How long have you not seen a sitcom?
When it comes to sitcoms, in the memories of the post-80s and post-90s, the first thing that comes to mind is "I Love My Family", "Family with Children", "Wulin Wai biography", "The Story of the Cooking Class" and other well-known film and television works.
Nowadays, the tastes and preferences of audiences are constantly changing, and the themes and types of film and television works are becoming more and more diverse. Thinking about it carefully, it has been a long time since there has been a family sitcom with a strong sense of life, a funny plot, and full strength online.
"A House Family", which has just ended in popularity, to some extent, fills the gap in the market segment of family sitcoms, and indeed brings countless laughter to the audience.
"A House Family" will focus on the hot topics of the times to relocate households, telling the lively family in the happy home relocation house, living under the same eaves of chai rice oil salt and chicken feathers of the daily life, for the audience to lay out the joys and sorrows of contemporary urban families.
It is not only a chicken flying dog jump that shows a family, but there will definitely be a "peace guy" who can string together all the characters and is the most indispensable character.
Fan Chengyuan, played by Zhang Haiyu, is such a being.
Comedy is a talent, a rarity
Fan Chengyuan, a doctoral student who has not finished writing his thesis for seven years, came to a strange city from Qingdao for love. After marriage, as a "family cooker", he is an "all-round brother-in-law" who takes care of the whole family, and his wife Ma Tao, as a career-oriented strong woman, is responsible for earning money to support the family. Against the setting of "strong women and weak men", Zhang Haiyu vividly interpreted Fan Chengyuan, who was handling the trivial affairs of the whole family.
Of course, no one is born to be the weaker party. Fan Chengyuan also once tried to prove himself, trying to regain his man's dignity. But no matter how perfect the heart thinks and how well prepared, every time I face my wife, I will still be second-struck.
And this kind of contradiction and pull that instigates and wants to "stand up", after Zhang Haiyu's dramatic interpretation, interspersed with dense laughter, makes Fan Chengyuan present a contrasting cuteness, which is deeply loved by the audience.
The audience on the bullet screen was also laughed at by Fan Chengyuan, and they all said that Zhang Haiyu was too oily!
If Fan Chengyuan's funny is the first step to attract his attention, then his kindness, thoughtfulness, integrity, and care and love for his family are the fundamentals of retaining the audience. There are 5 permanent residents in the family, and Fan Chengyuan said that no one competes with him for sixth place in the fifth place. But he did not mind his family status at all, and still made a good meal, taking good care of his family. Such a loving "national brother-in-law" made many viewers deeply moved in laughter, and they were unconsciously circled by fans.
Zhang Haiyu's comedic talent is well known to everyone, from the "Qingdao Auntie" series of short videos to "Tonight's Paramount", to the "Hundred Changes Big Cafe Show" imitation scenes, etc., Zhang Haiyu used his comedic ability and creative talent to let the audience remember an excellent comedian.
Wei Miaoxiao's performance, the restoration of real life, and the natural comedic temperament have made the image of "Qingdao Aunt" created by Zhang Haiyu spread rapidly through the short video platform, and his short video works have dense laughter points and distinct styles, and once released, they are deeply loved by netizens.
For actors, if they want to get the love of the audience, they must first have a certain "audience affinity". "Audience" contains the audience's initial impression of an actor, just like the relationship between friends, to get a person's recognition, appearance and emotional intelligence are crucial factors.
Compared with the full-time actors, the natural "comedy" and "grassroots" of comedians may be the reason why they are more likely to be favored by the audience. Most of them are simple, amiable, non-aggressive, and have a humorous, eloquent, and responsive personality that allows them to stand out from the crowd.
"Making the audience laugh" is the duty of a comedian, and it takes a lot of effort to do this seemingly simple thing well. Just as the so-called "from the audience, to the audience", behind Zhang Haiyu's innate comedic performance, in fact, it is inseparable from his years of experience in drama performance, which makes his comedy performance natural.
His long-term training on stage has made him more aware of how to control his body movements and facial expressions, and has also made him more aware of how to communicate with the audience.
The role of Fan Chengyuan brought by Zhang Haiyu to the audience this time makes people bright and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the image of "national brother-in-law" who lives in the city and is fresh and vivid makes people see more possibilities of Zhang Haiyu as an actor after the label of "Qingdao Aunt".
Acting skills are precipitated, accumulated over time
Seemingly simple comedy is actually the most difficult performance, and comedians who have been groping on the stage of sketches and dramas for many years have already practiced eighteen martial arts and have the core business capabilities of actors.
Zhang Haiyu is also the same, starting from a comedian, but never bound himself, but constantly broadened his acting field, and there are more and more types of roles that can be controlled.
From Gu Changwei's film "It's Good to Meet You", a sports student who is humorous and funny, to Si Ming, who looks serious and humorous in "Chen Xi Yuan", to Ma Long, the founder of the "Big Goose Game" in the urban legal drama "Elite Lawyer", Zhang Haiyu has wandered in various genres, output countless character images with different personalities, and won the unanimous recognition of the audience and the industry.
Long-term in-depth audience, on the one hand, through cameras, short videos and the audience "face to face", on the other hand, on the stage to communicate with the audience, so that Zhang Haiyu has a certain degree of performance sensitivity, for the audience's preferences have a precise control. He knows on what occasion to shake a burden and make the audience laugh; he also knows on what occasion to throw a tear point and cause the audience to cry.
And when Zhang Haiyu extends this control to the script and into different types of stories, he strives for more and more excellence.
In the acting competition program "Actors Please Take Place", Zhang Haiyu became a dark horse, and the performances of "Passerby A" and "Disciple" were well received by the audience and mentors, and the highly infectious performance made the audience empathize with it, and also more and more affirmed Zhang Haiyu's identity as an "acting school". The expressiveness and appeal of the lens have also been affirmed by famous directors such as Chen Kaige, Gu Changwei, Xu Zheng, Huang Jianxin, and Li Yu.
From short video platforms to various variety shows, from the Spring Festival Gala stage to different types of film and television dramas, You can see Zhang Haiyu's figure. And these different dimensions of involvement, but also for him to accumulate enough national degree. At a time when the entertainment industry is about to face the great reshuffle of traffic actors, the passerby disk is a rare key factor.
It can be said that the national degree largely determines whether the audience is willing to go into the cinema or not. Zhang Haiyu's "mass base" is undoubtedly a major guarantee for him to go to the big screen. In addition to receiving the affirmation of director Chen Kaige in "Actors Please Take Place", Zhang Haiyu also participated in the film "1921" directed by Huang Jianxin and the film "Sunshine Robber" directed by Li Yu.
Since his debut, Zhang Haiyu has created a role that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and every time he receives a role, he will carefully consider, immerse himself in it, constantly improve his knowledge reserves and professional skills, and grow together with the role in shooting.
Performance is the original intention, steady and far-reaching
Zhang Haiyu has loved acting since he was a child, when he was 3 years old, he could sing some popular songs, participated in vocal music and performance training classes in middle school, and performed in the literary and artistic performances of his student years, and he had to appear on stage almost every time.
Until he was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, Zhang Haiyu's love of acting and the pace of chasing his dreams became more and more determined. Although he studied performance production instead of acting, he has been constantly learning acting experience in his spare time, deepening his understanding of performance, and never forgetting his original intention of wanting to be a good actor.
It can be said that the explosion of "Qingdao Auntie" is an opportunity for Zhang Haiyu, so that his precipitation and dormancy before this have meaning and reward.
Until now, there will still be many viewers who like Zhang Haiyu to call him "Qingdao Auntie", for him, the label of "Qingdao Aunt" is a result, not a shackle, but an opportunity for the audience to know him.
Zhang Haiyu in life is a person who is emotionally delicate and good at observing the details of life, and knows how to taste life in order to internalize it into the source of performance. In life to learn the method of shaping the role, in the role to obtain their own sense of achievement, experience different lives, Zhang Haiyu as far as possible to achieve a balanced and harmonious symbiosis between himself and the role, mutual growth, mutual achievement.
In the turbulent entertainment circle, Zhang Haiyu responds to changes with invariance, opens up a new situation in the changing situation, carries the enthusiasm for performance, and moves forward all the way, and every time he interprets with his heart and every moment of sincere and sincere attitude, it will also be deeply imprinted on the road of growth.
Everyone is constantly groping forward, as long as you find the right direction, go forward, sooner or later will achieve the goal, everything will be smooth. In this fast-paced era, Zhang Haiyu still prefers to live and work at his own pace, simple and pure. He strikes a certain balance between his work and life, looking for inspiration for his characters in life.
In the upcoming "Female Psychologist", Mo Yu, played by Zhang Haiyu, is a mentally ill person, and it is also very different from all the characters he has created before, which is both a challenge and a breakthrough.
Just as the so-called "gold will always shine", just like Zhang Xiaofei stood out with "Hello, Li Huanying" and became the "national mother" in the audience's mind, in the end, what can impress the audience is the final work and role.
I believe that "national brother-in-law" Zhang Haiyu will certainly not disappoint the audience.
