2023 has just begun, not only explosive dramas, but also hot terriers.
The hot meme came from this year's Spring Festival movie publicity, and let it quickly ferment into a hot topic among the whole country because of an article released by CCTV.
On February 13, CCTV released an article.
The title of the article is sharp, with the words "'desperate illiteracy', can you put on a good show?" "Point out the topic of discussion in the article.
The content directly points to those incomprehensible operations in the entertainment industry, and even directly complains at the beginning:
It's scary not to be literate.
The birth of the term "desperate illiteracy" originated when the starring actor of a Spring Festival movie was interviewed during a roadshow and asked what he felt about his work and characters.
This is the case with several questions in a row, netizens are speechless, and the trend is "desperate illiteracy".
Not only that, Tianjin Traffic Radio also talked about this topic not long ago.
The two presenters also disassembled the word through multiple dimensions so that the audience could better understand the meaning of the word.

No one expected that the first hot word out of the circle in 2023 would be "desperate illiteracy".
Let's have a good chat, so that CCTV can't stand it, what is the "desperate illiteracy" that specially wrote an article to criticize.
First, the "desperate illiterate" hardest hit areas
In fact, as early as 2021, there was a word similar to "desperate illiterate" out of the circle.
The word is called, "Nine Leaky Fish".
Nine-leaky fish, as the name suggests, is a fish that slips through the net of nine-year compulsory education.
The words are actually not new, but the real out-of-the-loop is in 2021.
In June of that year, because Ma Jiaqi's college entrance examination results were highly discussed, as a new-generation boy group idol, Ma Jiaqi attracted a lot of attention.
The failure of the college entrance examination naturally caused a huge discussion.
Huoshu retweeted a blog post that "Ma Jiaqi art examination training costs 300,000 yuan", with the comment "This money is better than giving it to me".
The original intention of the fire tree was to make fun of the training institution, but it was interpreted by fans as a mockery of Ma Jiaqi, so he began to attack the fire tree.
Soon, Ma Jiaqi's company clarified the "300,000 training fee", and Huoshu also explained it again.
This well-founded statement still failed to satisfy the fans, and this statement also allowed fans to find a point of attack, questioning Firetree's academic qualifications, calling him a "nine-leaky fish".
As a result, Huoshu, who was questioned by fans "Is he admitted to Tsinghua Peking University", is not only a doctor of engineering from Tsinghua, but also a science champion in the college entrance examination in Luzhou City.
The Huoshu Ma Jiaqi incident made netizens pay attention to the artists who debuted in the boy group and the girl group again.
This group, because many people have long been trainees, there are indeed shortcomings in cultural classes.
There are really many "cultural jokes" made by these artists in internal entertainment.
And some are outrageous to the point of being unbelievable.
Some you say that you forgot to write with a pen, such as the "Xiu Immortal Lu" written by Yang Chao, strictly speaking, three words are wrong by two.
When writing the character Fu, the radical also made a mistake.
Meng Meiqi wrote a handwritten message at the brand event, the word "sell" can also be said to be a personal writing style, then the word "Zhen" is really wrong.
She also wrote "charm" as "Wei Li", and "want to try" as "like...", and the trial words were directly wrong.
Wang Yibo's "tour" character has not been written well, I missed it once in 2017, and I couldn't write it directly correctly in 2019, and the word "to" was not written correctly.
Yi Yangqianxi wrote "Kang" incorrectly on the show.
Wang Ziyi "forgot to write with a pen" and could not write "wings".
Huang Zitao didn't understand what "bottleneck" meant.
Qin Xiaoxian can't write the "shooting" of "filming", can't write "defense", and can only write "knee" in pinyin.
Although Wu Xuanyi explained in advance that she is not good at mathematics, but the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within ten will not be, right?
8 times 7 is still in the nine-nine multiplication table.
What's more frightening is that most of these artists who cause incredible mistakes, and most of them can even say that the ultimate goal of everyone, is actors.
In these outrageous news, what we don't know is how low is the offline of the "illiterate actors" criticized by CCTV?
Regarding the profession of "actor", it seems that many people cannot treat him correctly.
There is a famous quote from Zhang Ziyi:
"Why do you have to be an actor?
Is acting a lowest-level profession?
Everyone wants a piece of the action! ”
Later, there was a helpless speech by Hao Lei:
"My child can't study well, you get him to go to film school."
Particularly scary.
How can someone who you can't read a book read a script, let alone say that you went to present it.
You experience, you can't read it. ”
Yes, actors can not be highly educated people, but at least in understanding the role and reading the text
Because, to what extent an actor can understand the role, determines how much thickness the character can have.
As mentioned at the beginning, when Wang Yibo talked about the role he played, he gave an evaluation of "nothing to say".
In an interview last year, Zhao Lusi talked about the role in "Alley" he played, and he didn't even know the background of the era in which the characters were located.
Huang Zitao used "domineering" and "pitiful" to describe his role in his first electrocution work "Negotiator".
When the host further asked, how overbearing, how pitiful.
He gave a very simple and understandable explanation, domineering about love, pitiful when he had nothing.
Because of the tolerance of internal entertainment to these stars, stars who regard themselves as actors can't say when asked what an actor is.
Finally, I held back the words "It's me".
Second, the entertainment industry is not all "desperate illiterate"
Of course, there are "desperate illiterate" in show business, but not all.
"Crazy", which is still popular today, at the end of the first round, many characters in the play wrote closing speeches.
Among them, the role of Lin Jiachuan, the actor of Tang Xiaolong in the play, said goodbye to the circle because of its beautiful writing.
In this long article, he talked about his attitude in the face of popularity: red is not red, like history and the universe, sometimes it is just an accident.
What you have to do is to deal with it naturally, continue your life as usual, and continue to act steadily.
talked about everyone's love for Tang Xiaolong, talked about the scenes that impressed him, and talked about his and Zhang Songwen's speculation about the characters in the play.
Also in this article, Lin Jiachuan said that on days when there is no announcement, he will hide in his room and read.
Reading the history of Ming and watching "The Three-Body Problem", I am very immersed, and I often see myself as weightless.
Looking forward is the torrent of history, only a few names are screened out, and looking up at the laws of the dark forest in the depths of the universe, those names will also be erased.
Whether it is his understanding of the past, his feelings in the present, or his future messages, his words are both understandable and enjoyable.
Zhang Songwen of the same crew, Wei-Bo is also where he records his daily life.
Sometimes just a few casual words can tell that he has a little ink on his chest.
When not filming, he likes to experience life, go to the market, train station to see people.
He also looks at paintings, looks at exhibitions, and ponders the expressions and hearts of everyone in a painting.
Only if you are usually willing to spend time on the small things in life and know how to live, can you better understand the role.
Or Zhang Yi in this drama, his growth history, everyone knows it.
When he was not yet famous, in order to star in "Soldier Assault", he looked through the original book and wrote thousands of words to the director about his understanding of the role.
He has also published books, and every interview is also logical, and he is an actor with a back.
Chen Jianbin, who has excellent achievements in the field of actors and directors, when he was admitted to graduate school, his research direction was performance theory and performance teaching.
In his graduation thesis, he explained "why some actors' plays are particularly attractive".
His answer is that these actors are knowledgeable, their ability to understand is different from others, and such performances are particularly powerful.
When you can see the background of the times from the character he created, and see not just one person, but a group of people, this is the "influence of learning".
It is precisely because of this that he has his interpretation of Li Bai that amazes many people.
At that time, he always wanted to act in dramas and wanted to play Li Bai.
Because once when he was filming in Hengdian, walking on the antique street at dusk in the field, it seemed that he dreamed back to the Tang Dynasty.
"You said, Li Bai was drunk, fell in a tavern, suddenly opened his eyes in the middle of the night, a light was like a bean, a little guy was closing the door, the surrounding was pitch black, what was Li Bai's mood at that time, I was thinking, does he want to be home?"
The Li Bai in Chen Jianbin's mind came from far west, and he must have been very sad and sad at that time.
He said: "If I go to play Li Bai, I will start from this aspect and play you a Li Bai that you have not seen." ”
When playing Li Bai is sad, he plays Li Bai who is homesick, Li Bai who hurts lovesickness, Li Bai who plays melancholy, Li Bai who is very painful, and Li Bai who is struggling.
I want to play Li Bai, who has wanted to go home all my life but has never gone back, and I want to play Li Bai who has wanted to realize his ambitions all his life, but has never realized it all his life.
That's why he fished for the moon in the water and drowned in the water.
Chen Jianbin's understanding of Li Bai is to achieve the kind of "learned actor" he has always wanted to be.
And such actors are really getting fewer and fewer.
Third, what is desperate is not "illiteracy" but "blindness".
In fact, the entertainment industry is not a circle with strict requirements for academic qualifications.
Everyone understands what it means to specialize in the art industry, not to mention that in the entertainment industry, there are also good actors with low cultural levels.
On the spring evening of that year, Teacher Zhao Lirong's four "genuine" big characters were vigorous and powerful, and the gesture was majestic and free.
After the Spring Festival Gala that year, many people asked Zhao Lirong for words, but she said with a smile: "I actually can't read." ”
In other words, the four words "genuine" in "Working Adventures" were specially practiced by the illiterate Zhao Lirong.
Initially, the crew asked Zhao Lirong to write the eight words "Tong Cao is not deceptive, the real thing", because Zhao Lirong could not read, so she had to let Gong Hanlin describe these eight words, and then go back to practice by herself.
But even if he practiced hard for many days, he still couldn't reach the level of satisfying himself, so Zhao Lirong closed her door to a teacher and found a few people who really wrote brush characters to learn to write.
It took months to practice it in old newspaper after newspaper.
In the end, her home was full of words on the bed, table, and floor.
Wang Baoqiang, who has become a symbol in Chinese movies, can be said to be a well-deserved spokesperson for grassroots actors.
He went to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts very early, and later became an actor in Beipiao, and he did not have the opportunity to learn, but it did not prevent him from wanting to learn.
And also willing to learn.
In "Thirteen Invitations", Wang Baoqiang talked about the early filming, he said that because he didn't read much and didn't recognize many words, it was very difficult to film.
In order to better understand the role and shoot the scene well, he carries the dictionary with him.
Through filming, he learned a lot of cultural knowledge, all from the script.
For Baoqiang, filming is equivalent to going to school.
Because he used his heart.
As the article in CCTV said, "The Self-cultivation of Actors" focuses on "cultivation", not "self", and the most important thing is to always have a sense of awe for performance.
Some people can fire and keep fire because they have such a sense of awe.
Tony Leung, who dropped out of school to film at the age of 15, can also be said to have gone to an "extreme" for his seriousness in acting.
During the filming of "In the Mood for Love", he had a scene that appeared in front of us for only a few seconds, but he ate 26 bowls of wontons for this scene.
For a satisfactory shot, he can shoot a scene more than 50 times in a row.
At this time, who will be entangled in how high Tony Leung's knowledge is?
So "desperate illiteracy" speaks not just of "illiteracy" in the literal sense, but of "blind heart".
epilogue
Showbiz needs a cultural bottom line
Today's entertainment industry, although the Qinglang action has been continuing, it has not been able to prevent the exposure of negative news.
We blame the actors themselves, blame the fans for connivance, and we can also share the responsibility on the capital, but the result is always bad.
And more people are more concerned about whether the entertainment industry can take a better road.
We hope to see more and more artists really become actors, even if they can't be "homesick Li Bai", at least they won't become empty heads of internal entertainment "bastards".
It's time, it's time to wake up.
