Advanced class of traditional Chinese opera photography

Many years ago, in the Chinese opera class, the performance teacher said to a big boy, "You are very handsome and have a wide range of performances, which is very suitable for playing the positive roles of police and factory director."

The teacher hit the nail on the head.

The filming was silent for a long time, and Wang Kai's two plays came together.

One is Qing Ping Le, in which he plays the tolerant and kind emperor Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong.

One is fox hunting, and his identity is the "genius" of the criminal investigation detachment of Beijiang Public Security Bureau.

Looking around, Wang Kai has been in the cinema for more than ten years. No matter the leading actor or the supporting actor, most of them are elite and decent characters.

Apart from the midday play, in the works of directors Alec Su and Sheng Ding, his roles are mostly the embodiment of justice and handsomeness.

Even in "The True Color of Heroes 20 18", he is the eldest brother with the principle of bottom line, even though he is wandering in the Jianghu.

When filming and chatting, Wang Kai asked the director, and Sheng Ding, who had worked together twice, said to him, "You are like a declining aristocrat, usually with a little embarrassment."

Most of them were after Wang Kai met the mountain shadow and the midday sun. Who would have thought that before there was no war, pretenders and fire nirvana in Beiping, many people's impressions of him mostly stayed in the invincible ugly and sissy Chen Jiaming period?

The actor in a play was almost ruined by the pressure of life and the role of "sissy" Wang Kai graduated from Chinese Opera and signed with Huayi Brothers.

Before graduation, she played the male number six in Olivia's Cold Autumn.

Huang doesn't have many scenes, but his lines are good. By that time, he had already acted with his own soundtrack.

The students who graduated from Chinese opera are confident but a little arrogant. In addition, the signing of the contract with Huayi also made Wang Kai think about the future.

In the year of graduation, he bought a house in Beijing and boasted to his parents, "You help me pay the down payment first, and then I don't have to worry about the monthly payment."

Unexpectedly, I haven't received a play for a year.

Although Huayi is the top big company in the industry, there are so many artists that it is too difficult to get ahead.

At this time, Wang Kai remembered what the teacher often warned them in China opera class. "Don't think that if you get good grades in school, you will lose your job if you really graduate."

I don't have a chance to shoot, and I have to pay the mortgage. Besides, I bought a rough house. Wang Kai, who just graduated, had to pay the monthly mortgage while renting a house. Life is very tight.

In those days, he learned to cook all kinds of dishes in the rented room. When a friend called to invite him out, he refused. "If I have no money, I won't go out, and I still have some good face."

After living with his family for two or three times, Wang Kai could no longer pull his face and ask his parents for money. He doesn't want to cause trouble to others.

Under the pressure of life, he took great courage to borrow the first money from his friends.

"Why not sell the house?" Lu Yu asked him.

"Parents just bought and sold, which is not very good." When Wang Kai remembered his boasting about Haikou, he never thought of selling his house.

When food and clothing are not solved, the role is not good for actors. Wang Kai' s mind is only left, "What to eat tomorrow, how to pay the rent two days later, and how to pay the mortgage."

Life crushed him, and his heart became more and more panic. He also spent a period of depravity, closing the curtains and indulging in online games, day and night.

At this time, the crew of "Invincible Ugly Woman" gave him hope of life.

Wang Kai wanted to try other roles in the play, and finally the director told him, "So many people tried Chen Jiaming, and I was most satisfied with your performance."

Walk with your chest out and your waist twisted, and your voice is eight degrees high. A character who was supposed to be annoying suddenly became popular. In addition, the role of Chen Jiaming was quickly circled in Hunan Satellite TV.

Once Wang Kai went out with friends and stopped at a roadside stall to buy water. Although he was wearing sunglasses and a hat, the boss who sold things recognized him. "Hey, isn't that the invincible name of ugly women?"

The limelight even overshadowed the hero and heroine, and this was Wang Kai's first performance.

"Invincible Ugly Woman" was filmed for four seasons in a row, and Wang Kai played Chen Jiaming for two years.

However, Chen Jiaming is successful, and the bad thing is that Chen Jiaming is so vivid. Later, all the plays were similar to sissy, and Wang Kai pushed them away.

If this continues, he will be fixed in this image and his career as an actor will be over.

He fell into the days when he didn't shoot.

He insisted on his dedication and met his classmates in Wang Kai at noon. Many of them changed careers. Seeing that he is living a hard life, it is estimated that someone around him will say to him, "Forget it."

However, even without food and filming, Wang Kai always vaguely felt, "I will come out one day. I am different from others." He wants to follow his heart.

For the role of Chen Jiaming, he resisted again, and he didn't give up thinking about this role.

Chen Jiaming's supercilious expression, Wang Kai can do some different things, this action can learn from the friends he knows around him.

Wang Kai always remembers the secret taught by the teacher in Chinese opera: observe life and be a conscientious person.

Wearing a mask, sunglasses and hat, Wang Kai went into crowded places such as cinemas, railway stations and fast food restaurants to observe the tone and accent of real people, which made Wang Kai develop the habit of observing life.

He will also give appropriate details to the characters, such as Chen Jiaming in Invincible Ugly Woman. Although the role is exaggerated, it will make people feel disgusted and disgusting, so he tries to show his "cute" side.

While rejecting the role of "sissy", Wang Kai played a supporting role in some plays.

Until the drama "Educated Youth", he came into contact with the Shan Ying team who had filmed dramas such as "Walking East" and "Old Farmer", and the cast led by Hou Hongliang and Zhang Jianxin. Qi Yong, a tough educated youth with a flat head and stubble, let Wang Kai out of the shadow of "Chen Jiaming".

Educated Youth is a group drama, and each character has its own personality. Wang Kai's early performance was gone with the wind, while others lived, talked and did things. It's just that he speaks an octave high and exaggerates his movements, so it's difficult to integrate into the group.

Director Zhang Jianxin found him, "Wang Kai, you have to think about it."

Wang Kai is also very upset. "It's not that I can't act. Maybe I got used to this style during this time and didn't change it at once. "

He also tried to observe on the spot and found an interesting phenomenon. Newcomers are all catching their breath when preparing for filming, and big names are also catching their breath. Wang Kai also learned to take a deep breath. "Learn fur first, then gradually form a habit, and you will relax yourself."

After the staff finished their work, Wang Kai returned to his position to practice his lines. He will ponder a word for a long time, so it is not abrupt to say it.

He was also an educated youth, who let Wang Kai have more contact with Shan Ying's team, and then continued to cooperate with No War in Peiping, which was a turning point in Wang Kai's performance career.

In the play, I played against artists such as Chen, Liu Ye, Cheng Yu, Jiao Huang, Hong Ni, Liao Fan, Zu Feng, etc., especially the scene of "five people making a scene", in which all the stars gathered, and Fang did not lose, which was impressive.

The shooting at the scene was also arranged temporarily, because both the scene and the actors happened to be there. Kong Sheng asked Wang Kai, "Kai Zi, how are you going to shoot this scene? The actors are right there. If you have no problem, we will shoot. "

When Wang Kai saw that this was the scene of "Big Five", his lines were memorized, but he didn't think carefully. He wanted to have a try, but he didn't expect to pass it at the first time. "If there was an announcement that day, my mind would not be so relaxed."

This made Kong Sheng sit up and take notice of Wang Kai, thinking that the child was really careful.

Later, in The Past of Qingdao, Nirvana in Fire and Pretender, almost all the projects that Hou Hongliang and Kong Sheng participated in included Wang Kai, who also started from the supporting role of first hero to the leading role.

"Nirvana in Fire" was filmed earlier than "The Pretender", and it took Wang Kai three or four days to read the script in one breath. He likes the role of Wang Jing too much. He longs for good quality, but he also has similar stupidity and axial strength. He told Hou Hongliang that he really wanted to play this role.

"The competition for this role is very fierce. Many people want to play, so I did what I should do, expressed what I wanted to express, and handed myself over to fate. "

Finally, Hou Hongliang and Kong Sheng gave him this chance.

He also believed in this team and joined the Pretender crew after the filming of Nirvana in Fire.

There was a performance without war in Peiping before, and then The Pretender and Nirvana in Fire came out one after another. The roles of Ming Cheng and Wang Jing Xiao Jingyan made Wang Kai the most popular niche in that year.

Beauty, good hands and easy knockdown have become the "three treasures" of Wang Kai. In that year, all the star-chasing girls wanted to be Princess Jing and give him monkeys.

It is better to become famous late, just stay at the top of the mountain for a while and become famous overnight. Wang Kai didn't quite agree.

For the day when he became famous, he had long expected it. He always believed that "quantitative change will cause qualitative change."

But he still didn't expect that one day when he was walking at the airport, fans shouted his name and kept taking pictures.

When I first saw this scene, Wang Kai ran into the bathroom in horror.

Once, because I didn't wash my hair, I still wore a down jacket hat on my head, which was described by the media as "fully armed and indifferent".

Many people have asked him about becoming famous, and he has seriously thought about it after experiencing an uncomfortable period. "Being famous is not a bad thing, but also a recognition of actors. This is not original sin. How to go after becoming famous requires thinking. "

He was 33 years old in the year of the fire. He has experienced the pressure of life, without the dilemma of filming, the turning point of his career and more mature thoughts. He thinks that "it is better to become famous late than early."

Wang Kai thought that if he became famous, his assistant bodyguards would follow him and be surrounded by fans, and he would have lost his life, let alone experience and observe it.

The most taboo for actors is to be out of touch with society. When meeting some other characters, there is no accumulation of life. How do we understand roles?

He's a little lucky. He listened to the teachers and the seniors in the entertainment circle. "Take a good look at life, actors don't worry, and slowly accumulate."

When filming "No War in Beiping", his predecessors also told him that an actor can't shoot too deep a role, and it takes life to accumulate heroes. He likes to watch the performances of Chen, Cheng Yu and other predecessors, and he has also learned some playing experience.

While filming Nirvana in Fire and Pretender, Wang Kai chatted with Kong Sheng, and the director told him, "You have become confident." Wang Kai also felt that he was beginning to understand acting.

Good actors only care about the role, not whether they are actors or not, and also play down the "hype" and "flow" outside the play.

After the release of Qingpingle, it was either a "fight between actresses" in the play or other complaints from netizens. Wang Kai's hot search is rarely seen, and there are also related data platforms to count Wang Kai's data, which failed to surpass the popularity of "Stewed Sydney with Rock Sugar".

Some people began to sing bad songs, and the popularity of Wang Kai is fading.

However, at the moment of hot search and data transaction, Wang Kai's "Buddhist cold treatment" method makes people sit up and take notice.

"It is good not to be greedy. I am easily satisfied. If I have a peaceful heart, there won't be too many fetters and fetters. "

Wang Kai thinks Vanity Fair in the entertainment circle is a mountain, the top of which is very small and can only accommodate a few people. Others should go up, but you should remember the way back.

Experience, good or bad, is wealth to a good actor. A long time ago, Wang Kai wanted to change his image and played many "stalwart" images, including the emperor, the police, the group CEO and the police. Instead, he wants to play some realistic roles.

Couriers, water workers, migrant workers, etc. Facing the sky, squatting on the construction site is dirty.

Eating, he really wants to experience these roles.

In the "We are in Action" public welfare activity, Wang Kai took a hoe, pushed a car to the construction site and carried fertilizer. On the contrary, his smile looks more relaxed than attending various awards occasions.

While doing public welfare, you can experience life and guide fans in the direction of positive energy for public welfare. "What you do is more useful than what you say."

Just do what you say. Wang Kai's style of doing things has always been like this.

Before reading Chinese opera, Wang Kaiben inherited the mantle of the family and worked in a Xinhua bookstore in Wuhan. Carrying books is his daily job.

He has always wanted to take an art test, but when Xinhua Bookstore gives benefits to employees, his children can inherit their jobs. At that time, some children of colleagues around Wang Kai's parents retired from college, while others failed to pass the exam.

Wang Kai also gave up the college entrance examination under the persuasion of his parents.

After entering the society, Wang Kai worked, participated in model training classes, participated in satellite TV programs, and met some marginal people in the industry.

When he was working in Xinhua Bookstore, he saw the advertisement of "F4 Recruitment in Jiangcheng" in the newspaper, so he tried it. As soon as he came in, he was the director he met on TV.

When the other party saw him, he said excitedly, "Wang Kai, I have been looking for you for a long time, but I can't find your contact information."

While doing part-time advertising, Wang Kai came to Beijing by accident. When chatting, a director asked, "Are you from Nortel or Chinese Opera?" Wang Kai said he wasn't in any school. "Then you should try Nortel. You are in good shape. "

It was this sentence that brought Wang Kai back to Wuhan. In less than a week, he quit the "iron rice bowl" of Xinhua Bookstore and secretly kept it from his parents.

Wang Kai's family never understood being an actor. His father once made fun of him: "What kind of actor are you? Our Lao Wang family has never done this for generations. "

After learning that Wang Kai resigned and went to Beijing to take an examination of Chinese opera, Nortel and other schools, his family also figured it out. "The child didn't do anything bad. He wants to take the exam. "

After a semester of Shanghai Opera performance training, Wang Kai went to Beijing to take the performance examination and successfully passed the China Opera Performance Major.

Wang Kai thinks that he can take the road of being an actor, and his present achievements are also due to his simple stupidity, just like when Chen Jiaming's role in Ugly Woman solidified, he can still hold on until he receives his favorite role.

"My life is very casual and I don't like planning. I hope to give myself a surprise. " Don't aim too high, just take every step steadily.

Getting a favorite role is enough to make him happy for a while, such as Zhao Zhen in the recently released Qing Ping Le.

Just like a series of literati images such as Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi and Bao Zheng. In the play, cooperative actors, whether they are predecessors such as Yu Entai and wuyue or young peers such as Xu and Yang Le, can master the lines of classical Chinese well.

The role of Song Renzong also made him feel a bigger challenge than when he was in The River. Not only did the lines in classical Chinese test, but Song Renzong's forbearance and kindness were also well controlled, and he played from adulthood to his later years, with a great age span.

Zhao Zhen's role is not only the head of a country, but also the need to recruit virtuous ministers, balance court politics, face the truth of life, balance the feelings and rights of adoptive mothers, and play the role of father after middle age. Father and daughter, who are gentle with his daughter Zhao Hui, are also touching and abusive.

For this kind of role handling, it is also difficult to get into the play and abuse the heart.

At the end of the filming, Wang Kai was a little reluctant, and he developed feelings for the role.

"Don't treat acting as a job, just enjoy the moment." Every time he finishes filming, he will save the script, which is all wealth.

Even when I recall the role of Invincible Ugly Woman and Chen Jiaming, Wang Kai is no longer taboo, and he begins to accept the role.

During that period, it may be a "bad thing" to indulge in Chen Jiaming's performing arts career. Looking back now, it also proves that his choice is not wrong.

His passion for performing gave him the courage to try, and persistence was his excellent quality favored by the midday sunshine team.

When filming in the crew, the photographer asked him, "Which angle is better to shoot you?" Wang Kai shook his head. "Never mind whether it looks good or not, just shoot from which angle is most suitable for the performance."

There are not many such actors in the entertainment circle.
