077 Afraid of Comparison

Unlike most old actors who have become monks and entered the entertainment industry halfway, Ding Yongdai is a professional and has received systematic learning.

I have nearly forty years of acting experience and have created many classic characters. I naturally have a deep understanding of how to integrate into characters and decorate characters.

Faced with Yan Lin's doubts, he did not rush to answer, but asked back: "What preparations did you make for this character before coming to the crew."

"I want to hear the truth." He added.

His expression was very serious, and he had the attitude of getting out of me if you dare to lie to me.

Yan Lin didn't dare to lie, and said truthfully: "I memorized the lines, summarized the characteristics of Li Su's characters, and then figured out how to express these characteristics.

Also, I picked out every drama that has a lot of emotional fluctuations and is more difficult, and I have practiced it at home several times."

After he finished speaking, Ding Yongdai did not comment on this, but asked, "Then tell me what kind of person Li Su is."

Yan Lin knew that this was verifying whether he was lying, but he was not panicked because he was really prepared.

"First of all, he is a lazy person. In other words, he just wants to be a handsome man quietly, without any big ambitions, just wants to be a rich man quietly.

In his eyes, his family is bigger than everyone else, but he does not lose his passion at critical moments..."

Ding Yongdai nodded and said, "I'll tell you what preparations I have made."

"I won't say what you just said, because these are just basics."

"In addition to the preparation of the script, I have also read a lot of history books, including biographies about Emperor Taizong of Tang, about the customs and customs of the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the court etiquette, and... "

While speaking, he made all the preparations he made.

He classified everything he needed and copied it into his notebook. Each one was very thick and the script was written in a dense manner.

Yan Lin was stunned. He studied everything related to Li Shimin.

He had thought he was very prepared before, and now he wanted to find a hole to drill down, but this person was afraid of comparison.

He's just a supporting role.

Although the role of Li Shimin is very important in the whole drama, in terms of roles, in addition to the male and female protagonists, they can only be ranked fourth or fifth at most.

But he has made so much preparations for such a role, and the protagonist himself...

There is no harm without comparison!

Just as he was thinking, Ding Yongdai continued: "If you want to integrate into this role, you must first understand the character's personality, his living environment, his background and ideological style, the more detailed the better.

Only when you understand all aspects of him can you integrate into him and become him."

"Teacher Ding, do you make so much preparations for every role you play?" Yan Lin couldn't help asking.

Although he didn't know how many roles Ding Yong had played, after decades, there were dozens or hundreds of them.

If every character has to be prepared so well, how much does it take to learn!

Agent Ding Yong nodded for granted.

"Of course, if you don't know more about the role, how do you take on this role?

If you play a policeman, do you know the police organization? Do you know the division of labor and types of policemen? Do you know the police's gun posture?

I don’t know these most basic things. How can you believe that you are a policeman? If you don’t believe that you are a policeman, how can you make the audience believe that you are a policeman? Isn’t that a play?"

"You don't have to dig into some things, but you must know."

"If you act in a costume drama, you have to understand the background of that era and act in a modern drama. You don't ask you to really experience this profession for a few months. After all, the times have changed and the industry has changed. It is difficult to do this, but at least you have to understand this profession through some methods. This is the most basic quality of an actor."

He became angry as soon as he talked about this.

The entire industry is now in chaos, actors do not think about their roles when acting, screenwriters do not associate with reality when writing scripts, directors have no right to speak for filming, and capital investment is randomly involved in people...

The birth of every bad drama is innocent.

He glanced at Yan Lin. The impression this young man gave him was different from that of others. Although the preparations he made for the role were incomparable to his own, it was already very sufficient to compare with other peers.

This is an era where even memorizing lines can be praised as dedication.

Other young men always use substitutes for filming, and often complain about hardship and fatigue, but he did not say a word today.

Although he acted differently from other young and handsome guys, how long can he last in this big dyeing vat?

This industry has been ruined by capital.

Maybe when he becomes really popular, when he receives the notice, he will become a crew before he can take a look at the script. In order to go out to make money, he will leave a substitute on the crew to film for him.

At that time, will he still ask others for advice in order to play a good role?

Ding Yong talked a lot on his behalf. When he returned to his room, Yan Lin recorded all of this.

To be honest, tonight's consultation subverted his perception of actors.

Although he has studied with Old Man Ma for two years, Old Man Ma is not an actor after all. What he teaches is from the director's perspective and often ignores some things.

Tonight, Ding Yongdai taught him something from the perspective of an actor.

An excellent actor should have deep skills and necessary artistic cultivation, extensive knowledge and fulfilling life experience.

Actors need to do a lot of desk work, deeply understand the role, and have a sense of image and styling.

You must be good at controlling yourself and keep yourself in your role.
