In the hottest IP in the first quarter of this year, "Acquaintance with Junchu" should occupy a seat, Xiao Shunyao played the shaogu lord Lin Haoqing in the play, which is a very complex role, the interpretation is extremely difficult, and Xiao Shunyao has a brilliant performance as soon as he appears. This time, we wanted to talk to Xiao Shunyao about drama and life, including his love of music.
"Transformation as an actor is the second stage of growth."
Relax, open yourself, and gradually complete a certain stage of growth in the performance
These two or three years have been of great significance to Xiao Shunyao, filming, making music, going to variety shows, and just having a concert not long ago, and most of his life was occupied by work. Although many people are like me, it is from "Chase the Light!" I know Xiao Shunyao on the stage of "Brother", and I think that this brother is still a bit thick in the cool handsome. People who like to chase dramas will often see him in film and television dramas, but on "Chase the Light!" Before "Brother", some people would not be able to call his name.
In the first episode of "Acquaintance with Junchu", Xiao Shunyao, as the lord of Shaogu, first appeared, and the cold "stiffness" was obvious, and there was still a touch of "softness" in his look, and the careful audience should be able to capture the special feelings presented by this character. At that moment, I remembered that Zhuge Liang once described a general in the "General Garden": "A good general, his rigidity is indissoluble, and his softness is unrollable." Therefore, I think Xiao Shunyao's interpretation of Lin Haoqing, the lord of the Shaogu Valley, is very in place.
At the age of 18, Xiao Shunyao was selected by Taihe Wheat Field Company to become a trainee, and officially debuted as a member of the MIC boy band 4 years later. MIC is the first generation of chinese domestic entertainment boy band, and at that time, the Chinese market's acceptance of boy bands is not as good as Japan and South Korea, not as hot as it is now, Xiao Shunyao after his debut in addition to publishing some musical works, is also filming, almost every year there are one or two dramas, step by step, not impatient, walking steadily.
As an actor, in the years of his filming, some roles are not male but not remarkable; as a singer-songwriter, he has released singles and albums, but he is known by many audiences as still in "Chase the Light!" Brother" on this variety stage. Asked if he felt aggrieved, he said, "I don't feel wronged, I think a lot of things are a process, a process of experiencing myself, it is with these years of precipitation, but also let my own current heart is relatively calm, will calmly accept success or failure, pros and cons." "Becoming a good actor should be the original intention of everyone who enters this industry, some people say, "a good actor should stay away from the dust and chores in life", in this regard, Xiao Shunyao has his own attitude: "Every actor has his own understanding and feelings about performance, 'away from all dust and chores' does not apply to all actors." For me, the trivial chores that are close to the world are not a bad thing, but will make me experience a variety of emotions that help me interpret different roles. He also humbly said that in terms of acting, he is not a particularly mature actor, and he also needs to experience more of these diverse emotions of sour, sweet and bitter, which is beneficial to the role.
Xiao Shunyao did not motivate himself with a huge ideal, but has been learning, compared to the past ten years, you chase me to force young people to grow up fast in the internal entertainment environment, he prefers to be steady and steady, whether it is music or drama, he is willing to try, in order to find more possibilities for himself, he likes the role and music to bring the sense of fullness, that feeling like a fire, warm and warm, to give him a lot of satisfaction. In fact, before filming "The League of Military Divisions", Xiao Shunyao had not yet made it clear that he must take the route of an actor in the future. "Before that, it was more about feeling the different performance form from the singing and dancing stage, trying it, going across the border, and challenging myself." He felt the freedom to release himself in his creation, relax, open himself, and gradually complete a certain stage of growth in the performance. As he himself says, "Transformation as an actor is the second stage of growth." ”
Q&A
Dialogue with Xiao Shunyao
P= PHOENIX LIFESTYLE
Talk about roles
Interpreting each character is a self-challenge
P: First of all, congratulations to Mr. Xiao for participating in the TV series "Acquaintance with Junchu" as soon as it was broadcast, it had a super high popularity, you played Lin Haoqing, the lord of the Wanhua Valley, in the play, what is the reason why you must shoot this drama?
Xiao Shunyao: After seeing the script, Lin Haoqing's complex character and the richness of this role were also a challenge for me, and it was also to see if I could successfully complete this role, and I was very interested in the whole plot and script.
P: In order to play this role well, what preparations did you make in advance?
Xiao Shunyao: In addition to reading the script, director Zhu Ruibin and I met three times before filming, and these three times were to talk about the understanding of the script and the role. Before joining the group, Director Zhu also personally wrote a copy of his understanding of Lin Haoqing from the perspective of a director on paper, hoping to help me more accurately capture the complexity of Lin Haoqing's inner world. From the first day of the whole scene shooting to the last day, we have not stopped discussing Lin Haoqing, and the director also said that it is online 24 hours a day, and I can send him a message at any time. Therefore, in the shooting, we have a lot of detailed design and plot design, which are temporarily done to do some second or third re-creation.
P: So what kind of personality is "he" in the play? How do you understand this role?
Xiao Shunyao: In fact, he is more to hide some of his real purposes, the main purpose is to protect Ji Yunhe, so Lin Haoqing is actually a very contradictory role. Some choices were helpless for him, so he could only behave very ruthlessly in front of Yunhe, and even appeared in a hostile way, because it was a safe behavior for Yunhe. This role is first of all he is very righteous, for many of his choices I think it is difficult for ordinary people to make, that is to say, for Yunhe, he is a lifelong guard, Lin Haoqing is a very chivalrous character.
P: After filming this drama, how many points did you give to your own interpretation of Lin Haoqing? In addition, have you ever considered how to make a character with limited play space have memory points in a work?
Xiao Shunyao: 85 points, I think it is a relatively passing. If the play space is limited, it can only start from the charm of the role, I hope that a simple scene, a simple emotion, can be performed to a more extreme, so that the audience can more clearly know his performance purpose and what his performance motivation is.
P: In the process of filming "Acquaintance with Junchu", what scenes made you particularly unforgettable?
Xiao Shunyao: Many scenes are unforgettable, such as the scene where I killed my father. Because this drama Lin Haoqing's heart is very complicated. Before he came to his father's room, he did not know that all the frost was not caused by his father, but by the immortal master. That is to say, his father has been keeping this secret in front of him for hundreds of years, and his father has exercised and tortured him since he was a child, but he hopes that Lin Haoqing can have a stronger heart and make him more capable of facing more powerful enemies in the future. When Lin Haoqing knew all this, his father's life had come to an end. For this kind of very complicated emotion, I actually have a lot of difficulty when performing, and I am also very nervous, afraid that the performance is not accurate enough.
In addition, my play with Shunde Xianji is also very dramatic. Many of my plays in Shunde have a lot of behaviors, a lot of lines, and some details of the setting, which we discussed with the director and the opponent actors on the spot and created them again. Of course, I hope that this drama can cause some resonance and discussion, because when I got this book before, there were a lot of life and death love and hate choices in this film, how to choose in front of the righteousness, and I think there are many interesting points that are worth thinking about and discussing. Maybe you will have some life inspiration for your life and work.
P: How does it feel to play against Di Lieba?
Xiao Shunyao: I think she is very cute, very approachable, quite a lively girl. It was fun and relaxing to shoot with her. Di Lieba is a highly professional actor. It is very likely that you will not hear the performance of the original line, and when we shoot on the spot, you can feel her control of the lines, the control of emotions and the control of the rhythm, which are very accurate.
Talk about creation
I want to play an agent with multiple identities
P: As a member of the original boy band debuted, as a singer, during which time also filmed, your acting path should be considered smooth compared to other people, do you agree?
Xiao Shunyao: I think it is relatively lucky, it cannot be said that it is smooth. I also know that I have to be grateful for this luck, so I hope that the next road will be worthy of the luck I have encountered.
P: Has the fact that you are not from an acting class ever caused trouble for you in acting?
Xiao Shunyao: Coming from a non-acting class, I think there are pros and cons. The trouble is that when you shoot for the first time, you don't know how to go to the position, you don't know where the light frame is, and you may not know the use of the lens. But if you shoot more scenes, you will understand these things. In addition, the lines may not have been trained in the professional course of the lines for as long as the acting class. But I feel that these can be overcome through practice, and I am willing to take the time to learn and make up for these deficiencies.
P: You debuted as a member of the original boy band, but in that era, the boy band market was not as good as it is now, so some of you members began to shoot, what does this change in identity mean to you? Have you struggled with the process of transformation?
Xiao Shunyao: There is no entanglement, as I get older, I have been a singer for ten years, and I have transformed into an actor, which is just the second stage of life. I don't think that the previous work has not been done particularly well, or has been done particularly badly, but it is just another stage.
P: It is said that art needs talent, in terms of performance, what are your unique advantages (talents) in addition to handsome appearance?
Xiao Shunyao: At any time, we must still work hard, study hard, study, and study.
P: What other works are there to meet with the audience this year, and do you have a list of "most wanted to act"? Or what types of characters do you want to try?
Xiao Shunyao: This year, there should be a play called "Long Moon Ember Ming", which may meet with you, and there is also a drama in my work arrangement. At present, I want to play a role like an agent with multiple identities, and I also want to play a lonely prodigal son or a chivalrous person on the lake.
P: You have produced musical works, will you continue to produce musical works in the future in addition to the development of film and television? Is there a development plan for variety shows and other aspects this year or next year?
Xiao Shunyao: Music is an indispensable part of my life, it is already a part of my life, and it is also an outlet for my other emotions. In my spare time, I still make music. Variety shows depend on whether they can meet what suits them, and they will not participate in what is not suitable for themselves.
P: As a positive energy idol, your works have been praised by the party media and the central media, and netizens commented that "society needs such a spirited artist", what is your own feeling about this?
Xiao Shunyao: I think as a public figure, I am still doing only a little bit. I have the obligation to tell more young people what kind of mentality we should maintain, showing a hot-blooded spirit. Let everyone remember the history and forge ahead.
