The "silent" show "Flowers" is punctual every night**, whether it's on the TV screen, on the Internet, on social**, or in most people's social circles. "Flowers" is a work full of warmth and warmth. Among the many people who are called "Shanghai Grandpa", there is one is Allah, a face that is very familiar to Shanghainese - that is the burlesque actor Chen Guoqing, who everyone affectionately calls Ah Qing. As an authentic old audience, he has a special and intimate feeling for the characters he creates. This time, his role as Mr. Ge in the play completely changed his previous image: his fresh hairstyle, well-dressed clothes, natural and smooth performance, and he spoke the pure Shanghai dialect, so he was affectionately known by the audience as "Tony Leung on the Jinxian Road".
Yesterday, Chen Guoqing was conducting an intense rehearsal for the crew of the burlesque "Baoxingli" and accepted an exclusive interview with reporters. "Flowers is a very good work. I loved watching it and I've always wanted to make this movie. When mentioning the work "Flowers", his heart was filled with countless words, but he still did not forget the director's advice: "The spoiler is not good, only 'not ringing' can really 'ring'." ”
The core point of the performance is to ensure a harmonious balance between the stage and the film.
As we all know, burlesque actors need to be proficient in the "eighteen kinds of martial arts", in which speaking, learning, teasing, and singing are all basic skills, and they also need to create attractive effects and reduce burdens. However, when you walked into the crew, did you ever think about having your own set of acting skills?Do these tips really apply in the production of a TV series?During the audition process, the director asked Ah Qing to use dialects, and tried Northern Jiangsu, Ningbo and Shaoxing dialects, and finally decided to let him play the role of "Teacher Ge".
In the performance of TV dramas, natural, smooth and life-like elements are highly valued. Before Chen Guoqing officially joined the crew, he had already drawn a "portrait" of "Teacher Ge", a substitute teacher in a private primary school with a certain cultural accomplishment but little practical teaching experience. He owns several properties, and as a landlord on Jinxian Road, he is neither visible nor dewy;He has a group of children and lives in a building. He has a respectful attitude towards people who are knowledgeable and highly educated, and dresses up elegantly and politely in his daily lifeThe room he lived in was not air-conditioned, but it had a large bookshelf and bookcase. His heart is full of kindness and affection, and he sees tenants as neighbors. As soon as he appeared, "Reiko" bluntly pointed out that what Mr. Ge borrowed was not real estate, but the fun of life." He is an "old acquaintance", and the old couple live in their new house. When the new tenant and his single sister-in-law moved to a new home, he didn't even have time for breakfast, so he took the initiative to lend a helping hand and kept busy.
Ah Qing's outstanding performance in the TV series "Flowers" has been highly praised for his "high adaptability", not only because he accurately captured the emotions of the characters, but more importantly, he successfully found the best balance between the two forms of performance: stage and TV series. In him, there is a spirit of "not seeking perfection, only seeking truth", and it is this pursuit of "not seeking perfection" that makes him a highlight and highlight in the play. In the play, he deftly captures the protrusive nature of burlesque and skillfully incorporates these techniques into natural performances. He said: "Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, and Chen Long are all experienced actors, and although they are younger than me, they have performed on the screen for much longer than me. From the camera's point of view, they are all my mentors. My task is to fully integrate into them and definitely not jump out. It seems strange that once their performance leaves a trace, it destroys the overall sense of harmony. ”
The biggest test I faced was that my Mandarin skills were fairly average.
Regarding the rumors that Hu Ge learned the Shanghai dialect from him, he responded: "Actually, no one will ask him for advice. Shanghai's dialect is constantly changing. Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, Chen Long, and Papi Sauce's generation of Shanghainese among their peers are 'bumpy', but they don't speak it as often as we do. Therefore, in some special words, people often learn from each other and discuss them. ”
Although Ah Qing's role as Mr. Ge is only a supporting role, he never feels any pressure: "As long as I am allowed to express it in the Shanghai dialect, I will not be afraid of so many lines." "It's not my job, I'm going to be realistic. However, he never expected that the biggest challenge in the filming of this film would be Mandarin: "In post-production, Ira asked me to match Mandarin, I was really anxious, my Mandarin was so ordinary, I discussed it with them, and I was willing to pay for the dubbing teacher myself, but Ira didn't agree. In the end, the director was very considerate and asked me to listen to Chen Long's collocation first, and it turned out that Hupu was not a problem, which reassured me. ”
Although Mr. Ge's appearances are not frequent, netizens have edited it into a picture of "**Aqing is busy preparing for the performance of "Baoxingli", although he did not realize that he had left this circle, but he has both the pride and reluctance of the characters in the play for "Flowers", as well as the curiosity and expectations of fans. He said: "After finishing 'Po Hing Lane', I also want to join the ranks of chasing dramas, because no one knows the final ending except director Wong Kar-wai, and we also want to know what plays have been retained in the end. ”
When it comes to directing, all artists strive for perfection.
When Chen Guoqing was filming "Flowers", he usually received the script to be filmed the next day one day in advance. He told reporters, "I don't know what it's called'Cool'I just like this word because it's so appropriate for this era!He expressed this opinion: "As long as we all have faith in the director and can perform the scene perfectly, that's enough." Ah Qing thinks that the "cool actor" of the "King of Sunglasses" is very attentive and considerate: "In the crew, he is the only one who communicates with the actors completely in Shanghainese, and he speaks Shanghainese with a strong Shanghainese accent. Since he often "had long standbys" while filming films, some people thought he was too fussy and difficult to handle. "He was very strict with the script, and I often had to revise a lot during filming, but every time I made changes, I found something different. However, in the process of working together, Ah Qing believes that Wong Kar-wai has always pursued excellence and perfection, which is also "the common pursuit of artists." ”
Wong Kar-wai is not the kind of director who will behave like a wow-wah on set, he cares a lot about the needs of the actors. He likes to treat actors as friends and relatives. If it fails to meet his expectations, he may repeat it a few times before walking up to the actor and whispering in his ear: "I will never say you in front of everyone and embarrass you"...
