A long messy hair is tied up at will, wearing the conspicuous orange overalls of the takeaway, riding a battery car through the alleys and alleys of Shanghai... When actor Hai Qing appeared in the new drama "Home of the Heart" in such a style, There is no shadow of the capable and delicate "Tiger Mother" in the previous works.
Since the start of the TV series "Home of the Heart", Haiqing's acting skills have become a hot topic among netizens.
Whether it is standing at the door of the rescue room, facing the sudden death of her husband in the play, without a single tear, she shows the pain in her heart with slight trembling and consternation in her eyes; After letting himself cry, a teardrop crossed the corner of his eyes... It can be said that Haiqing played the bitter and tortuous life course of Feng Xiaoqin, a foreign daughter-in-law, which made the audience worried.
"I like Feng Xiaoqin quite a bit. She is an 'unbeatable little strong', very like a superhero, and she is very flamboyant." In an interview with the cover news, Haiqing expressed his love and admiration for the character.
After a lapse of more than ten years, she once again appeared in a film and television drama that fell into the problem of "buying a house". She hesitated and refused.
In the end, after the invitation of director Teng Huatao and the approval of the script, she took over the role of "Feng Xiaoqin".
Although the story revolves around "buying a house", what is told in "House of the Heart" is the story of all beings represented by "Feng Xiaoqin" who work tirelessly in the quagmire of life.
The problem of "buying a house"
"Feng Xiaoqin is an unbeatable little guy"
Whether it's the title of the play "Home in the Heart", the character setting of a foreign daughter-in-law, and the inescapable problem of "buying a house" in the play, it is very easy for the audience to think of "Dwelling", which hit a record high in ratings back then.
Therefore, Haiqing bluntly said that he really didn't want to take it that much at first.
"I will have concerns." Haiqing mentioned the "Dwelling" that caught fire more than ten years ago, which is also a story about "buying a house".
In an interview with the media before, Haiqing also said that "Feng Xiaoqin" is a relatively familiar character to her, and there is not much freshness.
In fact, not only the setting of "buying a house", Haiqing has acted in many family dramas in a broad sense, and they have obtained good ratings and hot topics, which once earned her the title of "national daughter-in-law".
But upon closer inspection, the social issues that each drama focuses on and the core it wants to express are different.
For example, "Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law" explores the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in contemporary urban families, and "Little Joy" shows the education status of urban college entrance examination families.
"The plot of the drama "House of the Heart" is something I have never encountered before. The conflict between Feng Xiaoqin and her eldest sister-in-law is so intense, as well as her relationship with her husband and the family, and many times it is almost incompatible. , the dramatic tension is very strong." In addition, the play is also a very sincere work for director Teng Huatao to return to the screen after many years.
"The script is very solid and very attractive to me." So, in the play, there is now "Feng Xiaoqin".
Even though she has acted in many classic screen images, in Haiqing's view, Feng Xiaoqin is unique and positive.
During the interview, Hai Qing repeatedly expressed his appreciation and admiration for the character.
"I like Feng Xiaoqin quite a bit. She is an 'unbeatable little strong', very like a superwoman, and she is very fireworks."
In fact, in the hearts of the general public, Feng Xiaoqin's life experience can be said to be tragic and miserable.
Bereavement, buying a house, starting a business... All kinds of problems are accumulated on a middle-aged woman, forcing her to bear the burden of life.
But at the same time, for actors, such roles show more performance possibilities.
"She doesn't have the aura of the script, she doesn't have those honors and miracles, she just fell into the dirt. Her husband is dead, she can't afford a house, her children have to go to school, and there are still a lot of things at home. Relatively speaking, such a role is more attractive to me. , the sense of layering will be stronger when acting, it really needs to rely on each scene to fight it out." Hai Qing said.
Between the market and the square
“Favorite takeaway scene”
During the filming of "Home of the Heart", Haiqing once created a "tongue twister", the content of which is "large vegetable market, small vegetable market, vegetable market, square", because in these short ten words, almost covers her Most of the scenes of the show were filmed.
In the shot, Haiqing is wearing a deliveryman's costume and a bulky helmet, riding a battery car through the three streets and six alleys of Shanghai, or running on the stairs of an old community, delivering takeaways in a hurry.
Haiqing said that sometimes when filming a scene of delivering food for one day, he ran upstairs and downstairs, and he couldn't lift his legs the next day.
But she especially likes takeaway scenes. In order to make it well, she often observes the takeaways on the street.
"I have to learn the way they hold things and run. That ugly running posture is very real in the movie."
In the plot hotly debated by netizens, Feng Xiaoqin lost his source of income due to his widowhood, so after being a full-time mother for 8 years, she went out to work to deliver food. She also had to take care of the elderly and children. No wonder netizens sighed, "Feng Xiaoqin played by Hai Qing is too Difficult".
In Hai Qing's narration, there are many unforgettable memories when filming the scene as a deliveryman.
For example, the scene where Feng Xiaoqin squeezed out time to eat a box lunch between takeaway deliveries was evaluated by many netizens as "very real".
Haiqing talked about the shooting behind the scene, and said that it was "the most delicious lunch" she ate.
"It happened to be raining that day, and I was running around for a day without eating. I was so hungry that my chest was sticking to my back. It happened that the crew prepared Feng Xiaoqin's lunch box for me. I think it was the most delicious lunch I had in the group. Director Stop, I'm still eating."
From "Dwelling" to "Dwelling in the Heart"
"House is important, but not so important." From Haiping, who was looking for money to buy a house in "The House", and Gong Beibei, who hoped to buy a house to avoid conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in "Settlement", to "House in the Heart" urgently Feng Xiaoqin, who wants to settle down in Shanghai, has three characters who compete with "buying a house" among the roles played by Haiqing.
Speaking of these characters who are obsessed with "buying a house" and have worked hard all their lives just to have a place to live, Hai Qing said that he can empathize with them and understand the situation of the characters better.
"Who doesn't count for life?" It's understandable when a foreigner comes to a big city and wants to find a place in it.
"When I was filming "Dwelling", I had a feeling that very few people were seaweed, most of them were Haiping. I may be more in love with such characters. The characters are multi-faceted, selfish, sunny, and happy. Helping people, making mistakes. I like this kind of more realistic characters that don't have their own highlights and halo."
Similarly, Haiqing's appreciation and love for Feng Xiaoqin also stems from this truth.
"I don't think Feng Xiaoqin is humble, and I don't think I have to look down at her." Even sometimes, Haiqing asked himself whether he could turn around after experiencing a low point in his life, and whether he could be like Feng Xiaoqin. , and finally got rid of the sadness of fate and lived a prosperous life.
"I respect and admire people who work hard like this. I think Feng Xiaoqin is worthy of respect... Feng Xiaoqin gave a very good answer to this big test in life. She completely changed her destiny through her own efforts." Haiqing Say.
Played so many characters about "buying a house" and experienced many life stories derived from "settling home". In Haiqing's view, a house is important, but not so important. The most important thing is people's hearts. Live in a house, or live somewhere.
"I think the name 'Xinju' is very good, it is a place where the heart is peaceful. Sometimes even if you have a home, but you still feel uneasy inside, this home is not a home. It's about finding what you want. Find your own value." Haiqing said that Feng Xiaoqin just lost her self for a long time, but in the end, she gained "where her heart lives".
"Opening a nursing home has both social and personal benefits, and her life has changed a lot."
