Does anyone know who played Fan Li in CCTV's "Sleeping on a Hard Job"?
In this film, Jia Yiping, a powerful young man who became popular because of starring in many hit dramas such as Divorce in Chinese Style, Sunset in Blood, and Beauty Worried to Marry, plays Fan Li, the military adviser of the King of Yue (blog). This is a well-known but rarely recorded figure, and Jia Yiping regards it as a challenge. In order to play the role of Fan Li well, Jia Yiping made a lot of preparations and consulted a lot of materials. From the beginning, he was familiar with the lifestyle of the ancients and learned how the ancients talked and walked. "Historical figures are too far away from our lives. Every time I put on makeup, put on a wig, put on a beard and do some actions in my original life, I feel out of place. Therefore, the means used in modern performances are useless, so Jia Yiping said:
Viewers who have watched TV series will find that young Jia Yiping was deliberately "aged" and stuck on a long beard in Eat Hard. Jia Yiping explained: "Fan Li, who just arrived in Yue State in history, was very young, and the makeup teacher of the crew didn't want me to stick a beard at first, but because most of the actors who played courtiers in the play were old artists, Fan Li was the first hero of Gou Jian's revival. In a group of old ministers, if the shape is too young, it will make the audience feel distorted and unbelievable. So before the boot, director Hou Yong decided to' age me' this time, but I think this style is still good and I hope it can be accepted by the audience! "
