Character experience

Will you be familiar with these two poems? It's usually when he is in a low mood, especially when he is lovelorn, that he can use wine to relieve his worries. However, for Lin Lisan, who has been in the performing arts for many years, this poem is his first playbook on the road of drama.

In 1981, he returned to Hong Kong to perform the musical "Disney Show" and then stayed in Hong Kong for development. He has performed stage plays in Hong Kong, including "my wife is fighting", "the dresser", "family affairs of zhoumen", etc., and won the best supporting actor award of Hong Kong Stage Drama Award for "death of a salesman" and "don't dress for diner".

The director's works have won the most popular production award of Hong Kong Stage Drama Award, the best overall performance award and the best director award for "the end of the long river", and the best overall performance award for "baseball Rhapsody".

Change of profession

After studying in secondary three in Hong Kong, Lin Li San immigrated to Canada and completed all his secondary and university studies in Canada. When he entered the University, he chose the Department of business administration instead of drama at the beginning.

"My father told me to read ba. When I was a child, I volunteered to be a policeman and a lawyer, but I didn't do it later. It's not very good to be a lawyer because he doesn't work. It's like fighting a lawsuit for the rich." At that time, the Department of business administration had to take a subject related to art in its first year. "So I asked an English teacher in middle school which subject she should take. She told me why she didn't take drama. She told me I could have a try, so I chose drama."

At that time, he was the only Chinese studying drama. He said that he still remembered the scene when he went to class

"For the first time, the dean of the Department asked all the students to prepare for a personal performance. At that time, I just entered this course, and I didn't know anything at all. He asked me to perform with the culture and language I knew best, so I used a poem by Li Bai to complete this performance. He gave me a lot of space to explore myself in the process."

The poem he talked about is

Li Bai's farewell to Shuyun at Xie Tiao building in Xuanzhou

：

Those who forsake me shall not stay yesterday.

Those who disturb my heart are worried today.

Long wind thousands of miles to send autumn geese, which can sound tall buildings.

Penglai article Jian'an bone, in the middle of Xie Qingfa.

All of them want to fly to the sky and enjoy the bright moon.

If you cut off the water with a knife, the water will flow more; if you raise a glass, you will be more worried.

Life in the world is not satisfactory, the Ming Dynasty sent out to make boat.

He said that when he was reading, the most impressive thing was the poem, so without saying a word, he deduced the poem in a dramatic way. When he was studying drama in foreign countries, it was very hard. In addition to the dean's teaching, he not only discovered himself in the process, but also gave him a lot of thinking and creative space.

After reading the first year of drama, Lin Lisan decided to give up his major in business administration and switch to drama, because he found that he originally liked drama. "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to find myself. He also accepted what kind of person I am, so that I can be myself." However, his decision almost made him lose his six parents. At that time, when Lin Lisan said that he wanted to study drama, his family collected a lot of information and explained to him that almost 70% to 80% of the students in this subject had no fixed career but just made money. It was a job with no future. "My family is all against it, because they are all professionals. I have six brothers and sisters, and I am the youngest. The whole family doesn't support me to study drama. When I was studying this subject, I almost broke six of my parents." He described the six years of study as very hard, because he couldn't get the support of his family. All the living expenses and tuition expenses had to be earned by himself. In order to earn the tuition, he worked as a waiter, a salesman, a hamburger seller, a kitchen, a sprout washer, and almost all the labor work you can count. "At that time, the sprout washing started at three o'clock in the morning and returned to school at seven o'clock in the morning. Then rehearsal started at midnight. Sometimes I would sleep in the rehearsal room and go to work again."

In the eyes of his family, it has been 30 years since he was a student with no future and a job with no future. Today, Lin Lisan has his name in the field of drama, television, film and academia.

An accident

Mr. Lin obtained his bachelor's degree and master's degree from the school of drama, Winnipeg University, Canada. In 1981, he returned to Hong Kong to perform the musical "Disney Show" and then stayed in Hong Kong for development.

"Later, when Zhong Jinghui was preparing for a new play in the Hong Kong dialect troupe, he had a role for me. When he returned to Hong Kong, he didn't want to develop in Hong Kong, so he stayed in Hong Kong like this. Everything was like a kind of predestination. It happened." However, he felt that it was only by chance that he wanted to learn more about the operation of Hong Kong television than that of a small movie star, because he wanted to learn more about Hong Kong television

Later, Chung told him that a school of performing arts would be set up in Hong Kong. He wanted to find him to help teach part-time, so his life of teaching part-time started. "At that time, I was already a wireless artist. Every day after the lecture, TVB's car was waiting for me outside to pick me up for filming."

At that time, he taught courses in performing arts, including voice lines, body movements and other things related to stage performance. At the beginning of teaching, Lin Lisan was only 27 years old, and he was the youngest teacher in the school.

"At that time, I was very excited. At that time, the students didn't know the level of drama. In Hong Kong at that time, it was a new course, and they didn't understand it at the beginning."

Lin Li San said that in the first year, more than 1000 people applied, but only 40 students were accepted in the end. However, he was surprised that Hong Kong students did not know much about drama, but they did not expect to have such a great desire. "At that time, I was very excited. The students I met were full of thirst for drama. Some of them were older than themselves, and they were a little nervous." "I told them that when you become a performer, you will gradually open up your personal feelings. Performance is not today's experience, but gradually day by day to study and explore, and you will naturally go to a certain form to express it."

Teaching time

Lin Li San has been teaching for 23 years since the establishment of the school of drama of the Hong Kong Academy for performing arts. Summing up more than 20 years of teaching, he said that the quality of students will always change from the first session to today, because the continuous evolution of society, students' experience, experience, culture, of course, will be different, all of which affect the quality of students, he said, not from a student level to comment, but from the training mechanism.

He, who has been engaged in drama for many years, admits that
