Concrete and vivid little people
"A House Family" is a sitcom depicting modern family life, telling the trivial daily life of the grandfather and grandson of the old Ma family, and the crowd staged the sour, sweet and bitter life in the chicken flying dog jumping, laughing and playing.
Fan Chengyuan, played by Zhang Haiyu in the play, is a modern version of the "son-in-law", with a good temper, afraid of his wife, let his relatives take care of him, and take good care of his family with one hand, which is a typical small person image. "The interesting thing about this character is that he is highly educated, but he is also a family cook at home, which is a very attractive counter-handicap." Fan Chengyuan has many shadows of modern young people, such as because of procrastination, the doctoral dissertation has not been completed for 7 years, "I believe that many friends who have experienced it understand that feeling." ”
In the play, Fan Chengyuan is cute and cute in front of his wife, and the occasional "Qingpu" and Qingdao dialect that cannot be hidden are very funny, and Zhang Haiyu has his own considerations for the design of the lines. "Because I wanted to make this kind of small character very specific, so I chose to use dialect, Fan Chengyuan himself is a highly educated talent, he wants to avoid speaking dialect, but still can't avoid wearing a Qingdao accent, which is also one of the comedic points of the character." Zhang Haiyu said that he hopes to play any role accurately and fullly, so that the role becomes a living person, "playing the role as a person that the audience can see and feel in life, in order to enter everyone's heart." ”
In recent years, sitcoms have become a "rare" genre, and the appearance of "Ichiki Family" has made the audience shine. It is difficult to act in comedy, and sitcoms are even more difficult to grasp, and if you are not careful, you will act exaggerated and embarrassing, but for Zhang Haiyu, who is experienced in stage performance, "Ichiki Family" is still handy. There is a plot in the play, the little handsome brother Tie Gang came to the door for the interview to consult, Fan Chengyuan confidently and self-righteously guided, only to learn that the other party admired his wife Ma Tao, Fan Chengyuan mistakenly thought that the marriage was lit up with a red light, and instantly became depressed. In just a few minutes of the plot, Zhang Haiyu's performance is rich in layers and interesting. "In fact, sitcoms are the closest to stage plays, especially dramas, a form of film and television expression, and I have been acting in dramas for a long time. Fan Chengyuan's role screenwriter gave a good foundation, so the whole shooting process was quite smooth. "The biggest difficulty is the huge amount of lines," the sense of rhythm is very strict, so I have been working on every small burden and detail after I got this role, hoping to present it more delicately. ”
On August 18, "A House Family" ended with 16 episodes, and Zhang Haiyu wrote on Weibo: "Fan Chengyuan's chai rice oil and salt and the story of the Old Ma family have come to an end, but the bitter, spicy, salty and sweet life will never end." Netizens have said that "like brother-in-law, looking forward to next season", "the second season please put on the agenda immediately" "send brother-in-law Zhang Haiyu to the Spring Festival Gala"... As for whether there will be a follow-up, Zhang Haiyu said: "I believe that if everyone really likes it and has a high voice, the second season may be arranged accordingly."
Humor follows feelings
Zhang Haiyu is a native of Qingdao, he has liked to perform since he was a child, and his earliest acting experience can be traced back to the literary and artistic performances organized by the kindergarten, and the Spring Festival Gala sketch is his performance enlightenment. In middle school, Zhang Haiyu signed up for acting courses with a strong interest and the idea of wanting to learn "film and television performance", and got some professional guidance, "At that time, I also liked the discipline of choreography and directing, loved to watch movies, and would also write film reviews." ”
In 2008, Zhang Haiyu, who studied at Qingdao No. 1 Middle School, applied for 9 related majors at the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama, and although he failed to be admitted to the coveted film and television performance major, he was eventually admitted to the performance and production major of the Central Academy of Drama. "At that time, I thought about contacting and seeing it first, and then giving myself some time to determine whether I was suitable for this industry." Unexpectedly, in the second semester of his junior year, Zhang Haiyu of the "non-science class" ushered in the first role in the real sense - a student sister invited him to participate in a large-scale musical performance, which required a 1.7-meter, not too tall actor to play a genie. "I got that role through layers of interviews, and I remember doing 106 shows and it was exciting. The feeling of being able to get a role through hard work is more impressive than getting paid. It was also at that time that Zhang Haiyu began his stage play career.
At the end of 2013, Zhang Haiyu shot a short video with the image of "Qingdao Aunt", curly hair, scarf, gold-rimmed glasses frame on the tip of the nose, a Qingdao dialect hit the world invincible hands, Qingdao Aunt domineering throughout the cute, combined with the college entrance examination score, European Cup, square dance and other hot topics, Qingdao Aunt quickly became popular. The popularity was purely accidental, and Zhang Haiyu at that time still hoped to perform more in stage plays.
In 2016, Zhang Haiyu became a regular team member of "Paramount Tonight", and the show required at least two scene sketches a week, which stimulated Zhang Haiyu's desire to create. Huang Xiaoming performed with him on the same stage as the first guest of the "Qingdao Auntie", continuing the excitement of this image; later, Zhang Haiyu created a comedy image on the stage "Xue Buhui", "Please ask what service do you need!" Cola Sprite coffee tea, dear folks drink something" and other golden sentences have become popular. "I created more than 20 clips in those three months, and I feel very lucky to be known through these two characters." Talking about the creative inspiration, Zhang Haiyu said with a smile: "From instinct, I can't say where it came from, follow the feeling."
For a long time, Zhang Haiyu would perform dozens of stage plays every year to maintain the state of performance: "I think drama is the basis of an actor, it can bring a strong self-confidence, and it can be stable when standing in front of the camera in the future." 」 For the two comedy images that were successfully created, Zhang Haiyu said that he did not want to amplify and emphasize: "I will be very happy to see that everyone recognizes those roles, but I also hope that everyone can know me personally, and as an actor, I also look forward to leaving more space for myself to create more different roles."
Actors who are not defined
After "Paramount Tonight", Zhang Haiyu slowly became active in film and television dramas, directed by Gu Changwei in "It's Good to Meet You", in which he played the humorous and funny Xie Lun; in the Xianxia drama "Chen Xi Yuan", the Si Ming he played was popular, seemingly a serious book, but almost contracted the laughter of the whole drama; this year's May Day, he starred in "Sunshine Robber".
In last year's "Actor Please Take Place 2", Zhang Haiyu surprised the audience through the interpretation of "I am a passerby A" and "Disciple", and the two roles and previous images were judged like two people, especially in the fragment of "I am a passerby A", the details of eating tomatoes were praised by Chen Kaige, and also let him counterattack from B level to S level, and the audience also said that they had found a treasure acting school.
For acting, Zhang Haiyu has an almost timid sincerity, "I don't dare to review and watch too much about each role, because there will always be full of regrets in my heart." When I watch the characters I have played, the feelings are completely different from the audience, and I will clearly perceive which places I can do better and which details I can handle more perfectly... So often watching my own plays I will have a lot of regrets. "When playing "Ichiya Family", Zhang Haiyu spent half of his time with a fever, and it was challenging to act in comedy in a bad physical condition, "but I think as an actor you should do your best for the role." ”
Zhang Haiyu's comedy is not explosive, and his natural and fresh humor style is endlessly evocative, and he can also control it with ease without comedy. "I don't mind being called a comedian, but if I define it myself, it's 'actor.'"
Zhang Haiyu said that it is difficult for him to completely separate comedy and drama as two separate categories to analyze, "I prefer that there is a humorous component in the main drama, and I can feel thinking in comedy." It must be said that comedy may be more difficult, because comedy seems to me to be a technical thing, and its success must have good opponents, good writers, tacit understanding between each other, a sense of rhythm and other aspects are very demanding. So comedy is either 100 points or 0 points, there is no middle ground, and people generally don't say 'acting ok', only 'funny' and 'not interesting'. But the main drama is different, it is possible to get a 'OK' evaluation. ”
People are familiar with Zhang Haiyu, most of them are through "Qingdao Auntie" and "Paramount Tonight", on the stage, his anti-string performance is exquisite and natural, there is no exaggeration and thick lines of traditional comedy, and the young, delicate and life-like performance style has created Zhang Haiyu's unique humor.
In the new drama "A House Family", Fan Chengyuan, played by Zhang Haiyu, is a "family cook" who married far away from home, who has not graduated after 7 years of doctoral studies, consciously assumed the role of taking care of the whole family, and became the "national brother-in-law" in the hearts of netizens. Recently, Qilu Evening News Qilu Yidian interviewed Zhang Haiyu, who is humble and kind outside of comedy, and has an almost timid sincerity in the face of performance: "I don't dare to review and watch too much about every role, because there will always be full of regrets in my heart."
