Stills from the movie Animal World
Stills from the TV series "The Age of Entrepreneurship"
Su Ke, many people will feel strange when they hear the name, but as a teacher in the Department of Chinese Opera Performance, Deng Chao and Wang Kai are his students. In that year, with the first place in the overall score of the class, he stayed in the school to teach, and in recent years, he returned to the film and television circle and starred in many popular dramas.
In the high-scoring web drama "The First Love of The Love of Chitose Adults" broadcast at the beginning of this year, Su Ke played the fox priest Aoki Lord; in the movie "Animal World" released in the summer program, he became the villain Zhang Jingkun, who successfully deceived Li Yifeng's trust by cunning; in the just-concluded hit drama "Entrepreneurial Age", Su Ke played Angelababy's boss Peng Xuewu, who interpreted the business tycoon's calm and calm appearance and the posture of mastering behind the scenes; and in the popular web drama "Will Night" And because he indirectly triggered a series of revenge plans by Ning Que (Chen Feiyu). Netizens have left messages, "Almost every expression and line pause is a play." ”
1 Because of his beautiful appearance, he acted in "Dream of the Red Chamber" at the age of 13
Su Ke was born into a musical family, his father was the former head of the Air Politics Song and Dance Troupe, and he was also a composer and conductor. "He wrote the military song of the Air Force, and as soon as tiananmen was inspected and the plane passed, he also wrote the song played by the military band." His mother was a bel canto singer in the Air Politics Song and Dance Troupe. Su Ke originally wanted to enter the conservatory, "I have been in music since elementary school, and I also went to the conservatory to learn audition practice and composition. ”
At the age of 13, director Xie Tieli was preparing the movie "Dream of the Red Chamber", in which Liu Xiaoqing played Wang Xifeng, there was a book boy Caiming's role around him, needing a teenage boy, Xie Tieli and Liu Xiaoqing both hoped to find a good-looking child, but the deputy director looked for a long time, they were not very satisfied, and finally decided to go to the dormitory of such an art group in the courtyard of the literary troupe to try their luck, Su Ke, who was playing in the courtyard, was photographed by the deputy director, and met Xie Tieli that night. The next day, she was taken to see Liu Xiaoqing again, "She was putting on makeup at the time, and as soon as she saw me, she said: Very good." ”
At that time, Su Ke, who was still an adult, carried a guitar on his back and took the train to the Shanghai set. The first time I made a movie, I didn't understand anything, but I wasn't afraid of anything, "The director told me to act as I would." I remember that when I was sick, director Xie Tieli also cooked me noodles and told me the story of a shot in the leg when he resisted Japan. To motivate me to be strong. And what really made Su Ke interested in acting was because he participated in the TV series "Anecdotes of Princess Zhuang" directed by Wang Fulin, and he played the young Kangxi, "That kind of like, even more than music." ”
2 Graduated from Chinese drama, the first overall score directly stayed in school
In that era, there was no agent for filming, and if a play cooperated, if others thought you were good, there would be the next play to find the door. Someone recommended Su Ke to go to art school, at first he felt that it was good to continue to perform such a series, but later more and more people persuaded him, and he moved his mind. "In high school, I went to the Eighth Middle School Film and Television High School, and there were many old professors from the Beijing Film Academy who gave us lessons, so at the beginning I was taking the Nortel exam." He always thought that Chinese opera was teaching how to act in drama.
But the first time I tried it, I didn't try it again. "The teacher said that if you fail your lines, your form will not pass, and no matter how high your performance score is, it is useless."
The next year, Su Ke changed his application to the Central Academy of Drama and was admitted smoothly. For the first two years, he hadn't gone out to shoot. When he graduated, Su Ke won the three good college students in the Chinese opera, and at the same time took the three good college students in Beijing, "the first place in the overall score of the class." "As an outstanding graduate, many units want him, and the admissions leaders of Qingyi and Renyi have asked him why he did not come to the exam."
Liang Bolong is the head of the Chinese Opera Acting Department and Gong Li's teacher, and Gao Jingwen is Su Ke's teacher. At a dinner, Teacher Gao told Su Ke that Teacher Liang wanted him to stay in school. Su Ke said to go home and discuss with his parents, and when his parents listened, they felt that it was good to be a teacher, "The teacher is a human soul engineer, and at the same time, he can also act, how good is the dual identity."
3 Initially, when you face a student, you will only say "do it again"
But after graduation to become a teacher, the pressure on Su Ke is actually not small, "When a teacher needs to jump out to see, it is completely different from being an actor, these are two professions, I really can't do it at the beginning." "In the first year, Su Ke took Deng Chao's class." I remember they also gave me nicknames, that is, I was cool and didn't like to talk, in fact, I was nervous to say that I couldn't say it, and I could only go high and cold. Su Ke now thinks it is quite interesting in retrospect, at that time, after the student performed, he would not comment, but would only say: "Do it again, act." "Do it again, look, this is better." At that time, I really couldn't give a particularly practical opinion, just to repeat it. ”
In order to do a good job in teaching, Su Ke has not gone out to shoot dramas for almost two years, and every day he goes to class to learn and take notes with the old professor, how to teach, how to practice, how to shape the character image, from which aspect to talk about the relationship between the characters, and to prescribe the situation.
Watching his classmates, brothers and sisters gradually become famous in the film and television circle, he will also have ideas. "Students sign a contract in the third or fourth grade and can go out to shoot a play, but the teacher can't. Later, slowly the policy improved, I think it is very good, the teacher must also practice, you have to keep pace with the times, keep up with the changes, go out and don't even know the equipment, people's ways have changed, you still teach according to books. ”
For about ten years, Su Ke worked as a teacher while taking advantage of the winter and summer vacations to go out to shoot dramas. In the past two years, he has gradually returned to the film and television circle, and he can clearly feel the change in the circle, "Every drama filmed now is paying attention to quality, the quality is not good, no one watches, including the small number of clicks on the web drama, you can't make money." The audience is not stupid, everyone is getting smarter. ”
Fresh Q&A
Beijing News: Coming out of the relatively simple environment of the school, have you not adapted to the mentality?
Su Ke: You yourself are simple, everything is simple, you have to be complicated, everything is complicated. I am relatively single, that is, acting, I only act as an actor to play my play, my character well. I'm an introvert, not very sociable, and I'm left to the company to do everything else.
Beijing News: In the show business circle, it is always said that the value of the face is online, what do you think?
Su Ke: I don't understand where the standard is, where the line is. What is good-looking, not good-looking, "Notre Dame de Paris" bell tower freak Quasimodo, can you say that his appearance is not online, then the level of your evaluation itself is too low. If you look good, look at the painting, don't look at the real person, now the computer level is so developed, you can create a better looking person than everyone in the world, that is called the real value. There is no perfect person, and everyone should care more about spiritual and spiritual things.
Beijing News: Deng Chao and Wang Kai are both your students, what are they impressed about during their time at school?

This child is particularly sunny, and I already felt it at that time, he was this piece of material. Wang Kai is also, I took him for a while. When he was in school, he was more introverted, self-explanatory, very disciplined, but there was a kind of tenacity, such as rehearsal, he would find props by himself, move by himself, and set up by himself.
Beijing News: There are many rival plays with Huang Xuan in "The Age of Entrepreneurship", I heard that you have become a year-old friend?
Su Ke: We are both very introverted, talking about performances, drinking some dry red, sometimes talking about love, talking about family, talking about emotions. Our point of view is similar, we have to talk about the work, and he has a deep understanding of performance, such as some very delicate scenes, he thinks that it is not necessary to open up, sink, stabilize, that kind of power may be stronger.
