"The Legend of Zhen Huan" was originally **, and later director Zheng Xiaolong wanted to make it into a TV series, after the leading actor was selected at that time, as soon as the news came out, the male and female protagonists were not favored.
At that time, Sun Li was set to play Zhen Huan, and Chen Jianbin was set to play Emperor Yongzheng, ** fans felt that Sun Li's appearance was not high, and she was not very in line with the heroine, and in comparison, Chen Jianbin was even less optimistic.
* The male protagonist is a handsome young man, and Chen Jianbin was in his 40s at the time. At the same time, there is also a Qing palace drama "Step by Step Shocking", in which Yongzheng is played by Wu Qilong, although Wu Qilong is the same age as Chen Jianbin and Chen Jianbin , but the appearance of the two is far apart.
Wu Qilong, as the lead singer of the Little Tigers, looks ten years younger than Chen Jianbin of the same age, and Chen Jianbin has small eyes, does not like to laugh, looks very cunning, and has played Cao Cao in "Three Kingdoms".
But director Zheng Xiaolong overrode public opinion and asked Chen Jianbin to play Yongzheng. He had two considerations:
First, it was originally an overhead dynasty, and there was no one in history. After the adaptation, the story was put on the Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Emperor Yongzheng is also in his 40s when he ascends the throne, and Chen Jianbin plays the role of Emperor Yongzheng in history, which is very in line with the age of Emperor Yongzheng in history, and the portrait of Emperor Yongzheng in history is similar to Chen Jianbin .
Before that, Chen Jianbin had acted in popular TV series such as "Ten Years of Marriage", "Qiao's Courtyard" and "Three Kingdoms", and won many film and television awards, so he can be called a proper acting actor.
The director doesn't want to make this drama into an idol drama, but wants to make it a drama, but there are too many actresses in the play, and they are all very good-looking, so the actor must find a powerful actor, and the appearance does not need to be high, the key is the acting skills.
In the process of filming, Zheng Xiaolong repeatedly watched the filmed clips, and once he found that there was a plot that was biased towards idol dramas, he quickly corrected it.
But I didn't expect that after the broadcast, the audience boycotted the fat and old Chen Jianbin very much, and the TV station even received complaints from many viewers.
In the play, Yongzheng played by Chen Jianbin is crooked there all day long, either eating melon seeds or stilting his legs, squinting his small eyes when looking at people, many viewers feel that it is far from the characters in the original work.
Because there were many complaints, the TV station even planned to deal with it appropriately, but director Zheng Xiaolong insisted when he heard about it: Chen Jianbin acted more in line with Yongzheng in history, and if you want to watch idol dramas, don't watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
In the face of denial and doubts, Chen Jianbin seemed a little innocent, he felt that he was very satisfied with his image and performance in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and felt that he was very in line with Yongzheng's image in terms of age and temperament.
As for some of the details criticized by the audience, he said that this was carefully arranged by the director, plus his pondering of the plot and characters.
Director Zheng Xiaolong is also very satisfied with Chen Jianbin 's performance, he feels that among the many red flowers, Chen Jianbin is a green leaf foil, and it is precisely because of his excellent acting skills that this drama is better-looking, and the sense of vicissitudes is more in line with history.
The audience, who was not optimistic about Chen Jianbin at first, slowly changed their concepts, because many people found that Yongzheng played by Chen Jianbin played by Chen Jianbin after brushing it several times performed the coldness, shrewdness, ruthlessness and entanglement of an emperor.
In the play, the emperor seems to be good to any concubine, but the good is also different, he is a routine politeness to the queen; has true feelings for Concubine Hua, not much, more is jealous of her brother's power.
For Meizhuang, I like her dignified atmosphere and let her assist in the sixth house, but after the "fake pregnancy incident", she suddenly became ruthless.
For Zhen Huan, he likes her appearance like Chunyuan, likes her intelligence and talent, but he is afraid of her participation in court politics, and sometimes wants to listen to her opinions, at this time Yongzheng is entangled.
For An Lingrong, Qi Guiren and others, the emperor also likes things, but he pays more attention to his own authority, and in them, he prefers their initiative and obedience.
In the process of acting, Chen Jianbin often adds drama according to his understanding and knowledge of the plotFor example, he was not familiar with Jiang Xin who played Concubine Hua at first, but when the two were filming each other's scenes, they slapped each other's buttocks, which made Jiang Xin a little embarrassed, and then felt that this place was exactly the right amount of ambiguity that the plot needed.
In the play, Chen Jianbin pays great attention to the grasp of details, for example, he suspected that Zhen Huan initially liked King Guojun, not him, under the addition of Cao Guiren, he kept his head down and looked at Zhen Huan incorrectly, and then Zhen Huan explained to him satisfactorily, so he raised his head.
At the beginning of his affection with Meizhuang, Meizhuang leaned on his shoulder with a smile, while he squinted at the sky ......There are many similar details, and he deduces the changeability, suspicion, and selfishness of an emperor.
When filming, it should not be filmed in the order of the plot, but Chen Jianbin presents various states very naturally, which can be said to be very silky and seamless, I have to say that his acting skills are still praiseworthy.
