Who said that being an actor is not a science? In Mango TV's hit "Infinite Transcendence Class", veteran actor Ye Tong has taken this knowledge to the extreme. As one of the mentors of the show, Ye Tong can be said to have done her best this time, and she personally arranged a seemingly simple but meaningful assessment link - "costume walking play".
It's such a small walking session, but many students play "virtual". Some students showed an aristocratic demeanor, while others seemed to be pretentious and exaggerated, and were directly complained by the audience. What's more, some students were simply stumped by this "simple" assessment, revealing their lack of confidence.
This "costume walking play" is undoubtedly a big test of the actors' ability to shape their roles. Who really has the confidence to control the role? Who is the one who follows the mess? Which students can really stand out? Let's wait and see!
At the recording site of this episode of the program, the tutor Ye Tong arranged a unique special training for the students - incarnated as an ancient nobleman, wearing a gorgeous robe, and learning the elegant manners of the princes and nobles of the past. At first glance, this task may seem simple, but for a qualified actor, it is a very difficult task. Because in order to control a role well, acting skills alone are far from enough, and it is also crucial to grasp the details of the role.
As a generation of powerful actors, Mr. Ye Tong is naturally well versed in this. In her opinion, an excellent actor should not only stay on the surface, but also reflect the inner charm of the character. Therefore, she attaches great importance to the performance of the students in this link, and regards it as a touchstone to test the level of the actors.
Shuttling through the past and present, and following the form, this may be a little unfamiliar to most people. But for this group of young actors with dreams, it is a familiar lesson. They know that only by thoroughly integrating into the characters can the audience be truly convinced. Therefore, under the guidance of the instructor, the students worked hard to master the walking manners of the ancient nobles.
Some people are calm and relaxed, and their pace is calm and atmospheric; Some people are beautiful and delicious, and they are graceful and graceful like lotuses step by step; There are also people who pretend to be exaggerated and pretentious. But either way, this part has become an excellent testing ground for their acting skills.
Through this ingenious assessment, Mr. Ye Tong hopes that the students can make a breakthrough in the details of the role, and lay the foundation for becoming an excellent actor in the future. And for the audience, it is also a great opportunity to get a first-hand look at the hard work behind the scenes.
First of all, let's take stock of the wonderful performances of Gao Haining and Wang Ziwei. In this link of testing temperament and demeanor, Gao Haining can be said to be at ease. His steps were steady, his demeanor was solemn, and he completely showed the majesty and arrogance of a nobleman. It's like a boy and brother who came out of an ancient painting, and even the mentor Ye Tong was amazed.
As for Wang Ziwei, this little girl shows an innocent and simple aristocratic demeanor. Her steps are light and agile, and her demeanor is natural and generous, just like a young lady who came out of the ancient boudoir. Looking at her elegant and generous demeanor, coupled with her bright eyes and kind look, it is really like a fairyland.
The two of them played extraordinarily in this link, and they were charming, which attracted applause from the audience. Sure enough, with the unanimous approval of the mentor group, Gao Haining and Wang Ziwei finally won the important roles of the heroine and supporting role in the costume drama "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" respectively.
Well, speaking of the costume walking link in this issue, in addition to the wonderful performances of Gao Haining and Wang Ziwei, Yan Xujia, a young man, has also earned enough eyeballs!
Everyone knows that the male protagonist in costume dramas is not covered, he must have a solid basic foundation, and he must have a calm and introverted temperament, so as to properly interpret the demeanor and elegance of the sons and daughters of the family. Looking at Yan Xujia's performance at the scene, I was deeply touched.
As soon as this kid came out, the whole person exuded a taste of nobility and elegance, his steps were calm and powerful, and his expression was calm and magnificent, which completely showed the humility and courtesy of a child of a family. Seeing this, the mentors couldn't help but nod their heads in praise.
What's even more powerful is that Yan Xujia's gestures all reveal a kind of old-fashioned and dignified bearing. Every movement and every look in his eyes just interprets the reserved and indifferent of the ancient aristocracy. Looking at his fluttering figure, it is almost like a figure from an ancient painting.
Sure enough, Yan Xujia's outstanding performance was finally unanimously recognized by the mentor group. At the scene, he successfully won the important role of the actor in the costume drama "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves". This is undoubtedly a great affirmation and encouragement for a young actor.
Judging from Yan Xujia's performance, his control of costume roles is quite in place. I believe that in the next filming process, he will be able to further exert his strength and inject new vitality into this drama. I look forward to his wonderful performance in this drama, bringing visual and spiritual shock to the audience!
Although some people performed well, it is inevitable that some students will perform mediocre or even ridiculous in this link.
Let's take Ji Lingchen, a kid, for example, he can be said to have made every appearance in the link of walking in ancient costumes. Originally, this aristocratic demeanor should be calm and atmospheric, but he just tried too hard to render it, and the whole person was contrived to the extreme.
Oh, you all saw it, didn't you? His exaggerated demeanor, and his swaying steps, seemed like he was drinking soy sauce when he was high. Many viewers at the scene watched Du Zhile and complained that he was simply "over-the-top performance".
But then again, Ji Lingchen's "over-interpretation" approach has won him a lot of attention in the show. You think, although his performance is very different, at least people remember him as a person. In the entertainment industry, as long as you are distinctive, it is N times stronger than obscurity.
From this point of view, Ji Lingchen's "over-the-top" performance is not a kind of gimmick marketing. After all, through this kind of contrived exaggeration, at least the audience has an impression of him, and there is still a chance to repackage it in the future.
But then again, as an actor, you still have to master the proportions. If you are too pretentious, you will lose the intrinsic charm of the character, which will be counterproductive. I hope that Ji Lingchen can learn a lesson from this experience, grasp the balance in future performances, and show the charm of the role in a more restrained way.
