Since the explosion of "Undocumented Crime" and "White Night Pursuit" last year, the audience's huge demand for "hardcore" police suspense dramas has never declined, and "Humble City" has pinched this rhythm, with a high level of American drama style, innovative genre themes, and interlocking compact plots that firmly attract the audience's attention.
In the play, Yu Yongyi, a high-ranking member of the Seven Star Society played by Sun Yan, accidentally broke into everyone's sight, bringing many viewers a surprise like "getting the most precious treasure". "Minister Yu is also too cute, contracting all the laughs of this play." "Yu Yongyi is simply responsible for adjusting the atmosphere." "Yu Yongyi has both a domineering side and a tenderness, very delicate."
In this regard, Sun Yan said that for Yu Yongyi's character "stylization" attempts not only to broaden their own performance style, but also to make themselves more confident in the acting of this matter, "The profession of actor is actually very passive, but I think I am lucky, but also to catch up with a good time, whether it is TV series, online dramas, or movies, the production is getting more and more sophisticated, but also gives many actors a lot of opportunities."
I hope that through the play "Humble City", more people can know and understand Sun Yan, the actor, and see the degree of completion of his portrayal of this role. ”
He is "Yu Yongyi" and even more "good actor" Sun Yan.
"Yu Yongyi" makes the audience forget that he is a "villain"
Since its launch on October 18, in less than 10 days, "Humble City" has ranked first in the iQiyi heat value rankings, and has also ranked first in the Baidu Search Wind and Cloud List TV Series & Movies list for five consecutive days, and the degree of discussion is even higher. With the unique color of burning, exploding and hard, Yin Yin has become a "dark horse" and broke the sluggish atmosphere of the recent drama market.
The story begins in Lankupa, the "forced" elevated city, the conflict between the two gangs of the Seven Star Society and the Peak Prosperity, the black and white confusion between the police and bandits, officials and businessmen, the good and evil are difficult to distinguish, and the ecological chain established by the original order begins to surge due to the intrusion of a stranger Luo Jia, and the contradictions and reversals are about to erupt.
In this complex world of black and white, good and evil thoughts, each character who is involved in the game has a hidden story behind it, which is confusing and difficult to see. In such a dark-toned story, the existence of "Yu Yongyi" has undoubtedly become a rare bright color, which also makes this play have some more "stable and skinny" texture.
Sun Yan admitted that since receiving this role, he has not regarded Yu Yongyi as a villain, "In fact, he is already very plump in the script." As the most trusted person of Zheng Taicheng, the boss of the Seven Star Society, Yu Yongyi has the gangster's jianghu and fierce heart, but too many details about "human nature" shown by him make many viewers forget his identity when they look at it, which is also indispensable to Sun Yan's amplification and enrichment of some "characteristics" of this role.
"There are two most important qualities of this character, one is optimism and humor, and the other is seriousness. I think he is a natural optimist, nothing is difficult for him, he always faces life with a happy and open-minded attitude. And the matter of heavy affection is more of a weakness for him, because in a highly dangerous and tense environment, he must face a lot of loneliness. ”
Although thousands of people are looking forward to it, in Yongyi's heart, some "love and righteousness" are more important than anything else, so he will choose to unconditionally believe in Bai Zhenhe, who is a green plum bamboo horse, and will also be grief-stricken after Xiao Wu was killed. It is this "sense of contrast" that allows the audience to better understand the complexity of the characters, and it is easier to be brought into the plot for a second.
The acting skills are precise, and they can make the audience laugh and make the audience cry
If a good actor wants to interpret the characteristics of the character, the tempering and portrayal of details is indispensable. "Humble City" has not been broadcast for more than half of the time, Sun Yan has retracted freely in the play, and the vivid and vivid acting details have already triggered a lot of audience discussion.
In this humorous and funny part, Sun Yan said that he deliberately "played very big" in order to make the characters more plump, and the result was unexpectedly good results.
After Yu Yongyi got angry with Xiao Wu's wife, he danced to help Xiao Wu coax his wife back to his wife's "riot operation", which made people stunned and stoic. It is also a number of gods to assist Luo Jia and Zheng Taicheng's daughter Zheng Mengqi's love affair, and after being "shown" by Luo Jia and Dr. Lin a mouth of "dog food", can only be with the cute dog little black group CP, it is simply sad and funny. These details not only increase the interest of watching the play but also make the characters "stand up".
Sun Yan recalled that the scene that impressed him the most was Yu Yongyi's crying scene on the seaside after Xiao Wu's death, and this scene also touched many people, and many viewers said that they were going to cry after watching it. The first time Yu Yongyi saw Xiao Wu, he felt that he was another self in the world, they were like father and son, but also like good brothers, the two people fought together from the bottom, he was equivalent to Yu Yongyi's heart meat. He could give up anything in this life, but he couldn't give up On Xiao Wu. ”
This strong feeling adds a lot of difficulty to this scene, not to mention that it is in the environment of the seaside without any external assistance. The director's request to Sun Yan is that there is no line, but he has to cry emotionally, "I told the director that there is only one way, you don't tell me what lines Gao Zhiting really says, and don't let me see him before filming starts." Then when he came over and started saying his lines, I really felt the feeling of my heart being torn apart, and at the end of the shooting, the whole person was shaking. This extreme investment may also be what we often call the actor's reverence and "sense of faith" in the profession.
Actors have to keep absorbing like sponges
In the conversation, you can easily appreciate Sun Yan's sincere love for performance, and his self-discipline and dedication are not only reflected in the excavation and shaping of the role.
Before filming "Humble City", in order to get closer to the "lean and strong" appearance characteristics of the characters, he worked out for 6 months, and even after arriving at the crew, he has been continuing to train, "After we arrived at the crew, when there was no drama, it was basically to train firearms in the morning, train basic actions in the afternoon, and then go to the gym in the evening." Perhaps the biggest test of this play is that the weather in Malaysia is too hot, and it is dehydrated when it moves, often sweating madly while playing again, and then drinking water non-stop. ”
In this difficult environment, the powerful team in "Humble City" not only overcame the hardships, but also collided with many sparks while contributing superb acting skills. Sun Yan revealed that in the process of cooperating with Li Guangjie and Yuan Wenkang, he also absorbed a lot of professional knowledge and experience, "We will often communicate together, they will tell me 'this point I think is particularly good', 'this point I think I can add something on the basis of this', I will go back to think and change." This process is really very beneficial, and I think actors should be humble enough to listen to the good advice given to you by everyone around them. ”
Including Yu Yongyi's interesting interactions with Bai Zhenhe similar to "spoiling" and "flirting", many of them are the sudden flashes of inspiration between him and Yuan Wenkang when they played on the spot. "During the shooting, I found that although Baek Zhen hyuk was cold, he was particularly cute, and I wanted to tease him. After that, the two of us discussed, then can we establish a state where I tease him, but he can't take me, so I will touch his thighs after seeing him, jokingly touching his chest. In fact, it is to reflect the intimate relationship between the two through these detailed behaviors, and also make the characters more plump. ”
Since entering the industry, Sun Yan has always adhered to this "no ingenuity, meticulous" way of working, although there are not many works, but each character spans a large range, and solid, complete, leaving a deep impression.
Du Zhiyan, the son of a wealthy merchant in "No. 19 Huangliang Hutong", as one of the four young people of imperial grain, ignores law and discipline and is unruly; in "The Room of misery", Uncle Xu is gentle on the surface, but his behavior is strange and unpredictable; Qin Mi in "The Romance of the New Three Kingdoms" is arrogant and arrogant, but he is personable and clever.
Sun Yan has a complex temperament that can be retracted or released, between the temperament and literature and art, which also makes him more wide in his performance, or calm and calm, or wide open, and can be interpreted by him is remarkable and convincing. The emergence of "Yu Yongyi" is more like a kind of water after the precipitation of time, Sun Yan proved that he did not live up to this character with a high degree of completion of the performance, and the audience's recognition of "Yu Yongyi" also witnessed that good roles will be achieved with actors, and good actors will eventually be treated with tenderness.
