World Book Day ｜ Let’s take a look at the performers’ bookshelves!

Special feature of 1905 film network Today, a long time ago, a beautiful princess was trapped in a deep mountain by a dragon. The warrior George defeated the dragon alone and saved the princess. In return, the princess gave him a book as a thank-you gift.

Therefore, from then on, on April 23rd, every year, Spanish teenagers gave gifts to each other. Boys gave girls flowers and girls gave books back. April 23rd became Rose and Book Day, which was naturally designated as World Reading Day by UNESCO.

As if it were an appointment, the famous playwright Shakespeare and Spanish writer Cervantes both died on this day, while many writers, such as American writer Nabokov, French writer Maurice Derouen and Icelandic Nobel Prize in Literature winner laxness, were born on this day. Make the World Reading Day on April 23rd more scholarly!

Nowadays, most people seem to prefer to invite friends to watch a movie, but few people choose to read a heavy book alone. But movies are never far from literature. When reading, we may think of a movie scene, and in many movies adapted from literary works, we may experience the delicate writing between the lines in frame by frame.

@ chen more: I like movies very much. They can present different things from books, such as the silent eye contact of characters. Although they don’t talk, the emotional tension is very touching, which is a world that words can’t express.

Movies often need to borrow from literature. @ chen more: Movies and ancient poems have a lot in common, such as great emphasis on emotion and conciseness. Chinese-style beauty belongs to "and now through pine-trees come the moon and the chill of evening, and my ears feel pure with the sound of wind and water", which knows how to leave a blank space and has the realm of tranquillity and gentleness. And movies also need to be blank and restrained.

Books are often the starting point of performances. In the performance cultural heritage program "Today’s Film Critics Performers’ Words" specially planned by our film critics’ column group, the actors and friends shared their favorite books in "My Performers’ Notes".

Let’s take a look at the performers’ favorite bookshelves!

Recommended bibliography: The True Story of Ah Q

@ chen more: An actor should also have the ability to reflect his psychological activities with facial expressions. The True Story of Ah Q recommended by the teacher is a book that reflects the psychology of the characters from a very special angle.

Recommended bibliography: The Deaf-mute Age

The actor who has become a child’s father plays a novelist immersed in his own world in the film, but he still has that unique sense of youth, which is estimated to be inseparable from his favorite "Deaf Age", which is a description of the process of self-awareness awakening of teenagers.　

Recommended bibliography:Toad oil

The roles he plays are diverse but solid, and each character impresses the audience. He is often called an acting actor. However, acting skills need to have the ability to deeply understand each character and then flexibly switch back to himself. This should be indispensable to the help of Amanda’s cautious self and self-reflection courage in his favorite book Toad Oil.

My Performance Notes

Performance is a kind of culture, and actors present more vital roles, which need to realize themselves, life and knowledge from the inside out. @ chen more: We can see that these reading-loving actors are well-recognized actors with excellent box office. Because there are many jumps in the movie, and then sometimes some flashbacks are used, some performance details will be left out, but their performances can make you feel complete.

@ chen more: If your life is a rope with a length of 100 cm, and your life is thin, you can only divide it into four sections with a length of 25 cm. When you have read a lot of books, it becomes deep and delicate, and you can grasp every centimeter of your life. Actors will also make a reading plan for themselves in many interviews: "I will read a little every day, and after a period of complete emptying, the conditioned, professional restraint and self-discipline will come back."

@ chen more: The appeal and influence of filmmakers’ reading is enormous. The reading sharing of such performers is not limited to today’s reading day, such as the fans in Jackson Yee and the Jackson Yee Library established by the Huaihua government in Hunan Province.

In addition, there are stars on the internet who take everyone to read: the bookshelves that read for an hour every day with them, and so on. These actors who love reading drive more fans to fall in love with reading.

This spring season is a good time to ring the spiritual door ~
