Following "Crazy", domestic dramas ushered in a masterpiece.
Recently, "Long Season" directed by "Hidden Corner" director Xin Shuang and starring Fan Wei, Qin Hao and Chen Minghao ushered in the end, and the Douban score rose all the way from 9.1 to 9.5, becoming the highest-rated suspense work in the past five years.
Ah Liang praised it as a "suspense drama ceiling", no one objected, right?
【1】
Qin Hao initially refused to act
But in fact, Qin Hao refused to play "Gong Biao" at first.
In an interview with Tencent News Guyu Lab, Qin Hao mentioned several reasons. First, at that time, he already had invitations to six or seven plays, and the schedule was not available; Second, about suspense stories, he has already interpreted too much and does not want to repeat them; Third, at this stage, he wants to play some life-oriented roles and portray ordinary people and things around him.
Director Xin Shuang, producer Lu Jing, and casting director Li Junting are the three musketeers who went to Hengdian to lobby Qin Hao to shoot "Hidden Corner", and this time ran to Qingdao to find Qin Hao.
Xin Shuang said very directly and sincerely, this drama is about the life of his father's generation. Quite regrettably, at the time of Xinxin's preparation for the play "Long Season", his father died of illness.
In this way, out of trust in his friends and director, Qin Hao directly pushed off the six or seven drama contracts, and without reading the script, he answered that Xin Shuang would star.
To be honest, if he hadn't seen the starring list of "The Long Season", it would be difficult for Ah Liang to associate the role of "Gong Biao" with Qin Hao in the first place.
Open jacket lined with a yellow polo shirt. The head of the chicken nest is three or seven, the face is shiny and acne marks, the rosacea, and the beer belly with a big belly.
In order to play this role, Qin Hao overeat, gained more than 20 pounds, and achieved the highest weight achievement of 160 pounds in life. His wife Yi Nengjing was surprised to see him, how did he become fat like this?
After that, after filming the Republic of China spy war drama "Harbin 1944", director Zhang Li said very tactfully that during this period, everyone could not eat rice, and there were few fat people. Qin Hao instantly understood and spent another 2 weeks to lose 20 pounds.
Reading the Qin Hao weight loss recipe posted by Yi Nengjing, Ah Liang sighed that Qin Hao's perseverance was too strong, and advised everyone not to imitate, this method is too extreme.
Back to the creation of The Long Season.
For the appearance of Gong Biao's character, Qin Hao tried it out little by little.
First a little fatter, then a little thinner, a little flatter face, finally a little more pit, a little worse wine nose, and finally came out such a face that can be seen everywhere in the northeast, an image of a taxi driver who has been smoothed by life and is not sparing.
Gong Biao, as his name suggests, has a strong energy, he understands human feelings and lectures on morality.
Eighteen years ago, he was a college student at a state-owned factory in Northeast China, and his future was bright. When people reach middle age, the once handsome guy has become a greasy man with a mouth full of running trains and bragging, and the sense of déjà vu of the city residents can be seen in his gestures, "liking the smell of disinfectant water" is his only remaining pride and decency, but insulin and big belly have exposed his chicken feathers of life.
Ah Liang took the scene where Gong Biao and Huang Liru watched a movie together as an example.
Huang Liru: "Who is Freud?" ”
Gong Biao: "Freud was a scholar who studied dreams. ”
Huang Liru: "Did he divide the room?" ”
Gong Biao: "That's no, he's not from our factory." ”
Huang Liru: "This piece is quite romantic, but it's a little shaky and confused." I see this actor still looks a little like you. ”
Gong Biao: "What's so beautiful, the two old men are claming chrysalis on it." ”
The first product of the lines is very high-grade, and when it is retasted, it is very life-like. The key to his two movies is "Spring Breeze Drunken Night" starring Qin Hao, both inside and outside the screen, suddenly dreaming, suddenly reality, such a linkage, laughing fruit is natural and interesting.
"Spring Breeze Drunken Night" is very suitable to put this, Xin Shuang has confidence and confidence, on the contrary, Qin Hao's sense of trust in Xin Shuang.
And Qin Hao will sacrifice himself so much (gain 20 pounds), another very important reason is that he saw his younger self in the role of "Gong Biao", the same poor and screwed.

When he was young, Qin Hao was as poor as Gong Biao
Qin Hao's Chinese opera class 96, casually brought out a few classmates are gods, Zhang Ziyi, Liu Ye, Yuan Quan, Qin Hailu, Mei Ting... One big name at a time.
Most of the students began to frequently take on the drama in their freshman and second year, especially Zhang Ziyi and Liu Ye, who had already won the honors of film queen and actor before graduation, and Yuan Quan, Qin Hailu, Mei Ting and others also had their own representative roles.
But Qin Hao and their encounters were different. During school, in order to show his determination to study quietly and never go out to take on the play, he deliberately shaved his head.
This is not enough, there is an assistant director who came to the school to take pictures of them and said to go out and help them send them to various crews.
Qin Hao, who was a tendon, was "opposed" at that time, he said that he came to learn acting, and if he hasn't learned anything now, he won't take photos, and he doesn't want his photos to be spread everywhere.
In 2002, the first year after Qin Hao graduated from Chinese opera, he pushed off 8 plays; Then the following year he pushed off 3 more plays; In the third year, an occasional phone call asked him "Are you still filming", which made Qin Hao feel lost and almost lost confidence in his movie dream.
Frequently pushing plays, not because he does not love acting, Qin Hao has his own principles of picking plays from beginning to end, that is, he only picks qualified works in his eyes.
Fortunately, he quickly waited for Wang Xiaoshuai's movie "Qinghong". Because of a disco dance in the film, he walked on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, and this experience made Qin Hao more determined to make literary films, dreaming of becoming a Cannes actor one day.
Wang Xiaoshuai laughed on the side, "Feel this atmosphere well, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to come again in the future."
Unexpectedly, Qin Hao waited for 4 years.
In 2009, Qin Hao played a bohemian gay man Jiang Cheng in the movie "Spring Breeze Drunken Night" directed by Lou Ye.
Jiang Cheng's helplessness, amorousness, desire, and depth in the relationship but can't stop being seen by Qin Hao are vividly expressed, just like the sentence at the end of the film, "It's not love dust, it seems to be mistaken by the dust, and the flowers bloom from time to time."
Since then, Qin Hao has embarked on the road of literary films.
"Rizhao Chongqing", "Floating City Mystery", "Tuina", "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind", all of them are their favorites, and every year they either go to the Cannes Film Festival or the Berlin Film Festival.
Compared with many classmates who graduated at the same time, Qin Hao is "shabby" materially, earns very little money, drinks some beer every day with some poor friends, and brags. But Qin Hao in the past few years has been happy, free, and pure spiritually. As he imagined when he graduated, he didn't make good movies, like Gong Biao, he picked and chose and vowed to be a noble artist.
"After 500 years, no one remembers the name of today's so-called richest man, but today's good poem and a good movie can be passed down for a long time, and I hope I can act in some movies that can leave something for future generations."

Qin Hao, who gradually reconciled with the outside world
In an interview with Tencent News Guyu Lab, Qin Hao is also very frank, happily shooting literary films for 6 years, and his inner troubles and twists gradually emerged, especially when he was married, had children, and his parents were aging.
First, there are fewer and fewer good scripts, and the directors who share their hearts except Wang Xiaoshuai, Lou Ye, cannot find new works to express.
Second, 4 Cannes, 1 Berlin, 1 Golden Horse, the works have been shortlisted many times, but in the end they all missed the "actor" and did not have the opportunity to say what they thought.
Third, although it is a little famous in the circle of literary films, it is still unfamiliar to the public, lacking sufficient exposure and potential opportunities for fame, so that when asked why he is so liked by literary film directors, he has to ridicule himself as a "cheap" actor.
With these concerns, Qin Hao began to try to change.
He signed the contract under the banner of Wang Jinghua, a well-known mainland agent, and starred in several commercial films and rushed to various events, which he described as a period of drift and loss. Although he made some money, he deviated from his original intention, and none of them satisfied him, and he didn't even have the mind to take a look.
He tried to let go of himself again, no longer limited to the field of film, and quietly asked in the circle of friends, is it feasible to show his face on the small screen? Zhou Xun left a message "You can shoot".
With Zhou Xun's encouragement, Qin Hao began to reconcile with Screwba's character and establish contact with the outside world step by step. "This is an era where content is king, and you can't limit yourself to the big screen or the small screen, as long as the stuff is good enough."
Qin Hao attributed these changes to his fatherhood and age.
He took over the online dramas "Evidence of Innocence", "Sea of Sand" and "Hidden Corner".
In particular, "Hidden Corner", the sentence "Do you climb the mountain together" directly sent him to the audience, "Do you see if I still have a chance" is still a powerful "threat" when ridiculed among friends;
The image of taking off a wig in the bathroom and staring at yourself in the mirror became a lingering nightmare for the audience.
In addition, he also made quick money from variety shows. He has appeared in popular variety shows such as "Sound Immersion 2", "I am the Peak Showdown of Actors", "Spit Conference", "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" and "Extreme Challenge".
Even, he has a new expansion in the field of music, announcing that he and Yi Nengjing will join Modern Sky as a "music partner", and will participate in performances such as the Strawberry Music Festival in the future.
Earlier, the agent who took Qin Hao said to him, "Qin Hao, don't worry, after the age of 40 is your world." ”
Now 44-year-old Qin Hao, in the process of integrating with the outside world, he has spread himself more and more, no longer screwed, and began to establish human relations.
In choosing the direction of works/characters, he is no longer keen on the ambiguous and marginal roles he was obsessed with when he was young, he wants to play those people around him who can really be seen often in life, with fireworks, such as Gong Biao in "The Long Season".
In Gong Biao's body, it is engraved that Northeasterners generally have an optimistic spirit, obviously they are so embarrassed, but he is still very poor, and he has no heart and lungs to chat and talk with others. But he is not the kind of lazy person in the real sense, in order to survive, Gong Biao raises pigeons, buys car logos, tosses hard, and never lies flat lazy.

I want to make a scene for the world to see
After the fire of "Hidden Corner", Lou Ye said something that made Qin Haobi happy to win the actor,
"Thank you for contributing to Chinese art films, because you went to act in an online drama, and everyone paid attention to this online drama, and then went to turn over your other previous works. The audience learned that there were such movies in China before, and there were still a group of people doing such things. ”
Using acting skills to embrace traffic, in this area, Qin Hao achieved a win-win situation.
Talking about future planning, Qin Hao and the reporter of Tencent News Guyu Lab handed over his heart, he wants to make Hollywood movies, wants to cooperate with many directors, wants to make many types of dramas that he has not acted in, and plays interesting roles. He hopes that he can have works like "Squid Game" and be seen and liked by the world.
In this regard, Ah Liang sincerely believed in and blessed him.
