Beijing, October 11 (Zhongxin Net) -- During the National Day holiday just past, Lei Jiayin was not idle for a moment, and the movie "Rock Solid" led the National Day file with a box office of more than 900 million.
Although the film was shot four years ago, when it comes to a specific scene, he can vividly describe the details of the time.
When "Rock Solid" was filmed, Lei Jiayin was 35 years old and played the young criminal technology department policeman Su Jianming in the play. In the play, he maneuvered between the two villains of Zheng Gang and Li Zhitian, and outside the play, he was among the actors of the "uncle circle", "walking forward while walking".
Sometimes after filming, it's like a dream
Until the completion of "Rock Solid", Lei Jiayin really had a real feeling that he had really cooperated with director Zhang Yimou.
Before this, he described his state as a little "confused", in this drama-filled crew, it was "walking while walking, shooting and learning." ”
From "Above the Cliff" to "Man Jiang Hong", Lei Jiayin's wonderful performances in both films have made the audience unforgettable, but in fact, "Rock Solid" is his first time playing Director Zhang's play.

In 2018, Lei Jiayin received an invitation to possibly cooperate, and after reading the script on the plane from Shanghai to Beijing, he thought that everyone would chat and greet each other for the first time, but the director and creative team were straight to the point and talked directly about the script.
Being able to play a role in Zhang Yimou's movie is Lei Jiayin's dream since she learned acting, and at this moment more than ten years later, the dream finally shines into reality, "The director said who else will play besides you, I said the director don't say it, I'll come, I'll definitely come." ”
In "Rock Solid", Zheng Gang, vice mayor of Jinjiang City, fights with Li Zhitian, the boss of the hardware group involved in the underworld, involving a series of corruption and criminal and evil incidents. Under the fog, the criminal technology department policeman Su Jianming who was sandwiched between the two was a "pawn crossing the river", but in the process of investigating the case step by step, he became the one who finally "broke the game".

In the description of screenwriter Chen Yu, 27-year-old Su Jianming is a "late young man", due to the identity of "Zheng Gang's adopted son", there is a potential gap and confrontation between him and his parents, in the eyes of Lei Jiayin, Su Jianming's tone is depressed, in the process of "breaking the game", he not only has to try to explore the truth of a series of cases, but also faces pressure from family affection and identity.
In a tidbit of the film, there is a scene in which Lei Jiayin was filmed more than six times, he secretly wiped his tears in the corner alone, and later took the initiative to apply for a retry, presenting a wonderful performance after adjustment, which impressed many audiences.
He remembered that it was a very difficult heavy scene, and the difficult scene in the past impression was to imagine that an impossible thing suddenly happened in life, but in that scene, in just thirty seconds, three impossible things happened to Su Jianming in succession, and with the past performance method, he may not be able to achieve the effect he wants.
"When the director didn't shout the beginning, I was in that role, and I had to cry to feel what the scene should be like. That kind of preparation cannot be rational preparation, that is, to prepare by crying. ”
The moment the movie was finally filmed, Lei Jiayin felt "quite cool": "That kind of refreshment, one is the role and this atmosphere brought to you, and the other is that I finished filming, I made the director's movie, and sometimes it was like a dream." ”
If you want to act well, be a person with a heart
Zhang Guoli, Chen Daoming, Yu Hewei, Xu Yajun... "Rock Solid" gathers many powerful actors, and netizens often joke that Lei Jiayin, who is in it, is like "a husky straying into a wolf pack", he confessed that he had nervousness, but this pressure did not run through the whole filming.
"Because the director is really a person who holds the actor in the palm of his hand and supports you in life, so there is an inexplicable sense of intimacy after contact, although the director does not talk to you about people's feelings, he is focused on working every day, but you can feel very kind, and you will decompress yourself."
Focus is also Lei Jiayin's biggest impression on the set of "Rock Solid".
In the past crew, everyone often lived and acted at the same time, such as talking about what to order at noon and what to eat every day after acting, "but in that group you feel that everyone doesn't seem to think about life, every day is a discussion, after all, there are old-timers there, in fact, you have to listen to what they think." ”
Here, his primary role is that of "observer", focusing intently on the play and character every day, observing the performance methods of each actor in the same group.

Lei Jiayin used "Ouch frightened" to describe the feeling of filming with senior brother Yu Hewei, after reading the script of "Rock Solid", he had his own preset for the role of Li Zhitian, but after acting in the first hot pot throwing mobile phone, he was surprised to find that senior brother unraveled this character in a completely different way, "You will think that this actor is too determined, and really eats the role too thoroughly." ”
In another scene, Su Jianming went to the Golden Five Group to investigate Li Zhitian, on one side were three "rookie little policemen", on the other side was the "black boss" and his three capable generals, and the confrontation atmosphere was very tense. At this time, Yu Hewei communicated with the director, hoping to add an action to answer the phone.
"In such a scene, many people will think about how the eldest brother should act, what he chose is to answer a call, you are all waiting when answering the phone, you are all stationary, you will all look at me, he will use this small means to reveal that I am the boss in this room, you will feel that this feeling is very subtle."
On the set, he always likes to stay with Yu Hewei, "You can learn something, and you can use it in the future, and each of their processing of details will make you feel that you have gained a lot." ”
But in fact, the two do not deliberately talk about acting in life, because learning to perform is a scholar's heart, and the master leads the door, and what he has to do is observe and pay attention. "If you really want to act well, you should be a person with a heart, and snack on anything, such as reading books and stories, having seen so many characters and watching so many movies, I don't know which one, click you."
It is necessary to work hard to be worthy of the audience's efforts
From last year to this year, Lei Jiayin achieved a double harvest on the screen and screen, "Manjiang Red" led the Spring Festival file at the box office, "Rock Solid" led the National Day file at the box office, and with the hit "The World", he won the Golden Eagle Award and the Magnolia Best Actor Award one after another.
Kung Fu pays off, and his acting skills that have been honed and refined over the years have made him seen by more and more people on the road to acting.
"As an actor, if you want to break through, you have to be responsible to the audience", in his opinion, whether the audience spends money to buy tickets to watch it, or spend time at home to watch it, you must use your efforts to be worthy of the audience's efforts.
"The Great Gold Robbery", "My First Half of Life", "Chang'an Twelve Hours", "Solid as a Rock", "On the Cliff", "The World", "Manjiang Red"... And over the years, every new role he challenges will bring the audience a fresh experience.

At the first press conference of "Rock Solid", Zhang Yimou commented that Lei Jiayin is an actor who cannot be underestimated, "He is very relaxed, his acting is very natural, and he can feel very malleable." Every time I look for him, every time I say hello to him, he has absolute trust in me, no matter how big or small the character is. ”
In the years after "Rock Solid", the two have cooperated three times, in the eyes of Lei Jiayin, cooperation with Director Zhang is like opening a blind box, but also like leading troops to fight, regardless of the size of the role, they are willing to try, "The director said what time, you lead the team to take this mountain down, I will attack." ”
In the intensive roadshow itinerary, Lei Jiayin always habitually coiled two walnuts, and some netizens included him as part of the "uncle circle team building", he modestly said, "I want to be able to mix inside, it is also a compliment to myself, because although I don't admit it, you must be this age in a few years, I hope to work hard to act something more solid."

For various evaluations on the Internet, Lei Jiayin laughed and said that in the past, he would watch it all night, but now he sees less and less.
"The things you care about at each stage are different, now what I care most about is which day to rest, I have to pinch my fingers, heck, after three days of road show, I can go home again, go home and eat something at night, how to rest, how to accumulate energy, I will think about these things."
Acting grows from life, and in his words, you have to keep trying. (End)
