"The first scene made me feel like a needle felt, like a man on my back." At the moment when the costume historical drama "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming" is being broadcast, actor Chen Yipi plays the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunjiao, the most legendary emperor in history. In an interview, he mentioned the feeling of playing the emperor for the first time, and he laughed at himself so much.
The first shot that Chen Yipi faces is the big scene. At that time, Zhu Yunjiao ascended the throne of the emperor's eldest grandson, needed to accept the manchu Dynasty Wenwu prostration, Chen Yipi, who had never played an emperor, had seen such a big battle, and among the hundreds of performers on the stage, nearly half of them were his predecessors, Chen Yipi suddenly only felt stiff in his body and worried in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be calm, and he still needed to infiltrate a trace of pride in his composure.
This is also the first "soul fusion" between Chen Yipi and Zhu Yunjiao, he tasted the "sweetness" in this seemingly gentle and weak emperor who was actually obscure and obscure, so that Chen Yipi, who stepped off the throne after killing Qingqing, was stunned for a long time, "Suddenly there is no feeling of being on top, and I am really a little unaccustomed." ”
In fact, Chen Yipi is not an imperial atmosphere that cannot stand out from the stars and the moon, but cannot be withdrawn from Zhu Yunjiao's role so quickly, empathy ability is a deep connection between actors and characters, and Chen Yipi, who closed the script, only feels that his life has another unforgettable experience.
The powerlessness behind glory
Historically, there have been many controversies about Zhu Yunjiao by later generations, some people think that Zhu Yunjiao, who pays attention to ruling the world with benevolence, is a wise monarch, and some people think that Zhu Yunjiao is indecisive and lacks the sharpness to rule the world. When talking about Zhu Yunjiao's character color, Chen Yipi did not give too much judgment, perhaps he has already presented everything he wants to say under the lens.
When Zhu Yunjiao became the emperor's eldest grandson, it was equivalent to being in danger of being ordered, and Zhu Yuanzhang needed to use Zhu Yunjiao to contain all the forces to stabilize the government, and even more needed a recognizable imperial grandson. Zhu Yunjiao inherited the benevolent and generous character of his father Zhu Biao, and often advised Zhu Yuanzhang to pardon the minor sins of his subordinates, but Zhu Yunjiao also knew that he was not as loved by Zhu Yuanzhang as his father, so he was a little underwhelmed in words and deeds.
When facing several uncles, Zhu Yunjiao's posture was still humble, on the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang's teachings, on the other hand, before he inherited the unification, Zhu Yunjiao did not dare to show too much sharpness. When Zhu Yunjiao knelt down to pray to the fourth uncle Zhu Dixing to pray for peace, the audience captured the terrible point under Zhu Yunjiao's "smiling tiger", which also caused some doubts.
Chen Yipi was not annoyed after learning about it, because this is exactly the result he wanted, "The person born in the imperial family has absolute innocence and purity, the growth environment has created his more complex personality, he must be patient to become a big thing, but there is no need to completely compromise, the audience knows his thoughts, the uncle in the play of course knows, but the more he does things perfectly, the more everyone can't do anything about him." ”
Chen Yipi grasps Zhu Yunjiao's mentality in the play just right, and also knows how to evoke the audience's sneaky psychology from the perspective of God. A fleeting eye change makes the audience clearly realize that Zhu Yunjiao is not a good kind.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Yunzhang took power as he wished, he was worried that the kings supported the army and respected themselves, and immediately implemented the policy of cutting the domain, originally he should first eliminate the most powerful Zhu Di, but under the suggestion of Huang Zicheng, he decided to first disintegrate Zhu Di's peripheral forces, at this time Zhu Yunjiao no longer needed to hide his ambitions, so there was more fierceness in his eyes.
Although he had a far-sighted plan, Zhu Yunzhao was essentially a kind and gentle person, and after inadvertently forcing the death of the twelve uncles who grew up together, he was angry, remorseful and heartbroken, but he needed to rely on the assistance of Huang Zicheng and others, and even the anger had to be hidden in half, so Chen Yipi paused slightly in the middle when he said the line "Uncle Yuan's uncle is dead", and lowered his tone.
The courtiers proposed to punish Uncle Twelve, and Zhu Yunjiao was reluctant in his heart, but he lacked the ability to think independently, and his eyes gradually changed from anger and softening to mourning to despair.
In the end, I could only turn my back and weep in my eyes. "Emperors are always lonely, and their seven passions and six desires are not worth mentioning in front of Jiangshan Sheji. Therefore, Zhu Yunjiao's inner world touched me very much, and it also made me understand this character more comprehensively. Chen Yipi sighed.
For Chen Yipi, it is a pleasure to play the role of Zhu Yunjiao, he loves acting, and he loves every soul he touches, he said, those are also his life.
Perceive life with characters
Speaking of which, Chen Yipi is a non-science actor who has changed careers halfway, and he is a typical straight man who graduated from science and engineering. The decision to become an actor was a complete accident for Chen Yipi, but he was grateful for this accident.
At that time, Chen Yipi had just finished his studies and returned to China, and he began to be interested in acting, so he ran to the "Wise Man Invincible" crew as a performance assistant, mistakenly hit and ran a small dragon set, in his words, "This run, my enthusiasm for acting can be out of control." ”
If you want to ask the most fatal attraction of acting to Chen Yipi, he used the five interesting words of "life experience card" to describe, "In fact, my original personality is not a person who loves to show his heart too much, which may also be related to the living environment since childhood, but it is not that I do not express the desire." Chen Yipi ridiculed his ability to receive and release feelings, so acting became the exit of Chen Yipi's inner tsunami, "Whenever I enter the role, I can release my joys and sorrows, I am very satisfied." ”
Rich emotional expression is on the one hand, and what is more important for Chen Yipi is the accumulation of the thickness of life. If he compares life to a long river, what he hopes to dig more is the treasure under the river.
That's why he loves to find valuable life lessons from different roles. Since his career, he has interpreted the roles of all walks of life, such as a righteous officer in "The Righteous Invincible", a young man in literature and art in "The Golden Age", a naughty and cute dog in "Old Farmer", a small god doctor who runs for life in "Old Chinese Medicine", a brave and great little soldier in "Glory and Dreams", etc. Chen Yipi said, "The biggest professional charm of an actor is that I can experience the life of 'three religions and nine streams' in all walks of life countless times in my limited life, and their life perception is good, sad and happy, or happy. For me, it is a life experience that can be borrowed and spurred on to grow, and I love each of my characters. ”

Armageddon
Any road to pursuing dreams is hard, Chen Yipi knows this well, but he never uses the stones encountered on the road as an obstacle to crossing the river, and the voices of the outside world, whether good or bad, are all inspirations for him and an accelerator for his growth.
Every boy has a heroic dream in his heart, and when he was young, he liked the theme of military service the most, and he also liked the period drama of the hero of the times, so he plunged into the world he loved. Looking back, the handsome-looking Chen Yipi did miss a lot of opportunities to break into the young people's market at that time, but he did not regret it at all, life always has dreams to be round, but there are more ways to break through, "There are always different choices in different periods of life, I think I did not act in any idol drama when I was young, and there was no regret, my original intention is to take every role seriously, as long as it is a precious opportunity, I will not let them slip away from the fingers." ”
Love can withstand the long years, adhere to the original intention, to be consistent.
Life outside the play is also wonderful
Don't look at Chen Yipi's calm and calm like an old man, talking about life outside the play, he uses "play crazy" to express his happiness, into the play, he lives for the role; out of the play, he lives for himself.
Chen Yipi is a person who pursues freedom, he loves skiing, loves to ride motorcycles, and loves diving, whenever he touches these things, he is as excited as clockwork, under the premise of physical permission, to explore the limits of happiness, "You may not believe it when you say it, I still love to read, is it a contrast?" Chen Yipi laughed.
Like acting, Chen Yipi outside the play is also happy to experience the most wonderful life in a limited life.
When the moonlight sprinkles on the long river, it sparkles and flashes with infinite vitality.
