Chapter 151: Defects
"Emancipating nature?"
In a cafΓ©, Lee Jung and Park Seung-deok sat opposite each other, he took a sip of coffee, looked at Park Seung-deok opposite, and his tone was full of doubts.
"Yes. Liberate nature. β
Park Seung-deok nodded, looked at Li Zheng, and then said: "After watching your video, the teacher said that the biggest problem with your acting skills is not in other aspects, but that you are too strict with your emotional control. Your emotions are in a semi-closed state all the time. But for actors, learning acting is learning how to expose vulnerability to others.
Acting is a process of discarding self-filtering.
When an actor acts, emotions cannot be performed. You can never act as happy, sad or scared, but as 'action' and 'subtext'.
Acting is not about becoming a different person, but about finding similarities in superficial differences, and then finding yourself in them. ββIn front of this core, the imitation of accents and the transformation of body are just 'instruments'.
An actor creates a real role, in fact, it is a process of self-transformation from thought to character to habits, that is, the process of transforming oneself into the role.
So, if you want to break through the barriers of your acting skills, your first issue now is to liberate your nature, let go emotionally, experience life, and feel the ups and downs, happiness, sadness, strength or fragility in life.
An excellent actor must have a lot of capacity in his heart and be able to accept and interpret the emotions of various characters and their rollercoaster rides. But you have to let go of these emotions in order to accept them and feel them. β
After Park Seung-deok finished speaking, Li Zheng looked at the coffee on the table in a daze, his thoughts were confused, and he was speechless for a long time.
Although he subconsciously resisted in his heart, he knew that emotional closure was indeed an obstacle to his acting growth. When he was studying acting in an American acting class, the training teacher also pointed out this problem in his acting skills, but because the roles he played in the United States have always been passers-by or small supporting roles with a few lines, there is no three-dimensional personality, and there is no deep investment, so his problem was not immediately highlighted at that time.
When participating in "Splendid Legacy", the character of the actor Xian Yuhuan is also very simple, far less complicated, and the director's acting skills for TV series actors are not as three-dimensional and delicate as those required for movie actors, so emotional problems have not become an obstacle to his acting skills. But one thing that cannot be denied is that the success of Xian Yuhuan in "Splendid Legacy" is more the success of the character setting than the success of his acting skills.
During the broadcast of "Splendid Legacy", most of the audience's comments on him were on his appearance and costumes, but there was not much appreciation and recognition for his acting skills.
The stimulation of Bonnie's unexpected death is certainly one of the reasons, and the lack of time to perfect the character design is also part of the reason, but Li Daji, a complex role that is far more changeable and three-dimensional than Xian Yuhuan's personality is the most important factor, and his flaws and immaturity in acting skills are suddenly exposed when facing more complex roles.
If he is given more time to improve the character's background, sort out the character, and design the action, Li Zheng believes that he can meet the requirements of the role of filming a TV series, but this is just like Park Chengdeok's teacher said, this is just a "tool", not a "Tao", he did not dig out the deepest emotions of the character, and he could not create a three-dimensional artistic image with a distinct personality.
And if he can't break through the emotional barrier and improve his acting skills, he can only stay at the level of a "star" forever, and he can't be a real "actor", let alone achieve his ultimate goal of becoming an actor and becoming the top film and television superstar in South Korea.
"Uncle De......"
Thinking of this, Li Zheng raised his head and looked at Park Chengde: "Can I visit your teacher in person and ask him for guidance in person." β
"No need. β
Park Chengde shook his head and said: "The teacher said, your foundation is very solid, he has nothing to teach you anymore, and what he can guide you is nothing more than some acting skills, which are irrelevant." But whether you can liberate your nature, it's useless to rely on outsiders, you need to rely on yourself, when you can open your heart and accept a person, your acting problems will naturally be solved. Only by letting go of yourself, experiencing life, and feeling life can you draw nutrients for growth from life. β
"Well, good... All right. Thank you, Uncle De. β
After listening to Park Chengde, Li Zheng nodded helplessly, he took another sip of coffee, and then seemed to remember something, and asked again: "By the way, Uncle De, you said on the phone that there are some things that need to be discussed with me in person, in addition to acting, is there anything else?"
"There's a very important thing to discuss with you. β
Park Seung-deok groaned slightly and looked at Lee Tsung-do: "Now that my affairs at iHQ have been basically dealt with, I am ready to submit my resignation to the company before the end of this month, and then officially start our business." But before we get started, there are some things I need to talk to you about and come to a consensus first......"
A few months ago, Li Zheng and Park Chengde discussed the establishment of an entertainment company together, and at this moment, hearing that Park Chengde had finally dealt with all the work and could leave the iHQ company at the end of this month to start their business plan, Li Zheng couldn't help but smile happily: "Okay, Uncle De, you say." β
"We discussed creating an entertainment company before, and it was best to wholly acquire a small company with its own well-established system, so that there would be a general operating system, reserve talent, and no need to re-recruit people and start from scratch. β
Park Seung-deok paused slightly, looked at Li Zheng, and continued: "But the small company is not large, the channel is narrow, and the talent pool is poor, even if we are wholly owned, we need to expand the channel step by step, build contacts, and look for talents, and the most important point is that to open an entertainment company in South Korea, in addition to the relationship channels on the surface, it also needs to be supported in the dark, and only when there is a relationship between black and white, the company can develop steadily." β
Li Zheng frowned: "What does Uncle De mean ......?"
"I mean ......"
Park Seung-deok looked at Lee Tsung-do: "If we want to develop steadily and rapidly after the establishment of the company, it is not enough to rely on our own background, so I hope to attach our company to a large company in the name of a subsidiary, just like CUBE founded by Hong Shengcheng, introduce third-party capital, use their background and channels to carry out our business as quickly as possible, so that the company can enter a stable development track as soon as possible." β
