In the episodes broadcast this week, the two protagonists will encounter a major turning point that will change their lives, Wei Wuxian (Xiao Zhan) incarnated as Yiling Laozu officially launched, one of the biggest villains Wen Chao (He Peng) died tragically, in just one week, the Weibo topic "Wen Chao offline" has exceeded 200 million reads, Wen Chao's actor He Peng also said in an interview that the hardest part of the filming process is this "offline scene". "It was the high temperature season in Hengdian, Wen Chao's scalp fell off the face of the decaying special effects makeup to take three hours, the makeup process also helped me feel the helplessness of Wen Chao's inability to survive in my heart, I saw wen Chao's helplessness and desire to survive when I saw my face full of flesh and blood in the mirror, when shooting, the whole process was a passion play, a lot of dehydration, when acting, I did not notice other feelings, and the director felt a little dizzy and gasped after shouting to stop."
When Wen Chao went offline, He Peng acted to the point of suffocation
"Chen Qing Ling" is a Xian Xia drama jointly produced by Penguin Film and Television and Xinpan Media, which tells the story of the original unrestrained teenager Wei Wuxian in an era when immortals, demons and people coexist, after encountering a series of twists and turns, cultivating into a magic way to become Yiling Laozu, and then borrowing the body of others when he was on the verge of death, and working with his confidant Lan Forgetful Machine to maintain stability... Wen Chao's tragic death was one of the famous scenes in the original "Demon Dao Ancestor" of "Chen Qing Ling", "Demon Dao Ancestor Destroys Wen" It is also one of the most difficult highlights in the whole play, and the whole crew successfully restored this famous scene under the command of director Chen Jialin. The director said that this scene requires actors to perform without physical objects, and actors need to jump out of the "fairyland" of "Chen Qingling" to completely change their mood and performance style, which is the biggest test for actors, especially for Wen Chao.
The princes in "Chen Qing Ling" are all high-value and cultivated characters. But Wen Chao is a special case, Wen Chao every time he appears, he either has a clean painting style or a bad character, such as Wen Chao's first appearance, the white-clad fairies of the major families are respectfully offering gifts to the teacher, but Wen Chao is late in taking steps that the six relatives do not recognize, not only do not show the pass but also directly burn the receptionist, with a team of armed people and horses directly kicking the door in... For a while, netizens wanted to "send blades" to him, and the teeth of his hatred were itchy, and later when Wen Chao was chased and killed by Yiling Lao Zu and wanted to escape home, He Peng vividly interpreted Wen Chao's fragile side: the people around him continued to die in various ways, and he would wake up from nightmares every night, often curled up in the corner, helpless like a child. This is also a sharp contrast to the flying and flapping when he first appeared.
He Peng is also in this escape scene, every day to wear makeup for three hours, not only to let the audience see the change of hair, but also to use his own acting skills, showing how this character collapsed step by step on the way to escape. Although he is still alive, he may face danger to his life at any time, and at that time he is not sure who his opponent is or what kind of technique he uses. He Peng recalled the most memorable scene in an interview, which is this paragraph: "In order to shoot this scene of Wen Chao's offline line, not only did I have to wear makeup for more than 3 hours every day, but I also worked hard to devote myself to the character of Wen Chao, showing his psychological process of gradual collapse. Thanks to the special effects teacher for giving me this horrifying and terrifying special effects makeup, when I saw my face full of flesh and blood blurred in the mirror, it was as if I saw Wen Chao's helplessness and desire to survive, and I was from the heart to the appearance of the poor and hateful Wen Chao, to the point of being scared to death and unable to be relieved of Wen Chao. When filming, the whole process was a passion scene, a lot of dehydration, when acting, I was fully engaged and did not notice other feelings, and the director felt a little dizzy and gasped after shouting to stop."
"Wen Chao is a typical villain with a face, and the tone of this role must be set to be more external than the normal role, and it must be octave higher, so it is necessary to design some careful thinking, in a limited space, so that the audience has a stronger sense of substitution." At the end, it is necessary to put this tone to the ground, to let this role be understood by the audience, until the final death, the audience sees the silent night is broken by the long howl of the poignant, so that there is a more sense of substitution. ”
Gain 20 pounds just to play the "greasy" teenager Wen Chao
Today, He Peng is affectionately called "Teaching Director" by fans, and He Peng has changed from being "incredible" when he first heard this title to liking it more and more, and even calling himself "Director". This title is because Wen Chao is both arrogant and dedicated and harsh, than if any student (Xianmen Gongzi) is treated equally, he will not violate the family rules to be punished, he will be punished for not standing upright, the weapons he brings will be confiscated, and the naughty students will even be physically punished to "pick up the feces"... The audience slowly saw from this hateful tooth itchy arrogant Wen Chao that made people admire the "extremely strong professionalism", netizens made a lot of interesting GIFs to he Peng to describe this very enterprising "teaching director", He Peng's favorite two pictures were written on them respectively "He came, he came, he came with responsibility" and "Admit defeat, on the professionalism, you can't win Wen Chao", He Peng said that every time he saw these two pictures, he would smile. "I found that netizens are microscope girls, some of my careful thoughts can be discovered by them" He Peng's biggest heart is to perform Wen Chao's "greasy" rapid fattening of 20 pounds, "After reading the script and the original work, I want to understand Wen Chao's words and deeds, I remember that the first sentence of the script's introduction to Wen Chao is 'barely handsome, the appearance is slightly greasy', then I need to first look more like Wen Chao from the appearance. My sister Wen Qing (played by Mengziyi) said that everyone in this drama is thin while filming, the conditions are very difficult, and it is in the summer heat, and the whole drama is only me fat while filming." He Peng has always been complacent about his careful thinking.
Because the background of "Chen Qing ling" is a world where immortals and demons coexist, many characters in the play have their own chivalrous fairy winds, especially the blue forgetful machine played by Wang Yibo, which has been righteous, taciturn, and fairy from the first episode, and the male number one Wei Wuxian played by Xiao Zhan is full of chivalry despite encountering various twists and turns. In contrast, Wen Chao, the "biggest villain" in the first half of "Chen Qing Ling", has gone completely different since his debut. He Peng's Weibo posted, "Today's theme 'Director is not thin'." The picture is a red-clad He Peng's daily life photos, netizens' comments are almost unanimous praise for tall, handsome and gentle, "I am not at all as angry in the play, I have not hated Wen Chao", "He Peng gained 20 pounds, just to make Wen Chao more hateful and loved, this is the post-90s acting school", "He Peng gained 20 pounds just to play a "greasy" teenager, do you still hate Wen Chao? And so on.
Dedicated actors often make themselves more authentic in appearance according to the role he/she plays, and the little plum of the year is a typical example. And He Peng's fattening performance in "Chen Qing Ling" reflects his dedication. He Peng graduated from the 2010 undergraduate class of acting drama at the Beijing Film Academy, and the "well-known classmates" of different classes in the same class include Zhang Yishan and Yang Zi. For the last works, He Peng said that he also had two memorable characters to meet the audience, namely the bloody inspirational drama "Legend of Hot Blood" based on the comic "Yanshifan", in which he played Lian Er as an evil and crazy character; Another memorable role is played in the modern web drama "My Name is Zhao Jiadi", which is also an IP work, adapted from the famous writer Beacon Theatre Princes' original book "Lao Tzu is a Toad".
