Movie Liu Qing: Fei Weini plays Liu Kefeng

I playEd Liu Kefeng

As a Shaanxi actor, I am of course very happy to be able to return to my hometown of Xi'an to shoot a drama. Of course, I was very lucky to be able to participate in the movie "Liu Qing", I remember that after learning the news of recruiting actors, I went from recording audition clips, to the director's studio audition, to the producer's confirmation, the process was still very smooth, and I also cherished this serious big movie creation opportunity.

I entered the group half a month in advance, I participated in some of the corresponding life experiences, went to the Huangfu Village where Liu Qing lived, went to the Chang'an Liuqing Literature Memorial Hall, went to the Liu Qing Cemetery on the Shenhe Plain, read a large number of historical background materials and oral memories of the Cultural Revolution books and feature films, I am very unfamiliar with this history, I have never been in contact with it before, so I take this opportunity to study carefully, I hope that I can enter that special era as much as possible, I hope that I can understand this character more comprehensively, feel the atmosphere of that era, In order to shape the role I want to play, Liu Kefeng.

Liu Kefeng is a real character, she is the eldest daughter of the great writer Mr. Liu Qing, Teacher Liu Kefeng is seventy-five years old this year, I want to play this very ordinary and ordinary character. When I read her "Nine Years of Days and Nights", I was in awe of her, she was very real, very capable, the years of taking care of his father were very touching, in my mind, she was also a contemporary woman who inherited the spirit of Liu Qing, a very remarkable person. I'm going to play a story from her youth, set during the Cultural Revolution, when she graduated from Peking University and returned to Xi'an to take care of her critically ill father. To be honest, this is my first time playing a real person in my life, and I feel that the pressure is still quite large. In particular, Tian Dao should pursue the real historical texture, he not only harshly requires fu Huadao to restore the texture of history, but also repeatedly requires us actors to conform to the character temperament of that era, regardless of dress or behavior, requiring us to give up dramatic performances, put down those stylized performances, and enter that era in a simple and natural way, so that the audience can see that they are the characters of that era and can withstand the test of people who have come to that era. So the actors in the crew are buried in the study of the script, there is no time to gossip, everyone is very engaged.

There are actually not many scenes about Liu Kefeng in the script "Liu Qing", that is, fourteen scenes. Although there are few scenes, it is all me and the lead actor Cheng Taishen, who plays Mr. Liu Qing. The place where I appear is the last scene of the film, the most intense paragraph of contradiction and conflict, which is the part where Liu Qing's life and death are at stake, so the weight of the scene is still very heavy. I also gradually felt that it was not easy, I needed to meet teacher Liu Kefeng, and the producer Miao Xiajie helped us meet with teacher Liu Kefeng. After I met Teacher Ke Feng himself, this concern was gradually dispelled, she was very easy-going, very simple, had the keen eye of an intellectual, looked at the problem more profoundly, expressed very clearly, and we talked very speculatively and cordially. From her story, I learned more about the time when the father and daughter got along, but every time the wind was on vacation, her father would write a letter to ask her to come to Chang'an Huangfu Village for the holiday. Many times the father promised to take her to the village to turn around, walked to the halfway, he suddenly remembered something, he went back to busy, so there was very little companionship between her, between their father and daughter, because Liu Qing and his ex-wife divorced early, but Feng and her mother lived in Beijing since childhood, her entire childhood and adolescence did not have the company of her father, her father was a strange code name, but Feng had a grudge against his father, but Feng also always thought that his father did not like her, nor did he care about her. So she was angry and strong, held her breath, and finally was admitted to Peking University. Later, she learned from Aunt Ma Wei's letter that the news of her admission to college made her father happy that he had not slept all night, and walked around the courtyard until dawn. She knew that her father cared so much about herself that she shed tears of joy. In the years of a "Lao Tzu villain bastard", many intellectuals were overthrown by the rebels, imprisoned in cowsheds, tortured, and taken to the streets to criticize fights. Many children are forced or voluntarily to distance themselves from their parents. Liu Qing was also not spared, and was also persecuted, and very miserable, and eventually suffered a tragic life of family destruction and wife death. At that time, Liu Qing needed to be taken care of in the hospital bed, his children were small, and his ex-wife's eldest daughter Liu Kefeng returned to her father's side in this situation, and took care of her father for nine years with other siblings until Liu Qing died. I didn't tell much about these stories in the movie, I appeared in the movie to return to my father, I saw the father played by Teacher Cheng lying on the bed in the movie, he was so pitiful, so need to be taken care of, I felt that I had to take care of this person, there was no reason, this is family affection, is my blood love with my father.

After understanding this, when acting, I did not deliberately want to do anything, to imitate or to find something, I had a normal reaction, how my father communicated with me, I really reacted. Mr. Cheng Taishen is very experienced and can take care of the feelings of the opponent actors, so many of my feelings can burst out, which is directly related to the stimulation he gave me. After Doing the styling, Teacher Cheng is very similar to Liu Qing himself, emaciated, and has bright eyes, so every time I see him, I completely feel that this is my father, his so weak body, and so severe asthma, almost unable to breathe, from time to time put the sprayer into the mouth a few times to speak, I want to take care of him, I feel that I grew up in the play, there is not so much mannerism, and in order to let this great soul live well, I want to become a warm sun shining on him, Giving him hope, I feel like I have a sense of mission in me, and I need to help him fulfill his dreams.

I remember that in winter, there was a scene that was filmed under the southern city wall of Xi'an. I pushed a two-eight bicycle with my father, walking under the city wall, the cold wind blowing, rolling up the leaves, that desolate feeling made people very lonely. I was in a very good state, although Teacher Cheng was already very thin, but pushing him my bike head would up, I was very hard, so I kept pressing hard with my arms and taking many strips. At night, I went back to find that my legs were bent all blue, it turned out that the foot pedals kept bumping my legs, but I was completely unconscious at the time, and then I thought about it, but Teacher Feng used to push my father like this, going back and forth between home and the hospital, it was really not easy. There was a scene filmed in an old alley in Lantian County, my father received the "Rehabilitation Book" red-headed document sent by the Revolutionary Committee, he trembled and took the paper, trembled and walked to the statue of Aunt Ma Wei, with tears in his eyes, did not say a word, just gently put the "Rehabilitation Book" on his wife's urn, at that time I could feel Mr. Liu Qing's sense of loneliness and tragedy. Teacher Cheng is already completely in the play, I can hardly distinguish who is Cheng Taishen, who is Liu Qing, he deduced the kind of depression and heaviness that makes people breathless, my tears can't help but come down, I feel that I am an observer, an audience, and a witness to history, I just need to stand there silently and look at him affectionately. When the director watched the replay, he said: Miss Fei, you have completed this character, and your father and daughter are in the camera, and they have the feeling of being dependent on each other. There is also a scene, the father is critically ill, was rescued by Uncle Bin to the hospital, he opened his eyes in the hospital bed, saw me next to him, his trembling lips said: "Daughter, you just come back." At this moment, I did feel the real state that Teacher Kefeng described to me, so what to do? You can't bear it in your heart, seeing that his thin body is only a pair of skin and bones, dry hands, blue and black face, trembling lips, especially that look, that kind of exhaustion, the pain of long-term torture, my appearance, let him become a child, that kind of grievance, the hope of life, Cheng Taishen's teacher all gave me, so suddenly broke down my psychological defense line, I really collapsed at that time, can I not take care of him? This is the fatherly love that I have always longed for. The director of this scene is also satisfied. There is also a scene that is very impressive, that is, I helped my father borrow a stack of books to enter the house, and he wanted to write suggestions to the central government. The feeling of entering the door several times was not right, and the director was not satisfied, and the director said that I did not show that kind of complicated feelings and lacked a sense of the times. Teacher Cheng said to me gently: You have everything to relax. He gave me a determined look like a father, and I immediately found that feeling. Because my plays are basically with teachers, I am still very lucky, and it is very happy to work with such a good actor and such a thoughtful director.

We often go to the canteen to eat together, and when there is no drama, we go for a walk together on the road to the countryside at night, talk about the script, and talk about everyone's understanding of the performance. Sometimes in the hall of the room, rehearsals without physical performances, or improvisational performances, playing Wang Jiabin's Shi Qingfeng, his performance is always performed by Tian Dao, he has a strong sense of substitution and authenticity. Unfortunately, we didn't have many scenes with each other. However, I can still feel his sincere sense of simplicity.

I must talk about our director Tian Bo, I entered this group, the first time I met the director's impression is, tall, long hair, very flowing! (Haha kidding) Of course it is. Tian Dao said that I had a sense of joy, that is, he watched the audition clip to tell me, and later I learned that maybe my smile was shining into his life with that feeling of hope and warmth in my father's gray days. I met for the first time in Tian Dao's studio, he told me how he wanted to feel, and personally played my father, very substitutionary, very sensational, because the actors need to stimulate each other, the audition is more successful, after the end I relieved the sad mood for half a day. In the past, the directors I worked with would not personally set up a role for you, but let the assistant director come and watch it by himself. Later, in the process of contacting the director, I found that the director was quite humorous a lot of times. I remember when I tried on the costume, the costumer prepared a dress for me, from the texture to the pattern, I think it is very strange, but it is not easy to say, I put it on for the director to see, the director looked at it for half a day, and said seriously: "You wear this dress, very much like a python." I and several others almost couldn't hold back, so the costumer changed me into another more appropriate outfit. The director is too fascinated by Liu Qing, he wants to borrow Mr. Liu Qing's literary view, life outlook and political outlook to express his realistic thinking, he wants to express his views on art, history, and life in this movie, rather than just making a biography of a character, or shooting a history, and in the communication with him you can feel his feelings and thoughts invested in this movie, he is a person who has thought about human nature observation and history, a young film director, the first cinema film is so big, incredible.

The director has infinite enthusiasm and energy and concentration, and the script is written by himself. So every detail in it, he knows better than anyone, so I dare not have any tiredness, the whole crew is infected by his passion, at first we were infected by the enthusiasm of the director, because I did not know the writer Liu Qing before, although I also read a lot of novels, but this period of history really do not know, I have seen Lu Yao, Chen Zhongzhong's novel, because of this shooting of this play, I learned that the spiritual mentor and literary godfather of these two great writers in Shaanxi is Liu Qing, It is conceivable that the director is making a portrait of the heroes of the Chinese literary world, he loves literature and also worships heroes. Also, the director is very concerned about the actor's emotions, we have no problem communicating, I will not have a sense of oppression, after each shooting, he will let us go to see the replay, we discuss together, feel where to adjust, very democratic, but also respect the actor's opinion. After a few, we pick the best one, who doesn't toss over and over again without communicating, and he can tell the actor what he wants, where to do more, where to be less. So work up so that actors can trust their roles more.

Our young people now always want to achieve it overnight, are not willing to go deep into reality, and pay more attention to the satisfaction of self-desire, rather than the realization of self-worth. Therefore, learn to experience Mr. Liu Qing's noble qualities of being indifferent to fame and fortune, focusing on creation, doing only one thing in a lifetime, truly loving the people, and speaking for the people. Let me feel that this is not a slogan, not a story, but a real person, a real history, indeed in this land there was such an ordinary and great person, he illuminated many people to continue to bravely start a business. I did not think that after many years, people basically forgot that this founder of Shaanxi's literary circle was still a Shaanxi person, and a group of young people and a group of predecessors jointly provoked this literary banner, reshaped his spirit, told his story, and insisted on putting him on the big screen. In this turbulent and noisy tide of commerce, this is a clear stream, pure and powerful. As an ordinary actor, I would like to share my understanding with many young friends at the crossroads of life, let go of the narrow self, be kind to everyone, no matter when you are, what difficulties you encounter, do not give up on yourself to become a good, good person.
