The TV series "Shangyang Fu" is being broadcast, which is Zhang Ziyi's first TV series work, and many excellent actors have also gathered in the play. But young audiences may not know that Jia Yiping, the actor who played Wang Yu's brother Wang Su, was also a "top- and"top-notch" actor in the film and television industry.
In the TV series "Shangyang Fu", Jia Yiping starred as Zhang Ziyi's older brother Wang Su.
In 2001, after Graduating from Chinese Opera, Jia Yiping won the Huabiao Best Newcomer Award. In the next few years, the TV series he starred in, "Qianlong Dynasty", "Zazhuang", "Chinese-style Divorce", and "Wrong Love For a Lifetime" were almost all ratings champions.
In those years, Jia Yiping swelled, and there were also times when he couldn't help himself and was pushed forward by capital. With the ebb and flow of capital, Jia Yiping knows that what he values most is the creation itself, and in recent years, if he has not impressed his script, he would rather not act, "Not acting well, acting badly but humiliating." ”
"Shangyang Fu" ——
He and Zhang Ziyi are classmates and have been "neighbors" for four years.
Jia Yiping and Zhang Ziyi are Chinese opera students, one is a 97-level acting department, and the other is a 96-level. Zhang Ziyi was a candidate majoring in dance before, although he was one level older than Jia Yiping, but he was a little younger than him, and he always called him "Old Jia".
At that time, there were not many Chinese opera students, from the first year to the senior year, and the total number of acting departments was only seventy or eighty. Because there were few people, the accommodation was not divided into male and female areas, and it was later divided into a male and female floor. They all lived in a dormitory building, were neighbors for four years, looked up and didn't look down, and the relationship naturally had nothing to say.
Later, Zhang Ziyi became the "international chapter", Jia Yiping also occupied a position in the domestic film and television drama industry, although the two have not cooperated, the development route is different, but the affirmation of each other's business capabilities and professional tacit understanding has always been there.
In 2018, Zhang Ziyi was preparing for her TV series debut "Shangyang Fu", when the drama "Beijing Fayuan Temple" starring Jia Yiping was on tour. After watching the performance, Zhang Ziyi handed an olive branch to Jia Yiping, hoping that he would play his brother Wang Su in the play.
In "Shangyang Fu", the former Chinese opera classmates played brothers and sisters.
Jia Yiping has seen some of the original works, but has not read all of them, "I don't need to be preconceived, I think dramas and novels are definitely not the same thing." In his opinion, although the Wang Su played by him was born in the clan, he was a person without a desire for power, and even hated to fight for power and profit, he was very clean in his heart and paid attention to family affection. The role is not particularly much, just a needle-and-threaded character, "What I need to do is to show this character, and I don't want to interpret things other than his understanding, the more I act, the more I taste, and each character should have its own positioning." ”
In order to show the young weight loss of 12 pounds, the response actor is older
Although the plot does not emphasize the age of Wang Su when he appeared, Jia Yiping still made a lot of efforts in order to play a good role when he was young, and in half a month, he reduced from 138 pounds to 126 pounds, "I hope that I can lose a little, so that people will appear more energetic." ”
In "Shangyang Fu", the heroine Wang Yan, played by Zhang Ziyi, starts from the age of 15 and Zhen Zhili, and the actors of other roles of the same generation in the play also have to challenge the growth process from young to adult. At the beginning of the broadcast, the topic of middle-aged actors collectively playing roles in their youth triggered discussion among the audience.
Jia Yiping said that in fact, in the creative process, I really didn't think about it so much, he was older than Zhang Ziyi, playing her brother was definitely no problem, Zhao Yazhi played their mother, "Just Yu Hewei is relatively young, he and I are the same age, but we have to play our father, and Zhao Yazhi plays a husband and wife, which is very difficult for an actor." ”
In the play, Yu Hewei and Zhao Yazhi play the parents of Jia Yiping and Zhang Ziyi.
But as a creator of the film and television industry, Jia Yiping feels that there is no way to do it, this volume of TV series, the main play of the male and female protagonists is from a young age, can not use 15-year-old young actors to play such a complex role, "like the "Kangxi Dynasty" such a work, as long as you change a small actor can, but this play is not OK, to change all, it will become a children's drama, two layers of skin. ”
However, Jia Yiping feels that there are actually some ways to solve it, such as weakening the concept of "and the gift of the fence" from the script, "I think the screenwriter also wants to respect the original work as much as possible, so I hope everyone can understand." ”
【Inside and outside the set】
Raising his knife to confront the second prince, he lost his voice
On the shooting scene, almost every opponent scene, Jia Yiping and Zhang Ziyi will add some improvised things during rehearsals, "So many years, the tacit understanding is still there, we can quickly know what the other party wants." ”。
Wang Su, played by Jia Yiping, has a major scene - the second prince Zilu launched a palace coup, escorted Wang Su and Wang Yu's brothers and sisters to the square of the palace, married Wang Su's concubine Huan Mi, and wanted to "rest" Wang Su. For such a group scene with many clues, Jia Yiping felt that he was in the center of a contradiction, and the second prince wanted to take his wife, which was a very positive conflict, "so I told the director that I wanted to add a scene where I rushed directly with a knife." ”
Zhang Ziyi had a small accident before filming this scene, and her arm was dislocated. When filming, her arm has not fully recovered, can not move, filmed when Jia Yiping rushed up with a knife, according to the needs of the plot, Zhang Ziyi as a sister should go to block, Jia Yiping instinctively waved his hand, just touched Zhang Ziyi's injured arm. Because the machine has been following, but also have to continue to act, Jia Yiping trance, the lines did not shout out, the vocal cords also rolled a little, "At that time, I lost my voice, I have filmed for so many years, I have never encountered a lost voice, the crew quickly found me a Chinese medicine to do acupuncture." ”
Jia Yiping also shared photos of acupuncture after being "Hugh" on social media, and Monday Wei and Zhang Ziyi also came to take a group photo.
At the peak of his career, there was swelling and involuntariness
In 2001, Jia Yiping entered the National Theatre of China after graduating from Chinese opera, and in the same year won the Best Newcomer Award at the 7th China Film "Huabiao Awards" for his film "Silent River". Since 2002, he has starred in the TV series "Qianlong Dynasty", the TV series "Zazhuang", which depicts the shady scenes of the stock market, the TV series "Chinese-style divorce" and "Wrong Love For a Lifetime".
The "Chinese-style Divorce" in which Jia Yiping and Zuo Xiaoqing participated in that year once created a ratings miracle.
Thinking back to several popular works in those years, Jia Yiping said that the ratings at that time were astronomical now, "Now the ratings are very powerful, and those TV series in the past were more than 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, or even more than a dozen." There weren't so many entertainment channels at that time, and at eight o'clock in the evening, everyone went home to watch TV. ”
With the broadcast of high-rating works, Jia Yiping has also expanded. "It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, I had read all the scripts on the market and would look for me first. I am also too confident, but I will not lose my temper with others and play big cards, but I will be particularly picky, and I think that this play has me. ”
Around 2010, capital and hot money began to pour into the film and television industry, which also pushed Jia Yiping to the forefront of the storm. Three years later, Jia Yiping, who had attracted investment, opened a film and television media company and prepared to shoot a TV series himself. "Those years tired me, gave me the indicators, 40 episodes of TV series, three a year, to manage the script, but also to act, some also have to be producers, manage editing, anyway, all aspects have to be managed." 」
Jia Yiping
When many factors pushed him forward, Jia Yiping found that these were completely different from what he imagined, but when he woke up, the entire company's employees and the investors behind him were counting on him, and the responsibility made him have to stick to it. "Involuntariness" was his only feeling at that time.
The most painful thing is that Jia Yiping is a person with feelings and requirements, "I am a person, the things I make are not good, I really can't go over, I will go to be more real, and my energy can't keep up." ”
Not acting is not wrong, and it is really humiliating to not act well
When the boom of capital receded, Jia Yiping decided to return to acting itself. But the environment around us has long been in a mess. In recent years, his works have not been much, "In fact, I have been filming, but for various reasons many have not been broadcast." ”
After experiencing all kinds of things in the past, Jia Yiping felt that filming still had to adhere to his own principles, and he could impress himself by filming, and he did not force it when he could not meet it, "No acting is not wrong, acting well is called humiliation, in fact, the best state is not to take yourself too seriously." I've been lucky that so far, I haven't come across an unprofessional crew. ”
"I always thought I was a craftsman." Jia Yiping boiled down people in this industry to three kinds of values, the first being commercial value, which means that this person has the ability to shake capital. There is also a kind of entertainment value, "there is a topic, not necessarily any work, but always can make people focus on him/her, usually there is no good thing, this is the entertainment value." He categorized himself as the third kind of artistic value, "I think I still have a little artistic value, such as you ask me to play a play, you have confidence in me, I can do what you want, if possible, it will be better than you think." 」 ”
Although it is nearly a confusing year, in Jia Yiping's view, the actor's artistic life has just begun, from a worldwide point of view, a good actor, the real good work should be after the age of 50, "such as Marlon Brando, "The Godfather", that is the work of the gods. Including Al Pacino, Hiroko Tanaka, Jiao Huang, So Zhi, Hu Qingshu teachers in China, and so on. ”
Characters who are truly skilled and artistically accomplished cannot be too young. "This is related to a person's self-cultivation and life experience."
