1. The art world and the academic forest, a hundred years of passing on the torch!
In the glorious land of China, the relationship between the art world and the academy can be traced back to the distant past. Since ancient times, there has been a group of extraordinary figures, who are not only eye-catching actors, but also tireless teachers, nourishing the hearts of students like spring breeze and rain.
In today's entertainment industry, there are also many such "amphibious stars", like twinkling stars, illuminating our sight.
Among them are film and television superstars who are popular all over the world, and have countless enthusiastic fans; There are also heroes behind the scenes, who do their best for the pursuit of art. However, no matter how glorious the halo is, they always stick to the original intention of education - preaching, teaching, and solving doubts, and their deep understanding and perception of performing arts are deeply imprinted in the hearts of every student.
This kind of unswerving belief is precisely the precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation that has been passed down from generation to generation after a century of vicissitudes. In the bustling and noisy entertainment industry, there are always some people who choose not to follow the crowd, but to persistently pass on their experience and wisdom to the younger generation selflessly.
They interpreted the noble meaning of the word "teacher" with practical actions, and led the students step into the palace of art with endless patience and sincerity.
Yes, in this colorful world, there is still a clear spring: that is the perfect integration of the art world and the academic forest, igniting the passion of the stage with the flame of knowledge.
This fragrance is rich and timeless.
2. Teaching and educating people, remarkable achievements!
When it comes to the few "mentor" figures in the entertainment industry, Huang Lei is undoubtedly one of the best. The teaching career of this powerful actor has kicked off a magnificent prelude since he was young.
At the age of 25, Huang Lei had just obtained a master's degree. Originally, he could easily enter the entertainment industry and show his talents, but he chose another challenging path - picked up the whip and began decades of hard work in the Central Academy of Drama, a higher education institution.
Standing on the podium, Huang Lei enthusiastically shared his unique insights on performing arts. At times, he was as strict and sharp as a "wise man", which was still fresh in the memory of students, and he was often awe-inspiring because he "pretended to be angry".
However, more often than not, Huang Lei guides students to explore their inner world in a gentle, humorous and seductive way, inspiring their endless love for stage performances.
It is with this unique teaching wisdom and strict and loving education method that Mr. Huang Lei has been at the helm of the Central Academy of Drama for several years and has created countless amazing and excellent performing arts works.
The names of stars such as Haiqing and Yao Chen have long been household names, and the well-known actors such as Du Chun and Wen Zhengrong, as well as his biological daughter and current wife Sun Li, are all his disciples, and their figures are all in all corners of the entertainment industry.
However, it was not until 2018 that the "patriarch" who taught and educated people chose to step down voluntarily and bid farewell to the podium. However, his profound impact on his alma mater has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of generations of students and has become an eternal memory.
Whenever we look back on Mr. Huang Lei's teaching career, we are always moved by his firm teaching philosophy.
3. Etiquette details, pouring ingenuity into famous works
Between the two identities of actor and teacher, Zhang Xiaolong is undoubtedly one of the more prominent representatives of the "teacher image". With his professional, rigorous and meticulous work attitude, the physical teacher of the Central Academy of Drama has cultivated batches of outstanding actor students in the film and television industry.
In 2011, a shocking TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" triggered a nationwide craze for drama chasing, and Mr. Zhang Xiaolong's contribution was indispensable. In this drama, he not only played the role of Imperial Physician Wen with an honest and selfless image, but also personally designed the salute actions of Huan Huan and other characters, the most eye-catching of which is the beautiful "Amazing Dance".
As a teacher, Mr. Zhang Xiaolong's requirements for details can be called demanding. Before filming, he delves into the character's identity, accurately grasps the proportions of each action, and then discusses the storyline with the entire cast.
Even treating her niece Zhang Jianing impressed her by skipping his class once - since then, the whole class has become more serious and obedient.
It is with this meticulous professionalism and the heart of a craftsman who strives for perfection that Mr. Zhang Xiaolong has shown himself like a fish in water and is comfortable in his film and television works.
In addition to "The Legend of Zhen Huan", he also participated in the arrangement of many well-known works, and personally cultivated a group of outstanding actors such as Chen Xiao, Zhang Han, Lan Yingying and so on.
Whether in the classroom or under the camera, Mr. Zhang Xiaolong always adheres to a rigorous and meticulous work style, and integrates ingenuity into the subtleties of each work.
Such outstanding professionalism is an important reason why he has won unanimous praise from the industry and the audience!
Fourth, after the vicissitudes of life, we can finally embrace the true meaning of life
In the career of Yihai, some people have the ambition of teaching and educating people at the initial stage, such as Chen Hao and Yu Feihong; And some people can return to their original intentions and bloom into dazzling teachers after a long period of thinking and choice, such as Ren Zhong and Liu Tianchi.
Recalling Chen Hao, she is still a "heartthrob" in the minds of the audience recently. As a generation of film and television superstars, her intellectual and elegant charm has long been deeply imprinted in people's memories. Surprisingly, just when her acting career was in full swing, she actually met a rich boyfriend, and after secretly getting married, she gradually faded out of sight and stayed away from the stage of the entertainment industry.
Today's Chen Hao, wearing black-framed glasses, shows a gentle, intellectual, kind and respectable temperament, which is in stark contrast to the image of the heartthrob in the past. Some students have listened to her lectures and praised her teaching style when they recall it.
Similar to Chen Hao, Yu Feihong also briefly experienced the joys and hardships of the teaching profession. Soon after graduating from Beijing Film Academy, she was invited to serve as the head teacher of the 93-level acting department, and carefully cultivated Xu Jinglei, Liu Lin, Jia Jingwen and other famous star students in the future.
However, Yu Feihong felt that his "knowledge is still shallow", so he resolutely resigned from his position and chose to go abroad for further study. Today, she and her students have achieved remarkable results in the entertainment industry.
As for Ren Zhong and Liu Tianchi, their life trajectories are full of twists and turns. Ren Zhong was questioned by the director because of his appearance, so he decided to devote himself to the education of the Northern Dance Musical Performance Department.
It wasn't until six years later that director Zhao Baogang discovered his potential and helped him return to the acting industry.
Liu Tianchi's experience is quite similar. Director Zhang Yimou once thought that she was not suitable for a career as an actress, so she turned to the education career of the Central Academy of Drama.
However, many years later, director Zhang Yimou invited her to participate in the filming of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" again and entrusted her with the position of physical director.
The process of the two artists transforming from actors to teachers, and then returning from teachers to actors, can be called a model of "late bloomers".
Whether it is a practitioner who pursues his dreams like Chen Hao who has made remarkable achievements in the entertainment industry, or a professor who returns to the basics like Yu Feihong, they all vividly show their firm obsession and deep love for the noble mission of education.
It is precisely because of this perseverance that they have been able to achieve today's dazzling results in their respective fields of expertise.
Let's take Liu Tianchi, a famous performance tutor of Chinese opera, as an example of a star coach who has been teaching at the school for many years, it is her selfless dedication and hard work that has cultivated many well-known acting superstars such as Deng Chao, Tang Yan, Yang Shuo, Song Yi and so on.
Whenever these star students recall the passionate study years spent under Liu Tianchi, they are all filled with irrepressible excitement.
Someone once raised a sharp question to Liu Tianchi in a live webcast: "You don't have too many works yourself, why can you be so active in this industry?" Faced with this question, Liu Tianchi just smiled faintly, and then replied calmly: "Because I am a teacher."
From this simple conversation, we can deeply feel Liu Tianchi's great pride and firm belief in his identity as a teacher.
After Liu Tianchi, another highly respected "star godfather" level figure is Zhang Songwen. During his tenure at the Beijing Film Academy, he guided the basic training of many first-line stars such as Zhong Hanliang and Lin Chiling.
Now, his role as "Gao Qiqiang" in the hit drama "Hurricane" has won a flood of praise from the audience, which undoubtedly proves Zhang Songwen's far-reaching influence on students.
In addition to performance instruction, some teachers pay more attention to the cultivation of etiquette and physical fitness. Ren Zhong is one of the best. This teacher, who has taught at the Beijing Dance Academy for six years, has not only trained well-known actors such as Lu Yi, Huang Xuan, Jing Tian, etc., but also the meticulous movement design he has shown in his later film and television works, all of which reflect his exquisite skills and unique teaching philosophy.
People have expressed their sincere appreciation for these teachers. Some students even affectionately refer to them as "Master" or "Old Fox" as a way to show their deep respect for their teachers. Looking back on that period of hopeful study, every student will feel a lot of emotion, they know that a person's success is inseparable from the careful guidance of their teachers; In the same way, the reputation of an excellent teacher is inseparable from the support and dissemination of students.
It is precisely because of the guidance and cultivation of those teachers with profound teaching power and influence who teach and are paternalistic that the long history of the Chinese nation and the century-old tradition of "enlightenment" can be carried forward.
Batches of outstanding "pearl" students have grown up under their careful care, and they are all over the art world.
When we look back on today's brilliant achievements, these stars are deeply grateful to their mentors, because they know that it is under the care and careful craftsmanship of their mentors that they can shine like "pearls in the palm of their hands" and shine today's bright light.
Sixth, the same path, everyone admires
Whether they have been committed to the cause of education since childhood, or have changed careers to engage in the noble cause of teaching and educating people, these "two-faced" teachers have vividly interpreted their firm belief and endless love for education with their personal experience.
Some of them have served in their alma mater for many years and have established a deep teacher-student friendship with their students. Some have experienced ups and downs on the road of acting, and finally returned to their original intentions; Others resolutely chose the path of teaching and educating people at the peak of their careers.
However, no matter how different their life trajectories, they have won the heartfelt respect of students, audiences, and society as a whole. As actors, they have conquered countless audiences with their superb acting skills; As teachers, they have nurtured generations of outstanding students with their sincere teachings.
They have demonstrated the precious value of this "dual identity" with their practical actions.
