Approaching the end of the New Year, TVB launched the fantasy Chinese New Year comedy "The Deity is in Place", using newcomers Kong Dexian and Chen Jiahui to play the male and female leads, and "whitewashing" the "royal villain" Xie Dongmin, playing the role of the kind-hearted and honest fairy Lu Dongbin. The plot of "The Deity in Place" tells the story of Chen Mukun (played by Kong Dexian), who defrauded the good faith and money in the name of the immortal Lu Dongbin, who angered Lu Dongbin himself to settle accounts because of too many negative comments, but unfortunately killed the "revenge-seeking roaring dog" on the way to settle the account, making Lu Dongbin stay in the people... It turned out that Lu Dongbin and Mu Kun had a "bad fate", because Lu Dongbin ignored the young Mu Kun and caused a tragedy that Mu Kun went on a crooked path, and then Lu Dongbin found that "being sent down" in addition to resolving the grievances with Mu Kun, but also to grow together...
This is Xie Dongmin's breakthrough work, he has nearly 14 years of experience in filming, and his recent more prominent roles are villains, including the Big Boss of "Midnight Guardian", the cheating husband of "Hello, My Doctor", and the perpetrator in "Spectator", all three roles have been praised for their performances, and Xie Dongmin has been named the "queen villain"! This time, Xie Dongmin plays a decent fairy, a slow and half-beat and a little natural fairy, full of joy. Speaking of being named a "royal villain", Xie Dongmin said with a smile that he had actually played a righteous role, but it happened that there were more bad roles recently. When it comes to playing immortals, Xie Dongmin pointed out that one of the biggest problems is the hairstyle: "The producer wanted my hair to be a little longer for both of my styles, so I used wigs for both of my styles." Because it was quite hot when we were shooting, and it was quite hard to wear a hood and a sticky beard. ”
In addition to playing with the traditional fairy story, "The Deity in Place" also plays with infinite creativity in folk allusions, among which the bridge of "seeking revenge and roaring dogs" is derived from the folk allusion "The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people". Because of this allusion, the innocent Howler Dog was stigmatized as a "vicious dog", and the unwilling Howling Dog pointed the finger at Lu Dongbin to destroy his reputation, triggering the "Divine Dog War". Talking about the relevant plot, Xie Dongmin revealed that in addition to being unforgettable about fighting with the air, it was the first time since he played that he hung Weiya to such a height: "In that scene, I mainly fought with the air, and it was also the first time that Weiya was hoisted so high, almost to the ceiling of the filming venue, and it was almost the whole night." Because I'm a little afraid of heights, I'm quite scared. ”
As for Kong Dexian, who was the first male leader, he frankly admitted that his first reaction when he received the role was "I don't know how to react": "I really can't react at the moment, so I am grateful to the company for giving me this opportunity." After that, I was so happy and looking forward to the whole filming process, and at the same time told myself to do my best. In the past two or three years, I have been playing against actors of the same generation a lot, but this time I have contacted many seniors, and they have taught me what it means to be dedicated to work, that is, no matter what position you are in, you must give full play to your best efforts. In order to be a good male leader, Kong Dexian lost 7.5 kilograms in a month, which is very exaggerated: "I am not fat myself, it was really a physical and psychological challenge during that time, I know that my acting skills are not mature enough, so I can only work harder." I slept with the script in my arms every day, and I brushed my teeth and revisited the script every day when I got up. He also added that he hoped to do his best to seize this opportunity. Kong Dexian also said that he is very happy that the three recently released works "Hello, My Doctor", "News Queen" and "The Deity is in Place" are three characters with very different personalities, and Kong Dexian believes that this can bring freshness to the audience.
Kong Dexian and Xie Dongmin are full of sparks both inside and outside the play, the two in the play are fighting wits and strength,-for-tat and occasionally fighting side by side, the relationship is intriguing; As for Kong Dexian, he revealed that he regarded Xie Dongmin as his elder brother, and was grateful to Xie Dongmin for teaching him a lot of things, Kong Dexian said: "He thinks things very thoroughly and has experience, and he understands me well, and he also understands what problems I am facing at this stage, and he has taught me a lot of things." ”
In addition, Chen Jiahui, who plays the role of "Oiran" Bai Xuehua, has a poor background, and has become a generation of Oiran with her beauty and temperament. Xuehua will also intervene in the "love triangle" between Mu Kun and Lu Dongbin, because Mu Kun fell in love with Xuehua at first sight because of a photo, and he tried his best to hug the beauty, but unfortunately Xuehua moved his true feelings to Lu Dongbin, who killed him halfway and did not talk about his children's private affairs, which made Mu Kun overturn the vinegar altar, and repeatedly embarrassed Lu Dongbin who didn't know what he was doing. Chen Jiahui's style in the play is full of fairy spirit, in addition to the Oiran look, the early Republic of China casual clothes Look, and the pure white fairy Look. When it comes to styling, Chen Jiahui frankly said that she is grateful to the producer for her hard work, and laughed that because all the styling is carefully designed, down to the difference in hairstyles and hair accessories, it takes a lot of time to change clothes every time; ”
The fantasy Chinese New Year comedy "The Deity is in Place" will be broadcast on TVB Jade Channel and Bury Dui APP from January 29, so stay tuned.
