Speaking of "Extraordinary Brother", Guangzhou people have a sense of intimacy, and the classic Hong Kong drama "The Heroic Love of the Righteous Sea" is about Guangzhou during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, of which the role of "Liang Feifan" is particularly brilliant. Liang Feifan's actor Mai Changqing, known as "Mai Bao", has been in the industry for nearly 30 years, and has created many deeply rooted roles with grounded performances, in addition to Extraordinary Brother, there is also the honest and thick sand monk in Zhang Weijian's version of "Journey to the West". The role of "Extraordinary Brother" made Mai Changqing win the Best Supporting Actor at the 43rd Thousand Star Awards and the Best Supporting Actor at the 16th Asian Television Awards, ushering in a highlight moment in his career.
Last year, after the expiration of the contract with TVB, the old owner did not retain this highly malleable golden leaf. Mai Changqing went to Guangzhou and became a "Worker in the Greater Bay Area". Recently, Guangzhou is facing a new wave of epidemics, Mai Changqing, who is in The Tianhe District of Guangzhou, has no choice to stay away from hiding, he has a deep affection with his "birthplace" Guangzhou, where he witnesses the true story of Guangzhou people fighting the epidemic and protecting their homeland.
"Mai Bao" Mai Changqing, who has been in the industry for nearly 30 years, has created many deeply rooted roles.
Mai Changqing recently accepted an exclusive interview with Nandu reporter, talking about why he chose to return to Guangzhou for development, as well as the citizens he saw in Guangzhou under the epidemic situation, watching out for each other and helping each other in the same boat, the great love of medical staff and volunteers going backwards and selflessly paying, and he personally experienced queuing for nucleic acid testing and fully cooperating with epidemic prevention and control... All this makes him feel deeply at ease in Guangzhou, "everyone cooperates to do a good job, let me feel very safe here", he hopes that the young people in Hong Kong can regain this "Lion Rock Spirit" of watching over each other and protecting our common beautiful homeland.
"Mai Bao" witnessed the people of Guangzhou fighting the epidemic with one heart to protect their homeland, and cheered for Guangzhou on the streets of Guangzhou!
"Greater Bay Area Construction"
"I am very lucky that Guangzhou gave me the opportunity,
I also want to stay and do something different."
After ending his contract with his old hong Kong owner, Mak Said he had a "chance to come out" and go to the mainland to develop. After filming a drama in the mainland, he wanted to see if he had the opportunity to work with different teams in the Greater Bay Area and stay in Guangzhou by chance. A Guangzhou-based performing arts company threw an olive branch at him, and Mai Changqing decided that his main work base would be in Guangzhou for some time to come. "I'm lucky that Guangzhou gave me the opportunity, and I also want to stay and do something different." He told the Nandu reporter.
With the change of technology and media, there have been many new changes in the show business circle, giving birth to new forms such as web dramas, online live broadcasts, short videos, etc. Mai Changqing said: "These are all kinds of acting work, and I will try them." There are many new areas, and during my time in the mainland, I will take the opportunity to learn about things that I have never been exposed to or understood. ”
In the mainland, "working hard" and living is a zero starting point. Mai Changqing laughed and called himself a "big countryman" (from the countryside). "I learn from my peers and production teams around me and let the children teach me." The children he refers to are the younger generation of actors or crew, "they are really young and know a lot of new things." ”
In Guangzhou, he shopped online, ordered takeaways, placed orders on app, scanned two-dimensional codes, real-name authentication, and showed SuiKang codes... Everything has to be re-learned, Mai Changqing said: "For me, I am very happy to be able to re-understand the mainland, and I also see the development of our country day by day." In the past, the development and changes of the mainland were mostly learned from the Hong Kong news, and now I can put myself in the shoes of life to experience, he said: "Living in the mainland is very comfortable, guangzhou is a very clean city, everyone is very obedient." This is something I would love to tell the people of Hong Kong. ”
At the end of May, a new wave of epidemics appeared in Guangzhou, the measures for epidemic prevention and control became increasingly stringent, the nucleic acid investigation of all employees in various districts was one after another, the traffic on the streets was no longer busy, and people were more cautious about traveling. For her life in Guangzhou, Hong Kong's mother is not worried, Mai Changqing said: "I told her, I don't have any nervous feelings. The people around me went to the nucleic acid test for the first time, and every citizen actively cooperated with the government's epidemic prevention measures, which made me feel very at ease with this self-disciplined atmosphere, and I felt very safe here. ”
Fight the epidemic with one heart
"The doctor who tested me,
Her eyes are smiling."
Guangzhou under the epidemic situation has made Mai Changqing harvest many warm moments. In the news, he saw the taxi driver driving a special taxi to Liwan District to pick up students who needed to take the college entrance examination, and the whole city opened up a green channel for the candidates; in the rainstorm, medical staff, volunteers and public security officers stuck to their posts, and the scene of medical staff being soaked in the news clip appeared, and Mai Changqing saw it with his own eyes when doing nucleic acid testing, which was both touched and grateful.
"When I go to the nucleic acid test myself, it is around seven or eight o'clock in the evening, which may be the time for the medical staff to change the guard and eat. When I went in, I saw the doctor who had changed the guard take off his white protective suit, and the clothes inside were completely soaked, like they were fished out of water. But they still worked hard, and the doctor who tested me, her eyes were smiling and warmed me. ”
Mai Changqing said that he worked in a building in Tianhe District, the process of participating in the nucleic acid test was very smooth, orderly, he held a homecoming permit, need to fill in a lot of information, but also completed the test in about half an hour. Some elderly people do not know how to operate, and medical staff will patiently explain and guide. Mai Changqing sighed: "For the sake of this city, everyone is very cooperative with all epidemic prevention measures, and seeing this scene makes us very proud of Chinese." ”
Mai Changqing mentioned that he had friends in Liwan District who were in quarantine, but they were very obedient and tested nucleic acid every two days; there were small partners who went out to work in Tianhe, who could have stayed outside, but also chose to go home. "They said they were going to go back and guard their homes. I was very warm and warm to hear these words. They would rather go back to quarantine and guard their homes. ”
"I came to Guangzhou to work in the future when I had time to get vaccinated in Hong Kong. Now I'm going to get vaccinated, but I haven't made an appointment yet, and I'm waiting for all the arrangements. Referring to the mainland vaccine, Mai Changqing said forcefully: "I am absolutely confident." ”
"A few days ago, there was a lot of wind and rain in Guangzhou, and when I went out to buy things by myself, even my bottoms were wet, and my umbrella was leaking. But that night I saw the news clip, medical staff, volunteers, police supporting tents, protecting the items tested, pulling the line of defense, I felt their hardships, but also felt their fearless spirit of doing things for everyone. This spirit of watching out for each other and helping each other in the same boat was once the 'Lion Rock Spirit' that we Hong Kong people were proud of. "Mak Changqing mentioned that among some young people in Hong Kong, this spirit seems to be slowly disappearing." During the epidemic, I saw some uncooperative phenomena in Hong Kong, some people did not cooperate with filling in personal information when they went to restaurants, they filled in the names of ding-dong, Mickey Mouse and even artists, I myself have been tricked, there are friends who take photos, some people fill in my name, they let the government can not track his trajectory. But it's actually hurting the city and the neighbors around us. ”
"Everyone is a Hong Konger, everyone loves this city, why don't we try our best to protect this city?" I hope that Hong Kong can revive this spirit of watching out for each other and helping each other, and that everyone can work together to protect our homeland. ”
"Guangzhou Tsai"
"The Greater Bay Area is giving hong Kong's younger generation opportunities.
I want to tell them that."
When it comes to Mai Changqing, everyone's first reaction is that of a Hong Kong actor, in fact, he is a native "Guangzhou Tsai". Mai Changqing told Nandu reporters: "I was born in Guangzhou, and my mother told me that the hospital at birth was the 'Guangzhou First Maternity Hospital'. After I was born, I went back to Shunde with my mother, went to Hong Kong at the age of 12, and have been studying and working there, and rarely come back. "Although it has been separated from Guangzhou for several years, the memories of being in Guangzhou as a child are very precious. Mai Changqing recalled that when he was a child, he went to the Martyrs' Cemetery and Yuexiu Park to play and walk, and when the chef's uncle and uncle often took him to Panxi Restaurant, Guangzhou Restaurant, Aiqun Mansion, North Garden to drink morning tea, Xinya egg tart, Beijiang salt baked chicken is his favorite. "Guangzhou has left me with a lot of good memories, and now that I'm back, I'm eager to find these things to eat."
After 30 years of absence from Guangzhou, Mai Changqing returned to Guangzhou to "start over" in the year of knowing his destiny, firstly because Guangzhou gave him a strong sense of intimacy, and second, because he was very familiar with and liked Guangzhou, and he hoped to pass on the information of the Greater Bay Area to the younger generation in Hong Kong. "I hope to share my personal experience and introduce the good things here to the young people of Hong Kong." I'm so old that there are still opportunities to come here, and you must have more. The Greater Bay Area is giving opportunities and opportunities to the younger generation in Hong Kong, and I want to tell them that. ”
Mai Changqing admits that there will be a bottleneck in the development of every place, he has worked directly into TVB for 30 years from stepping out of school, and he is not familiar with the circle outside the Hong Kong showbiz circle. When TVB didn't renew his contract, he also wandered. But at the moment he is no longer confused: "I think everything has to be tried, to take the first step, to understand adaptation, to see the world." 」 I believe that both Hong Kong and our motherland will give us opportunities, roads and space for development. I think young people don't have to be afraid, they have to be bold and try. ”
I agree with a quote by (Wu Mengda): 'Let's not let our previous successes become today's stereotypes and influence future achievements.' Whether it is an extraordinary brother or a sand monk, it has become a thing of the past, can I give you more sand monks and extraordinary brothers, let everyone identify with and appreciate me, this is something I want to work hard for. Mai Changqing said that in the future, he will try to do live broadcasting and hosting work in Guangzhou, and is also preparing to introduce programs in the Greater Bay Area, hoping to convey his experience of traveling between the two places and the new information of the Greater Bay Area to the audience.
Mai Changqing also has a dream, he hopes that he can drive a motorhome around China, and he can shoot such a program for everyone to see. He traveled to the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, as far as northern Guangdong, as far as Beijing, Tibet, Sichuan-Chongqing, and northeast China, saw a lot of great scenery, and developed feelings for the rivers and mountains of the motherland: "I saw the grandeur of the high-speed railway, every mountain opened a tunnel, every river valley built a bridge, seeing this, I knew how much effort the people have made, how much effort the country has made, the economy has opened up all parts of the country, so that the people of the whole country can unite together, which makes me marvel." We enjoy this kind of achievement, and we must be grateful for the efforts of the previous generation and the efforts of the country and the people. I hope to continue to shoot good works all over the mainland. ”
