For actor Yu Bo, the most familiar characters to many audiences are Lian Chengbi in "Xiao Shi Shilang", Tong Bo in "Shuiyuedongtian", and Jincheng in "Phantom Needle". For audiences born in the 1980s, Yu Bo was almost one of the hero image spokespersons in those martial arts TV dramas in his childhood.
"Shuiyuedongtian" stills Yu Bo said to himself that he had a hero complex since he was a child, and he liked to play some more heroic roles. When he was young, he was a hero who played across the rivers and lakes. Recently, in "The Trumpeter is in Place", which is currently being broadcast, Yu Bo starred in the "Dinghai Shenzhen"-like existence in the play - Rocket Army officer An Lei. "Being able to play the Rocket Army is the biggest attraction of this play." Yu Bo bluntly stated the reason for participating in this project.
"The Trumpet is in Place" stillsI want to shoot more heroic charactersBefore participating in "The Trumpeter in Place", Yu Bo was full of curiosity about the Rocket Army. After participating in the project, he had the opportunity to visit and experience the actual site of the Rocket Army, and learned about the history of the Rocket Army since its founding, important figures, and the step-by-step upgrade and evolution of the missile.
"I used to think that the Rocket Force was just launching missiles, and it was a very common branch of the military. After I got in touch with it, I understood it, and went to the actual venue, including the military school, to experience it, and then I found that the level of development of the Chinese Rocket Force is far beyond that. We imagine. We feel that the most cutting-edge scientific and technological strength of our country is first practiced in places like the Rocket Army. It really makes us sigh for the development of the Rocket Army. Seeing the high technology and deterrence of the Rocket Army, as China The common people feel very safe and proud." Yu Bo sighed that the Rocket Army is a powerful force that is shocking and deterrent. "Once it is used, it will most likely be a big war. Therefore, the Rocket Army is more often silently guarding the country. , the general public rarely feel the existence of the Rocket Army."
Yu Bo believes that "An Lei", as a Rocket Army officer presented in "The Trumpeter is in Place", has the greatest charm of the role in that he is not a symbolic character. "He is flesh and blood, very lifelike, and he has many conversations with him. The relationships between characters are intricate. His state of being with his wife and children is presented, so it is easier for the audience to accept that he is a real person rather than a masked character. "
"The Trumpeter is in Place" Stills For this performance, Yu Bo admitted that the biggest challenge he faced in the performance was that due to the particularity of the Rocket Army's theme, the performances were basically performed without physical objects in front of the green screen. " Because all the equipment and technology of the Rocket Army involve secrets, we can only rely on imagination to design some equipment environments and the like, and these require special effects in the later stage, and the performance is all based on imagination. To perform, it is more difficult when acting. "Fortunately, Director Li Lu has a deep understanding of the Rocket Army. "When he tells the actors, he will tell us 'what is here', 'what is there', 'what will it appear in the future'. When he talks, he gives the actors a sense of the picture, and there is a very real imagination there, so although the actors are performing without physical objects, the level of detail he said allows the actors to find some basis for performance. "
Another difficulty is the character's long monologue without communication. "My lines are sometimes one page or two pages, and most of the time I remember speaking two and a half pages in a row, and the volume of lines is particularly large. "There is no rival actor in the performance. As a brigade commander, "An Lei" is calm in his words and deeds, and he can't make too many big moves. He relies more on his eyes and tone to express his emotions, which makes the performance more difficult.
Yu Bo admitted that he did a lot of costume dramas when he was young. "At that time, I completely relied on my own physical strength to act. Fighting, horseback riding and other action scenes were more dangerous. But now it has come to a new stage, I want to try to be more restrained. I want to try more different drama types.” Yu Bo emphasized again: “But my original intention has not changed to this day. I want to make more heroic characters. The audience has some inspiration and encouragement."
Stills of "The Trumpeter is in Place" Speaking of "The Trumpeter is in Place", Yu Bo also talked about the on-site communication with the leading actor Li Yifeng about character shaping during filming, "He will worry about 'I am this Is his state not a soldier enough? I said that there is no need to think too much. His character was not a soldier at first. He just entered the military camp after graduating from college. From the beginning, his image and temperament state was wrong. From not being a soldier to being a soldier, First of all, there must be some basic training, physical training, quality training, and self-cultivation training, which will take a period of time to hone. After you have been a soldier for a few years, the image and temperament of a soldier will only change. It comes out from the inside out, so I say: your 'unlike' is actually right." According to Yu Bo, this involves the actor's "staged understanding" of the role. "The filming is all broken up in paragraphs, and the shooting schedule is arranged according to the scene. When all the scenes and plots are disrupted, for an actor, what can't you lose? It is the story line and character line from beginning to end. "
"For example, when two people fall in love, they never realize they know each other, and then they become ambiguous and fall in love with each other. You have to show this process. You can't clearly know that the two have just met, but the performance status is very familiar. You can't be an old couple. The old wife's performance is a young couple who are in love."Yu Bo emphasized: "The integrity of a character comes partly from the staged nature of his character's relationship, and the staged nature cannot be lost or disrupted. Performance is not to achieve the goal, the performance is the process, the process of emotion, the process of growth, not just a result of a face. "
Being an actor requires a good attitude, and you can't be eager for quick success.
Talking about the works that have been in the industry for many years and impressed me the most, Yu Bo said that the most unforgettable time was when he first made his debut and filmed "Xiao Shiyi Lang". "I especially miss that time, the crew All the actors in the show live together, and everyone will discuss and communicate with each other for a play. I want to play how you want to play. The atmosphere is very warm and very happy. Even if a play is not well performed today, this atmosphere has always infected us and prompted each other to work hard. In such an environment, the performance will grow the fastest. Yu Bo said frankly, "Many crews are shooting at a very fast pace now, and they are all rushing for time. There is no communication in life between actors and actors. When it comes to dramas, they also lack the opportunity and energy to understand each other and discuss performances. . "
"Xiao Shishilang" stills "This is not to say that it is unacceptable, maybe this is what the times need. But perhaps the biggest missing piece is that on the set, the human touch between people is getting less and less. In fact, the sense of familiarity and communication in an actor's life can affect the relationship between the characters in the play. Actors really need to understand each other. When acting, we are talking about control. For example, we are enemies in the scene. I want to beat him and scold him, but we have a good relationship in private. I know that I beat him and scold him during the performance. , he won't blame me. Then this is very helpful for the tension between the characters. But now that everyone is unfamiliar, it is not easy to judge the proportion of this performance.Taking care of the front and the back may cause it. Our performances are also contained and cannot be released. " In this new situation of this era, how do you complete your performance well?" How to adjust yourself in a good state, arrange your life well, and put your position in the shortest time is the most important thing. of. "Yu Bo made some simple suggestions based on his own experience.
"Continuously experience life and feel the changes around him. I think that the performance of an actor must be based on a deep understanding of the script, and the real feeling of life and the times. To the extent that you can understand, you can perform to the extent that you can. Yu Bo said, "When I was young, I didn't know what it should be like to play a mature and married man. With the passage of time and the accumulation of experience, my understanding of the role continued to deepen. On the one hand, this accumulation comes from a lot of experience in filming, "accumulating experience in filming, looking for the feeling and state in front of the camera, so that you can maximize your strengths and improve your weaknesses"; on the other hand, It comes from learning outside of filming, "Read more books, do more homework, and watch more movies. This kind of accumulation is very helpful when you encounter complex characters in the future. You can find resonance, imitation and support from these accumulations. template. "
Stills from "The Trumpeter is in Place" "You must have physical training, and filming is also physical work" Yu Bona took himself as an example. Outside of filming, he did not stay up late, lived a regular life, did not drink beverages, seldom eats sweets, and insisted on various Sports and exercise: mountain climbing, running, fitness, swimming. "You must be self-disciplined, smoke less and drink less, and keep a good mental state at all times, so that you can be worthy of the audience and yourself. "" needs a good mentality to do this line, let's go with the flow, and don't rush for instant success. "This point is especially sincere to Bo Yu. "When we were young, we were filming one drama after another, and the audience could get to know you slowly.Now a drama can make a person 'red', and a drama can make a person 'black'. This kind of instant peak-to-trough ups and downs is very stressful. Peace of mind is very important. "
" fame and fortune may seem too accessible in this circle. Sometimes the gains and losses are taken too seriously. We must find out what the real value and meaning of life is, instead of blindly pursuing and asking for something. Still have to find a balance between gains and losses. Yu Bo said that at the shooting site, there are often departments such as clothing, lighting, photography, etc. There are dozens and hundreds of people serving the work of the actors. Actors should not take this for granted. It's all about giving your best performance, so there's no reason you can't do it well, you have to do it well. Let yourself be more self-respecting and awe-inspiring in terms of mentality, state, and cognition of this industry. "
