There are thousands of hidden skills of celebrities, singing and dancing, vocal cord imitation, paragraph making machine... You can't do it without them, only you can't think of it. However, if you want to say that it is a little less popular, have you ever seen a tea ceremony ability?
Recently, Sister SO noticed a tea lover hidden under the appearance of a powerful actor - Ji Chen.
When it comes to Ji Chen, some people may first think of Xiao Jingyu, the king of Qi, who has a glance of ten thousand years in "Langya List", may be the gentle and elegant, calm and moderate Three Princes Yuanji in "Drunken Linglong", may be the meticulous grassland king Yelü Xiyin in "Yan Yuntai", and may be the calm and calm black glasses in "Sand Sea".
Ji Chen has always given people the impression of "drama throwing face", and each character portrayed is very different, but it is integrated with him.
Just like the recent hit "Restart of the Snake Bone Buddha", he once again relied on his own interpretation to make the character of black glasses more three-dimensional, not only immersing fans in the surprise of "after-sales", but also making the majority of audience netizens think that Ji Chen, that is, black glasses, irreplaceable.
However, Ji Chen, who hides behind the characters, is actually very kind and interesting. He has lived in the crew for many years and is a small master of group life.
Especially as a foodie, you can have a basket of your kitchen utensils - steamers, woks, and even baking pans. As long as colleagues and friends have ingredients to process, Ji Chen is always the "Chinese little boss" in the crew.
This, as can be seen from the food photos he usually posts on Weibo, is a real and grounded dry rice worker.
In addition to eating, drinking tea is also a must-do thing for Ji Chen every day. Ordering tea has become a "sense of ceremony" in his life.
At present, it is the qingming season, weeping willows, smoke and rain, if you can accompany a good bowl of tea at this moment, wouldn't it make this spring day look more perfect?
Sister SO took advantage of the eve of the holiday to invite Ji Chen to be a guest of this issue of Sohu Fashion's "I Am a Roommate with Stars" column. In the one-hour program, Ji Chen took his full set of tea sets to the netizens in the live broadcast room and taught a set of traditional Chinese tea ordering methods.
The so-called "tea ordering" in spring is actually derived from the customs of the Tang and Song dynasties. In the history of Chinese tea, there is a saying that "tea flourished in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty", and the Song Dynasty tea order has an extremely important position in the history of the Chinese tea ceremony. Especially at the peak of ancient Chinese civilization, the Song Dynasty scholars and doctors generally pursued an elegant and secluded life.
Ji Chen learned the Song Dynasty's extremely elegant method of "ordering tea" because he read a copy of Song Huizong's "On The Great View of Tea". Although the step of ordering tea seems to be only two actions of water injection and stirring, Song Huizong carefully boiled it down to "seven soups and tea"——
Before starting, place a small amount of tea powder with a teaspoon at the bottom of the tea cup.
Step 1: Measure the tea to teach the soup, and the mixture is like melting glue.
As the name suggests, according to the amount of tea, inject the right amount of boiling water, and adjust the tea paste like a melting gum, with a certain concentration and viscosity. Stir rapidly to whisk the tea powder until it is creamy and fully melt into the water.
According to Ji Chen's reminder, the first water is very important because it determines the subsequent direction and the overall shape of the tea. Therefore, students who start to try to "order tea", do not ignore the key of this "one soup"!
Step 2: Strike the force and the pearls fall
The water injected is slightly more than the first water.
The stirring speed of this step must be fast, but not brute force. Stabilizing the strength is the key, if you can play big bubbles and small bubbles like Ji Chen demonstrated, then it is perfect to achieve the so-called "pearls".
Step 3: Flick lightly and evenly, corn crab eyes.
The speed of using the tea reed should be even, and the large bubbles should be broken into small bubbles at a uniform speed. As Ji Chen said, remember to use "internal power"! After this step of stirring, the tea noodles will appear grainy, and the small bubbles will be like the eyes of a crab, oh, do you see?
Step 4: Slightly wider than fast, light clouds gradually emerge.
The amount of water injected at this step is less, and the amplitude of rotation using the tea raft is larger, and the speed is smaller than the previous step.
In Ji Chen's words, it is to dissolve the previous internal force slightly. The so-called light clouds gradually emerge, which means that the color of the tea noodles becomes relatively white, as if the clouds gradually rise from the tea noodles.
Step 5: It can be slightly longitudinal, and the tea color is exhausted.
The same is injected with a small amount of water, but this fifth soup, can be played casually, do not need to be too fast or too slow, the standard of soup is actually water and milk blending.
Step 6: Stand by the view, and the nipples are erect.
On the basis of the previous, continue to fill the water to complete the sixth soup. At this time, the main purpose is to continue to adjust the appearance of the tea noodles. The tea powder that has not been beaten off at the bottom should be continued to be beaten up to make the milk surface thicker. Not only will the color look better, but the taste will also be raised to a higher level.
Step Seven: The milk mist is raging and overflowing.
Requires a quick hit in the upper middle. Until the week condenses without moving. After a few tens of seconds, a cup of exquisite tea is complete!
Look at Ji Chen's final product, Black Master, you are also too talented, right?
come! Zzang ~ Let's have a toast!
Ji Chen also revealed to everyone that during the filming of "Restart of the Snake Bone Buddha", he would bring a lot of water bottles every day in the crew, and this appeared in a whole set of tea sets in the live broadcast room. In the interval between filming, order your own tea to cheer yourself up. Even if you are occasionally depressed, whenever you order tea for yourself, all the unpleasantness before will immediately dissipate.
After all, the characters in the work need to put themselves in a state of excitement, whether it is playing uplifting music in the car or ordering a cup of tea for themselves, it is a way to make yourself feel happy.
In addition to demonstrating some tea for netizens, Ji Chen also generously shared with netizens his recent episode of "Restarting the Snake Bone Buddha". In this shooting, he was most impressed by the huge number of fight scenes and action scenes.
Once, when I was hanging Weia in a cave, I had to go through a deep pit in the middle and jump to the cliff opposite. If you directly use the power of Weah, it is easy to look very fake. In order to make the picture look real and tense, you need to accurately control your own strength and performance techniques. In the end, I shot it many times, and my physical strength was almost overdrawn.
Or run nearly 100 meters to the rock wall and run back and forth at least ten times. Because it needs to cooperate with the camera, every time you run hard, it is even more difficult, and the physical strength can not be supported at all, and the last time it is almost completely paralyzed. But it may be that it has reached its limit, and the natural state presented is unexpectedly very good in the shot. Ji Chen sighed deeply and said that everything was worth it.
Even the new scars and bruises on his body every day are in his own eyes a record of his dedication to acting. Not only will it not be bothered by this, but it will feel proud. Really dedicated actors are not wrong!
Can act, and understand the tea ceremony, it seems that Ji Chen's treasure boy is going to be unable to hide. In the little cute people watching "Restart the Snake Bone Buddha Metamorphosis", you can also get the same "tea" of The Mirror Brother in your spare time! Health, nutrition and cultural connotations. In addition to health, you can also find the pleasure of ritual.
P.S. Reminder from Ji Chen: Try not to drink tea before going to bed, otherwise it will affect the quality of sleep
