Fan Wei has been in the entertainment industry for more than 40 years, and in the eyes of the public, his identity and image have been changing from cross talk and sketch acting to TV series and movies, but outside the spotlight, he said that his sensitive, restrained, and unconfident nature has never changed. This kind of personality once caused him to lose himself, but it also made him feel awe of the character.

Special planning for the Spring Festival.
Fan Wei told about himself.
"Retreat" and "advance" on the road of performing arts
In Fan Wei's own words, his acting career "anchored the starting point" when he was about 10 years old.
That year, a neighbor borrowed a tape recorder and could talk and sing to it, and then tape it and listen to it repeatedly. In the face of this rarity, the two families got together and talked and sang like a party. After the recording, Fan Wei was unanimously praised by everyone: "Xiaowei sings the best, and he is the material for being an actor." ”
This compliment was firmly remembered by Fan Wei. In order to become an actor, in the next few years, he joined the school's art team and found a teacher to learn cross talk. For a while, in order to speak Mandarin well, he even "swollen his tongue". It is this kind of hard work and perseverance that makes his dream take root step by step.
More than 20 years later, Fan Wei finally waited for his opportunity. In 1995, he appeared on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time as a sketch actor. However, as a supporting role, he did not become an instant hit. The day after the performance, he took the train from Beijing back to Shenyang, and no one knew him on the way.
This went on for several years, and it wasn't until the skit "Red Sorghum Models" that the audience began to pay attention to him, and later the sketch "Selling Abduction" and other works made this attention even higher.

Fan Wei said that he is a person who is both dull and sensitive. The first time he performed at the Spring Festival Gala, he didn't realize the huge influence of this stage, but as he slowly became popular, he felt more and more responsible.
Perhaps because of too much psychological pressure, in 2005, Fan Wei said the wrong word in the first sentence on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. He paused slightly, then finished the follow-up performance.
At that time, many viewers did not notice this mistake, and some even thought that it was a special design of the show, but this indelible flaw became Fan Wei's heart knot. "Because the sketch pays attention to the overall rhythm, it is done in one go, and once you say it wrong, the rhythm will be ruined. ”
After sketch actor Fan Wei gradually faded out of the public's sight, people began to see "film and television actor Fan Wei" more and more in TV series and movies.

When it comes to the change of Fan Wei's identity and image, everyone often uses such a word: retreat bravely from the rapids. But in Fan Wei's view, this is not a "retreat".
Sketches are different from cross talk, you can't act in sketches with traces of cross talk; TV series are different from sketches, you can't apply the experience of sketches to act in TV series; Similarly, movies and TV series are not the same. ”
In Fan Wei's view, constantly peeling off the symbols on his body is a new departure and the "progress" of his life.
Whether it is a comedy, a drama or an online drama, Fan Wei loves to play the "little person" very much. "They may not be perfect, they have human weaknesses of one kind or another, but warmth and kindness are their eternal undertones. Fan Wei said that playing a "little person", the most important thing is "role landing".
When he was a child, the neighbors who played and sang in the alley became the material library for him to play the "little people". Once, details such as his father wearing a cotton mask and patting off the dust on the car seat were used by him in his performance.

In order to play every "little person" well, Fan Wei always reminds himself that he can't separate his performance from life. So every once in a while, he would put on a mask and walk around the park. "In short, go to the river of life. ”
In the long-term exploration, Fan Wei also found his own performance style.
He plays a comedy character, and often says those lines that make people laugh very sincerely, which is quite a feeling of "serious nonsense", but he can always collide with different effects. Fan Wei said that he has never regarded himself as a "comedian": "Once you treat yourself as a comedian, you will unconsciously squeeze your eyebrows to show your shallowness and your ridiculousness." ”
He portrays tragic characters, and he can always lift weights like light. In the TV series "The Long Season", Wang Xiang played by Fan Wei dreamed of his deceased son, which could have been sensational at this time, but Fan Wei's way of dealing with it was to laugh, he didn't cry or shout, but caused many viewers to cry.

Fan Wei said that he never considered himself a talented actor, but admitted that he was a hard-working actor. "When I do something, my instinctive reaction is not to be confident. I had to work hard and a lot of preparation to build my faith, and I spent eight hours for four hours. ”
is different from the happy or sad characters on the screen, Fan Wei in life speaks and behaves more like an elegant intellectual, he speaks slowly and logically, and his tone is not high but relaxed.
Fan Wei said that in more than 40 years of art, he has had successes and experienced troughs, but his sensitive, restrained, and unconfident nature has never changed.
He doesn't like to socialize, and he never participates in variety shows, and his greatest pleasure is to cook for his family, and his cooking skills are "better than what the whole family cooks". He said: "I don't like to chat myself, and I will only be handy when I enter a role, but in variety shows, I need to present myself, and I have obstacles at this time." ”
In his early years, this kind of personality brought him a lot of depression and missed many opportunities because of it. But looking back now, it is precisely this "imperfection" that has made Fan Wei what he is today. Low self-esteem and sensitivity are internal frictions, but they have also been transformed into a kind of seriousness and awe of the acting career. is not familiar with the world, but also makes him calm enough to quietly appreciate each role.
I am 61 years old this year, and at this point in my life, I have a sense of suddenness, feeling that the road ahead is endless and the world is vast. I yearn for new landscapes, and I hope I still have the ability to walk in front of them. For this, I am willing to set off again and again. ”
On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, Fan Wei said that his wish is the same as in previous years: to be healthy, in a happy mood, and to be able to play more good roles.
