"Books Everywhere" is also an authentic fine Lu opera, and actor Lai Xi plays the male number one in the play, playing a warm and inspirational first secretary. On May 28, Laixi was exclusively interviewed by qilu evening news qilu one-point reporter, and the well-known "golden supporting role" Laixi is actually a big actor.
Male Number One
Always prepared for various roles
In the last episode of "Books Everywhere", Liu Shicheng, the first secretary played by Lai Xi, and the villagers of Chunshugou Village said goodbye, and the villagers were afraid that Liu Shicheng would not come back, so they let him leave the change of clothes in the village, and Wen Xiu, played by Wang Yajie, called Liu Shicheng and said, If you want to wear those clothes, go back to the village. Liu Shicheng said loudly and cheerfully, "Good! ”
After 38 episodes, Liu Shicheng, the first secretary of "Books Everywhere", won praise from the audience and the industry. Laixi said that when the list of actors was just released during the preparation of "Books Everywhere", some people in the industry also pinched a handful of sweat for him, "Some friends think that Laixi can play the first secretary well? Can Laixi, known as the 'golden supporting role', play a good male number one? ”
LaiXi said that he did not have any hesitation when he received the invitation for this role, because he knew that he had been preparing for the suitable male number one role for many years, and the first secretary Liu Shicheng was the right role, "The director of this drama, Yang Zhen, and the screenwriter Zhang Ji have observed me for more than ten years, and they know me very well and trust me very much. Laixi revealed that in the process of preparing this drama, he went to the local area in advance to visit relevant people to understand the situation, "I have been maintaining in-depth exchanges with local village cadres and first secretaries, chatting with them, making friends, and also lamenting that with the changes of the times, various situations in the countryside are undergoing earth-shaking changes." I am an actor who came out of the land of Yimeng, not only familiar with this land, but also deeply loved, I know what the people in this land think and think, and I am also handy in acting. ”
In fact, "Everywhere Books" is not the first time that Laixi has played the male number one in film and television works, in the previous movies "Pillow Man" and "Clown" and other works, Laixi has played the male number one.
Youth love theme movie "Pillow Man" by Lai Xi, Wang Yajie led the starring, in order to play the film in the male number one of the youth decade, Lai Xi needs to lose weight, Lai Xi said that for the "Pillow Man" this film, I am indeed very hard, "in order to get close to that role I continue to lose weight, the body did reach the limit, during weight loss three times into the hospital treatment, the third time is really into the rescue room, during which I called my wife to the side, told her who owes us how much money, have begun to explain the aftermath." Entering the rescue room is the misfortune of life, but the misfortune of life is the blessing of art, and I have been working hard for so many years to make efforts for every suitable role. Whether it was playing male number one in "The Pillow Man" or "Everywhere in the Book", it was not born to drop the pie and hit me on the head. ”
Lai Xi said that to prepare for each suitable role, go deep into life to experience, not only the role of rural themes, but also more colorful roles, such as the youth love theme of "Pillow Man", such as the performance of urban shantytown transformation of "Anju", "In the TV series "Anju", I played a chengguan captain, in order to play this role, I went to Baotou City, the prototype of the story, to experience life. On the streets of Baotou at four o'clock in the morning, I talked to a sanitation worker and asked him why he started work so early, and he said that only by cleaning the streets so early can there be a clean city at dawn. This made me understand the sanitation workers and the working environment of the urban management staff who have more contact with the sanitation workers. Chengguan law enforcement staff strictly enforce the law and provide enthusiastic service, but also in order to eliminate the chaos of the environment from the source, but also to alleviate the work pressure of sanitation workers, which makes me have a deeper understanding of the roles in the play. ”
Big pursuits
Step out of your comfort zone of comedy performances
Laixi was originally named Xu Yujun, how did the name Laixi come about? Lai Xi said that in 2005, he participated in the TV series "Zhang Parent Li Jia Short" directed by Yang Zhen, and the role played in it was called Lai Xi, although there were not many scenes, but the performance was good, and since then, the name of Lai Xi has been fixed.
The name Laixi itself has a sense of comedy, and some of the works before Laixi do have obvious comedic overtones, especially the two characters of Liang Shouye in "Ma Xiangyang Goes to the Countryside" and Hou Ji in "Military Alliance", which make Laixi shine with comedy. Is Laixi a born comedian? His eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, "Probably from the looks, I am slightly joyful, small eyes, smiling and squinting when I speak, such a person has a natural advantage in acting comedy." But Laixi said that comedy is not his own label, "The actor should be water, and in whatever vessel it is placed in, it can be in any shape." Comedy, tragedy, drama, the most difficult thing is how to grasp the tone and soul of the character's heart. ”
"Everywhere Shuxiang" is a work with light comedy characteristics, but as the first secretary Liu Shicheng, played by LaiXi, the male number one, is not known for his humorous characteristics, many viewers commented that slowly moved by Liu Shicheng, really close to you, warm you, this role is not funny, but a warm man.
Lai Xi said that "Books Everywhere" has some characteristics of light comedy, but it is a high-quality drama, and when he plays the first secretary Liu Shicheng in the play, he is also deliberately stepping out of the comfort zone of comedy performance that he is good at, and calmly and unhurriedly erects the characters in a silent way.
Lai Xi said that the typicalization of comedy was what he was good at before, "For example, liang accountant, who I played in "Ma Xiangyang Goes to the Countryside", has several obvious labels, such as walking to clip a bag, such as saying that there is 'great wisdom' at every turn, such as fear of wife, there are these labels, this role with a sense of comedy soon left an impression in the audience's mind. ”
And in "Everywhere Books" as the first secretary Liu Shicheng, Laixi avoided these types and labels, no flowery rhetoric, no obvious mountains and dew, looks a little cute, but there is a way to work, people are also very sincere, and the communication with the blind dates is moist and silent, "For example, when I first entered the village, the villagers thought that I would definitely bring what projects and bring funds to the village, so let me speak, I simply said two sentences, the villagers asked this is over, I finished. The first meeting and speech was not passionate at all, but the subsequent work was serious and sincere, and Liu Shicheng impressed the villagers with his real work. ”
The scene of "Everywhere Books" is not always plain, and occasionally there are thrills, Lai Xi said, "In the play, Liu Shicheng, who I play, is a person who is very afraid of dogs, and there is a scene in the play where I am bitten by a dog. Although the dog was trained, it was still dangerous, especially when I stepped back, and as soon as he saw me retreat, he immediately stood up, and then I stopped for a moment before he sat down again. I clearly felt that if I took another step back it would pounce on me. This kind of drama is more thrilling. ”
Big feelings
The self-cultivation of an actor
Director Yang Zhen will be happy to play Liu Shicheng in "Books Everywhere" as "a plain-looking, simple and sincere, but very hard-working grassroots party member cadre, a practical person who is not shrewd enough but meticulous." Lai Xi said that Liu Shicheng is an ordinary grassroots cadre, an ordinary person, but also a "big person." "To say that Liu Shicheng is a big man is not to say how high his position is, not to say that he has done earth-shattering things, but to say that this person has great feelings." This great feeling is reflected in the fact that as long as the goal is correct and positive, despite all the difficulties on the way forward, there is always an effort to do it, and it will always wait until the day when the willow is dark. ”
Lai Xi gave an example, in "Books Everywhere", Liu Shicheng asked all the villagers to write their wishes on the blackboard, and everyone's wishes were varied: some said they wanted to go to Beijing to see Tiananmen, some said they wanted to let grandpa be healthy, some wanted to buy a new house, and some wanted to build a kindergarten... When these dreams were presented one by one, everyone asked, does Secretary Liu have a dream? Liu Shicheng said, my dream is to realize your dreams one by one.
Big feelings make big people, and big people make big actors. Laixi, who was previously called a small person and a "gold medal supporting role", has actually become a big actor. In the process of growing up from small people to big actors, an actor's self-cultivation is indispensable, that is, adhering to the "drama is bigger than the sky", this self-cultivation is not only to try different roles, but also to see the drama as a bigger attitude and effort than the sky.
LaiXi still remembers a scene in the movie "Bullfighting" with Huang Bo more than ten years ago, "There was a scene in the play where Huang Bo buried me, I needed to lie in the ice and snow of the glacier, I had to hold my breath for more than a minute, waiting for Huang Bo to bury, when I was soaked in ice water, my eyes were full of smashed sand, in addition to shivering cold, shivering, I didn't dare to make any movement, at that time I felt that I had sucked all the oxygen, I had held my breath to the limit, and I felt that my lungs were going to explode." LaiXi said that at that time, the feeling of the whole body seemed to break through the ground at any time, "cold to the limit of the body, holding the breath to the limit of the body, still have to be motionless." ”
Laixi, who went to the depths of life to experience Laixi, said that he was willing to try a broader field of performance, "I have acted in the youth theme movie "Pillow Man", played a rural accountant in "Ma Xiangyang Goes to the Countryside", played a butler in a costume drama in "The League of Military Teachers", played the captain of the urban management in "Anju", and played the first secretary of "Everywhere In the Book", I think I can also try more types of roles. ”
