China News Service, Beijing, February 27 (Reporter Shangguan Yun) Among the recently released films, “Article 20” directed by the famous director Zhang Yimou is a very prominent presence, with constant topics and word of mouth counterattack.
Among them, the rookie prosecutor Xiao Wang played by actor Liu Yitie did not have many roles, but he also left a deep impression on the audience. In an interview with a reporter from China News Service, he shared his feelings about working with director Zhang Yimou, and also talked about the acting experience he learned: A competent actor should pay attention to details and express the character through details in order to convince the an audience.
As for his plans for the future, he said he wants to “keep his head down and work hard.” “I guess when I was studying at China Opera, our hands were so nervous before we went on stage for the first time. The teacher said eight words: Do good deeds and don’t worry about the future.”
How did it feel to work with director Zhang Yimou?
In “Article 20”, Liu Yitie plays a rookie prosecutor.
This character has the immaturity of entering the workplace. In the office, the prosecutor Han Ming and Lu Lingling exchanged messages. His cell phone kept ringing, and he would look around curiously. At the same time, he was full of a sense of justice, and he would break into tears when he saw the truth of Liu Wenjing’s case being revealed.
For Liu Yitie, participating in “Article 20” was a rewarding filming experience. He said director Zhang Yimou was very serious on set and would point out problems to the point.
“He will express what kind of effect he wants the actors to perform.” Liu Yitie learned a lot from him, and almost all of them are practical experiences that actors should have, and cannot be taught in school.
In fact, “Article 20” is not the first time that Liu Yitie has collaborated with director Zhang Yimou. In the previous hit movie “Sniper”, he played the role of the scout Liangliang, who was not afraid of sacrifice when faced with the test of life and death, and only thought about how to complete the mission.
“Director Yimou is an amiable and approachable elder in daily life. At work, he is a strict teacher.” Liu Yitie concluded that while filming “Article 20”, Director Zhang Yimou was always very focused, smiling and unsmiling.
He mentioned in detail, “Brother Jiayin was very funny when he was acting on the set. He often made the director and us laugh. When he returned to work, the director was still very careful.”
Becoming an actor: learning how to express a character from the details
Since joining the entertainment industry, Liu Yitie has appeared in film and TV dramas such as “Glory Ping Pong”, “Beyond”, “Sniper” and “The Long Season”.
Recalling his decision to study acting, Liu Yitie bluntly stated that there was really no special opportunity. He tried to apply for acting with the mindset of giving it a try, and then naturally became a student at the Central Drama Academy. “This makes me feel honored.”
“I didn’t have a very concrete understanding of acting at the beginning. I thought it was interesting to experience other people’s lives.” Liu Yitie gained a very deep understanding of acting after he entered the Chinese Theater Academy to study. “I found that acting has a sense of mission. Yes, we need to be responsible to the audience.”
Because of this, he believes that every work he appears in has allowed him to accumulate valuable experience. For example, while filming “The Long Season”, I was very lucky to meet Xin Shuang, a unique director.
The filming process of this drama also left a deep impression on Liu Yitie, “Before we shoot, we usually walk around like crazy, sometimes 7 or 8 times at a time. When the director and the actors are satisfied, we will officially shoot more scenes. Just passed.”
In the words of Liu Yitie, “The Long Season” is a process of co-creation on the site, with everyone having their own output and taking the best. By learning from senior actors, he realized that competent actors should pay attention to details and express their characters through details in order to convince the audience.
How to sharpen your acting skills?
In the field of acting, Liu Yitie has his own idol. “When I was a sophomore, I needed to do a report performance. When I was collecting images, I saw the tension of Professors He Bing and Chen Daoming on stage, and I wanted to become an actor like them.”
As time passes, Liu Yitie also thinks about how to make her acting skills more mature and natural.
“The characters played by actors are all human beings, and different professions mean they take part in more professional types of work.” He gave an example, “I played the policeman Shi Lei in “The Third Brigade”, and I played the policeman Shi Lei in “Article 20″ He is a prosecutor, so I will start with their work and understand the daily work flow and the things they come into contact with.”
When there is nothing to do on the set, Liu Yitie will sit behind the monitor and quietly study the performances of his predecessors. “When I get the script, I will first go through it in my mind how I want to act, and then I will think if there is something new and look for a suitable one.” angles to shape the characters better.”
When the film and TV series in which he starred are aired, he will pay attention to netizens’ evaluation of his role. “The good aspects will continue to be maintained. If there are some criticisms, I will reflect on myself and make corrections.”
Regarding his future acting career, Liu Yitie’s principle is to “keep your head down and work hard.” “It’s like when I was studying at the Chinese Opera, our hands were shaking with nervousness before we went on stage for the first time. The teacher said eight words: Do good deeds and don’t ask about the future . I’m a firm believer that the road is at your feet, just do it and you’re done.”
