To act as well as Haiqing, there is actually a "shortcut"

movie 1956℃


Haiqing went to the countryside to experience life before performing " Into the Dust ".

looks like "experiencing life" is the right path for an actor to succeed.

In the past, an actor had to go deep into the character's living environment for a long time, until from the outside to the inside, the whole thing was the character's temperament.

Regarding this issue, many years ago, I once posted a related article, and I am reposting it:


Old Movie: Incredible Acting (Revised Version)

Text / Big Regret Yizhi Bing

Zhang Ruifang is the so-called "before liberation" The female star of "Ten Li Yangchang", but she played the female militia captain in the red classic "Southern and Northern War", which makes people not doubt that she is the "people of the old base area", mud legs , and the atmosphere of earth bastard, come out of the bone.

is even more incredible. It is the female militiaman named "Erman" under Zhang Ruifang in the same movie. She is so simple and rustic, you would never think that the actor who played "Erman" was actually the one from "Before Liberation". In the petty bourgeoisie classic "Spring in a Small Town", Zhang Hongmei who played the eldest lady, you would think that it was an excellent extra you found locally.

The famous Shangguan Yunzhu is the best actor of Miss City's wife - from the perspective of appearance and temperament and her acting skills - but when you see her in " South Island" You will wonder if she played the head nurse who insisted on the anti-Japanese struggle in Fengyun (see the attached photo). As for the working people she played in "Early Spring in February" and "Withered Trees in Spring" later, she was simply vivid, with a face full of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Another staggering example is Taiwanese artist Shu Qi . She grew up in Taiwan, and she never dreamed of " going up to the mountains and going down to the countryside " in the Mainland - even the children of educated youth could not imagine the life of their parents - when I, an educated youth, heard that Shu Qi was going to play " Beauty Grass" When I was an educated youth in , I thought the director was dizzy, how could she act! But after the film came out, I was stunned: this Shu Qi is really like those hard-working, pungent and affectionate acquaintances we used to have.

It seems that Shu Qi has worked hard to understand the life of the educated youth. You can see from her braids, her closeness to the hoe and the indifferent expression of the educated youth.

has an equally amazing example, Zhang Guorong played the Communist Party member in "Red Lover"!

Hong Kong star as a Communist Party member, impossible.

, however, was very successful.

According to reports, "There is a scene in "Red Lovers" that was filmed in a very cold winter. Leslie Cheung was standing in the cold wind wearing a thin shirt with shackles on his feet. A staff member suggested Leslie Cheung wear a pair of weights. Lighter shackles, but Leslie Cheung, who pursues the realism of the picture, is unwilling to wear heavy shackles all the time.

"There is a scene in "Red Lover" that no longer needs to take close-ups of footsteps, but Leslie Cheung still insists not to take off the shackles until In the end, the skin of the ankle was rubbed by the chain and was 'blurred'" (360 Encyclopedia)

Zhou Runfa shot a scene of jumping into a cesspool. The director told him to jump into a fake cesspool, but he insisted on jumping into a real cesspool.

Leslie Cheung and Chow Yun-Fat both for two words: It's true.

I have seen a movie starring Chow Yun-fat. He plays the king of the small South Oceanic country in the film, the breath of the South Oceanic sea breeze, the temperament of the king of the small country, seems to envelope Fat brother The soul of A Lang and Xiao Ma is still there! I have seen the TV series "Iron Horse in Search of Bridge", there is a gracious housewife of a big family, how can you believe your eyes - that is vulgar Unbearable charter wife Yuanqiu?

(you thought Yuanqiu would only play charter wife?)

looked back and said that China is bigland.

Feng Zhe , who was killed during the Cultural Revolution, played the unsophisticated PLA battalion commander Gao in the "South and Northern War" mentioned above, which left a very deep impression on the audience, making the audience think that he came from an old revolutionary area and experienced a hail of bullets. In the "anti-special feature film" " Yangcheng Dark Whistle ", he played the role of a public security scout, suave, smart and capable, dealing with "female spy" and coping with ease, transformed from a peasant to a handsome boy in Guangzhou, as if he had even changed his blood!

Actually, Feng Zhe grew up in an intellectual family with a blend of Chinese and Western cultures, and his father graduated from Harvard University. Feng Zhe received Western education from a small school. In order to play a good worker, peasant and soldier, he experienced life seriously for a long time, so that he contracted schistosomiasis in the countryside and cut his spleen and pancreas.

At the end of

"The Battle of the South and the North", the senior commander of the People's Liberation Army who shouted in a crowd of thousands and made a generous speech, attracted the cheers of the army and the people all over the mountains and fields, you can believe it Is that played by Wang Baochang Chen Ge in the dialect comedy " catch the strong man "?

Chen Ge was born in the countryside of Sichuan, and later came to Yan'an. He has personal experience of both kinds of life.

The result of "completely smashing the old world" in the entertainment industry is the lack of talent. Now those high-profile people, I really can't compliment!

I heard that some mainland actors boast that they are adhering to the "theoretical system" of a major director - actors should not regard themselves as characters, but should be monitors, monitoring the characters' minds from the sidelines. I think that it is profound and profound, and mysterious is mysterious, and I can't say it wrong, but if we copy the actors who eat the dates wholeheartedly, they will become nothing like acting! Jinlian, the philosopher-like Wu Dalang ... Of course, this is also because of the confusion and dislocation of social roles caused by the Cultural Revolution, and the mental outlook is forced to be the same. From book to book, from movie to movie - I think Stephen Chow bystanders, in "The King of Comedy" and other nonsensical films, has made a poignant satire of this dogmatic childish performance. The direct reason why

's performance is unreal is that he does not perform.

Typical of an actor and an actress that I hate so much. No matter what role a man plays, he always pretends to be a man with a sullen face, and a woman will always look fake and innocent. This kind of actor who is strong in the outside and doing in the middle is actually touted as a "power group". As soon as I hear the words "strength school", "acting school" and "idol school", my throat itch! Mr. Ruan Zhi's rap and songs are entertainment and leisure. Similarly, why are you so pseudo-academic when you act in a movie? Which one is good enough for academics? Mainland films, due to the devastating damage, are still inferior to the previous 17 years. Even those overseas award-winning films are still relatively jerky, and compared with the films of the "Shanghai Beach" era, they are still immature!

is on the contrary, the other is to perform desperately, for fear that people will not know that he has studied in the Department of Acting, wink his eyes, pinch his tone, exaggerate and contrive, and tell you that he is good at acting and can act in dramas! All this pretentiousness, they call themselves "squeeze," and that word makes my throat itch again.

"17 years" has produced so many high-quality movies, which is related to the emphasis on "experience life" of actors at that time, and "experience life" is also a very effective experience. In order to play Lu Xun, , Zhao Dan, and entered Lu Xun's life ahead of time before the filming was written. On any occasion, including taking a bus, he wore a Lu Xun-style gown and never took it off, which was astounding and funny. The great Shi Hui , in order to play the beggar in the classic "My Life", went directly to the streets of Beijing to exchange his clothes with the beggar. What he was looking for was the feeling of being covered with lice! By the way, Shi Huizhe, "Emperor of Drama" also. Back then, Shi Hui and Lan Ma were the real "palace level".

Now our high-profile "stars", from school to school, and from school to the studio, do what they do to show the ups and downs of life! There are hands and feet on the face, there is no heart, but also smug academic! In fact, the most important thing an actor should talk about is experience. Rodin said: "Art is emotion." Tolstoy said: "Literature and art do not rely on logic, but on passion." The film industry is really special! The generation of Shi Hui, Lan Ma, and Zhao Dan paid attention to "getting out of the stage" and "getting out of the bottom of life", but today's "academics" have a shallow and naive understanding of society, history, life, and performance. , their acting skills are so bad, just like the superb acting skills of those real actors as mentioned above, they are also "palace-level"!

What's even more incredible is that those high-profile "pies" and "stars" have no way to learn to perform, and learn "style" (their so-called "faner" - this word makes my throat itch for the third time) However, he is self-taught without a teacher, his native place is in the mainland, he speaks like Hong Kong, he nods his head repeatedly, Yili Ulu is "like this".

and those who really have experience and achievements, such as Zhao Wei, Wang Xuedi, Chen Daoming, etc., are relatively low-key or even low-key. Those with rich life experience, such as Wang Baoqiang , such as the extras of "Hidden in the Dust", because they have life, they perform without a teacher.

As the saying goes: "Bringing a mother-in-law has no good feet, and boasting about an imperial doctor has no good medicine."

Life is the only source of literature and art, and it is also a "shortcut" to a successful performance.
