"Hello, I'm Li Naiwen." At the moment when the voice was connected, Chen Minghao joked, using his unique bubble sound. Meng Jinghui once described that voice: "It's like rusty iron, but there is a sharp light hidden under the rust."
If "The Long Season" was popular, on one hand, the film and television audience exclaimed what a treasured actor "Birch Forest Dance King" and the drama fans calmly said, "Well, he has been popular on the theater stage for a long time", then after two years, such a circle temperature difference seems to have disappeared. Even more and more audiences are not only familiar with his image and voice, but also have a preliminary impression of the work because his name appears in the starring lineup: maybe you can take a look.
At present, the TV series "Chess" ended. After the actor wrote the farewell speech of "A game of chess is over, perfect", he took off his "brother" mask and waited to see him again in the May Day new film "One Only". From the "treasure" in the film and television industry that is not so obvious, to the "sharp light" exposed in front of a wider audience, he is more willing to explore how he spent his days in reality than discussing whether or not he is fire.
In an exclusive interview with our newspaper, Chen Minghao compared being an actor with living: "You still have to put yourself in the dramatic situation and synchronize with him. After filming for so long, you have to live together, and actors and actors have to live together, and actors and roles have to live."
White holder
If the ecstasy dance of "The Long Season" cannot be gone, then the audience will be stunned for a moment when they first meet Chen Minghao in "The Chessman". Too different.
When Ma Desheng twisted Latin in "The Long Season" and was criticized by the barrage, "this crotch can be declared as an intangible cultural heritage", not many people could have imagined that the unruly horse team that had been dispersed for a lifetime would eventually fall into the world in birth, old age, sickness and death.
When he arrived at "The Chess", he was also the captain of the criminal police, but Cui Wei's story line was almost out of the blue: a guardian of justice, like a father and elder brother, when he let go of his fists and spread his palms, he found that finding out the truth and falling into a dilemma of family affection, the two time lines were connected together. Not only did there be no reversal, but the younger brother Cui Ye took the black lead in the conversation in "The Chessman". For a long time, Heizi was in charge of the situation, and his opera eyes were also tied to Heizi. The white-holder seems to have lost some "final killing moment".
"Play is life, drama is the whole." Chen Minghao said calmly, "Watching dramas does not mean that people only focus on the best and most outstanding ones." In his performance dictionary, every present and now is a superposition of countless pasts. "The mission of an actor is to give these 'moment' logical reality. Like playing chess, black pieces and white pieces are indispensable." Corresponding to the play, because of the younger brother who was covered up by his brother's light over the years, there is a flame of guilt in the credit union's roller shutter door that begins with "emotional revenge", and there is a blind spot for solving the problem under inertial thinking. Because there was an older brother who had umbrellas for his younger brother along the way, the sympathy and the law were unforgiving when they were able to understand him.
However, in the online world where short videos and even a few seconds of animations are used to judge acting, some prefer performances that can immediately leverage emotions and have full drama tension; some people think that compared to external performances that rely on body, lines, and emotions that open and close together, inner dramas that are more precious. Netizens want to distinguish which is easier and which is difficult, Chen Minghao made a judgment question between choices: "There is no easy role to play." The restraint or outspoken nature of dealing with people is essentially the exterior of a person's inner world. "Actors have to find the secrets of the characters. Those who are on the surface are not called secrets." He said that if a character can stand, there must be many unknown things. They have to guess and ponder, and pick up the puzzle of the characters little by little in the secret world, combine and digest, and finally projected in words and deeds.
Chen Minghao admitted that he likes characters that he cannot figure out. "Sometimes I can't figure it out at once, this is a good thing. It's clear at a glance when I come up, and then he will lose his taste in life."
The scene of Cui Wei eating instant noodles in the director's office was praised by the audience for his "textbook-style" performance. It was late at night. He had just returned to the police station from the excavation site of Qin Xiaoming's body. The clues and questions that had been rolling in his heart for a long time were all closed in an instant. He reported Cui Ye's name for the first time. The emotional dam of the criminal police captain collapsed after he personally identified his younger brother as the suspect. He blinked hard, but his eyes still couldn't hold the new tears; he bit his back teeth, but his heartache still poured out from his trembling chin and the corners of his mouth; he tried to lock all his attention on the bowl of noodles in front of him, but like thousands of words stuck in his throat and bumped into the stirring internal organs, vomiting, and tears flowing...
The actor's out-of-control emotional and physiological reactions are likely not the result of "performance". "Suspense, crime, life flow, everyone wants to 'everything'. Thinking about it the opposite, it is actually 'people-oriented'. Refining the sway, suspense and changes of human nature, and chatting people with understanding, things will be natural." Chen Minghao said that Cui Wei's love for his younger brother over the past few decades cannot be summarized. At this time, emotional changes cannot be easily "clear in black and white" due to major issues. He is a white piece on the chessboard, but this layer of white is "colorful" that is difficult to truly understand.
A sense of danger
In the Internet era, when a person becomes "popular", the mystery will gradually become a luxury.
Just like Chen Minghao, after the role of the Horse Team broke the circle, he was known to more and more people in the "Central Drama 96th Level" when he was in the same school years as a star actor; his friendship with Meng Jinghui for many years was both a teacher and a friend, and his "slash" performance as a director and an artistic director of the Drama Festival is no longer just a legend in the circle.
Many film and television audiences are "archaeological" while admiring his amazing work endurance - Fatty Wang, who is agile and quick-witted in "Sand Sea"; Wang Yang, an idealist in "Ideal City", is in a complex workplace but cold outside but hot inside; he can play the captain of the criminal police who hates evil in "Long Sea" and "Chess", and also interprets the vicious bandit Wang Dayong in "Three Teams" to a deep understanding; Lu Ziye, a tycoon who warns that "nine out of ten projects are cool, and commercial investment is normal", is in line with his natural suspense constitution. But who would have thought that turning around and playing the "ex-husband brother" in "Restarting the 180-day plan" would be willful and affectionate and charming. This year, he also participated in the film list to be screened, including "One One" and "The Unknown 2". So much so that the audience sighed: "Chen Minghao can act anything and adapt everything."
The praise was conveyed, and he kept saying no to the other end of the online line: "Yoyo, this is quite scary." He felt that "everything is worthy" was too grand in the scope of creation. In fact, "most of the 'actor's creation is to wait for opportunities, wait for inspiration, and wait for bursts of excitement." Now he really wants to play the role of "I don't know how to play". This character that makes him at a loss can come from Shi Haikou, or it may be an alien creature, "it's better a character that can be thought about for a long time." He even refused to "do anything": "Don't magnify the performance to omnipotence. Of course, actors can determine some colors and a partial state, but he is just one link in all jobs and cannot decide everything."
More often, the "study" and "scene" on the theater stage have made Chen Minghao cherish the sense of danger in himself. Specifically, it is like the "sensitivity" of the highest rhetorical grammar. "Actors can keep and believe in this sense of danger on the stage and on the set, and they can come up with some of their true things." Facts have proved that it is this "sense of danger" that has frequently added color to Chen Minghao's cooperation with the new director. When filming "Long Seasons", the actor had to put on old makeup. After more than 5 hours, the actor looked at himself who was getting older in the mirror, and his heart suddenly became soft. He and director Xin Shuang suggested that "it is not suitable for a lonely life" and whether he can add a dog to the elderly horse team. Xin Shuang, an advertiser who was playing the band, agreed and turned around and found a dog in accordance with Chen Minghao's appearance. She was amused and crying, but it was a true masterpiece.
"There is no fixed paradigm for performance. In a sense, no matter how you perform, it is right. What is important is that the actors open themselves, their bodies gain perception, and things are revealed and expressed, and the audience just feel it." Chen Minghao admitted that acting requires talent, which is difficult to express, and it cannot be quantified. If you have to talk about the value, significance and even improvement of the performance, "the link with the audience and the perception of the fragmented daily life may be more important."
Interestingly, his loyal fans of movies and drama fans tried to get close to Chen Minghao's true nature through the characters. Unruly, humorous, casual, follow the trend, vigorous and romantic, these may be the concise and synthesis of his past characters' personalities. "It's still too one-sided, this is just one side." Chen Minghao said, but then he changed the subject, "If these adjectives were obtained after watching the play I acted, I'm quite happy, which means that the audience is very curious about me, right?" Reporter Wang Yan said.
