China News Network, March 13, Australia's national treasure comedy "Burning Madhouse" will open the fifth round of performances at the Poly Theater in Beijing from April 12 to 16, and Jiang Yi, who missed the fourth round of performances due to joining "Paramount Tonight", will return to the stage this round.
Jiang Yi graduated from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama and has starred in many stage plays. In 2016, he participated in the Oriental Satellite TV scene comedy variety show "Paramount Tonight" and also starred in the popular online drama "Forensic Qin Ming", which made him famous for a while, and the number of Weibo fans rose to more than 300,000.
Comedy requires actors to be more egotistical
In "Paramount Tonight", the comedy performance of Jiang Yi and Zhang Haiyu, a "awkward" partner, was liked by the audience and circled a lot of fans.
When it comes to comedy, Jiang Yi believes that China's comedy performances have shown a blowout in recent years, whether it is stage plays or film and television dramas. "This is related to the current social situation in China, the current pace of life is fast, and everyone needs comedy to relieve stress and have a happy mood, which is a trend." At present, there are many comedians, and a large number of comedy works appear, but the quality is uneven. Some comedies are really done with heart, and some may be teams that are assembled to cater to the market. ”
In Jiang Yi's view, all plays must be done well with great enthusiasm and a serious work attitude. "But comedy requires actors to be more self-centered and have their own way of dealing with performances, rather than mass performances." Successful comedians like Chen Peisi and Song Xiaobao have unique and distinctive personal styles. Comedy performance must be related to the actor himself, have his own unique understanding, expression, and bring anti-routine and unconventional things to the creation, which will surprise the audience. ”
Acting is a must for an actor
Jiang Yi puts more emphasis on the future development direction of film and television dramas, and this time he returns to the stage to recharge, he sees as an opportunity to hone his acting skills. At present, the performing arts industry ignores acting skills, and the phenomenon of "small fresh meat" using stand-ins is criticized by people, in Jiang Yi's view, acting is a necessary lesson for actors, and it is a skill that must be possessed and must be possessed in the acting industry.
Jiang Yi, who has performed many stage plays, has the experience that stage plays are the art of actors, and the performance of actors is presented to the audience, so the actors do not have real acting skills and solid skills, and it is difficult to shape roles on the stage for the audience to recognize. "Stage plays are difficult to fake, because the audience can intuitively see and feel the actors' lines, shapes, and expressiveness."
"In contrast, film and television dramas are more of a director's art, there are many post-production auxiliary technologies to help the work present, the audience sees more of a lens art, technology can make up for some performance deficiencies." But whether it is the stage or the screen, for actors, they need to hone their acting skills. Actors have a good foundation, the director can have room to play, he can also interpret different performances, try more possibilities, and make better performances than conventional performances," Jiang Yi said.
I don't think I'm a small fresh meat type
"Paramount Tonight" gave Jiang Yi the first taste of popularity. He confessed that this was something he had not thought of before. "I didn't want to bring myself popularity through this platform, I wanted to be on a broader platform and show myself to more tv viewers." Now there is no exaggerated change in life, through television to let more viewers know themselves, like themselves, sometimes go out will be recognized by the audience, to express their likes to me. ”
"Every actor has his own positioning, and my positioning of myself is not the small fresh meat type that plays youth idol dramas. I prefer to try characters with personality and interesting characters, and I feel that these are more suitable for me," Jiang Yi said, "but if the audience has the impression of small fresh meat, I will not reject it." As an actor, any image conveyed to the audience is acceptable, as long as it is shown to the audience from the heart. As for what the audience likes and wants to see, it is not something that the actor can decide. Actors only need to do their duty and complete the performance. ”
