After watching Niu Junfeng's performance, director Chen Kaige once gave a very high evaluation, saying that he was a promising actor.
Not long ago, Niu Junfeng and Lan Yingying starred in the "Mother-in-law's Bracelet" broadcast, on September 8, Niu Junfeng partner Li Randi's TV series "Who Give Me And Who" began broadcasting on Jiangsu Satellite TV, the ratings broke one on the day of broadcasting, which was a good start. At the same time, two dramas were broadcast on satellite TV, and Niu Junfeng, who had acted for nearly 20 years, waited for the spring that belonged to good actors.
Niu Junfeng and Li Randi came to Rong roadshow
Today (10), Niu Junfeng and all the creators of "Who Give Me Up" came to Chengdu for a roadshow. Talking about the simultaneous broadcast of the two dramas, Niu Junfeng laughed and said that he was not afraid of the audience jumping, "The Bracelet of the Mother-in-Law" is a work of realistic themes, and the characters are more lifelike; the Shengjingchu in "Who Gives Me To Me" is the god of the Go world and an ideal character.
In 2019, Niu Junfeng once posted, "The age of the play is 17 years. I 'don't fire', but I enjoy every character. Please don't laugh at the iron tree, it has worked harder than other tree species to blossom once. In an interview with the Red Star News reporter, Niu Junfeng said that he did not mind the comments of red or not, as an actor, he should do a good job of himself, act well in his own play, and other things will go with the flow.
Follow Nie Weiping's disciples to learn chess
"Who Gives Me Up" is adapted from Gongzi Thirteen's popular novel "Who Gives Me "Chess"". Cheng Yi (Lee Randi) is a lively and cheerful newcomer to the workplace, working for a video website. Seeing that the half-year internship period was coming to an end, she had to face the embarrassing situation of not being able to turn positive. At this moment, Cheng was arranged to interview Sheng Jingchu, a prominent figure in the Go world, and Cheng, who knew nothing about Go, could only harden his scalp, and the wonderful fate between her and Sheng Jingchu also began. On the other hand, the talented chess player Sheng Jingchu (Niu Junfeng) seems to have unlimited scenery, but has the tragic experience of losing his parents. The physical and mental trauma of childhood has made the world at the beginning of the grand scene lose its color. Cheng's appearance allowed him to regain his perception of color.
Stills from "Who Give Me Up"
"Go is the traditional culture of our country, and I am actually quite interested in this kind of subject." Niu Junfeng recalled that there were many plots of Playing Go in the play, so he also studied with the apprentice of the famous Go master Nie Weiping, a Go guide specially invited by the crew, for more than 3 months, "The current technology is still OK, I really fell in love with Go, and I played it every day as soon as I had time." ”
In addition to learning the skills of Go, Niu Junfeng also consulted professional chess players such as Ke Jie, and learned about the state of chess players from film and television dramas and documentaries, even accurate to breath, facial expressions, eyes and so on. From the episodes broadcast, it can be seen that Sheng Jingchu always straightened his waist when playing against each other, and every time he took a step, he would push the glasses on the bridge of his nose. "I have discussed with many professional chess players in China, and I have also observed the posture of many chess players when they play chess, and most chess players straighten their waists when playing chess, which represents the temperament and aura of a chess player after all. If you are representing the country, you should pay more attention to the posture, because this represents the image of the country. As for pushing glasses, it is Niu Junfeng's action to externalize the character's inner design, Sheng Jingchu's chess style is very decisive, and his action of pushing glasses is actually to give the opponent a sense of oppression.
Chess players play into martial arts masters duel Playing chess is equivalent to going to the battlefield
After the launch of "Who Give Me Others" on Jiangsu Satellite TV, the ratings of the premiere broke one, and the start was quite good. Interestingly, the game of Go in the play has attracted a lot of attention. Whenever the players play against each other, the black and white duel switches to a virtual world, and the two players each hold a weapon for a force duel. Some voices believe that this is a kind of imagination and creativity, making the original boring Go competition intuitive. However, some voices believe that this is obviously a kind of painting snake.
Poster of "Who Give Me Up"
Niu Junfeng also saw this kind of doubt, he explained that many people do not understand why to insert a fight, in fact, as far as professional chess players are concerned, behind their surface chaos, the actual heart is very turbulent, each step will think a lot, why so down? What happens next? Niu Junfeng's Go teacher once said that every time you sit on the chessboard, it is equivalent to going to the battlefield, "I play this move, how do I attack, how do you defend?" So we inserted the plot of the fight, so that the audience can more intuitively understand the psychology of the chess player, otherwise everyone will see that the chess player is simply playing chess, and many inner things cannot be shown. ”
Director Liu Chang revealed in an interview with Red Star News that this is a sweet pet drama with the theme of Go, hoping to promote the traditional culture of Go and let more young people understand and even like Go, so try to be as relaxed and humorous as possible in shooting. Niu Junfeng said that after really contacting Go, he found the mystery and hoped to promote the culture and spirit of Go through this drama, "The main reason why I took this drama is because it is about traditional culture." As we all know, I grew up studying Peking Opera, so I was more interested in traditional things. ”
Filmed for many years of positive drama the first time to shoot sweet pet theme
"You know, this is my first time shooting a sweet pet drama, haha." Niu Junfeng said with a smile. Over the years, Niu Junfeng has starred in many positive dramas, starring in sweet pet dramas such as "Who Give Me To Me", which is a new attempt, "Actors, should try everything, the team also has such suggestions." In the past, it is true that the drama will be filmed a little more, this time try it to see which one you like. As far as the current feedback is concerned, everyone seems to like it. Niu Junfeng said that now that he is young, he can indeed try more different themes, and maybe in two or three years, his mood will change and he has different ideas about the subject matter.
Learning Peking Opera since childhood, he debuted with the comedy film "Family Has a Car" at the age of 10, and Niu Junfeng, who has acted in drama for nearly 20 years, is regarded as a senior "old actor" in the circle. He has starred in such hot dramas as "Battle Changsha", "A Slight Smile is Very Charming", and "The Biography of Chu Qiao", and his acting skills are also well-known in the circle, but Niu Junfeng often faces the question of "why not red".
Why not red? Niu Junfeng once admitted in an interview that he had also suffered from distress, but now he had already given up this obsession. "What is red?" This depends on how to define it. I actually don't mind whether it's red or not, I can only do myself. Red is not red, it may be caused by various reasons, you are in a hurry and there is nothing we can do, this should not be something we consider, let nature take its course, do what you should do, complete the tasks you should complete, be worthy of the audience, worthy of your profession, worthy of trusting your director and producer, I think it is enough. ”
In the interview, Niu Junfeng emphasized the most sentence is "It is my mission to act well." "Linked to his many years of experience in studying opera, it is not difficult to understand the source of this sense of mission. He told the Red Star News reporter that learning opera allowed him to learn a lot, first of all, he learned to respect the performance and respect the audience. "One minute on stage and ten years off stage, you have to be worthy of the audience on stage." Before we learn drama, the teacher will also say a word, before learning art, learning etiquette, that is, we must be a down-to-earth person. ”
In Niu Junfeng's heart, there is also a dream, hoping to make a film and television drama about opera. "Opera is an art that I admire, even awe, and if it doesn't meet a relatively professional standard, I won't touch it, I can't do it, I want to keep it respectful, I can't just do it at will." 」
