In the entertainment industry, to evaluate whether an actor's performance is good or not, you have to look at whether he can cry!
"Crying", a simple human emotion, will be presented in different ways in different scenes and different personas.
Whether it is wailing or bursting into tears, whether it is bursting into tears or sobbing, every expression must make the audience feel the truth, feel the pain, and even cry with them, in order for the performance to be successful!
However, some young actors do not know how to cry but act hard, which not only makes people unable to feel the grief of the characters, but even makes them feel embarrassed as if they are digging their toes into the ground.
For example, the guy below played "Ye Hua" in an acting variety show. He hugged "Su Su" and "cryed" until his face was hideous and his facial features were flying, but he didn't squeeze out a drop of tears. It was so embarrassing that it made people's scalp numb.
So, how to perform the crying scene?
No, in "City Within a City", a popular show jointly broadcast by CCTV and iQiyi, three actors started a crying scene competition and set a correct example for everyone!
Among them, some can be called textbooks, while others can be called gods by pretending to cry, which made many young actors "blush" after watching it!
Wang Jinsong's "Fake Crying"
Opening "City Within a City", as soon as I saw Wang Jinsong, the editor knew that this drama was solid!
There is only one crying scene for him so far, and many people may not have noticed it!
It was a tragic drama in which Wu Xianlong, the character he played in the play, suddenly fainted and was hospitalized due to the company's financial chain being broken and being pressed hard by Xie Zhiyuan.
Zhao Hui came to visit. Wu Xianlong took Zhao Hui's hand and said feebly and in a weak voice: "Don't worry, if it doesn't work, just close your eyes and leave!"
had a sad and sad expression, with red eye circles, and occasionally coughed twice. He really looked like a dying man who would go see Marx immediately.
When he talked about the depth of love, even he believed it, and even squeezed out a few tears from the corners of his eyes.
But after this painful scene was played and Zhao Hui left, Wu Xianlong was still immersed in the "fake crying" that he performed for Zhao Hui and couldn't get out. After that, he took out a tissue to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
After hearing his son say that Zhao Hui still confiscated his money, he suddenly sat up and spoke to his son in a loud voice.
Go ahead, you are worthy of being a national first-class actor.
This uncle's "fake crying" performance was really lifelike and to the top. Not only did Zhao Hui, who values love and justice, believe it, he probably even believed it himself!
I have to say that Wang Jinsong's crying scene was smooth and extremely delicate, and he could be considered to have grasped the essence of "fake crying".
also explained Wu Xianlong's duplicity and hypocrisy in a vivid and penetrating way.
Chen Jin’s “Crying”
After talking about Wang Jinsong, let’s talk about Chen Jin! Her performance belongs to the silent weeping mode that is better than the sound.
The teacher Ouyang played by Chen Jin in the play is Dai Xing's wife, and she has two crying scenes.
In the first scene, I saw Dai Xing’s body and learned that my husband who had been with him for many years suddenly passed away.
At that moment, she was stunned for a moment, then turned pale and fainted, and the feeling of collapse and fragmentation rushed out of the screen. After
woke up and accepted the fact that her husband had passed away, her tears began to fall involuntarily, with a bit of choking and a bit of restraint.
This kind of crying scene that progresses step by step and endures grief is particularly touching. It is both suitable for the identity and makes people feel sad.
In the second act, Zhao Hui failed to take over and was frustrated in his career. Ouyang was worried that he would follow in the footsteps of Dai Xing.
In this crying scene, Ouyang's expression was indifferent and his eyes were red. While speaking the lines, he looked at the photo of her husband's body. It was obviously a warning to Zhao Hui, but in fact, it was the pain and sadness that Dai Xing was a bad guy and that he would not be able to survive in the future.
Before she knew it, her face was already filled with tears, which made people sympathize.
does not have too many expressions or exaggerated howls. Chen Jin only relies on these subtle emotional changes to make people truly feel the character's grief and helplessness after losing his lover, as well as the restraint and sobriety of being a role model for others.
This is true acting, and he is worthy of being recognized as an experienced actor!
Yu Hewei's "Grief"
As a successful person in a high position in the financial circle, Zhao Hui, played by Yu Hewei, is emotionally stable most of the time and must maintain his principled, calm and capable elite temperament.
After all, for a senior bank president in his forties or fifties, it would not fit his personality and temperament if he cried loudly or howled like a ghost.
Therefore, two of Yu Hewei's crying scenes are relatively subtle, and one is exaggerated. There are three scenes in total.
The first thing is that when he saw his daughter Ruirui's eye disease worsening and was about to lose her sight, she said to him very sensibly: "When my world turns dark, I will jump down from the building to find my mother" so as not to harm him.
How should a father feel when he hears such words from his beloved daughter?
saw that his eyes were red, and he immediately panicked to stop his daughter's thoughts, saying "What nonsense are you talking about, don't scare daddy", which made people feel the helplessness and sadness in his heart at this moment.
The second incident was a street quarrel with Xie Zhiyuan.
For his own benefit, Xie Zhiyuan indirectly killed his master Dai Xing, and now he wants to drag Zhao Hui into trouble and let him join forces with him to capture more "golden mountains".
Zhao Hui was so angry that Xie Zhiyuan was so despicable, selfish and greedy that his face turned red and his neck thickened.
He pointed at Xie Zhiyuan's nose and cursed. As he spoke, he felt sad, his eyes were red, and his voice even choked with sobs.
He is not worthy of his teacher, and he is also disappointed in his brothers. People can't help but feel emotional, disappointed, resentful, and heartbroken with him.
The third part is the drunken crying scene.
Zhao Hui, under the dual pressure of being trapped and lonely in raising money for his sick daughter, and frustrated in the workplace due to failure in his job, was filled with melancholy and resorted to drinking to drown his sorrows.
After getting drunk, he mistakenly thought Zhou Lin was Li Ying, took her hand and said: "Our daughter is sick" and "Our house can't be saved."
's pinched mouth corners, aggrieved eyes, and tears all over his face, mixed with guilt and helplessness, all poured out, making the audience cry directly into their hearts.
It turns out that the fragility and collapse of middle-aged men can also make people feel so distressed, so moved, and so empathetic.
These three crying scenes let people see Yu Hewei's precise emotional expression in different scenes, which is really shocking!
In short, these three actors in "City Within a City" performed the crying scene in a natural, silky, sincere and moving way, making us outside the scene follow them deeply into the scene, and we were tortured to the point where our heart, liver, spleen and lungs ached.
This is a classic "crying scene" scene in the domestic entertainment textbook.
If I had to rank the crying scenes of these three actors, the editor thinks Chen Jin is the best, Wang Jinsong ranks second, and Yu Hewei ranks third. Do you think this arrangement is reasonable?
