On March 4, at the first "member channel" of the Fifth Session of the 13th NATIONAL COMMITTEE of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Feng Yuanzheng, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice president of the Beijing People's Art Theater, said that the virtue and art shuangxin is actually "a clean and innocent person, conscientious and serious work", and he hopes that every young literary and art worker will become a good actor and worker with both virtue and art.
The words of Committee member Feng Yuanzheng undoubtedly put forward new demands on young literary and art workers. On the same day, the topic of #Feng Yuanzheng explaining what is virtue and art shuangxin was also once on the hot search.
In 2021, a comprehensive governance action will have a significant and far-reaching impact on the ecology of the entertainment sector.
In the same year, the "Symposium on The Work of Cultivating Oneself, Keeping Oneself upright, and forging one's soul -- The Work Forum on the Construction of Professional Ethics and Conduct of Literary and Art Workers of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles" held a discussion on such undesirable phenomena as the "rice circle" culture and the "theory of only traffic" and some illegal and immoral phenomena that have appeared in the literary and art circles and the entertainment industry, and expressed the consensus and attitude on resolutely handling the problem of illegal and immorality, the management of the chaos of bad fan culture, and other work involving the construction of professional style and industry leadership.
More and more literary and art workers realize that it is necessary to unify their personal moral cultivation and social image with the social effects of their works, adhere to artistic ideals, pursue both virtue and art, and strive to preserve righteousness for history, promote virtues for the world, and leave a clear name for themselves with noble ethics and works of both literary quality and beauty.
So, what is virtue and art? What makes you a really good actor?
Today, when "small fresh meat" dominates the screen and becomes the norm, the corresponding "old drama bone" has gradually become a hot word with the help of the network. To some extent, the term "old drama bone" has become synonymous with the acting school and the artists of virtue and art in the hearts of the majority of netizens. So, at the moment when various departments are jointly rectifying the chaos of culture and entertainment and guiding the healthy development of the entertainment industry, what can we learn from the old drama bones?
This movie may be able to answer everyone's doubts.

Poster for the movie "Actor"
The movie "Actor" was released in China in October last year, as the first documentary film in China to discuss the moral and artistic skills of actors, and it triggered a strong response after its release.
Trailer for the movie "Actor"
This is a film that looks back at history from the entry point of the "Twenty-two Film Stars" of New China, and it is also an image that has precious enlightenment value for the present. Director Pan Yilin and the main creative team have spent five years to display the perceptions and thoughts of artists such as Lan, Qin Yi, Tian Hua, Yu Yang, Jin Di, Xie Fang, Wang Xiaotang, Zhu Xijuan and other artists on the big screen in the form of documentary and video materials. Today's people can see how the older generation of artists, represented by the "twenty-two film stars", interpret the true meaning of "actors" with their lifelong artistic practice.
Stills from the movie "Actor"
"Virtue first" was their first class. In "Actor", Zhu Xijuan recalled that the first lesson she learned on the road to acting was "morality", "In that year, before we learned Stanislavsky's performance system, the first lesson was left to 'morality'". She remembers that the teachers always said, "Virtue comes first." Actors should not love themselves, but love the performing arts itself."
Putting morality in the first place in the art is the words and deeds of the older generation of artists from the teachers, and it is also the spiritual nourishment drawn from the deeds of countless archetypal figures.
"Sister Jiang sacrificed, and we won the honor." In front of the camera, Yu Lan, who was 97 years old at the time, said that he kept waving his hand, "Please forget me as an actor, and always remember Sister Jiang." "The old artist recalled that before playing Sister Jiang, she read and read the novel "Red Rock" and internalized the details of the revolutionaries' indomitability and resistance in prison and their struggle with the enemy." It is to express the lofty ideals and beliefs of the revolutionary martyrs. When the actor holds such a belief, "Don't say goodbye with tears, comrades, let us greet victory with laughter!" This line in "Eternal Life in the Fire" echoes more than half a century of time and space.
Niu Ben played a lifelong "small role". But he believes that there are only small roles, no small actors. No matter how inconspicuous the role, it is also necessary to have high standards and strict requirements. Because in that era when the price of film was high, cherishing every inch of film and paying for the role wholeheartedly was the basic law of the actor he adhered to. In his view, the actor should consider "what can I give the role", not what he can get after playing this play.
"Actor" said
"There is always something more precious in the world than money." ——Wang Xiaotang
"Without an audience, there are no actors." ——Xie Fang
"No matter what kind of drama an actor plays, he must really devote himself, really sad and silent and mournful, really strict and threatening, true relatives and not laughing and harmony, yes, guizhen also." ——Tian Hua
On the screen, they said so sincerely. This real insight is the condensation of the older generation of artists on their acting careers, and a thousand words can actually be combined into one sentence
"Be innocent and act seriously."
"Actor" is 93 minutes long, pan Yilin said, which condenses the proper meaning of the word "actor", is the "twenty-two movie stars", the older generation of moral and artistic artists to cultivate virtue and art, but also for today's young generation of actors to set up a spiritual benchmark.

"They are a true couple of virtues and arts"
"They will always be able to bear the three words 'artist' in our hearts"
"Suitable for today's literary and artistic workers to watch as an example and encouragement"
"The spirit of dedication of veteran artists regardless of gains and losses is the best encouragement for young practitioners"
Touched by the film, the audience expressed their respect for the old artists and their expectations for the current literary and artistic workers.
The works have earned veteran artists a foothold.
In "Actor", the older generation of artists who appeared in the film, such as Yu Lan, Qin Yi, Tian Hua, Yu Yang, Jin Di, Xie Fang, Wang Xiaotang, Zhu Xijuan, etc., have long since ceased to be young, but people have never forgotten what they looked like when they were flourishing. In the hearts of generations of Chinese audiences, they are Jiang Jie and Xu Yunfeng of "Eternal Life in the Fire", Lin Daojing and Lin Hong in "Song of Youth", Li Yumei in "Daughter of the Party", Yang Xiaodong and the Golden Ring and Silver Ring in "Wildfire Spring Wind Fighting Ancient City"... With their own works, they have left the audience with indelible image memories.
The acting career of the "Twenty-Two Movie Stars" is a long-term practice of interpreting the true meaning of "actors" with works.
The release of "Actor" is undoubtedly a spring breeze for the entertainment circle, and the older generation of literary and art workers have illuminated the direction for the current literary and artistic workers with their persistence and perseverance, hoping that the spirit of the old drama bones and old artists will nourish the young generation like a spring wind and rain, and guide them to become better and better.
At the same time, the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles are also continuing to carry out the commendation work of young and middle-aged literary and artistic workers, so as to strengthen the demonstration and leadership, benchmarking and leading, create a strong atmosphere for the literary and artistic circles to pursue both virtue and art, and establish a good reputation in the literary and art circles and a good social image of literary and art workers.
The national selection of young and middle-aged literary and artistic workers in 2004 aims to carry forward the spirit of virtue and art, cultivate a team of high-quality literary and artistic talents, and prosper and develop socialist literature and art in the new era, and award the title of "Virtue and Art Shuangxin" to literary and artistic workers from theater, film, television, music, dance, fine arts, photography, calligraphy, music art, acrobatics and folk art.
They are the backbone of China's contemporary literary and artistic creation, adhering to the concept of establishing a career first, being the first to be a man, closely relying on the creative orientation of taking the people as the center and taking the general public as the object, and concentrating on creating with a spirit of "the bench must sit cold for ten years", calming down, enduring loneliness, accurately grasping the people's yearning for a better life and new expectations, drawing nourishment from the broad and profound traditional culture, daring to make breakthroughs and making innovations, and dedicating a large number of literary and artistic works that stand firmly, stand firmly, and shout loudly.
