The highly anticipated annual anti-gang crime drama "Circuit Prosecutor Group" will end tonight. On the 7th, the rating of the drama on Hunan Satellite TV has exceeded 5%, ranking first in the country for many consecutive days. As a sister article of "In the Name of the People", the "Circuit Procuratorial Group" (formerly known as "People's Justice") produced by the original team can be described as a double harvest of ratings and word of mouth.
In this TV series with bones and gods fighting, we have seen a familiar face again - the powerful actor Feng Lei. Towards the end, we talked to him about the story behind the creation of the show and how he performed.
Audiences who have watched "The Name of the People" are unforgettable for the villain boss Zhao Ruilong played by Feng Lei. This also leads to the audience's "worry" when chasing "Circuit Prosecutor Group": is Xiong Shaofeng, the deputy procurator general played by him, a bad person? Why are all the signs suspicious? It was not until the penultimate episode that the stone in the audience's heart landed. It turned out that the internal ghost in the political and legal system was Wu Qiang, the deputy procurator general of Wu played by Ding Haifeng, and Xiong Shaofeng was innocent.
Feng Lei did not think much about it before taking over the "Circuit Prosecutor Group", and completely came to the director Li Lu and the wave of actors in "In the Name of the People". At that time, we were mainly directed at the words "Justice of the People" (the original name of the Circuit Prosecutor Group). Coupled with the fact that both the director and the actors are acquaintances in the group, we just want to find an opportunity to get together. ”
At that time, he chose Xiong Shaofeng among the two roles of Xiong Shaofeng and Wu Qiang. "Originally, the director was also very hesitant about which role Ding Haifeng and I would play. I thought about it, it just so happened that Ding Haifeng played a positive image of Officer Zhao in "In the Name of the People", and the Zhao Gongzi (Zhao Ruilong) I played was a negative image. So I think that maybe I will play Xiong Shaofeng better, and the amount of information conveyed to the audience's vision will be richer than that of other actors, giving the audience more imagination space. Until the end, they couldn't guess whether Xiong Shaofeng was a decent person or a villain. For example, netizens are always worried about whether I have played a good person this time? Having this kind of worry shows that it is too right to find me to act! Whether it is a suspense drama or a crime-solving drama, at the beginning, let everyone guess the end, which is a particularly boring thing. ”
From the deputy procurator general and the judicial mouth of the infinite scenery to the strongest "back pot man" who almost became a prisoner of the order, Xiong Shaofeng's road can be described as a big ups and downs. From the early acts of vanity and covetousness, to the tit-for-tat quarrels after being suspected by Feng Sen, to the "stilts" and collapse after being investigated by the organization, and the ecstasy after confirming the innocence. Feng Lei took this role just right, and the sense of substitution was extremely strong.
In particular, xiong Shaofeng's section on the beach where he used his family to swear a poisonous oath to prove that he was not corrupt is even more touching. Through gestures, eyes, and expressions, Feng Lei vividly interpreted the grievances and injustices in Xiong Shaofeng's heart, wanting to cry and not being able to cry, and not knowing how to explain it at all.
Feng Lei believes that this is the most colorful passage of Xiong Shaofeng's whole play. Because this line itself gave me a great shock and a great touch, it was not at all the preaching of the past, but the confession of a real Communist Party member. So every time I talk about this scene, including when I am acting, I try to control it, restrain myself, and don't cry and drool. Because when I talk about it, I myself will be infected. I was especially afraid that once I cried, this breath would be released, and the message to the audience would not be so strong. So when performing, everything is to be at that point, this point is done well, it is advanced, and this point is not done well. ”
As a veteran actor with more than 25 years of experience, Feng Lei has played a variety of roles.
For example: Zhu Zhishan, the humble young Man Tang Bohu, Xiao Shi, a simple and kind factory technician in "Little Aunt Duohe", Soba, who is extremely bad in "The Fragrance of May Locust Flowers", Zhou Dahai, the "good old man" in "Happiness and Beautiful Blooming", and Zhao Ruilong, who is fierce and fierce in "The Name of the People"...
Every role he's played has been impressive. Also because the drama path is changeable, what is acted like is called "drama baggage".
In Feng Lei's eyes, there are only small actors, no small roles, so whether it is a positive role, a negative role, whether it is a protagonist or a supporting role, he strives to shape the role deeply into the hearts of the people. He said: "I also played a lot of positive roles, the ratings are not so good, it is quite strange, the villains are all remembered." I play good people like that, but playing good people is not as concerned as playing bad people. Xiao Shi in "Little Aunt Tatsuru" before was a good person, and the response was good. In fact, playing good people and bad people is technically the same, you just need to play the role wonderfully. The bad guy just does the bad thing, it's the scene, and the script decides whether it's good or bad, and it's not directly related to the actor's performance itself. ”
When it comes to being an actor, Feng Lei believes that talent is the first. "Talent can ultimately determine how high you can go in your performance, and the efforts of the day after tomorrow can determine whether you can live better in this circle." Because acting is like this, you know more, and the more you act, the harder it is. But the harder it is, the more interesting it is, and you are constantly solving the problem, so the more you play, the more interesting it is. ”
In the current film and television circle, all kinds of impetuous winds are flowing. And Feng Lei still insisted on his original intention. "The reason why this circle has been demonized is that some practitioners are greedy, including the abnormal intervention of some capital, so we still have to correct our mentality." My biggest advantage is that I have no desire, no desire is too strong, and I am more like following my heart. The plan for the future is not particularly clear, and if there is a good play, it will be performed, and if there is a good production, it will be produced. I think I'm the kind of actor who can act until I'm old, and how long I can act depends on my physical ability and interests. At this stage, I still want to concentrate on doing a good job. ”
Outside the play, Feng Lei's life is even more low-key. When he is not filming, he basically stays at home. "Look at books, look at the disc, on the one hand is to accumulate myself, on the other hand is to relax, I have developed the habit of watching discs for many years, watching all kinds of plays, good plays, bad plays." The joy of us as actors is that I'm still working when people are relaxed. I was able to relax and work, and it was good for me to see how people made this scene, where it was good and where it was bad. Sometimes I like to ask friends to come to the house for drinks and chats. When I rest, I am also observing life, and these bits and pieces of the future can be integrated into my creations. ”
