The evenly thin pages carried an amount of information that was incompatible with its weight. Xie Qingyan was reading, thinking, and recalling. When she turned to the last page and confirmed that the content of this interview ended here, her first thought The reaction is not the sudden realization that the question has been answered, nor the satisfaction of reading the detailed materials, but the unspeakable helplessness.
"Someone has gone bad, I won't say who it is." Xie Qingyan stared at the solo picture of Qin Jue on the inside page of the magazine and muttered, "This is the first time I have seen an actor who avoids the important and takes the easy."
To be fair, the writing skills of Xu Congbai, the chief reporter of "A Hundred Years of Light and Shadow" are very good, and Qin Jue's answers are both interesting and in-depth while also being sincere. Even readers who are not interested in this magazine and this actor accidentally turn to this article. Exclusive interviews with characters will also make you feel that the content is worth reading.
However, only friends like Xie Qingyan who really knew Qin Jue and had accompanied her all the way could see that this guy was not telling the truth.
You kid, you really don’t even mention the hard work of filming.
Xie Qingyan's part as Qingqing was angry. In fact, it can't be said that he didn't mention it at all. However, the style of his answer was too Qin's. The classic "don't complain about the hardships you can endure" and "you shouldn't share your duties." "Bitter or not", the actor she likes is so harsh and indifferent to her that it's hard to describe. In all the self-narratives related to filming in the article, Qin Jue's tone can be called indifferent, more like using God's perspective to analyze the mood and state at that time. , regardless of how much such a cold narrative combined with the incident itself will cause a critical blow to the people who really care about her and feel sorry for her.
But being angry, Xie Qingyan had to admit that as an ordinary audience member, she was deeply attracted by Qin Jue's attitude and style, and sincerely appreciated the actor's personality and charm. I deeply admire her character.
"……madman."
After a while, Xie Qingyan's complicated emotions turned into a light complaint. She sighed and clicked on the analysis draft titled "A brief analysis of Qin Jue's 'immersion' acting skills - taking "Rain of the Day" as an example". After reading for a long time, she finally deleted this line and typed a new one. A new title with strong subjective meaning and strong emotional color.
"I fell in love with a crazy actor"
…
My colleagues often come to me and ask me if I can write an article like "Qin Jue's guide to the trap" or "Let you get to know Qin Jue" so that they can sell Amway to passers-by.
But in fact, as long as you put pen to paper (typing on the keyboard), you will definitely understand that feeling, the confusion of not knowing where to start, not knowing how to introduce Qin Jue comprehensively and in detail, and after thinking about it, I feel that there is still something missing. I felt relieved as soon as I wrote it down.
So every time, I delete, modify, and go around in circles, and in the end I can only say:
"Qin Jue, he is an actor."
If you want to know more, please go see his works. If you want to know more, please see the behind-the-scenes shooting, daily recording and broadcasting, etc.
Because after getting to know him deeply, you will find that it is difficult to describe Qin Jue. He has no so-called "personality" and does not follow certain logic or people's expectations to speak and do things. He is a living and complex person. , his state, emotions, and strength are changing, and he has different principles and standards when facing different things.
Call him handsome? Yes and no, because neither Mawson in "Daytime Rain" nor the middle-aged father in the sketch "Fathers and Sons" are good-looking in an objective sense. Whenever he takes on a role that is fat or ugly, I have no doubt that I will soon see a Qin Jue who is not handsome at all or even "horrible".
Say he is dedicated? Yes, indeed, what is the standard for professionalism? In the eyes of some people, arriving at the set on time, memorizing lines, and appearing in real-life scenes is considered professionalism. Calculating it this way, the characters must have biographies that have been analyzed and compiled in their own writing; they have to lose weight like crazy for the show regardless of their health; they need two weeks to go from basic to proficient in sign language; and they almost have to play a deaf-mute who shouts into a white voice. What kind of dedication is Qin Jue's dedication to losing his voice, hanging on wires for a long time while doing a trapeze, having his real hair bleached completely white and then dyeing it back again within a day or two, and filming a scene where he fell off a cliff without having to have a stand-in dive repeatedly face down? ?
That he loves fans? Yes, I have not given fans a payment point since my debut. I have chartered cars to pick up and drop off fans offline at my own expense. I also paid for annual game center membership cards for fans. I don’t want the fan ecosystem to be unnecessarily strangled by the outside world. So I bothered to make a website and an APP by myself, with all the functions available, including clear regulations on how to tag fans when writing CP fanfiction, how to avoid lightning, and how to calculate copyright and authorization for peripheral printing. However, so far, they have prevented any guidance from fans and resolutely resisted Fans are notified to brush up their data, and fans are strictly prohibited from building websites privately to raise funds and follow offline activities. But when fans express their dissatisfaction by pointing fingers, they just roll their eyes and start complaining?
That he has a good personality and takes care of others? This brings up the topic of standards again. How do you call "being able to take care of people"? Whether it is handing a bottle of water to others, or silently working behind the scenes as an all-round brick, from being on camera to filming, to directing action performances, from coordinating the crew, negotiating cooperation with external parties, leading internal teams, to preparing heatstroke prevention materials at one's own expense, I usually pack up the equipment with the workers, and treat the whole crew to a meal and massage after the filming is completed. In short, I can't help but be helpful?
So it’s okay to say that he is versatile and versatile, right? He can do literary and martial arts, pseudo-voice change, camera lighting, dialects and foreign languages, singing and dancing, composing and arranging lyrics, playing piano, guitar and drums, programming and coding to assemble drones. He is even proficient in it, but it’s funny that he himself doesn’t I admit it, the only profession I have recognized is being an actor. I complimented him a few times and he said, "Don't make trouble. What is omnipotence? It's an insult to omnipotence. Don't brag to the sky."
So Qin Jue is really complicated. There is no way to introduce him to a completely unaware passerby with just a few words, and there is no way to quickly establish his true, vivid and three-dimensional image.
After all, Qin Jue has no label on him.
You can hastily use some marketing descriptions to create an impression in your mind of a "good-looking", "strength", and "old father", but these are obviously not enough to summarize Qin Jue.
Even what I am going to say next is only part of what I understand about Qin Jue.
In my mind, Qin Jue is a stubborn old man.
You rarely see people like him at his age: steady in work, mature in temperament, paranoid in character, seemingly good-tempered, but actually very stinky.
The last person I met like this was my grandfather.
The old man in my family is very fond of collecting, especially stamps and commemorative coins. If you reach out and touch him or say a few words, he will immediately start blowing your beard and staring at you. It’s nothing more than his love.
The same goes for Qin Jue. If you talk to him about acting, he will chat with you from day to night. When you try to persuade him to stop acting so hard, he will respond with "Who are you?", "I'm happy", and "Can you care? ?" Sanlian.
This person is like this, both popular and angry.
He has many double standards, including but not limited to the fact that he cares about and cares for his fans, but the fans feel sorry for him, but he says it is not necessary, or when he is in bad condition, he eagerly goes home to find fans to post, but does not allow the fans to comfort him when they are sad. You have to say less, just stay with him, or something happened to him outside, and he was wronged, cheated, or misunderstood. The fans were anxious to death. He said, don’t be anxious first, and don’t be impatient. At the beginning, We agreed that if you have something to do, I'll come first. You just stay here and don't worry about it.
This man can be quite annoying sometimes.
I don’t know where the machismo comes from, and I regard gritting my teeth and carrying it as a medal of my manhood.
(Crossed out) Sister-in-law, look at him! (cross out)
Therefore, it is not recommended to chase Qin Jue when chasing stars here.
The best and most comfortable thing is to just be a fan of his. If you have a movie, watch it. If you don’t have a movie, wait for the official release of the next movie. Anyway, he personally promised that he hopes that when everyone watches his works, "you won't feel... It’s not worth the price of admission or a waste of time.” This sentence has been tested many times so far and is worthy of belief.
So, let’s talk about “Daytime Rain”.
First of all, congratulations to Mr. Qin Jue for winning the "Best Actor" award at the 82nd Venazzola International Film Festival and becoming the first Longzhou "Pearl of the Sea" actor in thirty years. Your strength is well-known and your achievements are widely expected. I look forward to your future works.
Secondly, "Daytime Rain" is still being released, and there is currently no complete film source. All analyzes in this article rely on the author's personal records of watching the movie and popular film reviews on certain platforms, Vblog and other platforms. Errors and omissions cannot be ruled out. Please Look at it dialectically and never believe everything.
In addition, this article takes the plot development of the film as the main axis, focusing on the experiences of the character Mo Sen and his actor Qin Jue on and off the screen. It is occasionally mixed with anecdotes. It is quite long and includes videos and pictures. Please read as appropriate.
【·Drama Face·】
Mo Sen's first appearance was outside the cafe where Qiu Xue worked.
Before close-ups of faces, close-ups of hands appeared. It was an extremely thin hand. The palm and back of the hand were very thin, not much flesh could be seen, and the joints and blood vessels were obviously protruding. It was very hideous. Although the skin color was too white, Mawson did not have the albinism in many works. This kind of ethereal and elegant beauty is only sick, unhealthy and abnormal.
Then came the real appearance. Messy and frowning eyebrows, cheeks so thin that the cheekbones protrude, and two deep lip arcs.
There is no need to elaborate on the level of makeup in "Daytime Rain", but before the makeup was created, Qin Jue himself looked like this.
This is a still from "The Cage" [picture.jpg], with wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a thin but well-proportioned figure.
This is a screenshot of the V blog recording from early November to late November last year [Picture 1.jpg] [Picture 2.jpg] [Picture 3.jpg]. The audition for the role of "Daytime Rain" was on November 27 last year. No. Within a month, you can clearly see that Qin Jue's personal appearance has changed from "Young Chi Na" to "Mo Sen", and this is just preparation for the audition.
This is the final makeup photo of "Rain in the Day" [picture.jpg]. Her eyes are bulging and swollen, with dark circles, her limbs are as thin as a junior high school student, her shoulders are hunched, her complexion and temperament are completely opposite to those before, and she is like two different people.
Here are some screenshots taken after "Daytime Rain". From left to right are "A Day of Overtime", "Father and Son", "Empty Monument", "The Furnace", "Feiyan", "Who is the Detective", "FROZEN" and "Heart Shadow Link".
[Long sided picture.jpg]
"The roles I have to play are different, so of course I have to be different too. Isn't that what actors do?" - Excerpt from Qin Jue's "A Hundred Years of Light and Shadow".
Qin Jue is the face of the drama.
Even if judged by the strictest standards, there is no doubt that he is an actor with dramatic face.
In terms of attitude, he has consciousness; in terms of temperament, he has acting skills; in terms of appearance, he has an almost pathological perseverance.
None of these three elements will work without any one of them.
Moreover, at this stage, there is no medical beauty, drug, fitness, or diet method that can make a person go from [V blog recording screenshot.jpg] to ["Daytime Rain" makeup photo.jpg] in about 20 days.
One conclusion is obvious: Qin Jue adopted very extreme methods to achieve his goal.
Since he quickly recovered his health after the filming of the movie, I won't comment much here. All I can say is that I hope that all actors and teachers will not resort to eating vegetable salad every day, drinking only water, forcing yourself to stay up late to lose weight, or using more unknown methods to lose weight.
Although I know very well that Qin Jue probably won't listen.
He didn't even listen to what Director He said.
[Text quote: At the "Daytime Rain" press conference, Qin Jue said that he struggled to hold on during the filming, but He Xu accused him of "this is damaging your career life." In response, Qin Jue said that he would not do it next time dare. ——"Film and Television Weekly"]
I didn't reflect on it well afterwards. ("Day Rain" was completed in early March, and "The Furnace" was shot in early June)
[Video quotation: "The Melting Pot" filming behind-the-scenes Qin Jue's white voice audition + "The Melting Pot" courtroom performance clips + "The Melting Pot" commentary session Qin Jue subconsciously signed in sign language and raised the microphone but could not make a sound.flv]
As the saying goes, if you are not crazy, you will not survive. Perhaps it is this pursuit of the role and the performance that is so extreme that no one can understand it, which makes Qin Jue perform the role of Mo Sen so vividly and perfectly. As a passerby, I am shocked and admired; as a movie fan, I am grateful and appreciative; as a fan, I am proud and sigh.
【·Voice and Lines·】
"I think actors must have a spirit of self-dedication. When performing, everything about you belongs to the character. Your body, emotions, voice... everything does not belong to you." - Excerpt from Qin Jue's " A Hundred Years of Light and Shadow".
Qin Jue has many practical and eye-catching skills, but they are always hidden and will only be revealed unexpectedly when acting, such as switching voice lines.
Strictly speaking, "voice" or "voice" is not fixed. A person's timbre depends on the part where he or she sounds and the resonance cavity. As long as they master the skills, most people can make their voices higher or lower.
However, there are still only a few actors like Qin Jue who have a wide vocal range and can make good use of it.
So far, all of Qin Jue's works have his original voices.
For works where conditions permit, the original sound will be recorded on-site. For works where conditions do not permit, Qin Jue will also dub the works himself later.
The original work of "Day Rain" mentioned that "(Moson's) speaking voice was low and hoarse with a hint of sweetness." Qin Jue restored this voice to the greatest extent in the movie. He maintained this voice no matter during filming or during the period of preparing for the audition.
Not just Mo Sen, the father's rough male voice in "Fathers and Sons", Qin's younger brother's teenage voice in "The Empty Monument", the hoarse white voice of the deaf-mute boy Qin in "The Furnace", Qin Feng's voice in "Who Is the Detective"? With a magnetic bass and even a standard female voice in cross-gender interpretation, Qin Jue, as he said, dedicated everything to the role, including his voice.
[Video Quote: Shocking! This voice actually came from him? ! |Qin Juesheng line collection|Continuously updated.flv]
As well as the equally important lines in the four basic actor skills of "sound table line".
[Video quote: Qin Jue practices reciting his lines | daily recording and broadcasting slices.flv]
"The same is true for lines. You need to open your voice first and exercise your vocal cords, tongue, and oral cavity. First, let the hardware not hold you back and make your speech clear. Then you can exercise your soft skills, that is, giving emotions and adding appropriate pauses and breaths. .”——Excerpted from Qin Jue’s “RayE/Miaoying Gathering”.
"At that time, he (Qin Jue) carried three notebooks with him when he was reading the script. The black one was Mo Sen's character biography, and the blue one was marked with the rhyme, intonation, breath tone of the lines, as well as the corresponding emotions and mentality of the character... ."——Excerpted from Wang Ming's "Lens Tracking" interview.
The young Chi Na played by Qin Jue in "The Cage" has no lines, but in "Day Rain", taking the restaurant conversation between Mo Sen and Tian Gang as an example, his voice and lines are professional enough, not only emotionally It's in place, the enunciation is clear, and no details are missed.
For example, Mo Sen smokes all the time and rarely drinks water, so Qin Jue's voice flexibly becomes hoarse on the basis of low hoarseness, and has an intermittent dryness, making the role more realistic.
Another example is the memory killing in the woods on a rainy night, when the young Mo Sen instigated Cao Hao to hit He Ye. His calm tone at that time, his tail tone that suddenly rose due to excitement, and his soft tone that dropped when he encouraged, even saw Cao Hao cowering. , so he lost his patience and cursed irritably, all reflecting Qin's superb control of his lines. While it is full of emotions, the rhythm and tension are also handled extremely well.
As for Mo Sen's heavy breathing, struggling to swallow when he committed the murder, and his loud roar when he was in a mad state, considering that Qin Jue was still an actor who mainly focused on immersive acting at the time, here we do not rely on line skills. Analyze and appreciate from the perspective.
【·Immersion School·】
[Text quote: Regarding his debut as the leading actor, Qin Jue, who had little acting experience at the time, said that in order to successfully perform Mo Sen, he could only keep hypnotizing himself, "You are Mo Sen". ——"Film Review"]
In Qin Jue's own words, immersive acting is "unprofessional" and "wild".
"I became a monk halfway, and what I was exposed to from the beginning was 'real acting'. Then the life experience of the second character (Moson) has many similarities with myself. It can be said that I became an 'immersionist' naturally. 'actor."
"My approach is to completely empathize with the character. If there are similarities, I will let the character cover me. If there are completely different parts, I will lose my own personality and let myself completely become him. In this kind of 'complete In the case of "immersion", I and the character are one, just like being "possessed", so some subconscious thoughts and behaviors are actually made by the character. During the acting, I don't even know why I do it. Do this."
——Excerpted from Qin Jue's "RayE/Miaoying Gathering".
Qin Jue always said that his method was a trick. He is right, there are many details in "Daytime Rain" that are incredible but make sense if you think about it carefully.
One of them is a clip of Mo Sen calling Cao Hao in the kitchen and asking him to come over and help kill Tian Gang. At that time, Mo Sen tilted his head and held the phone between his hands, freeing his hand to wipe the kitchen knife. Judging from the range of movements, he did not wipe it carefully and meticulously, nor was he too perfunctory. What really made me notice this was a small detail: Mo Sen's hand holding the rag would pause from time to time. Even though the wiping had stopped, his fingers seemed to still be moving.
I couldn't understand it at first and thought it was a sign of his anxiety and irritability, which was why he had this kind of ADHD-like behavior. Later, when I picked up a kitchen knife while cooking, I realized that this little action was actually digging into the knife surface with my nails.
It is oil spots, vegetable scraps or other stains. Because the owner did not take good care of the knife, it sticks to the surface of the blade and is not discovered until the next time it is used. Mawson was scratching them off with his fingernails.
I don't think Director He would implement such details when telling the drama.
So I boldly speculate that this may be what Qin Jue said, something that the character did spontaneously after "possessing" the actor.
There is a similar scene, as well as the one that has been mentioned repeatedly by other film critics: "After Moson killed the employee who had just returned home with a knife, he sat back at the table to eat noodles without changing his expression."
"Watching Qin Jue's performance, you can see a lot of surprises and a lot of scares. When he is in an immersive state, which is what we commonly call the state of being in the drama, many of his actions have never been arranged in the script. One of the scenes was a murder scene. After finishing killing people, Qin Jue walked back with a knife, went to the kitchen to find food for himself, and started cooking noodles. Suddenly, no one thought at the time that he would suddenly Do this. After shouting "Card", I asked him what he thought and what was the reason for adding this scene. In the end, he was even more confused than those of us sitting behind the monitor. He just said to me: "Because I was hungry at the time." I'm hungry, so I need to eat.'"
——Excerpt from "A Hundred Years of Light and Shadow" by He Xu.
This paragraph is horrifying whether you read Director He's written description or recall the plot scenes in the film.
At the same time, it also proves that it is actually difficult to criticize Qin Jue's acting skills in "Daytime Rain" because a large part of what he does and performs can only be described as "natural", which is a kind of improvisation. A natural, mysterious "feeling" rather than a performance with a clear purpose.
It sounds really magical, as if the two channels of Ren and Du have been opened, and you can enter the "state of letting nature take its course" without much effort, and present a wonderful performance.
But as the classic saying goes, "All gifts given by fate have been marked in secret." There is no such thing as a free lunch. Although immersive acting has its merits, it has to be said that this kind of immersive acting has its own merits. The drama method is so extreme that many immersion actors live in the shadow of their characters throughout their lives, being shrouded in the character's life experiences and influenced by the character's outlook and emotions, to the point where they lose themselves and constantly endure suffering and torture.
...In fact, when Qin Jue was playing Mo Sen and filming "Daytime Rain", he was definitely not in normal condition.
6100+. I didn’t finish the word count last night, so I just updated the three-in-one version from 6.1 to 6.3. (The result is still not finished)
Tomorrow will be June 4th, so there will be no updates to the text. I will update the materials.
