Old Movies: Incredible Acting
Text/Great Remorse Remembers Zhi Bing
Zhang Ruifang is the female star of the so-called "Ten Mile Ocean Field" before the "liberation", but the female militia captain she played in the red classic "Southern Expedition and Northern War" makes people not suspect that she is the "people of the old base area", and the breath of mud legs and tuba road comes out of the bones.
What is even more incredible is that the female militiaman named "Er Yan" under Zhang Ruifang in the same movie is so simple and rustic, you will never think that the actor who plays "Er Yan" is Actually Zhang Hongmei, who played the big miss in the "pre-liberation" petty bourgeois classic "Spring in a Small Town", you will think that it is an excellent mass actor found in the local area.

The famous Shangguan Yunzhu is the best actor for Miss City's wife — in terms of her temperament and her acting — but when you see her role as the caretaker who persists in the anti-Japanese struggle in "South Island Storm" (see caption), you will wonder if she played it. As for the working people she later played in "Early Spring in February" and "Dead Wood in Spring", she was simply wonderful, and her face was full of chai, rice, oil and salt.
Another striking example is Taiwanese entertainer Shu Qi. She grew up in Taiwan, and she never dreamed of "going to the mountains and going to the countryside" in the mainland - even Zhiqing's children could not imagine the life of their parents - when I, a Zhiqing, heard that Shu Qi would play Zhiqing in "Beauty Grass", I felt that the director was simply dizzy, how did she act! But after the film came out, I was stunned: this Shu Qi was really like those hard-working, spicy and amorous sisters we had.

Another equally amazing example is Zhang Guorong's communist party member in "Red Lover"!
It is reported that "there is a scene in 'Red Lovers' filmed in a very cold winter, Zhang Guorong is wearing a thin shirt standing in the cold wind, and wearing shackles on his feet." Some staff suggested that Zhang Guorong wear a pair of shackles with a light weight, but Zhang Guorong, who pursues the realism of the picture, is unwilling and has been wearing a very heavy shackle.
"There is a shot in 'Red Lovers' that no longer needs to be close-up of the footsteps, but Zhang Guorong still insists on not taking the shackles, until the skin of the ankle is polished by the chain to make 'flesh and blood blurred'" (360 Encyclopedia)

I've seen a movie starring Chow Yun-fat. He plays the king of the small nanyang country in the film, the breath of the Nanyang sea breeze, the temperament of the king of the small country, as if enveloping the soul of Fa Ge, where there is also the shadow of Ah Lang and Xiao Ma Ge! I've seen the TV series "Iron Horse Seeking Bridge", where there is a graceful and generous housewife, how can you believe your eyes - is that the vulgar charter wife Yuan Qiu?

Back to the mainland.
Feng Zhe, who was killed during the Cultural Revolution, played the simple and unpretentious high battalion commander of the People's Liberation Army in the aforementioned "Southern Expedition and Northern War", which left a very deep impression on people, making the audience think that he was from the old revolutionary area and experienced a rain of bullets and bullets. To the "anti-special feature film" "Yangcheng Dark Sentinel", he starred as a public security detective, a gentleman, a clever policeman, and dealt with Yuru with "female secret agents", from a cropper to a beautiful boy in Guangzhou, as if even the blood had been changed!

At the end of "Southern Expedition and Northern War", a senior commander of the People's Liberation Army who ascended to the top of the crowd and made a generous statement, which attracted the cheers and thunderous voices of the military and the people all over the mountains, can you believe that it is played by Chen Ge, the obscene and ridiculous Wang Baochang in the comedy "Catching Zhuang Ding"? He is really solemn and obscene, and he can act from the blood!

Some actors copy the theory of the separation of foreign actors from roles, but they become what is not like acting! Song Qingling, who is like a mother-in-law of the Zhuang family, a little Red Army like a rich second generation, Pan Jinlian, who is a hero like a woman, and Wu Dalang, who is like a philosopher... Of course, this is also because the Cultural Revolution caused confusion and misalignment of social roles, the mental outlook was forced to be uniform, and the younger generation did not see the real or profound nobility, did not see the vast diversity of human expressions, from books to books, from movies to movies - I think Chow Xingchi bystander Qing made a bitter satire on this dogmatic childish performance in "The King of Comedy" and other nonsense movies.
The direct cause of unreal performance is that it is not performed.
Typically, a certain male actor and an actress that I hate deeply. No matter what role the man plays, he will always wear thirteen with a taut face, and the woman will always have a false innocence. This kind of actor who is strong in the outside world is actually praised as a "strong faction". When I heard the words "strength faction", "acting faction", "idol faction", my throat itched! Mr. Nguyen Chiu rapping is an entertainment and leisure, in the same way, acting in a movie, why is it so pseudo-academic? Mainland movies, due to the destruction of the Cultural Revolution, are still less than 17 years before the Cultural Revolution!
On the contrary, the other is to perform desperately, afraid that people will not know that he has read the acting department, squeezing his eyebrows, pinching his voice, exaggerating and contrived, telling you that he has acted well and will act in drama! This kind of mannerism, they call themselves "pinch", this word makes my throat itch again.
"17 years" movies have produced so many fine products, leading the insider is the key, Tian Han, Xia Yan and these people are from Shanghai Beach. Before the Cultural Revolution, there was a great emphasis on actors "experiencing life", which was also a successful experience. At that time, in order to play Lu Xun, Zhao Dan had already entered Lu Xun's life in advance before the shooting of the eight characters, and on any occasion, including taking the bus, he wore Lu Xun-style robes and never took them off, which was jaw-dropping. The great Shi Hui, in order to play the beggar in the classic "My Life", went directly to the streets of Beijing to change his clothes and beggars, looking for the feeling of crawling full of lice!

Now our high-profile "stars", from school to school, from school to set, what to perform the bittersweet and bittersweet of life! There are hands and feet on the face and there is no heart on the heart, but also smug and proud of the academic school! In fact, the actor should talk about the most is experience. Rodin said: "Art is emotion. Tolstoy said: "Literature and art do not rely on logic, but on passion." "The movie line is really special! Shi Hua and Zhao Dan's generation paid attention to "getting out of the stage" and "getting out of the bottom of life", and today's "academics" have a very shallow and naïve dogma about society, history, life, and performance, and their acting skills are terrible, just like the superb acting skills of the real actors mentioned above, which also makes me feel incredible!
What is even more incredible is that those high-profile "factions" and "stars" who are high-profile people cannot learn to perform, and learn "style" (what they call "fans" - this word makes my throat itch for the third time) but they have no teacher, they are from the mainland, they speak like Hong Kong, and they even point their heads in a loud voice, and Iri Wulu "like this".
Those who really have experience and achievements, such as Wang Xuedi, Chen Daoming, etc., are relatively low-key or even very low-key.
As the saying goes: "Boasting that the mother-in-law has no good feet, and boasting that the doctor has no good medicine." ”
