Huxi Character - Gai Mei: "Chiang Kai-shek" career

Gai Mei, born in 1961, graduated from Shandong Normal University, special film and television actor.

"It's so similar!" In the Spring Festival of 2013, Gaimei, a native of Hezedan County, returned home for the New Year and was warmly welcomed by relatives and friends in his hometown. As a special actor who plays Chiang Kai-shek, although he is not from a science class, after years of study and tempering, he is often active on the TV screen, and is now a household name. Gaimei told reporters about his growth path as a special actor.

A word from a colleague made him a special actor

Dressed in a straight Zhongshan suit, a touch of eight-character beard, and Chiang Kai-shek's unique hairstyle, As soon as Gai Mei appeared at the interview site, it attracted the amazement of onlookers, "It's really like that." Gaimei also made a slight interpretation of the eyes and limbs, making this character image more realistic.

"It was very fortuitous to embark on the path of a special actor." Gaimei told reporters that although he often participates in film and television performances now, he is not from a science class, his parents are local ordinary people, and he has not been taught this knowledge.

Gai Mei graduated from the First Normal College, and although she joined the county Peking Opera class to learn Peking Opera as a young man, she knew nothing about television performance. After graduation, with his knowledge of Peking Opera performance, he joined the Kaifeng Repertory Theatre, where his life took a turn.

"Joined the Kaifeng Repertory Theatre and just performed Peking Opera." Gai mei told reporters that the relationship with the special actor who played Chiang Kai-shek was also due to the discovery of colleagues. "An old artist in our repertory theatre said, 'Have you noticed that you look quite like Chiang Kai-shek.'" And suggested that I study the character of his character to engage in acting. At first, Gaimei had some resistance in her heart, "At that time, she did not understand the meaning of performing arts, and it was difficult to accept this character image in her heart, and she was even more reluctant to perform." In response to Gaimei's idea, the old artist explained it to him, distinguishing between art and historical figures, and Gaimei accepted the suggestion.

Performing in the wheat fields himself, the villagers suspected of being insane

"I bought various books about Chiang Kai-shek's life, such as "Spring Dream of Jinling." Gai mei gradually learned about Chiang Kai-shek's life and figured out the character of the character from various channels. While following the troupe to tour and perform Peking Opera, Gai Mei will also play Chiang Kai-shek for language performances. In 1998, Gaimei participated in the star face competition program of Southeast Satellite TV called "Happy 100" and achieved a good ranking.

In 1999, Gai Mei participated in a performance in Hainan, and when reading the newspaper, she found a message that "a film and television company in Beijing is looking for special actors." After Gaimei passed, the staff gave him a script and let him perform live, and the theatrical performance experience actually made him suffer.

"After watching my performance, the director on the spot said that I was 'up to the model', and the snake added enough to reduce the performance points." "Starting a model" is a Peking Opera term, which refers to the state of preparation before the performance, that is, to put up the shelf in advance, and suddenly to change the old habits of many years, so that Gaimei is at a loss, seeing that the opportunity is going to pass by, at this time a person "saved" Gaimei. "There was a teacher named Xu Guangming at the scene who offered to cultivate my knowledge of film and television performance." In this way, Gaimei became acquainted with film and television performances.

In order to play a good role, Gaimei thinks about how to improve herself every moment, and integrates the lines on the script with herself to present the most original role. He often performed in the wheat fields with few people, "the villagers are suspicious of me, saying that this man is crazy." Gaimei said with a smile.

I hope to contribute to the performance in my hometown

Just after the Spring Festival in 2013, Gaimei rushed to Hengdian to participate in the filming of the 30-episode TV series "Unconcealed Sunshine", and returned to her hometown in the eighth grade. Since his exposure to film and television performances in 1999, he has continued to appear in film and television works.

In more than a dozen movies and TV series such as "Forcibly Crossing the Jialing River", "Dong Biwu", "Zhang Bocen", "Zhang Zhizhong", "Working Together in the Same Boat", "General Chen Geng", "Ren Bishi", "Hero Without a Name", etc., Gai Meijun participated in the performance and played Chiang Kai-shek, and his image and acting skills were increasingly recognized by the audience.

Gaimei is 52 years old this year (as of 2013). "When I get older, I hope to stay in my hometown and contribute to the performance in my hometown." Gemme expressed his wish to reporters.
