1. Memory reappearance: Senior director Feng Xiaogang fondly recalled an actress's acting journey with some regret
Director Feng Xiaogang closed his eyes firmly and calmly, and Gu Wen's deep face was full of endless helplessness and regret. He seems to have traveled to a certain crew a few years ago, and is silently watching the whole process of how a hot actress gradually goes to the trough of her career.
"Her acting skills are amazing, but she's always too deliberate to really impress the audience, let alone win an award!" Director Feng said with emotion, his tone full of deep disappointment.
He seemed to be reminiscing about a heart-wrenching past.
The acting skills of the actress back then were indeed excellent, and her superb performance in a movie won high praise from Director Feng. However, who could have predicted that she would later go astray and fall into an illusory star mentality, which eventually led to a failed ending.
Feng Xiaogang's expression was a little melancholy, and his gaze seemed to have traveled through the long river of time, projecting to the starting point of that amazing past...
2. Past glory: The actress showed extraordinary acting skills in a certain film and was praised by the director
Back in 2018, the actress's excellent acting skills in a movie made Feng Xiaogang can't help but praise from the bottom of his heart. When filming the tense climax of a certain plot, she accurately grasped the emotions of the characters, and perfectly presented the inner world of an urban woman who has experienced vicissitudes to the audience.
Feng Xiaogang still remembers that scene clearly: she quietly shed two lines of tears in front of the camera, her eyes were full of suppressed grief, as if it was the character itself with a bumpy fate, which made people moved.
"Her acting skills are so superb!" At that time, Director Feng was full of praise.
Everyone has high hopes for this new star, expecting her to shine in the film industry. However, no one could have imagined that it would not be long before everything would go in a very different direction.
3. Industry reflection: The director made an in-depth analysis of the current situation of the film and television industry and the selection system, and put forward criticism and reform suggestions
However, before continuing to reminisce about the actress's career, Feng Xiaogang knows that her moments of glory are not accidental. In fact, there are many hidden dangers and problems in the current environment and casting system of the film and television industry.
"In the process of selecting roles, many directors only focus on the appearance and age of the actors, but ignore their potential acting skills and professional qualities." Feng Xiaogang expressed his opinion frankly, "In my opinion, what really matters is whether this person has top-level talent, and as for appearance, it can only be regarded as a secondary consideration."
He nodded in agreement, with a righteous and awe-inspiring gesture: "As we all know, the core value of a real actor is to touch the audience's heart with sincere acting skills, rather than relying on gorgeous packaging and characters to attract attention."
At the same time, Director Feng also severely criticized the blind pursuit of the so-called "traffic niches" by many production companies and directors. "This is undoubtedly an opportunistic and counterintuitive casting strategy, which will only lead to some people 'pretending' to deceive the audience, and in the end, no one will benefit from it.
"Only by truly building a sound casting standard and mechanism can the film and television industry develop sustainably and cultivate more outstanding actors." He emphasized earnestly, "Otherwise, sooner or later, it will be dominated by 'pseudo-actors', and it will be an irreparable loss."
From Director Feng's passionate words, it is not difficult for us to feel his ardent expectations for the future direction of the film and television industry.
Fourth, the beginning of ambition: However, the actress then began to be pretentious, over-pursuing the image of a star, and deviating from the essence of art.
However, just as the audience's and director's expectations for her continued to rise, the actress who was originally extraordinarily powerful suddenly went astray. She began to be overly pretentious, trying to win popularity and attention by "selling cuteness".
"At first, she only occasionally showed her childish and cute side." Feng Xiaogang frowned and recalled, "But as time went on, this kind of pretentious behavior became more and more serious and difficult to control. "
His tone was full of helplessness and sarcasm: "The moment the camera turned on, she began to swing wildly with her body language, full of deliberate 'girly' shapes. What's even more absurd is that in order to cater to today's aesthetic trends, she even frequently falsely reported her height to more than 170 centimeters in order to create a more 'slender and slender' image.
Director Feng mocked mercilessly: "However, as we all know, she is actually over thirty years old, and such an act is really ridiculous. "
The most deplorable fact is that the female actor, while striving for a beautiful appearance, is increasingly indifferent to the basic professional ethics and ethics that an actor should have.
She was frequently late for no reason during the filming process, and her attitude towards work was casual and perfunctory, and even the staff around her were arrogant and arrogant, "Did you see it?" Director Feng's face was full of disappointment and helplessness, and he shook his head again and again, "She has completely fallen into the distorted thinking mode unique to 'stars', mistakenly thinking that as long as she has outstanding looks and cuteness, she can win success, completely ignoring her acting skills and the quality of her works" From this series of changes, it is not difficult to find the heroine's deep ambition, excessive pursuit of vanity and gorgeous packaging, thus deviating from the most essential artistic pursuit of an actor.
