"On the Field of Hope" ended, and Bian Xiaoyue also had to leave Baiguo Village and leave the children who lived with him every day and night. The villagers kept stuffing things into the departing car, and the students didn't give up on Teacher Bian and ran a long distance behind the car crying, "Teacher Bian, you want to come back, don't go like my mother and don't come back, okay?" ”
The play is a mess of crying, and the audience outside the play is also "tears flowing".
Bian Xiaoyue's actor An Yuexi talked a lot about her "students", that is, left-behind children in the play, in the conversation with Bone Duo.
"When these children see me, they call Teacher Bian, and when they shoot or don't shoot, they will say that the teacher is good when they see me on the road." They completely regarded me as their teacher, which made me feel particularly kind, and I completely became Bian Xiaoyue and became a teacher who went to the countryside to support teaching. ”
"There are a lot of villagers and children in the group play, they are all locals, they are natives of the village where the film was filmed, and after contacting them, I fully integrated into this environment, they are kind and simple, and they will treat you as a character in the play."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" >01 "Bian Xiaoyue is a fresh character for me"</h1>
Bian Xiaoyue in "On the Field of Hope" is gentle and quiet, which can be said to be the opposite of An Yuexi's own personality, but for An Yuexi, trying and shaping new roles is a blessing as an actor, and it is also the direction she has been working towards.
An Yuexi, who rarely shoots realistic themes, gladly accepted the invitation of screenwriter Rao Jun after reading ten episodes of the script and starred in the role of Bian Xiaoyue. For the story presented in the script and the deeds of young people stationed in the village to build their hometown, An Yuexi was very touched: "Although these people are very ordinary, they are particularly great. They can give up some of our material pursuits in the world, to pursue the fertile soil in their spiritual field, and to dedicate their youth to this land, and this spirit of dedication is particularly worth carrying forward. After the crew went through a relatively hard live-action shooting, such an idea became more concrete in her mind.
But before filming, An Yuexi did not have a close contact with such a group of people in life, "so after taking over this role, I watched a lot of related news, looked for some interviews on the Internet, and asked if anyone around me knew such friends, I wanted to understand them through this way, understand their inner thoughts, and try to fit them in the performance." ”
Bian Xiaoyue is a volunteer teacher of Baiguo Village Primary School, mainly teaching Chinese, English and music-related courses to children in the mountain village, an Yuexi did some preparation before the official start of filming, "I asked the previous teacher, how is the preparation, and then seriously prepared some lessons, although the shooting was not filmed, but this process will let me bring in the role in advance, the blank parts that were not filmed in the plot need to be enriched and reasonable by the actors themselves." ”
Compared with the past partial network sense and eccentric characters, the role of Bian Xiaoyue needs to be "sticking to the ground". The tone of the play is real, and the role of the volunteer teacher also needs An Yuexi to put aside some particularly clever and exaggerated performance patterns to soften himself, "This will be closer to the appearance of Bian Xiaoyue in my heart, and can bring warmth to the children in the mountains." "Because the children in Baiguo Village are basically left-behind children, they don't have much love from their parents, so Bian Xiaoyue is not only a volunteer teacher, but also plays the role of a sister and even a mother."
As for the relationship between Bian Xiaoyue and her boyfriend Zhang Nan, in An Yuexi's view, it is a state of mutual support and mutual support. "Bian Xiaoyue came to Baiguo Village not only for love, but also because she wanted to support the ideal of teaching, but Zhang Nan happened to be in Baiguo Village, so Bian Xiaoyue came without hesitation and just became a companion."
An Yuexi shared a comment from a netizen at the seminar, "The relationship between Bian Xiaoyue and Zhang Nan is like the feelings of Marx and Yanni, and my lover is also my comrade." "This kind of deep understanding is something she didn't think of when she was filming, but this is the happiness of being an actor, and the audience will have such thinking after watching the play, believing that the setting of couples going to the countryside is not illusory." Not many emotional lines also have a good embellishment effect on the plot, so that everyone knows that there are very good feelings in such a land. ”
What impressed An Yuexi the most and the most difficult was the three scenes with the snake, "I am very afraid of snakes, my hair is standing up", although the snake in the play is not poisonous, but for An Yuexi it is a real snake after all, it will bend and wind, not to mention the close contact with the snake face to face. But these hardships, including the local changeable weather, green mountains and rivers, rustic villagers, etc., also brought a different but enough surprising experience to Anyuexi.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" >02 Musicals and TV series: two sets of methodologies</h1>
An Yuexi graduated from the Musical Theatre Department of the Beijing Dance Academy, and after graduating from school, An Yuexi acted in musicals in the troupe for two years before he began filming. Last year, she participated in the musical "In the Distance", playing the role of Lu Xiaoou, and An Yuexi, who has not been on the stage of the musical for many years, said: "It is still very hot on the stage, no matter what you are doing, the stage will always make you unconsciously focused, for me, this is a particularly happy place." ”
The rehearsal time for musicals is generally about one month to two months, and the co-rehearsal takes about forty or fifty days. In addition to rehearsals, musical theater actors also need to learn songs, comb their character lines, and if they have any ideas about the script, they also need to consult with the director in real time. Compared with filming, the presentation of stage plays is relatively concentrated, the workload is also a little larger, and the desk work required is much more than filming.
"The stage is a particularly magical place, it will be particularly breathing, it can gather your spirit, aura, magnetic field. Because everything on stage is coherent and disposable, it magnifies the strengths and weaknesses that arise, which makes you face the problem and then self-reflect. Because of this, the actor can know where his strengths and weaknesses are, and use this to make a clear adjustment. ”
Adjusting the performance state is An Yuexi's "must-do homework" when switching between the two modes, the stage and the lens as two mediums, there are great differences in communication, the stage needs to expand the characteristics of the stage characters by amplifying the reaction and body movements, but the same performance method will pass if it is used in front of the camera, "so the performance strength in the middle needs to be adjusted by itself." ”
In a stage play, the high requirements of "passing again" can not tolerate the whole team to be a little sloppy, An Yuexi experienced a stage prop problem in the second round of "In the Distance" tour of Beijing, and the two-second deviation in time made the shelf directly roll over the dancer's foot, causing the actor to fracture his bones. Despite this, the performance still has to continue, and An Yuexi needs to deal with the problem tacitly with the other actors on the stage. Such an unexpected situation will make her "more dangerous".
The musical version of "In the Distance" and the TV series are different scripts, and a lot of adjustments have been made under the premise of the general direction, so the characters are completely different from those in the TV series. And the magic of the musical is that "every actor creates the same role differently, which is part of the special charm of the musical." ”
The pressure brought about by this state made An Yuexi feel the crisis of his career.
In An Yuexi's view, whether it is Lu Xiaoou or Bian Xiaoyue, their life trajectories and characters are positive and upward, and they also bring hope to others while completing their own growth. However, in the specific performance, it is still necessary to find the different characteristics of the characters, make the characters different, and then make them unique.
"If I like the characters and the script, I will be very active in participating." For musicals, An YueXi also has great expectations.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" >03 "The next role is more satisfied"</h1>
"Reviewing past performances is especially important for your performance in your next work." Anyuexi said.
Even after the end of the day, she will continue to think back on the performance in today's play, and optimize her performance in constant regret and reflection. Of course, the feedback from the audience is the most intuitive, and opening the bullet screen to see the audience's opinions is also her favorite way to review the performance, which allows her to directly receive the audience's evaluation. Anyuexi's sense of accomplishment comes partly from the audience's recognition, and a very important part comes from the evaluation of seniors and directors and teachers.
The habit of constantly reviewing allows An Yuexi to always put forward his own ideas during the shooting process. Under the premise that the big script has matured, the new ideas during the specific shooting need to communicate with the director and the screenwriter at any time, if it is reasonable and will not disrupt the context, it can be added to play a role in polishing the work. For example, in "On the Field of Hope", the ukulele section is the idea of Anyue Creek. The students always sang ABCD as "Ah Oh Oh", so An Yuexi proposed to teach by teaching students to sing, which not only added the art class, but also narrowed the distance between Bian Xiaoyue and the students, which was in line with the director. Director Wang Junye praised An Yuexi in an interview with Bone Duo, "She can really mingle with children, enter the role, and invest in emotions very quickly." He even praised her for her "good acting skills and dedication to tears."
An Yuexi's standard for taking over the play is very simple, that is, the word "like", "I like this role to have the desire to shape, of course, the overall state of the play is also very important." And because several to-air dramas such as "Food Story" and "Red Flag Canal" have not been broadcast, being able to broadcast has also become part of her consideration.
Because of this standard of receiving plays, An Yuexi is very willing to try some "small roles" with few roles, "I think this is a very normal process and logic, assuming that I particularly like this role, even if she only has ten scenes, or even two plays, then I want to play." 」 "Just like the character An Wen played by An Yuexi in "Agni Military Academy" before, she only filmed for three days, a total of about twenty scenes, but because An Wen's personality and personality are something she has never tried before, with this opportunity and the right time, An Yuexi is very willing to try it, wanting to see how effective her performance is. Based on the audience's overwhelming feedback on the role, her attempt was clearly a success.
Regarding acting, An Yuexi has always hung on the three words "diversity", and in her early interviews, diversity often appeared in her future planning. But in an interview with Bone Duo, she admitted that this goal is only about 30% completed so far.
"I am stuck in a very awkward state now, and if I go to play a girl, the market may not take you as the first choice, and I don't want to repeat this kind of role in my heart, but if I change to an older or more complex role, there are many difficulties." 」
The appearance of small became a restriction when An Yuexi took over the scene, she met many directors, and the other party would say "you are too small" when they saw her for the first time. "Even if I have the confidence to complete some older roles, the director will feel that you are standing here like a little girl, and you can't convince the audience, even if the corners of my eyes appear wrinkled when I smile." 」 She is still trying to figure out a state where she can "turn" herself.
But she is still positive and optimistic, constantly adjusting and accepting at the same time, but also to fight for their favorite roles, maintain the rhythm of filming every year, hoping to leave a solid role, and strive to achieve a thousand faces. "The audience can remember the roles I play, which makes me feel very happy as an actor." At the same time, Anyuexi of gemini AB blood type is curious about too many things, so the future may also extend its tentacles to other fields, including starting to act in musicals last year and trying to live broadcast this year, which are some new attempts and choices.
At the same time as the identity is constantly changing, the long-standing progress bar in Anyuexi's heart is advancing at a steady pace, whether it is the to be broadcast drama "Food" and "Red Flag Canal", or the role in "And Try the World" with less drama but large character thickness, we are looking forward to Anyuexi's "thousand faces".
