The movie "The Amazing Dad" is in full swing. The film focuses on the father-son relationship under sports competition, describes the son who suffers from illness but has a marathon dream and the father who stubbornly accompanies him in training, which is an inspirational masterpiece that "does not yield to fate and wins himself, but also lets go of obsession and surpasses himself".
Gong Beiyuan plays a marathon coach who leads the male protagonist to a long-distance running event, the outside is cold and the inside is hot, the role interpretation is extremely tense, and Gong Beiyuan once again occupies the audience's attention.
From the heroine of the literary and artistic love film in the early years to the acting school that swept the film festival awards, gong Beiyuan has now ushered in the best moment, extending the professional vitality of the actress infinitely and breaking through the boundaries.
10 years of sprinting career,
The birth of the sassy sports coach
Before "The Amazing Dad", Gong Beiyuan had always wanted to play a sports-related role. She herself was the holder of the Shishi 100-meter sprint and long jump record for 10 years when she was young, and the sweat and tears on the track were not less experienced.
In recent years, sports themes have exploded, and Gong Beiyuan looks more and more itchy. "Filmed "Li Na", filmed "Chinese Women's Volleyball Team", all so good. I can't do women's volleyball, but marathon is particularly suitable for me, and my body shape is just similar to those professional athletes. Talking about "The Great Father", Gong Beiyuan was particularly pleased, which was her long-awaited theme, coupled with a solid script, and soon decided to take over the role of Xia Lu.
Gong Beiyuan recalled her sports career more than once and felt more and more empathy.
The coach Xia Lu, played by her, did not smile when she first appeared on the scene, and in the face of Xiao Erdong's repeated requests, she responded with a cold face, frequently saying harsh words: "If you are sick and go home to treat, don't always run to me" "You can run over others, can you run past yourself?" However, when she saw that Xiao Erdong still insisted on practicing after he was blind, and her father Xiao Daming also stubbornly accompanied her, for her son, her father bowed his body to seek the help of the coach, facing the father and son, Xia Lu was shaken.
In understanding the role, Gong Beiyuan has first-class empathy.
Before entering the group, she collected a lot of information on marathon sports, and also watched the training videos of "Ma Jiajun" that year, trying to find the temperament of the coach. In the end, under Gong Beiyuan's interpretation, Xia Lu perfectly balanced the two points of coldness and tenderness.
"The end of the marathon is to go home safely", which is not only a line in the movie, but also represents her understanding of the role. In the end, when Sholdong reaches the finish line, Xia Lu shows the only smile in the movie. Very light, but especially real.
Enjoy the show,
Constantly challenging screen plasticity
Gong Beiyuan, who entered the industry at a young age, received good praise for "Waiting Alone", which was enshrined as the love bible of the post-80s, and swept the major awards that year and became a hot topic. In "Waiting Alone", Li Jing, played by Gong Beiyuan, under the appearance of a big grin, is the person who has the most delicate taste of love, and the relationship between her and Xia Yu in the film tells the most cruel truth of love, when you can't catch the goddess, behind you may stand a true love waiting silently for you. The phrase "either live well or hurry to die" has become a classic quote. After a long time, Gong Beiyuan was determined to only act in love dramas, and it was more suitable to appear in the camera in a beautiful and glamorous dress.
"Actors are somehow chosen. You may be recognized for acting in a certain genre, and then it is this type of genre that comes to you for a while after that. ”
In order to break the shackles of the self and the stereotype of the outside, Gong Beiyuan consciously searched for refreshing themes and scripts, and has been challenging herself to try various possibilities. Thinking about it carefully, this is not easy for the actor, and when it comes to deciding to subvert the appearance, reshape the image, and play a dimension that has not been dabbled in the past, it will actually face more pressure.
In the past few years, Gong Beiyuan has starred in many costume roles, the ice queen in "Magic City" is really stunning, to the devious and changeable villain in "Fire Like a Song", to the wise and atmospheric master Liu Ruyi in "Ruyi Fangfei", every time the role is pinched, Gong Beiyuan's interpretation is very in place.
In addition to ancient costumes, many real-life themes of the big screen works, but also frequently see the figure of Gong Beiyuan, and the same stage with the drama bones, each other's acting skills. In "I Am Not a Medicine God", she is Cheng Yong's ex-wife Cao Ling (played by Xu Zheng), in "My Motherland and Me", she is Zhang Beijing's (played by Ge You) ex-wife Yuan Rong, in "Pampered", she plays Gao Ming's (played by Yu Hewei) ex-wife Li Meihui, in this regard, "ex-wife renshi" has become a label for Gong Beiyuan at that stage.
Since last year, the film "Hannan Summer" starring Gong Beiyuan has swept through major film festivals at home and abroad and won many awards, including the Best Film Award in the New Generation Unit of the 71st Berlin International Film Festival, the 25th Busan Film Festival winning the Febisi International Film Critics Award, and the 4th Pingyao International Film Festival winning the Fei Mu Honorary And Judging Honorary Award. Previously, the film "Car Forty-Four", directed by Wu Shixian and starring Gong Beiyuan, won the Special Award of the Best Jury of the Venice Film Festival and was selected for the "Film Fortnight" section of the Cannes Film Festival, which can be recognized by the three major international film festivals, which is rare among domestic actors.
In this movie "Hannan Summer" directed by newcomer director Han Shuai, Gong Beiyuan plays two roles, on the one hand, she is Yang Guo's mother, full of charm, glamorous and beautiful, on the other hand, she is also Yang Guo's aunt, messy short hair, ill-fitting overalls, and her face is full of the devastation and difficulty of life.
The film needs to be performed in Wuhan dialect throughout, and Gong Beiyuan has not known anything about the Wuhan dialect before. To this end, she specially began to cut the lines a month in advance, the tail note of the Wuhan dialect with a bend, is the characteristic of the local language, Gong Beiyuan imitated and learned sentence by sentence, and finally "even my son can learn two sentences." She also went to the Wuhan Iron and Steel Factory to observe, wandering around the squares and corners of the city's vegetable markets, slowly observing the city's temperament and the image of women. When it came time to officially start up, Gong Beiyuan often wandered the streets with short hair styles, and was so ordinary that she was overwhelmed by the crowd.
Although there are regrets in this movie, Gong Beiyuan enjoys such a performance state, and can completely sink herself into it, one person and two sides, constantly challenging her own plasticity.
It's the best moment,
It will create more possibilities
After becoming a mother, Gong Beiyuan rested for a period of time in order to better accompany her children. When she came back again, someone asked her in surprise, did you not quit the circle? The questioner did not bring emotion, but Gong Beiyuan could not avoid being heartbroken when he listened.
When talking about this experience, she did not deny calling it her "low tide period". "The profession of an actor, there is always such a time, there is no way." Speaking relaxed, she also thinks that she has a smooth personality, but Gong Beiyuan knows how much patience is needed to cross this river, and how much love and persistence in performance is needed.
Slowly, Gong Beiyuan realized that acting was a job that tested life experience. Although young has advantages, many roles must have certain life experience to play well. For actresses of 30+ 40+, as they age, the range of roles available to choose from is getting narrower and narrower.
She understands that there is not much that can be done for an actor, and it is rare to seize a good opportunity. And if the works they perform can play a greater role and produce certain social significance, it is even more icing on the cake.
At the time of the filming of the movie "I Am Not a Medicine God", she never expected the results after the release, for her, if the film can touch the audience while changing something, even if it is only a slight emotion and cognition, she will feel that "this drama is worth it." ”
This is exactly where Gong Beiyuan's sincerity lies, and it is the most simple and direct way of communicating with the audience.
Recently, Gong Beiyuan has a number of high-quality films to be broadcast. She starred in "Broken Bridge" directed by Li Yu, partnering with Fan Wei. Director Li Yu sometimes let the actors continue to act without shouting to stop, and she and Fan Wei play freely, holding the scale of freedom and professionalism.
In the movie "A Knife to Heaven", Gong Beiyuan partnered with her old classmate Duan Yihong. The two have been friends for many years, and have long been familiar with each other's acting habits, and their cooperation will really consider who the drama is in this scene, without thinking about focusing on themselves.
Her upcoming film and television dramas also include "Dressage", "New Divine Eagle Hero", etc., tv series "Dressage" plays Qin Min, short hair style, refreshing and capable, and Chen He has a lot of opponent plays, and the process of performance also rubs out a lot of surprise sparks. Playing Huang Rong in the TV series "New Eagle Hero", the new interpretation of the classic role is highly anticipated.
Over the years, Gong Beiyuan has not allowed herself to be idle, while adjusting her state and balancing her life by exercising and traveling, she is also steadily exporting high-reputation works. For her, as an actress, the current acting ability and physical state are at their best, the past has been parted, but the future is still infinitely possible.
