Recently, the TV series "The Most Beautiful Youth", starring Liu Zhiyang and He Yuhong, was broadcast in a set of evening prime time on CCTV, which aroused widespread concern and expectations from all walks of life. In the play, He Yuhong attracted praise from netizens with her hard and sincere acting skills. A few days ago, He Yuhong, the lead actor of the drama, accepted an exclusive interview with this reporter.
The post-90s "big green coat" first appeared sharp
Produced by Guo Jingyu, with Guo Jingyu and Yang Yong as the chief screenwriters, and directed by Ju Xingmao, "The Most Beautiful Youth" is based on the touching deeds of the builders of saihanba forest farm, telling the story of the early 1960s, represented by Feng Cheng (Liu Zhiyang) and Qin Xuemei (He Yuhong), graduates from forestry colleges and secondary schools in 18 provinces and cities across the country, and 369 people composed of forestry cadres and workers in Chengde Paddock, actively responding to the call of the motherland and overcoming difficulties that ordinary people can hardly imagine. Write the legendary story of the wilderness becoming a forest sea with youthful enthusiasm.
He Yuhong, a graduate of the Central Academy of Drama and 171 centimeters tall, is the "Chinese opera Qingyi look" of the Chinese opera performance teacher Liu Tianchi in the mouth of Zheng'er Bajing - long, large, and large face, which can be seen on the stage. This is even more evident in "The Most Beautiful Youth". A row of female students, Qi Brush stood there, the first thing they saw must be He Yuhong. Talking about the cooperation with guo Jingyu and director Ju Xingmao, she admitted that she was very surprised and surprised. "When 'The Most Beautiful Youth' was in preparation, I was still in my junior year of Chinese opera, and when I was rehearsing plays at school, director Guo Jingyu and his team came to see the performance of our class, but the performance that day did not have me, they saw my photo on the poster, and then contacted me for an interview. When I received an interview call from the film crew, I was surprised and pleasantly surprised. At the beginning of my acting career, I was fortunate to be able to work with such an excellent director as Guo Jingyu, which is both lucky and a kind of exercise for me.
Only by making fun in suffering can we grow
"The Most Beautiful Youth" is He Yuhong's first play, and in her opinion, this is a good exercise opportunity. "I have been studying in school before, I have not filmed, and this time I participated in "The Most Beautiful Youth", and I often worry that I will not act well." With the encouragement of Guo Jingyu and Ju Xingmao, she decided to give it a bold try, "to see her own growth and progress."
But behind this attempt, the cost is really not small. The filming of "The Most Beautiful Youth" lasted 162 days, spanning autumn, winter and spring, in order to ensure the maximum restoration of the environment at that time, the crew went deep into Beijing, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Chengde Yudaokou, Inner Mongolia Uragai, Duolun, Keshketeng Banner, Wudan eight places to shoot. In order to restore the real situation of saihan dam afforestation, the crew went from grassland to desert to snow, accompanied by sand and gravel desert, ice and snow and strong winds, and the conditions were very difficult. As the heroine, He Yuhong has more than 800 scenes, and she has to shoot an average of 5 or 6 scenes a day. "The workload is particularly large, and it is basically on location, which is very demanding on physical strength." Looking back now, He Yuhong's most memorable thing was the shooting of the Keshketeng Banner. "When shooting, the wind and snow are very large, the temperature reaches minus thirty or forty degrees, and it is often frozen and crying on the scene, and the emotional scenes do not have to brew emotions, as long as the whole face is exposed, it will definitely freeze to tears."
Pay homage to youth with youth
He Yuhong said that in order to play Qin Xuemei well, she did a lot of homework. "Before shooting, I consulted a lot of relevant materials, including the relevant deeds of Saihan Dam and the living environment of people in that era. I have a lot of similarities with the character of Qin Xuemei, I am a person with my own ideas and ideas, and I also like to take care of my friends in life. So for me this character is very real, and on the basis of shaping the character, I added my own knowledge and feelings about the character. Every line of the character I take out my own sincerity and sincerely interpret it. ”
As the daughter of the Minister of Forestry, Qin Xuemei did not want to receive special care, but embraced the ideal of building the motherland and took the initiative to go to difficult places to hone herself. As the main force in the afforestation youth army, Qin Xuemei Feng Cheng worked together to overcome difficulties and harvest precious love and affection. He Yuhong introduced, "Qin Xuemei and Feng Cheng from knowing each other to falling in love, there are many twists and turns, from the beginning of respect, to the competition with him, misunderstanding him and even began to hate him, to the later resolution of the contradiction, she slowly found that they are like-minded people." ”
What makes He Yuhong happy is that unlike many personal heroic plays, the plot of "The Most Beautiful Youth" is simple and sincere, there is no vigorous emotional expression, but the liver and gallbladder are taken care of, and the water is long. The stories of ordinary people can present delicate and real emotions and bring shocks to the audience. "This is very attractive to me, "The Most Beautiful Youth" depicts the first generation of Saihanba foresters who braved the harsh environment and selflessly dedicated their youth and life. Saihan Dam is a beautiful place, it is the forester of Saihan Dam, it brings us a piece of green, and I have a lot of respect for them. ”
Looking forward to trying out more different roles in the future
Now, "The Most Beautiful Youth" has been broadcast, and He Yuhong believes that the drama is particularly meaningful to young people today. "Our generation grew up in a superior living environment, don't know what is really hard, we generally live a very comfortable life, few people will think about what I can contribute to society, what the motherland needs me to do." When shooting this play, my biggest gain is to learn the spirit of hard-working and hard-working entrepreneurship of the young people in the play. A lot of people say the play is bitter, but for me it's a kind of exercise. ”
For the future, He Yuhong said that she will use her own efforts to let the audience see more growth and possibilities. "Because I just graduated from college and have only played this one role so far, I hope to try more different types of roles and shoot more excellent works in the future." I think young people should constantly challenge themselves to do what they like and are meaningful in the most beautiful youth! ”
