With the change of the times, the entertainment industry is also quietly changing. The traffic niche, who has a beautiful face and is sought after by tens of thousands of people, has gradually failed to win the favor of the audience.
People are no longer simply obsessed with idols with bright appearances, but pay more attention to the understanding and interpretation of drama characters by powerful actors. This also made a group of artists with solid acting skills gradually come to the front of the stage from behind the scenes.
The recently hit drama "County Party Committee Compound" is a work that brings together a number of powerful actors. Whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, every actor has gained a firm foothold in this industry and accumulated popularity with his acting skills.
This series not only has a story line close to reality, but also successfully touched the hearts of the audience through the delicate and nuanced performances of the actors, and achieved gratifying ratings.
At present, what people are eager for is no longer the traffic and eye-catching appearance, but the inner resonance of the actors. The audience hopes that the actor will devote himself to the role and interpret the inner world of the character with his own understanding, rather than staying in a superficial external performance.
It is only when the actors become the people in the drama that the audience will find a heartfelt shock in their acting skills.
Among the many outstanding actors, the audience was particularly impressed by the acting skills of Hu Ge and Huang Lei in "The Courtyard of the County Party Committee". They have many rivalry scenes in the play, and through the careful portrayal of the personalities of the two characters, the leadership image with different attitudes is vividly portrayed.
Hu Ge plays the role of Mei Xiaoge, the newly appointed secretary of the county party committee, in the play, a young talent who returns to his hometown to work after working hard in other places for many years. Although he is a new leader, he is approachable and thinks about the people in every way.
Secretary Mei is not afraid of red tape, and often goes to the grassroots to ask the people on the spot, and takes the initiative to help them solve practical difficulties. Even when he was in a meeting with his subordinates, in order to mobilize village cadres to improve their work, he would humbly ask for their opinions.
This shows the style of a leader who must have prestige but cannot stay away from the masses.
Through the subtle changes in his eyes and expressions, Hu Ge also controlled Mei Xiaoge's inner emotions very well. When confronted with political opponents, he listens cautiously; When you are with your lover, you will have a warm love in your eyes.
These rich details have successfully created a leadership image that is both shrewd and capable, but also humane.
And Lu Qingshan, the chairman of the county party committee played by Huang Lei, is a local veteran cadre-like leader. He knows the people of his hometown well, and he embodies the characteristics of honest and loyal style everywhere.
Chairman Lui is fair and handy in handling local affairs, which makes people feel that he is pragmatic and efficient. For example, when dealing with the problem of demolition, he calmly helped the residents resolve misunderstandings, reflecting his responsibility and responsibility to the people.
Huang Lei also controls the temperament changes of the characters very well. In the face of the residents who kept interjecting, he only needed a stern look to make the other party silent. This kind of fine management of eyes allowed Lu Qingshan to successfully demonstrate the majesty that a county party committee chairman should have.
The two have a rivalry scene of eating noodles at a breakfast restaurant, and through the different details of their meals, two political leaders with very different personalities are vividly portrayed.
Mei Xiaoge, who had just arrived, was taken by Lu Qingshan, who was familiar with local affairs, to a breakfast restaurant that had been around for many years to eat noodles. After serving, Lu Qingshan put two large spoonfuls of chili peppers into the bowl according to his Xi, and added a lot of vinegar to himself, showing that he is a local with a relatively heavy taste.
And Mei Xiaoge, who came from other places, obviously didn't eat spicy food, he was very measured and thoughtful to add some vinegar to Lu Qingshan first, and then added it for himself.
While eating noodles, the two discussed work matters, and their eating appearances naturally simulated the state of daily life, without deliberately restraining or exaggerating performances.
Mei Xiaoge ate more elegantly, and he could only see that he kept sending noodles to his mouth without making too much noise. And Lu Qingshan directly ate noodles, and from time to time sobbed and drank water because of eating chili peppers, which was very suitable for his taste.
When the two finished eating, Lu Qingshan took the initiative to pour the remaining soup in his bowl to Mei Xiaoge to express his welcome and gratitude to him for coming to work locally. But Mei Xiaoge refused with a smile, and said with a smile that she really couldn't eat such a spicy soup.
This small detail fully shows Lu Qingshan's warm and simple personality, and also highlights the difference in taste between the two.
Every gesture in the whole rivalry scene appropriately portrays the two characters, presenting their complex relationship vividly. The two actors' mastery of this "eating scene" can be described as the pinnacle, fully integrating themselves into the role, allowing the audience to see what superb acting skills are.
In strong contrast to Hu Ge and Huang Lei's wonderful acting skills, some actors who do not have enough acting skills often expose their acting skills in the scenes of eating, which directly leads to the audience's play.
For example, Ju Jingyi has a scene in "The Legend of Jianan" where she eats noodles while crying. She pretended to cry bitterly while holding a bowl of noodles, but just put a small section of noodles in her mouth and began to perform crying, the noodles were obviously not chewed, and the whole shot was very contrived and unnatural.
Another example is Shen Yue's eating scene in a certain drama, and her actions are unbelievable. She held chopsticks and vigorously flicked the empty bowl, making a "clanging" sound, trying to show the state of gobbling up.
But the audience immediately saw that this deliberately performed artificiality was completely out of the logic of the character.
In addition, the scene of Yang Yang eating apples is also a typical dramatic performance. Even if the apple is sweet, it will not be able to put the whole apple in your mouth when you bite into it, making a loud "click" sound, and it will also look like it is chewing with relish.
This kind of behavior directly treats the audience as fools, and the perception is very poor.
What's more, Meng Meiqi obviously didn't have any food in her mouth in the camera, and she deliberately put the empty chopsticks to her mouth, pretending to be chewing vigorously to make a contrived performance. This kind of performance technique directly destroys the logic and realism that the characters should have.
The poor performances of these actors directly caused the audience to lose interest and trust in the characters they played.
It can be said that the acting skills of an actor can be seen at a glance from the simplest eating scenes. A good actor, even if it is a mechanical eating action, can enrich the character through subtle changes in expression.
This allows the audience to be engrossed and forget about the passage of time even as they watch the actors eating on camera.
In contrast, those actors who are not confident in their acting skills and lack of skills often need to rely on external exaggerated performances to cover up the lack of acting skills. But this only makes the character's every move in the camera seem contrived and unnatural, and the result is the opposite, but it exposes the true nature of hypocrisy and makes the audience play immediately.
In fact, playing a role requires the actor to fully integrate and change himself in an all-round way from the outside to the inside, rather than just staying on the external appearance. Only when the actor fully shapes the inner world of the character through his own understanding will the character's outward behavior be revealed naturally and will not be deliberately performative.
What the audience needs today is not those traffic idols who only have superficial appearances, but powerful actors who can impress people with their acting skills. I hope that more and more excellent actors will infect the audience with a sincere attitude, so that the audience can find resonance in their interpretation.
The delicate and nuanced acting skills of Hu Ge and Huang Lei in "The Courtyard of the County Party Committee", as well as the solid and sophisticated production of the whole drama, are undoubtedly eye-catching, and they are rare domestic masterpieces in recent years.
In the context of the current era of entertainment information explosion, this kind of restrained and unpretentious acting skills are particularly valuable.
This also makes people look forward to the future of domestic film and television works. What we need is not just the visual shock on the pictures, but the inner touch of the actors through subtle facial expressions.
I hope that more and more powerful actors and directors can insist on impressing the audience with their professionalism and present more masterpieces with rich connotations and thought-provoking.
As long as you have a heart that respects the audience and loves performance, and continues to work hard to polish your acting skills, you will definitely be able to present high-quality works to the audience and let Chinese film and television culture go further.
Let us be full of confidence and look forward to the latecomers who will continue to innovate and surpass on this road and achieve a new leap in Chinese film and television.
In this day and age, we are all witnesses and movers. Let us continue to work hard to write a more brilliant chapter for Chinese film and television culture.
