Interview | Wu Haochen: Another look of a young actor

The main actor of "Langya List of Wind Rising Changlin" attended the press conference, and the first on the right was Wu Haochen.

The press conference of "The Wind rises in the Long Forest" was held in a large venue of the Shanghai International Convention Center, and it was full of people. The actors interacted with the host on stage, sometimes telling jokes and sometimes playing games. Wu Haochen, as one of the main actors, is also on the stage, but if you observe it carefully, you can find that he is obviously empty. Others are quite accustomed to the rhythm of the host, throwing out materials that are of interest to the media audience, and joking to enliven the atmosphere by the way. However, Wu Haochen was not good at this.

After coming down, Wu Haochen admitted: "There are still too few participants [on this occasion]. ”

The questions that the media and the audience are keen to ask, it is difficult to escape the filming of interesting things, the crew gossip, but this is the question that Wu Haochen is most afraid to answer.

The reporter told him: "Let's start with the role first." ”

Wu Haochen's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief: "Finally start from this to ask." ”

However, the staff did the opposite, advising him: "Don't just talk about the role." ”

After a few words, the reporter understood where the staff's "worry" came from. As a person born in 1994, Wu Haochen's personality and interests are indeed not in line with everyone's imagination of boys of this age. Hearing him talk about performance, he seriously compared the predecessors and classics to "brilliant lighthouses", chatted about the daily life full of feelings after reading, post-performance talks, viewing feelings and drinking tea to nourish his heart on Weibo, talking about drama and performance, he spoke extremely quickly and endlessly, and Wu Haochen, who was silent at the press conference, was almost like two people.

"Isn't it quite like '94?" One of the most common things we ask him in private is, are you really '94? After the end, the staff sent the reporter out, and told the reporter about Xiao Wu's daily life.

"Do a quick question and answer, the reporter asked him what book to recommend, he said "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty". Isn't that nice, let's go down the question. As a result, he said: I'm joking, in fact, recently there is a xxxxx bar la la la... And the whole passage down, I didn't even remember the title of the book. ”

Wu Haochen just graduated from Chinese opera this year, in fact, his face is popular with several TV series of noonday sun, and many viewers are not strangers: Ying Qin in "Ode to Joy", Xizi in "The Spirit of ghost blowing lights in the ancient city", and Xiao Yuanqi in the anti-number one in "The Wind Rises in the Long Forest" of "Langya List".

Debuting in the first film and television drama role, Wu Haochen played the scene of the noonday sun: playing a Japanese officer in "The Pretender", and Hu Ge had an opponent.

It was the winter vacation of the sophomore year, obediently following the advice of the teacher to "do something related to performance during the holiday", Wu Haochen wanted to go to the group to do a group performance, just in time to meet the "Pretender" shooting. When following the group, he did not take the initiative to fight, so he moved a small stool to sit next to this field, sitting for a day, no nonsense. Director Li Xue saw that this child did not speak, always followed by, and then threw a scene for him to act, and after the performance was not bad, he recommended Wu Haochen to Hou Hongliang and Kong Sheng. As soon as they met, both sides still felt that the aura was very compatible, and in this way, Wu Haochen, who was still a student, actually signed a contract with the noonday sunshine smoothly.

Asked him what kind of aura he was, Wu Haochen also felt that it was difficult to explain: "I feel comfortable just sitting there." Then they may be more comfortable looking at me as well. This is relatively rare, because many people in my life may not feel very comfortable. ”

"Why is it uncomfortable?"

"It's just not so happy, it's just annoying."

Wu Haochen said that when he took the exam in the middle of the play, he stood in the examination room with a very "annoying" look.

He demonstrated to the reporter on the spot: with his neck raised, his eyes raised high, and there was no smile on his face, "What will other teachers think of this boy?" Don't want to learn? ”

Fortunately, Teacher Liu Tianchi saw that this boy was nervous and tried to cover up his inner panic with high coldness, so he tried to dispel the public opinion: "You guys, take in and teach me, do you use you?" So, Wu Haochen was recruited into the Chinese opera.

Wu Haochen's personality is calmer and introverted than his peers, and he is not keen on communication. When filming "The Wind rises in the long forest of Langya List", the group shooting, the C group has a period of time, the main actor is Wu Haochen, the director in charge of this group is Li Xue. Among the two directors Kong Sheng and Li Xue, Li Xue is the one with a straighter temper and more explosive temper. The other leading actors said: Haochen is too difficult, he is alone in a group, and Xue Ge's requirements are still so strict.

"But I didn't find it difficult at all."

Wu Haochen felt very comfortable with Li Xue, although Li Xue was strict with him, but it made him feel solid. "I tell you the truth, in fact, after I finish filming "Ode to Joy" and go out, I can feel what kind of drama I take, and the kindness of others to you. But back here, you can be whatever you want, and even give you a two-fold discount and then urge you to have more room to move forward. ”

Li Xue's supervision of Wu Haochen is all-round, as the lead actor, the crew will arrange some better treatment according to the convention, such as better hotels and meals. Wu Haochen did not shirk and accepted these treatments normally. Li Xue actually looked very unpleasant, Wu Haochen saw it, and when he asked, Li Xue said, "You moved here to live with us!" ”

"I can see what Snow Brother means, because they actually live in the station, and we live in the hotel." The next day, Wu Haochen moved to the station. "I can understand his intentions. He is expressing: You have not suffered hardships, and after you were expelled from college by us, you were quite smooth. ”

Li Xueping liked to tell Wu Haochen about their previous studies in Laoshan Ying and With Kong Sheng, with the intention of reminding Wu Haochen.

"He thinks you're a young man, don't think that some of the things you get are something you take for granted, even if it seems like everyone has it, you have to subtract some of yourself, which is the practice of smart people." 」

Talking to Wu Haochen is actually a very interesting thing, he will let people see another look of the "young actor" who has recently been on the cusp of the storm. Audiences can still explore the acting skills of young actors without lowering their standards, and young actors can also present real individual characteristics and independent thinking, without being defined by simple labels and people.

Young actors can still surprise us.

"The Wind rises from the Long Forest" tidbits, Wu Haochen and Kong Sheng

【Dialogue】

The Paper: This year, there are some actors who play villains particularly well, and their villain roles are recognized by everyone, but at the same time, their Weibo has been attacked by many viewers. There is a lot of insults, is there such a worry?

Wu Haochen: Don't worry, you allow the audience to watch your play with your heart. No way, in this Internet age, everyone can speak, and you can't control it. Indeed, I think we should guide everyone to an objective position, just look at such a work, then look at the play itself. But I think the actors themselves, the public's evaluation you have to learn to identify, good evaluation is not exaggerated, is not too prestigious; that bad evaluation, is not people really pointed out your business problems. And if it's just emotionally disagreeing with your role, I think as long as it is reasonable, it is also a side proof of the success of the actor's performance. If it's just an emotional catharsis, I don't think there's anything I can do, I can only ignore it.

The Paper: You said that you have to learn to distinguish some "excessive reputation" from others, but this is actually very difficult to distinguish, especially since we are a humane society, wherever you may go, no one will say to your face that you are not good.

Wu Haochen: Then follow your feelings and subtract three points, that is, if you hear a good evaluation, you will always subtract three points. People say that you are seven points good, you think that you are four points good, people have already exaggerated to ten points, then maybe I only have seven points. Subtracting three points down is to leave room for yourself, this thing is full of no.

The Paper: But it is difficult for young people to maintain such an objective attitude.

Wu Haochen: It's quite difficult, so you should always remind yourself to be alert and restrained. Because it is true that the predecessors are good, the audience is also good, and there is too much protection and tolerance for us. Therefore, I must have a scale in my heart, know that I am still young, the road is still long, and slowly learn.

Surging News: In terms of acting skills, perhaps everyone's expectations for young actors are relatively low, will you feel that under such a big environment, the pressure is not so great.

Wu Haochen: No, the pressure is still very high. I can only talk about my current age stage, and what kind of state of mind I will reach in the future as I get older, I don't know. Then I don't feel a little pressure at this stage now, this pressure is not a bad thing, this pressure is a spur: there are so many bright beacons in front of you leading you, you have to go in that direction. You know, there's a lot you're not doing right now, and you can't get into a complacent state first. It is very important to have an objective and fair evaluation of the role you play, the closer the evaluation is to be accurate, in fact, the higher your skill, which also belongs to the category of actor business.

The Paper: Your Weibo is basically sharing the books you read, the dramas you watch, and these things, of which I am more impressed by two, one is that when you watched Dazaiji's "Human Disqualification", you shared: "Cowards are even afraid of happiness, they will be hurt when they touch cotton, and sometimes they are hurt by happiness." Why is this sentence so touching?

Wu Haochen: Aquarius (laughs). In fact, sometimes literature can provide you with a perspective, at present I like this stage more, in following the plot and the author's brush strokes to spend an experience, suddenly he will give you a sentence, this sentence can break through the perspective of your own story, he gave you another perspective, and opened a new pattern, which will make you very impressed. Maybe he opened up a field of thought that you never had, or maybe you had a corner of your mind that you had, but never realized it existed, and was awakened by this sentence.

The Paper: Do you think this thing will help you in your performance?

Wu Haochen: I think it is very helpful for performance. Because performance, to put it more subtly, is a dialogue between one person and another person's soul, there must be enough nutrients, enough space to accommodate it to touch it, the larger the contact surface, the better. But it will also make me a little calmer and more introverted in my life.

The Paper: I can understand it as that you are happy to broaden some of the channels and ways in which you feel life, and then present it in your performance. But when you broaden these channels, you are more of a private way, such as reading.

Wu Haochen: This kind of thing must be private, in addition to the particularly private way, I may think there are one or two other ways.

The Paper: One or two, what is this?

Wu Haochen: The most obvious must be at the student stage, and the communication with the teacher is a kind of inheritance. There is also a kind of mutual competition with peers, this kind of growth. Other than that, I feel more like a private process.

The Paper: Then it is also your Weibo, you said that "in the entertainment era, in fact, seriousness is often isolated", what is the point that triggered this idea?

Wu Haochen: This is a very real feeling for me. I went to a gathering of friends, everyone had not seen each other for a long time, one of them talked about his recent work and life feelings, he was instantly overwhelmed when he first started, other people were talking about funny things, telling jokes, and this stubble was quickly folded. The second time he thought of his head, he was folded again. I could feel that he was actually in a very lonely state, I couldn't find anyone to listen to him, I actually wanted to hear him speak, he always wanted to express, but he was always drowned out by those laughter.

And then what the others said, I didn't remember. I remembered a few of the little things he said. I think he had a lot to say to his friends, but the friends didn't realize it.

So I had a deep feeling at the time, and at night I wrote "In the era of entertainment, seriousness is often isolated." I didn't stand up and speak at that time, I didn't say, "You're all quiet, listen to him." In fact, you can't talk about it in that atmosphere.

The Paper: Sometimes people are trapped by that atmosphere.

Wu Haochen: Absolutely. So why I say that learning is a private matter. Because you will not be coerced, your thinking will be independent and will not be disturbed and affected.

The Paper: You just graduated this year, do you have any feelings about graduation?

Wu Haochen: Graduation is a god of shaking. I'm not relieved right now.

The Paper: So what do you miss the most? Is it the state of being a student?

Wu Haochen: It is to give you an environment to play what you want to play unscrupulously. You know that if you want to meet a suitable book, it is still quite difficult, and it is a two-way choice. In college, you can do the plays you want to do every day, no one cares about you, you can do it. If you don't want to do it, don't line up. You want to queue up, make sure that the teachers and classmates accompany you.

The Paper: So the thing you miss most about your student days is this. Regarding classmates, the feelings of the campus era, don't you miss it as much as for a theatrical environment?

Wu Haochen: Chinese opera has given me ideals, and before I took the chinese opera exam, I just had a thought, that is, I wanted to be admitted to the Chinese opera. I think it's a kind of fate, otherwise you can't explain where such a big obsession comes from, there's no way to explain why. Before you went in, you didn't understand drama at all, you didn't understand acting at all, you didn't know him at all, where did you love him so much? After I went in, the drama school gave me ideals, gave me goals, I knew how to go, I knew how to live.

The Paper: I know how to live, this sentence is very heavy.

Wu Haochen: Is it heavy? It was drama that gave me drama. In fact, people don't need much, give a thing to live, this person is most afraid of nothing. Yuval Harari (author of A Brief History of Mankind) did not write, the useless class is about to be born. Maybe there will be nothing that will need you in the future, give you one thing you can live. Drama is like this, I watched the seniors come this way, yes.
