"Actors please take their place" has been aired for two episodes. During the period, Sha Yi, Zhao Wei, Chen Kaige, Guo Jingming, Li Shaohong and other guests have already conducted the hot search several times.
But accompanied by high-traffic and highly topical program content, there is also a conspiracy theory that is popular: the script theory.
Especially after the two episodes of the show, Ming Dao, Bao Wenjing, Jin Jing and other outstanding actors were eliminated, the script theory in the barrage became more lively.
seems to have been arranged in advance by the program group, and it is the same effect for eyeballing and creating topics.
But to be honest, all pervasive conspiracy theories are generally prejudiced, short-sighted and narrow.
It can become a weapon for the innocent to attack the innocent, and it can also become a shackle for bystanders. It is better to be cautious.
Not to mention whether big directors like Chen Kaige and Li Shaohong are willing to cooperate with this kind of petty conspiracy. Even if they do, what they say and the comments given will not be fake.
So, instead of questioning the authenticity of the show, it's better to settle down and talk about "Actors Please Take Your Place" so that we, as laymen, have learned what the inside story is from the director. In a word,
solves one of the biggest misunderstandings: good acting skills are not all criteria for a director to choose a role.
This is probably the one thing we know the deepest since the broadcast of "Actors, please seat". Once the audience thought that acting is everything.
As an actor, you must act well; as a director, you must choose the best acting.
But "The Actors Please Take Place" tells us that this is not the case.
For example, in the controversial Ming Dao and Chen Ruoxuan group in the first issue, Chen Kaige eliminated Ming Dao, who was veteran in acting skills, and chose the slightly immature Chen Ruoxuan.
and Weiwei and Xu Yang in the second issue. The performance of the two is not outstanding, but Chen Kaige, who has always been demanding, reversed and wrote Weiwei in the robbing session. A series of confusing operations of
made the audience call them incomprehensible, but when you think about it carefully, there are actually traces to follow. The answer to
has already been said in the first issue of the show: Movies are the art of directors.
film is the art of the director, and the actor just helps the director complete the work.
Whether a movie is good or not depends on the director to the greatest extent, so which actor the director chooses has a lot to do with his/her personal aesthetics. The aesthetic of
includes his preferences, requirements, the gap between the actor and the role, the gap between the role and the director’s personal understanding, and so on.
Here we first divide the contestants in "The Actors in Place" into four categories:
Category 1: Old-school actors with good acting skills and rich acting experience, such as Li Bin.
Li Bin’s acting skills are unquestionable. At the age of 17, he won the Berlin Film Festival's Best Newcomer Award with "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle". In 2005, he was nominated for the Cannes International Film Festival with the film "Green Red". Actor.
later also starred in the TV series "Magic Phone", which is popular on the streets and alleys. It is a typical foundation, high starting point, and rich experience. The "Dear" performed by Li Bin and Jin Jing in the second issue of
can be said to be one of the best of the two programs, which can take the audience into the play in a second.
After the performance of "Dear", Li Bin received zero negative reviews from the four directors, and Chen Kaige also analyzed Li Bin’s goodness from the details, such as the handling of turning around after hanging up, and sitting down to take a look at Jin. Jing's details.
borrowed a sentence from Chen Kaige's comment on Gillian, that he is in the rank of Li Bin, and there is no need to participate in this kind of show.
Not only does he act well and naturally, he is also able to bring opponent actors into the show. The sense of lens, detail processing, and rhythm control are all quite sophisticated.
Category 2: Old-school actors with rich experience and good acting skills, but still have room for improvement, such as Ming Dao.
Mingdao has been acting for 15 years, and he is a typical veteran school. The phenomenon-level "Prince Turns into a Frog" made him popular to the point where no one knew it, and he became the originator of the overlord.
Generally, such an actor who has had a masterpiece, his acting skills are not bad. With years of smashing and rolling, Ming Dao is also very sophisticated when he starts acting.
For example, in the first issue of "Breaking the IceIn this section of "Action", the state of Ming Dao and Chen Ruoxuan are very different, one is more confident and the other is harder.
has many years of acting experience so that Ming Dao can grasp the rhythm of the play well, and his expression management is also in place, but Li Shaohong immediately pointed out a flaw: the gun posture is wrong.
sounds tricky, but it's deadly.
Because "Operation Ice Breaking" is a serious anti-drug and criminal investigation drama, whether the gun is professional or not is related to the quality of the drama.
And Mingdao's posture with the gun is wrong, no matter how lifelike he is and no matter how good his lines are, his momentum will be half short, and the traces of the performance will appear.
This is the embarrassment of actors like Ming Dao. They are very old, but there are very few high-quality plays, which leads them to honed a good acting skills, but ignore a few small details.
Category 3: Talented actors with good acting skills but inexperience, such as Weiwei.
Weiwei is a newcomer actor who has just graduated. She plays the role of Xiao Su Mingyu in her masterpiece "All Very Good".
Whether it's Xiao Su Mingyu in "Everything is Good" or Zheng Wei in "Actors Please Get In", Weiwei is actually very good, but almost meaningful.
For example, in the show, she and Xu Yang acted in "To Youth", asking why the other party had to leave her behind when going abroad:
is the highlight of the movie, and the mood is very strong. In the words of Director Chen Kaige, it is a love The almost neurotic woman fell in love with a man with no backbone and is now abandoned.
Weiwei in this situation is indeed very hysterical, but Weiwei's interpretation is not strong enough in physical presentation, and she seems to be overstretched in her lines. The same problem applies in
"Everything is Good". Xiao Su Mingyu performed well and had a three-dimensional character interpretation, but at the moment of reciting certain lines, he used too much force.
But the good part is that Weiwei's overall feeling is very relaxed.
She seems to be born with the play instead of performing it hard. The whole process is very relaxed. Although the rehearsal state is not good, but in the case of not having enough time to break in, Weiwei managed to lead her opponent in the act.
Compared with the man's tension and tension, Weiwei seems more natural.
This is an important criterion for judging whether a new actor is talented. After all, acting skills can be tempered, but the relaxation in front of the camera is difficult to find and cultivate.
Category 4: Immature actors who lack acting skills and experience, such as Dong Li.
Needless to say, the first episode of "A River of Sadness" has been rendered very three-dimensional, and the four directors also think that Dong Li is almost talented.
In the whole acting state, Dong Li’s body and eyes are stiff:
failed to express the character’s emotional logic, the heroine is a childhood sweetheart with him, but the way he speaks to the heroine is completely different Hair small.
Dong Li's deduction is more rigid and immature, as if simply completing fixed tasks such as reading lines and moving positions.
is more intuitive to summarize like this. Generally speaking, directors like to choose the most suitable actors among the first three types of actors, rather than just the first category that seems the most powerful.
For example, Li Bin and Jin Jing both received great praise from Chen Kaige, but during the robbing stage, no one robbed Li Bin. Instead, Zhao Wei, who said Jin Jing was bad at the beginning, wrote Jin Jing’s name. The reason for
is very simple. Zhao Wei thinks that Jin Jing is suitable for comedy. Although Jin Jing’s "Dear" is not satisfactory to her, it shows Jin Jing’s energy. Putting her back to the position of comedy must be possible. Shine.
Throughout Zhao Wei's acting career, she has indeed been closely associated with comedies, such as Little Swallow, "Hong Kong 囧", the upcoming "Two Tigers" and so on.
If there are comedies in Zhao Wei's next director plan, then Jin Jing is indeed a leader on this stage.
For another example, through the performance of Li Bin, Ming Dao, and Niu Junfeng, we can also find that Chen Kaige's selection preference is more plastic.
Obviously, unless the style is consistent with his expectations, Chen Kaige does not prefer actors with sophisticated acting skills.
Because they are already very proficient in acting, many small habits have been hard to correct after years of accumulation. z1People who are older in z
play have a strong style, and a director like Chen Kaige, who is known as "the most capable director of actors in China," in some works, he must love to choose what he can create instead of already Well shaped.
is like Zhang Yimou's election of Zhou Dongyu, in fact, there are many pure and pure stars, and there is no shortage of such young actors in the entertainment circle, but why does Lao Mouzi have to choose newcomers he has never seen before?
is because there is no one he likes in the existing pure school.
He wants to shape the Jingqiu that appeared in his mind when he was reading.
This returns to the point we said at the beginning: film is the art of directors.
Those idol groups that have become popular, whether they are acting or acting, are like a sculpture that has already been labeled. It is already very clear what image director and audience he is.
In a movie, in addition to mature sculptures that have been labeled, there must be unformed mud. The final shape of
mud depends on the distance between the actor and the character and the director's self-understanding of the character.
is just like what Zhao Wei and Li Shaohong have mentioned in the film many times, they all hope that after the "Actors Please Get In", they can help them find the actors for the next play. The meaning of
is obvious. They are not here to choose the best, but to choose the good ones, and then choose the ones they like among the good ones.
So stop saying that you don’t understand the director’s choice. Instead of questioning, it is better to observe the differences in temperament and aesthetic preferences of several directors.
Knowing the director is also a process that helps us understand the film.
