Participating in the "actor" variety show activated the former small wish
last year, Huang Mengying was in the second season of span2 _span in the hot variety show "span2" , The " Meng Xiaodong" in the fragment of "Mei Lanfang" was fully affirmed by the director of Chen Kaige. Later, the short film "Mulan" directed by Dapeng showed the audience an unexpected brutal beating of women. And this time, she challenged the drama stage with high difficulty, starring in the happy twist and laughter stage drama "A Thief Wants You", the female number one.
"A Thief Wants You" is adapted from the British comedy "The Bank Robbery", which combines the characteristics of a distinctive British farce, full of black humor and banter on the social dilemma. Since its first performance in 2019, it has accumulated more than 300 shows, and the box office of word-of-mouth is high. It has become one of the dramas with the highest rating of Happy Twist. The female liar "Kelly" played by Huang Mengying is involved in a ridiculous diamond robbery and staged a hot, funny, thrilling and exciting adventure.
Huang Mengying revealed that it was the experience of participating in the stage performance of "Actors Please Take Your Place" last year, which activated her wish that she has been kept in the bottom of my heart. On her 30th birthday, Huang Mengying promised her birthday wish to appear in a stage play, "I really want to learn and try challenging jobs. I have played a lot of ancient costumes or modern tragic roles before, and I rarely try. Comedy. I have watched some twisted stage plays, which attracted me. Everyone in the theater was really laughing. I think that as an actor, at that moment, I must be very satisfied and have a sense of accomplishment." This year happens to be something. This opportunity, "I will come to realize my dream!"
Since his debut, Huang Mengying has been "smashing monsters and upgrading" all the way, leaving deep-rooted characters in many film and television works. Jin once made the audience impress her as a bad woman who "digging eyes", but in ": You Going Upward", she used her dare to love and hate, sweet and charming high mi The impression of the villain has been completely reversed and it is good for the audience... Huang Mengying, who is willing to challenge, cheerful and determined, never sets limits on her own challenges, this time the premiere of the drama "A Thief Wants You" Huang Mengying changed her former role image to play A hot and spooky professional female liar, she also incorporated some of her own ideas and performance elements to create a brand-new "Kelly".

is very difficult
I quietly drank two sips of wine before going on stage for the first time
has appeared in the TV series since then. Communicate with the audience, so this time she will be the heroine of the drama for the first time, and she needs to readjust her performance. "The drama interacts directly with the audience, paying more attention to the body and lines. Because the audience sitting at a distance may not be able to capture your micro-expression, but you can clearly hear your lines and see your physical performance." , Her acting habits are also different. In the early stage of drama rehearsal, she often backs the stage because she is used to having cameras to capture her actions and facial expressions during film and television performances. "But you face the audience in a drama. You can't leave your back to the audience, and don't be too sideways. The director told me that it is best to face the audience at an angle of 45 degrees."
Of course, "A Thief Wants You" attracts Huang Mengying not just the challenge from the camera to the stage. The reason why this work has become the highest-rated stage play of Happy Twist is that in addition to the hilarious plot and performance, there are also fresh and complex stage elements, such as singing, dancing, dancing, and so on. "This drama will show you all kinds of skills in just two hours, including singing, dancing, acting, and lines. I think this is a big improvement for me. There is also the ability to adapt. Because it has no chance to come back, it needs to have strong improvisational ability, including interaction with the audience. This is considered a relatively big challenge."
There is also a wonderful cleaning in the show. The working actors need to hang the Wia, there is no Wia equipment in the venue during the rehearsal.In order to familiarize Huang Mengying with the state of WIA, the director also used small ideas and asked her to sit on the bar to practice aerial performances. She said: "The first time I hang Wia on the stage is completely different from when I was filming. There is no chance of making mistakes. All actions must be done in one go." "Before I came to the stage, I was pacing back and forth in the dressing room. Brother Xiaoyu and I were in the dressing room. He laughed at me and said,'Don't walk back and forth like this.' Too many, I’m afraid I can’t remember the words. Before I came to the stage, I was very worried because I felt that everyone was familiar with the road. It’s a good show.” It wasn’t until the first burden on the stage that she heard the audience’s laughter, she was relieved, “I became more confident. Later, I didn’t think until the end of the whole performance: Hey? The performance was over so soon, that moment was very satisfying."
gains "happy fat"
there is a feeling of rebuilding
"The Thief Wants You" has been intensively rehearsed every day for more than 8 hours every day. When I mentioned my own rehearsal, I always said "I went to class, and I ended." Huang Mengying said with a smile that this period of time was like returning to the college entrance examination. She memorized more than 60 pages of scripts in three days. She sleeps with the scripts in her arms every day. If I am not awake, I hope to fight for all the time to finish the manuscript as soon as possible. In the past 20 days, I have a feeling of re-engineering, and I will make some small progress every day." Prior to this, she also shared the rehearsal scenes on the Weibo , and recorded bit by bit in the crew. "Everyone is rehearsing together and is very happy every day. I thought that the amount of exercise during the rehearsal was so thin, but because the crew’s food was so good, the friends brought a variety of snacks every day, but they became fat.",Huang Mengying jokingly called this "happy fat".
spent a year in drama, what blessings will I have for my future roles in TV dramas? Is it worth it? Huang Mengying's answer is yes. She remembered that she officially started rehearsing on August 23, and it has been exactly a month now. "We have been rehearsing for more than 20 days without interruption every day, and now we are performing in the theater. I think it is a learning process for me. Going to rehearsal every day is like returning to my student days. I have to go to the school in the morning. Take a small class, memorize words, practice singing, open your voice, and then go to the classroom to rehearse with everyone in the afternoon, and arrange it until the evening. Basically, I sweat three times every day, but I am happy and fulfilling. I think it’s just During the training for more than a month, my lines, expressiveness, familiarity with the stage, and the understanding of dialogue drama are better than before." She laughed and said that from rehearsal to now, she felt like a devil. Assault class, there is a feeling of returning to the college entrance examination. She feels that this month’s experience and experience will continue to be used in future performances, "I am grateful for having such a period of time to do such a thing."
Huang Mengying's drama challenge has been performed nearly ten times a week. Now when I recall the mood when I just decided to participate in the performance, I have a completely different state. "I have performed eight performances, and the biggest feeling in the performance is to open myself up. Because this role has many aspects, I also try my best to play her well." A friend said after watching it, "Mengying, I know You have been so long, I feel like I have known you for the first time today." After hearing these words, she was very happy, "I think they have seen me whom they have not seen before, and have seen my plasticity and multi-facetedness." Speaking of these, she also said happily that she is now fully immersed in the drama and is acting every day in her dreams, so she hasn’t thought about the National Day holiday. “My mother came to Beijing recently, and my dad might come back in a few days. Watch a show."
indeed,For Huang Mengying, who tried the drama for the first time, everyone in the Happy Twist team gave praise without hesitation. The director commented that Huang Mengying was “very professional and dedicated. She memorized all the lines in three days and worked very hard every day.” Du Xiaoyu also said that Huang Mengying would often discuss her perception and understanding of the role with everyone. The curiosity for knowledge and seeking empathy with the character touched him. Huang Mengying is also very happy that she has gained a lot from acting in this drama. In addition to fulfilling her 30th birthday wish and making progress in her profession, she is happiest to meet a group that loves drama, is kind, persistent, and purely good. My friends, "From the director to every actor, they are very helpful to me, and everyone just loves drama purely, and everyone rehearses everything they have to rehearse, wanting this drama to be more exciting."
Although In the eyes of outsiders, compared to filming a variety show, a drama performance is a long and slow work, but she will feel that "it depends on what the reference is, the variety show is fast, and more likely it is that it will be broadcast quickly. Everyone can see you very quickly, but the speed of the drama is very fast for me." She laughed and said that she still didn't enjoy acting this time, "I am willing to come back if I have a chance in the future." If you ask her now, "What does the thief want?" Her answer was "I want to get encouragement, applause, and recognition from the audience, and hope that everyone who comes to see me will be happy. This is what I want most now."
