The success of "Gongsuo Xinyu" made He Shengming taste the sensation of becoming popular overnight. "The mentality has also drifted. It is actually difficult not to drift, but I think the key is that after the mentality has drifted, it can land and return to seriousness. Life."

　　Ten years ago, He Shengming, who had just gained super popularity because of the TV series "Gong Suo Xin Yu", was still worried about how to remove the label of "Four Masters".

Ten years later, the prince Zhu Biao in the hit drama "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight" asked him to let go of everything and devote himself to the pleasure brought by the performance.

　　He said that in order to prove himself, he continued to film, hoping to break through the classics he created through different types of roles.

Later, he learned to reconcile with himself, and also learned to slow down. "If you have a good role, go to shoot, and when you don't have a job, you can enjoy life." For example, Qiu Ziliang, the villain in "Song with the King", "It's not easy to get an audience to play a villain, but it's really fun to play."

　　Some people say that He Shengming is different from ten years ago, and some people say that he has not changed at all.

"I'm still me. It's the same as ten years ago. This is the bottom line I stick to in my heart. My mood has not changed, but the growth of the past ten years has been injected into it, making my core harder and wider." He knows that now is the best self.

The 9 months of being Zhu Biao is like going through a journey

　　In 2011, the hit of "Palace Lock Heart Jade" made He Shengming, one of the leading actors, become a household name actor.

In this Qing palace drama, He Shengming plays the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, and Feng Shaofeng plays the eighth elder brother Yinzhen. The two are brothers and enemies in the play, and they staged a battle for succession together.

Outside the play, He Shengming and Feng Shaofeng also became good friends because of the play.

Later, everyone developed in their own circles, and rarely had the opportunity to cooperate again.

One day in November 2017, He Shengming received an invitation from the team of the TV series "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight", "The other party told me: Shengming, this project is very good, and you and the Shaofeng brothers can reunite again."

　　After getting the script, He Shengming couldn't put it down. He felt that it was a good project worth spending time and energy on, and he did it.

In the TV series "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight", He Shengming plays Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son Zhu Biao, who is also the eldest brother of Zhu Di (Feng Shaofeng).

In the history most people have seen, Zhu Biao has almost been taken over by one stroke. Facing such a character, He Shengming spent a lot of time collecting various historical materials, both official and unofficial history.

　　As a historical figure, He Shengming first held a sense of awe. He deliberately went to Lintan County, Gansu Province, where the main hall of the Yuan Dynasty is still preserved, "Lintan County also has 18 temples, Zhu Biao's 18 ministers, one There is a temple, and some of them even enshrine Zhu Yuanzhang." He Shengming said.

　　This interlaced sense of time and space and historical space made him feel that he was approaching Zhu Biao, the prince of the year. This is a way for him to find a link with history.

"I will walk the road he walked 700 years ago, and this will become my inner support as an actor."

　　In order to make this play well, He Shengming worked on the crew for 9 months.

"I feel like I've been Zhu Biao for 9 months, it's like I've experienced a crossing." The scene of the finale was filmed on the grassland. On the night that was about to be finished, he walked two kilometers alone, watching the vast grassland and Staring at the stars, he said to himself, as if saying to Zhu Biao: "I'm going back, I left you (Zhu Biao) in the grassland."

talk about roles

After being a prince for 25 years, he lived very depressed

　　"When facing a role, rather than thinking about how to play him, it is better to think about how to be him."

　　He Shengming believes that to become Zhu Biao, you must first understand what kind of person he is.

Through reading a large number of historical documents and combining the script, He Shengming felt that Zhu Biao was a very kind person, and his benevolence was his characteristic. "He was educated in Confucianism since he was a child, and his way of governing the country is diametrically opposite to that of Zhu Yuanzhang." , Zhu Biao has always advocated reopening the imperial examination and opposed his father's establishment of Jinyiwei, while Zhu Yuanzhang (played by Chen Baoguo) is dedicated to eradicating obstacles for his son, hoping to leave a clear road for his children and grandchildren.

"Zhu Yuanzhang loves this prince very much, but everything he has done has caused huge psychological pressure on the prince." He Shengming analyzed.

　　Facing his father Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao was afraid.

From the establishment of the Chu Chu to his death, Zhu Biao had been the crown prince for 25 years. He was concerned about the world. He wanted to share the government affairs for his father, but he was contrary to his father's political views. Zhu Biao finally suffered from depression." He Shengming said.

In the performance, he also enlarged these details according to his own analysis and understanding of Zhu Biao.

　　In addition, He Shengming will silently record Chen Baoguo's gestures, and then rationally use and allocate them to his performances, including when speaking to ministers, when he is with his younger brother... "Because he is my father, I am His son, who is with him every day, will definitely be subtly influenced by him, which is also a kind of 'the son inherits the father's business'." From another point of view, He Shengming felt that the prince was also Zhu Yuanzhang's subject, when the emperor drank water, what When you get angry, Zhu Biao, as the prince, should know best.

　　There is also a scene that impressed He Shengming deeply. When he and Zhu Di were discussing the current suffering of the Daming people in the paddy field, he picked a piece of rice, dipped it in tea and wrote the word "an", hoping that the Daming people would be prosperous and peaceful. The design of picking rice was an "additional drama" that he was completely immersed in the character at that time and took advantage of the situation. Now it seems that it not only conforms to the logic of the plot, but also makes the scene a lot more vivid.

chat partner

"Chen Baoguo looks like a cute old man"

　　Before the filming started, Chen Baoguo (playing Zhu Yuanzhang) was a very strict senior in He Shengming's impression, so he was very nervous when filming the opponent's scene, "This scene is shot backwards, and the plot develops to the later stage, Prince Zhu Biao is very afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang. , My attitude towards Teacher Chen Baoguo also fits the relationship between the characters, which is the kind of oppression he brings to me." After getting in touch, He Shengming found that Chen Baoguo was actually a very cute and interesting elder.

　　He still remembers that when he first joined the group, as long as he finished filming with Chen Baoguo, he would go to a place where the other party could not see and hide far away, "I don't dare to get close to him, whether it's in or out of the show. Afraid of affecting him, because he is very serious in preparing for the scene, he has been silent on his lines and grinding the scene, but on the other hand, he really dare not."

　　Later, there was a scene of father and son three people, when Chen Baoguo and Feng Shaofeng were sitting and chatting together, Chen Baoguo suddenly shouted: Where is the prince?

Quickly call the prince over.

During the chat, the distance was shortened, "I felt very friendly at the time." He Shengming still remembered changing costumes once, when he reached out his hand, Chen Baoguo happened to walk by, and after a flexible dodge, he joked: "I have been guarding you for a long time, You stinky boy, I knew you wanted to beat me all the time." He said, this is still the legendary strict old artist, just like a cute little old man.

"The tacit understanding with Feng Shaofeng needs no words"

　　When filming "Gong Suo Xin Yu", He Shengming and Feng Shaofeng forged a deep friendship.

Although the two have developed in different ways, their private exchanges and friendship have never been interrupted.

In "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight", Feng Shaofeng plays the adult Zhu Di. He cooperates again, and he is acting as a brother. Needless to say, the tacit understanding is seamless.

"We're still chatting here, and there's talk of shooting, we'll go straight to the state." He Shengming felt that although he and Feng Shaofeng hadn't seen each other for a long time, they were very close and harmonious as soon as they met.

"Cheng Yi is very stable in front of veteran actors"

　　In the play, Cheng Yi, the actor of the young Zhu Di, is also He Shengming's old partner. The two previously collaborated on the TV series "Liu Li" and "Song with Jun".

In "Liu Li", He Shengming plays the master of Lize Palace, the master of Si Feng played by Cheng Yi.

This time in "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight", the two played brothers.

"Cheng Yi put all his energy into the play. I think he acted very well and accurately, and he played very well in front of veteran actors like Chen Baoguo and Zhang Fengyi."

life affairs

Now, meet your best self

　　The success of "Gongsuo Xinyu" made He Shengming taste the sensation of becoming popular overnight. "The mentality has also drifted. It is actually difficult not to drift, but I think the key is that after the mentality has drifted, it can land and return to seriousness. Life." At that time, a large number of scripts and jobs rushed to him, because he was labeled "Fourth Master", and most of them were similar roles, which also gave him a headache.

　　There was a time when he was filming 360 days, 365 days a year.

He Shengming has tried various types of roles, trying to surpass the classic roles he once created in this way, but unfortunately all failed.

Later, he figured out that the reason why classic works and characters become classics is that it is difficult to surpass them. Instead of competing with himself, it is better to relax and enjoy the performance.

　　In recent years, He Shengming has not produced many works. He has learned to slow down and shoot any characters that can impress him, just like he is willing to spend 9 months immersing himself in the characters for "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight".

When the script didn't impress him, he stopped and enjoyed life.

"Frequent filming and excessive consumption are very harmful to actors. Actors cannot be separated from life. Art also comes from life. Although it is higher than life, we still need a real life." He Shengming said.

　　He said that the experience of life has opened up the dimension of performance for him, and he is proud of his ability to be able to return to the starting point after focusing on one thing.

"I'm actually still the same person I used to be. I haven't changed in the past ten years, including my physical condition. Now I have met my best self."

　　Some people lamented that the appearance of He Shengming today is almost the same as it was ten years ago. He smiled and said, "When I'm not filming, I'm keeping my health." This has become He Shengming's daily routine when he is not filming, "Because I have to prepare myself at any time, just like a vessel, I have to keep emptying myself, ready to meet the next role at any time, and then put it in."
