Beijing, April 4 (Zhongxin Net) (Reporter Shangguan Yun) Many popular actors may have an iconic role, just like "Tianjin Big Sister" to Lin Yongjian, the classic line "What to do, what to do!" "At one point, it was all over the country.

Lin Yongjian's drama path is very wide, and in the recent hit drama "The Road of Life", he also won a wave of praise for his interpretation of the role of Gao Minglou. Some viewers went to "archaeology" for this purpose, only to find that he had created so many classic film and television characters.

Becoming an actor is actually Lin Yongjian's dream for a long time, at the age of 17, he was admitted to the Qingdao Repertory Troupe, and three years later became a literary soldier of the Guangzhou Military Region Soldier Repertory Troupe, running through tricks, doing miscellaneous work, and slowly becoming famous with superb acting skills.

After starring in the TV series "Peacetime", Lin Yongjian found another track in his performance, so he chose to become a "North Drift", running back and forth between major crews, looking forward to new opportunities.

He can't control his destiny all the time, but he is always trying to move forward, as long as the script is good and the character setting is challenging, he is willing to try, and diverse roles can help actors grow.

Because of the sketch "Decoration" became popular, but Lin Yongjian was not trapped in it, farmers, workers, university professors, almost acted like anything. He can be Da Zhuang in "Golden Wedding", with a complex personality; It can also be Chang Weisi in "The Three-Body Problem", calm and firm.

In interviews, Lin Yongjian rarely tells the past, but is more willing to share the gains of filming. His understanding of "actor" is still simple, "that is, to interpret the ten thousand emotions in the world, express the joys and sorrows of the world, and convey the truth, goodness and beauty." ”

There are "play" characters

In the first few episodes of "The Road of Life", Lin Yongjian contributed a high praise performance: Gao Minglou stole the admission notice belonging to Gao Garin, and soon had a bad idea, wanting his son Gao Shuangxing to impersonate.

This scene has no lines, but it is very expressive. Someone came to fetch water, Gao Minglou's hand shook in fright, and the envelope containing the notice fell on the stone mill; Afraid of being seen, his small eyes turned and saw that there was no one around, so he hid in the corner and opened the envelope.

How the plot progresses is the director's scheduling, and "dropping letters" is Lin Yongjian's design. He hopes that through this detail, he will show the state of Gao Minglou in a specific situation: once people want to do something wrong, they are prone to rapid heartbeat.

In life, Lin Yongjian has always hated Gao Minglou-style characters. However, when filming, he can strip this hatred very well: reality is reality, characters are characters, and all the actor has to do is make the characters that originally existed in the text three-dimensional.

Some roles are disgusting, but they are very enjoyable to play, such as Gao Minglou, who is unscrupulous in order to achieve the end, but his conscience is not clear, and when facing Gao Garin and Gao Garin's parents, he always unconsciously has some micro-expressions and micro-movements. He has a "play".

Lin Yongjian was deeply impressed by a bridge, "Gao Minglou was ashamed of himself, so he took fifty yuan to Gao Garin. In those days, this was a lot of money, and he was trying to compensate, which was the other side of Gao Minglou's humanity. ”

Enriching the characters with various details close to life and bridging the audience's sense of alienation is a great weapon for Lin Yongjian to shape the characters.

One lucky one

However, in Lin Yongjian's film and television character territory, Gao Minglou may not be the most conspicuous one.

He is a native of Qingdao, and since he was a child, he likes to imitate other people's every move. Qingdao has produced many well-known actors, in the seventies and eighties of the last century, there were often films to Qingdao to shoot, ears and eyes, Lin Yongjian gradually liked the profession of actor.

Small eyes, a sly look when smiling, such a face was not pleasing in the entertainment industry at that time. After entering the drama troupe, for a period of time, he had to work on the spot, run tricks, pull the curtain, and hit the light.

In the eyes of others, this is sitting on a cold bench; In Lin's view, this is an excellent learning opportunity. Actors should understand the stage, spray smoke, change props, and trivial work can at least make people familiar with the stage, and there will be no stage fright on the stage in the future.

"Although I can't act, can I watch it? No one took away my right to see the theater, right? I can imitate it, right? No one deprives me of the right to imitate either, right? When he pulled the curtain on others, he thought, "If I play it, how will I act?" ”

There is nothing to do, he often studies the words of the actors on the stage, memorizes the lines of large and small characters, and starts from the Guangdong boss in the drama "City Bugle", and his acting skills gradually mature.

This experience also eventually became a valuable life asset. A long time later, the sketch "Decoration" had to be rehearsed, and Lin Yongjian was called to "set up the script", and one person played the triangle, and the effect was surprisingly good.

On the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the "Tianjin Big Sister" who was reversed by him was wearing a pink sweater and a fashionable curly hair, and the lines of Tianjin Wei'er immediately attracted laughter.

"Decoration" became popular overnight, "What for, why what!" "Become an enduring hot meme on the Internet. More audiences remembered Lin Yongjian because of this, it turned out that this actor who looked unattractive was full of drama.

"I am a lucky man, very grateful for the work "Decoration", and also very grateful for the platform of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala." The only thing that made him regret a little was that due to the shortage of time, "Tianjin Big Sister" could not completely change her clothes, otherwise the effect might be better.

This popularity also depends on Lin Yongjian's previous accumulation, "The Spring Festival Gala is a stage, these three characters, I only know how to act and how to step up if I have experienced stage performances and communicated with the audience." ”

Actors are "acting like what"

"What is an actor? An actor is to play a dragon like a dragon, a tiger like a tiger, and what to act like. After decades in the entertainment industry, Lin Yongjian has always regarded this passage as a guideline.

As an actor, he is actually a person who is not very satisfied with the status quo, and after becoming famous in dramas, he wanted to try acting in TV series. One year, in the TV series "Peaceful Times" cooperated by actors such as Zhang Fengyi and You Yong, Lin Yongjian played a Guangdong boss.

Later, he chose to change jobs from the army and "drifted" all the way to Beijing, feeling that there would be more performance opportunities here, so he ran crews and auditions everywhere to find suitable roles.

Can't play the protagonist, Lin Yongjian is not discouraged, "An actor with an image like me can't be a starring actor right away." I had to play small roles on the edges, slowly get the audience to know you, understand you, and then start changing. ”

As the drama gradually opened, he played more and more roles, Wang Huaidang in "The Legend of the Heroes of Lü Liang", Da Zhuang in "Golden Wedding", General Deng Hua in "Changjin Lake"... There are many characters, but they are not confusing.

Someone asked him what the secret of acting was, Lin Yongjian said that actors can't play themselves, "If you play yourself, one work, two works can be, three or four may be, and when the audience sees the fifth, they may not be able to watch it." ”

He is very good at pondering the play, and when playing the villain Tan Zhongshu, he discussed with the director and screenwriter, and added the character of "Tan Zhongshu's mother" to the play. Aside from work, Tan Zhongshu accompanied his mother to walk and beat his mother's back, adding a touch of family affection in human nature.

Playing a farmer who loves to plow the fields, he raises his hands like a complete crop man. I haven't been in the countryside since I was a child, so I made up for this lesson, and Lin Yongjian walked to the filming site every day during filming, and chatted with farmers with interest when passing by the fields.

"I have to learn, ask people what they grow. Second, I play a farmer, stepping in the dirt, what posture do I walk? What action? It's all a joke. He believes that living to learn is the charm of acting.

Be a caring person

Acting for many years, Lin Yongjian has won many awards. He always believes that actors have to go deep into life and take root in the people, that is, to observe life, experience life, love life, embrace life, and be a person with a heart.

The three religions and nine streams in society, all kinds of people, etc., may be the object of Lin Yongjian's observation. When visiting the park, he encounters an old man and an old lady quarrelling, he will quietly stand behind and listen to the whole journey, tirelessly, if one day to play a similar image, then there is a fulcrum.

Lin Yongjian feels that walking the red carpet and winning an award are all appearances. Taking root in the people is the basic foundation. What is rooted people? That is, the characters you create must have vitality, and you have to enter the hearts of the audience.

For filming, he couldn't understand certain behaviors, "Good guy, as soon as you walk there, live in a five-star hotel, stretch out your hands to eat and open your mouth, and go to the scene like an uncle, what are you shooting?" The characters created in this way are neither vivid nor vivid. ”

Be good at learning from life, which is a compulsory course for actors. When he was in the army, he learned dialects from his comrades from all over the world, so that when he played the role of "Tianjin Big Sister", he spoke authentic Tianjin dialect.

After the popularity soared, "popular or not" was not the focus of his attention, three hundred and sixty lines, the line came out of the top, "As an actor, just do your thing steadily, and the play will be over." ”

With the support of the excellent character image created, the actor can make the audience remember it in their hearts for a lifetime, which is also a goal of Lin Yongjian's struggle and the direction of his life's efforts. (End)
