From ancient times to the present, the most disgusting and hated thing is the word "death", in the face of the loss of loved ones, in the face of the departure of the person we like, we have always been unacceptable.
Recently, there was news from the media that Mr. Shi Weijian, a national first-class actor in the mainland, passed away yesterday morning.
Shi Weijian has spent his whole life interpreting what an "actor" is, he has loved watching dramas since he was young, and he is also very talented in acting.
At the age of 15, he stood out from the "thousands of troops" and became one of the students of the actor training hall of the Shanghai Renyi Theater at that time, and began to learn formal acting at that time.
After two years of serious study, Shi Weijian also officially graduated, he first responded to the call to go to the front line to perform dramas for the soldiers, and then at the age of 21 was transferred to the Beijing Central Experimental Institute.
As soon as he was transferred to the Beijing Central Experimental Institute, he got the first opportunity to act, although it was only the most basic mass role, he still had a line.
But during the rehearsal, he seemed very nervous, and he almost tripped over the stairs when he went up the stairs, so that he couldn't remember the only line, which made him very frustrated.
After coming off the stage, the director also comforted him and taught him some skills, saying that you can practice walking first, and when you can walk smoothly with your eyes closed, you won't make mistakes.
The young Shi Weijian listened carefully to this sentence and practiced hard during the rehearsal, and after the drama performance, the director also praised him, which made him very excited.
From an extras with only one line, Shi Weijian has since practiced the real kung fu of acting, and when he played the male protagonist in "One Servant and Two Masters", he quickly memorized the lines.
And the body movements are also practiced very standardly, but what people didn't expect was that he was so well prepared, but the director said that he only had physical and no inner activities.
After that, he carefully studied the script, pondered the heart of the character from it, and successfully played the role "alive" through his unremitting efforts and with the help of the director and other actors.
After the performance, Shi Weijian also learned the lesson of this time, and in the rehearsal of "Peach Blossom Fan" later, he began to memorize lines early to study the script and analyze the inner activities of the characters.
But after seeing it, the director said that this time the character's external body expression lacked tension, and last time it was focused on the "appearance" and the lack of "inside", but this time it was directly reversed, which made Shi Weijian fall into contemplation.
He understood that he had gone to the extreme, and if he wanted to solve it, he still needed to keep learning, and Shi Weijian learned from scratch, whether it was the study of the script or the analysis of the characters.
While researching on his own, he humbly consulted others, and finally he created a character who "cultivates both inside and outside" and "has both gods and forms" on the stage.
Later, when talking about the success of "Peach Blossom Fan", he said that as an actor, he must not only have perfect external forms and movements, but also pay attention to the hearts of internal characters, and if only one of the two is far from enough.
Only when the two are combined and complement each other, the characters created will have both god and form, and Shi Weijian has won unanimous praise from everyone for his superb acting skills on the stage.
After that, he didn't dare to slack off, he was polishing himself every day, and later after a stage play, he was favored by the assistant director in charge of the casting of "Bear Track".
felt that he would be able to play the role of the leading actor with his acting skills, but was politely rejected by Shi Weijian, the assistant director thought: Since he can play the leading role on the stage, why is he reluctant to play the leading role on the screen?
It turned out that at that time, his family was criticized for historical reasons, and in the end, the two who were unwilling to be humiliated committed suicide by jumping into the river together, so he couldn't be on the screen.
After learning the ins and outs of the matter, the assistant director still felt that Shi Weijian was the most suitable actor, and finally decided to fight for him to get a chance.
Later, the assistant director ran around, wrote letters to relevant departments, and found various leaders through relationships, and with all these unremitting efforts, the documents finally came down.
The assistant director finally persuaded the leaders, and the male lead of "Bear Traces" was also completely decided, and the assistant director who learned the news also hurriedly went to the theater to finalize the matter of borrowing Shi Weijian.
At the same time, he went to see Shi Weijian, and after the assistant director saw him, he could see his nervousness and anxiety at a glance, but after telling the final result of the matter, Shi Weijian also cried tears of joy.
After the release of the film, this movie, which tells the story of the mainland police's battle of wits and courage in the arrest of spies, was also praised by many audiences, and because of this movie, Deshi Weijian was favored by another director.
This also led to the later "Legend of Tianyun Mountain", which was also loved by many audiences after its release, and Shi Weijian, who played the male protagonist in it, was once again well-known to the public.
Later, Shi Weijian served as the president of the China Youth Art Academy, and during his tenure as president, the word "actor" on his business card always preceded the word "dean".
When asked later, Shi Weijian also said that the dean is only for a period of time, but the actor is a lifelong thing, so he did not have any loss after retiring.
From a little-known mass role, from the drama stage to the film and television screen, he has experienced many ups and downs along the way, and has also brought many classic roles to everyone.
As he often said, an actor should always be curious, because there is always something new to learn, and there is always something new to touch.
Whether you are playing the protagonist, a supporting role or a villain, no matter how many scenes you have, you must play them seriously and ponder the role, there will always be only small actors, no small roles.
He has been interpreting the word "actor" all his life, I wish Shi Weijian all the way, and thank him for his contributions to the Chinese film industry.
