Speaking of Ye Wen, everyone must be very familiar with the image of this character. With the continuous emergence of major related movies in recent years, the spirit of warrior conveyed by Ye Wen can be said to have brought a lot of attention to the audience. influences.
After seeing the wonderful interpretations of this character by many well-known actors, the big movie "Ip Man: The Kowloon Walled City" is now on the line. Among them, Ip Man, portrayed by Hong Kong's powerful actor Tang Wenlong, once again made everyone's eyes shine.
Although you have seen a lot of film and television works about Ip Man, this time "Ip Man: The Kowloon Walled City" still brings a whole new feeling to the audience, especially Tang Wenlong's performance in the film, which can be described as Let Ye Wen's image have another concrete appearance in everyone's minds.
The story background of this movie was chosen in 1950, that is, at the beginning of the establishment of the martial arts hall by Ye Wen. Without a failure, he aroused the fear of the master of the Kowloon Walled City, so he tried every means to get rid of Ye Wen. A contest between righteousness and evil began quietly. After the
film went live, Tang Wenlong's performance attracted a large number of audiences' praise, especially his fluent and clean play scenes in the film, which made people very impressed.
Mentioned the play in the movie, Tang Wenlong was deeply moved. After all, he himself is a Wing Chun disciple, and he has been practicing Wing Chun for more than ten years. Being able to play Ye Wen this time was a great surprise for Tang Wenlong, and it was also a kind of fate in the dark.
"Fortunately, I have a basis for practicing Wing Chun, so the movements will be more handy. This aspect gives me a lot of confidence, and I feel very practical when acting."
is in the movie, one of Tang Wenlong’s Both moves are extremely precise and in place, even for viewers who do not know Wing Chun, they can still feel the charm of this traditional Chinese martial art during the viewing process.
What is very rare is that Tang Wenlong has added a lot of his own martial arts experience and experience in the film, such as Japanese punching, spreading hands, tying hands, including some methods of wooden piles, all have many characteristics of his own faction. It is no exaggeration to say that these actions and techniques are difficult to see in other film and television works, so with the launch of "Ip Man: The Kowloon Walled City", friends who are interested in Wing Chun can be said to be blessed! In addition to
's own unique insights and presentation methods for the play in the play, the Ye Wen portrayed by Tang Wenlong this time also has a special literary aura. At first glance, it is the independent aura of a modest gentleman. Although
is a martial artist, the literary temperament of Ye Wen does not conflict with this. On the contrary, "hardness and softness" is the image that this learned great master should have.
As Tang Wenlong described, "Master Ye Man is actually a very easy-going person, usually more gentle, but his talent is very high, so he learns kung fu quickly, and is smart, know how to use. In short, just A person with a quick response and a high level of savvy." With this awe and unique interpretation of the characters, Tang Wenlong devoted himself 100% in the process of shaping, doing his best to get close to the heart of the character. I just want to show you a more realistic image of Ip Man, and also hope that everyone can understand Wing Chun more comprehensively.
Of course, as a disciple of Wing Chun, Tang Wenlong also had a lot of pressure during the shooting process. He was always worried that he would not be able to play Ye Man well. After all, for himself, this role is completely different in meaning. Anyone who has ever played.
But pressure also means motivation. Tang Wenlong has a very high degree of accuracy in his grasp of every move, every word and action in the film, and what emerges is the flesh and blood, civil and military Ye Wen on the screen. Image. Now, the audience's enthusiastic response and high praise are naturally the greatest affirmation of Tang Wenlong's performance.
In addition to the praise of Ye Wen in the movie, another character that Tang Wenlong has portrayed before has also won the favor of many people, and that is the role of Zheng Li'an in "Storm of Hearts 3".
Speaking of this role, many viewers are full of emotion. After all, from the perspective of personality, Zheng Li'an is very controversial. In real life, he is a scumbag.
But what is very amazing is that under the shaping of Tang Wenlong, although this character has an indelible stain,At the same time, everyone likes it very much. It can be said to be love and hate, and it can't be stopped. All of this, naturally, has to be attributed to Tang Wenlong's wonderful performance.
"Actually, I was struggling before taking this play. After all, Zheng Li'an is a very controversial role. If you don’t perform well in a role like this, the audience will think your play is not good and unprofessional, but if you play well, It might be hateful. But in the end I accepted it, so I tried my best to play him well.”
Recalling that when he first took over the role, Tang Wenlong admitted that he hesitated for a long time, because on the surface it seemed that Zheng Lian was very It's good acting, but it's actually very difficult, especially if you want the audience to like this character, it's even more difficult. But in the end he decided to challenge himself, so he had the charming Zheng Li'an who made the audience love and hate.
Speaking of character description, Tang Wenlong said that in addition to Zheng Li'an's scumbag side in the play, he also tried his best to portray the character's warm-hearted side at home, as well as the kindness and gentleness of his character and his outstanding work ability. This achieves a balance. And this may also be a reflection of real humanity, there is no absolute good or bad, so it can really infect the audience in the end.
Through one character after another, it is not difficult to find that Tang Wenlong is an actor who is very good at figuring out the details of the character. Whether it is the motivation of the character's behavior or the influence of the character's environment, he will always study thoroughly before shooting.
's closeness to the character also makes him always immersed in the character and unable to extricate himself, and he often can't get out after filming. For the audience, this is undoubtedly a kind of luck, but as an actor, Tang Wenlong also said that he still has to adjust his state as soon as possible and let himself go to meet the next brand new role.
When asked during the interview, if one day he is not an actor, what would he do, Tang Wenlong said frankly that he might go into business, and he also wanted to devote more energy to some charity work. Especially in terms of environmental protection.
When it comes to environmental protection, Tang Wenlong can be said to have countless aspirations to express. After all, in daily life, he is an out-and-out "environmental expert", and he has been committed to environmental protection for many years. I often post some relevant information on Weibo, hoping to appeal to everyone to pay more attention to environmental protection.
From climate warming to glacier melting, sea level rise, and a series of other environmental issues, Tang Wenlong looked very serious during the conversation. He felt that everyone knew about these issues, but many people felt that it was something. It doesn't matter to yourself, this is a very wrong idea in his opinion. Therefore, he constantly emphasized in interviews that everyone must start with himself and a series of seemingly "irrelevant" little things, and his own biggest wish is to hope that the earth can always be as good as ever. Although
has been fighting in the entertainment industry for 20 years, after various chats and Q&A, we will clearly feel that there is still a sense of sincerity in Tang Wenlong's body, whether it is facing performances or facing When practicing martial arts or facing life and everything else, he has a purely persistent heart.
has been filming for so many years. Tang Wenlong said that he did have times when he was exhausted, but he never wanted to give up. After all, you must look at the positive side of everything. Maintaining a good attitude is the most important thing.
At the same time, in these years of filming experience, the acting career has enriched his life, and he is more willing to continue to enrich himself and let himself face every scene in the best state. In private, he will learn a lot of new things, such as Muay Thai, swimming, skiing, drifting, etc. In his opinion, there are too many skills, "As an actor, I think I should keep the knife Behind you, you can take it out whenever you need it, and use it as your own practice when you don’t need it.” When
described himself, Tang Wenlong said that he still has great curiosity about all new things, like a big boy who is not growing up, but after thinking about it, he immediately corrected and teased that he should be a young man." "Old boy"~
hope that after the highly praised Ye Wen, Tang Wenlong, the "old boy", can bring more exciting roles to the audience!
Cast Interview with
Super Cast: This time you starred in "Ip Man: Kowloon Walled City" on Youku on the 24th. You think that your interpretation of Ip Man is the same as the previous Liang ChaoIs there any difference between Wei and Yen Zidan's Ye Wen? Are you worried that the audience will have a preconceived impression or compare you?
Tang Wenlong: There will be different places, because after all, everyone is a different actor, so the performance will be different. Tony Leung and Donnie Yen’s "Ip Man" are very successful. I think every actor will have his own advantages, and it is impossible and difficult to compare them. As a junior, I will learn from the other big brothers.
Super Cast: In order to shape Ye Wen, have you made any special designs in performances and movements? What did you do before?
Tang Wenlong: I also added some of my master, Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang, that is, some of the characteristics of Wing Chun of this branch of our school, like the traditional Japanese punching boxing, or spreading hands and tying hands. These are in other movies. It's still rare inside.
Super Cast: Can you share with you the process of learning Wing Chun?
Tang Wenlong: I learned Wing Chun more than ten years ago, and my master was Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang, a Wing Chun boxer who is famous in all martial arts. I have always heard that Wing Chun is a short-range punch, which can be used well in some narrow environments, and then I tried to touch it. In the following years, I spent a lot of time practicing, and my Wing Chun also improved a lot.
Super Cast: What kind of person is Ye Wen in your eyes?
Tang Wenlong: In fact, I really don’t dare to comment on this, but one thing is very clear, that is, Master Ye Wen is a very easy-going person, usually more gentle, and he is very smart and very savvy. Learn kung fu quickly.
Super Cast: During the shooting, was there anything that impressed you more?
Tang Wenlong: Hengdian was very cold during the filming. We needed to shoot summer scenes in winter, so whenever we breathe, we must drink ice water and eat ice to eliminate the breath before we can continue shooting. Sometimes it rains after the snow falls in Hengdian, the entire shoes are soaked, and the toes become particularly icy. Under such conditions, everyone has been shooting. Now think about it, although it is hard, it is a very meaningful memory.
Super Cast: Are there any injuries or more dangerous scenes when shooting action scenes?
Tang Wenlong: There was a shot that required me to kick a bamboo pole halfway through. I kicked it and my whole toenails were kicked off. After using it for several months, my toenails came out in full length. At the end of the filming of the finale, I had a high fever after working for a long time and the weather was cold, and then I was hanging on the two-story WIA to shoot the scene. Although it was a bit dumb, the shooting went smoothly. The effect is not bad.
Super Cast: In addition to Wing Chun and Hong Quan, are there any special skills that you can learn because of the performance?
Tang Wenlong: I can do things like Muay Thai, swimming, skiing and so on, and then I have been learning drifting in the last two years. I also like this very much, so I will continue to learn. As an actor, I think I should keep putting the "knife" behind my back, and I can take it out anytime when I need it, and use it as my own practice when I don’t need it, so it’s good. Learn more. Well, don't have enough skills.
Super Cast: Have you ever thought of giving up acting since your debut? How did it persist until now?
Tang Wenlong: I can't say that I haven't had this idea, but if there is, I must have given up long ago. In the ups and downs of the past two decades, although there are times of exhaustion, I haven't really thought about giving up. I am not a person who likes to give up easily. This may be regarded as an advantage. Anyway, you must look at the positive side of everything. It is always sunny.
Super Cast: Although you played Zheng Li'an in "Heartstorm 3" as a cheating husband, he has gained the love of a large number of audiences outside the play. Is this what you expected before? How did you make a poorly set character so popular?
Tang Wenlong: Actually, I was struggling before taking this play. After all, Zheng Li'an is a very controversial character. For a role like this, if you don’t play well, the audience will think your play is not good and unprofessional, but if you play well, you may also be hated. But in the end I took it, so I tried my best to play him well. Fortunately, at that time, my partner, Miss Chen Minzhi, cooperated very tacitly, and the results were good. At that time, I tried my best to present the image of the husband at home as a warm man, which may be regarded as offsetting some of the disgust of the audience.. Of course, today's audiences are very sane. They will not deny the actors themselves because of your image in the play. Thank you for your recognition of my performance.
Super Cast: I heard that you have been quietly contributing to environmental protection, can you share more experience and experience in environmental protection, so that everyone can pay more attention to environmental protection.
Tang Wenlong: I often repost some small knowledge about environmental protection on Weibo. I just hope that through social platforms, everyone will pay more attention to this aspect. With regard to global warming, the problem is getting more and more serious, and there is no way to imagine how humans will survive in the future. So I hope that we can start from me, and Wei Environmental Protection will do its best, and hope that the earth can always be as good as ever.
Super Cast: What are the recent work arrangements?
Tang Wenlong: Recently, there was a TVB drama "Solutions" (inland name: "My Teacher Is Not Simple") on TVB, which I participated in, was on the air. In it, I cooperated with my old partner Chen Minzhi, and it was a round. The regret that we are not together in "Heartstorm 3". Next, I'm going to make a police film, directed by Peng Fa, including Mr. Wu Zhenyu and Mr. Ren Dahua. I am looking forward to cooperating with Director Peng and two big brothers with excellent acting skills. I am very happy.
