Xie Yuchen has always been an important but not much-inked, but very wonderful marginal character in the pirate pen universe, and has always appeared as a supporting role in several film and television dramas that have been adapted, which is the first time that he has been positively portrayed as one of the two male protagonists.
A large part of the audience of the series of film and television works such as Pirate Pen is book fans, and for book fans who love characters deeply, they have a deeper understanding of the characters, so the performance requirements for the actors are higher, and they are not taken for granted with the name of the characters. In the case that other actors Zhuyu have been in front of him, why can Ji Xiaobing's version of Xie Yuchen be recognized by many book fans, and what personal characteristics and advantages does his interpretation have, let's get closer to Ji Xiaobing and the Xie Yuchen he plays.
When it comes to Xie Yuchen, the first impression that often comes to people's minds is that he is eight years old in charge, which is the root of all the personalities of this character, all the wisdom and scheming, the killing is decisive, the temperament is amazing, including entering the February Red Gate to learn the play, etc. are based on this basis, only early wisdom and perseverance can catch the heavy position of the head of the family at the age of eight, only ruthless determination can lead the stormy Xie family through countless dangers, and the delicate pink will wear out an undissolvable murderous aura, otherwise in the dangerous and treacherous environment of the rivers and lakes, He simply won't make it out. To some extent, the character of Xie Yuchen has been a full number since his appearance, and there is no room for growth in skills and mentality, and all his youth and immaturity are consumed by nightmares one by one before his appearance, and along the way, only the heavier and heavier burden on his body and the resulting changes in mood, as the author said, it is suffering that has made him, and suffering has left a sense of precipitation that has been repeatedly tempered in his temperament.
He has a handsome face but an iron bone, supporting the position of leader at the age of eight, he is thin but weighs more than a thousand pounds, and he single-handedly suppresses many crises. Xieyu Flower has never been a weak petite flower that can only stand on the stage and sing softly, but a blood-colored overlord flower that faces the abyss and looks down on life and death.
The most ideal casting of film and television dramas, and the most basic principle is to have both form and god.
shape, composed of the appearance and temperament of the actor.
God, given by the actor's professional ability.
Xie Yuchen's official height is 179-180, his body is thin, and he has high requirements for the appearance of the actor, and he entered the February Red Gate to learn drama and sing Danjiao at a young age, so the actor can not violate the costume of women.
Ji Xiaobing's appearance belongs to the traditional Chinese aesthetic Sven handsome, at the same time, beautiful and boney, sharp inside, smooth jaw line, beautiful lip shape, long eyelashes, pure and resolute and a little sense of vulnerability, that is, the now popular so-called male actor's sense of fragility and brokenness.
Xie Yuchen, as a recognized unparalleled wisdom among the nine families of the same age, the first calculation of the Xie family, his actor must be convincing enough to play a role with high intelligence.
Having said the appearance, look at the temperament.
In the original work, there is a summary of Xie Yuchen's character through the perspective of Wu Xie: "In fact, Xiaohua is an extremely difficult person to get along with, he gathered all his good things to a few people. ”
Ji Xiaobing's temperament is a little cold, but he speaks with a gentle attitude, and the actor's character background often affects the breadth of his drama, this cold temperament makes him play a high cold belly black character is particularly suitable, and playing a gentle and affectionate role is also in place. It can be positive, it can be evil, it can be well-behaved, it can be stunned, it can be ruffian, and it can even be teased.
But the shape is only the first step, if you only stay in the form, it is equivalent to using people to support the actor, the character has a temperament, lacks muscles and bones, is soft and collapsed, and cannot stand up.
When "SCI Mystery Collection" was broadcast that year, some people said that Ji Xiaobing's appearance and temperament fit like a character coming out of a book, no need to act, people just go there as soon as they are right.
I personally do not agree with this view.
The appearance and temperament of the actor only gives the character a body, and if there is no performance to inject soul, it is just a skin supported by the character. And Zhanyao can make people always remember, obviously not a character with empty skin and no soul.
The above said that Ji Xiaobing's version of Xie Yuchen's form, let's talk about his god.
As mentioned earlier, the character of Xie Yuchen has a sense of precipitation, and for the actor, this sense of precipitation is composed of his own experience and business ability.
For a film and television drama, if the plot and characters can get one, it is at least half successful, which means that whether the shaping of the characters is in place is one of the important keys to the success or failure of a film.
As mentioned at the beginning, Xie Yuchen has always appeared as a supporting role in the film and television adaptation of the pirate pen, which is the first time that he has been positively portrayed as one of the two male protagonists, and his partner is still the most recognized black blind actor, if the actor cannot support the character, then the result can be said to be catastrophic and tragic.
The time of the movie is only an hour and a half, which cannot be like the TV series, with a large amount of space to explain the background of the characters and portray the character, plus the film itself belongs to a part of the pirate pen universe series, the characters appear against the character, do not need to spend the plot and time to build the characters, and go straight to the theme at the beginning, which is an advantage for the rhythm of the plot, but a disadvantage for the actors.
Most of the film is a martial arts opera that explores the tomb, and the literary drama occupies an extremely limited space, which means that the time left for the actors to shape the characters is quite short. As an actor who played Xie Yuchen for the first time, how to complete the construction of the character in the shortest possible time, win the audience's recognition, and pull it into the plot is the biggest difficulty of his performance in the film.
A person's current appearance is accumulated from the past, and in the absence of a plot to explain the background of the characters, he can only rely on the actor to internalize the original character into the performance one by one, and integrate Xie Yuchen's past into his raised eyes and low eyebrows.
As a book fan said: acting is an instant, giving all experiences and choices. You are sure that this flower is a flower, that he can do all the things that were done in the original work, that he can bear all the stories that are in the original work, that he can afford all the expectations and evaluations in the original work, and that he is worthy of being delivered to all the plans of the incredible level of the original work.
In the film, the blind man turned his head when he heard the sound of the car, showed a smile, Xie Yuchen appeared, got out of the car and looked at the surrounding environment, greeted the blind man, the two faced each other, Xie Yuchen showed the first smile of the whole film to the blind man.
Xie Yuchen has a very key character setting that does not appear in the original work, but from the author's communication and interview with readers, the black blind man teaches Xie Yuchen no matter how miserable, people can laugh, how to live happily, how to let go of themselves, how to show their weakness.
In the original work, Xie Yuchen's laughter is indeed impressive, for example, he clashed with Wu Xie and others, laughing while covering his injuries. Another example is that he lured the enemy with his body, was hit back and forth on the train, and showed the laughter before the big move.
In the film, Xie Yuchen laughs almost from beginning to end in front of the black blind, but these smiles are not just expressions of pleasure, but carry a lot of information, which is an important part of character construction.
How warm Xie Yuchen is to his friends, how cruel he is to his enemies, an important means for actors in the process of shaping characters is to deal with the relationship between characters and different characters, and one of the ways Xie Yuchen shows the closeness of the characters in the film is through his laughter.
At the party to welcome the guests, Xie Yuhua ridiculed the blind, why don't you learn from others to start your own business, and then showed the second laugh of the whole film.
This smile is not for the blind, but towards the other people sitting there, obviously different from the previous smile facing the blind, with a strong sense of distance, this is a social smile belonging to the Xiedangjia.
For the blind man's words, Xie Yuchen replied with a smile and ridicule, noting that this smile was very different from the social smile in front of him, which was Xie Yuchen's laugh, not Xie Dangjia's laugh.
Smiling has become one of the effective means to express different sides of the character and switch freely between different sides.
When Xie Yuchen completely let go of his identity as a family member, his smile was completely unguarded, completely stretched, his expression was smart, with a bit of liveliness, the sunlight and waves reflected in his eyes, everything was so beautiful, those heavy burdens that had been on his shoulders since he was eight years old seemed to be lightened.
The smile was also a demonstration of tacit understanding, and when Geya said that there was no way to make the monster open its mouth, and the blind man said that it was not necessary, Xie Yuchen immediately understood his intention and showed a thoughtful smile. After hearing the sound of water in a desperate situation, after listening to the blind man's explanation of Lima's death, he immediately understood the other party's thoughts and smiled.
It is an expression of life attitude, when using the only effective weapon at hand, Xie Yuchen said with a smile on his mouth, this time he really ran out of food, but he was still ridiculing each other with the blind. After killing the monster, the two who were exhausted from poisoning lay on their backs, still joking in the face of desperation, and looked down on life and death.
It is also a portrayal of the character, before jumping into the mountain stream, looking at the blind man, his face is tired, but his smile is still faintly showing some ruthlessness in the background of his personality. For the rest of his life, the two surfaced, their joyful smiles still having a clear sharpness, and when he turned his head to look at the blind man, his smile added a little softness.
In addition to being in charge of the family at the age of eight, Xie Yuchen's other impressive setting is to learn drama at an early age, and when it comes to this setting, people often focus only on whether the actor's female costume is inconsistent, but ignores another very important hidden requirement, that is, the actor's eye play must be qualified enough.
People who have a little understanding of traditional Chinese opera know that opera performance has extremely strict training and requirements for the eyes of actors, Xie Yuchen learned drama at a young age, and practiced can be described as a boy's skill, the characteristics of the industry determine that his gaze must be very bright, good at conveying feelings, at the same time, Xie Dangjia is a moody person, overall emotional introverted, many inner activities are expressed through subtle eyes, if the actor's eye play is not online enough, then this character is equivalent to ruining most of the half.
When it comes to the Nine Doors Xie Dangjia, how can you wear pink out of murderous aura?
Obviously, you can't just rely on the original character description, nor can you just rely on the audience's brain to make up, but you need the actor to clearly present it in the performance. Xie Dangjia's momentum and murderous spirit are not holding a shelf and staring at the eyes to support the character, nor is it full of strong emotions, but the actor's shaping and embodiment of the character's temperament from the inside out.
In contrast, before entering the jungle, Xie Yuchen said goodbye to the blind man, and then looked at the state after entering the jungle, you will find that his expression tone and tone, including the lines of facial muscles and subtle body language, began to become sharp and sharp, especially his eyes.
Xie Dangjia is not overjoyed or angry, and his temperament is amazing, referring to a deterrent force that can crush thousands of huge waves below the surface of the calm sea.
The most obvious is that when Old Wei raised his weapon to threaten everyone, Xie Yuchen stood in front of the blind man, his tone was calm, still did not speak sharply, but killed fiercely, and the momentum was compelling, so that the crazy Old Wei had to retreat timidly in front of him.
This is why if you want to support this role, once the actor's eye play is unqualified, the character will directly destroy most of it.
Can hold up, can be suppressed, refers not only to the eight-year-old Xie Yuchen, but also to his actor requirements, to be able to support the character and suppress the plot.
The so-called finishing touch, the eyes of the characters have brilliance, emotions, and personality, so that they can have muscles and bones, soul and courage.
Xie Yuchen is as cruel to his enemies, how warm he is to his friends, he will tell cold jokes to amuse people, help friends make tea and garlic, and do his best to let anxious friends get a moment of rest, just like Wu Xie said, he gathered all his good things to a few people.
In interviews with readers, the author interprets the relationship between Xie Yuchen and the black blind man as the two have a common answer to life, have a sense of resonance for many things, and are each other's rare existence.
That is to say, these two people know each other very well, a lot of words do not need to be spoken, you can understand each other's meaning, specific to the film, a lot of their communication is done outside of words, and how to make the inner communication and emotions of the two accurately transmitted to the audience, all rely on the performance of the actor, in which Xie Yuchen's gaze tells a lot.
For example, the wooden house night talk, this is an obvious dispute scene, Xie Yuchen is the attacker, and the blind man is the defender. The two sides come and go, serious differences, mutual uncompromising, this is a confrontation between old friends for many years, both mutual respect and understanding, but also their own tough stubbornness and persistence. The process of competing with each other does not focus on the expression of the lines, and more confrontation exists in the performance outside the lines.
The blind man smiled and said, it seems that you already knew that I would come here, so you prepared these things.
Xie Yuchen glanced at him, did not respond, just poured the wine with a calm face, and then raised his eyes to look at the blind man, handed the wine glass over for testing, and saw the blind man stretching out his hand to hold the air, silently continuing to pour wine for himself, but you can read what he is thinking in his heart in the subtle changes in his facial expression and eyes.
The blind man persuaded Yuchen to give up running for himself, and it all ended there.
Xie Yuchen did not agree, his objections and emotions were written in his eyes, "You said that if you are blind, you will not live long. ”
The blind man's face darkened, indicating that I was not worried about this.
Xie Yuchen's worries, unwillingness, insisted on not saying it, but his body language, expressions, and eyes all told his opposition. Such silent expression can better reflect the emotions and relationships between the characters than the fierce dispute, and is more in line with the character's character and behavior, of course, this also requires the two actors to use and control the performance language accurately and delicately.
A more intense dispute comes from a dialogue before the coffin, which is not only a straightforward expression of emotions, but also a foreshadowing and charging of the wonderful fight scenes behind.
Therefore, the emotions of this dialogue must be pushed up, otherwise firstly, if the audience's emotions are not effectively released in the actor's performance, it will be very uncomfortable to hang in mid-air, and it will be very uncomfortable if it can't come down, and secondly, it will not be able to complete the emotional smooth docking with the fierce fight scenes behind, and the audience will have a sense of emotional fracture.
But the promotion of emotions should be pushed carefully, not for the sake of intense and intense, for the sake of orgasm and climax, the emotional expression of the characters must first obey the personality, Xie Yuchen such a weathered, extremely rational people even if the emotions are excited, they still have strong self-control, but at the same time the actor must be able to perform emotional tension.
Therefore, we cannot simply rely on the expression of the lines, but also rely more on the performance and use of expressions and body language by the actors, especially the eyes full of emotions are often more powerful than the lines that are appealed to the mouth.
For the shaping of characters, sometimes it is necessary to be as accurate as possible, but sometimes it is not enough to be accurate, it needs to be rich enough, you can't describe these complex emotions in words, because once you try to put them into practice in words, you will make these heavy emotions thin.
As an adventure thriller theme, there are a large number of fighting scenes in the film, and Xie Yuchen's force value in the original work is in the forefront of the nine doors of this generation, and the fighting scenes in the film not only reflect his agility and flexibility, strong explosive power, and good flexibility, but also do not lose the power of Ling Li, after all, Xie Dangjia practices real killing moves. Its representative weapon, the butterfly knife, has been used extensively, and at the same time, stick and rope art have also been displayed to varying degrees.
The training of martial arts is one of the necessary processes for actors to approach the role step by step and become a role, but all industries related to creation will go through this process, both physical and mental grinding.
An actor internalizing a character is like stripping himself inch by inch, breaking it up, and then recasting it into another person. It's not comfortable, but it's also attractive.
Xie Yuchen is a very typical beautiful and tragic character in every sense, and the beauty of this kind of character not only comes from the appearance of the character, but also from the tragedy formed by the tragic formation of powerful and beautiful things being tragically shattered. Xie Yuchen, who was ridiculed by readers as a battle-damaged appearance, is undoubtedly quite important whether his actor can fully show the tragic beauty of the characters.
An actor's own appearance temperament will affect the temperament of the character he plays, when an actor with a clean and handsome appearance and a sense of vulnerability plays a beautiful and tragic role, the more powerful and tragic he is, the more impactful this tragic sense of beauty, strong and fragile form an extreme pull and confrontation, so the scene of Xie Yuchen being poisoned and injured in the film and falling into a desperate situation is particularly impressive and has become the cover of many Erchuang videos.
At the end of the film, after a birth into death, Xie Yuchen tried his best, but still did not achieve the desire to save his best friend, and left the blind man, his smile has the cherished divorce of his friend and the tacit understanding in the unspoken, and there is also a shallow exhaustion from the depths of the years, but the action of turning around is still decisive and free, without hesitation, only responsibility.
What exactly does a qualified actor bring to the character? I think it's the complex thoughts and emotions in the characters' hearts that can't be simply covered with lines and plots, and you will receive these rich information in his eyes, his expressions, and his body language. Especially for the characters in the series of IP such as Pile Pen, when the character has thickness and soul, he is no longer only in the present at that time, but can see those heavy but wonderful pasts on his body, and the vast and more infinite future.
From no one optimistic before the start of filming, to now recognized, the actor does not live up to the role, the role will not live up to the actor, as Ji Xiaobing said on Weibo, it is his luck to meet Xie Yuchen. Although the two sides have been together for only a short period of 23 days, they have left a strong mark in each other's lives, thanks to Xie Yuchen, may you one day be able to remove the shackles given by fate and have the right to fly freely.
