Since the broadcast of the new "Dragon Slayer in the Sky", there have been praises and controversies, but the popularity has remained high. The performance of a group of young actors, the subversive innovation of the original and the previous version, are the only way to remake the classic.
Until Yin Liuxia and Yang's unrepentant feelings were online, it also set off a small climax for this drama again. After starring in the new version of "The Legend of the Archery Hero", Gong Zhengnan, who starred in the new version of Jin Yong's classic again, also received attention from the audience again.
Among the heavenly heroes, Yin Liting is by no means a perfect hero who is admired by thousands of people. But when it comes to the most "contrasting charm" role, he can definitely occupy a position.
Yin Liting was polite and elegant, and when the six major factions besieged the Top of the Light, he treated people with several thorough manners and handled things calmly and solemnly. At the same time, jealousy and hatred are like hatred, love and hatred are clear, and when fighting with adulterers, the sword is light and does not hesitate.
According to martial arts and responsibility, he is undoubtedly a generation of brave and fierce swordsmen, but in the world of emotions, he is an uncompromising "temperamental person", obsessive, sensual, and even some childlike innocence.
One inside and one outside, but two extremes, such a character with a sharp contrast, enough to make the audience profound, but for the actor, the difficulty is self-evident. However, even in the case of Zhu Yu in front, Gong Zhengnan also accurately grasped this rigid and soft trait, shaping Yin Liuxia to still be vivid and delicate, with flesh and blood.
As the first of the Seven Heroes of Wudang in swordplay, his skills show the style of fame and integrity.
When he saw the five brothers and five sisters-in-law return, a small action that ignored the eyes of outsiders revealed the character's ignorance and simple childishness.
The most important thing, and the most heart-wrenching for the audience, is his "obsession" with Ji Xiaofu's responsibility and life, as well as the complex attachment to Yang unrepentant in the later stage.
In Jin Yong's original work, "love to cry" is a very eye-catching feature of Yin Liting, and in the play, Gong Zhengnan also contributed several heart-wrenching crying scenes.
At that scene, he regarded Yang's unrepentant mistake as Xiao Fu's affectionate confession, and between his words was full of regret and reluctance to lose his beloved, and at the same time, he was almost desperate because of his physical disability, and he was helpless.
Gong Zhengnan also said bluntly that this is also one of the scenes that made him most "emotional" during filming, and even "felt that he was completely Yin Liting himself." ”
At first, I wanted to suppress the performance, but I couldn't control my tears more and more, and I felt that I also loved this woman deeply for Xiao fu's thoughts and beliefs. When I was acting, I didn't feel it, when I was informed that I could finish filming, I felt tired for the first time, I cried tired for the first time because I put in a full of emotions, and when I saw that scene when I was broadcast, I still had tears swirling a few times.
When he first got the role, in addition to the vivid characteristics of this character who was rigid and soft, the growth arc presented on Yin Liting's body made Gong Zhengnan take over this role without hesitation, and made sufficient efforts for this.
He meticulously does a good job for the characters at different stages of the small biography, the early stage of ignorance and simplicity, reckless and cute, the middle of the obsessive persistence, and the later when meeting Yang unrepentant from painful escape to calmly take responsibility of the transformation, each period he has clarified a different shaping focus, and strive to portray the characters more clearly from the action and details.
In the limited story space, the contrast and growth of the characters are fully presented, and Gong Zhengnan's ability to shape the characters can be seen.
Nowadays, the new "Leaning Heaven" continues to be popular, and the strength of director Jiang Jiajun has once again been recognized by all audiences, and actors who hope to cooperate with Director Jiang are also everywhere. However, audiences familiar with Gong Zhengnan know that this time the new "Yi Tian" is already his sixth cooperation with Director Jiang.
Gong Zhengnan and Director Jiang's first "bond" was in the preparation period of "Partial Love with You" adapted from the famous Korean drama "Love Hotel" in 2010. At that time, he did not know that this play was directed by Director Jiang, nor did he know that the role of Lu Xiaofan, who was auditioned by himself, was competing for a number of popular young students.
When he auditioned, Director Jiang personally rushed back to the crew, and after watching his performance, he did not say anything more. Just when Gong Zhengnan thought that he had missed this role, he received a call from the assistant director to directly sign the contract. This became Gong Zhengnan's first cooperation with Director Jiang, and it was also his first star drama to land on Hunan Satellite TV.
Then to the clever Ban Jie of the later "Best Ex-Boyfriend", the Situ in "Dream Partner", and the jianghu righteous soldier in the new version of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" broadcast in the previous two years, lu Guanying, the head of the Taihu Lake bandits.
Gong Zhengnan sincerely told the editor, "Now I am also a member of the Jiang family class, under the leadership of Jiang Dao, with this big family from strange to familiar, feeling and learning is more rigorous work, humble and treating people, meticulous work, professional treatment, these are also one of the important factors that affect my growth, now we are masters and apprentices, but also fathers and sons, friends, relatives." ”
In the early stage of entering the industry, many of the roles played by Gong Zhengnan mostly fit their own image characteristics, sunny and handsome, and their hands and feet were full of the temperament of a dashing young master. So much so that many media have evaluated him as a "rich second-generation professional household".
But as he continues to practice in one work after another, Gong Zhengnan's plasticity and excellent acting skills have also exposed him to more and more role types. Especially after he starred in the role of bamboo dye in "Flowers and Bones", his rivalry with Zhao Liying left a deep impression on the audience, and officially opened his "milestone of costume drama".
After this, the tilting blade in "Magic City", Yu Hao in "The Legend of Hao Lan", and the classic characters in the two Jin Yong works all have their own characteristics and accurate grasp in terms of age span and character personality.
Whether it is a modern drama or a costume drama, in Gong Zhengnan's view, people have seven emotions and six desires, sorrow and joy, and it is important to grasp the heart and purpose of each character, and enlarge the display in order to resonate with the audience.
In the face of the role, Gong Zhengnan is always good at observing details and paying attention to inner fluctuations. Therefore, when it comes to the type of role that attracts himself, Gong Zhengnan feels that there are not many words, but the heart is rich, and the greater the contrast between the front and back, the more he has the desire to challenge. "For example, clowns, mutes, or positive and superficial indifference in the heart, so that there is more dramatic tension, and I am especially looking forward to how the breakthrough limit brought about by this contrast will explode."
The serious attitude of doing things determines your success or failure, which has always been the benchmark for Gong Zhengnan's acting work and handling people.
Nowadays, with more and more invitations to works, Gong Zhengnan has never slackened on himself. Two movies a day, reading and studying regularly, hoping I can learn more.
Soon after, Gong Zhengnan had many works about to meet with the audience. In the costume drama "His Highness the Wolf", directed and produced by Chen Yushan, he played Li Jiqian, the king of the Later Tang Dynasty; in addition, in the "Alien Girl Chai Xiaoqi" cooperated by Director Deng Ke, there was an unscrupulous Frankenstein.
Three completely different works, three characters with different personalities and identities, I believe that Gong Zhengnan will definitely bring us more surprises.
