As an actor, is there really a difference between the face of the protagonist and the face of the supporting character?
For example, Gu Tianle, Sword Eyebrow Star, Humble Prince, he played, and he also played the unruly prodigal son.
Another example is Lu Yi, a real "protagonist face", who has played the male protagonist for more than 20 years.
And some actors seem to be the legendary "supporting face".
Their acting skills are solid, and many of their roles are deeply rooted in people's hearts.
But they always seem to be half a beat slower from the explosion of popularity, the characters are red, and their names are difficult for the audience to remember.
For example, Xin Baiqing.
At the beginning of 2022, whether it is from the aspects of ratings, popularity, word of mouth, etc., "The World of Man" is undoubtedly the first hot drama.
And a major reason why this drama is out of the circle, every actor has acted very well.
The character image is vivid and three-dimensional, so that the audience has a full sense of substitution.
Among them, Zhou Bingyi, played by Xin Baiqing, has dedicated his god-level acting skills.
Even, a lot of people say —
If it were not for Lei Jiayin's role of "Zhou Bingkun" more pleasing, Xin Baiqing would definitely be more popular than him.
The "Zhou Bingyi" in the play is a leading cadre who came out of a civilian family, who is fair and honest and single-minded for the people.
Xin Baiqing took over from his youth and performed until Zhou Bingyi was old.
At the beginning, in fact, the first thing that director Li Lu thought of was Yu Hewei.
Yu Hewei looks polite and polite, and plays a decent role that is rooted in Miao Hong, and has just exploded with "The Age of Awakening", or a northeasterner.
Undoubtedly, Yu Hewei is a very suitable candidate for "Zhou Bingyi".
However, after Yu Hewei became popular, the film contract has been piled up to three years later, and can only be abandoned.
Fortunately, now it seems that Xin Baiqing should be more suitable for "Zhou Bingyi" than Yu Hewei.
Yu Hewei is calm and upright, and his acting skills are good, but he has a tough guy atmosphere on his body.
On the other hand, Xin Baiqing, in addition to his integrity and composure, also has a feeling of gentleness and elegance, the feeling of Sven.
From the appearance of the character to the end, Zhou Bingyi, played by Xin Baiqing, is particularly stable.
The caution and restraint when staying at Hao Dongmei's house, the helplessness and sadness in the face of his father, and the enthusiasm for work...
All are vividly interpreted by Xin Baiqing.
The two quarrel scenes between Zhou Bingyi and his wife Hao Dongmei, Wei Wei was particularly impressed.
In these two quarrels, Hao Dongmei has been "releasing", while Xin Baiqing has been "collecting".
He did not shout, nor was he particularly emotional, and his lines were also well expressed.
When recalling the past and accusing himself of his grievances, his eyes are full of helplessness;
When he heard Hao Dongmei say the word "divorce", his eyes revealed surprise and confusion.
There's also a hint of anger, anger.
Finally, when he said to Hao Dongmei, "What do you do when I die?", his eyes were full of tenderness and foam.
Of course, there is also the scene of the demolition scene, the brightest moment in Zhou Bingyi's life.
The light character piece is about to be demolished, but the masses are full of resistance and dissatisfaction with the demolition.
Zhou Bingyi appeared, moved with affection and understanding.
In the face of Qiao Chunyan's questioning, he was not humble.
In the face of the masses' doubts, he patiently explained, which was reasonable and well-founded.
Up to 13 minutes of lines, Xin Baiqing's words are sonorous, directly hitting people's hearts, one shot to the end.
He didn't look like he was performing at all, but he became a servant of the people like a fake bag.
For the inner control of the character and the strong line skills, netizens have said that he should take the magnolia as the emperor.
It is no wonder that many people say that Xin Baiqing is Zhou Bingyi, and Zhou Bingyi is Xin Baiqing.
And this is where good actors are great.
They always have the ability to merge with the character.

Zhou Bingyi in the play is distressing, and Xin Baiqing outside the play also has many viewers who are upset about him.
Xin Baiqing actually debuted very early.
In 1993, he was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama and was in the same class as Liu Mintao, Li Naiwen and Wang Qianyuan.
In 1995, Xin Baiqing starred in the first TV series "Into the Sunshine".
However, until 2004, Xin Baiqing was tepid.
The roles played are too small and not recognized by the audience.
Until 2005, Xin Baiqing ushered in the second stage of the actor's development career.
That is, in the TV series "Happiness Like a Flower" starring Sun Li and Deng Chao, he played the second male protagonist Lin Bin.
The elegant and shy Lin Bin walked into the audience's field of vision.
The corners of his eyes and eyebrows are all drama Xin Baiqing, and he is also remembered by everyone.
Even, after watching this drama, many people bluntly said that Xin Baiqing acted the best and had the most layered sense.
But at that time, his focus was more on drama.
He has participated in dramas such as "Red Rose and White Rose" and "Four Generations Together".
Moreover, in 2012, he won the Golden Lion Award for Drama with the role of the traitor Guan Xiaohe in "Four Worlds Together".
This is the highest award for Chinese drama.
And all this stems from Xin Baiqing's serious attitude towards acting.
Whenever he received a role, the first thing Xin Baiqing did was to read through the script.
Not only after reading, but also to read thoroughly, examine the positioning of the character, comb the relationship line of the character, and complete the character biography.
Even if it is only a small supporting role, Xin Baiqing has devoted himself to research and study.
In 2017, Chen Kaige invited him to star in Li Bai in "The Legend of the Demon Cat".
Xin Baiqing was very worried, although there were only a few minutes of drama, but Li Bai was after all a well-known "poetry immortal".
He asked Chen Kaige how to act, and Director Chen jokingly said:
"Don't prepare, just cultivate your grandeur."
Therefore, Xin Baiqing repeatedly studied Li Bai in half a year.
He not only read "Li Bai and Du Fu" recommended by the director, but also read a lot of biographies and popular literature about Li Bai, and read it repeatedly where he couldn't understand it.
After entering the crew to change his clothes, everyone found that he was somewhat similar to the portrait of Li Bai preserved in historical facts.
When he arrived at the shooting scene, Xin Baiqing closed his eyes, and at that moment, he suddenly had a feeling, as if he was Li Bai.
That subtle feeling, as if the material being read was like a seed planted, suddenly sprouted.
After only filming it once, Chen Kaige said happily:
"No need to shoot, it's him."
The original 20-day workload, Xin Baiqing only took 2 days to complete.
In the end, his performance, which lasted only 4 minutes, earned him a Golden Rooster Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
In 2020, Xin Baiqing played Yin Yiren in the TV series "Great Qin Fu".
In order to accurately grasp the characters, Xin Baiqing also flipped through the historical materials such as "Warring States Policy" and "Historical Records".
Finally, he vividly interpreted the valuable qualities of being open-minded, self-condescending, and tolerant and generous in his body.
In the 27 years since his debut, Xin Baiqing has acted in more than 30 plays, including 4 dramas.
On average, less than one film and television drama a year, and most of them are supporting roles.
Moreover, he never publicized, never deliberately flattered for the sake of red.
This gives him plenty of time to do his homework, study the characters, pick the characters, imagine and sublimate.
In the entertainment circle where dragons and snakes are mixed, there are many stories of unscrupulous means in order to get to the top, and there are also many actors who have become popular and cheat.
This also makes Xin Baiqing even more valuable.
To have the current achievements and life, Xin Baiqing is most grateful to a person.
That was his wife, Zhu Yuanyuan.
In the interview, Zhu Yuanyuan proudly said:
"Xin Baiqing can have today, I transformed it, and 80% of his success is my credit."
And Xin Baiqing also responded:
"I basically grew up on the tutelage of Yuanyuan, and she is her most loyal critic."
The two are classmates of Chinese opera and have been in love since their freshman year.
On May 26, 2006, Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yuanyuan ended their 13-year love run and completed their marriage in a low-key manner.
Xin Baiqing is a Beijinger and drinks from snacks.
Until the time of first marriage, Xin Baiqing's sense of responsibility was not very strong.
At that time, he liked to play games, and whenever he had time, he would drill into internet cafes, and sometimes even play a dozen all night.
Zhu Yuanyuan did not want him to go on like this, because it hurt his body too much and he did not plan his life well.
Therefore, she changed her way to let him quit internet addiction.
For example, if he could go home half an hour early, Zhu Yuanyuan clapped her hands happily and encouraged Xin Baiqing to slowly impress.
In 2008, they had a daughter of their own.
Xin Baiqing gave his daughter the nickname "Benben", he said:
"I hope she is a person who does her job, and then has a little bit of 'ability' to make a living!"
The wish is so ordinary, so simple, yet sincere.
After having a daughter, Xin Baiqing is more like a completely changed person and has become a special sense of responsibility.
He completely changed the habit of staying up late, quit playing games, worked with his wife, and accompanied his daughter to do parent-child games.
In order to take care of his wife, he also pushed down all the film contracts, including "Latent", which made the starring big hit.
Although he missed an opportunity to be popular, he gained more.
"Life always has gains and losses, and we have experienced the whole process of life from conception to birth, which is also a valuable experience for my artistic career."
So if I had to choose again, I would still choose to accompany my wife and daughter. ”
Up to now, the two have been working together for 29 years from school uniforms to wedding dresses to "1+1=3".
From the first love to the current old husband and wife, there has never been a problem of emotional estrangement between the two, let alone any scandal.
Xin Baiqing occasionally felt that Zhu Yuanyuan was unreasonable, but every time he would take the initiative to admit his mistake, in his words:
"I can't argue with her anyway, she can win if she wants, and winning or losing is more important than her."
Maybe that's the best thing about love, it's nothing more than "she's making trouble, he's laughing." ”
The most romantic thing he could think of was the occasional vacation and hanging out with his wife at the beach in a daze.
Life is down-to-earth.
Love in life is two people holding hands, down-to-earth, step by step.
As Xin Baiqing said to Zhu Yuanyuan at the wedding:
"When your hands and feet are cold, you can put them on my belly for warmth;
When you are hungry and thirsty, I will never let you eat cold rice;
I'll give you an arm bend that you can rest assured to rely on for a lifetime. ”
Marriage is not a legend, there is no need to pursue any ups and downs, and a plain life is the most important.
Today, most of Xin Baiqing's life is left to his wife and daughter.
He posted very little on Weibo, but except for the publicity of the play, most of it was about his family.
But Vivi thought that this was the most real life.
Lu Yao said in "Ordinary World":
"Everything in the world is extraordinary, and in the end it must return to the ordinary, and only by truly living an ordinary life is life complete."
Red or not, Xin Baiqing didn't care very much.
What he cares more about is being able to immerse himself in every role in the play and protect his family.
