Regarding Zhai Tianlin , a few days ago, the famous director Xie Fei published a long article in which he detailed the various educational problems faced by Beijing Film Academy .
To sum up, Beijing Film Academy does have a set of creative and practical film talents, but it is still a bad idea to train academic masters and doctoral students. However, due to various reasons, it has to recruit many masters and doctoral students in the name of creation, including himself.
In the view of Mr. Xie Fei, it is not necessary or appropriate to let creators write papers like scholars, but this is indeed an issue of the education system that cannot be avoided at present.
Indeed, actors, screenwriters, directors, these practical jobs are completely different from scholars who study film theory. The quality of the paper is not related to the business ability. Of course, plagiarism is another matter.
Out of curiosity, I found a group of papers written by other actors during my studies, and wanted to see what they all wrote? So what is it written?
includes Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaoming , Yu Feihong , Xu Qing , Chen Kun, Wang Zhiwen, Zu Feng, Zhang Fengyi , and Zhang Junning , who graduated from Beijing University with very different thesis styles. In addition, there are Feng Gong , which is a very different essay style.
Objectively speaking, there are quite a lot of good writing!
Let’s take a look together -
1. Zhao Wei: "On the Relationship between Real Performance and Instinctive Performance"
Zhao Wei had already starred in " Return to the Condor Heroes " when she was writing her undergraduate thesis. So did she mention this experience in her thesis?
has no at all. In article , she explained the difference between dramatic performance and film performance, then briefly described the history of film performance, and finally expressed her understanding of "subconscious" performance and "true" performance using the theory of master Antonioni, indicating that these two performance methods should be integrated.
A standard undergraduate thesis.
After Zhao Wei became famous all over the country because of Xiaoyanzi, she mentioned in an interview that the performance of Xiaoyanzi at that time was "too eye-catching, and I couldn't accept many things afterwards."
She can use her experience as an example in her thesis!
2, Xu Qing: "Different Creative Ways to Characters"
is different from Zhao Wei. In his graduation thesis, Xu Qing combined his experience of participating in Chen Kaige in " Walking and Singing " when she was in school to explain her views on performance.
Interestingly, she mentioned chatting with Chen Kaige on the crew and talking about roles. "Talking for two or three hours a day, I think in his heart, one shot and one look are an article. What is presented to the audience is only a two-second shot, but behind these two seconds he can tell a novel."
Then on the first day of filming, Xu Qing said that her mind was full of articles, which made the scene not possible at all. Then Chen Kaige told her -
advanced performance was just to be confused with clarity.
feels like enlightenment! I really want to see Kai Ye’s graduation thesis, but unfortunately I didn’t find it. . .
3, Chen Kun: "My Perspective of Personalized Performance"
Thanks to Zhai Tianlin, I believe many people have read Chen Kun's paper.
His paper quotes many theories, and writes about his process of exploring roles in a graduation drama, but does not quote much of his own experience. The larger part is to analyze his understanding of performance.
This is quite similar to Zhao Wei.
No wonder they are good friends.
4, Huang Xiaoming: "The Dialectical Relationship between "fuzzy" and "personalization""
Because they are also talking about performance personality, Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun's papers are next to each other in the monographs of Beijing Film Academy papers.
When he wrote about his role in " Let's Get Married ", in order to make this character remember, he designed a small action for the character to bite the pen frequently.
Huang Xiaoming's evaluation of himself is: "It may be ridiculous to think about it now, but for me at that time, it was of progressive significance for the character creation of characters."
"Let's Get Married"
is quite cute.
Huang Xiaoming also discussed a lot of Jiang Wen's performances in his paper. He admired the "Jiang Wen-style" performance method very much.
If it weren't for reading the paper, it would be difficult to connect Huang Xiaoming and Jiang Wen. Huang Xiaoming hardly talked about Jiang Wen in public. It seems that this is a deep admiration buried in his heart...
5. Yu Feihong: "On the Supreme Realm of Performance"
Yu Feihong is now a benchmark for independent women in everyone's mind. She was only twenty years old when she wrote this paper. Most of the stories were about her own experience of filming Wang Ying "Happy and Blessing Club".
She wrote that she liked the characters in this movie very much, "That's the character I dreamed of." For this reason, she made sufficient preparations before filming. As a result, she took a fourteen-hour flight to San Francisco and was picked up to the set as soon as she got off the plane. Case filmed the first scene, and the heroine killed her son in a trance.
When she was close to the character in her body and mental state, she recalled that she really had hallucinations like a person in the game when filming this scene, and after the filming ended, she was paralyzed.
Finally she concluded that this is the happiest moment for the actor - the state of unity with the character in the performance.
"Xi Fu Club"
6, Zhang Junning: "Legal Issues in the Management of Actors of Entertainment Personnel"
Zhang Junning's master's thesis is 242 pages long and can be awarded the award for the longest thesis of an actor. Read it carefully and you will find that this paper is really interesting. This is an inside story of an actor exposing various sources of entertainment circles as an author.
For example, it says that the commission commission is unfair, which means that in the Taiwanese performing arts brokerage industry, the commission ratio of industry artists being commissioned by agents ranges from 10% to 50%, and the number of newcomers is even as high as 70%.
Huang Shengyi and Stephen Chow termination issues, Jolin Tsai studio dispute, and even the suicide of Korean star Zhang Ziyan are all cases studied by Zhang Junning.
If you are interested in insider information in the circle, you can search this article to take a look.
7, Zhang Fengyi: "Self and Role"
Zhang Fengyi's graduation thesaurus was included in the first article of the performance textbook by Beijing Film Academy. The content is quite detailed and the level is terrifyingly high. He believes that actors should not only play roles that are similar to themselves, but also play more roles that are completely different from themselves. He took Zhao Dan as his role model.
Then he used his experience in "Treasure Hunt Out of the Frontier" and "Camel Xiangzi" to explain how he entered the hearts of the characters.
The most interesting thing is this section. In order to experience the rickshaw driver's feeling, he went to chat with the driver, and also watched many 1920s cartoons to find the character's temperament. He even put on the coachman's coat and went to the gate of Beijing Film Academy for a month to pull the car - -
8. Wang Zhiwen: "Experimental Life Performance"
Wang Zhiwen's paper discusses how actors should be close to the role during performance. He metaphorizes performance as a law of the universe. The actor's own role is the center of the universe, and other roles are his various functions (y=f(x)).
Then he explained his understanding of the character Tang Tiezui to prove this theory, Tang Tiezui was the role he played in the graduation drama "Teahouse".
9, Zu Feng: "A Performance of Repeated Experience"
Low-key and powerful "Uncle Cui" is an actor I like very much. In this paper, Zu Feng stalled that performances require repeated experiences. Only in this kind of repetition can we find a better expression, and said that movies are a "abnormal art" -
Zhang Fengyi's rickshaw was also written into the paper by Zu Feng as an example of repeated experiences -
Then Jiang Wen was mentioned again in this paper! It seems that Jiang Wen is really an idol of the younger generation. . .
10, Feng Gong: "Exploration and Practice of Innovation in Crosstalk Art "
This year I failed to see Feng Gong on CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Everyone felt that it was a bit less interesting.
This paper can be said to be a complete combination of practice and theory.
Watch the content and you will find that the talent for comedy will also spread to the text. When reading his papers, you can often make up for the feeling of listening to crosstalk. Excerpts from a paragraph about him writing about supporting actors and funny actors -
There must be a contrast between supporting actors and funny actors. In addition to image and appearance, what is more important is the contrast in the inner personality. For example, there is a contrast between me and Liu Wei. He is short and I am tall. This is a contrast between appearance. This is a simple contrast. In terms of age, I am older than him. He is a more handsome image, he is a handsome guy, and I am helpless and sincere.
helpless sincerity... This kind of self-deprecating and self-deprecating must have been written by myself.
