"Prove the truth in words. - Tang Lei"
In this world.
No one can be recognized by everyone.
But on the other hand, no one needs everyone’s approval.
This is the opposite side of logic.
So in fact, we don’t need to pay too much attention to those noisy voices. It is enough to start from ourselves, to judge the world, to recognize, think and share.
This small article is still based on the issue of acting.
is still Aaron Kwok.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Hong Kong film industry.
Many people have outstanding styles, such as Chow Yun-fat's aura, Stephen Chow's clumsiness, Leslie Cheung's uninhibitedness, Tony Leung's restraint, Ng Chun-yu's stubbornness and Nick Cheung's fighting spirit. They have been mentioned again and again in past reviews of performances. and.
But many people make a stupid mistake when judging performances.
They have no standards.
What results will this bring?
In this case, everyone defines and describes an actor's performance purely based on preference, stance and feeling.
then, of course, fell into a dispute of positions and preferences.
is nothing more than what you say and what I say.
has no results in the end.
In 1989, Aaron Kwok starred in his first movie.
Two years later, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the silver fox in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Why was this performance nominated? The character
can be defined in five words: cold, arrogant, arrogant, righteous, and ruthless, and Aaron Kwok is outstanding in every aspect.
Looking back, at this time, Aaron Kwok had only made six movies after two years of debut. One of them was a "marquee" star-studded movie "The Banquet". In fact, he did not have enough industry experience.
has said before that Aaron Kwok is actually a talented actor, and many people were in an uproar.
But this is just a basic fact.
Let’s look down.
In 1992, he began to officially play the leading role.
has released eleven films in just two years. Unfortunately, due to the quality of the films themselves, only the 1993 film "The Barefoot Boys" can be listed separately.
's character Guan Fengyao is simple, clean and persistent, and his fate is lamentable.
is particularly outstanding in the one-shot tragic scene at the end of the film. Aaron Kwok's performance is full of spirituality and explosive power.
After all, what is performance?
The first thing is the actor's understanding of the character and the "depth" into the situation. Only on this basis can we truly "copy" a character and make the character come alive.
This is the basis of the show.
Only when there is no problem in understanding can we talk about details such as entering the play and "walking, sitting, and lying" that are rooted in the plot, story, and character setting.
This level is related to character temperament, body language, emotional expression, etc.
But the real key is the depth of the performance.
What is performance depth?
It can be understood as a certain resonance closely related to the theme of the movie and the fate of the characters, usually expressed as some kind of "strong emotion".
This of course depends on the movie and plot itself.
In other words, conventional commercial movies are actually not deep, and there is no additional theme for elaboration and sublimation. At the same time, the performances in such movies are generally simple and shallow. , such as Aaron Kwok's "The Laughing Hero Chu Liuxiang" and "Thunder Men", as well as the recent "Disconnected" and "Anti-Drug 3: At the End of the World" and so on.
Therefore, ordinary commercial movies usually do not have the necessity to explore acting skills.
So, do niche, realistic and literary-themed movies necessarily have depth in plot and performance?
is not necessarily the same.
It depends on the director's style and tendency and the actor's ability.
For example, some directors particularly like the "documentary" style of filming. They don't want actors to create stage art-like creations, but require actors to completely fit the real situation.
And what if the director hopes to sublimate the theme but the actors are not capable enough?
At this time, it is very likely that he will avoid close-ups of "face-shaking" and will instead use means such as back, side and empty shots to express certain emotions.
These things can all be perceived when watching movies.
As far as the entire Hong Kong film industry is concerned.
I personally think that there may be four male actors who have fully demonstrated the "depth" characteristics, namely Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung, Aaron Kwok and Nick Cheung.
For example, if we list one representative work each, it should be "Farewell My Concubine", "Infernal Affairs", "The Favorite" and "The Great Hunt".
had strong emotional fluctuations during this period.
Aaron Kwok's works and performances in this area are even more common.
In addition to "The Favorite", he can also list the aforementioned "Barefoot Boy", as well as "Sanchakou", "Floating City Tycoon" and the latest "Temporary Heist".
The so-called great joy and great sorrow have always been especially reflected in skill.
There are many dramatis personae, or well-known acting schools. When faced with such plot interpretations, their secrets are usually exposed, or "the words fail to convey the meaning". As for the examples, they have been discussed earlier and will not be repeated here. .
The reason is simple.
This is a deeper requirement beyond "role copying".
It is not available to those who are not talented.
And to this day, Aaron Kwok is still innovating.
When "The Temporary Robbery" was released, many people said that the performance could "make gods".
even has loyal fans who directly abandoned the characters in the earlier "Sanchakou", "Father and Son", "The Favorite", "Floating City Tycoon", "Chill", "The Taoist Descends the Mountain", "Traveling in Blood to Seek Plum Blossoms" and "Wushuang", and directly defined " "Mei Lan Tian" is Aaron Kwok's "strongest" performance form.
is like no other. His aura performance, sitting, lying, walking, and ability to control the field, transfer and detail, layer, and explode are all astonishing.
is particularly creative and even more stunning for no reason.
This is the focus of this article.
I don’t mean to criticize others, but looking at it, do you like those clichés that have been used for ten or even decades, or do you like Aaron Kwok, who has reached a state of perfection and still produces new and resonant performances from time to time?
This is already a spirit.
perform this thing.
has an indescribable charm.
This is true for both actors and movie fans.
Aaron Kwok often likes to say that he really lives through the characters in the movie, and he especially likes this wonderful experience.
Perhaps this is the true happiness of an actor.
And from this we can see that there is another truth. Only if you like
, it is a truly effective driver.
Do you think so?
