Recently, the drama "Crane Huating" directed by Yang Wenjun is being broadcast on Youku. Since its launch, the drama has been well received and the topic has continued to rise. As the series unfolded, all important roles in the play appeared. Among them, the scene of many old opera bones on the same stage made the audience hooked. On November 21st, Bazaar Films aired an exclusive interview with several old actors in the play including Zhang Zhijian, Wang Jinsong, Qiu Xinzhi, Bao Dazhi, Wang Jianguo, etc. The superb performance of
is inseparable from a deep understanding and grasp of the characters. Zhang Zhijian has portrayed many classic villains. This time he also played a meticulous and supportive Zhongshu Ling Li Baizhou in "Crane Huating". In the words of netizens, Li Baizhou is a ruthless character. When talking about how to find a breakthrough in the role, Zhang Zhijian told the Bazaar film, "Every character is different, and the scale and scale of grasp are different, including his tension. This is where you want to seek a breakthrough."
According to the actor's opinion, Zhang Zhijian believes that Xiao Xianrou is now the name imposed by the media on some so-called young actors with traffic. "If you look at it from another angle, I certainly don't work with such Xiao Xianrou. But I have repeatedly emphasized that Xiao Xianrou does not represent young actors." He believes that actors should be serious about filming and cherish every role opportunity. Dedicating one after another good works and good roles to audiences who love them.
According to recent plots, everyone is paying attention to the complicated relationship between the prince and the prince Lu Shiyu and the "teacher, minister and father". In Wang Jinsong's view, the teacher-student relationship between the two is very clear, but as a minister, they don't want the relationship to be too close, and they always remind themselves of the way to be a minister. Therefore, we can see his alienation and tolerance of the prince from the play. The hidden deeper feelings are the role of the "father". They never talk about this relationship, but the audience can feel it. Wang Jinsong told Bazaar Films that he believes that Lu Shiyu "is a loyal person, a persevering person, and a person who does not fight", a person who is shattered for his ideals.
Wang Jinsong has dedicated many classic costume drama roles to the audience. He told Harper’s Bazaar movies that he prefers costume dramas in his choice, which stems from his personal preference, "Anything that involves history, I will be interested in acting." For the actor, he believes that the interpretation of the role is a process from affirmation to negation, and then negation of the final affirmation.
In Qiu Xinzhi's opinion, Lu Ying, who he played in the play, "is a loyal minister, who can sacrifice himself and his family for the country. He is a loyal and courageous person." In order to play a good role, the first thing to overcome as a Taiwanese actor Understand and memorize the lines of the ancient rhyme. He hopes to provide the audience with the original voice dubbing, and has made a lot of efforts for this, "not let it become a burden for the performance."
When asked if he is under pressure as one of the core characters in the play, Qiu Xinzhi believes that the role itself is not pressured. The pressure comes from the requirements of oneself, and the key lies in how to imagine it with his own life experience. It can turn stress into a kind of motivation, which is also the psychological state he has always adopted in life. He is a very optimistic person in life, which can also help him get out of the role better. He believes that "people who are strong enough in their hearts and know themselves well" can get out of the role faster. He will also come out through playing basketball, sports, and "holding his wife more".
Bao Dazhi said that he almost missed this role. In his opinion, the Zhang Lu he is playing is a wall-to-wall grass. "Wall-to-wall grass, live well" is his (Zhang Luzheng) motto, whichever power is strong. But at the same time, he is also a loving father at home, adhering to the Zhongzheng Principle in the education of his children. He can understand Zhang Luzheng's attitude towards his children very well. It is the wish of every parent to hope that his son will become a dragon and his daughter will become a phoenix. He also joked that giving birth is gambling.
For Bao Dazhi, who was born as a drama actor, he believes that there is no difference in the way that drama actors and film and television actors perform. The purpose of both is to interpret the characters, and there may be some differences in the scale of the stage and the film and television performances, and they are essentially the same. He hopes that young actors "everyone should be in awe of their profession".
Wang Jianguo thinks that his role as Wang Shen is a role of "aunt" in the big family of "Crane Huating", taking care of the chores of the East Palace. In order to better interpret this role, Wang Jianguo will make the lines more life-like and colloquial according to the plot, and narrow the distance between the costume drama and the audience. In Wang Jianguo's view, performance must truly enter the role and integrate one's life experience into the performance. For example, in the handling of the rivalry with the prince,He felt that the prince’s dirty hands might need a handkerchief, so he passed it naturally, which was not originally included in the script.
Wang Jianguo has witnessed the development of Chinese film and television in recent decades as an old opera bone. When talking about the changes between the current film and television dramas and the 1990s, he felt that the film and television dramas of the 1990s were not comparable to the present in terms of equipment and service, but "the creative atmosphere at that time was very good, no matter what role you played, everyone There is nothing else to get together but to talk about the drama." This situation is less now. The
film and television industry began to calm down after the capital and traffic upsurge, moving towards a rational market and the audience put forward higher requirements for the performance of actors. Those old drama bones who were once concealed under the aura of traffic stars began to come to the front, once again winning the respect of the audience and the recognition of the industry with their dedicated attitude, superb performance, and professional spirit.
In the interview, we found that these "old officials" who were cold in the play also had a cute and down-to-earth side outside the play. Zhang Zhijian likes fitness and sports when he is not filming, and has persisted for 40 years. Wang Jinsong likes to pay attention to the topic of young people, and frequently mentioned the newly learned new word "mercury" in interviews. Qiu Xinzhi will send emojis made by netizens using his own stills to friends, and also laughed that he wants to cooperate with Yang Zi because he admires the child stars in particular.
"Crane Huating" broadcast by Youku is still being updated continuously. I believe that after watching the interview with Bazaar film, I have a more comprehensive understanding of the old drama bones in the play. Regardless of whether they think they are old opera bones, the audience's recognition of their performance level is the most critical. Their love and respect for performing arts is still the spirit that this industry needs.
