Nandu News Reporter Cai Liyi Intern Yu Xin TVB "Golden Green Leaf" Ao Jianian left the nest at the beginning of last year, after more than half a year he returned to TVB, won the appreciation of gold medal producer Pan Jiade, stayed up for the first time in the TVB new drama "Absurd Theater Troupe", partnered with Zheng Danrui, who has rarely performed in front of the screen in recent years, and Jiang Jiamin, who played the female lead for the first time, formed the "Absurd Theater Troupe Seven" in the play, and woven a set of Hong Kong opera "Absurd Theater Troupe" full of bold and alternative ideas.
Ao Jianian made his first time as a male lead in a TVB drama.
Ao Jianian filmed the first TV series after entering the industry in 1999, from small roles to supporting actors, he spent ten years, with the blockbuster Hong Kong drama "Towel Gangster" in the big villain loser boy "Jiang Biwen" and "Towel Gangster Hero's Righteous Sea Pride" in the tragic and pitiful "Rib Boy" was well known, popularity once soared, acting skills won the public recognition, and won the "Leap Forward Male Artist" award in the TVB Thousand Stars Awards Ceremony, and twice shortlisted for the "Best Supporting Actor" top five.
Because of his fame as a loser boy, an anti-bone boy and other adulterous characters, he has played many roles of the same type since then, and over time the drama path has been fixed, and the development has fallen into a bottleneck. In order to seek diversified development opportunities, Ao Jianian left the nest last year and shifted his work direction to stage drama musicals. The world is full of feasts, good to come and go is the common sentiment of people, the so-called landscape has met, yesterday's departure is today's better return.
Recently, Nandu reporter interviewed Ao Jianian by video, and he talked about the feelings of the first male protagonist of the nest, the alternative challenges brought by the new role, and the sense of faith that has not extinguished the "fire in the heart" after many years of training in the show business circle.

New alternative "stepping on the boundary"
Shaping the "New Ao Carnival"
As the first drama to return to TVB and take on the role of the male lead, this drama is of great significance to Ao Jianian, "When TVB called me and let me be the male protagonist of "Absurd Theater Troupe", I was very grateful in my heart and meant a lot to me. So I put a lot of thought into it, during the script writing, we actors will read the script together, give advice, and some very new things in the plot are very attractive to me. ”
"Absurd Drama Troupe" is a short drama with an alternative theme, with a rare black humor element on the market, adding a lot of imaginative bridges, "challenging the boundaries of Hong Kong opera with a bold and crazy plot", the play also contains some metaphors for the entertainment industry, Ao Jianian said: "This drama is a genre that I have never tried, the plot has many wonderful places, rarely see this kind of script in Hong Kong television, especially when there is a 'stepping on the boundary' plot, we will be very careful when shooting." It will put a lot of realistic stories in the entertainment industry, both in front of and behind the scenes colleagues will feel very empathetic to some of the plots in the play, after filming we ourselves want to see the film quickly, I think in addition to the audience, our peers will also be very much looking forward to this play. Not only is the theme novel, Ao Jianian said that he has created a "new Ao Jianian" in terms of character modeling and dialogue actions, which is quite different from the past "Jiang Dashao" and "Rib Boy".
The behind-the-scenes team is bold in style
Collide with different fireworks
A good drama is inseparable from a group of powerful actors, and it is inseparable from the professional team behind the scenes, and strong and strong can only rub out new sparks. When mentioning director Tang Haojun, Ao Jianian frankly said: "He is the first time I came into contact with a more alternative TVB director, his ideas are very special, we are willing to try to jump out of the box when shooting, follow his ideas to try." ”
Another focus of "Absurd Theatre Company" is that TVB has found pan jia tak, a gold medal producer who has produced classic Hong Kong dramas such as "Criminal Investigation Files", "Forensic Records", "Rushing into the Sky", "OnCall 36 Hours", which is his new work after two years of retirement. Pan Jiade's dramas have always had a rating guarantee, he is bold in his style of shooting, likes to give different actors opportunities, and there are countless artists who are popular, such as Gu Tianle, Xuan Xuan, Ma Guoming, Huang Zhiwen and so on. "De Ge" came out of the mountain again, which made a group of Hong Kong opera fans excited. To a certain extent, Ao Jianian can "rise" TVB male protagonist, but also from Pan Jiade. Ao Jianian said: "I knew him as soon as I entered the industry, and I didn't cooperate in a play until he retired, and it was a great honor to cooperate for the second time this time." He would be with us every time we shot, even if it was two or three o'clock in the morning, he would sit there with us, silently support us, and be a good producer. ”
Talking about starring on the same stage with Zheng Danrui, Ao Jianian also said that he was honored, "He is a very senior senior, a top actor, he will put forward a lot of opinions when we shoot, but he will be very funny to make everyone relaxed, and the opinions he gives make the play "Absurd Theater Company" more brilliant. ”
The heroine Jiang Jiamin is also the first time in 13 years as a TVB female number one, this time she plays a film screenwriter who looks at people in a micro, with a little cool taste, and Ao Jianian has a light as water emotional line. Speaking of partners, Ao Jianian bluntly said that she is a very hard-working girl, "She will carefully review everything in every scene, the position will be marked, and often ask my opinion, we will study the role together, and sometimes we will choose some music together to match the plot." This is a big leap forward for her, and I hope you will see a new spark between us. ”
The new drama role is like "once Ao Jianian"
It is difficult to control the tears of the boy
"Absurd Theater Company" shows a group of frustrated people in the film, in talking about his more than twenty years in the show business circle, Ao Jianian said that he can empathize with the encounters and moods of the role, one of the scenes made him into the play very deeply, the director he played was repeatedly rejected in the play, the career has not been smooth, this feeling often happens in his real life, "There is a scene that is very profound, I as a director, to sell bridges to the film company, I make all the preparations, tell how my film wants to be made, Others refuse to do it, and that feeling makes me feel immersed, because I've tried to be laughed at and said all day that your stuff doesn't work, you might as well just go. I started crying after I was out of the camera, and the feeling was so real that I couldn't control myself. ”
Now he is fortunate that he has not abandoned or given up, even if he is ridiculed and denied, he also strengthens his sense of faith in performance. "Over the years, this kind of thing has happened, and I will numb myself at first, but then I think, it is better to replace this kind of thinking with a kind of mindfulness, so that I can continue to fight." Because as soon as you stop, the fire in your heart will go out. Ao Jianian is convinced that the fire in his heart has not been extinguished, "I try to do my best in every scene and every dialogue, not seeking perfection, but seeking to be worthy of myself." ”
Returning to TVB this time, Ao Jianian saw that TVB has made many bold attempts in TV dramas and variety shows, and what the creators pursue is in line with the trend of the times, Ao Jianian said that this transformation is very gratifying, which can bring actors more novel scripts and more different role experiences. Nowadays, the film and television cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has become closer, attracting TVB actors to cooperate and exchange with performers in the mainland and the Bay Area, Ao Jianian said: "It is very good to be able to communicate with the Greater Bay Area, and I also have new plans for stage plays, films and co-productions, and I also have the opportunity to cooperate with the mainland." When the epidemic is over, all of our orchestrators will go to the mainland, which is a very good opportunity and I am looking forward to it. ”
It is reported that the alternative and innovative style of "Absurd Theater Troupe" will be launched on TVB's myTVsuper on April 16, and premiered on the same day in the buried APP and OTT TV zone in the mainland.
