Some people say that Xie Jin is " Star Maker ".
Many actors shine because they starred in the film directed by him and became famous and became a movie star.
such as Zhu Xijuan , Xiangmei , Li Xiuming , Chen Chong, Zhang Yu , Zhu Shimao , Cong Shan , Lu Xiaohe , etc. There are also actors who are originally very famous, but because of their roles in the films he directed, they broadened their acting path and extended their artistic vitality.
such as Wang Xingang , Xie Fang , Shangguan Yunzhu, Shi Weijian , Wang Fuli, Liu Xiaoqing , Siqin Gaowa, Jiang Wen , etc.
This is really a good director who knows the truth.
He is very good at selecting actors and is especially good at inspiring actors.
seems to have always had a way to make the actors bloom to the greatest extent in the movie.
When it comes to actors he has worked with, he is also full of witty words.
Among them, some actors are very good at acting, but some actors are relatively weak in expressiveness, but they will use some technical means to make the actors' performances close to the role to the greatest extent.
Xie Jin believes that a truly good actor does not just have a beautiful face.
should have deep cultural literacy.
The "culture" here does not refer to Chinese language learning, but a multi-faceted knowledge reserve.
For example, Shi Hui and Zhao Dan are all able to write and draw, and can write and perform.
Zhao Dan not only writes well, but also draws well.
and stone can be called the Chinese Chaplin . He can act, direct, and compose music, and has a variety of talents.
Shi Hui is the actor that Xie Jin admires the most.
They have worked together in the movie "Chicken Feather Letter".
In this crew, Shi Hui serves as the director and Xie Jin serves as the deputy director.
He learned a lot from Shi Hui.
In Xie Jin's view, Shi Hui is a genius actor, he is very good at observing and imitating. He can always grasp a person's characteristics at the first time.
It is precisely because Shi Hui plays the policeman in "My Life" or the Senggelinqin in "Song Jingshi", they are all so vivid.
can really be said to be playing like .
Nowadays, there are very few actors who are as good as Shi Hui at imitation.
There are also actors such as Shu Xiuwen and Gao Baocheng . When Xie Jin and Lin Nong directed "A Storm" together, they chose Shu Xiuwen to play Li Fusao in the film. It was a very pleasant thing to work with
and such a mature actor.
Gao Baocheng once played Shui Changbo in the movie " Spring Miao " directed by Xie Jin. Although the positioning is different every time, he is extremely devoted as soon as he appears in front of the camera.
Once an actor is immersed in the state of selflessness, he will definitely create a good role.
Wang Yumei is also such a good actor. In 1984, when Xie Jin directed " The Wreath Under the Mountain ", he invited Wang Yumei to play the role of Aunt Liang, which was a great success.
Xie Jin thinks she is very amazing . He once said to her, "You have acted in too few dramas."
Wang Yumei played the old lady in "Home Harvest " in " After Harvest", and she has both spirit and form.
At that time, she carefully observed the old lady's behavior, including the way she walked in the Shandong lady, so her performance in the video was so real and credible.
In the movie, we saw that Wang Yumei took two steps back while pushing the mill so accurately, which shows that she has put in hard work.
, and such an actor deserves the Hundred Flowers Award and the Best Supporting Actress Award for .
In "The Wreath Under the Mountain", there is also a supporting actress who also acted well, that is Siqin Gaowa.
She played Yang Gaihua in the film very few scenes, but she devoted all her emotions to show each scene touchingly.
Xie Jin believes that Siqin Gaowa is an actor with very good comprehensive qualities. She can sing and dance and can draw. What’s more important is that she devotes herself to the camera as soon as she comes to the camera, fully integrating herself into the role, achieving a natural effect.
Shu Xiuwen and Siqin Gaowa have both played Hu Niu, but they are different and charming.
In Xie Jin's memory, Zhao Dan was very fast into the role.
He also enters a state of selflessness once he steps into the stage or camera.
No matter how many people are surrounded and watched, it will not prevent him from entering the "prescribed scenario".
And the more people he watches, the more he becomes.
The tears come at the moment, not affected by the environment at all.
So removes distracting thoughts and overcomes tension, for an actor, it is a training for basic skills.
Zhu Xijuan became famous because she played Wu Qionghua in the movie " Red Detachment of Women " directed by Xie Jin.
She was just a student of Shanghai Theater Academy , and Xie Jin found something very close to Wu Qionghua from her. Especially the selfless commitment she showed when playing the piano made Xie Jin see her development potential.
Zhu Xijuan was also nervous when facing the camera. So Xie Jin arranged for her to participate in training with other actresses who played the Detachment of Women's Army soldiers, just like a real soldier, she kept her guns in hand, and she went out to have sex every day, singing "Red Detachment of Women's Army Song". Zhu Xijuan did a good job and was no longer timid when she appeared in front of the camera.
In order to perform the scene of "Qionghua witnessing Hong Changqing's sacrifice", Zhu Xijuan went to the filming scene every day to watch how Wang Xingang "was heroically killed". And every time I use the character's identity to empathize with it. Two months later, she went into the studio to take a photo, and she formed a very accurate picture of the character.
After filming "The Red Detachment of Women", Zhu Xijuan felt like she had lived again. This is because she is too hardworking and too devoted. She achieved the transformation from a student who studied performance to becoming a female Red Army soldier.
The gap between this is very big, but Zhu Xijuan defeated herself.
Liu Xiaoqing is also an actor that Xie Jin admires very much.
He believes that the bigger reason why Liu Xiaoqing can become a movie star is that she has created so many distinct characters with distinct images.
Xie Jin feels that if an actor is not successful in character and no one watches the movies he acts, then even if he makes a hundred movies, he will not become a star.
Of course, Liu Xiaoqing also has his own shortcomings.
, for example, performance is relatively single, etc.
Before Xie Jin invited Liu Xiaoqing to play the role of Hu Yuyin in "Furong Town", he found all the movies starring Liu Xiaoqing, and then analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of her performance.
He thinks it is very important for a director to learn to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
He thinks Liu Xiaoqing is very plastic.
But at the same time, he also pointed out the problem that Liu Xiaoqing had in his performance, that is, although he played so many roles, his image was not three-dimensional enough, and he only had one posture.
During the filming of "Furong Town", he also constantly guided Liu Xiaoqing to perform in a new way. In the end, Liu Xiaoqing achieved a huge transformation from a true actor to a personality actor.
The same method was used on the two male actors Lu Xiaohe and He Wei.
The two of them play Liang Sanxi and Jin Kailai in "The Wreath Under the Mountains".
In fact, the characters of the two are quite different from those of the play.
For example, Lu Xiaohe has an active personality and strong performance ability, while He Wei is a little timid and seems "stingy".
So Xie Jin adjusted them in a targeted manner, asking Lu Xiaohe to remove his own "makes" and joking, and asked He Wei to write big words on big paper, because this is more in line with the character's personality.
He Wei couldn't even rob, but Xie Jin almost replaced him. But after a long period of training, he completely changed himself and played Jin Kailai as if he were decent.
From then on, Lu Xiaohe and He Wei no longer acted around but were still himself. They all learned to shape their character and succeeded.
Xie Jin has a unique set of skills to select actors and inspire actors.
He chose Tong Chao to play Lei Juncheng in "The Wreath Under the Mountain" instead of Li Moran because he felt that Tong Chao's performance was more intrinsic.
He chose Li Yuanyuan to play Dong Zhujun in "Century Life", rather than Fang Shu who recommended herself, because Fang Shu's temperament is quite different from Dong Zhujun. In terms of aura, Li Yuanyuan is indeed more suitable.
Let the right actors play the right role, which is obviously more conducive to the success of the film and can also help the actors find confidence.
For example, let Zhu Shimao and Cong Shan play Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi in " Wrangler ", let Bao Guoan play in "Opium War" Lin Zexu , let Wang Fuli play Song Wei in " Tianyun Mountain Legend ", etc., which are very suitable.
How can an actor shape his role more successfully?
In addition to image, temperament and acting skills, Xie Jin feels that professionalism is also particularly important.
He specifically mentioned and , the performance master.
At that time, Xie Jin was preparing to film "The Battle of Red Cliffs" and was preparing to invite him to play the role of Cao Cao. So he immediately made a request, that was, to give him a year to prepare.
So it is said that can’t be played in just a few days.
Comparing those actors who pick up the script and change into costumes and start acting. Only big artists like Yushizhi are truly creating roles. The characters they portray are naturally more intriguing. The same is true for Tong Chao. In order to perform the scene where "Lei Junchang got angry" well, he practiced and walked every day until it was completely in line with the character's state.
But now, how many actors are there like such serious actors?
So everyone's success will not be for no reason.
Xie Jin also has his own opinion on the issue that many viewers think of film and television performance as false.
He feels that many actors have entered a misunderstanding, that is, "What's the point of learning about acting? As long as you have a beautiful face." The concept of
is now popular, resulting in real good actors not being able to come out, and the audience has no good shows to watch. An actor like
has been a true character all his life and does not know how to shape characters with different personalities. He is just repeating himself constantly.
Once the capital is used up, you have to face elimination.
There are also actors who are very polite and do not speak well or do things well. In short, they are just performing "performances" and are very falsely "performances".
In this regard, Xie Jin suggested that film and television actors should not learn to recite lines. They can learn more about crosstalk and folk art, which will help them more. For example, , Chen Peisi, , is the leader in this field.
There are also some actors who don’t have career aspirations and do whatever they want. In Xie Jin's words, if you have never read " Dream of Red Mansions ", how can you understand the mentality of the ladies in the Grand View Garden? If you have never read "Water Margin", how can you reflect the masculinity of a man like Wu Song and Lin Chong?
This great director said to the point of being a actor, if he does not have professional ethics, it is very difficult for him to become a true performer.
Although Xie Jin has left this world for 14 years, the words he said are still every word and every sentence is reasonable. It's inspiring for all actors.
Everyone thinks, right?
