Yang Mi. As a veteran actor, she has been in the entertainment industry for 34 years! Feeling a little surprised? Me too! This sister is not only beautiful, but also has good acting skills, which is simply a clear stream in the entertainment industry.
However, Yang Mi seems to be a little confused recently. She realized that her acting habits might have fallen into some sort of rut and needed some new challenges to improve herself. So, the brave sister decides to leave behind her old acting habits and look for a new challenge.
This leads to the first character we want to focus on today - acting teacher Guo Ertai! This Mr. Guo is a clear stream in the entertainment industry, and he has put forward a series of strict requirements and guidance, including being on call in the rehearsal hall, ** movie lists, and observing characters and relationships. We all know that to be a good actor, you need not only solid acting skills, but also a deep understanding of the character and the work. And Mr. Guo hopes that through these requirements and guidance, he will help Yang Mi re-examine his performance and improve his performance level.
Under the guidance of Mr. Guo, Yang Mi soaked in the rehearsal hall with several actors every day and rehearsed small clips together. Teacher Guo also assigned Yang Mi the first homework, which is to observe people, observe everyone's personality, language habits and the relationship between them.
Yang Mi's hard work and courage are admirable. She has been acting for more than 20 years, and her acting skills have become a part of her, but she has not stopped learning and improving. She wanted to be able to present a different state from the perspective of a true actor, which required her to put in more time and energy, but she did not hesitate to choose this path.
In February, we witnessed another important turning point in Yang Mi's performance journey. This time, she not only chose an acting teacher, Guo Ertai, to guide her, but also personally devoted herself to the filming of movies and TV series. However, the filming scene inevitably exposed some of Yang Mi's performance habits that needed to be adjusted.
Let's take a closer look at Yang Mi's performance habits in filming, especially her relationship with the camera. At the filming site of the movie "There is No Thing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" and the TV series "Harbin 1944", Yang Mi sometimes deliberately looked for the camera, and sometimes subconsciously showed a more charming side of his face. This kind of performance habit may be rooted in the long-term experience of filming idol dramas, but director Zhang Li believes that in a spy war drama, such an acting style does not meet the needs of the character Guan Xue.
Why? Because the role of Guan Xue needs to be suspicious and cold-blooded, not a perfect camera angle. Director Zhang Li profoundly pointed out that some directors may pay more attention to the appearance of the actors than the scenes when filming idol dramas, which leads to the formation of some muscle memory of the actors. However, in a series about spy warfare, this aesthetically pleasing style of acting will obviously undermine the authenticity of the characters.
Secondly, let's focus on Yang Mi's eyes. At the beginning, the lighting team and the photography team were full of praise for Yang Mi's performance, saying that she was a good actor, and she only needed to give some light casually, and the overall effect was quite good. However, it soon became clear that this style of performance did not meet the needs of Guan Xue's character. In the play, Guan Xue is the head of the secret service section of the puppet Manchukuo, ruthless, suspicious and cold-blooded. And Yang Mi's overly bright and watery eyes made the director feel that something was wrong, because it was far away from the coldness and scheming that the character should have.
Finally, let's take a look at Yang Mi's way of saying his lines. In the past, she had a habit of not opening her mouth when speaking lines, and closing her mouth after a line was finished, so as to ensure that she was always in the best state when the camera captured her. However, Goltai points out that this kind of performance habit is not conducive to the realistic presentation of the character. In the role of the chief of the secret service section, too much pursuit of appearance and beauty will distort the character's personality, which no longer meets the requirements of spy war dramas.
On the whole, Guo Ertai put forward a series of adjustment requirements for Yang Mi's performance, not only to break through the past performance habits, but also to allow Yang Mi to better serve the role. This process is not only a personal challenge to Yang Mi, but also a manifestation of her continuous pursuit of progress and depth in her acting career. It is expected that in future works, Yang Mi will be able to appear in front of the audience with a more realistic and three-dimensional character image.
Under the guidance of Guo Ertai, Yang Mi began to think about more in-depth questions: Is the so-called beauty needed by the role? She needs to step out of the beautiful box, break some established acting habits, and focus more on the needs and presentation of the role.
In general, Yang Mi constantly challenges himself in the cooperation with Guo Ertai, constantly adjusts and improves his performance level. Her hard work and courage deserve our recognition, and we look forward to showing more different character images in her future performances and bringing us more wonderful performances!
