Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 724 Me and my movie
In the first two years of the broadcast of "Let's Talk", in order to increase ratings and attract audiences, entertainment celebrity guests accounted for a large part of the program.

In the past two years, the number of invitations to entertainment stars has been gradually reduced, and the number of invitations to guests from all walks of life such as culture, technology, sports and even business has been increased.

Of course, some people in the entertainment industry can still receive invitations. For example, Lu Chuan was invited to give a speech in the first episode of this year. He is also the only film and television staff to appear on the stage of "Let's Talk" so far this year.

It’s hard to say whether it’s popular or not. The publicity effect of the program “Let’s Talk” is not very good, and the film and television circles don’t attach much importance to this program.

The program "Let's Talk" is positioned as an open class on young people's thoughts, and it seems a bit far away from the entertainment industry.

Zhang Yuanjun is the second film and television worker to appear on "Let's Talk" this year.

This episode airs on Saturday.

After the host Xiao Sa finished the opening commercial, he introduced the guests of this issue:
"Everyone, today's guest speaker is incredible." Xiao Sa shook his head.

"The female directors of our program team went crazy when they heard it was him. Is it him? Is it him? Is it really him?" Xiao Sa imitated his colleagues' expressions when speaking, which caused laughter from the audience. "I He said otherwise I won’t be hosting this episode and you guys will come on.”

"Okay, without further ado, let's invite our guest speaker today, a national first-class actor, the first Golden Rooster, Golden Horse and Golden Statue Grand Slam Best Actor in the history of Chinese films, double Best Actor at Cannes and Venice, a famous actor, Liu Yifei's husband..." Live Laughed.

Xiao Sa asked: "Have you known about our program before?"

There was thunderous applause and the entire audience stood up to welcome Zhang Yuanjun from the middle aisle to the stage.

"Why did you choose this way?"

"Because the first-class actors, this best actor and that best actor, are all based on their identity as actors, and then Yifei, a job and a family, are the two most important components of my life." Zhang Yuanjun explained.

Xiao Sa pointed to the six young representatives sitting in front: "They are the ones who did this kind of thing. As a friendly reminder, one of the six young representatives here today has a doctorate in film."

"I didn't want to be a film and television actor at first. I wanted to be a drama actor. I think the stage is the place where an actor can shine. In my first year of college, I arranged almost 40 sketches and student plays. I was in our class. Most of the time, they come to me for help if they can't deliver a sketch.

"I know, I heard that your show will make it difficult for guests to come off the stage." Zhang Yuanjun said.

"Later, I was successfully cast in Guihai Yi Dao. After the performance, I found it quite interesting. It was completely different from acting in a drama."

Shaking hands with Xiao Sa, Zhang Yuanjun was wearing casual clothes and a pair of white sneakers.

"But I still came today because my agent said that there is a first time for everything. If you have never tried giving a speech, you should go and see it. Actors pay attention to feeling the world, and you should experience giving a speech."

"I was just thinking, how about I submit a resume? After all, my school is called the Film Academy. Acting in a TV series is not a waste of time."

Zhang Yuanjun stood on the stage and began his speech: "Actually, the program "Let's Talk" approached me several times. I was invited when the program was founded in 12, but I always refused. Because the programs we did before were all It’s mainly interviews, a question-and-answer format, and I’ve never had to stand here alone and talk for dozens of minutes.”

Xiao Sa said: "Okay. The rest of the time will be given to Zhang Yuanjun and he will give a lecture for us." After Xiao Sa finished speaking, he exited the stage, leaving Zhang Yuanjun alone.

Turning around, he asked Zhang Yuanjun: "Among the titles I applied for just now, which one do you like best, national first-class actor, Chinese triple gold medal winner, Cannes-Venice double best actor, famous actor and Liu Yifei's husband?"

Xiao Sa said: "Everyone, please sit down, please sit down."

"Many people know me from the role of Gui Hai Yida. The TV series "The Best in the World" has been aired for 11 years. I would like to use "The Best in the World" to talk about how I got into film and television. of."

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "Then I will deal with it well."

"Zhang Yuanjun."

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Yuanjun."

"Later, in 04, some classmates in the class were already filming outside. For example, the classmate named Liu, right?" The audience laughed.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "Let's be an actor, and then Liu Yifei's husband."

"After that, I thought acting was fun, and I continued to think and learn on my own while acting, until now."

Zhang Yuanjun spoke for half an hour, systematically reviewing his career as an actor in the past 12 years, and expressing his love for the job of acting: "Our life is too short, and the world is too big. There are too many and too complicated. I am very curious about each one of them. Is there anything more interesting in the world than getting a script and experiencing the story's ups and downs, a character's joys, sorrows, birth, old age, illness and death?

The theme of Zhang Yuanjun's speech can be summarized as "Me and My Movies", but he mostly downplayed the awards he won.

Finally, he encouraged everyone to chase their dreams bravely: "Because it will really come true. Thank you everyone."

The host Xiao Sa came on stage, holding a small piece of paper, and said with a smile: "While you are talking, the audience is writing small pieces of paper asking questions. It's too bad for them. Nowadays, young people don't know what to think, and they ask all kinds of strange questions." "

"It's okay, I've encountered all kinds of problems." Zhang Yuanjun said.

Xiao Sa asked the first question: "Do you three brothers and sisters fight? Do you lose more or win more?"

After Xiao Sa read this question, he felt helpless: "I just talked about movies and dreams for a long time, and you just remember the fight between their three brothers and sisters."

The audience laughed.

Xiao Sa emphasized another question: "Can you fight?"

"Fight, once every two or three days." Zhang Yuanjun said, "From the age of two, when we have a sense of competition, we three brothers and sisters will fight. My brother is five years older, but he is only seven or eight years old. He doesn't know yet. They said they had to rob everything in the house if they wanted to give it to their younger siblings. If they couldn't get it, they would fight. My sister and I fought the hardest. I usually lost more than I won."

Xiao Sa asked: "What's the funniest thing in your memory?"

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "I'm too young, I don't remember it. My mother told me this. My brother was so bad at that time. He was seven or eight years old at the time and could eat a bowl of rice. He would tease us at the dinner table. "I can eat a bowl of rice, but you can't." "My sister and I were only two or three years old at the time, and I was very competitive with my brother. If it didn't work, I would have to eat a bowl as big as mine," Zhang Yuanjun said. He gestured, "You can imagine how a two- or three-year-old baby can eat so much. It was filled to the throat and before I could finish the bowl, my dad said I couldn't finish it, forget it. I can eat so much food." It was so awesome that my sister and I were still dissatisfied. We were so angry that we pounded the table and screamed. Later, I couldn’t eat it anymore. My mother gave my brother a lesson and said, why are you hiring them?”

Zhang Yuanjun can tell a lot about the trivial things that happened when the three brothers and sisters were young.

"How will the relationship between you three brothers and sisters be like when you grow up?"

Zhang Yuanjun said: "Very good, we are really like elder brothers like father. My brother is very good to us, but my sister is still the same as when she was a child. She often quarrels with me."

Xiao Sa added: "Siblings, especially those who are about the same age, and you are twin siblings, the way to express feelings is to fight and make noise."

Zhang Yuanjun nodded: "Yes, if one day she says very seriously, Third Brother, let me tell you something, the hair on my head will stand up."

Xiao Sa entered the next step: "Okay, the rest of the time will be given to the youth representatives." He asked a girl to stand up, "Pang Bo, what do you study?"

The girl said: "Ph.D. in film."

The audience and Zhang Yuanjun gave her applause.

Xiao Sa asked her: "Are you familiar with Zhang Yuanjun's movies?"

"It's familiar." The doctor said, "We also need to study acting in film studies. Teacher Zhang Yuanjun is an actor that we must study and analyze."

"Then how did you analyze Zhang Yuanjun?" Xiao Sa asked.

The doctor said: "Our professor said that Teacher Zhang Yuanjun is being chased by God to feed him."

Zhang Yuanjun did not admit this and quickly refused: "No, don't say that." Because saying this would be tantamount to negating the efforts he had made to act well.

Xiao Sa said: "It's okay, let's listen to what she has to say."

The doctor continued: "It is said that you are very talented and very sensitive to the disturbances in the outside world. You can transform the wind, rain, thunder and lightning you feel in the outside world into your inner emotional reserve. In front of the camera, you can come up with different things at any time. . Our teacher also said not to learn from your acting, because if you don’t have the talent, you can only learn to be different.”

Zhang Yuanjun said: "Actually, I don't think I'm a talented actor. When I played Gui Hai Yidao and Yang Guo, I was scolded a lot. My performances in the first two movies, "Famous" and "Animal World" were also average. Let’s look at it now.”

Xiao Sa said: "Then who do you think is the real talented actor?"

"Zhou Xun, from abroad, I think it's Al Pacino." Zhang Yuanjun named two actors he likes.

Xiao Sa agrees with this answer.

Xiao Sa said that the youth representative was very sharp, but judging from the performance of this doctor of film studies, she liked and respected Zhang Yuanjun very much.

Because she is in the industry, she knows what Zhang Yuanjun's abilities and achievements mean.

However, the next youth representative was not so polite. He was a boy. He stood up, took out his own small topic board, and said: "What I wrote on the topic board is, the theater road is narrow."

He went on to explain: "I am an ordinary viewer who cannot understand very advanced things. I have watched several of your movies, and I found that you always play some unhappy characters. Loneliness, melancholy, and depression are the undertones of these characters." . Including several of your award-winning roles, I think you have a narrow range of roles, and after watching a few movies, will you feel uncomfortable?"

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "No. You are the audience, of course you don't have to like this movie and this character. This is your freedom.

"As for what you said about the narrow playing field, I won't talk about professionalism here. In fact, I am also very distressed. Why do so many bitter and hateful characters come to me? I also want to play some lively roles. What you said Very good, I am continuing to learn and expand my performance boundaries." Zhang Yuanjun "humbly" accepted the views of this young representative.

Zhang Yuanjun didn't want to tell him that everyone's depression and loneliness are different, and he handles the loneliness of each character differently.

Another female representative stood up and first expressed her love for Zhang Yuanjun: "I am your fan. I have watched all your movies."

"Thank you." Zhang Yuanjun smiled.

The girl held up her small title board with the word "greedy" written on it. She said: "As far as I know, this summer's summer promotion period for "The Invisible Guest" and the performance of your play "Camel Xiangzi" The times are highly overlapping, but you do both, running promotions during the day and performing at night, without skipping a beat. This includes the Venice Film Festival, where you performed "Hypnosis" in the theater, running promotions and participating in film festivals are also your job. Will you worry about others saying you are too greedy?"

Zhang Yuanjun admitted that he was greedy: "I just thought that I am still young and have enough energy to play more roles. "Camel Xiangzi" and "Hypnosis" were both planned last year and cannot be changed. I am greedy. It is indeed greedy. When I see a good story and a good role on TV, I will think, why didn’t their crew find me? I can act. If I were asked to act, what would I do? All the good stuff has been done.”

"Don't you feel tired?" the youth representative asked.

"No, you like this thing, you want to do it, how can you feel tired? I run promotions during the day and go back to the theater to perform at night. I am very fulfilled and happy." Zhang Yuanjun really doesn't feel tired doing this.

Another youth representative stood up and mentioned a question that many people wanted to ask: "Before you came on the show, I checked your information. You were born in 85 and are 31 years old this year. For an actor, you are You are very young, but your achievements can be said to be the best in the world." He praised first, and the audience also applauded.

"But I find that in the film and television industry now, many people who are about your age or a few years younger than you are taking the popular route and are acting like little fresh meat. In the past two years, the market has also been criticizing little fresh meat. "

The audience wants to hear this, and Zhang Yuanjun is qualified to answer this question.

Zhang Yuanjun said: "Some unhealthy tendencies are really harmful to the industry. The film market cannot be all Xiao Xianrou and their works, there will also be high-quality products, but if Xiao Xianrou's works account for a large topic, every time A movie becomes famous all over the world, but once the audience sees it, they feel that it is not worth the ticket price. Over time, the audience will not only not believe in Xiaoxianrou, but also the entire film industry.

"I don't care what movie you have, I won't watch it. There are so many ways to entertain you now, why do you have to go to the cinema to watch movies."

"But don't think too pessimistically about the problem. They will not become the mainstream. The mainstream of the market still belongs to actors who play good people or are good at it.

"We still hope that the market can return to rationality. Many leaders, experts and professors in our industry are already discussing management methods. Don't worry, there will be a solution."

At the end of the program, host Xiao Sa once again thanked Zhang Yuanjun, and everyone stood up and applauded.
