A qualified actor should be able to create any role, rather than positioning himself as a certain type, just take the image role of "rural people" as an example, this is not something that anyone can play, and it is still a test of acting skills.
After Haiqing received the script of "Hidden in the Dust", in order to play the role of "peasant woman" well, he went to the rural areas of the great northwest, lived with local farmers, followed them to work in the fields, and carefully observed and imitated the disabled people walking, and worked hard for this role for several months.
After the movie was released, all the audience was dumbfounded, and Haiqing's vivid image of a "peasant woman" showed this character to the fullest.
This is a matter of course for actors, but it is such a simple thing, but many young actors can't do it, so Haiqing said that after acting in "Hidden in the Dust", he felt that he was several years older, which was "sacrifice" for the role.
and Liu Lin, when she participated in "Parents' Love", she was the image of a peasant woman.
She was originally quite young and beautiful, but she played a rural woman very vividly, and even the details could be given full marks.
In fact, Liu Lin was only 40 years old when she acted in this drama, and other actresses might mind, but Liu Lin did not complain at all, and her performance exceeded the director's expectations.
An actress can subvert her own image, even if she is ugly, she doesn't care, if she does this, she is a qualified actor.
Compared with actresses, it seems to be much easier for male actors to play the role of "rural people", but this is not the case, the tests faced by male actors are no less than those of female actors, and even more difficult.
Take Leung Ka-fai's "My Career as a Teacher" in 2007, which can be called textbook-level acting.
Putting down the aura of a superstar in the Hong Kong film industry, wearing a loose white shirt, conspicuous white hair on his head, and old and dark skin, every detail makes Leung Ka-fai look like a rural person.
The most admirable thing is that when Leung Jiahui drove a walk-behind tractor, he was skilled in driving, as if he was an old driver with no less than ten years of driving experience.
When Leung Ka-fai stood on the podium, his thoughts instantly returned to his childhood, as if we were a certain classmate in the classroom, and the one standing on the stage was the teacher who worked tirelessly back then.
explosive acting skills, meticulous character portrayal, this is the real "actor".
Leung Ka-fai's ability to create characters is indeed very strong, and after watching each of his movies, the audience has a deep impression of the roles he has played.
I am afraid that this kind of skill will be difficult to achieve without ten or twenty years.
is also an actor in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Andy Lau's role as a "rural person" is also a model. In the movie "Orphaned", he almost changed as a different person.
He was dressed in dirty and tattered clothes, his beard was unkempt, his face was emaciated, and even his eyes were full of the exhaustion and fatigue of middle-aged migrant workers.
Especially the scene of squatting on the ground and eating noodles, it is simply a living farmer.
Although Andy Lau is 60 years old, most of the characters he has played in the past are glamorous characters, which are very different from the images in the movie.
In order to achieve the effect, he also deliberately basked in the sun for two months, let the ultraviolet rays shine on his face, and then rubbed the skin, so in the film, he could see an almost "disfigured" character.
It's hard to imagine that a big coffee like Andy Lau can sacrifice his role to this point.
In fact, this is the reason why everyone likes Andy Lau, dedicated, down-to-earth, and love every role with their lives, this is a really good actor.
I think that if I wear a little tattered clothes and get some mud on my body, I am a rural person, but in fact, to play this role well, it takes great effort and sacrifice behind it.
