At 2 p.m., "Thunderstorm" began to perform at the Shanghai Grand Theatre, and at 12 noon, He Saifei began to wear makeup. On the dressing table was her lunch, the staple food was shrimp, a few cabbage leaves, shiitake mushrooms, a shelled egg in the small lunch box, and on the right were three or four pastries and a banana. "My sister came to Shanghai from Zhoushan yesterday to watch a play, and specially brought me shrimp."
Like many celebrities, Ho Saifei's face is a full circle smaller than on the screen; unlike many stars, He Saifei is not afraid to face reporters with a plain face.
The 58-year-old has a light eyebrow, can not see the extra flesh, swelling, in line with the current netizens to pursue the bone beauty, instantly let people understand why Zhang Yimou chose her 30 years ago to play the third wife Mei Shan in the movie "The Red Lantern Hangs High".
From last year to the beginning of this year, the first round of the stage drama "Thunderstorm" and "After Thunderstorm" were staged in 19 sets of 38 performances in 8 cities across the country. From the afternoon to the evening, He Saifei, who played Lu Shuping, has always had a heavy role.
In Beijing, the crew performed 5 days and 10 performances in a row, "need to use physical strength scientifically, especially Lu Shuping's emotional twists, not only physical strength, but also mental energy." Josefy smiled and said, "In a few years, I won't be able to perform such a heavy drama." But she is not a delicate person - Shanghai Station, waist injury plus joint injury made her lie on the side curtain floor as soon as she got off the field, but turned her head on the stage, and no audience noticed anything unusual.
In April 2019, He Saifei received an invitation from Yanghua Drama, "No actor can resist such a classic play as "Thunderstorm". "Like the audience, He Saifei's first reaction was to play the prosperity himself, but he didn't expect it to be Lu Shuping." The crew gave me an analysis of the role, and I also accepted their suggestion, Lu Shuping is quite interesting, she is the trigger character of the whole story, if she does not come to the Zhou family, there will be no "Thunderstorm". Through her, we re-comb the classics. ”
He Saifei has performed "Xianglin Sister-in-law" on the Stage of Yue Opera, and the poor woman is no stranger to her. During the rehearsal of "Thunderstorm", the director arranged for everyone to string roles with each other in order to mobilize the creative motivation of the actors, "Each actor will have some of his own discoveries in the spirit of the original work." He Saifei crossed Zhou Puyuan, using the performance skills of the old students of opera, with the help of pipes into the play, "I also want to explore the role of Lu Gui, adding a little female spirit in the depths of male personality." She was even enthusiastic about "Zhou Chong", "It is best for me to play Zhou Chong, a teenager dressed as a man, simply and purely yearning for freedom, I can." ”
Every time after performing "Thunderstorm" and "After Thunderstorm", He Saifei will receive a sense of after-view from relatives and friends, "Actors should listen to opinions, but they can't listen to too much, and they need to make trade-offs, otherwise they will disrupt their own rhythm." ”
"Thunderstorm" opens, and Lu Shuping enters the Zhou family. He Saifei said that his physical design, language rhythm and stage environment are compatible, "The French director team has made bold changes to "Thunderstorm", the Zhou family and the Lu family are like two graves, the family is surrounded by walls, the impact is very strong, requiring the actors to be clean on the stage, giving up unnecessary actions and scheduling. Lu Shuping is a person with a noble heart, in the Lu family, she can completely relax, the Zhou family is 'someone else's home', she must have stood and sat, and her juvenile opera skills helped me. ”
Opera emphasizes "the art of the horns", in today's popular words, called "dumei", which is not seen in He Saifei. She sees herself as part of the whole, "A good actor is a good director, who can read the director, cooperate with him, and embody his art." When speaking lines, give the opposing actors time to respond, and discuss and complete many things. Playing a big heroine in a not very good script, I don't think it's interesting. She chooses a good creative team and a mature script to play a suitable role, "everyone grows together, shines together." ”
"I don't argue with others, I don't take the initiative to ask for anything, I just wait, give me work, I do it well." As an actor, learn more and do not press your body. He Saifei described that in recent years, there is no space in life, and it is not particularly busy. She has acted in film and television dramas, and now acts in dramas, always seizing the opportunity to sing on TV programs.
Fans called He Saifei "baby", left a message reminding her to eat more and not to be too thin, and said that she was cute with a ponytail. In fact, many fans of their age can be her children, "many college students, and some just work." He Saifei sighed, "I am not an Internet celebrity, nor a traffic, just an actor." They reminded me to do better. You work hard, and people who like you will try too. He Saifei posted his jasmine scented bags, wormwood cakes and calligraphy works on Weibo. Seeing her lishu, calligraphy and calligraphy, fans also practiced words, "Their efforts will prompt me to continue to work hard and promote each other, which is particularly good." ”
He Saifei was invited to participate in a variety of opera evenings and opera competitions, and she has been actively participating, "let my audience know me through film and television dramas, understand more about opera, serve the people, and I also like to sing opera." ”
In recent years, He Saifei has also sung Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, and Yu Opera, and plans to assemble Kunqu opera singing sections into albums, "Cameo in other dramas, there are some changes in the words of luck and biting, which is very interesting." ”
For the needs of the program, He Saifei spent a week learning opera, "Opera is quite different from Jiangnan drama, and I really try to learn it." This was the first time Thatsay Hadsay had used the word "effort," and she said very firmly, "I am worthy of my opera." ”
