Is it a good actor to burst into tears in an instant, a lot of tears to flow, and the biggest crying?
On October 21, iQIYI Young Director created the reality show "Let's Shoot The Movie" to release the latest promotional film, and Shu Qi, who is a member of the Film and Television Green Lantern Club, gave her answer.
In the promotional film, Shu Qi, as an examiner, will conduct an acting test for the students, and the assessment criteria include speed, quantity, and sound.
At first glance, it may sound a little confusing, how do these three measure the actor's acting skills? It turns out that this exam is the speed of tears, the number of tears and the size of the cry, each of which will be tested with data. In order to pass Shu Qi's exam, the students did their best, and in the end, only one person perfectly reached the standard, but the student was a robot.
Shu Qi's propaganda film is like a soul torture, and the reversal of the ending is unexpected and full of irony. "Can tears really measure the quality of an actor's acting skills?" The last sentence of the promo film is thought-provoking: acting is not a competition, and actors are not machines.
Whether it is "Start Filming" or actor Shu Qi, what he wants to convey is that compared with the scheduling of acting skills, good performance should be more contagious communication, and strive to achieve soul resonance with the role, with the work, and with the audience. It is very convincing for Shu Qi to interpret this theme, because in her acting career, she is what the promotional film says: she has never fought with people for acting skills, and she is not an actor machine.
In the variety show, she is a cute and playful, beautiful and bright intimate girl, living freely without the constraints of age, and then open Shu Qi's acting resume, win the Academy Award twice, and after winning the Golden Horse Film twice, Shu Qi's actor career has a brilliant record, not only does people look beautiful, but the acting skills are continuous online.
In 1996, Shu Qi won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actress for her outstanding performance in "Pornographic Men and Women" directed by Er Dongsheng, which was the first time in Shu Qi's life that she won the award, and for the first time she also felt a strong sense of mission of "wanting to act hard".
In 1999, "Hong Xing Thirteen Sisters" made Shu Qi win the best supporting actress in Hong Kong again, and the starlight was better than before. At that time, she also starred in the movie "Glass Bottle" with Jackie Chan, interpreting a cute and ignorant girl and performing a high-quality "girly feeling".
In 2005, Shu Qi cooperated with director Hou Xiaoxian for the second time to create a complex role that combines purity and beauty, tenacity and perseverance in "The Best Time", shu Qi contributed god-level acting skills in this film, and won the best actress at the 42nd Golden Horse Awards.
Shu Qi's understanding of the role is profound and internalized, so she once merged with the characters in "The Best Time" into one and could not distinguish between the inside and outside of the play, and could not get out of the shadow of the character's fate for three or four months.
In 2011, with her outstanding performance in "No Longer Leave You Alone", Shu Qi won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress.
In 2016, although there were only a few lines in "Assassin Nie Yinniang", the Tang Dynasty female assassins portrayed by Shu Qi had delicate acting skills and were successfully shortlisted for the Best Actress of the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.
Recalling the works that Shu Qi has performed, it is more appropriate to describe it as input and nature, and her plays are not like dramas, more like each different self. When shedding tears, there is no crazy exaggerated facial expression, and when the emotion arrives, the tears will naturally flow down, and people will not help but want to touch her head or give her a comforting hug.
If the innate acting skills are the aura given by God, then the efforts of the day after tomorrow are the guarantee that this aura will always shine.
Laziness is a unique symbol of Shu Qi's body, but in the process of acting, she is far more diligent than imagined.
Liu Ye once said that the Hong Kong and Taiwan artists he cooperated with, Li Shuqi, was the most able to endure hardships. Although "Assassin Nie Yinniang" has few lines, but there are many action scenes, Shu Qi, who was 38 years old at the time, never confided in hardship, in order to play the killer's face cold hand, Shu Qi would practice waving his arm every day, and later he also injured his right hand and saw a doctor for a year.
About the so-called "acting scheduling" in the promotional film of "Start Shooting", Shu Qi gave her own answer very early, when a reporter asked her how to mobilize emotions, Shu Qi said that she did not understand, she smiled and said that she was not a company, there was no need to mobilize emotions like mobilizing funds, as long as it was enough to invest in the role.
When it comes to the good or bad acting skills, Shu Qi also believes that there is no unified standard, and in her opinion, whether she can act well is to see whether she is invested in the role.
As an actor for many years, Shu Qi has won the respect of partners, won the honor of film queen, and also won international praise, the president of the 62nd Cannes Film Festival Jacob commented that Shu Qi is a very outstanding Chinese actress, she came from an ordinary family, but she can work a little harder and reach the international level.
Some film critics have said that commercial films need a person to be attractive, literary and art films need a person to have a sense of perception, shu Qi has both, so it will be favored by both.
This time Shu Qi joined the "Start Shooting Bar Movie", not only to share his experience and experience as an actor, but also to support the newcomer director to contribute, at present Shu Qi's new film "Looking for Her" is being filmed, this film is also a newcomer director directing, Shu Qi personally practiced practical actions to support the new force of the film, but also look forward to her "Start Shooting Bar Movie" can show a more wonderful side.
