What is it like to be an actor?

If an actor wants to move the audience, he must first move himself. If an actor wants to lead the audience into the world of drama, he must jump into the world of drama without hesitation.

The so-called entering the drama is an experience of putting yourself in other people's shoes. When you are truly aware of the situation you are in, acting can be completely free. But it must be used in moderation. We often see actors unable to act out of the play. We clearly know that he is playing a situation, and he is not the character himself, but we cannot distinguish between reality and fiction, resulting in being too deeply involved in the play.

1. In "Farewell My Concubine", when my brother was taking a break on the set, he looked like a kid from a troupe.

When filming the door of the mansion, Song Xiaochuan took Jiang Wenli to Fumanlou Restaurant to eat hotpot mutton. The mysterious guest that day was Leslie Cheung who came to Beijing. Upon seeing Jiang Wenli, Leslie Cheung excitedly shouted: "Isn't this my mother?"

2. There was a scene in "The Dark Knight" where the clown was so good that he scared the actress who was starring opposite him. Crying, it is rumored that Heath Ledger committed suicide because he got too deep into the scene while playing the Joker.

Said in an interview: "He locked himself in a hotel for weeks just to study this role. He is always so involved, but this time he went too far - He wants to interpret every bit of this character. He has to bear the dark, twisted, and self-struggled side of this character alone."

3. "Atonement" - -Although you didn't say anything, I could clearly see through your eyes that your heart was crying.

Many people admire actors who are unable to extricate themselves after "entering the scene" and feel that it represents selflessness and concentration, which is a kind of self-sacrifice. But in fact, truly talented actors are still subconsciously restraining themselves even when they are most engaged in the play.

You have to feel it without reservation, but express it appropriately.
