Qiu Xinzhi has a sense of youth, which does not mean that he is not old. Indeed, he was born with a smiling and youthful face, which is a wonderful contrast with the age of 53. But the traces of time are also clearly visible in him, and he has not hidden this. The "sense of youth" stems from his attitude towards life in the face of the media: optimism and less worry, looking forward to the future.

In the hit drama "Sword Line in the Snow", the "sword god" Li Chungang, played by him, is worth a lot of strength, but in his daily life, he is an old man who wears a torn sheepskin fur, has a sloppy image, and picks his feet and digs his nose when there is nothing to do. But in his view, Li Chungang is like an idol who has let go of the "idol baggage" and has already wanted to understand what life is like, so he is willing to live comfortably and freely, and does not care about the eyes of others.
Whether it is the current "scruffy old man" or the "silly Forrest Gump" in the early years, Qiu Xinzhi never rejects or even looks forward to playing a role that is very different from his handsome appearance. "I want to act in everything, I want to try everything, and if I don't do it, I can find that I have other potential." The profession of actor is like dismantling a blind box, and who knows what surprise roles will be waiting for me in the next ten years. ”

The improved Li Chungang is more humane and more cute
When Cao Huayi, the producer of "The Knife in the Snow", invited Qiu Xinzhi to play the role of Li Chungang, he was not surprised. "Since cooperating in "Breaking the Sky", the role that Boss Cao has given me is very different from my own every time, and it is also very different from my previous play path. Since he dared to trust me, I was certainly willing to try any role. Before playing Li Chungang, he learned in detail about the story of "Knife Line in the Snow", and also searched for the comic image of Li Chungang drawn by netizens on the Internet, and soon fell in love with this role, and was excited to wait for the makeup modeling.
Qiu Xinzhi believes that Li Chungang is extremely manly, very crazy and confident.
Qiu Xinzhi believes that Li Chungang is very manly - "Heaven does not give birth to me Li Chungang, kendo is like a long night", very crazy and confident, but he also has such strength; the first time he fought against Wang Xianzhi, he did not exert his full strength, because he would rather lose himself; he had the heart to share his own tricks with the people of the world, "May everyone in the world's sincere swordsman have two sleeves of green snakes, and surprise everyone in the future generations can open the gate of heaven with a sword." On the other hand, Li Chungang has changed a lot from young to old. "When he was young, his sword skills were unmatched, and the jade tree was windy, and the people in the rivers and lakes learned his sword and his type, just like the idols now." Later, because of the death of the green robe of the capital, he imprisoned himself for decades, and after he came out, he saw a lot of things, and completely put down the burden of idols and truly be himself. ”
Li Chungang, who came out of the Tingchao Pavilion, wore a ragged sheepskin fur, and without any image, cut his feet and dug his nose in public, and snored so loudly that no one wanted to ride with him. Such a down-to-earth Li Chungang is more attractive to Qiu Xinzhi than the handsome "sword god" when he was young. "The behavior reflects the state of mind of the character. You and I will both dig up in life, right? We all live in the framework and cage we set ourselves, and after breaking it, there is no pressure, and no matter what others think, we don't care. Qiu Xinzhi revealed that screenwriter Wang Ti added a lot of "human touch" to Li Chungang when adapting, making him more interesting and humorous. He himself added a little detail when performing, making Li Chungang more trivial and cute.
In the play, Li Chungang passed on his swordplay skills to Xu Fengnian, and he himself returned to the Land Sword Immortal Realm because of Xu Fengnian's "awakening". Qiu Xinzhi said that Zhang Ruoyun (as Xu Fengnian) is a rather maverick of the younger generation of actors. "He was particularly immersed in the drama and studied the script very deeply. Ask him any paragraph of the script, and he can tell you in detail about the situation of each character at that time, very carefully. Interestingly, he had played a couple with Zhang Ruoyun's wife Tang Yixin before, and also played a father and daughter. He played Tang Yixin's father in the movie "Xue Xian", "I was glued to a big beard, and as soon as she met, she said: 'Brother Xinzhi, we played a pair before, why are you old like this now?'" 'Give me a mess..." This cooperation Zhang Ruoyun, he feels quite lucky, often eat and chat together after filming, "can feel that he loves his wife very much, mention the other party has a light in his eyes." ”
Qiu Xinzhi and Tang Yixin once played a pair of lovers in the TV series "The Strange Marriage of the Three Marriages on the Wrong Flower Palanquin".
Performance
When he first entered the industry, he was often scolded, and he thought that learning to act was a master-apprentice system
Qiu Xinzhi did not come from an acting class, he studied radio and television in college, and his ambition at that time was to become a journalist. Because of his handsome appearance, he was often pulled by the seniors of the film and television major during college to help play the male lead in the graduation work. After graduating, he caught up with the TV station to recruit actors, he signed up to participate, and the result was the first place. "It was my first official job, I didn't expect to be admitted, and I was still asking myself: 'Do I have acting talent?' ”
The actor's road to entry was smooth, but the start was stumbling. "Acting is, after all, a science. I was scolded very badly for acting on the TV station, and the director directly scolded Mai every day: 'Stupid! Will you shoot? Won't just go home! The photographer made a disgusted 'tuck' sound as he took the shot, which made me feel a lot of pressure. Taiwanese directors are fierce and strict. Strictness is actually a good thing, which shows that I am not professional enough. "But in the general environment at that time, once scolded by the director, the rest of the crew would not have a good face." In those years, Qiu Xinzhi was very painful, but his personality was not to accept defeat, so he asked people everywhere on the set for advice.
In the TV series "Sunset Forbidden City", Qiu Xinzhi (left) plays the Guangxu Emperor. (Right is actor Huang Haibing)
"Sunset Forbidden City" is his first play on the mainland, and he thinks that it is only after this play that he has achieved real growth in performance. "The co-working Schenkova teachers and so on are all very good actors. When there is no drama, I stand behind the director and watch them act, see how they can clearly distinguish the rhythm, how to carry forward the past, and how to play their roles vividly. I went crazy and ran to ask them questions. He especially missed the atmosphere of filming at that time, when the actors sat together every day as soon as they arrived at the scene, and everyone regarded it as a particularly important task to complete. From time to time, the director will point out: "Mind, your words are a little tighter!" This sentence is not quite right, to be like this..."
Pan Hong, Sichengova and many other actor predecessors have had a great influence on him. "Speaking of which, I really studied acting like a master-apprentice system. These seniors kept telling me some ways to perform, and I tried to find a way to learn it, add some of my own things, and then slowly grind it out a little bit. "Qiu Xinzhi also feels that actors from different regions have their own unique performance methods, such as Wu Mengda is another one." I'm not from a science class, I can't tell a theoretical thing, I just blend what I've learned. The performance I understand now is that the actor resonates with the audience in the least contrived way. ”
Actor
Every play is like dismantling a blind box, and there are always surprises
Among the film and television roles created by Qiu Xinzhi in the past, Shen Yan, the disabled and complex young master of the Shen family in the TV series "Wutong Rain", has made many viewers remember. Liu Dekai, who plays Shen Yan's father in the play, is also the producer of the play. According to Qiu Xinzhi, "In the past, Kai Ge (Liu Dekai) played the role of Shen Yan in Taiwan, and he took this play to Shanghai to cooperate with others and asked me to play Shen Yan. The two have filmed in the mainland over the years, and occasionally cooperated, such as "Crane and Hua Ting" Liu Dekai played the uncle of the male protagonist Xiao Dingquan and the great general Gu Silin, and Qiu Xinzhi played the father of the heroine Lu Wenxi, Yushi Luying. They have a good personal relationship and often call each other for something.
In the TV series "Wutong Rain", Qiu Xinzhi and Pan Hong played a mother and son.
Another important role in "Wutong Rain" is Shen's mother played by Pan Hong, who has a strong desire to control the family and her son, and the mother-child relationship is also a major highlight of the play. Qiu Xinzhi and Pan Hong have played mother and son several times, and in reality, his mother and Pan Hong also look very similar, so he privately respects Pan Hong as a mother. But the first time he acted together, he was nervous. "Teacher Pan Hong's aura is too strong, and the momentum and severe feeling of a Shanghai woman are different from my mother'." I was a little scared when I first saw her, but when I got acquainted, I knew she was that style. A very neat person, talking and doing things one is one, two is two. ”
In the "Sunset Forbidden City" filmed in the Forbidden City, Qiu Xinzhi and Sichengova also played a pair of "mother and son" - the Guangxu Emperor and the Empress Dowager Cixi. Qiu Xinzhi's impression is that Sichenkova's style is completely different from Pan Hong's, and she is more like a neighbor elder who cares about you. "Teacher Gao Wa is very gentle, privately invites us to eat shabu lamb, and likes to talk to us about family food. She would talk to me about my family, my daughter-in-law, and how my daughter-in-law was. Like Teacher Pan Hong, she is not very good at talking to everyone about personal things, she is not very good at asking these, you don't ask her, she has her own boundaries. ”
In the early years, Qiu Xinzhi's film and television images such as The Confucian Young Master and the Affectionate Emperor impressed the audience. In recent years, he has played the role of elders with different personalities, and he is also at ease, such as Li Chungang in "The Sword Line in the Snow" and Lu Ying in "Crane and Huating". Qiu Xinzhi said that when he was young, he did not think too much about taking the role, as long as someone came to find him, he quickly went to act, and the opportunity was more important. Now that I am getting older, I am not afraid to try a completely different genre than before, as long as the script is good, you can try it. "The profession of an actor seems to be unpacking the blind box every day, and who knows what surprise roles will be waiting for me in the next ten years." You see, isn't Li Chungang also very funny, I'm looking forward to what roles there will be in the future..."
Life
After work, he only loves to play ball, not the traditional "strict father"
Qiu Xinzhi put the focus of his acting career on the mainland very early, "I came to Shanghai in 1996, stayed in Shanghai for 15 years, and moved to Beijing 10 years ago. His Taiwan Television Golden Bell Award for Best Actor's "Forrest Gump" (2000) was also filmed in Shanghai. At that time, he practiced hard in the mirror for a month and a half, completely turning himself into a "Forrest Gump" with slow language and movements, and then went to Shanghai to audition. On the first day of filming, he was integrated with the street life of Shanghai Jing. "At the intersection, I crossed the road in forrest Gump' state, and some Shanghai citizens wanted to help me; I accidentally brought down a bicycle, causing a whole row of bicycles to fall like dominoes, and the owner of the car came to scold me; and a taxi almost touched me... A particularly interesting acting experience that was a great honing for me. ”
Qiu Xinzhi won the Taiwan Television Golden Bell Award for his TV series "Forrest Gump" with Liu Xuehua.
Whether he lives in Shanghai or Beijing, Qiu Xinzhi has almost no social interactions after filming. "I don't go dancing, clubbing or anything, my usual leisure and entertainment is playing basketball, baseball, and softball." He found a baseball and softball club near Beijing's Chaoyang Park and often trained with his peers. He is also a member of the Green Vines Star Basketball Team, playing small forward positions on the court. Some time ago, "Green Vine" and other teams fought, the opponent player jumped up when the knee to his ribs, he was interviewed by reporters when the rib pain has not disappeared. "I'm the kind of person who takes painkillers and has to go to play, and I can't sit still at home." He also revealed that the actors filming in Hengdian have a large group of basketball enthusiasts on WeChat, and as soon as he arrives in Hengdian, he plays in the group of Rio people.
Before the epidemic, Qiu Xinzhi tried to be with his family when he was not working, and he often took his two sons out to play sports, ride bicycles and play baseball. He considers himself not a "strict father" in the traditional sense, happy to bring children, and likes to maintain a close relationship with children. When a child makes a mistake, he never scolds, and likes to use guidance to make him realize the mistake. "Scolding all the time will swear his confidence away." If you try to use the guided way, it is actually quite fun. Children need different guidance at each age stage, and it's really like constantly 'fighting' with him to escalate. "But because of the epidemic, he hasn't seen his children living in Taipei for more than two years." I'd love to go back, but I can't. Fortunately, there are videos now, and I can chat with them. ”

At that time, Qiu Xinzhi was a popular student and had a large number of fans. But he didn't feel that he was not born at the right time, nor did he envy the current traffic stars. "I wouldn't think about it so much, the mood has always been peaceful. In our time, actors weren't very well packaged, work and personal life could be separated, and I enjoyed my personal life. Many Western stars, daily life is also very simple, and do not regard the work of actors or 'jianghu status' as heavy. How tiring it is for a person to always take himself seriously. I like to face my life and work plainly. Acting is a job for me, and being able to support my family happily is the most important thing. ”
