It's his turn, and another real actor is about to meet
By |Nanfeng window reporter Yao Yuan.
Depart from Beijing.
Pan Binlong, from northeastern China, sometimes felt brief confusion during interviews. He is shy, even shy, with twinkling eyes and is not good at looking directly into the camera and the eyes of the interviewer.
Pan Binlong was a little inconspicuous and gentle. Just as in recent years, he has often participated in some popular movies, such as the blockbuster "Man Jianghong" directed by Zhang Yimou, but whether it is a roadshow or a live broadcast, Pan Binlong is always the one who is not very interested. Catch someone’s eye. Coming out of the sketch stage, he has an innate sense of humor, but he never offends others, but targets himself. His luggage is never ostentatious and well thought out.
The shy and empathetic Pan Binlong has a feeling of "tearing his face and flying" when he performs. It's like a carrot dangling in front of him, luring him to keep running towards sketches, variety shows, and screens.
The 46-year-old Pan Binlong finally ushered in the "rising period" of his acting career.
Pan Binlong played Ding Sanwang in the movie "Man Jianghong".
One movie "Priceless Treasure" starring Zhang Yi has not yet been released, and two movies "What's in the Zoo?"."Wild Child" will meet the audience in 2024. There is also a movie "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou. He couldn't help but laugh: "I'm lucky that my second collaboration with director Yimou came quickly. ”
The scriptures have been circulated one by one, and the inconspicuous Pan Binlong has now become a "hot item" in the film and television industry.
Talking about the development in the past few years, Pan Binlong's face was full of happiness, and his apple muscles also stood up as if he was tired. Some people say that he is a "late bloomer", but he admitted: "I don't know if he is a big bulk, but he must be a late bloomer." ”
Turning point. Actor Pan Binlong is most afraid of idleness. Only a fulfilling work schedule made him feel comfortable. If there is a brief gap in the schedule, he actively urges the agent to "find a job" for him.
A long time ago, he accepted all visitors and "accepted any job", so he was often a familiar face in comedy, for better or for worse. If you really can't get a role, go on a variety show.
But that's all in the past. Now, actor Pan Binlong has too many roles to choose, and even has to choose between the role and the script. His anxiety changed from "going to ** to find a job" to "thinking more about the quality of the performance and how to make the characters rich, three-dimensional, and lively".

In the past, Pan Binlong has been defined as a "comedian". He does not deny this, and he also understands that the label given to him by the industry is "not in keeping with the needs of the rapid development of the industry." With labels, you can move forward quickly and reduce the potential for errors."
But he didn't want to be confined to comedy forever. Comedy is just a skill, and his job is to be an actor. For example, in the popular movie "Priceless Treasure", Pan Binlong plays Yang Wu, a considerate, meticulous, and somewhat "mother-in-law" Northeast man. She and Shi Zhenbang, played by Zhang Yi, raised a nine-year-old girl Qianqian together. She said that Shi Zhenbang was like a stern father, while Yang Wu "mainly played the role of a mother".

In this dramatic comedy, Pan Binlong's performance is not stiff, but smooth and free, as if comedy is a series of life coincidences. In recent years and in the future, Pan Binlong has been researching how to integrate comedy functions into real-life performances without distraction.
When recalling her career development in the past three years, agent Li Xinying said that the turning point of the rise occurred in the variety show "I Am an Actor Season 3" in early 2021.
Before Pan Binlong accepted the invitation to record the performance, he was still a little nervous. "You have to think carefully and use your own money against others. But he also knew it was possible. "I want more people to see me. ”
Pan Binlong played Han Dezhong in the third season of "I Am an Actor", a father looking for his son "Dear".
Now, when the opportunity comes, leave no stone unturned to seize it. When choosing the script and role, Pan Binlong deliberately avoided the comedy elements that he was good at before and jumped out of his comfort zone. He depicts five fathers with different personalities and situations, whose themes are either sad or crazy. His biggest breakthrough was playing Zhang Yi's character Han Dezhong in the movie "Dear". During the performance, Pan Binlong always tried his best to suppress his emotions and not let others at the dinner table see his pain. At the moment when the director played his cards, tears welled up in his eyes.
After five rounds, he scored perfect marks for each of his performances.
Pan Binlong finally won the championship in the finals. When the results were announced, he held the trophy alof, his face could not hide his joy, but he was as calm and gentle as ever. He hugged his mentor, Zhang Ziyi, lifted him into the air and spun him. Pan Binlong ridiculed himself in the show that his advantage over other actors is "ugly and old", which became the focus of everyone's attention and congratulations.

Comedian Hu Xiaoyuan has cooperated with Pan Binlong since 2014 and is an old partner on the sketch stage. Hu Xiaoyuan ** the final of "I Am an Actor" on TV. He still remembers Pan Binlong's performance when he won the championship. "Because I'm also an actor. When I watch a show like this, I usually pay more attention to the performance. How to act here and learn Xi at **. The mentality is different from that of the general audience, and it is not easy to enter. But at that time, I was completely moved by Brother Pan's performance and entered the plot. ”
Hu Xiaoyuan has long known that Pan Binlong can do more life-like performances in addition to sketches, but he never expected that it would be "such a big change". It's difficult for an actor to break himself up and then put it back together. ”
Pan Binlong not only shattered himself, but also shattered people's existing expectations of him. With the trophy, he has shown his ability to master a variety of complex performances.

Li Xinying remembered that six months after the broadcast of "I Am an Actor", Pan Binlong's role suddenly tripled compared to the original. "Over the years, the number of books has gradually increased, and the number of books is about three times as many now as there were then," he said. "The initial invitation was mainly comedy, and the books I found after the show aired were divided into comedy and reality themes. Pan Ge's works have been published in recent years, and some directors have seen his ability to master different roles, and he will play more different roles later. ”
From this point of view, the turning point of Pan Binlong's career was every work he published and every role he played. The so-called turning point is actually every moment.
Laughter tears your face to shreds.
A sense of crisis has always lingered in Pan Binlong's body.
A colleague told reporters that Pan Binlong was an out-and-out "workaholic". In the past three years, he has worked almost all year round, and has stopped work whenever he is due to the force majeure of the epidemic. When he went directly from one crew member to another, his suitcase was always full. Usually after drinking the finale the day before, he will appear at the launch of the new crew the next day.
Li Xinying understands why Pan Binlong has such a strong sense of crisis. "He was a monk halfway through, and unlike other professional actors, he has had the opportunity to film since school. Brother Pan only started filming at the age of 38, and the opportunity was not easy to come by, and he wanted to seize it. ”
Pan Binlong shared his thoughts on participating in the show "I am an actor".
Judging from the industry average, Pan Binlong's screen debut is indeed long overdue.
At the age of 19, when other young people who wanted to be actors were admitted to the University of Applied Sciences, Pan Binlong entered the army and spent seven years in the army's art troupe. The experience of military drama performances cultivated Pan Binlong's dream of performing and cultivated it to take root.
When I performed on stage for the first time, the director of the Taiyuan Repertory Theatre arranged a four-page manuscript for me, the first page was only half a page, and it took me three days to complete, and I was very moved. "It was cramped, I was nervous. Trapped and unable to break free. Pan Binlong has told this story many times in previous interviews, but he still describes it vividly and positively.
This was the most important change or revelation in his acting career. "The director called all the actresses into the audience, made me dance and laugh on stage alone for 20 minutes, and asked me to tear my face to shreds in front of everyone, shatter the original me, and build up. "A new one, it's a painful process, but it's enough for me to remember for a lifetime. ”
The final sketch was a great success and the audience responded with warm applause.
Pan Binlong. Gradually, Pan Binlong became the mainstay of the army. "There are ten shows on one platform, and I'm at least seven or eight years old. I watched the show on stage and watched myself change clothes on stage. The warm and direct applause from his classmates gave him confidence in his performance ability, and at the same time, he enjoyed the performance.
When I tasted that pleasure, "I realized I really couldn't do anything else in my life," he said in an interview.
In 2001, when Pan Binlong was still in the army, he entered the ** Drama Academy for the first time to take the acting exam, but unfortunately he failed. Later, he became the ** of the folk actor Zhang Wenfu in the army, and learned that the ** opera house had a listening class. He thinks learning cross talk is a "shortcut". The cross talk class was jointly organized by Feng Gong and ** Drama Academy. Pan Binlong enrolled in 2004 and studied Xi for two years. After graduating, he naturally began to appear in the cross talk sketch shows of major TV stations, and successively participated in the recording of the songs "Happy City: Love Laughter Conference Room" and "Happy Comedian".

During this time, Pan Binlong's state was a little downhill, and he was much more comfortable than when he was in the army. He said that because he had been in the army for a long time, "there would be some connections to the comedy understanding of the young local actors, and I would be able to capture them." ”
He still remembers a time when he worked with other actors to think about the script and stayed up late, but at some point he got stuck and couldn't get by. Near dawn, he had an idea. She had a burden in her mouth, but the other actors revealed it first. Mr. Pan said the gap was only minutes or seconds, but it took him "a long time to catch up."
Hu Xiaoyuan met with Pan Binlong in "Love Laughter Conference Room". In his eyes, Pan Binlong's most prominent feature is that he is "good at listening to opinions". Hu Xiaoyuan believes that this is one of the reasons why Pan Binlong was able to successfully transform from a sketch actor to a film and television actor.
He is especially willing to ask the people around him, what do you think of me?Which is better?Which one is not good?Even if what everyone says is complex and fragmented, he will listen. ”

He still remembers that one night a few years ago, he suddenly received a ** from Pan Binlong, asking him to help watch the show. "At that time, everyone thought it was good, but he always felt that it was wrong, so he came to ask for my opinion. I said that some of the luggage may be a little old, but it may or may not be changed. Don't worry, as long as there are a few hours left, we'll be on stage to record. Pan Ge said, we have to change, just wait until dawn. ”
In the last two or three hours before dawn, Hu Xiaoyuan couldn't stand it anymore. But he remembered that Pan Binlong was revising the script all night for the next day's recording.
He was very tenacious. ”
Mom bought a violin.
Have you ever felt defeated and thought about giving up in the last few decades?In the interview, the reporter also asked Pan Binlong a common question, but the answer he got was unusual.
He said almost categorically, never. "I just wanted to do this, and I didn't go astray. I am very happy and lucky to be an actor. I will never give up. ”
Although Pan Binlong encountered difficulties as soon as he graduated from the China Theatre Academy. After graduating, he was unemployed. Together with his wife, he rented a house of less than 10 square meters to do weddings, host corporate events, give speeches, perform sketches, and even practice Xi chorus for primary and secondary school students. On the other hand, it is also to earn a living and support a family. Pan Binlong said: "I want to dabble in and learn everything related to Xi performance industry. ”

Hu Xiaoyuan said that Pan Binlong is the kind of person with strong self-healing ability. "For example, if my sketchbook for the Spring Festival Gala is killed, I may be uncomfortable and not recover for a week, and Brother Pan will also be uncomfortable, and it is impossible for him not to be uncomfortable. Not comfortable, but he will recover soon. ”
Asked Pan Binlong the same question, he looked at himself and felt that his optimistic, tenacious, and enterprising character traits really came from his mother.
In the same year, she was pregnant with Pan Binlong, but her mother was found to have rheumatic heart disease. Pan Binlong said that no matter how old she is, no matter how many years her mother has been ill. My mother was a very ordinary Northeast woman. "He has many unfulfilled dreams that he hopes will reflect on me. ”
Mom heard on the radio that a new batch of violins had been bought in Jixi City, Heilongjiang. He immediately bought one and found a teacher for his son. When Pan Binlong was a child, he didn't like to learn Xi and found it boring to learn Xi. Violins have high requirements for pitch, and it is difficult for beginners to control the pitch. "It's really worse than sawing wood. ”

At the time, he would not have believed that this annoying violin would later open the door to acting for him. At the age of 19, he was working for a recruitment company when a department manager came to check on his work. Pan Binlong took the initiative to inform him that he had artistic talent and could play the violin, so he sent him to prepare for theatrical performances. Later, he was transferred out of the acting group.
Somehow, Pan Binlong's mother gave him guidance at many key points in his life. Pan Binlong remembered that when he was in the army, he once told his mother that he wanted to make movies in the future. His mother didn't object, she just told him to read more. "After all, being an actor is not acting, it's a cultural achievement. ”
Later, I realized the true meaning of my mother's words. Now no matter how sleepy I am, I grit my teeth and insist on studying. He said.
In 2008, Pan Binlong and teacher Feng Gong appeared on the stage of the ** TV Spring Festival Gala together. He was so excited that he felt that he "should be red the next day". The mother said to him in **: "Son, your glory can only last tonight, and tomorrow morning you must start again." ”
At the 2008 Spring Festival Gala, Pan Binlong and his teacher Feng Gong performed "Bus Concerto" together.
His mother died, but Pan Binlong still remembered his mother's words in his heart. In June 2022, Zhang Yimou's director team invited Pan Binlong to play Ding Sanwang in the movie "Man Jianghong". Pan Binlong often said that he has a look of "no one can recognize him when thrown into the sea of people", which makes him suitable for playing a small person. Ding Sanwang is such a person, who speaks softly, but acts to set traps. He seems submissive, but when his anger erupts, he has the ability to push the storyline to a turning point.
Pan Binlong, in line with the mentality of a rookie actor, joined the crew more than 20 days in advance, just to see more and understand more. During the filming, whether there is a scene or not, whether it is morning or night, Pan Binlong will find a corner behind the director's screen to sit down and secretly learn Xi. Sometimes someone asks questions, and if director Zhang Yimou has time, he will actually turn around and talk to him and answer for more than ten or twenty minutes.
In the interview, he describes himself in three words: "dream, dissatisfied, competitive". Pan Binlong said that these three words are still the driving force for him to move forward. "Only when we are not satisfied, can we progress and move forward. Without that, we're really old. ”
Li Xinying said that these years have been a flourishing period for Pan Binlong's career development. 46 years of "prosperity" is not common even in the entertainment industry. "It's mostly about mentality," he said. "He's also eager to show more acting potential and try more roles. ”
And if you keep that mindset forever, an actor can rise all the time. Sometimes the upper limit of an actor or a person is given by him.
Pan Binlong is 46 years old this year, but he is still far from reaching his ceiling. "I'm never going to be the best. But as long as I do, there's always room for improvement, and I'm always closer to the best. "I like the feeling of being on the road," he said. ”
