Liu Jun: An actor is to really shape the character

After the launch of the period drama "Children of the Qiao Family", the selfish and disregardless character Qiao Zuwang in the play caused many topics. After his wife died, he did not take care of the children but deducted living expenses, which made the audience hate it and itch his teeth. Liu Jun, who plays Qiao Zuwang, talked about the role and shooting feelings in an interview with reporters yesterday, and he said bluntly: Actors are to truly shape the role.

The bad guys have to be played

Liu Jun told reporters that when he received the invitation, the director Zhang Kaizhou asked him" if he was afraid of being scolded. He guessed at the time that this was an unpleasant character. "I didn't hesitate at the time, isn't the actor just going to create the character? Whether it is a good person or a bad person, there must be actors to shape. Liu Jun said.

After reading the script, Liu Jun found that the character of Qiao Zuwang did have some problems. "This man is actually quite representative, especially in that era. For example, there are many children in the family, but he completely ignores the children, and in the eyes of the audience, this person is too selfish. Qiao Zuwang is a character with the characteristics of the times. We create for the sake of truth-seeking, and we have to restore the people of that era. The audience has a critical, sarcastic attitude towards such a father, and I think it is nothing. ”

Act as vividly as possible

Under the molding of Liu Jun, Qiao Zu is angry and hateful, but also very ridiculous. Talking about how to grasp the multi-faceted nature of characters, Liu Jun said: "We can't say that a bad person is all-round bad, and good people are also flawed, and no one is perfect. A character is a bit hated, which is the embodiment of the value orientation, but if it annoys people, it is too bad, and the character has no audience popularity, which is troublesome. ”

Liu Jun believes that Qiao Zuwang is not a bad person in the full sense, but he is superficial, snobbish, and the way of living to guard an acre and a third of land is both easy to satisfy and easy to get carried away, such a small person, how to play more abundantly and more vividly, Liu Jun pondered and pondered. Thus, there is an expression of anger, anger, and staring at the eyeballs, and there is also the appearance of selfishness and disregard. "I tried to make the character 'interesting' as much as possible. Playing this kind of character is to be real, people can't be black and white, and Qiao Zuwang also has his cute place. ”

Learn dialects in life

The story of the Qiao family takes place in Nanjing in the 1970s. In order to truly restore the old times, the main creative team adopted the method of building a shed and filming on the spot, and every place showed its ingenuity. At the same time, the Nanjing dialects such as Qiao Zuwang's "what to do" and "can't be put up" in the play also give the audience a sense of substitution.

When it comes to learning the Nanjing dialect, Liu Jun bluntly said that it is too difficult. In a limited time, he not only asked the teacher for advice, but also made a special trip to Nanjing. "I went shopping and markets by myself, and my friends took me to listen to the people of Nanjing talking about cross-talk, and to the tea houses in Nanjing to feel the life of the city, and I did a lot of homework in this regard." Even on the shooting scene, Liu Jun also asked a native of Nanjing to check the accent and help him smooth out sentence by sentence.

I hope the audience will think about it

With the broadcast of this drama, the original family and parent-child relationship have become a hot topic of discussion among the audience. For the "Chinese parents" in the play, Liu Jun believes that in the past era, this is very real and common. For this drama about family and growth, Liu Jun hopes that the audience will be comfortable to watch. "I hope that the 'Children of Joe's Family', which we have worked hard to create, can make everyone both entertained and think about in the fast-paced life and work." Think about what family is, what happiness is, how we should get along with people, how we should get along with our families. (Reporter Liu Guifang)
