Poster of "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog"
Even if the aura of "Mist Theater" is not considered, the score of "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" with only 5.7 points can almost be described as a complete "collapse" of word of mouth. Among the countless viewers and netizens, one of the more representative ones is "acting in a family ethics drama under the banner of suspense drama, which cannot be tolerated"; the ridicule of Xuan Liang (Zu Feng), the father of the Xuan family, "the madman who protects the daughter" and "the true father loves like a mountain" in the play also explains the disappointment of the audience.
However, in the view of the parties "Xuan Liang", this is just a difference in the way it is presented. On October 25, Zu Feng, an actor who attracted attention with the role of his father Xuan Liang in "The Mystery fog of the Octagonal Pavilion", admitted in an interview with reporters, "There may be many types of suspense dramas, and the creators have to calm down and tell them. ”
Xuan Liang's growth and change is the most difficult to play
Counting the details of "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" before the start of the broadcast, I believe that many viewers will mention the famous film director Wang Xiaoshuai as a producer and director. In fact, this is also a big reason why Zu Feng took over this play in addition to the attractiveness of the script itself, "I am also curious about what director Wang Xiaoshuai will look like when making a play, it is also a drama with a strong plot." ”
Zu Feng said that he was used to receiving a role, first analyze his "contribution" in the play, what he can help the plot. "Secondly, it is the character image, including the way it walks, the tone of speech, the wording, and the habitual movements."
The score of "Mist Theater's" return work "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" has dropped to only 5.7 points
Although the overall reputation of "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" is not good, the image of a father who has always been saddled with heavy psychological pressure has been brilliantly interpreted by Zu Feng, and many viewers and netizens have sent praise. Zu Feng said that this is actually the result of his own thinking and communicating with his opponents. Pondering the character's heart and understanding why he always hunched over and dangling his hands behind his back is only one aspect; the other is the "stimulation" of the opponent actor, "that is, to find the motivation for saying the following lines in the opponent's lines." ”
Zu Feng said that the biggest challenge in playing Xuan Liang is to perform his growth and changes. "The whole drama gradually became clearer as the case went from confusing to clear, and I also tried to make Xuan Liang slowly move from a gloomy personality to a warm one."
XuanLiang's "father's love is like a mountain" is worth pondering
As stated at the beginning of this article, "Guardian Girl Crazy Demon" and "Father's Love Like a Mountain" are Xuan Liang's biggest labels in "The Mystery fog of the Octagonal Pavilion". The whole drama begins with a murder case that leads to a series of family stories. As a father, he has been immersed in the self-blame that he did not pick up his sister Xuanzhen, which led to her murder, so that the protection of his daughter Xuan Nianmei was so strict that her daughter could not bear it.

In an interview, Zu Feng also admitted that his interpretation of Xuanliang was "too strong", but this is also worth pondering. "If it weren't for his sister's change, his personality wouldn't be like this." Zu Feng said that it is worth thinking about that for growing children, such "control" is definitely not good.
"Even if the relationship is close, it is not a substitute for the other party, but only some advice." Zu Feng said that he also hopes that the audience can think of balancing the relationship with their families after watching the drama, "When there is a contradiction in the family, they must be good at communication and mutual understanding." ”
It's good for the audience to remember that the character forgot about me
From the classic spy drama "Latent" in the early years to the later "No War in Peiping", Zu Feng was known for playing supporting roles, and there were many audiences who said that his drama was more popular than people. In response, Zu Feng himself responded with a smile: "This is very good." ”
Zu Feng's interpretation in the play was jokingly called "True Father Loves Like a Mountain" by netizens
In his opinion, it is quite interesting for the audience to remember their characters in the plot of the drama and forget about themselves in reality. He laughed and said that he felt that actors could be roughly divided into two kinds: one is hidden behind the role, the audience remembers the role they play, and does not pay much attention to the actor himself; the other is that the actor himself has a strong charm in life, and he will rub this charm into the character he plays, resulting in great charm. "I'm probably just someone who doesn't have any charm in my life, so it's fine." Zu Feng feels that a good performance should make the audience focus more on the plot.

Of course, the controversial reporter for "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" also mentioned in the interview that Zu Feng felt that there were many types of suspense dramas. "In the early stage, there will be a laying out of the background and personality of the characters, and the creator may have to calm down and tell it." At the same time, Zu Feng mentioned that perhaps most of the audience's taste is getting more and more spicy, and likes to be a drama with a particularly large impact and a particularly large density of cases or events, "There are many such plays that make everyone feel that suspense dramas should be like this." ”
Zu Feng said, but perhaps "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" pursues more changes in the emotions of the characters and the causes of personality, "so that the story is like a mirror, and everyone can associate real life through the story." ”
