In 1994, Zhang Yimou's film "Alive" turned out to be a success, at the Cannes Film Festival, Zhang Yimou won the Grand Jury Prize, and the actor Ge You won the cannes "Film Emperor" laurel, and this film also became the "highlight moment" in Zhang Yimou's directorial career, and has so far scored 9.3 points on Douban.
In addition to the male and female protagonists in the film, a number of supporting roles in the play have also become the object of heated discussion by the audience, especially Liu Tianchi, who plays the mute woman "Fengxia", without a single line, relies on body language to explain the character image, but it is not easy to play a girl with a tragic fate.
However, after performing "Alive", Liu Tianchi suffered a "major blow" here with Zhang Yimou.
Zhang Yimou said gently: On looks, you are not as good as Gong Li. There will be progress in performance, but it will not reach the height of Gong Li. It is better to be a teacher in the middle of the drama, and may be able to become a top performance instructor.
According to conventional deduction, if an ordinary person is commented on by a director, he will be discouraged and break the idea of acting early, but Liu Tianchi has since gone to another "counterattack road".
In the winter of 1972, Liu Tianchi was born in Changchun, Jilin Province.
In Liu Tianchi's memory, his favorite thing to do when he was a child was spring travel.
During the spring tour, the teacher will organize everyone to "dig for treasures" and hide small notes throughout the mountains, so that everyone can look for them, and after finding them, they can receive small prizes such as candies.
Liu Tianchi's happiest thing is to share the small note he found with his classmates and watch them go on stage to receive the award.
That's what her parents often teach her: to be a person, you must learn to share.
In 1992, Liu Tianchi was admitted to the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama. In his sophomore year, he was favored by Zhang Yimou and entered the "Alive" crew, starring in the role of the mute girl Fengxia, with a round apple face, which was not outstanding, but the first time he touched the screen, he left a deep impression on the audience.
It is also because the image is not beautiful enough, the performance dream was instantly "cut off" by Zhang Yimou.
In 1995, Liu Tianchi graduated from Chinese opera, and there were two roads in front of Liu Tianchi.
One is to go to Beijing Renyi to teach, which was Liu Tianchi's dream.
One is to study abroad.
Under zhang Yimou's "blow", Liu Tianchi fell into confusion and was also a little sad. In the end, he chose to go to Japan to study musical theater.
Three years later, Liu Tianchi returned from Japan and returned to teach Chinese opera.
However, after becoming a teacher, the heart that loves acting is still eager to try. Colleagues around you also said: You are a good actor, it is impossible to give up acting. When you encounter a good script, don't you feel itchy?
Just like a drunkard, when he encounters a famous wine, he can't help but feel itchy after quitting drinking for many years.
In 1998, Liu Tianchi walked into the crew of the TV series "The True Colors of Life" and got the script of the heroine for the first time in his life. After that, he went to star in the drama "On the Road", thinking about how to "escape from the middle drama".
However, once he walked into the classroom, he completely changed Liu Tianchi's thinking.
It was a day in 1998, Liu Tianchi walked into the rehearsal hall for the first time, and dozens of students sitting at the bottom stood up in unison.
"Hello teacher!" Loud voices echoed in every corner of the rehearsal hall.
Among the students in that class, there were many who later became famous in the show business circle, and the representatives of them were Deng Chao, Zhu Yuchen and so on.
Of course, those who were guided by Liu Tianchi and became famous became big names, far more than these, and later there were articles that became a first-line Hua Dan, Bai Baihe, Qiao Xin and so on.
In their eyes, Liu Tianchi is not only the class teacher, but also the same existence as his mother, and Qiao Xin directly calls Liu Tianchi "Chi Ma".
While becoming a teacher, Liu Tianchi also did not forget to sharpen his acting skills, and successively starred in film and television dramas such as "Black Hole", "Six Groups of Serious Cases 2", "My Internship Life", "Parental Love" and so on.
Especially in the acting skills in "Parental Love", it has been well received. After playing lao Ding's daughter-in-law in the play, after watching it, many viewers mistakenly believe that the director "invited" the mass actors from the countryside, who have the form of a god and are alive and free from a rural woman, and can not see the traces of performance at all.
The mentally ill mother who starred in "Serious Case Six Group 2" is also full of layers.
But most of Liu Tianchi's energy is still focused on teaching and guiding students. And what she is most proud of is that she has directed Zu Feng's performance.
In 2000, Zu Feng graduated from Nortel and stayed on to teach. Among the students who have been instructed, Yao Di and Ma Su have also been extremely popular, if Yao Di did not encounter the article, it should be infinite, but unfortunately because of the derailment, the career plummeted. If Ma Su had not mixed with Li Xiaolu and Jia Nailiang's "making hair gate", he would surely have a bright future.
However, there are no ifs.
When Zu Feng was in college, he was in the same class as Huang Xiaoming, Xiao Yanzi, Chen Kun, and Guo Xiaodong, or the secretary of the league branch in the class.
But after graduation, he did not become famous in the show business circle like other students, but became a teacher.
At a party, he met Liu Tianchi, who was a teacher in Chinese opera. Zu Feng, who had an introverted and shy personality, fell in love at first sight and sank.
Soak in the library together, roll the road together, practice "acting" together, and gradually develop into lovers.
Zu Feng wrote well and came in handy in writing love letters.
With the encouragement of Liu Tianchi, Zu Feng also began to seek transformation and began to embark on the road of actor. He has successively starred in many film and television dramas such as "Ten Faces Ambush", "Silent Witness", "Golden Wedding Storm" and so on.
When filming "The Hunting Ground", it was learned that it was Zu Feng who played the opponent's play, and Hu Ge took it without saying a word, and Zu Feng was also one of the few actors who lamented that his acting skills were not as good as Hu Ge.
In 2010, after a years-long love run, the two entered the palace of marriage. I took the photo in the morning and got married in the afternoon.
In 2011, Liu Tianchi met Zhang Yimou again.
This time, Liu Tianchi's identity is no longer an actor, but as a performance director into the crew of "Jinling Thirteen Chao".
From the shape to the performance of the actors, It is Liu Tianchi who is directed by Liu Tianchi.
Because the role is a wind and dust woman, most of the actors are very shy, can not let go, Liu Tianchi incarnated as the Republic of China mother Sang, before the start of filming, always have to roar a voice: girls, let's go up.
At that time, Ni Ni, who was new to the film world, had no acting experience at all, and it was also Liu Tianchi who guided her hand in hand, so she had a stunning performance on the screen later.
However, all this is little known.
As a person behind the scenes, too many shots are put on the actors, and very few are put into the background.
In this way, Liu Tianchi silently did the guidance work behind the scenes, and once he did it, it was seven or eight years.
It was not until 2017, in the variety show "The Birth of an Actor", that Liu Tianchi was widely known.
The style of being able to say and daring to say makes the audience refreshed. When directing Ouyang Nana, he bluntly said that Ouyang Nana's tears were fake and "acted".
When guiding Wang Junkai, in order to let Wang Junkai experience the experience of "unloading", Wang Junkai directly let Wang Junkai carry himself.
Under the guidance of Liu Tianchi, the effects presented by Ouyang Nana and Wang Junkai on the stage were refreshing. At that time, the audience exclaimed: This unknown teacher is really dedicated, and the guidance method is unique.
Acting is an art, and only by using your soul to convey another character can the audience experience your sincerity.
Liu Tianchi was on fire. Along with the fire, there was also her acting training class.
Many people come to visit, and many stars in the circle have also begun to find Liu Tianchi when they are starring in film and television dramas, and even pay a high price to ask her for guidance. The benefits have been great.
However, Liu Tianchi also has a "lost hand".
After Yang Ying and Huang Xiaoming came together, they did not eat Huang Xiaoming's resource "dividends" and became the darling of variety shows. Through Huang Xiaoming's "matchmaking", he also obtained a lot of film and television drama resources.
However, it is okay to be a "vase", but the acting skills have been criticized.
When filming "The Great Cause of Party Building" with Andy Lau, Andy Lau was "tortured" by Yang Ying's crying scene. Eye drops are needed to induce tears, which surprises Andy Lau, who has always been dedicated.
When it came to starring in "Lonely Fang Does Not Appreciate Itself" and "Entrepreneurial Era", perhaps in order to reverse the reputation, Liu Tianchi was specially invited to be a performance director, but the effect that could be presented was still unsatisfactory. Glaring, fake eating, cutting... All kinds of negative news followed.
Even Liu Tianchi was scolded along with him.
Finally, I had to sigh: the master led the door, and the practice was in the individual. It is not through the guidance of a good teacher that you can become a good actor.
After many years of thinking of Zhang Yimou's words, Liu Tianchi also sighed that Zhang Yimou's vision is indeed unique and knows her advantages. If you had put your mind on acting, you might not have achieved today.
At the same time as achieving oneself, it also achieves others. The ruler is longer, the inch is shorter. Can play their greatest advantages, in order to counterattack and become a winner in life.
