TVB's 70-year-old veteran actor Lu Wanyin recently appeared on the YouTube program "Xiaohong Blowing Water Station" by Yang Shaohong, the behind-the-scenes person. In the show, she unreservedly shared some of her views on the current TV circle. Lu Wanyin spoke straightly, she said that there are a lot of young actors with a bunch of assistants around them, and some of them are very rude. What's even more surprising is that she also broke the news that she had the experience of being taught acting by young juniors. However, she didn't care too much, and felt that it was better to be comfortable and how to come.
Lu Wanyin and Wu Huanyi, both of whom are well-known acting schools in the circle, not only did they co-star in the classic TV series "Zhumen Resentment" in the 70s of the last century, but they are also good girlfriends outside the play. Although they have played the role of green leaves in the play for most of their lives, they have been following the development of the TV industry for decades, personally experiencing the whole process of this circle from its rise to change, and deeply experiencing the ups and downs brought about by every step of the ups and downs of the TV industry.
When Lu Wanyin talked about the situation in the TV industry today, she was full of emotion: "I think we were deeply taught by those great masters in the theater industry back then, but now the situation is very different." Even a vote of people singing with a good voice came to film, to put it bluntly, many people just want to make money. She also added that many young juniors nowadays are not from professional classes, and their acting skills have not been honed in place, and they even dare to teach others to act, which makes her quite worried.
Also as a veteran in the film and television industry, Yang Shaohong spoke from a behind-the-scenes perspective, pointing out that some companies over-package their own artists in order to maximize profits, which makes the entire film and television industry a mess. They see these actors as pure cash cows, leaving behind respect for the arts and long-term considerations for talent development.
From the discussion between Lo Wanyin and Yang Shaohong, it can be seen that people have different views and feelings about the development of the current TV industry. Older actors believe that today's television scene is different from what it used to be, full of utilitarianism and commercialism, and some behind-the-scenes people have criticized agencies for over-promoting artists. This also reminds us that the reform and development of the television industry is still facing many problems and challenges.
Yang Shaohong questioned the company's practice of hiring a large number of staff to serve young artists, and Wu also pointed out that they were puzzled by this practice: "When we went out to film, the whole room was packed. Because we don't have such experience, we don't understand this. Lu Wanyin also chimed in: "When we were filming "Season", Deng Biyun came to work alone, why did he bring six or seven people? It's stupid! I feel disgusted when I see those people following the artists on location, one person carrying an umbrella, one person holding tea, and one person giving a fan, it's too much! What the hell is wrong with people now? ”
Wu Huanyi further said: "Even Fa Ge (Chow Yun-fat) will not do this! Lu Wanyin believes that such a trend cannot exist for a long time, and believes that the current film and television industry is very different from before. The three of them all smiled and pointed out that some artists who are not very popular also have a similar situation, Wu Huanyi said: "Isn't it possible to be popular without these staff?" ”
Lu Wanyin and Wu Huanyi, two old drama bones, talked about their experiences when they first debuted, and admitted that they did not receive too many personal teachings from their predecessors at that time. Sister Wu Huanyi said frankly that now she has taught a lot of acting experience to the new generation of actors, and the results are quite remarkable. However, Lu Wanyin quipped: "Oh, this is not good, if people say that we are too harsh, it will be unbearable!" ”
Wu Huanyi then shared her observations, pointing out that there are some differences in the attitudes of juniors in the film industry and newcomers to TV stations. And Lu Wanyin imitated the mentality of some new actors who she thought were not humble enough, and said with a smile: "What if I don't act well? Isn't the next drama the same as the protagonist! Although both of them are currently semi-retired and enjoying the comforts of life, if they come across a role and script that really suits them, they are still willing to come out again and bring wonderful performances to the audience.
