There have been many hot dramas recently, and because of its compact and fresh tone, "Student Police Whirlwind" has always occupied a place in the list of chasing girls.
"Police Whirlwind" is a youth police academy drama that takes the police academy as the narrative home, showing the story of how the students of the police academy have undergone rigorous cultivation and finally grown into public security officers.
Peng Fei, a boy at the police academy, was a highly intelligent genius when he was a teenager, and later entered the experimental class of the police academy, assisting the police in capturing the human trafficking team with keen observation, wearing a police uniform in military exercises in the jungle, agility hero to save the United States, and also acting as a patient big brother to enlighten the heroine.
Outside the play, Liu Chao speaks fluent and funny Beijing dialect, has a bright smile, and is willing to share some of his fitness routine and some miscellaneous feelings of life on Weibo.
From SM entertainment trainees to "the most handsome and fat man in history" and unpredictable wind and song, Liu Chao is now playing steadily, and each play has gained, step by step closer to the most ideal state.
As a police drama, the preliminary preparation work is naturally indispensable, before the start of filming, Liu Chao followed the crew to live near the police academy, he often went to the school, observed the lifestyle and rest habits of the police academy students, and then integrated what he observed into the role.
And for this play, Liu Chao also suffered a lot, when filming was in the three volt days, and it just so happened that the role of Peng Fei also had a large number of action scenes, plus his personality was too straight forward, so he was often punished.
For example, in the scene of doing push-ups, the somatosensory temperature when filming was 40 degrees, but the ground far exceeded this degree, and Liu Chao was the first to be punished for doing push-ups, so his hand just touched the ground, and it was burned with a scorching heat, but at that time Liu Chao wanted to finish filming, saving himself from repeating it, so he finished shooting without a word.
Liu Chao has a lot of scenes in the woods and hillsides in the play, where it can be said that "mosquito concentration camp", "no matter how thickly worn, mosquitoes can bite out of the bag through the clothes", and there are many scenes filmed in the AR classroom, but the classroom is temporary, formaldehyde has not been completely dispersed, the actors basically shoot for 20 minutes to get a breath, otherwise they will cry, it turns out that playing a policeman and becoming a real policeman, it is not easy.
However, Liu Chao also gained in the crew, in addition to learning how to disassemble the gun, he also had the ability to observe, from which angles to see the character's personality.
But the most important gain seems to be that "Peng Fei has made me dare to express myself more, especially what I did not dare to express before."
Peng Fei, played by Liu Chao, is a somewhat "unsociable" student, and in the previous plot, we can see many scenes of Peng Fei not fitting in: arguing with the teacher on the rostrum of the freshman report whether to be late, choking with classmates, and shouting "Report!" when the instructor punishes everyone from eating lunch! Inhumane" and other scenes.
But in Liu Chao's view, Peng Fei's attitude is always right about things and wrong people, and with the deepening of the plot, the qualities of keenness, enthusiasm and self-discipline in Peng Fei have slowly emerged.
Talking about how he felt after the shooting, Liu Chao said, "I respect them (the police) more, not only in the training process of becoming a policeman, but also in their actual job, in order to protect everyone's safety, I have to do some very dangerous things." ”
Acting like what, in the eyes of others is an actor's talent, but in Liu Chao's eyes, this is a piece of homework accumulated.
Liu Chao compares acting to the upgrade of fighting monsters, and the process between the first level and the next level is very long, but the upgrade is only a matter of moments.
2017's "Ghost Blowing Lantern Yellow Leather Grave" is a play that is very important to him. This play not only allowed him to truly experience himself as an actor but also allowed him to grow rapidly.
"Wang Kaixuan is one of the most challenging and difficult characters in my opinion, he is far from my personality, in order to fit this role, I have done a lot of homework and grown rapidly."
Director Fei Zhenxiang is also very sure of Liu Chao's performance, "Liu Chao, who plays Wang Fatzi, is really bold, and the first time I met, I was shocked to see a handsome guy. Choosing Liu Chao, I also appreciate his momentum and are particularly confident, and it is rare to have such a mentality as a newcomer. Judging from the finished film, he himself finished very well, he is Wang Kaixuan, which gave us a great surprise. Yes, Liu Chao's performance has won the recognition of the outside world and the director, which makes people unable to take their eyes off Wang Fatzi.
In the works that subvert the previous image, there is also a must mention is "Yan Bone", the role of Feng Ruge spans decades of age, and the psychological activities are complex, from the white-clad and fluttering young man to the unpredictable Guoshi, which is actually difficult to interpret.
"The role of Feng Ruge is the most enjoyable role I think is played, because his age span is very large, from small to old, and the psychology of this character is also quite complicated." However, these problems are still easily controlled by Liu Chao, and with his handsome appearance and online acting skills, he can deduce his unique "ascetic" temperament in various periods.
The success of this costume drama made Liu Chao more confident in costume dramas, so much so that when asked what type of drama he wanted to star in next, he said, "If the script is appropriate, I still want to make another costume drama."
Although the two works are not easy, but to explore more possibilities as an actor, no matter which past is mentioned, Liu Chao's tone is still with a sense of excitement.
Standing in the summer of 2017, Liu Chao, who is known to the public for his arrogant and bold role as "Wang Fatzi" in "The Yellow Skin Grave of the Ghost Blowing Lights", gave a nearly complete self-explanation for his life choices.
Time goes back a little, before becoming an actor, Liu Chao was a "quasi-love bean preparer".
Everything starts with Liu Chao when he was a student, because of his outstanding appearance, fourteen-year-old Liu Chao was discovered by SM's scouts and handed him a mysterious key that may be the treasure of his dreams.
At that time, Aidou was a very vague concept for him, but when he saw the young idol glowing on the stage, he decided that he would also be a very powerful person.
The first time he told his parents that he wanted to work in acting, he was replaced by a veto. "I was more assertive since I was a child, and although my parents disapproved, I ended up going," he says.
At the age of 15, the train of life drove to the station of "SM Entertainment Company". In the early days, Liu Chao was created in the direction of a singer, practicing singing and dancing every day, and this life lasted for eight years, and the cycle changed from "hard" to "habit".
To this day, looking back on these eight years, Liu Chao is full of gratitude, "SM opened the door for me to enter the show business circle, and what I have learned in these eight years is precious that cannot be expressed in words." ”
At the age of 17, the train of life is steadily advancing, but there is a tangle in the direction. "Seventeen or eighteen-year-old me, suddenly want to act, when watching movies, I especially yearn to stand in front of the camera", after about a year of psychological entanglement, Liu Chao finally decided to give up his debut and return to China to become an actor.
Life is a process of constantly fighting monsters and upgrading, and unlike playing games, life never has a restart button.
"Communicated with the company that I wanted to go to the filming idea, the company is not a conflict mentality, very supportive, helped me receive two plays." At this time, Liu Chao officially pressed the start button of "actor".
The reporter asked Liu Chao, "What is the biggest difference between an actor and a bean?"
Liu Chao used "accumulation" and "moment" to answer, "In addition to being dedicated and good acting, actors also need the accumulation of time, whether it is life experience, or facing the camera or filming, the accumulation of life is a very important process for actors, and the most difficult thing about love beans is to keep themselves in a perfect state at all times." ”
Liu Chao in life is indeed accumulating, he is low-key, calm, like fitness, insist on fitness, perhaps before because he likes to perform, want to change his appearance through fitness, but now in the fitness of this road of no return farther and farther, more is like their own can control their own feeling.
"Four points is fitness, six points is life," Liu Chao said.
When it comes to life, acting and ordinary life, Liu Chao is very distinguished, when he leaves the role and no longer lives the life of others, every moment in life is Liu Chao's own life script. "Acting is fun, both to experience other people's lives and to fight monsters and upgrades."
Now it seems that Liu Chao's choice at that time was right, from catching the wave of the Hallyu Wave to choosing to be an actor, he pressed the button of successfully breaking through in every life level.
Perhaps in the past, Liu Chao would still say the phrase "hope to be popular", but now he wants to play every role in his hand and leave no regrets.
From his debut to the present, Liu Chao has completed one monster upgrade battle after another step by step in his own script.
