In the hit drama "Life Home", there is a face that everyone is familiar with and may not be able to name it - Pan Binlong. Wang Shicheng, played by him, and Qiu Xiaoxia, played by Liu Mintao, staged a "middle-aged idol drama" intertwined with sweetness and bitterness, and touched many audiences with tears in laughter.
Pan Binlong
Pan Binlong graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, and in "I Am an Actor 3" broadcast at the beginning of this year, he completed the counterattack road from the initial "not expected" to the final "championship". In the show business circle for more than ten years, experienced no one's interest, and once took any job for a living, but Pan Binlong never thought of giving up being an actor.
He still remembers that when he was studying acting in Chinese opera, the teacher asked a sentence, what do you think of acting? What do you think of the profession of actor? His answer was that being an actor is very tiring, because you have to experience the joys and sorrows of different people, to feel all his life and sadness, you need to feel with your heart, in order to express the role in a three-dimensional way, "but I am willing to do this thing." ”
"Living Home" ——
Premiere the love of middle-aged people, the most afraid of greasy
In the TV series "Life Home", The cost of Wang Shi, played by Pan Binlong, is to see the righteous and courageous, but he is imprisoned for excessive defense. After having the case, he was forced to hide his name and worked as a security guard in the hotel, and usually lived carefully. However, the appearance of Qiu Xiaoxia changed Wang Shicheng's original "stable" life. Pan Binlong said that wang Shicheng's role is very grounded, he is an ordinary person in life, a middle-aged temporary worker. "I like that kind of character with realism and the texture of life."
Wang Shicheng is the kind of small character with comedy style that Pan Binlong has always been good at, and the emotional line of Wang Shicheng and Qiu Xiaoxia who do not fight and do not know each other, and "love and kill each other" also bears the joy of the whole play.
In the TV series "Life Home", Pan Binlong and Liu Mintao staged a middle-aged idol drama.
In Pan Binlong's view, "Life Home" is a bit like a middle-aged idol drama, which is less common, but it is very attractive to him, and at the same time, the challenge comes from this. After all, this is his first time acting in an idol drama, so he will think about how to present the love of middle-aged people sweet but not greasy, with fireworks and very moving. How to grasp the scale of drama and reality, including scenes with idol drama temperament such as "heroes save beauty" in the play, are all tests for actors. And the follow-up Wang Shicheng's encouragement and his obedience to Qiu Xiaoxia' words, there will be a slight tremor when communicating with Qiu Xiaoxia, all of which are designed by Pan Binlong according to the characteristics of the role, so that Wang Shicheng can be more rich and three-dimensional.
Champion ——
Use "I Am an Actor" as an acting class
On the winning stage of the variety show "I Am an Actor 3", Zhang Ziyi said: "When I did not step on this stage, I did not know who Pan Binlong was, and I hope that everyone will know him and know more such obscure good actors through him." In the show, Pan Binlong has played five father figures: the father who lost his child in "Dear", the father who supported his daughter's dream in "The King of New Comedy", the father of the rebellious stepson in "The Long Day", the father of the autistic son in "Ocean Paradise" and the selfish father in "Skyscraper".
In "I Am an Actor 3", Pan Binlong played a number of father figures.
Searching for the three words "Pan Binlong", the hottest is the "Dear" clip he starred in the show, he not only performed the restraint of the character at the dinner table, but also improvised a Qin cavity, huming out the pain that the character held in his heart. This performance conquered the mentor and won the recognition of the audience.
Before accepting the invitation to record "I Am an Actor 3", Pan Binlong experienced a psychological construction, and he wanted more people to see him. "After groping for so many years and filming so many scenes, it is not impossible to let yourself go back to the furnace through a variety show and learn about it." Pan Binlong regards "I Am an Actor 3" as an acting class, in this class with 33 students, every performance has teacher comments, the opportunity is rare, so think about it, the mentality is also much better.
After winning the championship, Pan Binlong admitted that there are indeed many plays to find him, but the profession of actor is relatively passive, and still faces the fate of being selected and chosen, "Whether you are known by more people or unknown, you are passive." ”
Studied under Feng Gong, the first Spring Festival Gala "a little fluttering"
When Pan Binlong was in high school, the teacher asked, what ideals or dreams do you have in the future? Born in Jixi, Heilongjiang, the idea instilled in him by adults from a young age was, "You must study hard, and if you don't study well, you will be a big shovel." "There will be only two careers in the future, either sitting in the office or holding a shovel (manual work). Pan Binlong was also quite entangled at that time, there was nothing wrong with a large shovel, there was nothing unhappy; but sitting in the office was indeed quite warm, but there was no special sense of superiority. At that time, Pan Binlong was learning violin and singing, and when the school organized the performance, he naturally became the main force, and he especially enjoyed performing on the stage. Because of his young age, he didn't know much about acting, but he felt that acting was a very good profession, and he didn't expect it to become his goal.
After seven years of military career, Pan Binlong went to Study in Chinese Opera and became a North Drifter. In 2004, he was admitted to the cross-talk performance class of the Central Academy of Drama, where he studied under the cross-talk performance artist Feng Gong.
Pan Binlong has liked Feng Gong since he was a child, and many cross-talk works can be reversed like a stream. In 2008, he was taken by Feng Gong to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. In this sketch called "Bus Concerto", the actors who are partnered include Feng Gong, Yan Xuejing, and Wang Baoqiang. The Spring Festival Gala is the starting station for an actor to "national popularity". After the Spring Festival Gala, Pan Binlong even pushed away the invitation of the TV series "My Regiment Leader My Regiment" and refused a role in more than forty scenes. "I thought it should be on fire the next day, and it turned out that it wasn't like that at all, and no one knew who I was when I went out, so it was embarrassing, so that I was idle for two or three months, and I didn't have anything to do."
In 2017, Pan Binlong once again appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, with partners Cai Ming and Pan Changjiang starring in the sketch "Old Wife".
During that time, Pan Binlong thought a lot, "Maybe I really don't think very rationally." When he came down from the Spring Festival Gala stage in 2008, his mother once said to him on the phone, "The performance is good, but this matter has passed, it (the Spring Festival Gala) only belongs to yesterday, and then you have to go step by step, and you can't be carried away by the results." Recalling his mother's words, Pan Binlong said that that time was indeed a bit fluttery, "Not in line with my consistent style of behavior, I still have to calmly face the honor and calmly face the difficulties." Keep a good mindset and deal with everything rationally. ”
Do everything to make a living, but being an actor is the only goal
Every year, there are countless graduates of the performance departments of major art colleges, and Pan Binlong is not the one who looks most prominent at first glance. After graduating from Chinese opera, Pan Binlong also experienced the stage of sending resumes one by one, but sinking into the sea.
At that time, a friend said that a crew lacking an assistant director can try it, because it has not been done before, Pan Binlong said, to understand. Hanging him is the name of the director's assistant, because he does not know what to do in the director's group, so when the on-site assistant director is busy, he will go to help, some scenes are not good, need someone to find a place on the scene to put a lamp, he also helps to get it. Including props, the white seat cover of the taxi was about to be removed, and he went to help dismantle it, and as long as he saw the work, he reached out to help.
Recalling the days when he was worried about his livelihood, Pan Binlong said that he and his wife rented a small room of less than 10 square meters, and their biggest wish was to "live in a house with a toilet in the house." At that time, the sense of crisis was particularly strong, and it was impossible to be idle, and there was no money to earn when idle. So he had to take over the work, and he had to take over everything. Talking about cross-talk, acting in sketches, wedding celebrants, hosting business events, and even rehearsing choruses for primary and secondary school students... "Do everything for your livelihood, but in the end you still have to be an actor." ”
Stills from the movie "The Unknown Generation"
In 2018, Pan Binlong starred in the movie "The Unknown Generation" with Zhang Yu and Ren Suxi, playing a small character with love and righteousness, the robber "Li Haigen", and won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 10th Macao International Film Festival. In the works of "Pancake Man", "Demon Bell Bell", "Relief Grocery Store", "Hello, Li Huanying", there are also pan Binlong's shadow. He said that each role is important to himself, "Although he is a character, I turn him into a living person." ”
Without the experience on the military stage at that time, without the hard work of being an assistant director, without the resume being thrown into the trash can waiting, he said he would not be where he is today. "Especially in the profession of being an actor, this experience is more needed, and this experience will allow you to interpret each role, there are many life experiences to refer to and experience."
As for the current state of life, he also enjoys it. "I may not be suitable for overnight fame, but I should be down-to-earth, move forward step by step steadily, let more people know me, let more people trust me." 」
