I will always be an actor, until I can play mother, grandmother, I will act. Author |Edited by Charles |In 2022, the hit of the TV series "Ice, Rain and Fire" will let more people know the actor Tu Bing. Wan Mengmeng, who she plays in the play, is a rich second generation of drug addicts who plays a good hand of cards poorly, and she has a strong drama. For Tu Bing, winning the role of Wan Mengmeng is a bit of a twist and turn. At first, it was not determined, but it was not until before the start of "Ice, Rain and Fire" that she was invited to record a sample of the audition, and then joined the group to audition with her partner, and it was finally decided. This kind of twists and turns have not appeared in Tu Bing's career. After graduating from Zhejiang University of Media and Communication with a major in broadcasting and hosting, she originally worked as a host on Hunan Entertainment Channel, but because she came into contact with the station's self-made drama and played the female number one, she came up with a bold idea - to dismiss the station without telling her family and become an actor. In Tu Bing's view, this move is "particularly capricious". The heavy "iron rice bowl" in the eyes of others was lightly abandoned by her. Needless to say, just this one thing, everyone planted such an impression on her: Heh! What a bold girl!

What she thinks in her heart, how she will choose in action, just because she loves to perform when she pees, and is willing to do her best for it.

Tu Bing is not from an acting class and has not studied acting systematically, but she has an advantage, that is, she is not afraid of the camera. 's past hosting experience has made her desensitized to the camera. But it is obviously not enough to want to be an actor based on this alone, so in the first two years of acting, she had no skills, she could only act by feeling, "everything is real, the most real thing, without any skills, without any ways and means". At that time, she didn't receive any difficult roles. Most of the characters fit her age and temperament, such as a young and invincible beautiful girl, or a policewoman who adheres to justice. The turnaround occurred in 2019. This year, she played the role of international superstar Han Hui in "Downstairs Girlfriend Please Sign", a bright and glamorous beauty. Tu Bing believes that compared with the "Little White Flower" in the past, "she (Han Hui) is a more complex character, and she is also a more down-to-earth and real person, she is defined as a villain, but I didn't label her". By starring in Han Hui, Tu Bing has more experience in acting. For her at that time, this was an opportunity and a challenge. In order to better believe in the character, understand the character, and integrate into the character, she wrote an 8-page character biography for Han Hui, imagining and enriching the character's prehistory.

Luckily, she met a very accommodating team, and the creator adopted her "private creation" and filmed the biography and prehistory she wrote in the form of memories and flashbacks. This greatly encouraged Tu Bing. This practice of writing short biographies and prehistories for the characters was later continued by her and became a habit. In the play, Han Hui's values are not liked by the public. She is a somewhat selfish woman, who gave up love for her career in her early years, and when she became famous, she ran back to "eat back grass", wanting to get back her former love, and even a little unscrupulous for this. Tu Bing said: "From the current point of view, Han Hui's operation is actually quite a woman in the new era, she is not in love, and she knows what she wants." But Tu Bing did not fully approve of what Han Hua did. At least for Tu Bing, she will never be paranoid about hurting others in order to find love. She believes that "love is a natural thing, it is our luck to meet and cherish, if you can't meet it, you don't have to force it, it is not our necessities." When performing, because of her hosting experience, she can hold up the shelf and hold Han Hui's superstar aura. But she was actually very empty in her heart, afraid that she was not thin enough and not beautiful. In order to let Tu Bing confidently enter the role, the entire crew blew a "rainbow fart" for her, saying "Han Hua is so beautiful" and "Han Hua is so good", and everyone calls her Han Hua, not Tu Bing. After a long time, she naturally entered the role. Now mentioning this experience, Tu Bing can't help but say with emotion: "The success of a role is often not just an individual credit, but a team's credit, and the result of everyone's joint efforts." "In the past 5 years, Tu Bing's acting skills have improved a lot. She is a person who is good at learning, she will figure out other people's performances from various film and television works, and she also likes to steal teachers in the crew, like a sponge, drawing nourishment from the predecessors, partners, and directors she has worked with.

It's a good thing for an actor to get into the play, but the slowness in the play can sometimes become a problem. Tu Bing is "very slow to act", once she believes in a role, she will carry the shadow of this character on her body. She was unaware of it herself, and was told to her by someone else. Just after playing Han Hui, she went to the group to audition, at that time she still retained Han Hui's aura, and people who saw her for the first time said that she was cold, aggressive, and had a sense of distance. Later, she played Guo Fu in "The New Condor Heroes", and after the performance, she went to see the group for an audition, and she was "energetic", which brought Guo Fu's willfulness into life. Similarly, in the new drama "After Twilight", the heroine she plays, Yuan Xia, is a girl next door, gentle and kind, and after the series is completed, she is also evaluated as "next door" by people around her. Before that, she had not received such an evaluation. Looking back on the roles she has played in the past, Tu Bing believes that Lu Man in "A Good Life" is the most suitable for her own personality and temperament. Lu Man herself is a rich second generation, but she has broken people's stereotypes of the rich second generation. Lu Man "does a line of love, loves a line of drilling", and after inheriting the family business, he took care of the company in an orderly manner. Tu Bing and Lu Man have many similarities, they both have their own ideas, they are very independent, very righteous, and have strong execution, and she herself likes the role of Lu Man very much. After turning into an actor, Tu Bing took on complex roles. Whether it is Han Hua in "Downstairs Girlfriend Please Sign", or Wan Mengmeng in "Ice, Rain and Fire", and Guo Fu in "The New Condor Heroes", these characters are not positive characters in the traditional sense, but wander between black and white, with a certain gray scale. Tu Bing refuses to define them as "villains" in general, and she is reluctant to label the characters as stereotypical. The world generally defines Guo Fu as "brutal and willful", but Tu Bing came to a different opinion after reading the original book and various drama versions of "The Condor Heroes". She thinks that Guo Fu is not a brainless person, willful for the sake of willfulness, and brutal for the sake of being brutal, everything is caused by the environment, and it is the stars of the people around her who shape her. And Guo Fu cut off Yang Guo's arm, which was even more unintentional, she didn't expect that Yang Guo had injuries in her body, and she couldn't fight back, and she didn't even have room to dodge. For Yang Guo, Guo Fu has mixed feelings, she likes him, can't get him, can't get him, but can't let him go. In order to attract Yang Guo's attention, Guo Fu always makes some willful actions, which is actually a kind of girl's naivety, twisted and real, many people have experienced it. Tu Bing analyzed. This kind of in-depth texture cognition makes it much easier for Tu Bing to interpret the role. She likes to dig out the characteristics of the characters, and she also likes to refine the keywords for the characters. For example, when refining keywords for Wan Mengmeng in "Ice, Rain and Fire", she tightly grasped the word "lack of love". She thinks that Wan Mengmeng is very lacking in love, and "we are addicted to anything, in essence, we lack love, whether it is Internet addiction or drug addiction, all kinds of addiction are actually because your heart is empty and you have no love."

Tu Bing believes that Wan Mengmeng's father trafficked drugs, she lost her mother when she was a child, and her mother died because of her father's drug trafficking. This made her pee and planted the seeds of resentment towards her father. So she later tried her best to rebel against her father and take revenge on her father in the most ruthless way. This is a pathetic and pathetic character. In order to play Wan Mengmeng well, Tu Bing suffered a lot. Just to perform the onset of drug addiction in the role, she studied hard for a long time. She has collected a large number of anti-drug documentaries to imitate the uncontrolled state of drug addicts when they are addicted. At the same time, in order to show the weakness of the character, she did not wear base makeup when she performed, only put on special "drug addiction makeup", dark circles around her eyes, and scraped dead skin on the whites of her lips. During the filming, she hardly ate carbohydrates every day, only protein, chicken, beef, boiled vegetables, and lost weight all the time. Relying on this hard work, Tu Bing finally achieved the role of Wan Mengmeng, and she was also fed back by the role and paid attention to by the audience. "This role is actually a character that took me out of the circle", Tu Bing described it, she thanked Wan Mengmeng and "Ice, Rain and Fire".

Tu Bing likes to put the audience first. On weekdays, she occasionally pays attention to the audience's feedback on her character. Whether the feedback is positive or negative, she takes it all. Because having a discussion means that she has been noticed, and if a character is not being discussed, it means that the character is not causing any resonance. So all kinds of discussions about the role make her happy and make her feel satisfied, "Being seen by everyone is my greatest luck". As for the negative evaluations that are non-existent and rise to her own because of the role, she doesn't take it to heart at all. She is most concerned about the performance issues, and once she finds such problems, she must look back at the work and carefully scrutinize it. If there is really a problem pointed out by netizens, she will humbly correct it in the future. When an actor performs, he often touches on three "forces", sensibility, explosiveness and appeal. If Tu Bing were to rank these three "forces", she would put the appeal first. In her view, the appeal is the closest "force" to the audience, and when the audience resonates, the story and characters are established. Make the character contagious, and be responsible for the audience. She believes: "Sensibility and explosiveness are your own and can be placed in a secondary position, because you can't just take care of yourself as an actor." At present, the audience often comments on the performances of young actors, that is, "using too much force". What kind of performance is this? To put it bluntly, in fact, when the actor performs, he feels that he is acting very well, very cool, and he is very moved, but the audience is very embarrassed to watch, or there is no way to substitute for him. This kind of performance is obviously undesirable, and what Tu Bing pursues is "to strive to become an actor who makes the audience feel immersed". Viewers who have watched the tidbits of "Ice, Rain and Fire" may remember a detail: The actor who played against Tu Bing sprayed snot and tears on her clothes because he was overly involved. In fact, at the scene, when she was immersed in that state of performance, she didn't notice these small details at all. "When you're really engaged in that moment, you don't have these distractions, and when you're acting in a so-called outburst or a big emotion, you don't care about anything other than the play." It wasn't until she looked back afterwards that she noticed this, and she was also deeply attracted to herself at the time, exclaiming, "Wow, we're all so engaged."

Perhaps, this is the beauty of acting, it can give people a reason to pay full attention and devote themselves to it. Tu Bing is passionate about her acting career, she feels that aside from those false halos, the profession of an actor is the same as all professions, it is a job, "It is with you, with him, we are all the same, we are all workers." The only thing I'm lucky and worth mentioning is that I love this job. This job gives me a lot of motivation and allows me to see my inner self." In the future, Tu Bing hopes to have the opportunity to interpret the kind of role with a very long growth arc. She smiled and said that she would love to try that kind of smart, glamorous and capable female **. She is also full of yearning for filming action scenes, and most of the action scenes in "The New Condor Heroes" are also played by her personally. In the future, she is willing to try more as long as she has the opportunity. Faced with an unknown acting career, Tu Bing chose to move forward steadily. She hopes to meet more characters she likes, and if she can't meet them, then no matter what role she is, as long as it is given to her, she will interpret it seriously. She hopes to make the audience find resonance in her, and also hopes to bring more and better works to the audience, so that the audience can see what they want to see. "If nothing else, I will always be an actor, always do, always do, until I can play mother, grandmother, I will act. This plain sentence reveals Tu Bing's love for performance and her expectations for the future.
