In the just-concluded period legendary drama "Running Dogs", young comedians represented by Jiang Long, Shi Ce, Jiang Yi, Song Muzi, Ye Liu and others play the leading role. For these comedians who just became familiar to the audience with the "Annual Comedy Competition" last year, "Running Dogs" opened a door for them to perform in film and television dramas, and also became a key turning point in their acting careers. .
Jiang Yi
Jiang Yi: A good comedy is not a creaking audience
Before "Running Dogs", actor Jiang Yi had actually made several good film and television dramas, such as "Revolution" co-starring with Li Xian and Ren Min The theme drama "When the Stars Shine", just because of the order in which it was broadcast, it was "The Dogs Run" that he met the audience as an actor after the comedy competition.
Jiang Yi said that as an actor, there are always many times that are uncontrollable. "For example, it is a good thing to be recognized by the audience because of a comedy competition, but it may also be considered that you can only do comedies because of this show." The invitation came from "the right time, the right place and the right people". Director Wang Xinjun could not find a suitable actor after getting the script. It coincided with the broadcast of the "Annual Comedy Competition", and he fell in love with these young people doing comedy at a glance. And determined that they can not only do comedy, but also play complete characters.
For Jiang Yi, who graduated from the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama, as a major, he is naturally confident that he can perform well. When he got the script for the character Yang San, he felt that this role was "very acting" and might become a "turning point" in his acting career. "The script has given me a good foundation. Yang San is not the kind of villain who is always there. He has many complexities and contradictions, and his comedy is natural." Jiang Yi hopes to be able to grasp it firmly. For this role, a lot of homework was done before filming. In the
story, Yang San initially appeared as a villain, full of evil and stupid, but as the plot progressed, Yang San transformed into an anti-Japanese force. The character changed a lot, but the transformation process was very natural. In the finale, Yang San His sacrifice also made many viewers cry. Jiang Yi revealed that because he predicted Yang San's transformation in advance, he would also design some eyes in the early performances to lay clues for the character's later transformation. "He has never been an absolute villain. Many times Yang San is I was led by the advice of the naughty boy."
Jiang Yi bluntly said that the transformation from comedy performance to film and television drama performance is also crucial, because the two performances are handled in completely different ways, "For example, in a comedy competition, the funny is relatively externalized, while Yang San's ridiculousness is based on the characters and relies on the absurdity and humor of the script itself." From the "replay" of the characters, he realized a certain skill in film and television acting, that is, based on the script and characters, To portray the true nature of the characters, "There is no need to deliberately pursue the external content of comedy. If you are just being funny, you are just teasing the audience." He is very fortunate that director Wang Xinjun understands comedy very well. When facing a group of actors who are good at comedy performances, he always Be able to give appropriate suggestions and "let everyone know how much they put in and what they received."
Regardless of whether he is recording a program or filming, Jiang Yi likes to "review" like this. He reviews how he went from a school drama to a comedy stage, and also reviews what kind of acting methods should be used for the characters he has played. Even " After the broadcast of "Gou Sheng Run", he will also pay attention to the audience's comments to review how much room there is for growth in his performance. Jiang Yi bluntly said that this kind of review would make him feel at ease, and Jiang Long, who is in the same crew, is also a very "curious" actor. Everyone is very focused on polishing every detail of the character.
has become well-known to the audience through variety shows and film and television dramas in the past two years. Jiang Yi bluntly said that this group of actors has encountered a good opportunity, and the audience's "seeing" is not only an encouragement, but also a kind of pressure, "I think If a role is given to me, I am confident that I can add 50% of my personal characteristics to this character, but this is far from enough."At this stage, Jiang Yi is pursuing more authentic and sincere performances, "Don't do too many designs, use a more life-oriented performance method. If there are too many designs, it will easily produce traces of performance. I still can't perform without traces, so I might as well use a relatively simple way. "
Song Muzi
Song Muzi: He will stick to the "base camp" of comedy
Actor Song Muzi is still so funny. In "The Dog Sheng Run", Song Muzi's Hou Qi is always the comedy in the whole drama. As a villain, he He seems to be buzzing, but he still cares about his beloved wife until he dies on the battlefield in the finale. The tragedy of this character comes out.
For Song Muzi, such a complicated Hou Qi is exactly the multi-faceted character he hopes to show. "What the audience may see at first is Hou Qi's tragedy. His wife cheated on him, his boss lied to him, and he foolishly believed his wife's lies. What the audience sees is the more embarrassing side of this character, but the logic of the character I found is that Hou Qi is always doing things for his own family, and what he wants to maintain is the peace of his family. "Song Muzi believes that although the overall impression of "Gou Sheng Run" is relatively relaxed and pleasant, the theme of the series itself limits it to a work about the hatred of the country and the family in a serious historical background. "It is a comedy. The processing is just seasoning under limited conditions."
initially took over the role of Hou Qi because the director and other actors in the crew agreed that Song Muzi was the most suitable. "Hou Qi has a strong dramatic conflict, which is a strong setting. character, he also has the most comedy. "Song Muzi has his own views on characters. He believes that even characters with a comic color cannot be handled according to the conventional comedy performance method. "It will be more restrained than the previous comedy performances, and when handling specific plots, it will also be handled according to the conventional comedy performance method." The way of acting is true and emotional, his grievances and breakdowns are real reactions, and his belief in his wife's lies is not a disguise. These are his emotions from the heart. It is precisely because of this simplicity and authenticity that the character of Hou Qi becomes three-dimensional and rich. "
Although he is known to the audience as a comedian, Song Muzi studied at Wuhan University as an undergraduate, and was actually majoring in drama, film and television performance. He had not been exposed to comedy performances until he graduated and found a job. During his graduation drama, he normally appeared in the serious drama "Sarah" "The Witches of Lem", only to find that the audience kept laughing wildly for half an hour. After graduation, he went north to find a job, and accidentally got into Happy Twist again. Only then did Song Muzi start his career as a comedian.
In the first two years of Happy Twist He was under a lot of pressure in 2011 because commercial performances and comedy performances were not the formats he was familiar with. He often had to go on stage two days after receiving the script. "I started acting in small roles and performed for one or two hundred shows, just like practicing martial arts." When Song Muzi later thought about it, he was grateful for the two years of stage training, which allowed him to gradually understand the audience's laughter and also explore his own comedy talent.
To this day, Song Muzi is still grateful for the intensive participation in comedy in those years. Regarding variety shows, he believes that “stage performances and comedy competitions will bring different stimuli to actors, and comedy partners are all aesthetically compatible, so the cost of communication is not that high, and there is more room for personalized expression.” ". In the years when he was driven by competitions, he felt that the concentrated competition stimulated him to constantly think of new performance methods and constantly adjusted based on the audience's feedback.
In addition to filming "Gou Sheng Run", In the past two years, he has also made comedy movies, and has been a guest at many large-scale evening parties, always bringing interesting comedy works to the audience. He believes that comedy has always been his "home base", "I don't feel that I have reached the age where I can stop doing it. The level of comedy, I hope to build the building higher on this base, and if possible, I will go out for a walk.”
Song Muzi bluntly said that he may not appear in comedy competition programs for the time being, because the creation of comedy is still It takes time to settle down. "Creators need to be one step ahead of the audience. If they don't have good works and insist on being on the show, it may be a piece of cake and they will not be able to live up to the audience's expectations."
He will not stop trying, and in the future he will be with There are also many opportunities to meet the audience.The recently released comedy movie "The Annual Party Can't Stop!" "Song Muzi's performance in "Galaxy Writers" has just been finalized. He will also join hands with his old partners Li Fei and He Wenjun to challenge a new screenwriter image.
