Interview with Times Face | He used to serve thieves with his own body, but his strength made people respect him ...
How to get rid of the performance of the negative character's facebook and vividly portray the character's character? Actor Huo Qing gave an answer that satisfied the audience.
Maybe many people are not familiar with Huo Qing's name, but they remember many roles he played. In the frequently updated entertainment circle, he concentrated on performing for 2 years and precipitated himself into a "gold supporting role".
endowing the villain with personality charm
In the TV series The Traveler, Pei Ruhai is suspicious and cautious by nature. For his own safety, he does not hesitate to use women and children to force others to submit. He annihilated his conscience, and in the case of unsuccessful scheming, he tortured his former friends to extract a confession. In order to save his life, he became a guest of the Japanese without any shame and served as a thief.
Before taking on the role of Pei Ruhai, Huo Qing went through a fierce ideological struggle.
"Pei Ruhai is a disloyal and unjust character. He first betrayed the * * * production party, then betrayed the Kuomintang, and finally betrayed the whole Chinese nation. He is a thoroughly evil person." Playing such a role, Huo Qing was worried: "The audience who are not familiar with me will instinctively unify the role and the actor, and they will feel disgusted and even disgusted, thinking that I am so bad."
"But I am confident that I can play this character well." Huo Qing affirmed, "My age and experience make me confident enough to portray this character well."
Huo Qing, who is usually very interested in modern history and the history of China's * * * production party, is eager to show the indomitable spirit of that era, the glorious history of that era and arouse young people's thinking through Pei Ruhai's negative textbook. "I gave up my life for righteousness and took on this role." Huo Qing said.
It was the winter of 22 when the most important underwater scene of The Traveler was filmed. Considering the cold weather, Huo Qing is nearly 6 years old, and the crew arranged a stuntman for him in advance to complete most of the underwater scenes instead of him.
Huo Qing recalled: "It was a major event, and I didn't think it could be played vaguely, so I insisted on acting it myself. The expressions, movements and psychology of characters underwater should be clearly displayed, so that they are responsible for the role and the audience. " The scene was filmed in the water for more than three hours without going ashore to rest. Huo Qing's eyes were red for two days because he had to keep his eyes open underwater.
This underwater scene is exactly the scene in which Pei Ruhai is trapped in an iron cage under the sea and executed in the finale of The Walkers. Several facial close-ups show Pei Ruhai's end from self-confidence to panic, unwillingness and eventually drowning. The audience finally waited for the ending of this villain, and they all applauded.
Huo Qing also received a wave of praise from the audience: "Huo Qing played Pei Ruhai alive, and it was very bad!"
Make the character close to humanity
This is not the first time that Huo Qing has played the villain.
"In the TV series" Aiming "broadcast in 22, I played Fang Jinfu, the stationmaster of Songjiang Station of the Military Secret Service. Although I was also a villain, in fact, the person of this character was in line with the background of the times and his identity, and he had so-called' beliefs'." Huo Qing has a deep understanding of each role.
Among the roles that Huo Qing created in the past, decent figures such as soldiers, policemen and intellectuals are well known to the audience. Recently, several villains have made the audience look at his acting skills differently-a cold look, a complicated inner struggle, a forbearing emotional expression, and the cadence of his lines can create an image of a villain.
Huo Qing endows each role with unique personality charm.
In Huo Qing's eyes, bad people are not only ruthless, but also struggling, changeable, fearful and even inferior. To this end, he studied many videos and documentaries on the rule of law, observing and scrutinizing the characters' every move.
Huo Qing said that playing the villain is also an exercise for himself. "In the process of shaping different roles, it will also inspire my shining side."
Shang Hai's ups and downs return to the unfinished dream
Huo Qing's actor's dream began in 1988 when he was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama. After graduation, he was assigned to work in the China Railway Art Troupe, and also participated in several films and performed a dream.
However, the income of drama performance is meager, and as a newcomer, there are few opportunities. I am always shy and even reluctant to take the subway and bus. After careful consideration, he decided to leave his beloved acting job and go into business.
He started his own advertising company and struggled for a living, but his income in the first year was only 2, yuan. He even worked as a driver to earn living expenses. The efforts made will never be disappointed, and Huo Qing's company has gradually improved, and it has been ten years.
One dream after ten years is bitter, and only Huo Qing can understand it. However, it is unavoidable that performance is still the most difficult love in his heart. When talking about business, the performance on the TV next to him will distract him. When he meets a filming crew on the street, he will also stop and look forward to it, but he is afraid to meet his former acquaintances.
A friend once joked with him, "Why did Huo Qing start a company? He can't play! " Unwilling to admit defeat made Huo Qing feel bad and re-examined himself.
In 22, when the company was still in full swing, 4-year-old Huo Qing decided to return to the show business. Ten years in business, the irregular life and the pressure of company management made Huo Qing once fat to nearly 2 Jin. In order to reunite the actor's dream, the first hurdle he has to overcome is to lose weight.
In order to lose weight as soon as possible, he runs in long trousers in the hottest afternoon every day. It took him half a year to lose 5 pounds, and he received the first TV series "The Law is Unbearable". Although he is a small role, he finally took the first step successfully.
Maybe 4 is really "not confused". Huo Qing, who has returned to the entertainment industry, has an unprecedented clear goal. He must seize every opportunity, regardless of the size of the role, and must interpret every character well.
Huo Qing got into the habit of running. At first, it was just to lose weight, and later it became an essential lesson every day. Especially when he is filming in the crew, he will take the treadmill with him. Because the schedule of the actors is very irregular, and the opening hours of the hotel gym are limited. No matter what time it starts in the morning, Huo Qing must get up and run 2 hours in advance. "You must run 1 kilometers every day. After running, you will be relaxed, so as not to be swollen, and you will not look good on camera. I am sorry for the audience."
It may be said that Huo Qing's career as an actor is full of twists and turns, but more of it comes naturally. "With the growth of my age, my understanding of characters and the portrayal of roles have all grown by leaps and bounds." Huo Qing said, "When the concept is mature, the actor is mature, and it can be called a good actor with both morality and art."
A studious and thoughtful actor
In 25, Huo Qing received a very important role in his career-the gentleman Geng Hanliang in the TV series Walking Feather Duster.
"At that time, I was under great psychological pressure, but I tried my best to make this character look like he was on me, not just for appearance. My eyes, actions, words and deeds were Geng Hanliang, and I always felt the state of this character, thus enriching the role." Huo Qing successfully portrayed Geng Hanliang's intelligent, calm, restrained, natural and unrestrained and courageous personality.
From Unforgettable Law, Heaven has Eyes, Walking Feather Duster, to My Brother's Name is Shun Liu, The Three Kingdoms, The Legend of Chu and Han ... one after another, Huo Qing's screen image began to be deeply rooted in people's hearts.
For people in their forties and fifties, it's a late bloomer, but for Huo Qing, who regained the opportunity, it's just the right time to work hard.
As far as the real screen hit is concerned, it is Lu Su in The Three Kingdoms directed by Gao Xixi.
Lu Su, played by Huo Qing, changed the image of an honest man in the old version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but was a little more wise and resolute. In order to play this role well, Huo Qing has read countless materials related to the Three Kingdoms, needless to say, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as well as various historical materials and pictures. "To portray a role, you must first be moved by the role. I really love and admire this role. Only when the audience sees my performance can they have a touching feeling."
The "Lu Su's Death" that touched countless audiences was actually changed by Huo Qing through his own understanding and on-site discussion with the director. Because the TV series shooting is not in the order of the plot, it is impossible to predict the display of the shooting scene. The script originally set Lu Su to die on the couch, and Huo Qing has been thinking about how to perform the play since he received the script.
At last, on the day of shooting, it rained heavily for three days in Jiaozuo, Henan Province, and the scene was muddy. When they arrived at the scene, the staff set up six cameras in advance, and the lighting, track and other equipment were also arranged. Huo Qing said softly, "It's not quite what I thought", and the director suspended his work to discuss with him.
Huo Qing said, "Lu Su should not die on the couch. He is such an adviser who is loyal to his master and devoted to the country. How can he die on his couch? " The director immediately decided to re-set the scene, which led to the scene where Lu Su dragged his terminally ill body to the front of the case and wrote a letter for the master.
With the role of Lu Su, Huo Qing received rave reviews, and the audience praised him: "This is the most perfect Lu Su." Before The Three Kingdoms, Huo Qing was famous for his excellent works. With superb acting skills, he took off from "Three Kingdoms" and became an out-and-out acting guarantee.
"I dare not feel sorry for the audience"?
Huo Qing, who was born in the Drama Troupe of the Railway Art Troupe, is still active in the drama stage. He starred in the large-scale drama "West Flower Hall Story" and "8 Li Cold" rehearsed by the Railway Art Troupe.
"I have a deep affection for drama performance." Huo Qing said, "When performing a drama, it is constantly pushed to the climax in the atmosphere where all actors and audiences are in the same foil. The spirit needs to be highly concentrated, and the whole performance is done in one go, and there is no chance to come back."
"The wind borrows the power of fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind"-in a drama performance, there is no camera switch to show the changes of scenes, emotions and atmosphere, which tests the basic skills of actors. "The' degree' of an actor's performance should be very precise, and one more point is redundant and one less point is not enough, so the performing arts should be both emotional and rational."
Huo Qing devoted all his thoughts to acting without reservation. "The same line, 1 people will have 1 ways to interpret. The rhythm, stress and pause of every sentence need careful scrutiny. Only when the lines are accurately spoken can the emotions and personalities of the characters be better reflected and the audience be brought into the play. If the lines are as boring as boiled water, it will be too sorry for the audience. " Huo Qing said.
In the interview, the phrase "I'm afraid I'm sorry for the audience" was always on Huo Qing's lips. "Looking back at the previous roles now, I find that there are places that can be improved. But as far as my conscience is concerned, every character has made every effort and is the best work in my heart. "
