For genre dramas, acting for a long time may bring fatigue to the audience, but for young actor Zhang Su, there is no such trouble.
The two new dramas he participated in a few days ago, "Rushing Years" and "Rivers and Rivers" were broadcast on CCTV and first-line satellite TV respectively, as gift dramas for reform and opening up, these two are high-quality dramas of great significance of the times. For Zhang Su himself, this is also the theme of his always skillful realist drama.
Reject the Paper Man!
Each character is infused with a unique soul
It is inevitable to be familiar with it, but always thinking about "adding new shoots" and not repeating the previous roles has become the secret of Zhang Su's ability to keep the audience fresh forever. He never let the characters be labeled and the pieces of paper humanized, and he had enough ability to inject a deeper level of soul into each character of different ages, different personalities, different ages, and different identities.
In "The Galloping Years", he played the role of Xiao Xiong, a character with a large age span and atypical characteristics. As a villain, it already has a strong contrast with Zhang Su's previous role, Zhang Su accurately grasps and magnifies the various characteristics of Xiao Xiong, adding some humane and Zhang Su-style seasonings to the main drama.
At the beginning, as a young man in the countryside, Xiao Xiong wanted to return to the city and adopted the extreme method of swallowing iron nails, which must have impressed the audience.
Zhang Su sat in front of the doctor trembling in a cold sweat and gave Xiao Xiong a head that should not be underestimated. "This is a fierce character who has also been cruel to himself", not exaggerating pain, and the treatment of concealment and forbearance is very high, and the tone is simply and straightforwardly set for this character at the beginning.
As the plot progresses, he is trapped in prison and faces an unavoidable sentence, xiao Xiong's fate falls to the bottom, but his struggle is very sad, and when he is chased by the police and pressed to the ground, he is still begging for the college entrance examination.
But the imprisonment coupled with the death of his father made Xiao Xiong finally collapse and his heart was like ashes, and he was under a lot of pressure. Zhang Su let Xiao Xiong's suffering be released here, and the helplessness of the little people was vividly displayed.
After that, he worked hard to learn foreign trade knowledge in prison, and this stubbornness of not bowing to fate laid a reasonable foundation for his later "blackening". Even if it is bad, he is not completely bad.
Zhang Su mentioned in the interview that he will divide the characters into nodes when reading the script, and he divides four nodes for Xiao Xiong, the introverted kindness of the appearance, the despair of imprisonment, the black belly of revenge after being released from prison, and the later stage of having the power of wealth.
The play spans forty years, and each node is embedded in the timeline and is clearly visible. From youth to old age, Zhang Su accurately grasped the characters, without hysteria, nor deliberately frowning and staring. Between Xiao Xiong's eyebrows, the slight change in demeanor can see the "depth" of this character.
This role from spring to winter, from less to old, from before reform and opening up to after reform and opening up, through the torrent of the times and the complicated changes, in the span of time, the audience can not only see Xiao Xiong's superficial badness, but also see his hidden flesh and blood in the depths of his heart. Fate created people, so that he lost the opportunity to take the college entrance examination; filial piety and deep love for his father, let him embark on the road that he had to take, he had helplessness and sorrow, was a villain, but also a tragedy of the times.
Zhang Su understands that he understands him, and under his molding, the character of Xiao Xiong is not just shallow, but also draws a heavy mark on people's hearts. Such a shaping skill, holding such a span of roles, in the market after the 80s actors, Zhang Su is also a very eye-catching share.
Can realism also be counter-routine?
The character turns out to be a "chameleon"
When the camera turns, in "Rivers and Rivers", Zhang Su becomes Shen Yiwei like a military master, a positive figure who helps the port reform. Standing on the front line of the cusp of the storm, the righteousness is awe-inspiring, and this role is very different from Xiao Xiong, who is also broadcasting.
Zhang Su is not limited to the routine pattern, in the details, he cleverly added some small actions that may not sound consistent with the character image, such as crooked on the motorcycle to seriously drag time to fix manicure, get along with the girl to let him leave and turn around directly, with a funny and cute style. These cute little details have brought a hint of contrast to Secretary Shen in a majestic position.
The two dramas are positive and negative, reflecting each other, but they do not let people string dramas at all.
Shen Yiwei, who worked hard in the port, was him, and Xiao Xiong, who played the storm on the trade road, was also him, no wonder some people said that Zhang Su's role was like a "chameleon", one drama after another, entering the drama very quickly, never repeating. This also depends on his own temperament is changeable, the play path is broad, the amorphous indeterminate, in each play can just show the most suitable side, both good and evil.
The mastery of this degree is all due to his rich experience in drama.
Having successfully portrayed many classic roles, he can be said to be a "realistic acting school" without compromise. This young actor who can quickly enter the role by the director at the age of 16 has an incomparable love and unique insight into acting, combs through his experience bit by bit, precipitates himself, and acting has always been truth-seeking and realistic, can touch the audience's heart, and express the audience's truest feelings.
In "Red Flag Rolling West Wind", he played the bloody and loyal red hero Li Zhiyuan, in "Postman", he partnered Li Youbin to play the male number one Xu Zhongliang, interpreting the growth history of spy geniuses, shaping the Chinese version of "Rain Man", and in "Fireworks", he also showed ma Long, who was honest and stable and had great ambitions, vividly.
In the fashion drama "The Beauty Wedding", he became a self-motivated and courageous considerate male Sui Ran. On the road of love and marriage, Sui Ran constantly tried and made mistakes, Zhang Su combined Sui Ran's forbearance and gentleness in every move and micro-expression, so that the audience had a deep sense of empathy, and his handsome appearance also captured the hearts of many audiences.
Therefore, the drama answer sheet handed over by Zhang Su can make people feel the heavy sincerity and the quality of the natural audience to buy it. "Galloping Years" ratings broke 1 early, is moving towards breaking 2 rapidly, high ratings also gained good reputation, many audiences have expressed recognition and praise for Zhang Su's performance, which is also for Zhang Su, the most inspiring and motivating time.
"Drama maniacs" fight to death,
Episode warranties live up to their name
Insisting on shooting realistic episodes is a very hard thing, because of the limitations of the times and the general environment, the background setting of the series will not be comfortable. When filming "Red Flag Rolling West Wind", Zhang Su, a horseback riding scene and a blast scene, was personally involved.
In a street fight, he accidentally stumbled on the props on the ground, hit the scooter on his right forehead, and was wounded and bleeding, but he did not stop, real blood mixed with fake blood from makeup, until the end of the shooting.
The chest was buried and exploded, close to the face and heart, but he still gritted his teeth and said to the director: "If you think this point must be the most effective, then I will do it", for the role can be desperate, just to bring the audience the best viewing experience.
People who are quite dedicated inside and outside the scene can also make time to participate in the satellite TV festival in the case of shooting two big nights in a row and sleeping for 5 hours in two days, which also makes the staff praise him sincerely.
As a young actor, he has cooperated with many old drama bones in succession, such as Zhang Jiayi and Li Youbin.
These drama bones played for him, which moved him endlessly, he had his own ideas, but he was still diligently pursuing on the road of learning, "They can have so many audiences to like him, and they can have such a reputation, it is really not overnight, or it is a good reputation accumulated by one play after another." I learned a lot from them. ”
He can look up confidently challenge one unknown character after another, he can also look down and listen to one useful teaching after another, Zhang Su can capture the heart of A-line satellite TV to become the quality assurance of the series is not accidental, in his step by step solid steps forward, there is his sweat, diligence, seriousness, and determination to never stand still.
Gold Medal Agent: "Rushing Years" and "Rivers and Rivers" are broadcast at the same time, are you worried that the audience will string dramas? When playing the two roles of Xiao Xiong and Shen Yiwei, what is the biggest difference in your interpretation?
Zhang Su: There is no worry about the cross-play, I believe that the audience who watched the play can distinguish the difference between the two characters at a glance. Between the two characters, Xiao Xiong is probably a villain known as Hitara Xiaoxiong, and Secretary Shen Yiwei shen is very upright from beginning to end.
Gold Medal Agent: We know that you have acted in many positive dramas before, and you have been called Mr. Drama and Red Idol, so do you have any worries about "people not matching" the villain role of "Running Years"?
Zhang Su: I think the most rare thing for an actor is not to set up a person for himself, I can play a role that is magnificent and upright, then the villain role will not become my limit, and challenging different roles is a very interesting process.
Gold Medal Agent: These two tribute dramas of reform and opening up, what concept do you most want to convey to the audience through the drama?
Zhang Su: For example, Shen Yiwei, a young reformer of the Port Authority, although he encountered difficulties and obstacles in the reform and innovation of the Port Authority, he finally completed the deepening reform with firm faith and indomitable spirit! I took this play to convey this spirit to the audience, so that the audience really believes that now no matter all walks of life, enterprises and institutions, there are really such a group of young people doing such things, they have firm faith, but also innovative thinking, leading the entire industry to move forward in a good direction!
Gold Medal Agent: The "Galloping Years" drama spans forty years, and the character of Xiao Xiong has also been played from youth to old age, do you have any special treatment for the interpretation of the character in this time span?
Zhang Su: Xiao Xiong is actually quite clear in his life nodes, he was imprisoned when he was young, he took revenge after coming out, and he flew in the later stage, but in addition to the intuitive age and appearance changes that the audience can see, such as the graying of his hair in the later stage, I mainly show the heart of this character, I believe that no one is bad at the beginning, so he changes his mentality from young to old, I try to spread out emotionally, let the audience see that he is not a bad person with a face, he is multi-faceted, and he pulls out his bad surface. He also has an unknown heartache inside.
Gold Medal Agent: Now many actors like to go younger, and the shape is more inclined to be beautiful and fashionable, choosing this villain role with an elderly image, what do you think?
Zhang Su: Or look at the role, if a role I like and find challenging, then if the role has needs, whether it becomes old or ugly, I can do any attempt and change for the role, actor, serving the role is the first meaning, taking over the villain is also a truth, and occasionally changing the taste is also quite fresh for the audience.
Gold Broker: Are you afraid of being stereotyped? Before receiving a lot of positive dramas, and now there are two positive dramas broadcasting on satellite TV at the same time?
Zhang Su: I have always been more fond of realist TV dramas, realistic theme TV dramas are good in the real, is the real thing that may happen around the people, I am not afraid of stereotyping, just like Shen Yiwei in "Rivers and Rivers", not broken, not broken, on the basis of the old port reform and innovation, the last can be successful, each drama I have different thinking and harvest, then the last presented to the audience will be a brand new cuisine.
