On November 14, Yu Haoming's 34th birthday, on this day, he starred in the movie "Railway Hero" held a grand premiere in Beijing, for the film promotion of a busy day Yu Haoming said that the birthday was "tired and happy", "At the time of the 34th birthday, there is a movie of his own, which is a gift of extraordinary significance." In an interview with beijing youth daily "entertainment", Yu Haoming said with a smile that according to the previous ideal, he was already the "best actor" at the age of 34, and now the ideal has not yet been realized, and he still has to work hard.
Shoot the "pickpocket train" shot
Admire the heroes of the year
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the "Lunan Railway Brigade" of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army pickpocketed trains, seized materials and weapons in the Japanese-ravaged Lunan area, creating many shocking achievements and dealing a heavy blow to the enemy.
Yu Haoming said that the reason why he joined "Railway Hero" was initially attracted by this excellent crew, felt the opportunity to cooperate with a good director and a good actor, and after understanding more of the core of the story and returning to the content of the script itself, he was deeply moved by the heroic deeds of the Lunan Railway Team, "Each of them is an ordinary person, in the context of such a big era, but they will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the country, what kind of feelings do they respond to when they do such dangerous things?" As I worked, these became more and more attractive to me. ”
Playing a heroic role is what Yu Haoming has always longed for, "Who has not had a hero dream since childhood?" As a boy, I will always yearn for this bloody male image of flesh and blood. ”
In the film, Yu Haoming plays Lin Dong, ostensibly a porter at the station and secretly an intelligence officer for the guerrillas. That is to say, this character is not a hero who confronts the enemy head-on, but needs to make himself more ordinary, the lower the sense of existence, the better, "so, I give this character a greasy, prickly appearance, to better cover themselves, blur the enemy's vision, because the railway guerrillas live under the surveillance of the Japanese all the time, how can they hide their identities in such an environment, this is the first skill." ”
The story of the railway guerrillas slicing and freely picking up the speeding train is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is naturally such a plot in the movie "Railway Hero", mentioning this, Yu Haoming sighed: "It is too difficult." He revealed that the crew did not let them do much training at the beginning, because the action director thought that the train shot was too dangerous and did not intend to let the actors shoot themselves, "We insisted that we wanted to feel it ourselves, but it turned out that the difficulty was very, very large, and without the help of Wei Ya and the Wuxing brothers, we could not complete it on our own." ”
With this personal feeling, Yu Haoming deeply admired those Flying Tigers heroes, "At that time, they did not have any assistance, and they picked up the fast-moving train, how difficult it was, they were too powerful." ”
Affected by Zhang Hanyu's aura
Follow him without dragging mud with water
Although the story of the railway guerrillas took place in Lunan, Yu Haoming revealed that they were filmed in Tieling, Northeast China, "because the original site has changed too much to be filmed, and we restored the scene at that time 1:1." ”
In terms of art scenery, "Railway Hero" restores the appearance of the northern industrial town in the 1930s, in addition to the transformation of the entire street, it also transports more than 10 tons of train parts to fill the workshop, pave the floor with cinder, and strive to be closest to the living and working environment of the northerners at that time. From the steam train at that time to the train station platform, including the signs on the platform, there are evidence-based. The costumes and shapes of the characters, as well as props such as trains and guns, have also been carefully studied.
The cold weather during the shooting seemed to Yu Haoming to be an insignificant problem, "We are all wearing several layers of cotton clothes, each of us is a dozen pounds, twenty pounds of weight, we wear so bloated, but to show the clean and neat movements, this is quite difficult." ”
Zhang Hanyu played the captain Lao Hong in the film, he charged forward, leading everyone to hold a gun to fight, as one of the team members, Yu Haoming and Zhang Hanyu played a lot of opponents in the film, and mentioned Zhang Hanyu, Yu Haoming praised: "He really revealed a clean, crisp, male hormone powerful force from the inside out, the content of our shooting scene is relatively complex, but Han Yu brother can grasp the key points at once, and show it on the spot, and each point of strength is grasped accurately." In the process of filming, we will also be driven by this rhythm of his, will not drag mud and water or drag rhythm, will be affected by Han Yuge's aura, all follow his rhythm. ”
Looking back at the first performance
Experiencing a "Comparative Disaster"
Yu Haoming participated in the happy male voice in 2007 and won the sixth place in the country, debuting as a singer, but now he is more and more determined on the road of actor, starring in many works and being recognized by the audience.
Talking about why he is obsessed with acting, Yu Haoming said that performance is like a mirror for him, "A very big motivation for me is to recognize myself, because there are many times, we experience different personalities of characters through performance, you can see the changes in life, and these roles can also mirror yourself, you will correspond to see how I am, what kind of person should I become? If I see their drawbacks in some of the characters, I'll be better able to circumvent them later. ”
Recalling his first experience as an actor, Yu Haoming bluntly said "embarrassing": "It should be filming "Let's See the Meteor Shower", the scene is still quite memorable, when shooting the first scene, I really didn't understand anything, just standing there alone, at that time it was basically a blank piece of paper, how to stand on the camera, how to act I didn't understand, very embarrassing, very stiff, more catastrophic experience. ”
Compared with then, Yu Haoming laughed and said that now it is relatively "smooth", but it is far from the degree of "surplus", "I think the charm of the profession of actor is that it is a profession and a career that learns endlessly, and maybe no actor can say that I have reached the peak state of an actor, with the growth of age, the harvest of experience, when the understanding of life experience is different, his actor's identity will also be different." ”
For how to improve their acting skills, Yu Haoming said that in addition to accumulating acting experience, learning more, and observing more, there is also "good life": "The meaning of a good life is that we must make our lives relatively colorful, do some experiences outside the regulations, and then harvest more possibilities." I think the core of being a good actor is more about his understanding of the world, his cognition of people, and his understanding of society, which are very important elements, and to a certain extent, in order to become a good actor, to be able to give the character a kind of ability. ”
The turning point in Yu Haoming's acting career was 2017's "That Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Round", and the villain he portrayed, Du Mingli, was a great success and was nominated for the 2018 Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Yu Haoming admitted that he would not act before this, it was all superficial performances, "Until this "That Year the Flowers Bloom and the Moon Is Round", after the guidance of professional tutors, I realized what acting is, how do you shape a character, how to tap into a character's inner very deep characteristics, how should you do your homework? How do you go to understand a play, to understand the script. That role allowed me to completely break with my previous self, reshape, re-establish my understanding of acting, and I began to understand that acting was like this. ”
This villain image made Yu Haoming's acting skills affirmed, but Yu Haoming said that before taking on this role, he had hesitated, that is, he was worried that playing the villain would be scolded, "I did my own ideological work, I felt that playing the villain role is not how bad he is, but more about how he became a bad person, why would he do such a thing in such a way." Allowing myself to know human nature in a higher dimension and think deeper is the motivation that allows me to act, and it is also because of this attraction that I overcome the so-called fear of villains. ”
It's been a more winding road
Be clear about what you want
Yu Haoming's life suffered setbacks in 2010, when Yu Haoming, who had not yet passed his 23rd birthday, was accidentally burned due to filming, and after recuperation, he returned on December 31, 2012. Yu Haoming said that he feels lucky that "I have walked a more tortuous road before, so I can be more aware of what I really want, and I think I am in a very good state now." Let me know what can be done and what can not be done. Relatively speaking, I've started doing subtraction. ”
Yu Haoming, who is already 34 years old, feels that his current self is a bit behind his life expectations, "I previously imagined that I was already a movie emperor when I was in my thirties, and now I am still slowly working hard. Yu Haoming hopes to play more different types of roles in the future and cooperate with excellent teams, "Before, my idea was that there were more abundant roles coming to me, and I wanted to grasp them, but now my thinking has changed, and many times I think that only a good role is not enough, and I have to find good opponents, good directors, and good production teams to give this role vitality." It's hard to do it alone, and the success of a character isn't just the success of the actor alone, but the whole team, including the director, and your collaborators. ”
Yu Haoming likes the positive energy film "Railway Hero", which carries forward the main theme, because he feels that young people and children are influenced by patriotic feelings, and they need to have very specific works such as film and television works to give them the right guidance, and participating in such works is also a reminder of their professional ethics at all times.
Asked Yu Haoming what he thinks is a hero, Yu Haoming said: "A hero is a kind of inner heat, it doesn't matter what he does, in fact, a very small thing can become a hero, just like not long ago, the female owner of the 'Su FU865G' picked up the garbage thrown away in the front car, which is a particularly small behavior, but I think people with this mentality can be called heroes." Because this kind of person can have that kind of big feeling to lead him when he encounters anything, I think this is a hero, a quality in his heart. "Xiao Yang
