"I just have to try to move forward." Lei Jiayin said this in an interview with "People". In this interview, he tells many personal experiences, allowing the public to have a deeper understanding of how he has grown and thought as an actor.
Lei Jiayin never found to sparkle
In junior high school, Lei Jiayin applied for an art school in Anshan, Shenyang, with the encouragement of his mother, fortunately, he was caught at a glance and began to learn acting, although there was no one engaged in literary and artistic work at home, he was favored by actor Lu Xiaohe with his unique personality.
His acting career officially began, he studied hard, practicing his profession while reading, but at the beginning, he did not "become a hit" as he hoped to "hit the gold", and at that stage he even questioned himself "Why can't it be done?" ”
Instead of going down in confusion, it is better to improve yourself, as he said, "I hope that my performance and expression can really communicate with the audience", when the industry is constantly updated, variety shows have become popular with a lot of "traffic", he still insists on his choice of down-to-earth filming, and concentrates on integrating into the script roles in the "White Deer Plain" crew, planting and cutting wheat, as if he is staying away from the impetuosity of the world in this way.
"The First Half of My Life" "Ex-Husband Brother" became popular
During the period, "China Has Hip Hop" producer Che Che once asked to "find work" for him and give acting training to newcomers, but Lei Jiayin declined on the grounds of "waiting for me to play well and understand it", out of cherishing his own feathers, he always hoped that he was recognized by the public as a "good actor".
After the filming of "Embroidered Spring Knife II: Asura Battlefield", Lei Jiayin received the script of "The First Half of My Life", but he never expected that this "ex-husband brother" role finally made his wish to be recognized through acting be realized, and the identity of a "good actor" who he missed was also recognized by the public at this time, and along the way he found himself in confusion and constantly thought about the direction of growth, which also made his acting skills more and more proficient.
The road he insisted on finally ushered in the light, but for the performance, Lei Jiayin always maintained a humble learning attitude, when filming "Chang'an Twelve O'clock", because he was too tired, he always told himself that he must rest after filming this scene, although his body was tired, he did not relax at all, and even director Cao Dun was worried that he was too tired, both distressed and unable to comfort.
Lei Jiayin in the "World" crew for more than 180 days, almost no rest time, busy to remember what the hotel he stayed in looked like, on the set, he portrayed himself as a northeastern man who couldn't wake up every day and hung his children, and the role of "Zhou Bingkun" was interpreted by him as real and natural.
"The World" director Li Lu commented on Lei Jiayin
"Strong plasticity, no trace of acting."
It is precisely because of his insistence on acting that he is more sincere and truthful, he has been praised by many people in the circle, and writer Shuang Xuetao commented on him: "I will not say those soup words, nor will I say particularly fake words, and try to be sincere within the scope of permission." ”
"Strong plasticity, no trace of acting." This is the evaluation of Lei Jiayin by Li Lu, the director of "The World"; Guo Jingfei, a college friend, treats him as a buddy who "even if the world says I'm bad, he'll be on my side"; In Che Che's eyes, he is "both brave and real"; Lu Yang said he has a "ability to maintain a grasp of all the feelings in life."
Living plainly and truthfully, learning, struggling and growing, he found his goal again and again, pondered and moved forward, some relieved, some painful, and finally chose to unswervingly strive to move forward.
What is life? To use Lei Jiayin's handling as an answer, that is: it no longer matters who I am, the important thing is to pick up the heart of the performance, perform well what the audience wants to see, and perform well - "crumple yourself for everyone to see".
