  Helping poor cadres is "too difficult"

  The realism drama "Mountain and Sea" is a TV series on poverty alleviation, telling the miracle of poverty alleviation in the "Minning Model" and spreading this difficult but glorious time to the audience.

In the play, Ma Defu, played by Huang Xuan, is the leader and pioneer of Xihaigu villagers’ poverty alleviation. This young guy who has just graduated from agricultural school, with firm belief and sincerity, faces the difficulties and opportunities, reality and challenges. , A little bit opened the curtain of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.

  In "The Love of Mountains and Seas", Huang Xuan challenges for the first time characters who are completely opposite to his own artistic temperament.

"In addition to curiosity, it is more admiration. I think China's poverty alleviation is a very remarkable and positive thing. It has truly changed the lives of rural people and is worthy of praise."

  Through this performance, Huang Xuan also experienced the difficulty of poverty alleviation.

In the play, Ma Defu encountered many problems, just solved one and the next came up.

In order to get electricity in the village faster, Ma Defu went to the substation over and over again, blocking the door every day to be the "door god".

Because the number of relocated households was not up to the standard, the director did not see him, so he took cakes and waited every day.

"This person is too difficult!" Huang Xuan said bluntly.

"From start to finish, Ma Defu hasn’t stopped for a day, sometimes he’s not a human being inside and out. To be honest, I feel that when I act, I might not have that much patience, so the grassroots cadres really don’t. It's easy, you have to deal with everything, and you have to swallow all the suffering in your stomach."

  On the first day of airing, the play was well received by the audience. "The actors are like growing out of the soil", which became the audience's intuitive impression of the play.

Thanks to his deep understanding and empathy for the characters, Huang Xuan's Ma Defu has the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, but also has the perseverance and tenacity to ride the wind and waves and hang the sails, laying a solid foundation for the realistic temperament of "Mountain and Sea" .

  How can you integrate with the character?

Huang Xuan gave his answer in the interview.

"I don't have the ability to become someone else, but I can explore the possibility of this character from myself. As long as I find a place close to this character, I can feel him, and the performance will be authentic and credible." He said I didn't design too much for the character, I just looked for the unity with the character in the commonality.

"The manner in which he speaks will definitely not be the way I am now, so will his head be lowered? Isn't his mouth always closed? Are his eyes a little stunned? I will go to these small places. Find, find a place close to myself."

  Serious thinking, strong empathy, careful consideration, and moderate imagination allow Huang Xuan to roam freely among the various characters, so that each character has a certain aspect of his character, but also has his own unique and unique characteristics. flash.

"Everyone’s personality is complex and changeable. Like a palette, there are multiple colors. Look for colors that are similar to the character in your personality palette, or the colors he needs to reconcile. Enlarge it in places, and use it directly where you can feel it. That's it."

  Challenge the dialect to be "inner flavor"

  During the initial process of understanding the information, the crew of "Mountains and Seas" keenly caught an interesting event of the year-Fujian's support cadres could not understand Northwest dialect, and local villagers could not understand Fujian dialect. The beginning is an obstacle to be overcome.

"So we used dialects to shoot, just to make it more grounded, closer to life, more like real things, let people believe these things, believe these stories that happened." Said Kong Sheng, the director of the play.

Therefore, "The Love of Mountains and Seas" has two versions, the original voice version performed by actors in dialect and the dubbing version dubbed by professional voice actors, which are also broadcast on satellite TV and video websites.

The original soundtrack broadcast on TV made netizens praised, "As soon as the Northwest dialect comes out, there will be an internal taste."

  This kind of performance experience is also a dream come true for Huang Xuan.

"I am actually from the Northwest. I have always dreamed of playing a Northwest story in the Northwest dialect in this land. When I received the invitation this time, it seemed that my wish was fulfilled." History and Reality The convergence of the original version of "Mountain and Sea Love" has formed a wonderful intertextuality. Dialects are not only the plot needs, they can better show the rich and profound regional culture, help the audience enter the drama, create a comic character, and let Huang Xuan play During the shooting process, he had a deeper understanding and expression of the role.

"I don’t have any experience in rural life, so I have to look for that state. For example, rural men in the northwest are a little bit stunned and straight. These characteristics will be reflected in their way of speaking, expressions, and physical appearance. The movements are different from our usual. These things need to be observed and learned to find feelings."

  The "inner flavor" dialect is also a challenge for Huang Xuan.

"My hometown is Lanzhou. Actually, I haven't spoken dialects very seriously. We speak dialects from beginning to end in this play. In fact, it is a bit difficult. When I recite the lines, I have to bring the entrance accent. Go back."

  The emotional line of Ma Defu played by Huang Xuan and Li Shuihua played by Reyza also gave this northwest man a more gentle color while being persistent.

"He is actually a very tender person. Although he and Shui Hua have not come together, he has always cared about her and has always hoped that she can live well."

  Director Kong Sheng is like "Uncle"

  From the beginning of "Crossing Guandong", director Kong Sheng has become a well-recognized brand in the industry. Cooperating with director Kong Sheng has always been Huang Xuan's long-cherished wish.

"I wanted to cooperate with Tao Kong for a long time. In this real cooperation, I often lamented that it is really well-deserved, so pure, so dedicated and dedicated, not to mention the professional ability, the control of the script, the actor I think it’s great for his control, including the ability to tell stories!" Huang Xuan, who has been working with many directors for more than ten years, even described the feelings Kong Sheng brings to him as "uncle".

"I think the most important thing is his charisma. He is such a simple and honest person, like an uncle of yours. He often asks us to go to his studio to drink and eat dumplings. As kind as family. Dao Sun (Sun Molong) is also very attentive. Both of them are very caring and respectful to everyone. They didn't speak loudly."

  The warm and welcoming team atmosphere gave Huang Xuan loose performance space, and the excellent opponent actors made the performance sparkle.

Huang Xuan sincerely admires Zhang Jiayi, who plays Ma Defu's father in the play.

"His play is really very good. The character he looked for with a bit of rudeness is really very accurate, and it makes me feel quite amazing." The biggest problem in the play is Li Dayou played by You Yongzhi. Huang Xuan said, "From the perspective of the script, I didn't think this character was so interesting, but after being performed by Teacher You Yongzhi, I felt that this character was too lively and lovely, which impressed me very much."

  Today, recalling every frame and lens of the filming, Huang Xuan's heart is still full of miss, nostalgia, touch, and reluctance.

"Although I was shooting in a bitter place, I didn't feel that the scene was bitter at all. Including when it was finished, I was really reluctant. I don't know why I have feelings for Minning Town. I imagined what would happen if I live here. In addition, I am from the Northwest. You step on this land to eat noodles and mutton, smelling the cool air of autumn and winter, always reminds me a lot of my childhood The place just feels so kind, and everything makes me very reluctant."
