After five years, people who have watched "Paramount Tonight" will still remember the Qingdao aunt with green scarves, bubble noodle heads and gold-rimmed glasses, "she" is the most eye-catching laugh point in the show, and also became the biggest comedy dark horse of the year.
After five years, "Qingdao Aunt" Zhang Haiyu starred in the "Ichiya family" broadcast, this only 16 episodes of sitcom, let me find the joy of watching "Wulin Waichuan", the most attractive to me in the play is still Zhang Haiyu, his performance made me laugh out of tears several times, through the audience's bullet screen will find that this drama let Zhang Haiyu be labeled as "national brother-in-law".
Sitcoms seem easy, but acting is much harder than other types of TV series.
On the one hand, the plot of sitcoms is difficult to have a sense of substitution, and the audience is completely dependent on the actors' lines and performances. In my opinion, "Ichiki Family" is very typical, there is no timeline, no character growth, a small story per episode, in a fixed scene and character relationship, the actor brings laughter to the audience through various bridges.
Sitcom performances, on the other hand, are more demanding on actors. Actors must not only shape the role, but also loose enough, have the meaning of improvisation, if repeated NG, it is likely to be more and more can not find the feeling, which is a double test of the actor's performance skills and line skills. Moreover, the actor must be accurate in the scale of the performance, know to what extent the performance will just poke the audience's laughter, and will not make people feel embarrassed, which requires the accumulation of performance experience.
That said back to Zhang Haiyu in "A House Family", he successfully labeled himself as "National Brother-in-Law", first of all, thanks to the fact that he made the role of Fan Chengyuan too real and too imaged. The exaggeration of sitcom performances and lines must be based on the role can make people believe, Zhang Haiyu has a deep understanding of Fan Chengyuan, he is an unemployed "cook" at home, weak personality is inevitably afraid of a strong wife, in the face of brother-in-law and at home eating and drinking the sea is sharp teeth, lips and swords.
There is not much time to deepen the role, but Zhang Haiyu has set up the image of his brother-in-law through daily breakfast and busyness at home, and on this basis, he has contributed one laugh point after another, and exchanged his measured, natural and accurate performance for the audience's heartfelt joy.
For example, the first episode originally plucked up the courage to fight the upstairs neighbor Peng Weiwei, and the result was seamlessly switched to live streaming with goods, and the emotional transformation did not violate the sense of harmony. When I look back at this scene, I will find that it is not the lines that support the humor, but the changes in body language and expressions, which is really too powerful.
There are also countless rival scenes with his wife Ma Tao, afraid that the wife is easier said than done, this setting repeats the "consumption" again and again in the fixed scene, and every time there is a different presentation so that the audience will not be bored, from soft mouth to lying on the ground, from the heart of the breakfast table to the embarrassment of being hit by the daughter-in-law after lying, Zhang Haiyu captures the small details in each different emotion, on the basis of fear of the wife, so that each performance brings novelty and spawns new laughs. He made Fan Chengyuan in the sitcom have pyrotechnics and became more grounded, and his life-like performances resonated with the audience, so he was labeled as "national brother-in-law".
The performance in the prescribed situation has similarities with the "Qingdao Aunt" of that year, but like the "Qingdao Aunt" brings new ideas in the face of different stars, Zhang Haiyu in "A House Family" also finds new performance inspiration through the opponent play with different actors. For example, the leaders of the neighborhood committee let Fan Chengyuan usher in the "highlight moment" of his life, and the image and temperament after putting on the formal dress met the audience's expectations for the persona;
The opponent scene with Sha Yi is also very exciting, sometimes flattering and sometimes pretentious, Zhang Haiyu measures his acting skills through the free switching of different emotions.
There's also singing, dancing, rapping... The non-vulgar performance made Zhang Haiyu widely recognized by the audience, and the bullet screen was full of praise for Zhang Haiyu, and even some viewers said that "Zhang Haiyu is a walking sketch".
But recalled, Zhang Haiyu starred in very few sketches, only remember this year's Oriental Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala and Spicy Yoko cooperation once. The definition of "walking sketch" given by the audience should be because whether it is "Qingdao Aunt" or "One House Family", Zhang Haiyu presents a strong comedic cohesion, in a limited bridge and time, with a variety of performance methods to output a large number of laughs, although the art form is different, but the "laughing fruit" is the same. Then again, Zhang Haiyu has his own laughter, comedy performance is natural, coupled with solid line skills and drama experience, really should try a sketch, if you can board the Spring Festival Gala, partner any actor will definitely bring surprises to the audience.
I have always felt that it is not a bad thing that actors are labeled, indicating that the role played is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, which is the recognition of the audience. But tearing off labels is hard, which means getting actors out of their comfort zones and challenging new genres and new roles.
Zhang Haiyu has the capital that has always stayed in the comfort zone, he has comedic talent, looking at several head comedians in the current film and television circle, Zhang Haiyu will also have high achievements in the field of comedy.
But it is clear that Zhang Haiyu does not want to stop here, he thanked the role of "Qingdao Aunt" in "Actors Please Take Place", but at the same time hoped to have a breakthrough and more different styles of drama to find him, which chose to "Actors Please Take Place" to "take risks", he proved this attitude with "Passerby A" and "Disciple" in the show.
"Passerby A" made Guo Jingming cry, and also made me cry. After the line "You spit it out, or Bon Bai took it", Zhang Haiyu completely withdrew his own sense of joy, interpreting the group performances that are difficult to survive, do not get a chance, have dreams but ultimately compromise with reality, quickly bring the audience into the situation and trigger empathy, and the natural, relaxed, and true feelings of the two people also conquered the mentors and actors on the scene.
"Disciple" integrates several reversals of multiple scenes and character relationships in the movie into a work, and Kun Ge, played by Zhang Haiyu, changed the usual "harmless human and animal" eyes, adding a breath of jianghu atmosphere and fierceness, and the scene of arguing with Wang Zhen is full of tension, giving the character credibility.
Even Li Chengru, who has always been a poisonous tongue, gave a four-word evaluation of "good acting", and this actor is too malleable.
What surprised me was that looking at Zhang Haiyu's resume, I found that although he was from the Chinese opera class, his profession was performance production, and his dedication and enthusiasm for performance, as well as his active exploration of various roles, made him a veritable treasure actor.
Praise him as a treasure actor, because Zhang Haiyu got rid of the shackles of the early "Qingdao Aunt" solidified image, in "It's Good to Meet You" shy and ignorant love, in "Chen Xi Yuan" through the Circle of Fame fans, in "Actors Please Take Place" with superb performance to become a dark horse, and then in "A House Family" was once again labeled as "National Brother-in-law", Zhang Haiyu is like an unknown treasure, every performance brings me surprises, and I can never guess what kind of performance he will use to shape the role next time. In the upcoming broadcast of "Female Psychologist", Zhang Haiyu once again challenged Mo Yu with mental illness, let us look forward to his wonderful performance!
