Yi Yang Qianxi: My parents used to work hard in Shenzhen
Yangcheng Evening News reporter Li Li
From "Youth in Youth" and "Send You a Little Red Flower" to "Miracle Stupid Child", 22-year-old Yi Yang Qianxi is already an experienced "old actor".
In this year's Lunar New Year movie "Miracle: Stupid Child", he played Jing Hao, a 20-year-old boy who created a miracle. Through his own efforts, he not only earned his 6-year-old sister's surgery life-saving money, but also led a group of life The hopeless ordinary people realized their self-worth in Shenzhen.
The film itself has also created a miracle: as a rare realistic Spring Festival film, the film has won both word of mouth and box office.
As of 10:00 on February 13, the cumulative box office of the film has reached 992 million yuan.
Jing Hao is young and old, running and fighting for life.
As a top performer in the entertainment industry, where can Yi Yang Qianxi find resonance?
What does he think of the word "miracle" in the title?
Let's hear his own interpretation.
The first cooperation with Wen Muye, the script is strong and the characters are fun
Q: This is your first collaboration with director Wen Muye: one is "Post-85", one is "Post-00"; one is "Best Newcomer Director" and one is "Best Newcomer Actor".
How did you feel when working together for the first time, did you feel pressure?
A: The first time I met the director was not in such a public place, but in private.
When I first talked about this at the hotel, I was quite excited anyway, because I really wanted to work with director Wen Muye.
Later, when I got the script, I also thought it was very exciting, and the character Jing Hao was also very interesting.
But when it comes to cooperation, you can't really think about it that much.
I can't control what kind of sparks will come out. I just put myself into it, and whatever happens is what happens.
Q: Director Wen Muye won the reputation of "cultural protection" when he filmed "I am not the God of Medicine". The same scene will be shot multiple times, and he always asks for "one more guarantee".
In this shooting, did you feel the director's strict requirements for details?
A: My voice is sometimes close to a hoarse state, basically because I have yelled countless times - this is always "protecting".
The director is very demanding, and the details and rhythm of all scheduling are meticulous.
I believe this will produce good works.
Q: What are your selection criteria for works or characters?
A: I just like it, whether it's the script, the story, the team...because the actor is actually just one of the cogs in the crew, and the work will be good only if the standards of all aspects are not bad.
Learn to disassemble and learn Cantonese, and also learn to clean glass at high altitude
Q: The story of "Miracle Stupid Child" was set in Shenzhen in 2013.
As a millennial child, how do you approach this role?
There is also Cantonese in the story. Did you find a teacher to learn it?
A: In fact, 2013 is not far from me, I don't need to worry about the gap in the times.
I found a Cantonese-speaking actor teacher in the group to learn Cantonese, and the editing director can also speak Cantonese.
When performing live, I would also ask someone who can speak Cantonese to help me correct it.
Q: Jing Hao's character setting, as soon as he appeared on the stage, he was a "demolition boy" who was proficient in handling electronic equipment. Did you do any special training?
A: Together with several "employees" of the "Squad" in the film, I followed the teacher to practice the disassembly process of the C8 mobile phone from beginning to end.
There is a montage of shots that I need to shoot all kinds of disassembly, and that part will be memorized more carefully.
In addition to dismantling, there are also flow charts for drawing dismantling, which are all learned separately.
Q: Jing Hao also worked as a part-time Spider-Man in the film. Are these scenes unforgettable to you?
A: You have to learn how to clean glass in advance, which is also very dangerous. There is only a narrow bench and a few ropes, and you will be hoisted into the air.
In the movie, Jing Hao hangs up to dozens of high-rise buildings. We had Wia when we were shooting, but when we looked down, we were still a little scared.
Enjoyed playing with seniors, and was most impressed by being "trained" by Zhang Yu
Q: Sister Jingtong is played by Chen Halin.
You both got along on the show "Let Me Go" and left a deep impression on the audience.
After a lapse of five years, how do you feel when you meet again and play brothers and sisters?
A: My love for Harlem has grown a lot, and Harlem is a lot more mischievous than back then.
In fact, I am a person who is not very proactive, and I am not very good at finding people to chat with.
Therefore, it may take time to get familiar with rival actors in general.
In 2017, the experience of filming a show together with Harleen was a "bottom" that allowed us to enter a tacit working state faster.
Q: "Miracle: Stupid Child" has many powerful seniors joining, including Tian Yu, Qi Xi, Gong Lei, Wang Ning, Gong Jinguo, Xu Juncong from the "Factory Squad", Wang Chuanjun, Zhang Yu, and Yang Xinming from the original "Medicine God Squad". And senior actors such as Tian Zhuangzhuang and Yong Mei, can you share some impressive rival plays?
A: In a play, it is a blessing to be able to play and work with so many excellent actors and teachers.
The scene that impressed me the most was the scene where Teacher Zhang Yu reprimanded me.
I used to like watching Teacher Zhang Yu's plays very much, and I've always been looking forward to acting with him.
That scene was actually his first scene after he joined the group. He can give you energy and make everyone play a comfortable scene.
So I am very impressed.
I lived in the suburbs with my parents and lived in a factory when I was young
Q: The urban village in the film is a label-style urban landscape, but it is also a bit utopian.
Although people are not rich, neighbors can help each other and be full of friendship.
Did you experience a similar atmosphere growing up?
A: I have never experienced villages in cities, but I have experienced villages, towns, and suburbs.
When I first came to Beijing when I was a child, I lived with my parents in the suburbs, first in Tongzhou and then in Changping, and they all lived in those kind of small villages and towns.
This film has some parts that overlap with my childhood: my dad used to run a factory, and I grew up in the factory.
My mother, my uncle and other relatives live in the family building. It is together with the office building, and next to it are warehouses, canteens, and staff dormitories.
From elementary school to junior high school, I lived in the factory most of the time, which is similar to Jing Hao's opening of the factory in the movie.
Q: The story takes place in Shenzhen.
Why do you think the story of "Miracle · Stupid Child" can take place in this land?
A: First of all, Shenzhen is a city developed because of the changes of the times.
There are many migrant workers in Shenzhen, and people want to work hard and make a little bit of their own careers.
In fact, my parents and my mother are also such people. My parents and my mother knew each other when they were working in Shenzhen, and then they had me.
Q: Sister Jingtong's surgery cost is the cause and motivation of the whole story. How do you understand the meaning of family love to Jing Hao?
A: Because of the setting of "my sister's life is at stake", Jing Hao's actions and experiences are not so suspended.
He was so frantically looking for opportunities outside, all kinds of rushing around, all kinds of part-time jobs, all of which came from a very primitive motivation-even if his hand was broken, he had to go up to the sky to clean the glass, because I had to let my sister survive. , or I'd really be an orphan.
Jing Hao actually needs his younger sister, who is both a weakness and an armor for him.
Luck is an add-on, miracles exist by believing
Q: How do you understand the theme of the film?
A: The theme of the film is actually what Jinghao said to his sister at the end: You have to remember that as long as we work hard, nothing is impossible.
Jing Hao is an adult, he naturally knows that this sentence is not so 100% true, but it is a kind of good wish and a yearning for a bright future.
Q: The title of the film is "Miracle · Stupid Child". In your eyes, what is a miracle?
A: I remember reading a sentence before, which probably means that luck is actually an add-on. It will only be born a little bit when you devote yourself to something and don’t think about it so much.
In the story of "Miracle: Stupid Child", Jing Hao is considered to be smooth, he desperately strives for opportunities, but at the same time his efforts are also rewarded.
This kind of return is actually a kind of luck.
For the workers, there are lucky blessings along the way, fighting monsters and leveling up all the way, and reaching the final destination, this is a miracle.
Q: For audiences who haven't seen the movie, what sentence would you use to recommend this movie?
A: Miracles exist by believing.
[Same question and answer]
Qianxi in your eyes
Wen Muye: He has too many sides
In him, I saw the appearance of a particularly young man, but he had a very mature spirit.
He has a mature vulnerability and also exudes a spirit of never giving up.
He has a very innocent side, and at the same time he has a side of carrying and persevering. These two things together can form the feeling of Jing Hao that I want.
Because the role of Jing Hao is a child, but he can't be a child alone: he is an orphan, and he wants to be a brother, a father, a mother, and a factory manager... I may only be in Yi Yangqian. Xi's body sees so many possibilities.
I was also pleasantly surprised by what he finally presented, not only filling out these sides, but also giving me more sides.
He has changed from what I thought was a polygon to what is now a circle.
Qi Xi: I didn't know him before, I will call him "brother" in the future
I didn't know him before, so I thought he was cool and stylish, and I didn't have much impression of the others.
After this cooperation, I will call him "brother", haha.
If we feel that filming is hard in this scene, Qianxi's hard work is at least three times that of each of us.
He is very dedicated, we not only see him as the factory manager in this play, but also see him as a good actor who deserves our respect in private.
Wang Chuanjun: Sad, I love him so much but he loves Brother Yu
He's so nice, so cute, so awesome.
Down-to-earth, low-key and very sensitive, meticulous in work; and very photogenic, how to shoot, willing to try all kinds of things...
Qianxi is a very slow-tempered person, but her heart is very lively and lovely.
One day when I finished filming a scene with him, the director suddenly turned his head and asked him: Zhang Yu and Wang Chuanjun, who do you like?
Qianxi looked at me, smiled and said nothing. I thought at the time, it was quite a face.
The next day, the director asked the same question again, but Qianxi said without hesitation: Brother Yu.
I collapsed instantly.
Sad, I love him so much, but he loves Brother Yu.
But it doesn't matter, Brother Yu is mine.
Huang Yao: I have my own ideas, but I don't like expressing so much
I have always thought that he is a very showy child with his own ideas, but he will not take the initiative to do anything, and he does not like to show so much.
As a young child, he is very calm, and I really appreciate him for that.
This is in line with the role in his play, a very stable child, so he can take on such a difficult task and finish it.
Gong Jinguo: If it was my own child, I would be reluctant to use it like this
To tell the truth, I really feel bad for him. There are more than 290 shows in a play, and he does more than 270 shows by himself, almost every day.
As for Wen Muye, he is young and energetic. He spends 17 or 8 hours in one play, and 20 hours in this way.
To tell the truth, Qianxi is only twenty years old, and I really reluctant to use it for my own children.
Tian Yu: He can fully open himself up in front of the camera
Before, my impression of him was still on singing.
In the middle of filming this scene, I watched his previous films, which were actually completely different from this character.
He can fully open himself in front of the camera, which is very, very rare.
Chen Halin: He has grown taller, and now I am the only child
He seems to be growing taller.
I used to be a child with him, now he is an adult, and only I am a child.
I used to be coquettish with him before, but now I'm embarrassed to be coquettish with him.
Shenzhen in your eyes
Wen Muye: Everyone is running, extremely energetic
Since the reform and opening up, the city has carried the gene of "nothing is impossible".
No city in the world can change from a fishing village to the current Shenzhen in 40 years.
This city is fair to everyone, as long as they work hard, they can accomplish individual miracles.
And when everyone accomplishes an individual miracle, naturally, it becomes an urban miracle.
Everyone who lives here has a strong desire and belief in the pursuit of happiness, so each of them is running.
If the "vessel" flow rate of other cities is sixty or seventy, the "vessel" flow rate of this city may be ninety, which is very fast and extremely energetic.
Therefore, it is impossible for this city not to produce miracles.
Gong Jinguo: Don't ask where you come from, just ask if you can do it
On this issue, I have the guts to say that I am really an experienced person.
Because I was here in the early days of Shenzhen development, I have worked on many landmark projects.
Stories like "Miracle Stupid Child" used to only happen in Shenzhen.
It doesn't ask where you came from, it only asks what you do, whether you can do it, and if you can, stay.
Later, with the development of the country, other places are also like this.
Qi Xi: Not only Shenzhen, our country has many possibilities
Not only Shenzhen, our country has many possibilities.
Everyone can realize their dreams in this land as long as they work hard.
miracle in your eyes
Wen Muye: Always believe, never give up in the face of difficulties
A miracle is never giving up in the face of difficulties and believing that you can pursue the happiness in your heart.
Wang Chuanjun: What I didn't believe before, I believe now
Miracles in my eyes are more things that come after some hardships.
I don't see miracles in my eyes, I think miracles are things that you didn't believe in before, but now you believe them.
Qi Xi: You can't just see success and forget about hard work
Everyone often only sees a successful ending, but forgets the repeated efforts to be successful on the road.
In the case of Jing Hao in the movie, the "miracle" is not that he has made money and how much his life has changed, but that he has become confident and happy, he has a family, and he has a partner who fights with him. .
This may seem easy to everyone, but it's not.
Wang Ning: God has given you a good chance, but you have to work hard
Miracle is the name of the character I play - Hengzhi.
Hengzhi will have a miracle.
Liu Hengzhi is a very ordinary person. He followed Jing Hao to start a business. After many waves of torture, he finally succeeded.
He is also the most beautiful person in our film, and he has a daughter-in-law.
All of this was achieved through his own hard work and hard work. If he didn't work hard and was still in the Internet cafe, none of this would have been possible.
I think God has given you a good opportunity, you have to work hard to be successful and there will be miracles.
Gong Jinguo: It is a miracle to become an actor after retirement
A miracle is persistence, hard work, and suffering that ordinary people have never experienced, making the impossible possible.
When I retired, I was the engineering director of a listed real estate company. After retirement, I was bored and bored.
what to do?
There are age restrictions for many things, and finally I found out that there are no age restrictions for actors, so I came to act.
I followed their group of amateurs to play micro-movies. I have worked in every type of work in the crew, and I only started acting when I was a lot of years old.
I didn't learn to act for a day, but I was able to act in movies.
Although small, it is a miracle.
