Upon hearing the title of "Born in the 70s", many young people may identify as "old soil" within three seconds, and then ruthlessly turn the stage.
But in the face of many popular dramas of the same period, it still sits at the top of the ratings.
Why? Perhaps the core of all works that move people is emotion. "Born in the 70s" is a story of friendship, love, dreams and growth. Yang Fan, Qi Shengli and Wang Xiaobing are always holding kebabs in the food stalls, drinking beer, chatting about the bitterness of life and the confusion of dreams.
Accustomed to seeing the exquisite scenes of cafes and high-end hotels in many urban dramas today, such pictures are more grounded and closer to people's hearts. The 1970s were an era of material abundance but idealism. Once you put aside the prejudice against "period dramas", you will find that their stories can resonate with the young people of the moment, especially the career path of Qi Shengyi.
"I'm not in Yanbei"
Qi defeated the natural anti-bone, when he was a teenager, he walked the world with a pair of fists, known as "fighting all over the bungalow area", people say that he looked old at the age of three, and qi sheng in adulthood continued this stubbornness and rebellion, and the desire for new things and the idea of getting rid of the shackles became increasingly strong.
Born in a small city, like many young people, Qi Shengli, who graduated from college, was arranged to enter a state-owned enterprise at the insistence of his parents. The dull and conservative working atmosphere is incompatible with him. He also suffered from office politics— the chief of the office went to victory in order to ask for merit and promotion, and took possession of the proposals he had written. Qi Shengli knew that after a while, he rushed straight to the office to teach the section chief a lesson, and then decisively left his post and left.
After repeatedly encountering walls in Yanbei, after some consideration, Qi Sheng decided to follow his heart, walk out of this backward and conservative small city, and go to Shenzhen to break in, saying "I am not in Yanbei".
When he arrived in Shenzhen, he did not shine as expected, and Qi Sheng, who had just arrived, was deceived into a pyramid scheme and lost his personal freedom. It was difficult to escape from the pyramid scheme den with wit and courage, but the interview repeatedly hit the wall. The last straw that overwhelmed the camel was this scene: the beggar snatched the money, the hungry standing on the streets of Shenzhen, a person in a strange city, no job, no money, as if it was the end of the road, can not see tomorrow, anger, anxiety, powerlessness and other emotions intertwined.
Nothing new happens under the sun, and the stories of the young people of the 70s continue to play out today. Fortunately, Qi Sheng finally took a place in this city by his own efforts. And the most touching thing has always been a youthful spirit that is not afraid of life setbacks and will always maintain enthusiasm.
"Spend 200% of your time and energy playing my role well"
For many viewers, they may not know Wan Peixin's name, but they must have seen the plays he participated in. Since his debut, Wan Peixin has worked a lot, playing the tough guy role suitable for his own image as a secret agent of the Republic of China, and also challenging the fashion editor with huge contrasts.
In the bloody anti-war drama "The Blazing Youth of the Sharp Edge", Wan Peixin played Shen Mengyu, a party-state agent with a cold-blooded and sharp personality and a decisive and crisp work. He has affection for Tang Bu, played by Song Yi, but cannot speak, Wan Peixin interprets this infatuation in a meticulous and vivid way through micro-expressions and detailed actions, and also implants Shen Mengyu's affectionate tough officer image into people's hearts.
In "Dark Disciple", Wan Peixin is divided into two roles, on the one hand, Xiao Zhong, who is step by step and deep in the city government, and on the other hand, Lin Han, a clumsy disciple who is heavy on love and righteousness. When performing, Wan Peixin will substitute himself into two roles, figure out their respective growth environments and thinking patterns, and then transform them into external expressions such as eyes and action details to restore the two roles.
Although the role is suitable for its own image, there are advantages, and Wan Peixin is never afraid when the two are different, and the fashion editor Ah Pei with a distinct personality, a lonely personality and neutral color in "New Fighting Era" is the best proof. Ah Pei is very different from his sunny and healthy image, Wan Peixin said: "The first time I play such a role, it is a big challenge for me, but I put myself into the world of this role and feel the world from his point of view. ”
The proficiency in the character and psychology of the character is inseparable from Wan Peixin's solid performance basic skills and the accumulation of bits and pieces in the interpretation. Graduated from the Central Academy of Drama in 2011, although he also laughed at himself for "no money and no drama" when he first left school, he always insisted that after all, it was because Wan Peixin was "addicted to acting", and he believed that under the exclusion of force, he purely liked one thing from the heart, and had enough internal drive to promote himself to keep moving forward.
The actor is only a part of the work, for the performance, he sincerely said, "Although I can not decide the quality of the script, the quality of the production team, but I can control my attitude to the work, each work, I hope to face it with a sense of awe, spend 200% time and energy to play my role." 」 ”
Tough guys also have exquisite hearts
Nowadays, fitness seems to be a must for everyone in the show business circle, but Wan Peixin's figure and exercise effect are among the best even in the entertainment industry, and he has maintained such a figure for many years.
Like many things in the world, there are no shortcuts to getting fit. People with fitness experience know that there is a need for a clear muscle texture visible to the naked eye, which means restraint in all aspects of life: regular work and rest, oil-free and salt-free diet and day-to-day exercise, Wan Peixin only said, "The most effective method is two words: self-discipline."
In addition, Wan Peixin is also a veteran European and American fan, especially interested in metal rock and horror films. In his Weibo, he often likes or forwards some European and American music, film and television information, and will send out "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Wan Peixin, who is strong and has such a bloody hobby, has a soft heart, he describes himself as a "particularly easy to move person", and what he remembers is the smallest and most heartfelt details - "Every year when I celebrate my birthday, there will be many fans and friends who will keep 0 o'clock on time to send blessings to me, think about it carefully, in fact, everyone is also very hard every day, and they deliberately remember my birthday, and keep it so late just to say a happy birthday to me." ”
A few years ago, the celebrity Weibo was not yet the world of refined hard photos and advertisements, and Wan Peixin was very happy to share his life, even if it was only caused by the sadness caused by the stray dog he met on the road.
Since 16 years, he has insisted on it for a long time, posting a paragraph-style essay on Weibo every Monday called "Wanbei Wear Xin", which includes recommending his favorite band, recent movies, interesting things and thoughts in daily life, and a straight male humor. Speaking of the original intention of writing essays, Wan Peixin's answer is very simple: I want to bring happiness to everyone.
Addicted to acting, more addicted to life. As an actor, he takes each of his roles seriously, and does not consider whether the role is eye-catching or not, and whether the work is optimistic. In addition to his identity as an actor, he is an independent individual who enjoys life, embracing everything in life with a soft heart. As he said: "An actor is to shoot a drama and live a good life."
