A while ago, the TV series "Circuit Prosecutor Group" received the "Amway" of the Deputy Procurator General of the Supreme People's Procuratorate: "I recommend that you take a good look at it, this is a good TV series." "Hu Xue'e is a character in this TV series, and Hu Xue'e and I are the relationship between actors and characters, and it is a relationship of mutual achievement.
In 2018, I participated in a friend's painting exhibition, and at the exhibition I met the director Li Lu (who was also the director of the later hit TV series "The World"), and in the conversation, Director Li revealed that there was a drama that might find me. I readily agreed. In the first half of 2019, Director Li sent a script, and he asked me to see the role of Hu Xue'e in the script. I just watched two episodes and I was drawn to it. I watched the whole play in one breath, deeply moved by hu Xue'e's fate, and without saying a word, I picked up the phone and replied to the director: I play this role!

In recent years, I have rarely taken on the role, one is that the role is not suitable, and the other is a little afraid of hardship when I am older. But the role of Hu Xue'e is too fully written! Although she is only a supporting role, there are not many scenes, but the scenes are all big plays, all passion plays, emotional ups and downs, she has thoughts, reason, and routines, and she is a mother who struggles at the bottom of society and can open up everything for her son. You should shout for Hu Xue'e! I was thrilled... This is the problem of my person, when I get excited, I don't want to think about anything, I don't care about anything, I can't wait to dare to go up the knife mountain. But afterwards you will regret it, and you will be afraid and worried for a long time in the entanglement. This time it is like this again, it is about to start shooting, I flinched, thinking about it, looking forward and backward, I am afraid that Hu Xue'e's drama tension is too big, do not move the real feelings of acting, will waste this role, move the real feelings of acting, I have to take this old fate if I don't get it right.
In addition, for a lifetime, I have played either a policeman or a soldier, either a good wife and a good mother, or a cadre who is just and upright. They are all dignified and upright characters, and this kind of small person at the bottom of society is rarely involved. Moreover, I imagined Hu Xue'e being paranoid from the external shape to the character personality, which was not pleasing to the actors, especially the actresses. If you don't get it right, you will be scolded. There is a suspicion that the old are disrespectful and the late festival is not guaranteed. Thinking about it, I went to the director to fight back, but he did not agree, he encouraged me: I just want to find an actor with your temperament to play Hu Xue'e, too smooth to play an actor, this role will not make people sympathetic, it is not cute. He also said many things such as making sure to arrange my rest and never tire me out. It's rare for a director to trust you so much, and a soldier dies for a confidant! Take it one step at a time.
After staying up in August, I finally arrived at Qingdao First People's Hospital as notified, where I began my first day of shooting. That day, the arrangement was a scene between Hu Xue'e and Feng Sen in the hospital, hu Xue'e wanted to throw Feng Sen's school bag down the stairs, to buckle the lunch box in his face, and to pretend to be crazy and stupid with those fake intermediaries. You must skillfully say the name of the public security bureau chief, the name of the prosecutor general, and the name of the personnel director in the play, because Hu Xue'e is too familiar with them and deals with these names all day.
It's all drama! My biggest shortcoming in life is not counting, not remembering people's names! I often eat with people the first day, and the next day I don't know people, so I have offended many people. As a result, this time I shot to say that the name of the person here is stuck, several times can not go, and finally the staff with A4 paper to write the names of Zhang Youcheng, Bian Guo and other characters, held up in front of the camera, although the scene has passed, but the heart left a shadow, more and more unconfident, regret how they took such a role, too humiliating. There are many worries, many distractions, and I dare not let go of the performance.
On that day, a large number of live actors and staff, recording at the same time, closing the door and blocking the window to get the lack of oxygen in the house, it was even more irritable, I took the excuse to go to the bathroom, where I slapped myself twice! The older you get, the less you want to do, what do you want to do! Is it useful! There is no turning back! Anyway, I have already taken this scene, and stretching out my head is a knife to shrink my head and a knife. It's out! I took a deep breath, pushed open the bathroom door, and went out with my head held high. Actors are very fragile, and it is actually quite difficult to overcome themselves...
After filming this scene, the director came from the monitor with a slap on the face, good, very good! There was also consciousness hugging me as a sign of comfort, and I was a little weak. Almost all the scenes filmed that day were Hu Xue'e's appearances, scenes that set the tone of the characters. The director pulled me to see the replay, and I refused. I barely watched the replay when I was filming, which was a sickness when I sat down while filming "The Wind and Rain Lady". Don't dare to look, watch it will indulge in dissatisfaction with yourself. This time I dare not look at it!

It's time to shoot the scene at Hu Xue'e's home, after a period of running-in, everyone is familiar with it, I can talk with Wang Xiao, the actor who plays the eldest son, about his mother Wang Fuli, and I can cooperate with Yu Hewei tacitly. Yu Hewei is a very good actor, he can catch the scene temporarily on the spot, and I am ok in this regard. That day when filming the scene where Guangshun took a kitchen knife to cut Feng Sen, Yu Hewei saw that there was a plate of small dates on the table, and he watched me and Guangshun quarrel while eating dates, I caught this scene, and when I saw that Feng Sen was going to leave, I begged him for help, and while making a gesture, I grabbed the small jujube and stuffed it into Feng Sen's pocket. I'm very proud of this scene, this is not written by the screenwriter, we added to the character...
Hu Xue'e's family scene is very tired, for more than a week, I have to shout every day, every day I have to cry, shooting this scene is the hottest few days in Qingdao, the house to set up lights, close the door and block the window is even more hot. The scene is on the third floor, there is no elevator, when there is no play for me, everyone let me go downstairs to cool down, but my knees are not good, it is difficult to go up and down the stairs, and the staff squeezes out some place for me to sit at the narrow staircase. In charge of the production of life, I will give me a lot of delicious food, but I can eat it! I finally got tired and fell down, cold and fever, toothache and sore throat, a bunch of medicines on the table...
The "Circuit Prosecution Team" ended
The scene of eating dumplings was in a hurry, we all put on makeup, the scene was not yet implemented, and we were temporarily pulled to the edge of a seafood market by the sea. Only give half a day and must finish shooting. I wasn't too happy that day, how could such a heavy scene be filmed like a cutscene! But I still try to stabilize my emotions, try to cooperate, I am very proud of my designs, Hu Xue'e and Feng Sen cry about how Xu Dafa's family bullied her, pulled her hair down strands by strands, while crying and saying, while comparing. That little locket of hair was a prop I had prepared for myself. Pretty colorful!
That scene Feng Sen saw me crying, pulled out a few pieces of tissue for me, I was reluctant to use, stuffed into my pocket, saw Feng Sen look at me, and smiled embarrassedly, that little play is the action of the low-level people I have seen, I think it is most appropriate to use here. Special thanks to Yu Hewei for their tacit cooperation... Later, the director made this scene into a small video for the whole group to watch, saying that it was a textbook performance. This time I watched, I found that I was already an old lady, how this shape is so ugly...

In the scene where the government arrests all those unscrupulous brokers, I understand that the writers and directors mean to shout out the anger and helplessness of the common people being oppressed by unscrupulous brokers and corrupt officials in this scene! So in the first audition, I rushed to get tired and breathless, and quickly grabbed a few heart-saving pills and took them in my mouth. That day the director was afraid that I was tired, some shots were not ideal and did not make up for it, it was a pity, the scene will definitely be affected...

I remember that this play premiered on Hunan TV, very suddenly. That day, my friend called me in a hurry: Watch Hunan TV, and youku will also be officially broadcast in a while! I jumped up from my chair and looked around for the TV remote control, but my heart began to tremble, and I slowly returned to the chair and sat down... Trembling to open the mobile phone Youku App, is broadcasting the tea house I overheard Feng Sen and He Shuguo talking to the scene, the subtitles flying bullet screen "this old lady can really act", "Who is this old lady acting", "Exploding! The old drama bone is good acting! "My heart has mentioned the throat eye... For half a month, except for tasks, I tried to sit in front of the TV and watch the full broadcast, during which my mobile phone was exploded, and fans, friends, and unknown viewers all sent me a message: "You are amazing! "The scene between you and your two sons in prison, you both acted very well!" "Thank you for giving us such a good spiritual food!" My heart is beautiful, sweet...
Hu Xue'e, who is enthusiastic about the audience painting
After the last episode of "Circuit Prosecution Team" was broadcast, I sat in front of the TV, my heart empty. I posted a post on WeChat: "Hu Xue'e left, pulled her little broken car away, and disappeared into the sea of people... Grateful for all people, grateful for everyone's true feelings, grateful for everyone's justice! "I got to know Hu Xue'e, I gave her life, she gave me the courage to overcome myself and create a new world of creativity... (Song Chunli)
