As soon as the Spring Festival holiday ended, there was a big move on our screen, and a drama "Ice Hunting" appeared quickly.
As soon as this drama comes out, it is really eye-catching, let's talk about the anti-drug police and bandit fight, but the cast and plot settings, there is really no one.
Don't worry, let me pick up the highlights of this play. You know what?
The yellow wig, pink dress and black dress, plus a pair of fishnet stockings, a big red lip, and sunglasses to cover the face, this look is the focus everywhere.
Who do you say this is? Huawei's second princess, Yao Anna! Yes, you heard it right, it was she who jumped on our screen with a different identity.
This is Yao Anna's TV series, acting, to be honest, everyone's reaction was a little cold.
Except for staring and frowning, there were few other expressions to be found. The audience shook their heads when they saw it, why is this the female number one? Playing with an old actor like Zhang Songwen is really surprising.
Not to mention, as soon as this drama came out, there was a lot of discussion. Many people bluntly said, is this a game of capital?
But then again, the drama "Ice Hunting" can really attract attention. The male advocate Songwen's acting skills**, plus Yao Anna is such a special heroine,There is also a big director like Gao Qunshu directing, which is difficult not to watch.
After the broadcast, everyone's mood was very complicated, some people went to Zhang Songwen, and some people wanted to see what tricks the second princess of Huawei could perform.
As a result, I watched a few episodes and complained. Everyone said that the highlight of the play was mostly in discussing its topics, rather than the script itself or the acting.
But this incident has also given us a lot of inspiration, not everyone in the entertainment industry can break into it casually, and it is not possible to act casually if you have fame or background.
Acting skills really have to work hard, and they have to be really sharpened. The audience's eyes are bright, and they are looking forward to real art, the kind of performance that can move people's hearts.
The appearance of "Ice Hunting" has undoubtedly given everyone a lot of topics. But it also reminds all the actors that no matter how hard the backer is behind you, what the audience ultimately buys is your real acting skills.
I hope that our film and television industry can pay more attention to the quality of the worksLet the audience see more good dramas, not just topics.
Unexpectedly, at the peak of the storm, the director of "Ice Hunting" came out to speak for Yao Anna.
First of all, let's talk about this director Gao Qunshu, does it count as having two brushes?
In fact, Gao Qunshu is a well-known director and screenwriter in the Chinese film industry, and his works are mostly known for their profound themes and superb production, which have won wide acclaim both inside and outside the industry.
His masterpieces include, but are not limited to, two masterpieces, "The Wind" and "Conquest".
"The Wind".A spy suspense film co-directed by Gao Qunshu and Chen Guofu, the film has been highly praised by audiences and critics for its tense plot and complex character relationships, and is also highly regarded for its successful balance of artistry and commerciality.
ConquestIt is also an earlier work, showing the complexity of human nature and the impact of social changes on the lives of individuals by telling the life challenges and psychological changes of a couple.
With its profound theme and delicate emotional description, the film has received a good response both inside and outside the industry. The most famous is the sentence "Is this melon ripe?" ”
Gao Qunshu's status in the circle is highly respected, and he is respected not only for the artistic achievements of his work, but also for his professionalism and innovation in filmmaking, script writing and directing.
Gao Qunshu is good at integrating profound social themes and humanistic care into commercial films, and his films can often touch the hearts of the audience and provoke people to think deeply about social phenomena and human nature.
In the industry, Gao Qunshu is regarded as a director with depth and responsibility, and his pursuit of film art and sensitive insight into social issues have earned him a place in the Chinese film industry.
His work shows his love for cinema and his relentless quest to explore humanity and society.
In other words, this is a veritable good director, so why did he explain it to Yao Anna? The reason is the "walking on thin ice" filmed in this "Ice Hunting".
At the beginning of the spring of that year, Director Gao Qunshu's mobile phone rang, and a ** from Dalong Investor, the microphone went straight to the point: "Director Gao, how about we cooperate to make an anti-drug drama?" ”
Without much thought, Director Gao agreed, thinking that this was a new challengeThe script was just a prototype at first, and there was no police line.
Later, Director Gao found an old partner, and the young director Gao Han plunged into the plot, and the two pondered and decided to join a police line - but it had to be a little new, so I made a female police protagonist
The idea of this character is really novel: imagine a character who often messes things up and makes little oolongs at every turn.
On the surface, she looks like she has just come out of a comedy, and she is ignorant about the investigation work, and there are scenes of being in a hurry.
But behind this, she has an unknown military career, the tenacity and acumen that have been honed in the rigors of training, and occasionally flash at critical moments, which is impressive.
Despite her lack of practical experience, her courage and persistence in dealing with tasks make people have to re-evaluate this seemingly unworldly "stunned".
Every time it seemed that she was about to fall short, she was always able to rely on her unique perseverance and previous basic training to turn the danger into a disaster and show a different heroic nature.
As soon as this setting came out, all major platforms shook their heads, "This is changed and that is changed", but money is tight, Gao Dao gritted his teeth, "Let's just do it!" "I plan to make a low-cost drama that relies entirely on non-professional actors.
Director Gao revealed in the article, "In this play, the investment is not even 40 million. He also said that he has filmed a lot of low-budget dramas in his life, but it is really the first time in 20 years that he has demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall like this drama.
How poor is the crew? Director Gao and the actors are piled up in dozens of small hotels, and the bathhouses are all public, not to mention the props, the props are staff meals, and the police cars are also ragged and tattered brought casually, except for the props master and Su Xin, no one else will open it.
Not to mention the main creators of art and modeling, all of them are newcomers, and a big drama has never been filmed. As for the actor's salary, it is even lower to the dust, and Su Xin, who plays the policeman, has a direct zero salary.
This is the story behind Ice Hunt. From preparation to shooting, every step was challenging. Director Gao and the team relied on the spirit of "desperate Saburo" to shoot this drama.
This is also the reason why Zhang Songwen and Yao Anna were chosen as the starring actors.
Through Zhang Songwen after the fire of "Hurricane", he has done a lot of interviews and reports, and everyone must understand that he is a good actor who has been playing tricks for 20 years in exchange for today's brilliance, and he is not a person who blindly "looks at money", and Gao Qunshu praised Zhang Songwen's acting skills very much, and the two people in the industry who worked hard with their strength naturally sympathized with each other, so they cooperated in this drama.
So how did Yao Anna come about? Gao Qunshu actually said that it was because "the actors are simple and cheap!" ”
In the film industry, director Gao Qunshu is known for his unique casting eye.
He prefers non-professional actors who are as pure as a blank slate, believing that they can best present the most authentic and moving side of the film.
It was against this background that Yao Anna, a new face without any performance background at all, walked into his sight.
At the beginning, Director Gao knew almost nothing about Yao Anna, except that she had never set foot in the film and television industry. But it is precisely this that makes Yao Anna a treasure in the eyes of Gao Dao.
The casting principle he has always adhered to is: "The more untrained the actor, the more natural the performance." ”
He believes that actors who have been trained in the acting department for four years often carry too much skill and artificiality, which is contrary to the realism he pursues in cinema.
In Director Gao's directorial career, he has directed many worksThese films make heavy use of non-professional actors, and they have achieved good results.
These successful experiences have made Director Gao full of confidence in the use of non-professional actors, and also strengthened his casting habits.
When Yao Anna appeared in front of him, her unpretentious natural state with no traces of performance immediately captured Gao Dao's heart.
Her image and temperament coincide with the image of a fledgling, simple and natural female policeman in Gao Dao's mind. "Especially, I haven't had a facelift. ”
Gao Dao silently commented in his heart, this is exactly the kind of innocence and naturalness he wants.
Yao Anna is like a breath of fresh air for "Ice Hunting", and she joins not only because of her external image, but more importantly, because of her unpolished purity and potential.
Director Gao believes that it is this innocence that can make the drama "Ice Hunting" different and bring the audience a new look.
Yao Anna's choice, although it seems to the outside world to be full of risksBut for Director Gao, this is in line with his concept of finding the realism of the film.
He firmly believes that Yao Anna can add a unique charm to "Ice Hunting" through her most natural performance. This is not only a bold use of newcomers, but also a profound embodiment of the pursuit of authenticity in film art.
At that time, as soon as "Ice Hunting" was launched, Yao Anna's acting skills were on the hot search. After all, her acting skills are really immature in front of the camera, and compared with Zhang Songwen's "drama bones", the gap is like a primary school student challenging a university professor, which can be seen at a glance.
But having said that, many netizens also stood up for Yao Anna.
They said that if we put the family forces behind her first, and simply look at the debut of this newcomer, her performance can actually be regarded as quite hard.
After all, what newcomer hasn't come from scratch? Just because Yao Anna has some power behind her, let's completely deny her efforts, which doesn't seem fair.
I remember that Yao Anna was still in tears in front of the camera, and said aggrievedly: "I don't know why, everyone likes my sister, but they treat me so coldly." ”This is really sour in people's hearts.
Therefore, the story of "Ice Hunting" continues, the play has not yet ended, and Yao Anna's performance remains to be seen.
Perhaps, as the plot deepens, she can bring us some unexpected surprises!
Let's not rush to conclusions, continue to watch, and see what kind of brilliance this "blank paper" Yao Anna can show on the screen!
