Interview with Chen Xiao | Don’t read the cause and effect, only follow the original intention

In an interview in "Menghua Lu", director Yang Yang could not hide his praise to Chen Xiao, saying that it was a very "security" cooperation. From makeup to lines, from raising to playing, even his eyes seemed to speak. At that time, Gu Qianfan, who was very selfless and fierce, sometimes delicate, gentle and considerate, under the interpretation of Chen Xiao's extremely layered sense, he jumped into the eyes of the audience vividly.

Twelve years since his debut, Chen Xiao's costume seems to have never disappointed. Whether it is the simple and kind nineteen brother Yunxi in "Palace Lock Bead Curtain", or the wise prince Gao Zhan in "The Legend of Lu Zhen", or the loyal and smart Yang Guo in "The Condor Heroes", each The characters are impressive, and the audience once gave him the title of "costume male god".

Even so, Chen Xiao's drama has not been restricted because of this. Prior to "Menghua Record", many modern dramas he played were still dazzling, allowing people to see his superb acting skills and powerful role control skills from it. In fact, regardless of the costume drama or modern drama, Chen Xiao is more concerned about the love of the script and character compared to the character type and whether it can be fire. "I think filming is originally a matter of love, hobbies are the source of inspiration and creative power. As Zhao Pan'er said in the play,‘ do n’t read the cause of the cause, only to follow the original intention at the time ’.

With the increase of age, Chen Xiao admits that there are some roles you want to play, and it is really no longer easy to play, but this kind of hardship and challenge may be encountered by each actor. Ask for survival. However, there are always many methods than difficulties. In Chen Xiao's view, everyone will find a gap belonging to themselves, and then take root in unremitting persistence and efforts to bud and bloom unique flowers.

QA

Iconspro: In the previous interview, you mentioned that Gu Qianfan in "Menghua Record" is a complicated contradiction. How do you show his sense of contradiction and layering?

Chen Xiao: The script itself gives him a lot of noodles. In the Imperial City Division, he usually has a face in his work unit. He may have another face after encountering Zhao Pan'er. I think it is quite noodle. As for how to show it, I think it ’s still by the director. The director will capture the actor’ s performance. She often tells us, do n’t have too much concern, you will be free and relaxed. Will be able to catch your different sides. (Iconspro: What will be used for the performance of the eyes?) Anyway, I remember what the director had always told us at the time to perform.

Iconspro: This time is also the first time to partner with Liu Yifei. Can you evaluate it?

Chen Xiao: I think she is faster than everyone when she enters the role from the beginning. When I played with her on the first day, I felt that she was Zhao Pan'er herself, and then everything she did at the scene. I feel that this is Zhao Pan'er. However, at the beginning, there would be some nervousness when entering the crew, so she felt that she might not be Gu Qianfan, but at first glance, she was Zhao Pan'er, so she still felt that she would enter the state as soon as possible. But she is also a very easy -going and well -speaking person. She showed up with her to feel the atmosphere is very harmonious, and she could soon enter that state. (Iconspro: So in fact, because she entered the role of Zhao Pan'er very early, it also gave you a strong sense of trust?) Yes.

Iconspro: The director praised your acting skills in previous interviews, saying that this is a very secure cooperation. How did you quickly communicate with the director and reach a consensus on the shooting site?

Chen Xiao: Actually, I communicated with director Yang Yang less and I trusted her very much. When I don't know how to perform, what I take may be a relatively lazy way, that is, listening to the director, and letting the director tell me what to do. Iconspro: In addition to letting you perform freely, what are the special requirements for you?

Chen Xiao: She let me relax. Just like the drama I just appeared in the imperial city division, the director asked me to lie on it and let me find a stick to play and play. I feel that I will give me another kind of inspiration. I will feel that picture immediately, which is the director to remind the actors.

Iconspro: In the play, Gu Qianfan and Zhao Pan'er's status are actually cloudy. Why do you think he was attracted by Zhao Pan'er later?

Chen Xiao: I think he has been attracted from the beginning, but he does not know himself, and he knows it later. After turning in contact, after a lot of things, he remembered that I found that I liked this person at the beginning, but I didn't know it.

Iconspro: In the costume characters you have played, Gu Qianfan, Yang Guo and Bai Yutang, whose force do you think is the highest?

Chen Xiao: The highest martial arts? That must be Yang Guo's martial arts highest. (Iconspro: Who is the weakest?) It should be Gu Qianfan's weakest.

Iconspro: If you play basketball with Gu Qianfan, who do you think will be layup first?

Chen Xiao: Gu Qianfan is powerful. (Iconspro: Why do you think he will be willing to worship?) He can kill me with a palm.

Iconspro: Because of the popularity of "Menghua Record", many netizens now have gained a lot of attention in your previous roles and show fragments. What do you think of this attention?

Chen Xiao: Thank you for your attention, thank you really. It is not easy to see a character. If you can still be liked, it is love.

Iconspro: Gu Qianfan in "Menghua Record" is a very high -light person, but it feels that you are still very low -key in life. How do you balance work and life?

Chen Xiao: Just try to make it the best according to the director's requirements. Don't want to start work without starting.

Iconspro: Will you start chasing the drama during this time?

Chen Xiao: I will see some, but because I am still in the process of shooting, I haven't finished chasing.

Iconspro: Is there any impressive barrage?

Chen Xiao: The comments of netizens opened the barrage in the first episode, and I did not open it behind. I think it will affect me to watch the show.

Iconspro: What do you usually pay more attention to when you watch your play?

Chen Xiao: In fact, it is a bit subjective to see yourself, not objective enough, and it is different from others to see you. This is a very strange phenomenon. So when we filmed, we wo n’t go to the director's monitor to see our playback.

Iconspro: How can I establish a role as soon as possible as an actor's interpretation and their own experience or a long personality distance?

Chen Xiao: Enter the role as soon as possible, rely on directors, teams, and Liu Yifei. Because I am relatively slow to enter the role, the golden character is actually a bit nervous, but they created a (very good) environment for me. After entering that scene, I saw the scenery and light they took, including how the director told everyone, what kind of state of your opponent actor, just catch it.

Iconspro: Many people boast that your eyes are particularly powerful. How can you express it with your eyes?

Chen Xiao: I think the director gave everyone a very free creative space. Anyway, Yang Yang said that my machine can catch your small details. She has been emphasizing what you think in your heart. Go away, don't have any scruples, just perform, my machine can definitely catch you.

Iconspro: You have played a lot of costume characters before, and netizens said that as long as you play costumes, you will definitely explode. But in the past two years, in addition to "Yun Xiang Biography", you will have more modern dramas. Is this that you are consciously making adjustments?

Chen Xiao: It's my own hobby. I think filming is originally a matter of love, hobbies are the source of creative power of your filming, and the source of your inspiration. If you have always played the same role, the freshness may be a little worse, you will try a little more, you may also give yourself a adjustment. (Iconspro: So in fact, when picking up the show, I hope to stimulate their creativity, rather than consider whether it can be fire?) All things of potential and creativity are actually not good. I think Zhao Pan'er is Zhao Pan'er What you say, do not read the cause and effect, only follow the original intention at the time, I think this sentence is particularly good. I think it ’s good to take a role or a show. In fact, I do n’t know what will happen. I just like this script at the moment, I like to play with everyone, I like this role, I like this role, I like this role. Then I play.

Iconspro: As the earliest entertainer who has transformed and successfully transformed in 85 students, the acting skills have also been recognized by the public. Will the popularity of "Menghua Record" affect the choice of your subsequent characters?

Chen Xiao: No? It shouldn't. (Iconspro: Will many of the scripts connected during this period of time? Is it possible to have more costumes than a few years ago?) In fact, Liu Yifei told me that the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role, the most important thing is the role. Instead of nothing. I went back to think about it later. I think it ’s good. In fact, what type, costume or modernity is not important, what is important is that what is impressed by that person. (Iconspro: Why did I talk about this topic?) I don't know when it was, maybe when I was chatting, she told me this, (iconspro: What do you think of this? Do you think there are special specialties? Reason?) Yes, she felt right when she said. Iconspro: Now watching the costume is more handy for you, but these years you have also tried many different roles. There are police, soldiers, and disappointed reporters. What do you think of these characters bring you?

Chen Xiao: experience. I think there are often some things that you go through, and this ability is growing on your body. Others can't steal it. As an actor, I think it is very valuable. Many times I feel that it will feel, oops, it seems that I have encountered it. I have experienced such an experience before. When I need such emotions and feelings at this moment, I know what I should do.

Iconspro: Will some voices on the Internet oppose or criticized?

Chen Xiao: I accept it. (Iconspro: Will those voices put pressure on you? Will you put those things at your heart?) I think it will be good, everything is accepted.

Iconspro: Is there an impressive criticism or evaluation?

Chen Xiao: Criticism is okay. What impressed me most was that they called me Gu Lao Liu. (Iconspro: I thought it was particularly cute at that time?) I always think this name is particularly like a crayfish shop.

Iconspro: Will it make it difficult for you to play the role you want to play?

Chen Xiao: If it really becomes difficult to perform, then see if there are any other ways. Everyone is the same. They all seek survival in the gaps, find a gap belonging to their own, and then take root. (Iconspro: That is to say, in the past few years, have you encountered challenges and difficulties?) Is it the same?)

Iconspro: Do ​​you make some more specific plans for work or life? For example, what award I want to win in five years.

Chen Xiao: No, it's not you thought, right? (Iconspro: There is a saying that I do n’t believe it.) I do n’t believe it. I think it ’s just right to do it now. Think about it.
