In the popular drama some time ago, I believe that the TV series "Fengyi" has been loved by many viewers, and for all kinds of roles, I think everyone is still fresh in their minds.
In this drama of constant disputes between the court and the court, if you want to say that the most complex character color, it must be the Liang Hao Emperor Pang Tong, played by Cui Peng, who combines deep affection and sorrow, which can be described as making thousands of viewers love and hate, both painful and regretful.
As the king of a country, Pang Tong seems to hold the power of the world, but in fact, he still has to constantly confront the ambitious eldest princess, and the deceit above the court is far beyond everyone's imagination. In the deep palace, he is a king with the highest power, but at the same time a lonely ordinary person.
Until the moment he met the heroine Ye Ningzhi, Pang Tong's gray life was like a beam of light in an instant, perhaps this was his destined love.
Unfortunately, between Pang Tong and Ye Ningzhi, the story of "he loves her, she does not love him" is staged, and such a character setting is also doomed to a tragic ending.
"This king with mortal dreams saw his heart through Ye Ningzhi and saw the real and vivid life that his heart longed for. Liking Ye Ningzhi is The yearning of Emperor Liang Hao's heart for natural innocence, freedom and uninhibited, simple and kind. From the perspective of the role, Cui Peng admitted that in fact, in the depths of Pang Tong's heart, he longed more for the ordinary life of ordinary people, rather than sitting on the cold throne, and the appearance of Ye Ningzhi just awakened his yearning for innocence and freedom.
In the process of chasing the drama, the audience can also deeply feel that although Pang Tong's identity is still the emperor who is high above when facing Ye Ningzhi, the subtle emotions revealed by the corners of his eyes are completely different, there is tenderness, trust, appreciation, and pleasure, which is in stark contrast to his deep gloom above the court.
For the handling of this subtle emotion, it can be said that Cui Peng grasped it just right in the process of deduction, not only retaining his identity characteristics, but also showing his concern for Ye Ningzhi very naturally.
But it is regrettable that this is a love that is doomed to be fruitless, although Pang Tong did his best to take care of Ye Ningzhi, and even tried to do everything possible to keep her by his side and make her a concubine, but in the end he could not get Ye Ningzhi's heart.
From love to anger, and then to paranoia in anger. At the same time, as the situation in the court became increasingly tense, Pang Tong gradually understood that although he tried hard to be a good emperor, the reality could not be what he wanted. When an idealist is constantly hit hard by reality, the power in Ponton's hands eventually swallows him up, making him drift away on the road of irritability and loss of control, and gradually forget his original intention.
The character of Pang Tong can be said to have very distinct advantages and disadvantages, he has a bright side, but also has a dark side, combined, people can't help but have a very complex feeling for him. Therefore, in the process of chasing the drama, many viewers feel that his performance in the later stage is very disappointing, and even says that he has a "scum emperor" temperament; but many viewers feel that this is the real face that a character should have, not a simple and flawless good person, not a completely faceless bad person, half angel and half devil Attributes are more touching.
In the face of the different attitudes of netizens, Cui Peng said that in the final analysis, Pang Tong is not a person suitable for being an emperor, but he was born in the imperial family, and the push of fate allowed him to have the supreme power that no one can get, but at the same time, he also endured the endless torture and pain brought by this shackle.
"If he's an ordinary person, he can certainly create something extraordinary in the ordinary." I feel sorry for him because he is 'real' and has the strengths and weaknesses of a real person. In Cui Peng's view, Pang Tong has done a lot of good things, but he has also done a lot of things, there are hateful things, but there are more sad points, which can be summed up as "the original intention is very good, the ability is insufficient, ten years of anbang, a chaotic world, mixed achievements."
In the face of Pang Tong's step-by-step transformation, the audience looks at both pain and emotion in the eyes, and for Cui Peng, who shapes Pang Tong, he has completely entered the inner world of the characters and understood the pain and helplessness of the characters, thus presenting such a layered image of the king for everyone.
For the audience, Pang Tong in "Fengyi" can be described as a satisfactory answer sheet he handed to everyone in the first half of this year, and looking back at the various roles that Cui Peng has created from entering the industry to the present, there is definitely more than one role that can score full marks.
Among them, to say that the most impressive and most memorable to the audience is the little white dragon Yao Lie in the TV series "Naked Son Riding the Dragon" and the flowerless in "Chu Liuxiang", and these two roles can also be said to have become the classic roles in major costume dramas.
I still remember the first sight of the little white dragon in "Naked Dragon", the audience was immediately attracted to this role, until now everyone directly called him a person who surprised the time.
Although the little white dragon has a blackened transformation in the later stage and has done a lot of bad things, it still can't stop the strong charm of the character.
Later, the flowerless flowers in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" were described by the audience as having the effect of "shocking the heavens".
From the styling to the details of the interpretation, it can be said that the image of the flowerless is very fascinating, and when the TV series was broadcast that year, it was definitely a countless circle of fans. At the same time, Wuhua's ambitious and positive and evil image has also become one of the biggest highlights of the whole play.
Even the appearance of the monk does not hide the arrogance of his body at all, on the contrary, it has a kind of elegant and otherworldly aura.
For the audience, the reason why Wuhua can make everyone remember it to this day, in addition to the prominence of the appearance, is also due to Cui Peng's delicate interpretation of the character. It can be said that every move of Wuhua's hand and foot vividly shows Cui Peng's accurate grasp of the character.
Xiao Bailong and Wuhua, such two roles, are not only indelible classics in the hearts of the audience, but also two very meaningful roles in Cui Peng's acting path. "They represent my turning point from youth to maturity, represent my original intention." For Cui Peng, being able to have two roles that have always been remembered by the audience is a blessing as an actor, and it is a great happiness, he said that it is this role with different images that makes him become his current self, and these roles have become a part of his life.
Of course, after the little white dragon and the flowerless, the audience is deeply felt that the label on Cui Peng's body is far more than the "costume male god", he is a highly malleable actor, almost acting like anything, every time will bring everyone a new feeling and surprise, which is a well-deserved "drama throwing face".
He can be Ling Fengwu in "The Believer",
It can be Xian Xinghai in "Eastern Battlefield",
It can be Yin Jianping in "New Gan Nineteen Sisters",
It can be the Star Seal Pool in "Kyushu Sky City",
It can be Furukawa in "Breaking the Sky",
It can be Wu Pengfei in "Divine Dog Raider",
It can also be the Pang Tong in "Fengyi" today.
In different works, each of his performances shows a new side for the audience.
In the years since he entered the industry, Cui Peng has always been a very low-key actor, and for him, the greatest happiness is to shape each role steadily. Under the play, he is a person who likes to try new things and yearns for freedom, going diving, hiking, going to the sea, camping, going to different places to meet different people, in his words, this can also be regarded as the realization of "the accumulation of image materials" in real life.
As an actor, Cui Peng believes that the most important thing is to "never lose that fire", he said that people always have something that can be surging with blood for life, although the road to acting will always have ups and downs, but still remember to protect the most vivid original intention, "if born like duckweed, then go with the play." ”
In the past two years, Cui Peng's works have hardly been interrupted, of course, this also means that he will have a large wave of works to meet the audience next. In addition to "Fengyi" some time ago and "Chen Xi Yuan" that is now broadcasting, there are also "Old Girlfriend", "Tianlong Babu", "Douluo Continent", "Running to Yan'an", "Qing Yu Nian", "Midnight Song", "Heavy Fire on the Moon" and many other works with different themes, Presumably we can see his wonderful performance on the screen again.
In the interview, Cui Peng sighed that the play was performed for time to see. As an actor, it is to learn to precipitate yourself in the years, to temper yourself in one work after another, perhaps after many years, many things have changed, but the classic role will definitely stay in the audience's heart.
Cui Peng's fans have hoped that the years can be gentle to their "little white dragon" ~ and for such a down-to-earth, excellent actor, we can be sure that the years will definitely stop for him one classic role after another. I look forward to Cui Peng's continuous bringing us more amazing characters!
Cass Interview
Super Cass: The Emperor Pang Tong you played in "Fengyi" left a deep impression on everyone, and the level of this role is also very distinct, from Renjun to the Belly Black Emperor. Some netizens said that his "scum emperor" temperament in the later period was too heavy and somewhat distorted, and some people felt that although he was noble as a king, he could be honored and noble for Ai Lun, knew how to be perfect, and was a "temperamental person" worthy of trust, such a transformation was very real. Can you objectively evaluate Ponton?
Cui Peng: China has experienced 2132 years from the ascension of Qin Shi Huang to the Xinhai Revolution in 221 AD. There were a total of 494 emperors in the feudal dynasty during this period, and if the throne is regarded as a kind of "work" with a long history, I personally think that Pang Tong may have entered the wrong line. If he is an ordinary person, he can certainly create something extraordinary in the ordinary. Pang Tong has his ideal ambitions, so in the early stages he was an accomplished Mingjun, with a benevolent and righteous side, which was very pleasing. But the court is not a jianghu, can not be happy to take revenge, do anything must weigh the pros and cons, he has the supreme power, but also controlled by power, so it is inevitable to lose control, so in the later stage will become a grumpy and irritable king. His transformation is heart-wrenching. I feel sorry for him because he is "real" and has the strengths and weaknesses of a real person. He knew what an ideal monarch was, and in the beginning he worked hard to become an ideal monarch. But slowly he found that being an emperor was not as simple as he thought. He struggled hard, but he also compromised again and again, so that this character has layers, and finally he changed from a brilliant mingjun to a paranoid and irritable emperor, and the process of this transformation is very real, because his pain and happiness at each stage are sincere, giving people a real emotional power. Therefore, objectively speaking, pang Tong, as a king, has a very good original intention, lacks ability, ten years of an anbang, a chaotic dynasty, and has done mixed things.
Super Cass: Some viewers also said that Ponton was a charismatic man with both affection and sadness. How do you understand the sadness and affection in Pontonne?
Cui Peng: I think the so-called affection and sadness are just a real feeling for this character.
In fact, Emperor Liang Hao never thought about whether to show affection or compassion for the world? He is real at every stage, really trying, to change, to love, but "powerless", it feels like an idealist deviating from his original intention under the impact of reality. That's why it reflects what everyone calls sadness. A true flesh-and-blood person becomes an emperor, and is destined to usher in a conflict that cannot be avoided with love and with the homeland. In that conflict, he will show the shining side of mortal human nature, and he can also force out the dark side of human nature. So the word "real" is my understanding of Pantone. He is a real man, not a face-making emperor, he is half angel and half devil, progressively advancing the black and white and gray of human nature and transforming it into a complexity. Even if he changed from the "good emperor" in the early period to the "bad emperor" that everyone saw, his heart was good, so he would treat the people he loved well. It embodies a heart-wrenching affection. The world is not black and white, and good and evil are not so clear, but in the end, being able to hold a little light of human nature is the biggest charm of the character of Ponton. He combines hope, love, tolerance, responsibility and jealousy, weakness, hatred, evil, so that everyone will be distressed, and there will be affectionate and tragic discussions.
Super Cass: So what do you think attracted Ponton? Why did he show the kind of affection that did not conform to his identity?
Cui Peng: It is difficult to say clearly about loving someone, and what can be said clearly is not love. If you have to give the reason why Pang Tong is attracted to Ye Ningzhi. I tend to be that this king with mortal dreams saw his own heart through Ye Ningzhi and saw the real and vivid life that his heart longed for. Falling in love with someone is also falling in love with her way of life. The harem beauty is like a cloud, but only Ye Ningzhi shines with self-brilliance. The imperial power is surging in the shadows, and only Ye Ningzhi is simple and kind and trustworthy. Liking Ye Ningzhi is The yearning of Emperor Liang Hao's heart for natural innocence, freedom and uninhibited, simple and kind.
Super Cass: With the last question, ask a more personal question. Is your personal concept of love similar to that of Emperor Liang Hao? Do you like his love at first sight, or do you fall in love for a long time?
Cui Peng: Well... I have to think about this question. I think that "love at first sight" and "long-term love" are not contradictory, and with the good feelings of the first sight, there will be the possibility of further getting along. With the accumulation of time and the deepening of understanding, love at first sight will be transformed into long-term love. Personally, I think such feelings are more mature and reliable. Acting is the same, at first glance this role I like very much, when you really fit into this role, after understanding his joys and sorrows, just like it is not enough. You need time to really put yourself in it, and then you can't stop wanting it, so "long-term love" is the only way from liking to loving deeply. I've seen the phrase "It takes 30 days for a woman to really fall in love with a man, while it only takes 5 minutes for a man to fall in love with a woman." "I don't know if it is ancient and modern universal Ha." Emperor Liang Hao's love at first sight to true love to long-term waiting is actually the embodiment of love at first sight to long-term love. When did you really fall in love? Maybe even he doesn't know it, but his honest body unconsciously exposes his fiery heart, and I think this is true love.
Super Cass: You just said that your love for the character is also attracted from the beginning, and then from the surface and the inside, in the accumulation of time more and more invested. So what kind of roles will you be attracted to, or what kind of roles would you rather meet?
Cui Peng: For the role, a role has a character's fate, and for the actor, each role has the challenge of each role. I'm grateful for every character I've met before, and it's by challenging them that I've become who I am now. In fact, for actors, the role is not good or bad, only suitable or inappropriate. And what is suitable? What makes you break through and inspires you to challenge is the fit, and what has the space to tap into humanity and enrich the personal characteristics that shows your personal characteristics is wonderful. After acting for so many years and being able to portray so many roles, I feel fortunate and happy. I hope that in the future, I will have more opportunities to play roles that jump out of my own image, jump out of my comfort zone, and lead me to constantly break through and bring me more passion.
Super Cass: From the little white dragon in "Naked Dragon Ride" to the flowerless flower in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", the audience thinks that you are young, affectionate, black, and ya. B station fans are even more lamented that you are "the kind of handsome with flesh and blood", saying that you can control all roles, not only can play a good costume male god, but also good at "uniform seduction", what do you think of these evaluations? Which of those characters loved by fans and audiences is your personal favorite?
Cui Peng: Acting is a profession that is constantly recognized and constantly denied and constantly compared. Having played so many roles can be remembered, discussed, and appreciated, which is a great happiness for an actor. Each character has a meaning to each character, and as I said before, they made me who I am now, and they are a part of my life. If I had to choose, I might choose Little White Dragon and No Flower. This is not a reference to "the courage of the year". Rather, they represent my turning point from youth to maturity. It represents my original intention. There are still fans and viewers who still miss them like me, which makes me feel real happiness from this virtual character. This kind of emotional memory is extremely precious, and after many years, perhaps the appearance and reputation have been lost, but they have left the role, and they let me know that the play is for time to see.
Super Cass: Your words are very touching, so from the beginning of the industry to the present, what has touched you most deeply in the actor industry?
Cui Peng: Many people say that actors are passively chosen. I don't agree, and I feel that the so-called "passive selection" is just a kind of "recognition" in the early stage of casting. Actors always have to take the initiative to feel, to invest, to discover. Never lose that fire. People must always have something to be passionate about when they are alive! Although this road is undulating and thorny, it is still necessary to sing and move forward to protect the most vivid heart! If you are born like duckweed, then go with the play.
Super Cass: So what does your personal life status look like, apart from your life in the play? What kind of life do you yearn for? Do you have any hobbies?
Cui Peng: The life in the play is more dramatic, and my life has always been in a state of enriching my life with hobbies. Because I like a lot of things, such as diving, hiking, going to sea, camping. I prefer to be outdoors and go to different places to meet different people. Enjoy the oxygen bars in the sun, wander the earth, and go to places you haven't been before. To use industry terminology to describe, in fact, I realized the "accumulation of image materials" in real life. In addition to outdoor activities, the rest are some normal things in life, swimming and fitness, composing and writing songs, photography and reading books, watching movies and dramas, party cooking, etc.
Super Cass: Your life is as colorful, fascinating, and challenging as your work, and you've barely been idle in the last two years, so what's next to meet the audience?
Cui Peng: The urban emotional heart-warming work "Old Girlfriend" co-starring with director Qiao Liang before is something I personally look forward to. There are also new "Tianlong Eight Parts" last year, as well as "Douluo Continent", "Running to Yan'an", "Qing Yu Nian", "Midnight Song", "Heavy Fire on the Moon" and "Chen Xi Yuan" and other works that are now broadcast.
