Generally speaking, the audience likes actors with 'explosive power'.

For example, it has a special aura, such as crying is very empathetic, and for example, the line skills are very strong, and the role played makes people feel inexplicably impacted.

In the eyes of the acting schools in the industry, these are actually not worthy of praise.

Because this is the basic skill of being an actor.

And purely in terms of explosiveness, in fact, many actors don't necessarily do it very well, it is the blessing of some external factors such as dubbing, special effects, makeup, etc., that can have some amazing effects for the audience.

But these bursts were short-lived.

On the contrary, the most difficult characters to express are not short-term outbursts, but those that need to continue to output emotions steadily.

For example, Wei Xun is now playing the role of Cheng Yong.

His mental journey, his state of being tormented by life, he gritted his teeth to smuggle imported medicines, and then decided to give up his interests and smuggle drugs for patients free of charge because of the poor leukemia patient and the death of Lu Yingying.

This is an ordinary little person who has a personality change in a story, and has the ability to think independently, and has stains and shining points.

Whether it is from the script or from the characters, this is a very good story, and the characters are also very full.

There is a lack of such high-quality scripts in the film industry.

Therefore, after Jiang Duzhou and Shao Bing watched "I Am Not the God of Medicine", they were moved by this story and took the initiative to participate in this project.

And now that he has watched Wei Xun's performance, Shao Bing wants to say that Wei Xun not only writes the story perfectly, but also interprets it perfectly.

"Click. ”

Shao Bing, who was sitting behind the monitor, took the initiative to shout to stop, and then stood up with a look of admiration and said: "Amazing, your performance is getting more and more stable now, I wasn't there in the Hongmen banquet of "Let the Bullets Fly" last time, and then Lao Jiang kept praising you with me, today I sat behind the monitor and watched you act, and found that it was really a pleasure." ”

Why do great directors like to work with big actors?

Because this kind of talented actor knows everything, he doesn't need you to say much at all, and he can express everything perfectly.

For example, Cheng Yong, played by Wei Xun just now, is a depressed little person who has lived at the bottom.

The vicissitudes and numbness in his eyes, his words and demeanor, are so real that people feel that he is Cheng Yong himself.

Jiang Duzhou muttered beside him: "This is too perverted, just enter the play directly, and you don't need to adjust at all." ”

They had just come out of the dressing room together.

Then Wei Xun went directly to the stage, seamlessly switching to Cheng Yong, acting is as casual as eating and drinking.

And Yi Heng and An Shi also looked at it with admiration and amazement.

Director Wei's directing movies is already so powerful that people are throwing themselves to the ground, but standing in front of the camera, their acting skills are also beyond their reach.

The feeling of returning to the basics, smooth and natural seems to come easily, if you don't have great skills, how can you do it so lightly?

"I'm different from you, after all, I wrote this script myself, and when I wrote the script, I was already thinking about the role of Cheng Yong. ”

Wei Xun smiled and said, "So it's not as exaggerated as you think, and it's ......"

"Mr. Wei. ”

At this time, a field manager came over and whispered to Wei Xun: "The people from "Film Weekly" have already come, and they watched one of your performances just now, and their editor-in-chief came in person, if you are done here, go over and talk to them." ”

Wei Xun nodded when he heard this, looked at Shao Bing, and said, "Then you shoot first, and I'll go over there for an interview." ”

"Movie Weekly" came over this time to talk to Wei Xun about acting.

And Wei Xun deliberately weakened his image as a commercial film actor a little and transitioned to an acting actor, so he agreed to this interview.

Because it was an interview with the crew, the venue was relatively simple, in an indoor studio.

"Hello Director Wei, I am Yuan Ye, the editor-in-chief of "Film Weekly", and I was fortunate to watch your live performance just now, which is amazing. ”

Yuan Ye was a middle-aged man in his fifties, his face looked a little bookish, he looked at Wei Xun, got to the point as soon as he came up, and asked admiringly: "I want to ask, why can you play this role so ...... Well, such an image. In other words, I haven't read the script of "The God of Medicine" and I don't know what kind of story it is, but I just watched one of your performances, which makes me feel that I have a clear understanding of what the role you play is like. ”

Wei Xun said with a smile: "Because when I was acting, I turned myself into Cheng Yong himself, and I went to do what he should do according to the ideas of Cheng Yong's character." ”

Yuan Ye was a little surprised when he heard this: "But in reality, there is no character called 'Cheng Yong', how can you imitate it? For example, Zhang Mazi in your last work "Let the Bullets Fly" will not have a prototype. ”

Imitate?

Wei Xun shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, imitation is only the most shallow level in the performance system, and it is not very good for the performance on the stage. A true master of acting will turn himself into the character itself, and then experience the emotions of the character. ”

"How do you experience making up a character out of thin air?"

Yuan Ye asked: "As far as I know, in our existing performance system, there seems to be no such thing as 'experiencing roles'. ”

Wei Xun nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, I think our current performance system is too vague, and we don't divide the methods of various performances. In my opinion, the performance system can be roughly divided into three factions, the performance school, the method school, and the experience school. ”

Yuan Ye's eyes lit up.

He came this time to discuss some acting related knowledge with Wei Xun, which is also an important reason why "Film Weekly" can become an authoritative film magazine in China, and the degree of professionalism.

But Yuan Ye didn't expect to hear the private goods of 'performance faction classification' from Wei Xun's mouth.

Because no one has ever categorized performances so clearly before.

Yuan Ye asked, "Is it convenient to elaborate on the conceptual theories of these three factions?"

"You can talk about it briefly, for example, the method school, which is actually the imitation school you said. In essence, it is acting, the character cries when he is sad, and the character laughs when he is happy, covering up the embarrassing and disobedient parts, showing a seemingly passing character. But in fact, such performances are stereotypical and have no core. ”

Wei Xun pondered and said: "And the experiential school is to turn yourself into the character itself, start from yourself, and live in the situation of the character. Only when the 'self' can complete the real experience, that is, 'really hear, really see, really feel', and bring oneself into various character situations, can the character be truly shaped from body to soul. ”

If a person can justify a theory, then he can be a master of theory in that field.

Yuan Ye actually didn't attach much importance to Wei Xun's 'performance faction theory' at the beginning.

After all, everyone has some ideas of their own, and then organize them in their own language to express them.

But after listening to Wei Xun's explanation, Yuan Ye felt that his heart began to beat faster.

Because he thinks that Wei Xun's 'acting faction theory' is very informative, sounds very convincing, and amazing!

Maybe this interview can be sorted out and sparked a big discussion in the performance world.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ye suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to ask: "What about the method school, how do you understand the method school?"
