Wang Pei is quite related to Shanxi, and the first work "Bitter Cauliflower" and the later "Xikou Long Song" and "Overseas Chinese Women" were all taken there.

Wang Pei and director Wang Jixing met in the TV series "Bitter Cauliflower", when Wang Pei, who had just debuted, vividly interpreted the purity and simplicity of Juanzi, which impressed the director and many viewers.
Recalling the time when he first filmed "Bitter Cauliflower", Wang Pei, who had just graduated, was still very nervous, and he was also very unfamiliar with the team and the environment. However, when she returned to the team five years later to shoot "General Ye Ting", Wang Pei felt no pressure at all, "it was like going home, I felt very comfortable." ”
Wang Pei believes that this is also related to the director's filming style, "Director Wang Jixing will not ask too much for the actor, he thinks that you are suitable for this role, you will be determined, and the rest, the actors themselves to grasp." This gives us a lot of space and makes me feel very relaxed, probably because of this, so the two plays we worked on are still relatively recognized by the audience. ”
Playing a historical archetypal character in a major historical theme TV series is the first time for Wang Pei, "Like our generation, people know very little about Ye Ting, just listened to his "Prison Song" when I was a child, and Ye Ting's wife is even stranger." After receiving this play, Wang Pei found a lot of real photos in the past, and then checked some information on the Internet, and fully understood the shape, temperament and ideological concepts of women in that era. Therefore, when Wang Pei put on a cheongsam again, "I didn't think about anything, I think I am her." ”
When Wang Pei is acting, he likes to go with the flow and reveal his true feelings. Once in the scene to shoot Ye Ting and Li Xiuwen separated, the director asked Li Xiuwen to cry, but that day Wang Pei did not know why he could not cry, "If I can't cry, you give me some eye drops and smearing oil essence is useless." At that time, the high hair that played Ye Ting immediately came over to comfort Wang Pei and said: "It's okay, as long as you relax and adjust to the state of the role, you will definitely do it." Wang Pei calmed down and blended into the plot again, and sure enough, it soon became a drain, which also made Wang Pei grateful to Gao Fa.
Although "boys have tears and don't flick", Ye Ting, who is high-haired, is a heroic boy who often shed tears. "When Gao Fa is excited, tears will naturally gush out, and he will cry when he wants to cry, which is Gao Fa's own treatment of the character." Therefore, Wang Pei's grasp of his wife is not to cry. "He put a little, I collect a little, the most I can do is to hold the tears in the eye circles, so as to reflect Li Xiuwen's strength and tenacity."
After many times of cooperation, Wang Pei and Gao Fa gradually formed a tacit understanding. One of the most classic scenes in the play is that every time they play against each other, "Ye Ting" sits down and lies on the table as soon as he vents his emotions. At this time, "Li Xiuwen" walked over to hug him from behind, and Ye Ting would turn around and throw himself into Li Xiuwen's arms, "I coaxed him like a big child in my arms." "Such a move, they have not designed before, did not notice when filming, are later found out when watching the film, there are several scenes are like this." Because Ye Ting is a very simple person, even a little childish, he does things outside the sky and does the right things to the end. Li Xiuwen is a harbor for Ye Ting, and every time Ye Ting comes back to see Li Xiuwen, his whole person immediately softens. ”
Wang Pei had never played a mother before, and she did not expect to play a mother with so many children in "General Ye Ting" for the first time, which simply caught her off guard. Li Xiuwen in the play gave birth to a total of nine children, in addition to the death of the third child, there are eight children around her, these children are only a few months old, the eldest is only twelve or thirteen years old.
There was a scene where Gao Fa warmly went to pick up a child, and the result was that the child not only did not appreciate it, but also peed on Gao Fa, which caused everyone in the crew to laugh. As a post-80s Wang Pei will not hold a child, every time he looks at those cute little faces but can not "start", once Wang Pei wanted to hold a baby, but how can not hold up, which makes the director who has never said much also anxious, said: "Wang Pei, are you holding a child like that?" ”
Wang Pei is actually very childlike and likes children, and within a few days, he and the young actors in the crew played hot. But the rest of the crew didn't seem to be able to stand the little guys. "The children were very naughty on the scene, once they wanted to take a family portrait, a child sat down and began to cry, how to coax him is not good, the director also did not have any way to take him." In the end, I had to take a photo together, and the scenes behind it were all deleted. ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the wind and sand in Shanxi are too big</h1>
Wang Pei is quite related to Shanxi, and the first work "Bitter Cauliflower" and the later "Xikou Long Song" and "Overseas Chinese Women" were all taken there. But every time in the interview, as long as he talked about Shanxi, Wang Pei couldn't help but sigh, "The wind and sand in Shanxi are too big!" ”
"The Long Song of the West Mouth" was filmed in winter, where the temperature reached more than -20 degrees, "I grew up in the northeast, the climate in the northeast is cold enough, but Shanxi is not only cold, but also very windy." 」 "The Long Song of the West Mouth" tells the story of the Shanxi people planting trees, the location of the right jade near the desert, the wind and sand are very large, every day the actors come back from work, the face is a layer of yellow ash, even the box lunch is a layer of sand. Wang Pei didn't want to eat anymore when he saw it, but the filming was cold and tired, and if he didn't eat, he couldn't carry it down, so he could only eat sand and rice together.
In "West Mouth Long Song", Wang Pei played two roles, one is his sister Meng Haitang, and the other is his sister Meng Taohua, and the plot of this play is caused by the death of his sister. Tie Lichun, played by Wu Jing'an, has always been deeply in love with Meng Taohua, but Taohua is favored by local bullies and has to marry her. On the way to meet the relatives, Peach Blossom happened to meet Tie Lichun, and the two escaped together. On the way, there was a strong wind and sand, and the peach blossoms were buried under the sand and suffocated to death. So Tie Lichun vowed to keep the wind and sand at bay...
When reading the script, Wang Pei also wondered: As for, can the wind and sand bury people to death? If you don't move, you will come back to life. It wasn't until Wang Pei was really buried in the sand that she understood that she really couldn't move if she wanted to.
That scene was filmed in two parts, and looking back on the scene at that time, Wang Pei's heart palpitated. The first section shows Wang Pei standing on a sand dune tens of meters high, his feet tied by a rope buried under the sand. As soon as the blower blew and the sand was lifted, Wang Pei was dragged by a rope and slid to the bottom of the valley.
Then there's the scene of being buried alive. The crew dug a pit under Wang Pei's head in advance, and Wang Pei lay down with his hands on his head, so that there would be a certain amount of air underneath. The day before the scene was just snowed, the wind blew, and although the snow on the surface melted, the sand below was all wet. In order to make the effect more realistic, Wang Pei insisted on not using a stand-in, and when acting, Wang Pei, who was wearing a bridal costume, was buried in a bunker in the deep valley of the Saiwai Plateau, and after a while, his hands and feet were unconscious, "It is estimated that I will not be able to do it for a longer time." ”

After the "Long Song of the West Mouth" was completed, Wang Pei immediately took on a war drama "Overseas Chinese Women", and the shooting location was also in Shanxi. Since entering the crew of "Overseas Chinese Women", Wang Pei has felt that filming "West Mouth Long Song" is not bitter at all.
"General war dramas are mainly men, but in "Overseas Chinese Women", my role is the most, there are more than 700 scenes in the whole play, I have more than 500 scenes, I use guns the most, and now I still have cocoons on my right hand." Compared with the crime in "West Mouth Long Song", the filming of "Overseas Chinese Girl" is like pure physical work, because it is a war, Wang Pei climbing up and down in the high mountains and wild land is simply commonplace.
Once, there was a tree hanging landscape on the mountain, which was difficult to encounter in the local area, and the whole mountain was white and the scenery was very beautiful. The tree hanging doesn't last long, and the director wants to shoot the actors running down the mountain, so the actors have to quickly climb up the mountain and then run down.
When the tree hanging is generated, the air pressure on the mountain will be very low. Wang Pei climbed to the top of the mountain breathlessly, the wind blew her eyes unable to open, and her face was like a knife, "I had to run down immediately, and I had to say my lines, and at that time I felt that my whole body was about to suffocate." ”
There are also many horseback riding scenes in "The Merry Overseas Chinese Girl", which is Wang Pei's first horseback riding. In addition to some of the running shots of Wang Pei using a stand-in, the scene of the horse trotting was completed by Wang Pei himself, "I think riding a horse is too handsome, I would rather fall down, but also have to ride a ride." ”
But once, the director wanted to shoot a scene of horses galloping under the sunset, it was relatively late, and if you dressed up for the substitute, the sun would go down. In order to grab the light, Wang Pei decided to go on his own. As soon as he got on the horse, Wang Pei was dumbfounded, "All the horses followed the devil, twenty or thirty horses ran wild together, Le Du couldn't stop, and he couldn't get down even if he wanted to." Wang Pei was riding a horse with a nod, as soon as she fell, she would be crushed into meat by the horse's hooves behind her, and Wang Pei, who was nervous and frightened, could only desperately pull the reins and saddle and let the horse run. Finally, gunma ran to a steep slope before stopping, and when Wang Pei was helped off the horse by the staff, she dared to let out a scream and thundered everyone in the crew.
"After filming this, I still had night scenes until more than twelve o'clock in the evening, during which time my legs were soft and I would never dare to ride a horse again."
