"When will Yan Yi receive the box lunch?" This is related to actor Ye Xiangming, the highest hot search.
Speaking of this, Ye Xiangming, who played Yan Yi in the TV series "Great Qin Fu", felt that it was too interesting, "Sometimes the audience is quite divided, they hope that you will quickly go offline, looking forward to Yan Yi being split by the car, and then go to see you on time every day to see what kind of demon you have done today." When you really receive a box lunch, it is the same group of people who run to your Weibo to leave a message, saying that you have no face value. ”

In Ye Xiangming's eyes, Yan Yi can not be regarded as a villain, just a tragic figure under the creation of history, he is illiterate, and most of his lines are vernacular, which follow the rules of history.
Yan Yi is not as stupid as people think, and with his experience, he is also growing and has his own judgment. A few days ago, Ye Xiangming accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Beijing News, telling about the concubine in his heart, and also responded to questions such as "there are too many dramas in Yan Yi".
Yan Yi in history: He was a tragic figure
——As your desires increase, you gradually go astray
In order to play the role of Yan Yi, actor Ye Xiangming did a lot of homework, as early as the audition, "I roughly understand the historical background of that period, including the process of this character from the beginning to the end." ”
In various historical records, Yan Yi is not a character worth singing, and in many historical documents or documentaries, this character is mostly described in general terms. From an objective point of view, Ye Xiangming has a preliminary judgment on Yan Yi: "First of all, he must be a very legendary figure, and this person in the historical record is actually not very good at describing him, but he is indeed a very important role in promoting the development of history, and he is also a tragic figure produced in such a transitional period." ”
In many historical stories or film and television works, Yan Yi is classified as a villain, but Ye Xiangming does not agree with such a definition, he feels that there is no absolute villain in film and television dramas, "just like you can't define Zhao Guo, those people are villains, I will still use 'tragic characters' to define him." ”
"At the beginning of man, nature is good", Ye Xiangming said, a character, in the end, what it becomes, must be affected by the environment, Yan Yi is with the enhancement of her own desires, gradually go astray, only to become uncontrollable.
The general image of Yan Yi in history is a framework for Ye Xiangming to portray the character of Yan Yi, "The rest also needs the actor to give this character flesh and blood, so that this character is plump and three-dimensional." ”
Yan Yi in the script: He is the most real person
- Do what you want, don't pretend, there is no city government
After reading the script, Ye Xiangming wanted to make Yan Yi more three-dimensional, and the most important thing was to clearly reflect the several periods of his changes before and after. On the one hand, it is the personal growth of Concubine Yi: from a royal guard who drove Lü Buwei and Yin Yiren back to the Qin Kingdom, later met Lü Buwei again, was sent to the palace to serve Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, and then fell in love with Zhao Ji and gave birth to two children. From a disguised temple man becoming a Changxin Marquis, and finally a rebellion with increasing desire, ye Xiangming hoped to present different levels through his eyes and state, "for example, at the beginning, the image of a big sunny boy, and finally his whole person became vicious. ”
Another important clue that reflects the changes that Yan Yi has experienced is his emotional line with Zhao Ji. "From the initial looking up, to the tenderness of love, to the later becoming the father of two sons, the feeling of being the head of the family has changed. And this change, from beginning to end, is the most real. ”
Ye Xiangming felt that in fact, in the whole play, Yan Yi was more like a real person, he and Zhao Ji were just an ordinary person, starting from the bottom, they were not politicians, there was no long-planned ambition, every stage of Yan Yi was how to do what he wanted, he would not disguise himself, and there were not so many city governments.
Some netizens complained that Yan Yi had no culture and did not even know the words. Ye Xiangming felt that this was in line with history, "his origin determines that he cannot be a polymath." If he was very knowledgeable and had a city government, how could Lü Buwei rest assured that he would be placed next to Zhao Ji? He definitely felt that Yan Yi and Zhao Ji couldn't make any waves. ”
In Ye Xiangming's view, it is precisely because of yan Yi's origin and temperament that he and Zhao Ji fell in love and gave birth to two children, "In fact, their fates are basically the same, they are both grassroots, driven by fate to have power that they can't control, and finally they are at the end of the road." ”
The actor's heart: he is not a stupid person
He had to rebel, or his whole family would die
In "Great Qin Fu", Ye Xiangming also added his own judgment and understanding of Yan Yi. "In the original script, Yan Yi was written as an idiot in the later stages, and I deliberately argued about this."
He said that even if he is a very low-level person, with his rise and power, more and more people around him, he has begun to have his own judgment. This kind of growth may not be as good as those of the more intelligent, but at least it is better than himself," including the rebellion, Yan Yi mentioned several times to find her own children, which made the character more three-dimensional. What he really wanted to protect was his two children and his own woman, and he had to rebel or his whole family would have to die. ”
Ye Xiangming
One of Ye Xiangming's favorite scenes is when Yan Yi sees two children being thrown to death in front of him, "Unfortunately, it was deleted in the end." It was almost Ye Xiangming's most laborious scene, the night before the shooting, he did not sleep all night, and he was thinking about how he should express it, "I have not experienced this kind of thing, I can only combine some things to associate, and I have watched a lot of film and television works." "When a person sees a loved one fall to his death in front of him, he definitely does not accept it, and there is no time to react to crying, he resists. So when filming this scene, he was always stuck there, immersed in emotions, "just stuck at a point, but never broke out." Until the director shouted "click", came over and asked Ye Xiangming: Is it okay? "I was in tears when I said it was okay, and I thought actors should adjust themselves quickly, but I couldn't stop crying." After the scene was filmed, Ye Xiangming fell asleep from four o'clock in the afternoon until the next morning, "I was really tired." ”
Respond to disputes
Beijing News: Many viewers feel that there are too many scenes in Yan Yi, what do you think?
Ye Xiangming: "There are too many dramas in Yan Yi" This matter is also on the hot search, I deliberately talked to the screenwriter, we think there are indeed some things that can not all listen to netizens.
This drama is called "Great Qin Fu", which is about the affairs of the Qin State, not only about the matter of Qin Shi Huang alone, in that context, the rebellion of Yan Yi was the most important thing before the crowning of the Yingzheng, including the Lü Buwei chaos run by the Yingzheng himself, these two things had a driving effect on his growth. The struggle between Yin Zheng and Lü Buwei, Yan Yi is an important chess piece, there are too many people involved, Yin Zheng, Lü Buwei, Zhao Ji, Li Si, everyone is because of the matter of Yan Yi before and after a lot of contradictions and historical events, this matter is not clear, many of the later links are not understood, the audience can not experience everyone's psychological changes, and Yan Yi's role is actually concentrated in this link, not a lot.
Beijing News: Some netizens complained that there were too many vernacular words in the scenes of Zhao Ji and Yan Yi.
Ye Xiangming: This is actually considered by the creators, all the characters in it are large paragraphs of ancient texts, if all of them are such lines, the audience will not be able to see it, and even the actors have to react to the very strange text for half a day. TV dramas, even if they are serious dramas and historical dramas, are also things that entertain the audience after tea and dinner, so we feel that we must also have a certain proportion of vernacular. Yan Yi and Zhao Ji are the least literate here, and in fact, they also follow history.
Beijing News: This play gathers a lot of excellent actors, will you have pressure on the performance?
Ye Xiangming: No, because after acting for so many years, I am also an "old actor". When I made the movie "Chasing the Dragon 2" before, I worked with Gu Tianle, Leung Ka Fai, and Ren Dahua, no matter how famous you are as an actor or how big your wrist is, as long as you start the camera, everyone is a role in the play, there is no high and low, only the high and low of the role, so I think this aspect is not a problem, and there will be no pressure. Of course, filming with these excellent actors is a very enjoyable thing, and the opponent will be strong and enjoy acting himself.
