Xie Qijun as Zhao Qixian
Xie Qijun filmed the horse riding scene
Directed by famous director Lai Shuiqing and starring Han Dong, Wei Qianxiang, Xie Qijun and Zhang Meng, the new version of "Deer Ding" will simultaneously land on the golden file of Anhui, Sichuan and Yunnan on December 20. This edition of "Deer Ding" tells the story of how Wei Xiaobao grew up and eventually returned to the hidden rivers and lakes. In addition to retaining the classic plot in previous versions, the elements of "love" and "officialdom" have been greatly enriched, and the portrayal of characters has also been expanded. It is worth mentioning that this version of "Deer Ding" is based on the latest version of Jin Yong's revised novel in 2005, which strengthens Wei Xiaobao's love scene and adds a lot of plots of officialdom and court struggles.
Xie Qijun, a Taiwanese actor who has starred in many popular dramas such as "Every Day Youxi" and "The Tang Dynasty Women's Patrol", plays Zhao Qixian in the new version of "Deer Ding", he can write and fight, and serves around Kangxi. Although he has filmed many costume plays, xie Qijun has played roles that are both good and evil, or upright gentlemen or treacherous villains, and there are few such roles of elves and ghosts. Therefore, he also paid extra attention to doing his homework before filming, not only reading the original, but also revisiting several other editions of "Deer Ding", painstakingly. Not only that, due to the needs of the plot, Zhao Qixian needs to ride a horse in the play, and Xie Qidu, who is not good at riding, makes the play more realistic, gives up the opportunity to use a stand-in, and practices horseback riding after shooting, and he can only master simple riding skills when temporarily holding the Buddha's feet, but when filming a fighting and chasing riding scene, due to the lack of skill in controlling the horses, Xie Qijun almost flipped over from the running horse, just at the moment of a thousand gunshots, Xie Qijun tried to master the balance of the body, pull the reins, and control the horse. This shooting also made him feel more about the horses, and the subsequent shooting was successfully completed.
Because he is a professional in opera, Xie Qijun is more favored by costume drama directors and shoots more costume TV series, while he himself prefers fashion dramas. He laughed and said: When shooting fashion scenes, you don't have to consider the background of the times, you don't have to chew lines strictly, and you can have more room for the role.
