In the dialogue with filmmaker Peggy Chiao, Duan Long reviewed his cooperation with Deng Chao, Bo Huang, Cao Baoping and other actors and directors, saying that good actors should fulfill each other.
Duan Long won the Best Actor Award at Tokyo International Film Festival, and this film was funded by the Wu Tianming Youth Film Special Fund. "Dandelion Charity Action" is one of the main activities of the Youth Film Summit in Wu Tianming, Jinan, China in 2019. It was established for the first time this year, inviting well-known filmmakers to donate time to talk with young filmmakers and conduct in-depth exchanges in performance, filming and actor cooperation.

On role-building: looking for the commonness of characters
With "Soldier Assault" and "My Head and My Regiment" coming into public view, Duan Long said that he had rejected the role of a soldier: "I don’t want to create an image of a soldier who is strong outside, empty inside and pale. How can the military image make us believe that it is the present? I don’t understand the current military image and the current military life. This is the first course I should do. "
Duan Long said that what an actor should do is to find the commonness of roles, not the actor’s own personality. He mentioned that as an academic actor, he was educated to be an individualist. But it was later found that it was even harder to find commonalities. For example, actors are playing doctors and bank employees, but they don’t understand the professional habits and temperament, so they emphasize individuality. This is a limitation in Duan Long’s view: "So it is more important to play individuality or generality. I think commonality is more important. "

Talk Show Rhinoceros in Love: Crushed by Meng Jinghui
The Meng Jinghui drama Rhinoceros in Love, co-performed by Duan Long and Hao Lei, has become a classic in the hearts of many audiences. However, Duan Long revealed at the scene that all his previous knowledge of performance was shattered by director Meng Jinghui. As an actor who likes realistic expression, I cooperate with a director who is keen on absurd drama. He said that director Meng Jinghui valued the actors’ unconstrained style, not the expression of experientialism.
In the master class, Duan Long revealed that he had a heated argument with Meng Jinghui in the rehearsal of Rhinoceros in Love. He described his state at that time as: "He shattered me and denied me. I firmly believed that a belief, a method and a way of shaping were shattered by him, and I was completely naked. My state at that stage was isolated and helpless."
At the end of the rehearsal, Duan Long met a teacher who inspired him a lot. The teacher said four words: "specious." This made Duan Long realize that he was too stubborn in the possibility of expression, which was his own limitation. So looking back now, he expressed his gratitude to Meng Jinghui, which opened up great possibilities for his performance.
Talking about Actor Cooperation: Dragging opera can easily lead to substandard expression.
Duan Long said that he values the recognition of his peers. He mentioned Hao Lei, Liao Fan, Wang Jingchun and other actors at the scene, thinking that such actors made many young actors see hope and persistence. Regarding the cooperation between actors, he thinks that competing with each other may bring healthy competition, but it will also bring a negative and substandard expression.
In sharing, Duan Long used an example. This film is the third collaboration between directors Deng Chao and Cao Baoping, and the first collaboration between myself and Cao Baoping: "I envy the tacit understanding between them, but I can’t be jealous, because it’s my first time, and there must be something missing from the collaboration. I think this kind of thing will seriously affect a creator’s mentality. Have you ever had such fluctuations? Yes, I have to do psychological counseling myself, because it is too disturbing, and it will lose my accurate judgment. "
Another example cited by Duan Long is its cooperation with Bo Huang. When they met for the first time, Duan Long told Bo Huang that the two roles were mutually fulfilling, and he hoped that Bo Huang and I could mutually fulfill their character and relationship. In Duan Long’s view, it is very important for a good actor to have a cooperative mentality first.
