The horse-catching show is back, and the instructors have their own division of labor
Do you still remember Di Mi Mengza Zhao Yingzi, Shen Yue who cried so much, and Hui Yinghong who left the show angrily?
After a year-long hiatus, this program called "Infinite Transcendence Class" has made a "comeback" again! The first episode of the second season of
has just been aired. Here are my thoughts after watching it: The show continues the style of last year. Looking around, there are a lot of actors and actresses, and they are still catching horses. If you like this, you can watch it with confidence. The difference between
and
is that this year’s competition focuses more on mentors rather than students.
After all, the actors who come to participate in the show are all actors below the shoulders who are not popular but whose acting skills have not been recognized by the market (some of them cannot even be called actors). The reputation of the show is not rich and cannot bear the torment of making a fool of itself in public. !
In contrast, the tutors have much less burden on their whole work. Anyway, "sitting and talking does not hurt your back". They are all old people, laughing and cursing, picking up things at their fingertips, just for fun!
program instructors are still mainly TVB seniors. Those who appeared in the first phase are - Eric Tsang , Er Dongsheng , Wu Zhenyu , Hao Lei , Ning Ning , Ye Tong, Zhao Yazhi, Liang Jiahui. There is also Han Xue, whose role is more like a host or director of the teaching department, responsible for cueing the process and smoothing things over.
So what kind of personas do the other instructors play?
Ye Tong and Zhao Yazhi - as we all know, the two are the actors of Xu Xian and White Snake respectively. Wherever the classic CP goes, they are like "childhood memories" in capital letters. Moreover, although the two aunts are old, they are well-maintained, intellectually dignified, and have a refined temperament. How can they not be regarded as the vase in the tutor's seat?
Tony Leung Ka-fai—actor, actor, and showman, increases the authority of the program and the mentorship.
Er Dongsheng - Although he is also a ruthless character who once scolded Guo Xiaosi to tears, this time he is more like a master or behind-the-scenes operator who is not angry or assertive. He is mainly a person who waits to see what happens and does not speak easily. You guys As for you, I am responsible for "adding fuel to the flames" at the appropriate time.
Wu Zhenyu and Ning Jing—a poisonous tongue and a compliment, the atmosphere group's "two swords combined" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
It goes without saying that Wu Zhenyu has a vicious tongue. He can always pour a drop of cold water at the right time with his honest speech, making all sensationalism and off-topic remarks instantly feel ashamed. For example, when other instructors were arguing over the story of Zhu Zixiao selling chicken feet, he said: "Isn't it a test of performance? Why do you have to encourage for so long? Encouragement is enough, right?"
is sober but not mean, upright but not reckless. He is exactly the mouth substitute that the audience needs: "Yes, enough encouragement. Actor "Bah!"
What's even more surprising is Jing Jing. Despite her cool makeup and imposing manner, this time she looks like a kind aunt who eats melon seeds and watches the fun but is not mean. She has opinions but doesn't mean them. Persistence, having ideas but not claiming to be an expert, more like echoing others and saying a few words.
Eric Tsang: For an artist, live streaming is very difficult!
Eric Tsang: For more than ten hours at a time,
Ning Jing: Many actors can’t do it!
Um... To describe it in our hometown dialect, Sister Jing's words are "two sentences". Let's just say that the next step is to transform into cross talk?
Eric Tsang & Hao Lei - a rival duo, the main players in the mentorship seat. After all, only when there is conflict is there something to watch, and only when there is a quarrel can there be onlookers.
Although they argued about more than one student and one topic in the first issue, the points they argued about were basically the same, that is- ideal or life, art or market.
Hao Lei is responsible for "elegance", advocating to defend the professionalism of actors, and emphasizing that actors should be reverent, just like a super-principled professional teacher who cannot tolerate too much ambiguity and gags.
Zeng Zhiwei is responsible for "vulgarity" and strongly encourages students to make money, even if it compromises the purity of some art. It is understandable. He is very "Brother Chen" and a big boss.In addition to the blessing of the screen image, he himself represents not only a model actor, but also multiple roles such as director, producer, producer, producer, etc. Sitting there, he should provide a more comprehensive and close-to-the-ground experience. perspective.
vulgarity vs. elegance, who is better? Eric Tsang vs. Hao Lei, who is more popular?
Five years ago, I might have chosen the latter, but this time, I still feel that Mr. Zeng is arrogant, rude, and not easy to mess with. I should check it out above, but I actually nodded several times when he expressed his views. .
The reason why the boss is the boss
The first person to trigger relevant discussions was Zhu Zixiao, who "returned from live broadcasting and wanted to be an actor again." In the self-introduction session, he gave full play to his industry advantages and introduced Zhu Zixiao himself as a "goods" to be brought. His logic was smooth, his voice was emotional, and he was eloquent. He was worthy of being the top salesman on Douyin.
However, putting aside the emotional narration, we know that his situation and demands are very simple - live broadcasting is for life, and actors are the ones he loves. At this moment, as a top male in the live broadcasting industry, he hopes to still have An opportunity to devote yourself to your passion.
Then the tutor's table started arguing over "Which is more important, the moon or sixpence?"
Hao Lei: I don’t advocate that you can go wherever you have money. And if you want to return now, you have to weaken the existing impression of the anchor, which is not that easy.
Wu Zhenyu: I carry goods every day, so I don’t have time to observe life. I’m afraid I’ve already lost this basic skill.
Zeng Zhiwei stood firmly on the side of "Sixpence" and showed great admiration for Zhu Zixiao. He said that among so many students, he wanted to chat with Xiao Zhu the most. It can be seen that his attitude of risking everything in order to survive and support his family is a great advantage for him.
What impressed me deeply was what he said: What will happen to your body after eating chicken feet for more than ten hours?
This is not a question, but that he can imagine the hardship and sympathize with Zhu Zixiao's difficulty.
At the same time, this is actually a compliance test passed in advance.
is like Party B toasting customers with liquor. We all know that this thing is harmful to the body, and you may make a fool of yourself if you drink too much, but that is the purpose of this link - "You are not even willing to pay the price of embarrassment, how can I see your sincerity and determination?"
Eric Tsang I think the reason why I can chat with Zhu Zixiao is probably because of this. If this guy can be so cruel to me, wouldn't it be reassuring for me to work with him?
Please note, the point here is not the decadence of the wine table culture and old men, but rather, whether is making money or doing something else, if you want to achieve something, don’t think of it as “painless”, or in other words, don’t think of it as “painless”. ” is the first principle.
Although the trend of public opinion recently is "love yourself", loving yourself does not mean being hypocritical. Of course, I don’t pursue hardship, but when you live in this world, you cannot escape unscathed. Fighting in the arena, leaving some "medals" is really inevitable. If you have to hunt and prey, isn't it normal to have scratches and broken skin?
has a saying: In most professions, in the end, all you need to do is physical strength. In my opinion, physical strength here mainly refers to the ability to digest the side effects of labor, rather than the ability to maintain health. The battle is about who is more resistant to beatings, not who knows how to be lazy.
After all, "painless success" is a luxury, and repairing after being injured is the normal state of life. People who have fought together in the jungle can feel sympathy for each other because of the wounds on each other's bodies.
The second contestant who triggered the "controversy between vulgarity and elegance" is Jin Chao, a short drama actor who once turned around and left the stage at the most glorious time, just to polish his acting skills and consolidate his basic skills. Now he has returned to the film and television industry, hoping to make more films. dramas and movies.
Hao Lei said: It’s good for children to have requirements for themselves. The bad environment really misleads children. Even a piece of gold can be turned into scrap copper and scrap iron.
As for Eric Tsang, not only did he disagree, but he also objected very excitedly.He has two main reasons:
. Opportunities wait for no one, and the market waits for no one. It has been cold for five years. Who are you? Do you think the "unsympathetic" audience will still remember you?
. The traditional track is full of people. The new track is an opportunity for young people. You have already made achievements in the field of short dramas. You should step on this mountain to create glory again and surpass us filmmakers. Do you understand, boy smash it?
That tone, that expression, it was as if he was the one who lost the opportunity, not Jin Chao. It can be seen that this little brother's approach is completely inconsistent with Wei Zai's cognitive system.
The core difference between the two of them is: one has been hungry or has not been hungry. People who have been hungry will not easily let themselves return to a state of having nothing again; the other is the difference between high and low sense of deservingness.
Jin Chao felt a little lack of confidence when he first came out. When he spoke on the spot, he kept talking about his shortcomings. It seemed that making achievements in short dramas was not a great honor for him, so Sister Ning Jing couldn't help but say I asked a concerned question: "What did they do to you to make you feel so inadequate?"
Let me answer for Jinchao: Firstly, because of personality, sincerity + perfectionism; secondly, maybe the basic skills are not solid enough and the creative environment is relatively bad. Thirdly, there is a chain of contempt in the mainstream perception. Long-form dramas belong to the Yangchun Baixue, while short-form dramas belong to the lower-class people. It is still unknown whether short-form dramas will be able to make it into the public eye in the future.
The young Jin Chao may not be able to break through the constraints of mainstream values, go against the flow, and find a new path, but can only allow himself to cater to the mainstream.
But for Eric Tsang, that is not a problem at all. is more focused on reality than the rules and regulations in his own and other people's heads; he values positive factors more than negative risks.
So the first thing he saw was not "you are not worthy", but "you have stood at the top". What a great advantage this is. How many people behind you want to climb up but can't climb up, but you actually turn around and leave? Spreading all over the place? !
Then, he saw the potential of the industry. Wong Kar-wai went to make TV series, Stephen Chow went to make short plays, and I was one of the first batch of people to make Internet movies. The so-called mainstream people have all deviated from their original profession. Come on, how can one be higher or lower?
looks at the problem from a different perspective, which leads them to make completely different choices, one charges, one retreats, one has unlimited confidence, and the other lacks confidence.
In reality, excellent people often exist, but Eric Tsang is a rare item with more characteristics of a successful person.
People who are not well-off and have a tendency of learned helplessness are advised to learn more from Teacher Zeng. Don’t rush out, don’t exaggerate the negatives, don’t waste your advantages, and don’t easily succumb to universal values. Only by shamelessly going to the table and carrying it to death can we maximize our existing advantages. Only by clinging to this hard-won hilltop can we expand our territory and own more hills.
As for polishing your acting skills, I guess Teacher Zeng thinks this way: On the one hand, practice can bring out true knowledge; on the other hand, when you are successful enough, you have the right to speak. Whether your acting skills are good or not is inherently subjective. , who else can do anything to you?
doesn’t want to say whether it’s right or not. Let’s not copy the specific views, but the way of thinking: one side is opportunities and power, and the other side is one’s own shortcomings. Focusing on the former can make people live like a warrior, and getting stuck in the quagmire of perfectionism will only Compromise your mobility.
Summary
increasingly feels that liking or hating a person is a very secondary thing.
Like Eric Tsang, due to various reasons, many people don’t like him, especially lesbians. Not many people regard him as the lover of their dreams, but it is undeniable that from the "life-threatening" dragon and tiger martial artist to the "dead-footed", As for the eldest brother in the Hong Kong film industry, he is a winner who has fought hard in the social jungle. From the dimensions of survival, struggle and entrepreneurship, he undoubtedly shines. If we remove our prejudices, we can gain some light.
also thought about Jia Ling recently. All kinds of malicious speculations and criticisms will not hurt her in the slightest, they will only help to increase the popularity. Acknowledging her excellence will not benefit anyone, but can only benefit herself.
Even Anna Yao's performance in "Hunting Ice" didn't seem so unsightly, right?
was criticized not only for her poor acting skills, but also because of her identity as the second princess of Huawei. But the "hidden rules" she represents have existed since ancient times. She is not the first beneficiary, nor will she be the last. The unfairness of this world will still persist. Criticizing her, ridiculing her, and vilifying her cannot subvert anything, but only use her as a tool to vent emotions.
Put it this way, I feel like the second princess is not that annoying anymore. She had so many paths to choose from, but she chose to be a celebrity and provide emotional value to netizens across the country. This girl is also quite brave!
suddenly remembered a classic line from Eric Tsang: A dwarf has many tricks. It’s up to you to decide whether you see a dwarf or a schemer.
