College entrance examination, company sales, actors, these are Gebu's life labels, in the eyes of others, the span of these roles is almost separated by thousands of mountains. From accidentally starring in "Xiaomei" in "Never Expected", to the "student sister" of the encyclopedic comedy talk show, to the heroine of the web drama, Ge Bu, who is not from the science class, enjoys the road of acting more and more.
"Although my acting skills may not be perfect, my next play will definitely be better than the previous one." Geb said.
Account managers and actors have something in common
Becoming an actor was a low-probability event in life for Ge Bu, in 2007, she was admitted to the China Youth Political College with the first place in the liberal arts in Jilin City, Jilin Province, and she never expected that she would enter the film and television industry in the future, and acting became her obsessive profession in the future.
After graduating from college and entering Wanhe Tianyi, Geb's first job was as an account manager, that is, sales. In her opinion, sales and acting also have something in common, "For me, these two are both service professions, but the objects of service are different, and both jobs need to cooperate with others." ”
GeBu, who does sales, has to cooperate with various departments of the company, director, screenwriter, publicity, every link is closely related to the object she serves and its interests, "the same actor is also, you have to cooperate with the director, opponents, lighting, photography, radio, etc., any play is not a person who can perform the whole work well." ”
Perhaps it is the sales that cultivates this sense of "cooperation", and Gebu, who was accidentally electrocuted, embarked on the road of actor out of control.
Classic passerby A "Little Beauty"
One day in May 2012, the crew of "Never Expected" who was filming found that there was a lack of people to play the role of a "beautiful woman", and there were only a few people in the office at that time, so Gebu temporarily rushed to the rescue, threw away the work at hand and rushed into the set, playing the "little beauty" who became a hit. Subsequently, "Never Expected" became popular on the Internet after it was broadcast on Youku, and Gebu also entered the audience's sight.
In "Never Expected", Ge Bu played a small beauty with different occupations, ages, and identities, and more often, she is a symbol that the protagonist Wang Sledgehammer has to face in life, and this role does not need too many tests for acting. After "Wanwan", Gebu participated in Wanhe Tianyi's other blockbuster web drama "Report Boss", this time she played a shrew, a fool, an ugly girl and even a goddess, which made her acting skills begin to break through.
The "student sister" in the entanglement
In 2014, by chance, Goeb came into contact with an encyclopedic comedy project, "Sister Knows". "In fact, the protagonist of this column at the beginning was not me, the main creative team tried many people did not feel right, so let me try."
It was a Friday afternoon, Goeb recalls, and she was on a conference call with a client when she was suddenly called to the recording studio to audition. A week later, she was told to do a show called "Sister Knows."
"At that time, I was also ignorant, everything came too suddenly, too late to think too much, only to go up." GeBu said that when she started doing it, she was also a little confused, when she watched foreign talk shows every day to learn, but found it too difficult to copy foreign models, because there are great differences in culture and environment at home and abroad, so she asked many people around her what this kind of program should be.
"I think the biggest difficulty is that I want to convey a point of view to others, hoping to get the approval of others, even if there is no recognition, but I am neither a celebrity nor a successful person, and this difference in identity cannot meet the need to instill opinions." 」
After doing the first season, GeBu calmly thought about it and slowly found the direction of the show "Sister Knows", "At the beginning of the second season, I better grasped the positioning of "Sister Knows", what problems I had in the show, what should I do. After two seasons of broadcasting, "Sister Knows" has been successfully transformed and has become a trump program of Wanhe Tianyi in LeTV.
After the tempering of "Sister Knows", Ge Bu began to emerge in the web drama, and then she starred in "Detective Di Renjie" and "The Great Hero Huang Feihong", and received wide acclaim. Gobb thought she should be a professional actor until one day a friend of her poured cold water on her, "My friend said how do you count as an actress, aren't you an internet celebrity?" Do you know how to act? ”
Stills from "Detective Di Renjie"
Although the blows of her friends made her sad, Goeb began to re-examine herself, she found that she still had a lot to learn in acting, and she also began to examine her acting skills.
Subsequently, she received a network movie with a complete story and character personality, "Past Life", which is also the first time that Wanhe Tianyi has transformed into a thriller theme, in this play she relearns how actors should go, how to talk, how to cry... Each bridge section pushed itself to the limit, and when he returned to Beijing after filming, Ge Bu lost 10 pounds.
"After filming, I feel so tired and happy, although the performance may still not be perfect, but at least I am sure that I will be better than this next time, especially satisfied." 」
With the increase of acting experience, Goeb is a bit obsessed with the feeling of being an actor, in her opinion, an actor can make a person experience the life of a different person, living unlike herself. In the last play, her identity is that of a big lady, who is ruthless and willful, and is brave to love, which is something she herself cannot do in reality.
"I used to be particularly afraid of crying scenes, but now I think that filming crying scenes is one word: cool." That feeling of sadness and experiencing life and death let me go, and I enjoyed the process. ”
Gebu said that if she is allowed to rate the previous play, she scored 40 points for her acting skills, but now she scores 50 points, although she has not passed, but she feels that she is still trying to improve, "I think my current acting skills have not reached the level of my heart pass, but my room for improvement is the largest, maybe my next acting skills can soar to 80 points." ”
From a "passerby" to a professional actor, Goeb felt lucky enough. "I often tell my friends that there are about 800,000 people in this industry who are better than me, about 790,000 people who are prettier than me, about 600,000 people who are younger than me, and about 400,000 people who are more experienced than me.
Recently, in the process of "pulling the film", Gebu recalled her vision of the present ten years ago, when she felt that she would now be a freelance writer, living alone and single, and had published two or three books, which were all disease-free groaning, obscure metaphors, and no one could support life. Now she has accidentally become an actress, all because she is in Wanhetian.
"Wanhe is like home and like a child to me, and I will miss it after filming in the outside crew for a long time; I hear others say that Wanhe is not good in my heart." Goeb admits that his growth is inseparable from the company, which is a very inclusive collective that gives people the opportunity to try and make mistakes, but does not blindly forgive. If she hadn't come here, she might never have become an actress, and chance wouldn't have become inevitable.
For the new year, Geb hopes to be able to participate in more film and television works. "Even if it's a supporting role, female number four, female number five, because I really like to act."
She said that she doesn't care how many people see the scene she shoots, and learning to act well is her biggest goal in the new year. "In fact, I don't dare to say that I have any long-term plans, for me, it is better to be a good actor." Will a down-to-earth performance of Gobb bring more surprises? In the new year, let's look forward to the works of this wanhe master little flower.
