Huang Lei's pace of life has slowed down now, and he has gradually withdrawn from the hustle and bustle in front of the stage, and has turned to enjoying life behind the scenes more.
When Sister Lu Yu threw out that sharp and practical question - "Huang Lei, can you really live like our usual office workers?"
Huang Lei listened, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes flashed with a touch of wisdom and a slightly naughty light, as if telling some unknown secret.
He replied leisurely: "The 'real' you are talking about, in fact, may be an ideal picture in my heart, imagine how comfortable it is to commute to work every day and live a simple life." But as an actor, I know too well the dedication behind this profession, which is a lot of time, effort and even the whole of life. Even if I yearn for that kind of ordinary life, I also understand that reality is often not so satisfactory, and there will always be a distance that is difficult to cross. ”
Huang Lei smiled warmly and firmly, and there was a sense of perseverance in his words: "Having said that, whenever a good script comes to the door, whether it is asking me to show a side that I have never had in front of the stage, such as director Jia Ling's works, I do not hesitate to make physical sacrifices for the needs of the role, and perform a comedy that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, or behind-the-scenes work, such as screenwriters or directors, as long as these opportunities allow me to continue to burn the flame of creation, it is the most sincere call in my heart, and I will never let go easily." ”
He then told the story that although the years have left a few traces on him, this has not reduced his love and dedication to acting.
He knows that as he grows older, the type of role he may play will be limited, but he firmly believes that as a real actor, the value of acting does not lie in the youthful appearance, but in whether it can really touch the depths of the character's soul and give the character fresh vitality.
For change, Huang Lei did not fear or reject, but chose to accept and respond with a more calm and rational attitude.
"If there is a script with deep affection flowing between the words, rich enough to touch the softness of my heart, and make me feel that it is worthwhile to change my image, adjust the rhythm of life, or even subvert myself for it, then I will not hesitate to accept the challenge. ”
Huang Lei said bluntly, he is indeed not the kind of person who is easy to fall into self-entanglement, he pays more attention to practical actions rather than blindly looking back on the past, "For me, acting is not only a profession, but also a love of life and awe of art." Instead of dwelling on the past, it is better to do what is at hand in a down-to-earth manner, grasp every possible opportunity, and interpret my persistent pursuit of performing arts with actions. ”
Nowadays, in this entertainment industry, the "uncle circle" is booming, and it is very hot.
Let's just say that Zhang Songwen, Wang Yang, Wang Jinsong, these old brothers, one by one, have good acting skills, and the popularity index is rising, just like the sun is shining in the sky, so hot that you don't want it.
The scripts they received were one after another, and they were so busy that they didn't touch the ground, and they became the sought-after sweethearts of the major crews. In particular, the roles they play are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the audience loves them deeply and praises them in and out of the play.
On the other hand, Mr. Huang Lei, his life trajectory seems to have turned a corner. At the beginning, Huang Lei was not only a tutor for teaching and educating people at Beijing Film Academy, but also the works he participated in in his early years were also well-known and can be called classics.
But now it seems that his output in film and television dramas has slowed down significantly, and he does not appear on the big and small screens as frequently as before.
More often, you can see Huang Lei active in various variety shows, as if he has found another rhythm of life and enjoyed a different acting life.
Teacher Huang Lei showed his versatility and affinity in the reality show, from the "Huang Xiao Chef" who cooked a good dish to the warm and intelligent "Big Parent", he mingled with the audience in a relaxed and humorous way.
Although there are fewer film and television dramas, this does not prevent him from breaking new ground in the variety show industry and continuing to win the love of many audiences.
Perhaps for him, compared with the high-intensity crew life, this rhythm of participating in various programs is more suitable for him, and it can also allow him to better balance work and life, and live his own "uncle" life leisurely.
There are many people outside who speculate whether Huang Lei is out of filming, but he himself responded to this question generously.
Actually, it's been more than two years, and he hasn't played a big role in TV series, and the last time he appeared on the screen as a starring actor, it had to be traced back to three years ago.
It stands to reason that if he hasn't shown up for such a long time, others may think that he has fallen into the embarrassing situation of finding the door without a play, but Huang Lei is not the case at all.
He frankly said what he was thinking, saying that he did it on purpose, and took the initiative to downshift himself, and he didn't have so much work to do. Why?
This Huang Lei is quite content now, and in his words, he has already resisted the non-stop work rhythm.
