An zehao won the award
Stills from the TV series "Poison Fangs"
An Zehao came to the art stage from Lanzhou. His name, to the audience, may be a little strange. However, look at the roles he plays, the small film police Ma Wu in the police gangster movie "Gun Crossing", Lin Xiaohai, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in the anti-special drama "Dark War Storm", the military master Ha Mixuan in "Jingzhong Yue Fei", the third son-in-law Jiang Hanping in the emotional drama "Brother with a Foreign Name", the writer Dialect in "Gentle Betrayal", and the piano teacher Ouyang Yifeng in "Gentle Lies"... You will find that he has been active on screen and screen for more than twenty years, and is the familiar stranger next to us.
In the play, An Zehao has fought, fought fiercely, tangled, hardened, cowardly, greedy, rejoiced, and saddened; outside the play, An Zehao has been low-key and indifferent. A few days ago, in an interview with reporters, he said that performances that are not limited to stereotypes and routines are the performance heights that a professional actor must achieve, because although the filming is a film and television drama, the interpretation is spiritual, ideological and deep.

Inadvertently succeeded in counterattacking
An Zehao was born in Lanzhou, grew up in Lanzhou, when he was young, he was sent to the countryside by his father for exercise, and absorbed a lot of life nutrients. In middle school, his grades were neither good nor bad, and he was one of the most mischievous in his class. In his subconscious, there may have been ignorant and fond of acting, but there is basically no real learning. It was not until the year of graduation from high school, after being introduced to the drama school, that his eyes suddenly opened up, and he had clear ideas and pursuits. What is happy is that he entered the Shanghai Theater Academy as soon as he passed the first exam and officially opened his professional road.
It is said that life is like a drama, An Zehao debuted for more than twenty years, often inadvertently counterattacked, and repeatedly won unexpected joys. After graduating from university, he had the honor to enter the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center, which brings together many top actors, and served as an actor, participating in the rehearsal of plays such as "Fishing Eagle", "Dignity" and "Circle". At the same time, he was involved in the film and television industry, and has starred in more than 50 film and television dramas such as "The Great Bathhouse", "Fake Hero", "Rushing Out of the Moon Island", "Competition" and so on, and has been branded as a "powerful faction". Of course, in the roles he played, most of the "villain" characters, until the filming of the police blockbuster "Gun Crossing" in 2014, he played the image of the northwest police officer with a sense of justice for the first time, and as a result, he won the Golden Angel Award for Best New Actor at the 10th Sino-US International Film Festival; in 2015, with the death-defying competition in the TV series "Dark War", he won the Best Actor Award at the Second Sino-US International Television Festival, taking his favorite works out of the country and going to the world.
An Zehao said that art comes from life, and his success comes from the nourishment of life and the accumulation of experience. For example, the filming of "Gun Crossing". In winter, the Ejin Banner drips into ice, and the wind and sand are full of sky, but from the moment you put on the costume, people melt. Although the filming process is very awkward, this kind of embarrassment just creates a kind of strength and gives the play a soul. Coupled with his own experience of living in the northwest, he has a unique advantage in dialect and is very close to the prototype.
Deduce depth and spirit
Looking at the works starring An Zehao, most of them are police bandits, espionage battles, and emotional dramas, most of the themes are serious and heavy, and at the moment when the film that withdraws from the profound ideological connotation and only aggregates stars and perspective effects is popular, it seems small and unique. In this regard, An Zehao insisted and relaxed, "Serious subjects are a type that I prefer, because it has depth, thought, and chewing like noodles." "Under the pressure of the box office, will he give in? An Zehao flatly denied. He believes that while grasping the mainstream works at the box office, we must not deny and forget the traditional themes, because such works have high academic research value.
In the industry, An Zehao' acting skills and subversive style are considered to be unique in his performance style without losing quality, integrating characters and roles, that is, what is the proverbial acting is like. It may not seem easy to do this, but Anzehao believes that this is the most basic requirement, "From school, we have been trained to believe in the role, to believe in the role. Some people can only play a certain type of role, which is a failure case for professional training. Performance is multiple, today I can play the emperor, tomorrow I can play the beggar, this gap is the actor must endure the test. ”
Based on this, An Zehao explored a unique set of casting and performance paths. First of all, playing a "character with shortcomings", because the more contradictory and flawed the character, the more like the real character in life, the more powerful and energetic it will be. Secondly, not playing the same type of character in a row, sometimes playing small people, sometimes playing heroes, sometimes playing positive characters, sometimes playing villains, in short, messy but innovative. Third, in addition to the essential life experience, learning and learning, spend a certain amount of time to imagine and enrich the character image.
Tasting the warmth and coldness of the lives of different characters is the happiest thing for An Zehao to be an actor. There is no end to learning the sea, and there is no end to the art sea, he said, and he will continue to try happily.
Create a 10 billion film industry
Since his debut, An Zehao has been an actor and a film and television producer. Up to now, Shanghai Zunze Film, which was founded by him, has produced and distributed more than 30 film and television works, and the industry and revenue have steadily improved. At the end of 2015, AnZehao made a bold move, cooperating with Shanghai Kuailu Investment Group, combined with the new cross-border innovation concept of "Internet + film + finance", to develop the "8+1 strategy" of the 10 billion film industry and make the best movies for the audience.
The reporter learned that in 2016, An Zehao's first big move was to cooperate with the famous director Lu Chuan to shoot the western police and bandit theme film "Three Thousand Miles", at which time, the wilderness desert wind in Gansu and Qinghai will be ingested into the camera. Their second collaboration, tentatively locked in Nine-Story Demon Tower 2, is expected to win a box office hit with a sophisticated production.
Does shifting the focus to film investment and market operation mean that An zehao will fade out of the acting industry? In this regard, he laughed and said that he would definitely not, his main business is acting, the side business is production, and the balance between the two aspects will be handled perfectly.
Today, An Zehao is still obsessed with performing and is becoming more and more dedicated. When the reporter interviewed, he was rushing to shoot the second part of the TV series "Chinese Criminal Police 803", often leaving early and returning late, and sometimes the end of work had reached five or six o'clock in the morning. He cheered himself up: "The most powerful force in the world is persistence, and everything that is right, as long as you persist, will be successful." ”
