Gao Yuanyuan recently admitted in the talk show "Thirteen Invitation" that she is an actress whose "image is bigger than her role".
She said that after trying various efforts, she found that her talent as an actor was limited.
It is very rare for a star to reflect on himself so bluntly to the public these days.
Even if the talent is not enough, as long as you have this sober self-awareness, you can at least reach the passing line in the field of performance.
If you can't even measure yourself, you might not even be able to cross the threshold of performance.
The speech in "Thirteen Invitation" made the public feel that Gao Yuanyuan had the courage to examine herself. In fact, this is not the first time she has made a confession in front of the public. In many interviews in the past, Gao Yuanyuan has shown this kind of introspective personality.
In those days, Gao Yuanyuan entered the performing arts industry by accident. She originally wanted to be admitted to a university to major in secretary, and she would be a white-collar worker in the office in the future.
However, he was discovered by a scout and dragged to shoot an advertisement, and after shooting the advertisement, he was invited to shoot a movie.
When she was in her twenties to make a movie, the director asked her to act in her true colors: "Don't act, you can do what you want in life." In such ignorance, purity, and innocence, Gao Yuanyuan was On to the actor.
And she was always dissatisfied with herself and felt that she was not good at filming. "I don't have the skills I should have except for the image. Standing in front of the camera, I don't enjoy it at all, and I feel uncomfortable."
Later, Gao Yuanyuan tried to challenge a role that was in contrast with herself, so she took on the role of Zhou Zhiruo in "The Heaven and the Dragon". Later, she wanted to break herself again and starred in the film "Nanjing! Nanjing!" directed by Lu Chuan.
The film made her realize that her talent as an actor was limited, and despite being immersed in painful emotions and reading the memoirs of the year to improve her studies, she still failed to show it in front of the camera.
This made her very disappointed with herself, and she even lost control of her emotions because of long-term depression.
"I used to think very highly of myself, and I always felt that I had many doors in my heart, and every door opened, there would be treasures inside, but later, when I slowly had the opportunity to open them, I found that the inside of the door was empty - it turns out that there is no Chance, there is no talent!"
Gao Yuanyuan does not have "beauty and willfulness", but never forgets to beat herself and does not dare to slack off.
Maybe it was because the actresses in the same period were too strong in business, which made Gao Yuanyuan feel that she had no talent for acting.
From the early days of starring in Wang Xiaoshuai's films "Qinghong" and "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", to Zhou Zhiruo in "Eternal Dragon Slayer", Ye Lanqiu in "Search", star peach in "Let's Get Married", and then to the recent TV series "Let's Get Married" Chen Shan and Gao Yuanyuan in "Perfect Companion" are both in place.
Many people say that there are two types of good actors: one is for the gods to eat, and the other is for the ancestors to eat.
The former can become a performing artist, and the latter can at least become an excellent performer.
And like Gao Yuanyuan, neither the gods nor the ancestors are rewarded with food. Fortunately, she still has a sober self-awareness and relatively high self-requirements, which makes her a qualified actor.
Speaking of talented actors, Tony Leung should be the first.
Carina Lau commented on her husband Tony Leung in "The Golden Star Show" that year, "God gave him a mysterious and powerful look for acting in a movie. When he was in a daze in front of the camera, everyone would think, wow! He is good at acting." But Carina Lau At the same time, he also mentioned that Tony Leung was very focused on filming, he would prepare for a film for a long time and put his whole body into it.
The last three minutes of Tony Leung's film "The True Story" of Wong Kar-wai was a performance that could be written into a textbook.
It seems that Tony Leung did it at one go in the film with ease, but in fact this shot took 27 times to grind it out.
At the beginning, Tony Leung was criticized by Wong Kar-wai for not being able to act. Before that, he had been nominated for the Best Actor at the Academy Awards, and the film he starred in also won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, but Wong Kar-wai's blow made him go home and cry. .
Tony Leung invited friends to study together how a gambler should treat himself before going out.
He should comb his hair repeatedly so that it is "smooth"; he should trim his nails and apply hand cream so that it is "smooth".
Tony Leung incorporated these observations, and in less than three minutes of performance, he established the image of a gambler "A Fei", and has since become the queen's leading actor in Wong Kar Wai's films.
Yi Yangqianxi is also a new movie star who has been recognized as a talented actor in recent years, but when he was 16 years old when he played the role of the young Qu Yuan in the TV series "Thinking Beauty", he was considered unsuitable as an actor.
In the interview, he reflected that he "did not grasp the emotional point and the essence of the performance".
A top idol revealed his own scars, which surprised the host on the opposite side, "You can be so honest!" Later, "Twelve Hours in Chang'an" let Yi Yang Qianxi show the possibility of becoming an actor. "Youth as a Teenager" made him successfully tear off the "traffic" label.
Later, through "Send You a Little Red Flower", "Changjin Lake" and "Miracle Stupid Child", Yi Yang Qianxi is no longer just a treasured idol of fans, but a treasured actor of the public.
Talent determines where the ceiling of acting is, and cognition determines whether it can cross the threshold of performance.
The pursuit of traffic, the filters of fans, the inclination of resources, and the inexplicable addition of some awards may really make some stars fail to recognize their true abilities and think that everything they have obtained so far is for granted, without fear With the heart of self-improvement, it is even more impossible to talk about striving to improve.
Whether it is Gao Yuanyuan, who believes that he has no talent, or Liang Chaowei and Yi Yang Qianxi, who are recognized as talented, they can continue to improve in reflection. This is probably the basic self-cultivation of actors.
