"Of course Uncle Ge also has his own limitations." Chen Gang said frankly: "The ability to control big people may be somewhat lacking."
"I once commented that Kou Zhun in "Kou Lao Xi'er" was the most unsuccessful character he played. In fact, his previous role as Gao Jianli in "Qin Song" directed by Zhou Xiaowen was not very successful."
Su Ze nodded. Not only in these two movies, but also in Night Banquet and Zhao's Orphans, it was obvious that Uncle Ge wanted to make a breakthrough in his acting skills, abandon his grassroots humor, and give up his unique ridiculing qualities, but...
The response was mediocre!
On the contrary, I prefer the characters in "The Death of Romance". Although he is not a historical figure, Mr. Lu is a powerful gangster. He looks gentle and elegant, but is cruel in his actions. He faces pressure from the Japanese invaders and is involved in an assassination plot.
Brothers, women, and cronies around him are tragically implicated. Not only do they have to make difficult choices between the righteousness of their family and their brotherhood, but they also have to deal with the emotional tangle between a freewheeling social butterfly and a soft and loyal dancing lady.
This fully proves that your uncle is still your uncle!
In Su Ze's opinion, Ge You has a strange face. From a certain angle, it looks ugly and bad, but once you get used to it, it doesn't seem so ugly?
Bad, actually feels kind?
This face wanders in the gray space of "good, bad, beautiful and ugly", sometimes like this and sometimes like that, which creates some kind of wonderful illusion:
Polyphony!
For example, Fourth Master Yuan in "Farewell My Concubine", you can't even touch his main mood. For example, he said to Cheng Dieyi, "A smile will last forever, and a cry will last forever." When he said this, he seemed to be obsessed, as if
It’s the same as appreciating cultural relics, but the obsession seems to be sensual?
This kind of polyphony is more reflected in the performance method, the expression of contraction and release. Many people’s understanding of performance is expansion, and they strive to make their performance occupy the entire space, filling the stage, filling it very much.
Ge You is just the opposite. His performance is restrained, pulling inward and pulling in more than anyone else.
Other people's performances passed by him easily, leaving no trace at all, just like a big wave suddenly covering a stone. But inadvertently, he would still be exposed, exposed at the right time, extremely sharp, short-lived, very
Soon he disappeared again.
And just in such a moment, he concentrated all his skills, which is completely unforgettable.
Ge You's acting is not hasty and he reads his lines slowly but with a twist. This reminds Su Ze of Wang Zhiwen. All great comedians are not always noisy. They usually prefer to be quiet and deep, expressing themselves with one or two small expressions.
Deep emotions, that give them flavor.
Far away from Chen Peisi, closer to Xu Zheng, comedy may be relatively pure. But his comedy is never purely funny, it is always a life of sorrow and joy, and there is often endless sadness in the hilarious laughter.
There is sadness in the joy, and joy comes after the sadness.
In fact, life is often the same, mixed with joys and sorrows, never pure.
After class, he was brought to the office by Lao Chen. When he sat down, his first words made Su Ze a little embarrassed. He actually already knew about the Golden Rooster nomination?
Seeing that this kid wanted to explain, Chen Gang waved his hand and said: "No need to explain, you are doing the right thing, keeping it secret is good!"
After hearing this, Su Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, touched the bridge of his nose and said, "I thought Uncle Chen would tell you, so I'm too embarrassed to mention it again. After all, it's just a newcomer who was shortlisted."
"Well, keeping a low profile is correct." Chen Gang smiled and said, "But you guessed wrong. It wasn't Chen Jianbing who told me, but Director Lin."
"Director Lin?" Su Ze was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized that this was a Chinese drama. How could the Golden Rooster judges not have school leaders?
"All in all, you did a good job. Director Lin is very satisfied." Chen Gang admired Su Ze's calmness. This kid would have been a huge success if it had been anyone else who had been nominated for the Golden Rooster in his sophomore year.
I couldn't help but warned: "You must learn to be normal. It's normal for actors to produce several works every year and be shortlisted for certain awards. It's not just about golden roosters, golden horses, and golden statues. Look at these."
After speaking, Su Ze took out a large pile of things from the drawer and placed them in front of him. When he saw them, they were all red invitations?
"It's a mess, all kinds of ghosts and monsters!" Chen Gang opened it casually and said disdainfully: "In the past two years, I have received many invitations from unknown people, euphemistically called judges of the main committee, guests of the main competition unit, and consultants of the opening ceremony."
"The names are getting better and better, and the level is worse than the last. There are weird things every year, and there are especially many this year!"
Su Ze couldn't help but laugh. He was speechless when he saw a lot of invitations. He was indeed a tutor of the Chinese Opera Performance Department, but he had been targeted for a long time?
"Hey, winning awards is very important for actors, and it is also a goal that many people dream of and even pursue throughout their lives."
Chen Gang put away the invitation letter and said earnestly: "But awards are not everything, let alone the only criterion for measuring an actor's professional level. Do you understand?"
“Golden cups and silver cups are not as good as the audience’s reputation!”
Su Ze nodded seriously. To be fair, apart from the three major Chinese awards, he really didn't think much of the others.
After being together for two years, Chen Gang knew the ambition of the boy in front of him very well, which has been evident since Shengxia Future. Of course, it is not so much ambition as it is self-requirements for acting skills and roles.
This is one of the main reasons why he and even Lin Hongtong like Su Ze. As an actor, especially a young newcomer, original intention is very important.
Many people think that "never forget your original intention" is just a high-sounding nonsense?
You won’t understand the importance of this sentence until you actually reach a certain stage!
There are many graduates from several major art schools every year, and there are many geniuses and lucky ones among them, but the ones who really make it to the end are the ones who are unknown and work hard in a down-to-earth manner.
Others, due to various chances and coincidences, had their moments of glory, and even became famous overnight, and then what?
Being dazzled by all kinds of fame and wealth, being confused by all kinds of things, blinded by wealth and wealth...
Gradually forgetting the simplest original intention at that time, forgetting the simplest declaration of admission, and losing the most precious talent of an actor...
In the end, everyone was lost!
Because he has seen this kind of thing too many times, Chen Gang understands the difficulty of not forgetting his original intention. It is easy to talk about it verbally. How many people really keep their original intention in the face of fame and fortune?
Anyone who can do it is an industry leader!
An outstanding actor worthy of respect!
"Su Ze, you still have a long way to go!" He solemnly warned: "Don't be blinded by temporary success, you know?"
Su Ze could only nod seriously, with a face full of education. Lao Chen was good at everything, he really cared about the students, but he just couldn't stand the brainwashing all day long.
"Humph, you kid!" Chen Gang laughed and scolded: "Now if you think I'm nagging you, you won't even hear it after graduation."
"Forget it, you don't want to hear the truth, let's be honest." Chen Gang motioned to Su Ze to help make tea, and said easily: "The golden rooster and golden horse statues are known as the three largest in Chinese. They stand at the top of the pyramid and each has its own characteristics, or in other words
