The name Qi Jiuzhou may not be familiar to the audience, after all, he is a young actor after 85. Many places in the film and television circle are still in the learning stage, but this big boy who looks thick and is actually a little poor has slowly revealed a different trait from other actors. He has not yet played the absolute male number one, but his solid acting skills have been able to make the role he plays very full; he is a person who grew up in the entertainment industry, but he does not like to be polluted by the entertainment industry the most, thinking that concentrating on acting is the fundamental; he has a lot of background, but he always works hard in his own way and is unwilling to be favored; his acting road starts late, walks slowly, but step by step, moving forward steadily, only for himself.
Five hours before the interview began, I was notified to interview a new person. There is not much news about him on the Internet, let alone any eye-catching news points, and it is difficult to write eye-catching headlines and wonderful articles. Just when I dialed his phone right away, I was still beating drums in my heart, and I didn't know if the simple interview outline done in these 5 hours was enough for the content of an article. With this feeling, he dialed Qi Jiuzhou's phone.
The twenty-minute interview went from being unfamiliar with each other to being unfinished, and I got to know Qi Jiuzhou from a new perspective. Plain, sincere, and speaking with a little humor. When I talk about my cooperation with my predecessors, I always have a grateful heart. When talking about his feelings about the entertainment industry, he just said, "It should be sincere, and it is better to be simple." "I don't fully appreciate the impetuosity of a newcomer.
Recently, a TV series starring Chen Xiaoyi and Qi Jiuzhou, "Me and My Them", is being broadcast on TV. Chen Xiaoyi and Qi Jiuzhou staged a visible and untouchable sister-brother relationship, making the audience look anxious. Qi Jiuzhou plays Sanbao, and in order to repay the favor, he slowly develops feelings for Ye Zi, played by Chen Xiaoyi. The age difference between the two in the play is very large. In real life, the difference between the two is nearly 20 years. Speaking of this New Year's Love, Qi Jiuzhou felt very funny at first, and after really performing, he was fully immersed in the role. Under the guidance and help of Chen Xiaoyi, Qi Jiuzhou quickly found the feeling of the role.
Q: Chen Xiaoyi and your age difference is so big, it must be very embarrassing when acting, right?
Qi Jiuzhou: At the beginning, it was very embarrassing. I remember that the first scene I shot when I first entered the group was to hold Xiaoyi teacher in a circle. You think we don't know each other, and how embarrassing it is to hold her. Because of this, the night before the shooting started, I hardly slept all night. Unexpectedly, the next day, Xiaoyi teacher naturally greeted me, played with me, and discussed with me how to hold it more comfortably, and the picture looked better. When filming, Xiaoyi teacher took a step forward, and I picked her up, which was not difficult at all, nor was it very embarrassing.
Q: Xiaoyi teacher is still taking good care of you, a step will make you a lot easier. So, as your senior, did she give you some acting advice?
Qi Jiuzhou: Teacher Xiaoyi really took good care of me and was very supportive of me. There was a scene where the director felt that I was not acting seriously, and I was shooting with a giggle. Teacher Xiaoyi also spoke to the director for me. Xiaoyi teacher thinks that I am not not serious, and the hip-hop performance can also be very sincere, and fully interprets my role with this feeling of hip-hop and a little poor. Because my role is that of a taxi driver, I should be a little poor.
Q: So, you deliberately made the character a bit poor?
Qi Jiuzhou: Yes, many of the brothers I usually come into contact with are very poor. I find them particularly interesting to talk about, I integrate my personal life experience into the character, and I myself am sometimes very poor, which is also a combination of my own personality into the role. I think any character should have the actor's own personality characteristics and have their own acting attitude. Of course, the director's understanding of the work and the role also has her reasoning, and the director is not wrong.
Q: Is this the first time you and Chen Xiaoyi have worked together?
Qi Jiuzhou: Yes, our first cooperation.
Q: The first time you worked together, why did she support you so much?
Qi Jiuzhou: Xiaoyi teacher is very open to her performance concept and is very willing to give the newcomers room to perform. Many times I would discuss the performance with her when I was playing on the spot, and she was also very willing to listen to my understanding of the role and the play. She treated me like this, added a lot of confidence to my performance, and I am very grateful to her.
Q: After filming so many scenes, are you sure about your performance?
Qi Jiuzhou: I am not completely sure of my performance, but I also slowly build a confidence in my performance. Interpreting more and more roles, more and more experienced, will have a new demand on themselves.
Q: Now many newcomers in the entertainment industry are very anxious, in order to get out of the position will make a lot of tricks, how do you think about this phenomenon, will you do that?
Qi Jiuzhou: Do you mean unspoken rules and hype? In fact, everyone's style of doing things is different, I can't evaluate others, I certainly won't do it myself, in fact, it's better to be simple. Down-to-earth filming is what I should do now, sincerely treat every role I play, and present the works that are worthy of the audience, which is my requirement.
