In addition to Tencent’s "The Actor Please Get In" and Zhejiang Satellite TV’s "I’m the Actor’s Peak Showdown", which is currently on the air, Youku’s "Performing Technique" and iQiyi’s "Actor’s Character 2" will also be broadcast in the near future.

Nearly a hundred actors appeared on the stage to present a film and television performance in a limited time, and received comments and selection from the director, audience and judges. Under the brutal competition, the unknown wanted to prove their strength, and the well-known wanted to get out of the comfort zone. But whether it is an actor or a director, well-known or unknown, Sichuan can be found almost everywhere. Behind these entertainers are the strength and challenges of Sichuan Film and Television.

Strength: Get together in performing arts variety shows. The number of Sichuanese actors are high and the quality is high.
Last week, in the show "I Am the Actor's Peak Showdown", Li Yuchun, Guo Tao and Yang Di reproduced classic clips from the movie "The Unknown". In the film, Li Yuchun plays Ma Jiaqi, a disabled person with a high paraplegia. Although there is no body language, through the portrayal of voice, expression and lines, a character from despair to collapse to rekindling hope is vividly displayed. Director Lu Chuan commented: "Li Yuchun is a real actor." Zhang Jizhong gave a higher evaluation: "Li Yuchun has not failed in anything."
also received praise from Yang Di, who performed on the same stage as a student. His natural Sichuan dialect and simple, honest and slightly funny image are very close to the "curly hair" in the movie. As a comedian and show host, Yang Di did not make the audience feel that he was acting out when he played with the powerful actor Guo Tao.
The attentive audience suddenly discovered that the two "crossover" actors are all from Sichuan. Turning out the list of participants in the show, these two people are not the only ones who stepped onto this stage from Sichuan.
According to the program settings, the performance of the actors needs to be evaluated by the director, the BOSS group (composed of industry observers) and the audience. After a comprehensive selection, they will be eliminated and new replacement actors will be accepted. In the big director's seat, the famous director Tian Hanyu from Chengdu is on the list. Liu Yiwei, also a famous host from Chengdu and a member of the BOSS group, was also invited to participate. Although the national treasure-level actor Zhang Guoli was not born in Sichuan, he "spent his personality formation and his best time in Chengdu." It was at Eying Studio that he had his first dubbing work, which laid the foundation for the future of acting.
If the appearance of Sichuan faces in "I'm the Actor's Peak Showdown" is a kind of accident, then this feature is even more obvious in another show "Actors please take their place".
Among the 58 participating actors, 7 are from Sichuan, which is the region with the largest number. They are the assisting comedian Wang Xun, the second-time Yang Di and the well-known new-generation actress Zhang Xinyi, and the new-generation powerful actors Chen Yao, Duan Bowen, Kang Keren and Zhang Jiashuo.
According to the competition system, every two actors perform a performance together, usually only one person can advance. Under the cruel elimination mechanism, Chen Yao, Duan Bowen, Kang Keren and others have advanced, showing their strength.
In addition, among the four well-known directors, Guo Jingming from Zigong is also included. Although some of his works are quite controversial, Guo Jingming's box office myths created by the "Little Times" series and his professional comments on the show have also gained public recognition.

Challenge: Strengthen cultural relevance and use a series of good works to speak
In fact, in the 1970s and 1980s, the Sichuan film and television industry represented by Eying produced a large number of outstanding film and television actors such as Han Sanping and Zhang Guoli. It is still the mainstay of the Chinese film scene and even the show business. With the marketization of the film industry, a certain period of "fault" appeared in the film and television industry in Sichuan, and most of the outstanding talents from various places flowed to Beijing and Shanghai. Liu Tong, an associate professor at the School of Film, Television and Animation of Chengdu University, believes that the emergence of this new generation of actors has given people a "resurrection". Mao Weining, a famous director from Sichuan TV, believes that “Sichuan’s history, culture, and unique life temperament provide it with high-quality soil for literary and artistic creation and production of literary and artistic talents.” It is this kind of soil that keeps the talents endless.
But from the other side, behind the strength,There are also challenges.
The industry generally believes that the cold winter of film and television has prompted the emergence of performing arts and variety shows. Some capable actors could not find the film, and it was helpless to get on the stage.
Why is it difficult for Sichuan actors and directors to achieve resource docking? They are all from Sichuan, so why can't they be "close to the water"? The industry believes that this is mainly due to the lack of film and television leading companies in Sichuan and difficulty in integrating resources. However, after Sichuanese directors and actors have integrated into Beijing and Shanghai, where resources are highly concentrated and fast-moving, it is difficult to rely on the "same country" relationship to form a close relationship, and thus cannot form a resource docking and overall driving effect.
"Building an exchange platform to strengthen the regional and cultural connections between the film and television Sichuan Army and the local area are all effective ways." Liu Tong believes.
The 15th Sichuan TV Festival and the first "Golden Panda" International Communication Award, which ended not long ago, are examples. Olivier Chabodeau, the Frenchman and founder of the Explorer company, was attracted by the beautiful natural scenery of Sichuan and decided to cooperate with local teams and universities to shoot a documentary to explore the beauty and novelty of this land. Comedian and producer Gao Yalin loves Sichuan delicacies and often comes to the local filming scene. He is connecting with local film and television practitioners and is planning a script about Chengdu.
But whether the literary ecology of a place is good or not, and whether it is strong or not, it depends on how many good works produced there. Li Chengru, an "old drama bone" who also appeared in "Actors Please Take Place", thinks.
In recent years, apart from the main theme films such as "Eighteen Hole Village" and some commercial films that participated in the production, there are not too many outstanding local film and television works. Strictly speaking, the phenomenon-level animated film "Nezha" during the summer vacation this year cannot be regarded as a true "Made in Sichuan". The person in charge of the relevant department admitted frankly that this film has not been established in Sichuan.
Li Chengru said bluntly: "Sichuan has a rich cultural heritage. Themes such as the Sichuan Army and the Anti-Japanese War are suitable for screens. The locals must calm down and shoot a series of good films in a down-to-earth manner. This is the real hope of the literary circle. I see."
