The Taohuatan Scenic Area in Weinan, Shaanxi Province, was foggy due to rain. A short drama production company in Xi'an was filming in full swing. Despite the bad weather, the entire crew was still filming. Intense advancement.

Starring Liu Fuxin did not choose to take a break after finishing his several scenes. Instead, he sat beside the director, staring at the camera intently, and carefully pondering the performances of other actors.

Liu Fuxin, a leading actor in the short drama track, briefly worked as an extra in Hengdian, and by chance switched to short dramas. He is one of the few practitioners who spans both horizontal screen long dramas and vertical screen short dramas.

As the short drama became popular, he described himself as standing on the hot spot, and his schedule was packed. He basically had to shoot five or six dramas in a month. "But not all pigs who stand on the hot spot can fly. The short dramas are getting more and more popular." It has become more and more complicated, and it has put forward higher requirements for the quality of the script and the acting skills of the actors."

Hengdian to Xi'an

Liu Fuxin, this actor with a good appearance, has a boyish white hair that makes him very memorable. He has a tall and straight figure, three-dimensional facial features and deep eye sockets. When I first met him, we were at the filming site for a new drama in his company. He entertained everyone enthusiastically and enthusiastically shared interesting stories about filming and his acting experience.

He is not a performer. He majored in vocal music in college. With his excellent voice, he often sings in bars. However, due to the compatibility of art, his interest and love for performance, and the encouragement and support of his family and teachers, he resolutely embarked on the road of "horizontal drifting" in 2017, starting with group performances in Hengdian.

During his time in Hengdian, he adapted quickly. With his good learning ability and solid professionalism, he quickly gained some supporting roles from an unknown and transparent amateur.

In 2021, at the early stage of the development of short dramas, he accidentally came into contact with micro-short dramas during filming. He thought it was a good opportunity, so he chose to return to Xi'an and devote himself to the filming of short dramas.

has boyish white hair, which allows him to easily control characters with a sense of vicissitudes of life or mature charm. He first successfully broke out of the industry with the role of "Sen Ye", and later created the charming "Old Boss" Zhou Jingshan, and gradually became a into the eyes of more viewers.

He gradually emerged in the field of short dramas. He stood at the forefront of the industry at the right time and caught the fast-moving "express train" of short dramas.

Long plays and short plays

"The production and presentation methods of vertical screen and horizontal screen are different, but his requirements for actors remain the same, and they must be professional." In Liu Fuxin's view, short plays have great impact on actors. The requirements are as highly professional as those of long plays, and both require actors to have solid professional qualities and skills.

"No matter which form it is, a lot of desk work needs to be done in the early stage to clarify the development of the story and the character lines, as well as the relationships between the characters, and constantly analyze the characters in depth." He introduced his experience in each new drama when he starts filming. All preparatory work will be carried out before.

Before the filming of a new drama begins, the crew will conduct a script reading. The director, actors, and screenwriters all sat together to discuss the emotional world of the characters and the climaxes in the play, so as to prepare for the full burst of the characters' emotions.

The shooting cycle of short plays is very short, usually one week to ten days, which actually puts higher demands on actors to mobilize their emotions. "We must quickly enter the character, and the emotional ups and downs must be great. The wide range of emotions can show the rich emotions of the character in a short period of time." He focused on the unique challenges that short plays pose to actors.

Although he is a short drama actor, Liu Fuxin does not think that short drama actors are any less professional than traditional film and television actors because of his enthusiasm for acting and understanding of roles. Require".

When talking about the roles he wants to challenge in the future, Liu Fuxin frankly expressed his desire to challenge small roles, especially those roles that are on the fringes of society and require greater testing of acting skills. He believes that this type of role can further explore his acting potential and bring more diverse and rich acting experiences.

Standing on the limelight

Since the role of "Sen Ye" in "Wushuang" was successfully released, he gradually built up a lot of confidence and was able to perform more exciting and rich roles. These characters have very different personalities or have experienced twists and turns, which provide him with a broad performance space, constantly exploring his own performance potential, and showing mature and diverse acting skills.

Liu Fuxin, as a personal participant in the field of short dramas and an early entrant, also said that the development momentum of short dramas is too strong! He couldn't help but sigh: "I myself have also enjoyed the dividends of short dramas. In addition to considerable income, We have also gained more diverse performance opportunities, but not even pigs can fly when they are in the limelight. "The competition in short plays is also becoming increasingly fierce. The entry threshold for

short dramas is relatively low, attracting the influx of many investors, showing an explosive growth. As the competition in the short drama market becomes increasingly fierce, the audience's aesthetics and enjoyment are also constantly improving and changing, which puts forward higher requirements for the production level of short dramas and the acting skills of actors.

The current short drama market is showing a comprehensive "involution" trend, from the upstream to the downstream of the industry chain. It is an inevitable trend for short dramas to become high-quality films and TV shows in the future. Only by continuously improving the quality of short dramas and striving for excellence in plot, production, performance and other aspects can short dramas stand out in the fierce market competition.

Faced with changes in the outside world, Liu Fuxin is particularly pragmatic. He said: "Concentrate on filming every play and do the work you should do well." This is what he thinks and does. He works hard in the field of short dramas and hopes to be successful in this field. There are better developments in the industry.
