When it comes to actor Pan Binlong, "comedian" may be an inseparable label. A face with his own sense of comedy, the natural funny talent of the Northeast people, coupled with the professional training of the Chinese opera cross-talk performance class, so that he is really successful in the comedy stage, through the variety show "Happy Comedian" to open the popularity, successively got the opportunity to experience performance in "Pancake Man", "Demon Bell Bell", "Two Tigers" and other films.

"Whether it's a cross-talk actor or a comedian, the final landing point is 'actor'." When asked whether "comedians" limit his expansion of the character image, Pan Binlong is very frank: "When I was still unknown, I was lucky enough to have such a logo that made the audience remember me and like me. But in addition to being funny, he has always had more expectations for performance, such as putting away his smiling face, deep and introverted literary style, and idol dramas that he wants to challenge.
Joining the urban emotional drama "Life Home" and playing the role of the clue character "Wang Shicheng", he gave him this surprise: "Sweet love is finally my turn, haha." ”

"No small roles, only small actors"
"Life Home" tells the story of an ordinary pair of "bankrupt mothers and daughters" who use the wisdom of life to resolve anxiety and difficulties. In the play, Wang Shicheng, the "warm male uncle" played by Pan Binlong, once had a happy family, but due to the excessive defense caused by a righteous and courageous act, he was imprisoned and his family was broken, and he had to change his name and surname after being released from prison and be a low-key person. Qiu Xiaoxia, played by Liu Mintao, never fought without acquaintance to spend the rest of her life hand in hand, and staged a "middle-aged idol drama" with tears in laughter and warmth.
"We need a person with comedic ability to ensure the realization of the comedy tone in the play." For this consideration, the main creative team threw an olive branch to Pan Binlong. After reading the script, he also quickly agreed to act: "This role is just soft, affectionate and righteous, and the simple sense of security in him can especially impress the audience." On the other hand, Wang Shicheng's story line makes him have a great desire to interpret and explore: "Wang Shicheng once went to prison for excessive defense and accidentally killing people. After he was released from prison, he was treated differently from society and fell into some kind of psychological difficulties, which I did not experience in reality, but I was very able to empathize with. ”

"After all, the role is not the actor himself, he has his joys and sorrows, as an actor I will have some advantages, but also need to do a lot of homework." 」 Pan Binlong said that Wang Shicheng is indeed a figure in his comfort zone, but this does not mean that his interpretation is as easy as the outside world imagines, and he is afraid that the love section of the two middle-aged people is not in place, but it makes the audience feel exaggerated and greasy.
"Usually, I like to add personal ideas to my creation, such as special mantras, action details, etc., which will make the character appear more three-dimensional. The script of "Life Home" itself has been very rigorous, and the screenwriter has made a lot of line expression designs according to the image of Wang Shicheng in his imagination. In this case, how to make my creation an empowerment, rather than a snake that conflicts with the screenwriter's concept, I have communicated with the director for a long time in private. Pan Binlong said.

This time with Liu Mintao starred in the husband and wife file, "contrast cute", "freshness" and "strength drama bone on the same stage" became the keywords of cooperation between the two. Talking about Liu Mintao's famous work "Red High Heels", Pan Binlong laughed: "I know, she still has a nickname called 'Min Minzi'!" ”
"From inside the play to outside the play, it is not difficult to find that women face social pressure and assume much more family responsibilities than men, and the same is true of the actor industry." He said bluntly that many actresses who developed during the same period began to play the role of mother-in-law and mother-in-law as soon as they turned 30, "but in fact, 30+ is when the actors have accumulated certain experience and have sufficient energy, and they are fully capable of challenging more different types of roles and showing the most sincere side of the performance." ”
Therefore, in such a series that focuses on the topic of women's growth, even if he is not the most eye-catching main coffee, Pan Binlong also has a diligent and open-minded "no small role, only small actors": "Without our roles, the story of Qiu Xiaoxia and Qiu Donna would not be so rich and perfect, wouldn't it?" Everyone appears vividly on the screen, so that the audience can feel the projection of real life, which can reflect the meaning of the three words 'life home'. ”
"Life Home", which started slowly and hotly, rose steadily during the broadcast period and was praised by netizens as "the best recent character group portrait drama". Just like the prejudgment of the chief producer Niu Jixin at the beginning of the creation, it may not become a traffic hit, but this will be a drama with a breath of life and can be remembered.
This is also the reason why Pan Binlong likes this drama, "Every work carries the painstaking efforts of the creators, and I think that the value of them is not only measured by whether they have become so-called blockbusters in a certain period of time, but also to see whether they can still output valuable content to the audience after a long period of precipitation, causing discussion and resonance." ”

"Don't call me a treasure actor"
"Life Home" is Pan Binlong's first work scheduled to be broadcast after winning the star diamond championship in the variety show "I Am an Actor 3". On March 6, the day he won the championship, it coincided with the box office of "Hello, Li Huanying" directed by his friend Jia Ling, which exceeded 5 billion yuan at the box office and ranked second in the box office list of Chinese film history. That night, Jia Ling sent a microblog to send blessings to Pan Binlong, "Male Pan and female Xiaofei have achieved impressive results today. The title of champion, you have always been in my heart! Pan Binlong also excitedly left a message: "We can all get better and better." ”

"I am very grateful for the recognition of this champion, which is a recognition of my past efforts." Hot searches and topics are fleeting, but Pan Binlong's mentality is quite peaceful, he recalled the situation after his first appearance on CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2008: "I got off the stage at that time and received a call from my mother, she told me that the Spring Festival Gala has passed, from this moment on it is an honor that belongs to yesterday, and then you still have to start from scratch to struggle." "Time goes back to his childhood, and it is also his mother who chose the violin for him, which became the key to his future enlistment as a soldier and was transferred to the military performance team."
Pan Binlong served in the army for 7 years, rehearsed plays, acted in skits, sang allegro, and won awards many times in the programs he participated in. It was also in the army that he was exposed to acting for the first time, and the trajectory of his life was once again changed.

"I remember that the first sketch I played, "Before Leaving the Team", was led by a director of the Taiyuan Repertory Theatre named Fei Shaobo, and now the director has passed away." In Pan Binlong's recollection, it is the "black history" that makes him remember vividly, and it is also the "gold finger" that helped him become enlightened: "A total of 4 pages of sketches, the first half of the page was lined up for two days, and I walked more than 20 times on the stage to practice walking, so I couldn't perform well, because I felt very embarrassed on stage." The director was particularly dissatisfied, he was in his 60s at the time and I was in my 20s. He called me the second brother, 'Second brother, can you do it?' Second brother, will you go? Then he called all the female soldiers to the stage, and everyone watched me jump and jump on the stage and laugh for 20 minutes. At first, I felt particularly ashamed, but after 'tearing my face' like this, I felt as if I had an epiphany and began to enjoy the fun of performing on stage. ”
To this day, Pan Binlong still remembers this experience: "After tasting the fun from acting, I found that I may not be able to do anything else in my life." How fortunate should a person be able to find such a beloved thing in a short period of decades and strive for it as a career for the rest of his life? ””
"I don't think I have any treasure in my body, and if I have to say that I have anything to look forward to discovering, then I have many, many possibilities." Pan Binlong said that he is not a person with high talent and wisdom, and he is always a passive "waist actor" in the show business circle. So he is always more eager to fight for every opportunity to perform, and even went through the stage of taking over any work as long as the time is right.
Pan Binlong won "I Am an Actor 3" "Star Diamond Championship"
After the end of "I Am an Actor 3", he was pleased to find that in addition to comedy, many excellent projects took the initiative to invite him, and he also felt that he had more confidence to pursue a more quality and quantity of work. "I still have the teenager I once was without the slightest change." Talking about the rise, he couldn't help but sing with his singing voice as enthusiastic as ever for the performance.
The reporter asked him, have you imagined yourself like "Toshitoko" who became popular overnight by chance? Pan Binlong shook his head and said seriously: "Of course, this is a very good thing, indicating that as long as you don't forget your original intention and hone your acting skills, this era will give people who focus on performance the opportunity to show them and let them be seen by more people." And I may be more suitable for taking every step down-to-earth, I will prove to everyone that as long as I am given the opportunity to challenge, I can interpret various roles and show a variety of different wonderful 'Big Pan'! ”
