years.

214

And the kind of work and the kind of kids I've seen around the world that I've worked with, with the tenacity and the resilience that they have and how badly they just want to go to school.

215

I mean, we take it so for granted how badly one meal changes their lives.

216

And sitting here in our privileged lifestyles, you know, I really think it's on society to remember that, you know, there's parts of society we've forgotten.

217

and we don't want to address because it's just hard to watch.

218

No, don't show me that video because I don't want to see it.

219

It makes me cry, but that's happening.

220

And it's on us sitting in our comfortable homes and our comfortable chairs to say, I'm going to watch what's hard and i'm actually going to do something about it

221

and working with unicef gave me the opportunity to take this privilege

222

that i have and go into these cities and have people follow me

223

and talk about my experiences

224

so the world actually sees it through my eyes through the privileged eyes

225

that i have is there a girl whether in india or through the rest of the world where you've traveled,

226

where you've noticed a particular impact that you've had through your own work?

227

Yes.

228

Well, through my own work or, yes, I was in Zimbabwe recently.

229

And I didn't know people watched my films there.

230

I didn't know, like, I would be known.

231

And I was in this small village in Harare, outside of Harare when we went.

232

And there was this one girl who wrote this poem and a song for me.

233

She wanted to be a musician and she was raped at the age of four

234

and then the age of eight and then at the age of 12.

235

And now she was just 15.

236

And she wanted to be a musician.

237

And she said, I love pop culture and I love movies.

238

And I just want to be like you

239

because you stand in high heels and you talk really everything that I want to say.

240

And people actually listen to you.

241

I want to be in a place where I can wear high heels and people will listen to me.

242

And it was just, it just, it was, what did I do to,

243

to hear a girl sitting in Harare say that her biggest ambition was to be able to have people hear her voice.

244

And she wrote me this beautiful song.

245

And I'm just citing this because this was the most recent example I can remember.

246

But I mean, the little, the things that we do, you don't, it's like the butterfly effect.

247

It changes someone's life so far away

248

that we don't even know it like with the Priyanka Chopra Foundation for Health and Education as well, which again was my mother's idea.

249

God, that girl has great ideas.

250

I need to come up with some of them myself, I think.

251

But it was again her idea.

252

So my cook in my house, and this was like 3 or 2004 or something, she had kids.

253

And one day I came back home from shoot early in the day, and I remember that she was sitting in my library.

254

my cook's daughter must have been about 10 or something reading a book

255

and I was like why aren't you in school it's time for school right now

256

and she was like oh I don't go to school anymore

257

so I said why she was like I don't know mama said I can't go to school anymore

258

so I don't know that bothered me I must have been 23

259

or something and I went

260

and asked her I was like why isn't your daughter in

261

school she was like I can't afford to send all my kids to school she's gonna get married anyway

262

and the son's gonna earn the money for the family so what's the point of her education

263

I don't know why it just

264

and this is at home in my home it affected me

265

so much and I remember I went to my mom

266

and I was like I want to send her to school this has to happen how can she be done

267

and she's reading a book in my library she doesn't even know her life has changed

268

and that's when we decided to start this foundation and we educate about it's it's it's self-funded it's extremely small.

269

We educate about 80 something girls across the country by myself.

270

I want to at some point make it bigger

271

and include a lot of people because a lot of people speak to me about wanting to work with kids.

272

But these are kids I know.

273

These are kids who've written to me and like a lot of my team.

274

And I get their report cards and their letters of, you know, I got these grades in school and it just makes me feel a really great part of being, you know, in their lives.

275

And you're still making all those movies and the TV show and everything else.

276

And educating scores of kids as well.

277

Yeah.

278

Because we can all do that many things.

279

We can.

280

Yes, you're right.

281

We are going to have to end it there.

282

Priyanka, I want to thank you for taking the time, for sharing your thoughts, for your principle,

283

your talent, your determination and your drive, I think most of all.

284

So thanks partly to Dr. Madhu Chopra, but I think especially to Priyanka Chopra.

285

286

Please join me in thanking Priyanka.

287

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
