Huang Xuan, look who's awake inside.

Not long ago, actor Huang Xuan had a chance to chat with several monks. The other party was curious about an actor's career and asked, "How can you play so many different roles?" Huang Xuan replied, "I don't have the ability to be a different role. I just try to turn those characters into me. " The monk thought for a moment and said, "That's the same as us."

In a quiet room, the air is not light, but there is some kind of semi-solidified and heavy power in this silence. Huang Xuan sat in front of the cosmetic mirror and chatted with us. His deep and gentle voice added a dramatic atmosphere to the room. There is no hustle and bustle, and no staff always stare at the public relations behind them. It is easy to think of how Huang Xuan presented himself in the audition scene, so that he was chosen by many great directors. He can easily create a sense of atmosphere. His voice seems to be naturally suitable for telling stories, or saying a sentimental line. Even if nothing is said, his skin is full of real texture, and his eyes shine like animals, all of which create an indescribable atmosphere, which is real, tense, with delicate details, and there are undercurrents under the calm water.

The actor's texture is great. There are many sculptural handsome male stars with a height of 180 cm, but there are few eyes that can "see the broken camera lens" or seem to have a thousand words to say. Where does the good texture come from? It's like a wonderful inspiration, confusing and given by God, but I'm sure it doesn't come from the skin, but mostly from the soul. Soul, especially the soul of an actor, needs to be refined in the process of creating a good work and in life. It needs to be immersed in the real fireworks, avoid becoming a castle in the air, and need to be isolated from it, otherwise it will get stuck in the mud and become commonplace if it is not careful. Huang Xuan must be the kind of person who cherishes, carries and forges his soul, a person who cherishes his feathers and lives as an actor.

He looked inside and saw that the people inside were awake.

In a program, director Chen Kaige praised Huang Xuan and mentioned that it was snowing heavily one day while filming The Legend of the Demon Cat. The director was inspired to take a temporary photo of Bai Juyi, a poet played by Huang Xuan, in the snow. This is not the scope of work agreed by Huang Xuan when he signed the contract, but Huang Xuan stood in the snow in a thin robe for 45 minutes, and the director said that he was very dedicated.

Do you often encounter such a harsh environment at work? Anyway, a lot. But is it just out of dedication? Not exactly. "Special enjoyment!" Huang Xuan's voice rose by an octave. "I don't feel bitter at all. Although I felt uncomfortable physically, it made me feel the mood of this role at that time. For me, this is something that excites myself and the audience. "

In a quiet daily life, it is difficult for us to realize ourselves, but in extreme cases, we will be unconsciously inspired. "For me, every role is to develop and discover ourselves, and our understanding of our own richness is never enough." This is an important driving force for Huang Xuan to regard film creation as his dream and career, so he feels happy and full. "Actors seem to be constantly shaping others. In fact, we find ourselves through others."

In the TV series "Ning Min Town" currently being filmed, Huang Xuan plays a young village official who graduated from an agricultural school and returned to his backward hometown in northwest China, leading the people in his hometown living in poor soil to get rid of poverty step by step and become rich. The shooting location is not far from his hometown, but this time he realized that not far from Lanzhou, the city where he grew up, it is a Gobi, and the land is like this: nothing grows, nothing grows, and yellow sand is all over the sky. "I just heard that a family has only one pair of pants. Whoever goes out to wear it will know that it is true when he gets there. " He said that after a whole day in the sun without any shade, his skin became dark and rough, and he had to take a sip of sand every day. "But it is such a place where nothing grows and there seems to be no possibility of survival. There are still people living there, and even the government has arranged for them to move out. Many people are reluctant to leave. If they leave, others will flee back. "

In this new shooting process, he tried to understand what he didn't understand. Those who don't know the outside world, but still cling to their homeland even if they are poor, and those who have devoted their lives to promoting water supply, electricity supply, irrigation and economic development in this soil, have a hard time every step, and have another persistent belief in mediating between the requirements of their superiors and those who don't understand policies. They really existed, existed, and became a part of the historical torrent.

"Actor this profession is too special. No other profession makes people try to be others every day. I will always shuttle between the true and the false. You know that it is false, a story and a play, but it allows you to let go of your self-concealment in daily life and become your true self. " Huang Xuan said that the performance shaped his outlook on life, even his outlook on the world and history, and made him piece together like a jigsaw puzzle, gradually becoming conscious and complete.

About regret

"It's a pity that this thing is not established. After that time, whatever you go to see, you will have new ideas or new understandings. If you stay in the old cognition, there will always be regrets. What can you do? I respected every feeling at that time. If I feel that I felt it at that moment, or my understanding is here and my performance is here, that is my moment. After that, you passed. After that, you are not who you used to be, and your feelings are different. There is nothing to regret. At that moment, I was me and the role was the role. "

About fear

"People are independent individuals, each with its own fears. I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid of getting sick, and I'm afraid of hurting others unintentionally. I think the main reason is fear of death. Maybe one day after I have a deep understanding of death, my fear of life will be much less. "

About dreaming

"I always dream, especially frequently. I always dream that I want to go on stage in my dreams and wake myself up. When filming, I always dream of reciting words, but I just can't recite them, so I have to worry and wake up myself. Maybe I will give myself some pressure at work. "

About understanding

"Every actor should have a starting point when he enters a role. That moment was an enlightening moment for me. A few days before this moment comes, it may have been in a state of detachment: should this person be like this or like that? Looking for it in groping, anxiety and uneasiness,

Then suddenly there is a scene or a shot, or a line that lets you find a starting point and enter the role,' Oh, it should be like this.' But what will this entry point be? Not necessarily. Capturing the complex and subtle feelings of the character seems to be a state of accepting him. I firmly believe that' he is like this, so I should behave like this', but before the moment of' enlightenment', he is often in a state of looking for characters. "

About the future

"As far as creation is concerned, as long as it is an interesting role that I have never tried, or a role with a lot of psychological space, I want to try. I especially have this desire, and I'm afraid this kind of opportunity will not appear often. As for the broadening of my identity in the film industry, after ten years of trying, I feel that I am still more suitable to be an actor. "

About actors

"There are too many good actors! Of course, an actor who is not as crazy or alive as Daniel Day Lewis is the benchmark for many actors. I like joaquin phoenix, too. His full devotion shows his inner strength to the fullest, which makes me more convinced that performance can impress people, influence people and even change people. "

About dance

"The control of muscles that I learned in dancing made me better shape my role through my body. The actor's body is like a painter's brush, and dancing gives me more control over my body. Then there is the sense of rhythm. Through dancing, I understand the rhythm of music. Of course, performance also needs a sense of rhythm, which is intrinsically related. "
