1905 Movie Network Special Article The box office of the movie "Catching the Doll" is about to break 2 billion! It can be seen that the combination of "Shen Teng + Ma Li" is enough to "Wang Bang" and add enough firepower to the entire summer file.
If the comedy of "Shen Ma" is a stable output, and the slam dunk of "Grandma" Sarina is a surprise performance, then Shi Pengyuan, who plays Ma Jiye, is an "outlier".
"Catching the Doll" is based on the extreme setting of a rich man raising a baby, Ma Chenggang played by Shen Teng and Chunlan played by Ma Li tried their best to build a serial scam for their children for more than ten years, so that Ma Jiye can live in this world innocently, without any accidents, only the shortcomings of parents in life.
This contrast gives the actors a lot of requirements. Compared with the comedy performances of other actors, he returns to purity and performs in the most life-like way. When he was a guest on the "Dialogue" column of 1905 Film Network, Shi Pengyuan said that before filming, he wanted to act in a comedy, but the director asked him, "I hope to present a relatively more life-like and natural state." ”
From his first appearance in the movie in 2014, Shi Pengyuan has become a frequent visitor to the big screen 10 years later - "In the Octagon Cage" last summer, "Article 20" during this year's Spring Festival, and there is no shortage of works to be screened in the future.
From the child who was once unconscious of acting, to the current student of the Performance Department of Communication University of China, in his current view, "Acting is a process that becomes more and more difficult the more you learn, and the more difficult it becomes." ”

Before "Catching the Doll", Shi Pengyuan mostly participated in suspense and realistic works, and most of the characters were "dirty bags" and dirty children. But as a Northeasterner with a comedy factor in his genes, he has long hoped to appear in a comedy movie.
When directors Yan Fei and Peng Damo found Shi Pengyuan, this hidden "Happy Twist" fan was not to mention how excited, "I have seen many of their works before, especially "Charlotte's Troubles" is very impressive. ”
After meeting and chatting about the script, he was attracted to this story, "It is related to a person's growth experience, Ma Jiye itself has many turning points, and there are opportunities to try more in performance." ”
The performance mode of comedy performances and other genre works is not consistent, which gives Shi Pengyuan, who is acting in comedy for the first time, a lot of difficulty and pressure, "I don't want to cause trouble to the crew, delay everyone's progress, and drop the chain for everyone." ”
Before joining the group, he once again revisited Shen Teng and Ma Li's past comedy works, "Watch more, learn more." ”
But before the show, the director asked him not to use too much comedy logic to act, because Ma Jiye was "tricked" to grow up, he didn't doubt life too much in the past, and grew up as comfortable as other children, director Yan Fei asked him to use a more natural and life-like state to deal with his performance.
Therefore, in this movie, Shi Pengyuan's performance is far more difficult than imagined, not only to use the performances of other comedians as the fulcrum, but also to present the purity of the teenager, but also to express realistically, highlighting the tragedy of this character.
If Shen Teng Ma Li's comedy performance is external, then Shi Pengyuan's performance must be inward.
Especially the outbreak scene at the end of the movie, which is the moment when Ma Jiye finally awakens.
Shi Pengyuan completely took on this role, just imagine, the people around him, or the inconsequential passers-by have deceived themselves around, this person's past eighteen years can be said to be a tragedy.
That scene was filmed many times, and the director would have wanted his performance to be more detailed and fully immersed. In the adjustment attempts again and again, Shi Pengyuan reached the state that the director wanted. Of course, throughout the process, the director will constantly stimulate him to perform in different states, and finally find the most suitable one in the editing.

Because it is a comedy movie, and most of the staff are partners who have worked together for nearly ten years, the atmosphere of the whole "Catching the Doll" scene is very relaxed, and it is also the crew with the most laughter.
Especially Shen Teng, everyone will be amused. In Shi Pengyuan's view, this filming is a "laughing challenge".
The first scene between Shi Pengyuan and Shen Teng was the scene where Ma Jiye found out that his grandmother could play basketball and came back to find his father. But when he saw Shen Teng's first side, Shi Pengyuan automatically popped up a lot of the other party's classic scenes in his mind, "Popping out like a movie puller." ”
But it was a very long line, and I suddenly felt that my brain and mouth were not on the same channel, "I couldn't bear to laugh and endure it very hard." ”
He also watches Shen Teng Ma Li's filming with the crew on weekdays, "Their performances are very powerful, very smooth, and very funny." Every time Shen Teng saw him laughing, he would "complain" that the other party was "too fragile".
"But in the face of the 'laughing fruit' of the two of them, who can hold back their laughter." In Shi Pengyuan's impression, the filming of the last scene really made him almost "laugh".
Shen Teng wanted to say a long monologue to him, and when the camera hit Shi Pengyuan, the director suggested that Shen Teng didn't need to say words, just do actions, "I was crying, and when I was about to move forward, Brother Teng 'twitched' twice, I was originally nervous, but Sister Li didn't hold back, and she also commented on a word." "The joke between the best friends successfully poked Shi Pengyuan," I couldn't hold back directly, and laughed for a long time before relieving myself. ”
Shi Pengyuan "bullied" the son of Ma Li's character in the movie "Article 20", and in just half a year, he became the son of Ma Li's character in "Catching the Doll", which can be described as "the mother and son of the wrongdoe".
As a veteran comedian, Shen Teng Ma Li has a natural sense of control over creation, which guides Shi Pengyuan's interpretation well.
"Catching the Doll" is the first time that Shi Pengyuan has really been deeply involved in the creation of comedy, "The creative state of each actor in the crew is very solid, which gave me a great shock. ”
The biggest surprise for him is that this creation opens up a new world of acting, "It turns out that comedy is performed like this, for me, acting is always a learning process. ”

At the same time, the young horse Jiye was completed by Shi Pengyuan, and the little horse Jiye was handed over to the little actor Xiao Bochen.
In order to keep Ma Jiye consistent in the two stages, before the movie started, the director took Shi Pengyuan to the computer room to watch the playback of the young actors, "I try to maintain that state as much as possible, and at the same time, according to the play given by the script, this role becomes relatively calmer." ”
This kind of replay seems to have become a "boomerang" in Shi Pengyuan's body.
Like Ma Jiye, the former Shi Pengyuan hopes to become an athlete. An accident set him on the road to film.
At that time, the crew of "One Life" was looking for a child who could play Nicholas Tse's childhood, but they found Shi Pengyuan, and even Nicholas Tse bluntly said that it was too similar. It's just that at that time, for Shi Pengyuan, there was no concept of acting, "What adults say, how do you do it." ”
Until he encountered "The Hidden Corner", the role of "Yan Liang" slowly made him understand, "Believe in the script, believe in the director, and believe in the rival actors." ”
In just 4 years, the audience can always see Shi Pengyuan in various popular film and television dramas.
He is Xie Xiaoxia of "Going to a Windy Place"; is Wang Bei of "The Long Season"; It is also Su Mu of "In the Octagonal Cage...... Everyone slowly discovered that the little actor who used to be has become a young actor with many masterpieces.
Shi Pengyuan occasionally chatted with young actors who grew up with him about this change, "For our current age, the best state is not to act. Why do everyone say that performing is more sincere when they are children, because it is really listening, watching, and feeling. This feeling of pristine ecology is very valuable, and I think I can keep it that way. ”
It's just that now he can't play the same instinctive performance as in the past, "Now I need to play more roles, experience more complex and emotionally rich roles, and for me, maybe that's the really difficult time." ”
In the past year, Shi Pengyuan has spent more time returning to his daily life, in addition to filming, he shuttles between the classroom and the rehearsal room, "The school is a platform for me to have the courage to try, I can create as much as I want in the rehearsal room, it is a platform full of infinity and a good way to show myself." ”
Now, he is not in a hurry to think about those utilitarian gains and losses, "I love the state and atmosphere on the set more." ”
