Why did you choose Feng Shaofeng to play Shi Yuan?
Because Feng Shaofeng is a Shanghainese, his melancholy temperament is particularly similar to Shi Yuan in the play, so he was the first to think of Feng Shaofeng at that time. I called Feng Shaofeng, and he read the script and read it gladly. Unlike Zhan Xiang, this role I spent a little thought on, hoping that this actor and the audience think completely differently, giving people a feeling of eye-catching or surprise.
Teng Huatao, the director of "Heart Residence", once said about his casting in the interview program.
Feng Shaofeng: I have been friends with the director for many years, and what impressed me most about Shi Yuan was his efforts
So what was Zhang Songwen and Feng Shaofeng's first reaction when they got the script?
Zhang Songwen got the script, watched 5 episodes, and directly said to the director, Zhan Xiang I don't like, I don't want to play him, and then the director persuaded him to continue to read the script, he finally agreed to act Zhan Xiang.
What did Feng Shaofeng say when he got the script?
When I got the script, I was very sympathetic and understanding of shi yuan's role, he was very different from the role I had created in the past, and what impressed me the most was Shi Yuan's efforts.
He fell from the clouds of his youth to the bottom of the valley, but he still lived strongly and hard, his life was full of fireworks, and there were many shadows of ordinary people on his body. I decided to try to play the role.
In fact, we know that when Feng Shaofeng took over this scene, he was emotionally frustrated before and after he and Zhao Liying broke up last year, which may have made him understand the situation of Shi Yuan's character more deeply.
Indeed, as a special guest starring Feng Shaofeng, he may be the actor who is most suitable for the role in the play, Haiqing plays Feng Xiaoqin's acting skills very well, but in the play, Feng Xiaoqin is more than 30 years old, and Haiqing comes to play a little bit on the big side; Tong Yao plays Gu Qingyu, who seems to be a little younger.
Some viewers said that Shi Yuan, played by Feng Shaofeng, felt that there was no light in his eyes and was a bit old, but in fact, Feng Shaofeng deliberately created the vicissitudes of this character, that is, through this depression or some kind of decadent atmosphere, to show the impact of real life on the character.
Just like Li Tang, played by Guo Jingfei in the spy drama "Opponent", everyone thinks that he has become fat, but in fact, Guo Jingfei deliberately gained weight, which is to highlight the embarrassment of this middle-aged man's life: in order to survive, he has no time to take care of his body.
"Heart Residence" screenwriter: In the original book, I wrote that his ending was very willful, and the TV series let him return to reality
Teng Xiaolan, the original and screenwriter of "Heart Residence", she has deep sympathy and a little sadness for Shi Yuan when shaping.
Shi Yuan's parents, like the author's parents, are zhiqing, Shanghainese, and when she wrote about this character, she hoped that he would have a good home. However, the development of the plot, he and Gu Qingyu can not be together, because of the class difference and Shi Yuan's personality self-esteem and inferiority, decided that they had to break up.
In the novel, the author is willful: let the divorced Shi Yuan suddenly drop the pie in the sky, that is, the overseas uncle left a will before he died, leaving a mansion for his nephew who had never met, and in the ending of the original book, Shi Yuan flew to Canada and became a millionaire.
But after the TV series was adapted, Teng Xiaolan was no longer willful, and she let Shi Yuan return to reality.
We see in the play that he left Gu Qingyu and walked in the ordinary and simple streets, briskly holding Lily's hand, relaxed, talking and laughing, and there seemed to be a scent of sunshine between his eyebrows. Gu Qingyu has become his eternal back and memory.
This may be the best destination for Shi Yuan.
Feng Shaofeng: Working with Haiqing for the second time, he and Tong Yao often discuss the script
"Heart Residence" is the second collaboration between Feng Shaofeng and Haiqing, after in 2020, they collaborated together on the TV series "Together".
Because of the relationship between the plot, there are not many rival scenes between the two people in "Heart Residence", they are actually "outsiders" related to the Gu family, one is a daughter-in-law, and the other is a son-in-law. Both people are very familiar with the director, Haiqing can be said to be Teng Huatao's royal actor, starting from 2007's "Double Sided Tape", many works have cooperated with Teng Huatao.
Feng Shaofeng and Tong Yao have more scenes, the two people have quarrels, there are also shows of love, which is also the highlight of "Heart Residence", the two people discuss many details as soon as they are on the set.
For example, in this quarrel, Feng Shaofeng added a lot of body language to express his emotions:
Then, Gu Qingyu broke out this section, smashed feng Shaofeng with a pillow, and then scolded him bitterly, Feng Shaofeng curled up weakly, holding his head, reflecting a humble look, Gu Qingyu stood up, the camera stretched from close-up, one stop at a time, and the status and gap between the two people were also reflected:
This paragraph is very exciting, there are many scenes added by Tong Yao and Feng Shaofeng on the basis of the script!
Feng Shaofeng's latest post: I am very sad about Shi Yuan, he is very hard, but he has some bad luck
Feng Shaofeng is also the latest article, bidding farewell to the character of Shi Yuan, and everyone looks at the actor's understanding of the role he plays:
Summarizing a few points, Feng Shaofeng believes that Shi Yuan is worthy of Gu Qingyu in order to be worthy of gu Qingyu, he works very hard, works hard in various ways to live, love is very luxurious for him, he carefully maintains, but self-esteem has been torturing him, except for the final abandonment of love for Shi Yuan, he has never given up on life.
He was a hard worker, just a little bit of luck.
For Feng Shaofeng's post, netizens have liked and agreed:
"Heart Residence" is nearing the end, do you like Shi Yuan, played by Feng Shaofeng, or Zhan Xiang, played by Zhang Songwen?
