Pei Pei, a female middle school student who once spoke fluent Cantonese in the movie "Over Spring", has now been transformed into Mai Miao, a strong and independent northwest female representative in "Mountains and Seas". Actor Huang Yao, whose ancestral home is Guangdong, in order to play Mai Miao, from learning the northwest dialect word by word, to being able to blurt out dialect lines, it has really put a lot of effort.
Three years old for the first time on stage, after graduating from high school successfully admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, Huang Yao this road seems to be very smooth, but after being admitted to the Chinese opera, she has become more and more self-doubting, it is the movie "Over spring" that makes her find the feeling of acting again, "I am a slightly bland person, to release some more." ”
Huang Yao
By imitating Song Dandan, he won the opportunity to star
The TV series "Mountains and Seas" tells the story of the relocation and exploration of the development of the people of Xihaigu in Ningxia under the guidance of national policies. In the play, Mai Miao, played by Huang Yao, represents the first batch of women who came to Fujian from Ningxia to work, and they have achieved certain results after going out, but finally chose to return to their hometown to participate in reconstruction.
During the preparation of the play, the production team always wanted to find an actor who could speak the Northwest dialect for Mai Miao. Huang Yao, who was born in Foshan, Guangdong Province, although he knew that the success rate was very low, he still recorded an audition clip with the encouragement of the team. She picked up a monologue by Tian Xiao'e in the drama "White Deer Plain", learning word by word, "Learning is the performance of the renyi version of Teacher Song Dandan, recording about thirty articles, only to make no mistakes." It was also the most reshooted and painful of my audition clips. Huang Yao said with a bitter smile.
However, Huang Yao soon received a notice to meet with the director team and finally decided to star in the play. Because all the performances in the play need to use dialects, language barrier has become Huang Yao's biggest challenge. In addition to finding a language teacher, she also asked the locals, "When you integrate into the local environment and talk and communicate with the Northwest actors every day, you quickly adapt." ”
In the TV series "Mountains and Seas", Huang Yao played Mai Miao.
Solving the dialect problem, another thing that makes Huang Yao slightly weak is the age span of the characters, from a teenage girl to 40 years old, where there is a slight sense of age, the heart is still a bit unpopular, "the feeling of treating children and motherhood is not particularly accurate, and it will be a little weak." ”
Playing father and daughter with Zu Feng, comfortable and relaxed
The role of Mai Miao plays the main line of labor export in the play, although it is a typical rural girl, it is different from other girls. She was one of the first young people to go out of Minning and leave her hometown to venture out into the world. "To use a popular phrase to describe, Mai Miao is a representative of an independent woman, she did not put marriage and love first, a bit of the meaning of starting a business first and then starting a family."
Huang Yao found that many female characters in the script will cry when they are aggrieved, sad and angry, but Mai Miao is not a girl who uses tears to solve problems, "so Mai Miao does not cry much, even if she has a lot of emotional fluctuations, she does not express it in a passionate way." ”
In "Mountains and Seas", Zu Feng played Huang Yao's father. At the shooting scene, his control of details left a deep impression on Huang Yao, "He is really meticulous enough not only to take care of his own parts, but also to worry about props, group performances, and the lines of the opponent actors." Will be very patient to tell others which place can be better. There is a scene about the scene that Mai Miao chose to return to her hometown, the father and daughter ate together, and at the beginning there was a gambling mood, and then the two of them talked a lot, and they both untied their hearts, "I think that in that scene, we were both in a particularly engaged state, very comfortable and relaxed, and I really knew my father's intentions at that moment." ”
——Life Affairs——
Stepping into the door of the Chinese opera, the confidence was broken
Huang Yao's mother is an actress in the Guangdong Foshan Repertory Theatre, and she has always been full of curiosity and yearning for the stage. "The uncles and aunts around me, as soon as they come on stage, it's like a changed person, and sometimes I rehearse skits with them."
When she was three years old, Huang Yao appeared on the local TV station alone and participated in the recording of a children's program, and she still remembers telling a small story of more than 2 minutes at that time. At the age of 9, she performed a full sketch for the first time. When he was a student, Huang Yao was even more of a literary and artistic activist, singing and dancing. And the real idea of becoming an actress, or before the university entrance examination, under the advice of the seniors of her mother's troupe, she applied for the Central Academy of Drama.
If before being admitted to the Chinese opera, Huang Yao was still full of ambition for the actor's profession, when she really began to enter the Chinese opera, she suddenly became confused. "There are too many excellent people, and the confidence of the whole person is shattered in an instant, and it has not been picked up for several years." After graduation, Huang Yao seemed to have been wandering for more than a year, during which time it was not smooth to participate in the interviews of various crews, and she has not been very confident about being a good actor. Until she received the notification of the movie "Over spring".
Stills from the movie "Over the Spring"
In the film, Huang Yao played a middle school student Pei Pei who accidentally became a "tool" of the mobile phone smuggling gang, and she also won the best actress of the Pingyao International Film Festival for starring in the film, "'Over Spring' made me enjoy the joy of acting again, I could feel that I was invested in it, immersed in it, and when I finished filming, I grew a breath: I actually finished." ”
However, before the broadcast of "Mountains and Seas", the audience's understanding of Huang Yao may come more from last year's hit drama "The Silent Truth". In the play, Huang Yao plays a key character in the original work, the only survivor of the case, female reporter Zhang Xiaoqian. There are not many appearances, but each time it will promote the development of the plot. In order to play this role well, Huang Yao once went to the Beijing News to experience life, "it was proposed by the director, because I wanted to play a newspaper reporter, and before that I was a little unfamiliar with traditional paper media." ”
In "The Silent Truth", Huang Yao played the key role of reporter Zhang Xiaoqian.
Recalling the experience of going out to interview with a reporter who ran the legal line of the Beijing News, Huang Yao said, "That is also a very young girl." However, the interview was not smooth, and the interview time was originally scheduled, but it was temporarily pushed away by the interviewee, and the documents were checked, and finally ate the closed door. However, this also makes Huang Yao really feel the problems that reporters will encounter when working, "The young reporter who touched me the most was the young reporter, she looked very student, in fact, it was not the same as the image of the female reporter I imagined, but after encountering things, she was particularly energetic, and I also brought her strength to the role." ”
