With Yan Liang, Zhang Dongsheng, Gong Biao and other unforgettable roles one after another, Qin Hao has jumped from "one of the most underestimated actors" to "the top actor in the uncle circle", and his acting skills have been recognized in the industry and full recognition from the audience. "What is the upper limit of Qin Hao's acting skills?" has also become a hot topic among many domestic drama fans. In "Harbin 1944", which is currently being broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV, logged into Jiangsu Satellite TV's Happiness Theater, Qin Hao transformed into twin brothers Song Zhuowen and Song Zhuowu, alternately mediating with the enemy. "During the 180-day shooting cycle, every scene was a challenge, and every scene was about solving problems. I really finished the filming with sincerity, and then waited for the audience to test it." For the first time, Qin Hao played two roles. There is more to say.
The core of the story is not limited to spy wars, it tests the audience's patience.
The twin brothers go deep into the tiger's den, and the various forces are treacherous, reversing and reversing... From the plot setting, "Harbin 1944" is a movie worthy of its name. A high-energy spy drama. But in Qin Hao's view, the core of this drama is not only a spy war, but also a group portrait of small people in the context of a big era.
Different from the settings of previous spy war dramas, in "Harbin 1944", Song Zhuowen and Song Zhuowu are both positive characters, and the creative team did not deliberately portray them as one good and one evil for the sake of conflict. But when explaining the underlying reasons for the formation of their characters, the play chose two completely different methods. "Song Zhuowu's character is very distinct from the beginning. But Song Zhuowen is different. You won't know the complete image of this character until you watch the 40th episode. This is something you don't see in other dramas, and it also tests the audience's patience." Qin Hao analyzed .
Just because of Zhang Li's words, he lost 20 pounds in 14 days
In the interview, Qin Hao admitted that when he first got the script, he was actually a little worried. In the end, he made up his mind to take on this drama, largely because of director Zhang Li. "I have a list of 'directors I want to work with in my life', and Uncle Li (Zhang Li) is on the list."
"How to do it?" "Take your time, grind slowly." Qin Hao recalled that this was his first step. The first conversation with Zhang Li after the group. "(Playing twins for the first time) I didn't completely know how to act, but I knew how not to act. The Song Zhuowen and Song Zhuowu you see now were my understanding and knowledge of the characters at that time." Qin Hao repeatedly emphasized, "I never think that I am an actor with acting skills. From my debut to today, I rely on the word 'truth'. For me, the highest state of an actor should be sincerity."
Treat the role sincerely and be sincere When dealing with the audience, you must be true to yourself. He once lost 20 pounds in 14 days because of Zhang Li's words, "There were no fat people in China in 1944." "Uncle Li's words really stimulated me. I don't think I have any reason. Song Zhuowen and Song Zhuowu have to lose weight." Qin Hao said.
For the first time, one person plays two roles. "I have thought of all the tricks I should think of."
"Harbin 1944" is Qin Hao's first attempt to play two roles. In the process, he unlocked a new career experience, but also felt unprecedented pressure.
"Especially for the scene where brothers Song Zhuowen and Song Zhuowu share the same screen, I have to act to the air first, then imagine my reaction, and then play another person opposite. This kind of acting method is something I have never faced before. I passed." Qin Hao said frankly.
However, although the two brothers look exactly the same, the audience can still easily spot the subtle differences between them. For example, Song Zhuowu is not only missing a tooth, but also speaks Northeastern dialect; for example, Song Zhuowen is more "elegant" when eating, while Song Zhuowu is always Gobbling...and these were all improvised by Qin Hao and Zhang Li on the set, which is enough to show Qin Hao's acting skills. "We have really thought about everything we should think about. No matter whether it is good or bad, I have no regrets."
