Shi Boyu: I'm very free and easy now, I won't feel nervous before shooting, and I won't cry after shooting丨Interview
The movie "I Really Want to Go to Your World and Love You" starring Shi Boyu and Zhou Yiran is now in theaters. This is Shi Boyu's first theatrical film, and it is also his first time to accept the audience's test on the big screen.
During this period of time, he was full of emotion. Being able to act in movies was his goal that he always wanted to achieve, especially this time, the pianist Gao Gao played by him and the architect An Yi played by Zhou Yiren were able to perceive each other because of an accident. Emotions, hearing each other's voices, having each other's perceptions, and slowly discovering that it is a good thing to have a person who is "synesthetic" with yourself.
In the film, he needs to deeply understand Zhou Yiren's performance, not only to play his own, but also to be someone else, which gave Shi Boyu a very memorable performance experience.
Shi Boyu said with a smile that this performance was not easy, but now his state is more relaxed and relaxed, and he is more able to balance work and life: "I am now more free and easy in the mentality of 'entering the play' and 'playing in the play', and I have learned the bravery of Northeast boys. In the future roles, I also hope to try more straightforward and uninhibited roles." He thought for a while, his eyes firm: "Acting is endless learning, and there will always be better ways to perform. I will work harder to find better performances. Good acting status, more character possibilities."
Acting in front of the air, experience the inconvenience and fun that "synesthesia" brings to life
"I Want to Love You in Your World" is a comedy romance film with fantasy elements. In the story, the heroine An Yi is an assistant architect in Beijing, and the hero Gao An is a pianist in Germany.
The two had never met before, but because of an accident, their brains were connected together, and they could feel each other's touch, hearing, etc.
They were not used to each other at first, because this "synesthesia" brought a lot of inconvenience to their lives.
For example, An Yi suddenly started scratching his head and taking a shower when he was giving a report at a company meeting, because Gao An was taking a bath at home; An Yi was doing acupuncture, and Gao An Yi would feel pain and scream and wake up at night.
But as time passed, they also realized the benefits of this unique companionship, the gap between the two gradually disappeared, and they even fell in love with each other.
The fantasy setting of the film is like a long-distance couple in life. Although they are not together, they seem to be inseparable from each other.
It is a challenge for Shi Boyu to play roles in different places and maintain consistency with each other. He needs to perform many times without physical objects, which is equivalent to acting against the air.
Zhou still started filming first, and Shi Boyu joined the group later. He needed to fully understand the actions and habits of the other party, began to imitate and copy, and then used performances to present these states: "For example, what actions did she do, what did she say, You have to master how you feel. For example, everyone has different ways of being sad. When they are sad, some people bury their heads and cry, and some people try not to cry. So I have to try to figure out her heart and try my best to reach an agreement with her. I'm used to responding in a high-spirited way." Shi Boyu said with a smile that after filming this drama for a long time, he would occasionally feel a little unhinged, but throughout the filming stage, he once again experienced the joy of acting.
Romance films have different appearances, and the mind is more peaceful after "Want to See You"
Shi Boyu and Zhou are still working together for the first time. They didn't have much time to work together before shooting, so they started shooting immediately after joining the group. How to establish a tacit understanding between the two in a short period of time has also become a challenge for this performance, "Actually, , At first, we were not too familiar with each other's state, but it was more suitable for the filming of the plot. I and I are still actors who love acting, and it would be a little nervous to have such a close cooperation, but later we were able to quickly adjust our mentality, To communicate and adapt to each other's rhythm, it feels very natural and comfortable to cooperate."
Shi Boyu said that love-type movies are not just imaginative and can be performed arbitrarily. If you can explore a genre of movies to the extreme, it will take time.
For him, who is not a professional and accidentally became an actor, he is more focused on acting what he feels at this stage, and he will also try and challenge more impossibility in the process, telling the audience that romantic films can have many appearances ——It can be a happy enemy or a very sad plot, each appearance will have a lot of gains if it is well behaved.
Looking back on the filming of "Want to See You", many times he cried a lot because he was too deep in the play, especially when it was finished, he hid in the closet and cried uncontrollably.
Everyone knows that he loves to cry very much, but now Shi Boyu has changed a lot, he has become more free and easy, and his mentality is more peaceful.
"I live a very free and easy life now. I don't feel nervous before filming, and I don't cry after filming. There will be too many distractions and pressure. Of course, I will still perform in a very engaged state during filming, but my current mentality allows me to get out after filming, which shortens a lot of 'playing' time. There is a chance to breathe." Shi Boyu said that now he yearns to be as straight as the boys in the north, more free and straightforward, and hopes to be more himself, to be able to distinguish between work and life, so that he can perform in a more comfortable state.
