Dong Siyi, who played Duan Jiabao in "Twenty Not Confused", used the "positive drama face" to describe her boyfriend in the play, "Big Bear" Xu Shaoying. In Dong Siyi's impression, Xu Shaoying was particularly positive, chatting with him, "as if he wanted to arrest you and arrest you." ”
This description is in line with his role in the previous play. Before the launch of "Twenty Not Confused", the TV series "Trident" starring Xu Shaoying ended less than a month later, in which he played a fledgling little police officer Xiao Lu. In the play, Xiao Lu is sometimes humble and sometimes witty, and with the help of Chen Jianbin, Dong Yong and Hao Ping, the performance is very outstanding.
This role is accompanied by the role of Ye Qingti in "Three Lives and Three Pillow Books" at the beginning of the year, so that Xu Shaoying suddenly has two masterpieces that the audience can call names. When he appeared in "Twenty Not Confused", many people in the barrage called him "Xiao Lu" or "General Ye", which showed that his role had been remembered by some viewers.
Xu Shaoying herself is indeed as Described by Dong Siyi. He was born in Beijing after 95, and he spoke with a rich Beijing accent, a thick voice, and a sense of righteousness.
He prefers realistic themes, does not know that "Three Lives and Three Pillow Books" is a big IP, and does not understand the meaning of "IP". He called Ye Qingti's spell "Send a Wave", and the words were all permeated with some jerkiness in the face of fantasy themes, but this did not prevent him from being willing to continue to try similar types of works.
Since entering the industry, Xu Shaoying's resume is "clean", his debut work is "Tiansheng Long Song", and the dramas to be broadcast include "Qipao Beauty Detective", "People's Property", "Nan Yan Zhai Record" and so on, regardless of the size of the role, at least the team is very sophisticated. He especially hopes to act in more works like "Trident" when he is young, and before the age of thirty or thirty-five, "follow these excellent predecessors to learn and enrich themselves." ”
As for whether to play the main role, whether to play the male lead, male second or male n, in Xu Shaoying's view, it is not the most important. He doesn't force this.
01
According to the function, Xu Shaoying's duan jiabao boyfriend and chef Xiong Zhi in "Twenty Not Confused" is not a major role. In the story that focuses on the adolescent troubles and growth confusion of four female college students, he is actually responsible for adding color to the protagonist's love.
Although the role is not heavy, "Twenty Not Confused" is Xu Shaoying's first drama to shoot with his peers, before he partnered with some old drama bones or actors who are older than him, this time with a group of peers, it is rare to let him have a more relaxed feeling.
Xu Shaoying commented that he was a relatively uninteresting person, and like Big Bear, he longed for a down-to-earth and stable life, and at this point, the two of them were still very similar. "Because each of our actors, including my current stage, must still find a similar place to play the role, and our current professional ability has not reached a state where we want to act to create a particularly perfect state, and we must still say that we can stick to ourselves, including his lifestyle and so on."
He and Big Bear are of course different, for example, in the treatment of girls, the two of them are "completely different". The big bear in the play is particularly warm, and the treatment of Duan Jiabao can be called "pampering level ten", Xu Shaoying joked that the big bear may be slightly pretentious.
"But I didn't have that myself..."
"That means you're probably a straighter man of steel?"
"I certainly don't think so myself, but others may think so." I think the difference between him and big bear is that there is no interest in his personality, and he is more rough in his bones than "temperament".
Big Bear is the first role that Xu Shaoying broadcasts that is closer to most ordinary people, and before he was involved, he was involved in fantasy and public security themes, and his profession was general and policeman, and there were some contradictions and conflicts in his body. Big Bear is partial to life, and the only contradiction is that his father disagrees with him on career planning.
"His father is also a chef, he doesn't want his son to repeat his mistakes, Big Bear has such a good job as Tencent, but he quit this job and became a chef, and he didn't dare let his father find out." Finally, there is a process of reconciliation between the two fathers and sons. "Big Bear is not such an extreme character, and for Xu Shaoying, it is relatively not particularly difficult to portray.
His last difficult character was Xiao Lu in Trident. Some netizens said, "It is not easy to play the stupid in front of the old cannon than the newcomer", which is to say that he plays Xiao Lu.
But Xu Shaoying actually didn't think that she had handled that stupid and clever measure very well.
"When I was playing this role, I changed my own attitude towards the three teachers to Xiao Lu, that is, the relationship between me and the three teachers, in fact, the relationship between Xiao Lu and the three masters, which was particularly helpful to me in shaping the role. I just need to be in front of the three of them, try not to be nervous, try to relax, more is to be down-to-earth, to receive their messages when performing. ”
Xu Shaoying is not a person who is 100% confident in himself, and when he plays "Trident", he will have some worries, "To put it bluntly, he is worried that he will not act well." "Working with the three seniors, he was a little bit stressed at the beginning, but he wasn't so nervous when acting." Teacher Chen Jianbin is also a graduate of our school, and he often talks about things in school, which makes me feel at ease. ”

After filming "Trident", Xu Shaoying's biggest feeling is that this kind of work is what he really wants to shoot. For the pressure of peers, "to be honest, it's not completely uncomfortable, it just doesn't feel so anxious." ”
Xu Shaoying is very frank, he bluntly said that because he was born in Beijing, he may not have so much pressure on the house, so at this stage, he still wants to enrich his profession more. "Don't ask for a lot of drama, Xiao Lu's role gives him more room for growth."
His first drama was "Tiansheng Long Song", partnered with Yi Shui'er's acting school, and others such as "Glorious Era", "People's Property", "Trident" and so on, are also full of old drama bones. It can be said that Xu Shaoying's acting experience was trained in such a group of actors, and such experience undoubtedly affected him.
"For acting, I'm more in a learning process right now. Although we have been studying undergraduate science in college for four years, many of them are limited to school, or drama stage things, and after graduation, we come out to practice, and more to learn is film and television, including some acting skills. ”
He can learn a lot of these skills from his predecessors he has worked with, such as how they deal with lines and how to deal with characters. "Including peers, many of them also have their own ... It's kind of a trick, it's worth learning. ”
According to xu Shaoying's list of works, it is not difficult to think that he should be an actor who cherishes feathers. Hearing this conclusion, Xu Shaoying first asked the staff on the phone "what is the feather", and then made a "clarification", "OK, I don't pick, I don't think I have the qualifications to pick." "The so-called fine products of the ministry are the result of his consultation with everyone.
"It's me and our team, everyone goes to communicate together, for example, whether to choose this play or not, we will all discuss." Scripts, characters, sometimes what you like, others may not agree, when listening to the team talk about different ideas, there will be a lot of gains. ”
In the choice of script and role, Xu Shaoying actually does not have a particularly clear standard, whether it is a character with personality tension or a common neighbor character, he is willing to try.
After all, there are no small roles, only small actors, and the industry is most fortunate to be able to experience different lives through works. Being able to try different types of roles is what he is most looking forward to at this stage.

It can be seen that Xu Shaoying's stability and steadfastness are not only reflected in his personality, but also in his attitude towards the acting career. He is not in a hurry, not greedy and adventurous, and only slowly polishes himself in one work after another.
The cultivation of his character is also due to some influence from the university.
"College meant a particularly important turning point in my life, really a particularly important turning point, because if I hadn't been in the middle of the play, I might have had a completely different life and a different personality."
In Xu Shaoying's own words, when he was in college, he "especially loved the stage." In school, he rehearsed a lot of large and small Chinese and foreign classic scripts, "What impressed us more deeply was that we did a Japanese classic movie called "Kaiyama Festival Examination" at that time, which was actually the first time we adapted it into a complete drama in China. ”
When he first graduated, he wanted to take the path of drama, but for some reason, he could not get into a drama troupe that he particularly wanted to go to. Although this was a blow to Xu Shaoying at that time, it would not delay his love for drama.
"Because I have accumulated a lot of acting experience by shooting film and television now, I will become more and more mature and better, and one day, I will still return to the stage I yearn for."
If it is possible, Xu Shaoying hopes to do the stage and do film and television in the future, he has not given up the drama, but said that he will come slowly and step by step.
Going to school, graduating, and becoming an actor, Xu Shaoying's mentality has always been stable, and this stability does not mean how mature his psychological age is, but he knows very well what he wants most, what he should do, and what kind of short-term goals he should achieve. This affects a lot of his choices and the way he does things, so he appears to be mature.
After work, he is also like a big boy after 95, he likes to party with his buddies, drink a drink, play ball, and get fit. He also particularly enjoys collecting Marvel models.
But sometimes, Xu Shaoying's thinking is indeed like a 30+ adult. The reporter asked him whether he belonged to the life type or the career type, and he did not hesitate to answer that he was more life-oriented, knew that making money "should be done", and was already planning to save money for parents and future wives and children.
For the future work-life ratio, he also has to measure it according to the situation of his parents and other half. "You're alive as soon as you're alive, what are you for?" You have to be your family and friends, right? ”
However, these things Xu Shaoying is still not good, he feels that "or slowly to get it, take one step at a time to see first." "Now what he can determine is that he wants to play more low-level, real characters, or realist works with character tension."
And, the realization of the desire to "become a real actor".
"I don't think I'm a real actor yet, and as I get older, as I try, hopefully one day I'll be able to say the words 'I'm an actor.'"
Xu Shaoying does not seek to become an actor, he only wants to be worthy of the word "actor".
