"Mr. He's Love Never Forgets" and "Upstream" are broadcasting simultaneously, and Hu Yixuan has brought a healing breath to the film and television drama market this summer. Since her debut, she has successively starred in more than ten works, most of which are warm roles.
As an actor, "In fact, there are still many aspects of my personality, and I also want to meet the right role, which can be excavated and released." "The way to reflect the personality of the actor is often closely related to the character's personality, and the actor's performance is often the side that suits the role."
"But this matter is not urgent." In the year when the actor was playing, Hu Yixuan enjoyed his current state. "When the producers and directors should see me, they will naturally see what should be done at each stage."
Immerse yourself in the character
In "Mr. He's Love Not Forgotten", Hu Yixuan's "Qin Yiyue" is a child psychological counselor, she not only has to master the knowledge related to psychology, how to play with small actors, is the biggest test.
When filming, the child actors who play "Xiao Bao" in the play can not understand the script, and can only express the corresponding emotions according to the director's instructions, but the emotions expressed by the children are sometimes not "received" by adults, so the actors who play with the child actors need to have a strong guiding force in order to let the opponent express the focus of the whole scene, which is also the place where Hu Yixuan is most embarrassed.
Hu Yixuan brought his experience with his younger siblings at home to the set, "I may usually be more like friends with children, not directly saying 'no' to them, but asking them why they do this." 」 This allowed her to quickly establish a tacit understanding with "Xiao Bao" on the set, and the professionalism, dedication and acting experience of the young actor also surprised Hu Yixuan. "He knows he's acting, he's smart, he knows what he's going to say in this play. When he grows up, he will definitely be a very good and very good actor. ”
Qin Yiyue, a working woman, and Xia Xiaotangering, a high school student in "Upstream", constitute Hu Yixuan's "two sides of one body" in the summer file, compared to Qin Yiyue's gentleness and tenacity, Xia Xiaotang's body carries more of an inferiority complex belonging to adolescent girls.
From high school to out of society, the role of Xia Xiaotang has a relatively complete growth curve, and the theme of "crush" accounts for a large proportion of it, which is also an important grasp for Hu Yixuan to grasp this role.
"What is your mentality when you have a crush, what happens in the process, what changes, how this person's personality changes, these are the key story nodes, the different stages of the character, and I need to interpret them in different ways." 」
In the way of putting herself into the role, to understand Xia Xiaotangerine and the changes that have occurred in her body, she approaches Xia Xiaotang with her inferiority complex in her student days, and further shows the changes in Xia Xiaotang with her understanding of family affection and friendship. For Hu Yixuan two years ago, for the shaping of Xia Xiaotang, she did not have much skill, but constantly invested real emotions in her and aroused the empathy of the audience.
Hu Yixuan laughed and said that being an actor is to "deceive" himself, and the environment around him, the objects within his eyes, and the people in front of him are the coordinates of the actor to let himself enter the world of the script. "Living on the set, you can bring yourself in and perform these scenes."
For acting, she groped for a methodology similar to that of experientialism, "In fact, I don't know what is experientialism and what is theoretical, I just focus on my own feelings." But she's more of an "immersionist" than an "experiential school," getting the script, coming to the set, and getting into the role.
Naturally, for her, entering the play "comes first." "Whether we are walking the play or reading the script, it is based on the substitution role, based on the script, so you just need to do what you should do, and this tacit understanding between the actors mostly comes from communicating with the opponent actors." Hu Yixuan said, "Professional actors will bring themselves into this role and then communicate with each other, so when you go to the play, everyone naturally has some communication that belongs to this role." ”
Playing every role well is an achievement
Since 2017's "Can't Hug You", Hu Yixuan has starred in more than ten film and television works. From an accounting major to an actor, Hu Yixuan bluntly said that "like" is the biggest reason why she became an actor.
"Acting will make me happy, so I did such a thing, life is too short, you have to do what makes you happy, do what you want to do, even if it is difficult, and then there are challenges, you do it better than you don't do it well." 」
Because it is a favorite thing, when looking at the actor industry, I always have a peaceful and stable perspective. The only thing that made her nervous was the audition. When trying out the scene, the actor needs to quickly enter the role without any external assistance, and for her, it is even more necessary to quickly substitute her emotions into the role and enter the emotions at once.
"It takes a lot of mental quality." Hu Yixuan said, "Every audition is like a vicious battle - you go to war, because you know that as long as there is a moment when the director thinks you are good at acting, you have seized this opportunity." ”
She has also experienced failures in audition roles, but now it seems that failed auditions, like successful roles, are valuable experiences on the road to acting. "It's going to be sad, but it's all normal." Hu Yixuan said, "Being able to choose you shows that you have done your homework well, you are very lucky, your interpretation of this role is also very good, did not choose you, it may be that you are not suitable, it may be that you and the director and producer have a deviation in understanding." ”
For her, it wasn't a setback, and it wouldn't make her doubt herself. Under the gentle appearance, Hu Yixuan has a strong "ordinary heart" and a strong "self-confidence". She describes people in her own industry as always "both strong and vulnerable", what is important is how to adjust their mentality, when looking at themselves in the past, more or less have some "outsider" calmness, each role is a layer of experience, every period of time is her own growth as an actor, the combination of the two, how to apply to the next role, for Hu Yixuan, this is also the actor's job to give her fun.
She also tries to see her position in the current industry, which she describes as "passive", many times she has no way to take the initiative to choose her role, but it makes her feel fortunate that until now, the roles she has played and herself are suitable, which also allows her to grasp the characteristics of the role from herself, to deal with the emotions of the role, and to shape the uniqueness of each role.
"For example, Xu Chuyue ("Leaving people's hearts") is cheerful and lively on the surface, in fact, because of the environment she grew up in and the attitude of her father and emperor to her, there are hearts and sadness; Qin Yiyue uses healing to feel lonely; Xia Xiaotang is a typical adolescent child, she has to experience her own growth, in fact, each role is quite deep and charming."
Talking about her goals as an actor, Hu Yixuan said that rather than talking about what kind of actor she became, she hopes that every step she takes to look back in the future day can make the current self affirm. "If I play this role well today, it will definitely be an achievement."
Put yourself in the play,
Put yourself in your life too
Hu Yixuan is a "post-95" who does not like to use the Internet, and she is not much interested in more glamorous and colorful outside of performance. Outside of acting, she prefers a real life.
Traveling with her family, cooking at home, cleaning, occasionally, intermittently learning a little guitar, watching movies, she likes the undisturbed but orderly pace of life. Staying in the crew makes her feel more secure. "Like clocking in to work, it's bland, but it's steady. You can concentrate on studying a book, it's quite regular. ”
For her, whether she is a professional in acting is not the criterion for judging whether an actor is the best, in her own experience, she has not learned too many skills, so she uses herself to "experiment" and think about what a normal person will do when she encounters this kind of thing. And those grounded lives have just given her the richest "nourishment".
After experiencing one role after another, Hu Yixuan hopes to keep each character in their own life, and try to preserve the most original "Hu Yixuan" in the original life. Naturally, as she immerses herself in one role after another, the experience and shadow of these characters, and her understanding of these roles, have become inseparable parts, but in Hu Yixuan's view, maintaining herself is her most important proposition.
"If you think about how many people a real actor has to be in, there are too many roles for an actor to play in his lifetime." This is also the second meaning of life for her, when returning to the original simple life, Hu Yixuan can be back to her original self. Simple life, simple happiness, can make her "simple" herself.
Just like pressing the zero button on the calculator, when Hu Yixuan once again moves from life to the set, from self to role, everything is a new beginning, a new interpretation, a new encounter that lasts for three months.
"But if I pull them out, I'll still be myself." She said.
