The just-concluded "Over the Hill" shows the private automotive industry under the tide of the development of the times, in which the powerful actor Liu Xiaohai played a big boss who was well received by netizens - Peng Bo, president of Tianguan Group. However, what is surprising is that this president is not a domineering president in the traditional sense, but a flesh and blood with joys and sorrows. In view of the fact that men and women in domestic industry dramas often hang in the industry to fall in love, it is Bloomberg, the big brother president, who shoulders the burden of presenting the style of the private automotive industry. Therefore, Liu Xiaohai said that Bloomberg should not be too much like the overlord in the novel, but should be closer to the big entrepreneurs in reality.
The first character to break out in the whole drama of "Over the Hill" is Bloomberg, played by Liu Xiaohai. His reprimand to his brother in the office really made the audience realize what is called "splitting the head and covering the face". It can be seen from this scene that Liu Xiaohai has rich experience in film and television performance, and it is very clear that the photographer adopts an upward perspective, and it is also clear that there is a difference between himself and his opponent's role. So, he took advantage of this angle and height difference to create a sense of oppression from top to bottom. Moreover, in this reprimand, he did not blindly erupt, but slowed down when reasoning with his brother, immediately letting the audience perceive that this brother had a younger brother in his heart. The plot behind it does show the big brother's love for his brother again and again. Therefore, Liu Xiaohai uses the adjustment of explosion and slowness to foreshadow the relationship between the characters.
Bloomberg, as the big brother of the family and the president of the work, definitely has a domineering side. For example, he fed his injured brother, and the younger brother had already said that he did not want to eat, and he still had to feed him more. This domineering behavior is actually to explain the history of the character, which is a big brother who has been a "father". Not to mention other domineering behavior, every time Bloomberg was angry at the work of Tianguan, Liu Xiaohai's explosive power could scare the audience. At the meeting, he threw down a sentence of "Can you do it, you guys look at it!" "Who would dare to speak out?
If Bloomberg, the president, is just a simple overbearing, it will not enter the eyes of the acting school. Don't look at Bloomberg is not the number one person in "Over the Hill", but his story line is ups and downs and very realistic, the emotional relationship contains many aspects, it can be said that the mood and sorrow provide the actor with the space to interpret. It is no wonder that Liu Xiaohai called him "one of his favorite characters so far". Actors with a sense of responsibility and a desire for artistic expression will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to play, and they will naturally not be stingy when they meet.
So we see that Liu Xiaohai carefully grasps Bloomberg's joys and sorrows in the play. We can see Meng in Bloomberg's face when he was given a superman by his grandfather; we can see the style in bloomberg's face when he attended the tianguan conference; we can see the urgency in his eyes when Bloomberg cares about his brother's safety; we can see the obedience in his smile when Bloomberg listens to his grandfather's lecture; we can hear Jing in his tone when Qianqian gives him a sweet porridge that he doesn't like.
The reason why Bloomberg is only occasionally overbearing is because he, like the real president, most of the time has to weigh a lot of pros and cons before taking a stand, such as weighing whether to change the law firm, weighing whether to adopt a seven-day test drive plan, and so on. And this kind of trade-off drama, all of them are inner dramas, Liu Xiaohai put a lot of inner trade-offs dramas, all of which performed a kind of "brain shell pain" effect. It turned out that the president was more upset than overbearing.
"Over the Hill" is a play that prefers to create characteristic scenes when dealing with emotional scenes, throwing the character into a scene with an image hinting taste, and then allowing the audience to taste his emotional fluctuations. In Bloomberg's emotional line, one of Hoarder's favorite iconic scenes is that after Lai fei helps him block the wine, he sits alone and laughs in a group of high drinkers. This shot has a particularly graphic texture, whether it is the composition or Liu Xiaohai's performance, it can make a deep impression. Not only is Bloomberg's miscellaneous tastes at this moment obvious, but in this instant, his relationship with Reiffel clearly has a chemical effect.
Another highlight is after Bloomberg proposed a breakup with Riffel. Riffel begged him, "Take care of yourself. Liu Xiaohai paused slightly, and then said only one "good" word. Both men's expressions were forcefully controlled, presenting an untimely calm. So "time is tight and the task is heavy" has become the tacit understanding of the two people. And this tacit statement is obviously more heartbreaking than any painful expression or word. It is said that this scene was personally condensed into this by Liu Xiaohai, which shows that he has a very deep understanding of the role of Bloomberg.
There was a line between Bloomberg's elders: "Children quarrel, let's ignore it." In other words, in the eyes of the older generation of the automotive industry, only Bloomberg can not be considered a "child" in the third generation of this group of cars. They know that Bloomberg doesn't argue, and that big things and small things can be settled in ways they think are reasonable. It's Bloomberg's success as a president, but it's not necessarily everything he wants. He just wanted to do the great filial piety that his grandfather had told him to do—there was the world in his eyes and the mountains and rivers in his heart.
Bloomberg's love for his brother is a common routine of family affection in TV dramas. However, Liu Xiaohai still designed a lot of poignant details during the performance. For example, when my brother talked about the care he had taken care of his brother in recent years, he heard Bloomberg's eyes fill with tears. In order not to let the tears fall out of his eyes, he deliberately made a gesture of looking up. There is also the younger brother in order to help Tianguan save President Qiu, and he reluctantly does it at the dinner table, which makes Bloomberg's eyeballs full of blood. The performance details captured by these close-up shots once again prove the superb acting skills of Liu Xiaohai.
Now it is popular to "throw face in drama", and Liu Xiaohai can even be called "drama throwing people", because he likes to exchange his words and deeds and mentality with the characters after packaging up as a whole. Comparing Zhou Tie hammer in "The Running Age", Fang Jingcheng in "Detective Ke Chen" and Bloomberg in this play, it can be found that Liu Xiaohai's tone, posture, aura and mental outlook in the play are completely different. Each character has an external and internal unity that can be conveyed through their own details. This may be the excellence of creative actors. I have to say that Liu Xiaohai's creative initiative has indeed raised the role of Bloomberg to a higher level. This year, Hunan Satellite TV is expected to broadcast his "Perfect Evidence" with Jiao Junyan and Zhang Ruoyun, which will definitely be a role worth savoring the joys and sorrows.
