Chinanews client, Beijing, December 11 (Ren Siyu) "It is not that I am dedicated, but the current standards have changed."
"It seems that the real self is popular now, but the real self does not include your badness."
Recently, two old interviews with Andy Lau were turned over by netizens. In everyone’s impression, he has always been known as a model worker and well-cultivation after 30 years of experience in the arts and a top performer. The host Lu Yu also said in the show, Outsiders will feel that it is hard to be such a good person.
Andy Lau was puzzled: "How am I? It's like I said that punctuality is now an advantage. Shouldn't it be punctual?"

In the show, Andy Lau recalled that when he was filming "A World Without Thieves", the filming normally started at 10 o'clock, and he went to the scene to put on makeup at 9 o'clock, but was asked why he arrived so early?
Because usually actors arrive at 10 o'clock.
"Maybe the requirements now are different from before, so even punctuality and memorizing lines are advantages. You think this meeting needs to be redefined."
He said that if it is a new actor, it is understandable, but when the actors who have already entered the industry are used to it, he no longer forces others to follow the previous model, and starts to reflect on his own mistake: "Because the world has changed. , I still stay in the past."

These remarks quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens. Many people lamented his seriousness, "really a benchmark for the generation" and "the reason why Huazi has become popular for decades".
Behind the hot search, the audience has been suffering from the phenomenon of "false dedication" for a long time.
Andy Lau said that in the past, you could not be late for filming, and you had to take responsibility for the costumes. For example, some areas were white, and they would be white after the end. But now, this attitude has even become a mistake that cannot keep up with the times.
What does the current standard look like?
Netizens easily listed a bunch in the comment area:
"After all, as long as you can cry, you can be intercepted by fans to blow acting."
"Actors can also be searched hot without dubbing themselves."
"It's worth blowing for a singer to sing a full mic."
There are even more people complaining about the actors' acting skills. Fans also allow everyone to be tolerant, saying that they want to allow idols to have room to learn and grow, and if they don't know how to act, can they not learn well and then shoot?

As mentioned in the interview, it seems that the late arrival of actors has become a common phenomenon during filming. In an interview, actor Guo Xiaodong talked about basic actor qualities, without giving examples of deep-rooted acting skills, etc., but just one sentence: at least be on time. .
"I still can’t understand why I’m always late. Sometimes all the staff in the group, more than 200 people, are waiting for an actor to be late. I think this is the most basic. First, you have to be worthy of your profession, and secondly. You have to respect others."

If it is said that being late affects the filming progress of the crew, then being unfamiliar with the lines and even reading the numbers will affect the performance of the actors and voice actors in the same group.
The actor Shu Chang encountered a rival actor who didn’t remember the lines and said one word: "you", followed by "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."
Last year, actor Wang Jinsong also talked about it on the forum. A young actor proudly told others that he memorized his lines very well and he did not forget a paragraph. He felt helpless about this:
"I'm really sorry. When did our profession become a profession that has to be praised for memorizing lines? What is memorizing lines? Memorizing lines is the gun you used on the battlefield. Can you tell me that you are in the trenches? Didn't you take a gun? How shameless you are?"

Clumsy cutouts and doubles have caused damage to the audience's eyes again and again.
A few years ago, screenwriter Song Fangjin exposed the chaos of doubles. From Wu Li to Wen Ti, an actor can be arranged for five or six doubles to perform one-stop, and there are even more than 30 people who are all doubles in a scene.
In addition to these, there are also "dedication" propaganda such as sticking to shooting with hands broken, wearing winter jackets in summer, hanging Wia personally, and acting ugly for characters...

In recent years, acting variety shows have sprung up, but it has made the audience aware of the fact that actors do have thresholds, and acting does require awe.
After watching various versions of the performances of "Sit on Needles, Like a Barbed Back, Like a Knife in the Throat", then look at the controversy caused by the S card (a rating card for actors in a variety show). Everyone is more and more confused. What is it? The current standard.
And when the fans blew out beautiful words to such a performance, the audience's degree of harm will be increased again, and every time they click into those animated pictures with the labels of "acting burst", "acoustic praise", and "cry scene touching" , There are always people who can't help but put up a "just this?" question.

Shooting on time, reading good lines, and acting well are obviously the actor's own duties. When did it become something worthy of praise?
Except for the small screen performance, the performance on the stage is the same.
In the interview, Andy Lau also mentioned the attitude of being a singer, and he can also find a helpless comparison at the moment.
Nowadays, when a singer sings the wrong lyrics on the spot, many fans will even think it is very cute, but Andy Lau said bluntly that what he dislikes most is singing the wrong lyrics.
"Today, I sang it wrong with you. It's fine, but I can't spare myself." He said frankly that he dare not look at the teleprompter until now. Singing must be practiced for two to three months, and in the end it is not necessary to practice. Think about what to sing next.

He also recalled that once he won an award for singing "The Chinese". During the live performance, the drummer did not have headphones. The more he played, the faster he played. He especially hoped to remove the drum and sing again, "Because I really don't want everyone to hear A golden song like this".
Nowadays, it is unlikely that the drums will be beaten faster and faster, because lip-synching, half-opening of the microphone, and sound repair have become the norm on the stage.
Every time a large-scale party starts, the combination of "star + full wheat" can be praised in hot searches. Some netizens commented that maybe in a few years, real singing may become news.

Perhaps some people have forgotten that profession and professionalism cannot be equated. The audience just wants to see works of solid quality. If actors and singers fail to respect their work, how can they be relaxed and tolerant?
Recently, the problems that practitioners and viewers have criticized for a long time have also become the focus of the industry. On December 8, the "Opinions" issued by the China TV Drama Production Industry Association stated that the creative attitude must be corrected, bad behaviors must be corrected, and the industry must be virtuous. development of.
Some flashy and impetuous phenomena in the current drama market are written in the opinions in the form of specific cases:
Some actors bring their own screenwriters and change the script at will;
Some actors bring their own makeup artist and costume artist, and do not design their own image according to the needs of the plot;
Some actors do not respect their opponents, are not familiar with the plot, or even recite their lines;
Some brokerage companies pay too much attention to the self-image and self-expression of artists, and even force producers and directors to submit to bad behaviors such as refusal to perform, sabotage, and passivity, which seriously interferes with the normal creation of TV series (web series).
The "Opinions" finally emphasized that respecting the laws of art is an urgent matter.
In fact, looking back at Andy Lau’s acting experience, he has experienced all these criticisms of insufficient qualifications, idol burden, and lack of talent in acting. He admitted that he is not a talented actor, but at the same time, he also said that as long as he is a good person and can accept opinions, You can become a good actor, "As long as you accept, believe, and don't doubt so much, basically you can, because you really have too many opportunities to accept many different opinions."
You must be virtuous when you enter the arts. Just relying on vain praise will not make the path of performing arts go longer. If you want to gain the respect of the audience, you must truly be "dedicated", have awe of the profession, and complete the completion As Andy said, “We have been an artist for so many years. In addition to your creation, you can leave your character in the end. It’s very gratifying.”
