The cat's outlook on life | Original debut
An actor who relies on traffic fire is never a good actor.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="7">PART 1</h1>
Everyone should be very familiar with Li Yunlong, played by Li Youbin in "Bright Sword".
Some time ago, the old drama bone Li Youbin expressed his views on the current situation of the entertainment industry in an interview, he admitted that he was only an actor and would not participate in entertainment programs such as variety shows, because the variety show was to pursue profits, and actors needed to carry a clear judgment of themselves and be alone.
As soon as this word came out, it can be described as a sharp point, netizens have expressed their agreement, in Li Youbin's view, as an actor, what is needed is not exposure and traffic, but meaningful works, and creating characters in the work is the most fundamental, simple and pure.
Although there is no name to criticize some actors, but relying on traffic to get a high position, inability to have no works, and who also like to make money on variety shows, Hua Cat feels that everyone should know it.
Some young actors hope to rely on variety shows to get more exposure, so as to get more performance opportunities, which is understandable, and some actors hope to rely on variety shows to set up people and attract more fans, but some actors participate in variety shows just to make money, which is meaningless at all, and even attracts disgust.
Cut-out artist Yang Ying once put up enough shelves in a variety show "Strange Life" and single-handedly lowered the grade of the entire program.
In the show, Yang Ying and Aya will complete his final stage of riding with 72-year-old cyclist Xu Yukun.
The first day was very smooth, everyone was in a happy mood, Yang Ying also revealed her heart, like a self-reliant female fighter who had been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years.
At night, Xu Yukun slept outdoors in a tent, Yang Ying and Aya stayed in a hotel, and there was nothing to do with each other all night, but unexpectedly at nine o'clock the next morning, Yang Ying could not get up, because of the hurry, old Xu urged fruitless and then left first.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ying actually blamed Lao Xu for not waiting for her, you can't get up yourself, and blame others for not waiting for you, don't you know the importance of punctuality when you come out to work at the age of 15?
Then Yang Ying and Aya drove to catch up with Lao Xu, but they did not expect that Yang Ying could not ride the car, because her great aunt came.
Yes, in this star reality show that requires a long-distance ride, Yang Ying can't ride a car because she came to her aunt, she and her team did not seriously consider the emergency plan of this show, or they only wanted to participate in the show to make money, and they didn't care at all whether she could complete the ride.
So the pampered Yang Ying hitchhiked, Aya and Lao Xu rode, is this a film Yang Ying travel or Yang Ying riding?
On the third day, Yang Ying and Aya hitchhike, Old Xu rode, to spend the cat said, it is better to drive them directly to the finish line, this shot is really meaningless.
At night, Lao Xu said that everyone should sleep in the tent, but Yang Ying refused, feeling somewhat embarrassed by his own golden body.
Old Xu also bitterly advised Yang Ying, as for the audience, of course, they will also feel that since you participated in the outdoor variety show, you didn't do anything, isn't this a lonely act?
In the end, Yang Ying compromised extremely reluctantly, and lamented that it was a wilderness survival program.
Is the threshold for celebrities to participate in variety shows so low now? Do you think going out to play in a car and taking a few shots is a variety show? Is it okay to lie down and say a few words to collect the appearance fee?
Others participate in variety shows or physical competitions, or talent shows, or intellectual duels, what kind of thing is your variety show?
In the end, not only Aya and Lao Xu couldn't stand it, but even the general director couldn't help it.
From the show, you can only see that she is spoiled, afraid of difficulties, lack of team spirit, such a person can become a qualified actor? Can she bear hardships and work hard in filming?
Therefore, her acting skills have been criticized by people is also expected, filming has no sense of truth, will only stare and open her mouth, use stand-ins, and even cut pictures to shoot scenes.
There are many traffic-only actors like Yang Ying, who don't care about acting skills and works, because as long as their traffic influence is large enough, they can be praised for their first-class acting skills in the blink of an eye in the play.
They act in dramas, take on bad scripts, participate in meaningless variety shows, and go to great lengths to buy hot searches, suck up traffic, and make lists and control comments, they only need to see real money and silver flowing into their pockets, the cultivation of what actors, and the dedication of literary and artistic workers.
How long have we not seen a good drama that shocks people's hearts? The same shoddy costume crossing drama, stiff and stereotyped action dialogue, Korean semi-permanent template makeup.
It is precisely because of their existence that China's excellent film and television works are getting fewer and fewer, and the grade is getting lower and lower, not so much that they are actors, but rather that they are the flow products spawned by capital.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="249">PART 2</h1>
Can you imagine how outrageous the actors are now?
Since the "Clear Action", the entertainment industry has really stopped a lot, not only to rectify the bad star Internet celebrities, but also to those plastic actors who touch the fish in muddy waters.
Chen Daoming, chairman of the China Filmmakers Association, said: "They are not in the literary and artistic circles, they are the traffic circles, they are plastic actors who are packaged and hyped up. ”
Perhaps many people do not realize that the real actors are literary and artistic workers, and like the people we work for, their job is to perform works, and those traffic stars we commonly use are not called actors at all.
These so-called stars, flashy, lack of quality, performances without soul and vitality, but their appearance rate is extremely high, high popularity accompanied by high income, which is really puzzling.
Like Yang Ying, who played Bai Wanting in "Lonely Fang Doesn't Appreciate Herself", and she actually directly relied on cutout acting, which can be described as the founding father of cut-out filming, directly allowing Chinese film and television technology to step into a new era.
Her acting skills are even more difficult to say, the joys and sorrows are all eyes, there is no delicacy to speak of, and the photographer's big brother is more dedicated than her.
As an actor, memorizing lines is the basic skill, once a young artist asked Wang Jinsong, is it necessary to memorize the lines in preparation for the play? Wang Jinsong was angry and said: "The back line is the gun that the actor went to the battlefield, can you tell me that you didn't take a gun when you got to the trench?" ”
It is precisely with these "actors" who do not memorize lines that some people have created "digital lines", shouting "1234567" when filming, and then dubbing in later lines, it is difficult to imagine that when the actor plays a role that is out of control and crying, but the mouth is shouting 12345, it is ridiculous.
Zheng Jiaying was in the interview, complaining that the actor who played with him forgot to read the numbers, and he could not take the next line at all.
Duan Yihong also said in the show that he had met a "digital line actor", and others were stupid on the spot.
When did an actor memorize lines become something that needs to be praised? When did stiff and awkward acting become mainstream? When can you even shoot a scene without being on location? When do you even need to use a stand-in to shoot when you fall into the water?
If you want to rely on traffic stars to get ratings, there is nothing wrong with it, who is not filming for money? But this money also has to earn a bottom line, for the sake of traffic, give up polishing the quality of the work, a 40-episode TV series, a week to rush out, such a work really meaningful?
Take the more popular costume drama now, each actor's style is like a uniform customization on the assembly line, no features or even some scrawled hairstyles, eyeliner mascara with Korean eyebrows, a thick layer of putty bottom makeup of the net red melon face, no classical beauty to speak of.
The actor's every move is also frivolous, stiff and greasy, where there is also the dignified elegance of the court woman.
There is also the actor's shape is also difficult to say, when the beard can be dressed more brightly than the concubine, I don't know if I thought it was playing a colorful gourd baby.
There is also this kind of color saturation so high that people are afraid of clothing, and at a glance, I still think that people in the Warring States period have traveled through time and space, and they can wear it back to online shopping.
Looking back at Yang Guifei in "Emperor Tang Ming", it is as if she came out of the painting, which cannot be said to be unrelated, but can only be said to be exactly the same.
Liu Xiaoqing starred in "Wu Mei Niang", dressed in golden jade, graceful and luxurious, showing the temperament of the mother's world.
What about costume dramas today?
There are also actors who use lipstick, and they can't find this kind of look through history books.
Not only is the actor's style, the plot is very different from history, not so much a film and television drama, but rather a nonsense network drama, as a meal drama to see to pass the time.
Even if the plot is outrageous, basic historical common sense should always be there, right? In this kind of Qing Dynasty drama, the heroine wears bright yellow clothes in front of the emperor, and the emperor Amma calls out to the good guy when he sees it.
The actors and the script are not good, even if it is not good, this kind of drama that is full of staff in the camera can be described as the highest realm of perfunctory.
I remembered what Teacher Li Chengru said: "Like a fish in the throat, like a needle felt, like a man piercing the back." ”
When film and television creation becomes industrialized, modeled, standardized, and becomes a work on the assembly line, actors no longer delve into roles, directors no longer care about scripts, stylists do thankless work, and post-personnel are more casually adjusted.
Flower Cat feels that to a certain extent, film and television have lost a certain content value, and now they have become more commercial, and the traffic of actors, brokerage contracts, etc., these occupy more proportions.
That era of dedicated production is going away, down-to-earth actors are getting fewer and fewer, take costume dramas, we are looking at the history of China for 5,000 years, but costume dramas have to pursue modernization, is this not only sad?
Those so-called divine dramas are nothing more than relying on solid scripts, the spirit of ingenuity, the innovation of techniques, the input of actors and the creative concept of non-interest as the only orientation, which is polished by a team with the ultimate and simple attitude, and the heart is polished little by little.
Those dramas that rely on traffic actors to become popular, dramas that aim to circle money, dramas that want to debut after cutting pictures and reading numbers, and dramas with the lower limit of the dog blood show, will eventually be spurned by the audience and nailed to the column of shame to become the negative teaching materials of Chinese film and television.
If the heart is not right, how to make a good drama?
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="250">PART 3</h1>
It is not unreasonable for Li Youbin to usher in the peak of his career with the anti-Japanese drama "Bright Sword".
When filming this drama, once Li Youbin had a high fever, wearing three coats and still shivering, and finally poured half a bottle of two pots, took advantage of the wine to finish the day's scene, and then continued to memorize lines while dripping.
Now the flow of small students even if they have a broken mouth in their hands, they will cry.
Before taking over the play, he will repeatedly speculate on the character characteristics of the characters, and only receive scripts that have social significance and give back to the audience.
"A really good work has positive energy, there must be a spirit, and we who perform in the work need to constantly explore, promote our own progress, and connect our personal destiny with the work, just like our personal destiny and the fate of the country are linked."
Humble, dedicated, indifferent to fame and fortune, and a correct and clear understanding of their career positioning, actors like Li Youbin can be called real literary and artistic workers.
It is also their existence that has created the legend of domestic dramas.
In 1982, the CCTV version of the "Dream of the Red Chamber" shooting project was officially launched, and the domestic drama shooting team of this remake of historical masterpieces brought together historians, folklorists, red scholars, opera theorists, etc., and even makeup artist Yang Shuyun was an expert in Dunhuang culture.
The actors have only 5 yuan a day living allowance, and most of the funds are used to rebuild the Grand View Garden in Beijing, in Hebei Jianning Guofu, Rongguo Mansion and Ningrong Street, as well as costume styling, hundreds of actors, 2700 sets of clothes. Every makeup detail is very well placed, and some scenes are rehearsed for a week just because the actors are in position.
After years of filming and production that took time and effort and overcame many difficulties, this hitherto unsurpassed masterpiece "Dream of the Red Chamber" has become one of the eternal classics in the hearts of Chinese.
"Journey to the West", which has also become an immortal legend, is more difficult to shoot, and it takes a lot of effort to shoot the dazzling effect of the demons and ghosts in the original.
In order to shoot the scene, the crew ran 70 scenic spots, many places are steep and steep, there is nowhere to eat and stay, and often thousands of people eat steamed buns and pickles to save money.
In view of the limited technology at that time, many special effects were quite stiff, the fight scenes in the air were all shot by acrobats jumping up with a trampoline, and hanging Weah was also made up with a steel wire, and the six-year-old child once fell from 5 meters high and fainted on the spot.
It is in such a difficult condition, simple equipment, and quite difficult filming and production, the entire crew with amazing perseverance and faith in the acting career, worked together to forge "Journey to the West", a classic divine drama that has grown up with generations of Chinese.
It is not difficult to see that most of the good dramas, most of the funds are used in costume modeling, scene construction and shooting production, the actor's salary is ordinary people to work so much, there is no tens of millions of dollars a day of sky-high film remuneration.
Solid script, accurate casting, team consultants who buckle details, dedicated actors, shooting and production regardless of self-interest, set the time and place, and it is these elements that have made the classics of the centuries.
Nowadays, no one dares to spend several years and carefully craft a drama like this, because those are the products of the special economic system of the special era, and now even if the film and television technology is advanced, the cost of a drama often reaches hundreds of millions, and the divine drama cannot be smashed out by throwing money.
"Yongzheng Dynasty" can be called an important milestone in the history of the development of national drama, which raises the national attention of historical drama to an unprecedented height, but no one knows how much heartache is behind this.
The original manuscript of "Yongzheng Dynasty" is February River from the "Qing People's Notes Novel Grand View" and "Qing Dynasty Wild History Grand View" to "Qing Barnyard Banknotes", from the court etiquette, the emperor's clothes, hats, and meal archives to the mastery and understanding of the politics, economy, and culture of the same era, and even how much a pound of tofu is, how to identify silver of different purities, meticulously studied for two years, and then he began to write.
It is also this drama that has laid a solid foundation for cooperation for another historical god work, "Daming Dynasty 1566".
But this is not smashed by money, but by the repeated polishing of the script by the behind-the-scenes personnel, the dedication to details, and the strict requirements of the actors for their own professionalism.
With the more mature domestic dramas, from "My Regiment Leader My Regiment" to "Latent",
From "Breaking into Kanto" to "White Deer Plain",
From "In the Name of the People" to "White Night Pursuit",
Looking back at these modern works, you will find that they are inseparable from professional performances, solid scripts and sophisticated costumes, and the original intention of these plays is not to go for money at all, but to shoot for a belief.
Compared with those shoddily made and relying on traffic stars to circle money, the real god works are more like living textbooks, carrying the past, present and future of a nation, and are the ingenuity of generations of drama writers.
Nowadays, with the influx of capital, the entertainment industry has entered the era of star-making, compared with the old drama bones that rely on acting skills and word of mouth, traffic has become the highest standard for measuring an artist, who has stronger purchasing power of fans, who is the hottest fragrant food.
Therefore, for the sake of box office and broadcast volume, the producers used most of the funds to invite sky-high traffic stars, leaving a pitiful amount of funds for the work.
These so-called actors have no acting skills to speak of, and even their cultural level is worrying, so the assembly line industrial dramas created by capital for traffic are full of embarrassing shots of staring, cutting pictures, and contrived. You can't even write two lines of lines, because the traffic love beans can't memorize it.
In addition to receiving bad dramas, they also like to participate in various variety shows, please, the drama has not yet been performed, so impatient to change places to circle money?
Flower Cat thought it sounded rather ironic, when did the threshold for an actor with a thousand times higher salary than the average person become so low? When can an actor not even memorize the most basic lines? And when did the traffic artists even match the gods?
The real cultivation of an actor is to have a clear judgment of himself, to have a reverence for this industry, and an actor is a literary and artistic worker, in addition to needing excellent strength, he also needs to do a good job of positive guidance in all aspects.
Returning to the essence and not forgetting the original intention, in this era of information prosperity, can we carry the weight of thinking, open the depth of thinking, and convey the thickness of civilization.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="253">PART 4</h1>
When making "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes", Uncle Li said: "Ordinary Chinese people have the right to watch more exquisite TV dramas, and they cannot look down on their cultural aesthetic level. ”
With the country's focus on the entertainment industry, it is believed that traffic actors will eventually become a thing of the past, and the entertainment industry will also usher in a clear wind.
Plastic actors created by capital will only have no basis for their own existence because they have no artistic virtue and acting skills, and the garbage dramas packaged by traffic artists will also be spurned by everyone.
Only by cultivating artistic virtue, tempering acting skills, staying away from impetuousness, and letting excellent works live in the hearts of the audience are real cultural and entertainment workers.
As an actor, you need to concentrate on shaping the role, and as a producer, you need to study the work in order to go further and further down the road of acting.
