Guide
In front of the camera, the actor devotes himself to the role, follows the role setting, and shows specific personalities such as calmness and restraint. For example, in a historical drama, the actor plays a majestic emperor, who must always be solemn and solemn in front of the camera, and his words and deeds must conform to the image of the emperor. They take off their carefully prepared costumes and change into simple and comfortable casual clothes, no longer bound by their roles. The actors, who were originally unsmiling in the play, would easily communicate with the staff around them at this time, share interesting stories during filming, and even make some innocuous jokes. They may sit casually in chairs, fiddling with their hair, with a relaxed expression and a hearty laugh. The contrast between the front and back of the lens is not incomprehensible. In front of the camera, they shoulder the heavy responsibility of shaping the character, and they need to restrain their true character in order to meet the requirements of the role. And behind the camera, they can finally let go of this burden and show their true selves to the fullest. This contrast allows the audience to see the multifaceted nature of the actors, and also allows the audience to better understand the complexity and diversity of the actors' work, thus narrowing the distance between the actors and the audience.
The other side of the actor when he rests
"You must be wondering, what are we all doing while filming?"
When the camera stops and turns, when the lights go out, are you curious about how those beautiful boys and beauties on the screen spend their rest time?
What did you do during the break?
From front of the camera to behind the camera
The actors walked down from the camera, took off the coats of their characters, and also faded away from the solemnity of their performances, and came to us among the accompanying people.
And at this time, their state is very different from the image we saw when we saw it.
Yes, it's the person who greeted you, the person who handed you water, and the person who ate with you, they're all actors!
They took off their costumes, changed into civilian clothes, and fiddled with their hair, talking and laughing.
At this time, they are no longer as calm and restrained as the image in the play, but have become lively and cheerful.
The contrast between the front and back of the lens is not difficult to understand. In front of the camera, they need to play a specific role, so they will converge their personality traits; Behind the camera, they can express their individuality to the fullest.
In this way, the audience will naturally like and approach them more.
The actor's real personality and sense of humor
During the breaks, the actors' sense of humor and authentic personality make them more attractive and make the audience love them more. Just like Zhao Wei when she was filming "Huanzhu Gege", she was a gentle lady in the play, but she was a lively and laughing pistachio when she was resting. Once in an location shooting, everyone was tired under the scorching sun, and Zhao Wei often said "I have long legs" to make everyone laugh. When filming court scenes, she had interesting interactions with Lin Xinling, dressed as Ruoxi's mother-in-law and other roles, and also took a "modern version" of photos, which made everyone happy, and even the staff praised her for not being simple. Through these, we can see Zhao Wei showing her personality to the fullest during the break, not sticking to the image in the play, so as to win more love from the audience.
The emotional connection between the audience and the actors
Not only Zhao Wei, many actors will show a relaxed and happy state during breaks, such as Liu Xiaolingtong when filming "Journey to the West". Although he plays such a solemn role as the Buddha in the play, he is an easy-going, laughing and troublesome person in life. He would also hand cigarettes and water to the staff, and even invite everyone to eat duck cake. Such an aspect allows the audience to feel the charm of his personality, thus creating an emotional connection between the audience and the actors. This connection is crucial to an actor's career as it leads to more recognition and support. Therefore, the actor shows a relaxed and happy state during the break, not only to please the people around him, but also to get closer to the audience.
Observe the hard work and dedication behind the actors
Showing a relaxed state during filming does not mean that the actors are not working hard, and the effort behind them is often far beyond imagination. For example, when Liu Yifei filmed "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", she became famous at the age of 18. At that time, it was a scorching summer, the location shooting time was long, the temperature was extremely high, everyone was tired and hot, and as the heroine, she was even more stressed, but she never complained. Whether in front of or behind the camera, she strives to put her best foot forward. When filming on location, she responds quickly to the care and care of the staff, and often eats and chats with everyone, giving people a sense of intimacy. Because of this, the audience likes her even more, and can also feel the hard work behind her, and then establish an emotional connection.
epilogue
However, there is controversy about how the actors perform during breaks and this connection between them and the audience. Some people believe that the relaxed state and personality display of the actor during the break time is just a show, in order to maintain his image and attract more fans. They believe that actors should be more focused on improving their acting skills than on trying to get our attention. While others believe that the actor's true self during the break is a sincere performance, which can allow the audience to understand them better and get closer to the audience, which is beneficial for the actor's career development. For the hard work and dedication behind the actors, some people feel that this is their duty, because they have received high remuneration and great fame. But there are also those who believe that no matter how much they are paid, the efforts of actors should be respected and recognized, and their hard work cannot be ignored because of the particularity of their profession. There may not be an absolute standard for how these issues should be viewed, it depends on the individual's values and understanding of the actor's profession.
