In the past two years, acting programs have been very popular, and the variety show “Actors Please Get In” has recently rushed into hot searches.
Performing is very interesting. The barriers to entry are very high, and it usually requires professional training. But the evaluation threshold is very low, because it is for the public, so everyone can say two things.
Many netizens sighed after watching the performances of young actors: “The acting skills of actors nowadays are not as good as one generation.”
But for this matter, in the variety show “Dream Chaser: Opening and Closing Life”, the old opera bone He Bing put forward a different view: “It is not quite right to talk about acting first, it seems very Professional, not very professional.”
When we talk about acting, what are we talking about? How can a qualified actor be counted?
After reading the next story told by Teacher He Bing, I believe you will have a new understanding of these issues. And it’s not just performances. Behind each of our lives, there is an important supporting framework, and this thing is most worth looking for and discussing.
“Technology” is never the most important thing
In 1999, Teacher He BingIn Beijing Renyi, a big event happened.
The theater rebuilt the theater that year and wanted to launch a play, which was a remake of Lao She’s “Tea House”.
It is said that a remake of a play is not a big deal, but this play is too classic-Douban scored 9.3, it is a masterpiece of Renyi. Many actors who participated in this play can be called performing artists.
This remake requires a change of actors. In order to train the new actors, the old gentlemen all come back to teach them.
Of all the classes, the one that impressed He Bing most was the class of Zheng Rong.
The 75-year-old man sat in front of the stage and said, “We played the teahouse for a lifetime. I played Chang Siye.” Then he pointed to the early video and said frankly, “Look, I did it. There is nothing right. This is very wrong. I will tell you what I thought…”
After speaking, I took out the video of the later version of “Tea House”:
“This is a bit shadowy, but it is still not good enough. What was the mistake I made at that time? Your generation must not make this kind of mistake.”
In the play “Tea House”, Mr. Zheng Rong has played for 34 years. After so many shows, he has been constantly summing up, discovering mistakes, and then continuing to improve.

Although He Bing could not remember the specific details he said at the time. But an old gentleman remembered his attitude and thinking about a very successful work in his life.
Mr. Zheng not only had the courage to deny himself at the time, but also told the young people of his mistakes. In He Bing’s view, this is a great heritage.
This kind of inheritance does not lie in every move. “His moves belong only to him. You can’t learn it if you tell you, but we can learn his attitude towards the profession.”
It’s like playing golf,Every player’s swing is different. The key is that you have to understand the sport and know how to use your body to fight. This is called posture. The rest are details. The ability to integrate these things.
Going back to acting, “Skills are just the little cherries on the cake, and more importantly, the dreams and ways of thinking that support you behind them. Without these, what would you use skills to express?”
Why acting is obviously more important than how to act. That’s why Mr. He Bing said that talking about acting is actually not professional.
In previous interviews with the show, he also expressed the same view:
“There is one of the biggest minefields, that is, most of the acting is performing emotions and sprinkling dog blood. It is not emotions, behaviors, actions… Even if people are excited and emotional in life , The first thing to do is to control emotions.”
It is the dream that supports the attitude
While discussing the performance, Mr. He Bing mentioned a word that we are familiar with but don’t really want to talk about-dream.
Because we think the term is too far away, so far as we last talked about this topic, we were still in elementary school. When we grow up, “dreams” seem to disappear in our lives. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that the thing that supports our lives is actually a dream.
Life is made up of one dream after another. This process is not all smooth sailing. There are good dreams and nightmares.
Just like when Teacher He Bing was admitted to the acting department of the Central Academy of Drama, he thought it was a good dream. Because under the influence of his family, he dreamed of becoming an actor since he was in elementary school.
As a result, this kind of dream came true, and the superiority of the favored son of heaven lasted only a short week. The next four years of college life were a torture for him.
There is a saying that is particularly good, “Don’t take your hobbies and challenge others’ professions.”
Performing at that time was a hobby for He Bing, but after he was admitted, he would receive professional training. He Bing thought that he could already get into the acting department at that time, but only when he met a professional army, he realized that he knew nothing.
Speaking is wrong, there are no words, the voice is scattered, and the body is scattered. Anyway, the four subjects of the sound table are not right.
This kind of blow is devastating to a person’s self-confidence.
The dream of “I will be an actor right away” has turned into a nightmare of “I have no experience in acting”. He Bing was not the only one, but many students at that time had this feeling of disillusionment.
But the teacher just wants to break their original sense of pride and way of thinking, and force the students to create something new.
In the process, some people really couldn’t bear the blow and chose to give up. But He Bing felt that this was his dream for a long time-and he was already on this road, it was impossible to run.
In this way, after four years of hard training, he entered China’s most prestigious professional theater, Beijing Renyi.
Being accepted by Renyi is undoubtedly He Bing’s highlight momentOne, but the following rehearsal took him off again.
When I was in school, whether the teacher scolded me or criticized me severely, it was still a training process without facing the audience. But it doesn’t matter if you enter the theater, this has become a real effort. The director is very polite, because he treats you as a professional actor.
“Didn’t you finish college? You should know this.”
But in fact, He Bing felt that he didn’t know anything at that time, and he finally took a scene.
Summarizing his state in eight words, he was trembling, walking on thin ice.
What is famous, big celebrity, these thoughts have long been thrown out of the sky, the most important thing is to do the current things first.
There are many experienced old artists in Renyi, but just like the teacher Zheng Rong mentioned earlier, they don’t talk about acting easily, and are more willing to use behavior to influence young actors.
Because they don’t think acting can teach you something, if you don’t have it in your heart, it’s useless to say it. It’s better to act well first.
In this way, He Bing started to practice with a long-term tactic. After hundreds of collaborations with old artists, he gradually opened the door to acting and finally became the leading role.
This has been another four years.
If there was no support from the dream of being an actor at that time, it would be difficult for He Bing to stick to it.
The result is not the most important
In the Q&A session of the show, a girl from Peking University asked an interesting question.
She said, “In life, we actually have many dreams that are difficult to achieve.In this situation, should we choose to persist or give up? “
This question was actually answered by Paul Coelho in “The Shepherd Boy’s Fantasy Journey”.
Many people have heard of the stories in the book. It is nothing more than the process of the shepherd boy San Diego looking for treasures inspired by dreams. There is a classic saying, “When you want something, the whole universe will work together to help you realize your wish.”
Many people feel that this kind of statement is too idealistic. But in fact, the meaning of this sentence does not mean “as long as you work hard, you will succeed.” At the end of the novel, the boy discovers that the treasure is hidden in the place where he used to herd the sheep.
Walking around and discovering that the origin is actually the end, it’s just that the self standing in the same place is different—”Even if he never reaches the pyramid, he will go farther than any shepherd he knows.”
This is the meaning of dreams: the process of pursuing dreams is more important than results.
In response to a question from a girl from Peking University, Teacher He Bing said:
“If you achieve this dream as a result, it may be a tragedy, but if you harvest from the process of achieving your dream, you may have a rich life.”
In addition to interviews and questions, Shu Shan Jun had a deep feeling about Mr. He Bing’s high-burning speech at the end of the program.
In the speech, he summed up the best mentality when chasing dreams in four words-already entered.
The meaning of these four words must start from a scene.
A few years ago, He Bing was going to play a basketball coach in a play. When he was experiencing life, he found that an old coach trained to shoot in a very special way. He did not direct the player’s movements and skills, but clapped his hands and said: “Don’t think too much, make the action, you have already entered! Remember, you have already entered!”
At this time, two kinds of people appeared on the court.
A kind of player picks up the ball without thinking, stretches out and makes the action, one, two, three, and the ball is thrown into the basket one after another.
There is another kind of player who is very serious. After holding the ball to the basket and shooting it out, you find that he is waiting. Can you get in? Can’t you enter? The goal rate of this kind of person is very low.
Why do people who have heard the words “have scored” score more goals? The ball is clearly still in his hands, how can I score?
Later, he discovered that this sentence actually moved forward the time to finally reach that state-when the ball enters the frame, the player’s psychological motivation is the most sufficient, and this motivation supports the entire technical framework.
The technical framework is easy to practice, but our hearts must be firm, because any inner fear or hesitation will affect the entire framework. This is also the reason why many skilled players tend to make mistakes in free throws.
This principle also applies to the process of pursuing dreams. It is very important to have a firm belief that “has been in”.
