Probably from the beginning of "Actors Please Take Place", Li Chengru's righteous words and daring to attack the negative phenomena of the film and television circle have aroused unanimous praise from the audience.
Li Chengru is an old drama bone, with a sense of persistence and responsibility of an old-school actor, and he is always full of enthusiasm and vitality for his acting career. He is a dramatist who has high demands on himself, and at the same time, he does not allow others to tarnish the performing arts in his mind.
In his own talk show, Li Chengru once again evaluated the career he loved and the bad phenomena. On the set, Li Chengru and the little fresh meat played against each other, some people you simply can't see him in the crew, although there are many of his scenes in this work, but it is still more difficult to see him than to ascend to the sky.
Some people may say that such an unprofessional actor, we don't need him to get it. Things are far from so simple, many situations in the film and television circle nowadays are that the director can not decide who to play his own play, the choice of actors is more often dominated by capital, who invests in who speaks is tough, and investors may be businessmen, or other speculators, he is not engaged in art, so they choose people in accordance with big data to decide, simply put, who is more sought-after, to traffic stars as the leading film and television works Naturally everything should be based on the so-called "pillar", he does not come, everyone will follow and so on, No one can complain, especially some small directors, who have no say at all.
Many young actors, despite their average acting skills, have a lot of pomp and circumstance, and they have to bring 5 assistants, 4 cooks, RVs and power generation vehicles to the crew, making themselves like heads of state.
When they arrived at the scene, they began to read "1234567" to the lines that they could not memorize, and when he finished reading them, he was finished, and after the assistant put on his clothes, he was surrounded and got into his motorhome, and he did not come out on this day.
People who have watched Ye Jing, Feng Xiaogang, these directors shoot dramas, may have the impression that Ye Jing's filming of period dramas reflects the theme of the children of the courtyard, he wants to let these young people go to an abandoned army compound to experience life, all mobile phones are confiscated, there is no bus stop within a radius of tens of kilometers, it is impossible to have taxis, wilderness and wilderness, everyone completely lives a closed life, daily militarized management, and the schedule is orderly. In the morning, when the whistle is blown, the quilts are folded into tofu blocks, what red quotes, red classics must open their mouths to come, read the script at night, hold meetings to communicate, and make mistakes to collectively criticize. After a month of in-depth experience before the official start of filming, this shooting may be half a year.
Feng Xiaogang's "Fanghua" was almost the same way at that time, reading the script was the most basic operation, taking an assistant was not allowed at all, of course, Miao Miao and Zhong Chuxi at that time were newcomers, they did not have assistants, but Huang Xuan was already a famous actor at that time, he brought an assistant to the crew, but when he saw that everyone did not bring an assistant, he let his assistant stand far away and wait, and he did everything himself.
Huang Xuan is of course a dedicated actor, but this is also due to the atmosphere of the entire crew. The main thing is that everyone does not have a competitive atmosphere, and all the communication and discussion is about how to make a good scene, rather than exchanging how much money you have in this bag, what brand my boots are. If you change to a kind of crew dominated by capital, then it is difficult to say how much effort everyone can do, and the mind is probably all used to be more than whose assistant and whose caravan is advanced.
The reason why Huang Xuan, Miao Miao, and Zhong Chuxi have to wash themselves, cook their own meals, and brush their own rice bowls, on the one hand, the director wants to convey a signal to the actors, this is an art manufacturing factory, not a red carpet, not Vanity Fair for drunken fans. And "Fanghua" as a work reflecting the life of the literary troupe in the 1970s, everyone can only enter the role if they live a collective life and truly put themselves in their lives. Every day, the assistant delivers food to the caravan, how can he play the soldiers of the literary troupe?
Li Chengru believes that the problem now is that our film and television industry is too accustomed to young people, too doting on our children, the society is too tolerant of them, one by one young to become famous, the skills have not yet learned people to be popular, then you say that he will still have to work hard in the future? A large gold bag had not yet grown hard enough to hit him on the shoulder, could he hold on to himself?
Li Chengru recalled that when he was 13 to 23 years old, he was working hard, never had other ideas, and society could not let you have other ideas. And it is not your turn, why can you beat those old gentlemen with extraordinary skills? Why are you more spirited than them?" There is no Zheng'er Eight Years and Eight Years of Boy Gong, you want to be an actor, to be a star, and there is no door.
Nowadays, those old artists that we have a high evaluation of, the reason why the old drama bones have good acting skills, good moral character, and dedication to their work is that they play solid basic skills. They also cherish their jobs, because they have indeed made unimaginable efforts to eat the bowl of actors, and this hard-won career is naturally sacred for them.
And now some of our young actors don't take the profession of actor as a luxury, because everything comes too easily, and with a small face, it becomes a pie in the sky.
Once, Li Chengru was filming on the set, after coming early in the morning, he began to be busy as usual, makeup, consolidating lines, waiting for a long time before the staff came with the big sun dangling, telling him that today to pack up, ready for a holiday, in a few days the drama will not be filmed, our starring should take the college entrance examination, wait for him to finish the college entrance examination and then start work.
This time Li Chengru gave Li Chengru a lot of fun, look at what scene we call this, like words, your old man college entrance examination is a good college entrance examination, what drama do you come to shoot. That's how you treat your work and study? That's how you plan for your future? If you are so single-minded, can you learn knowledge and culture well, or can you act well? It's ridiculous.
Later, li chengru, a crew like this, is determined not to come, how much money to give does not do, we are old, it does not matter if we lose some money, the key is that we can't afford to lose this old face.
Today, our film and television industry is very prosperous, the value created every year is quite huge, and the box office records are refreshed every year, but today the prosperity of the entire film and television industry is based on the fifth generation, the sixth generation of directors and the 60s and 70s of this generation of actors. But with the gradual withdrawal of this generation of actors from the stage, whether our post-90s and post-00s young actors can successfully take over and thus create new glory, I am afraid that no one dares to pack tickets.
At least from the perspective of dedication, in the past one or two dozen times, it is difficult to see the scene of exploring and correcting a prop, a look, an action, and a word pronunciation on the spot. However, our practitioners, as well as our general audience, also have the responsibility and obligation to guide our next generation, when the children are young, they learn more skills, grow up, and first suffer and then enjoy is the right way, you say?
