Literary star gave a lecture｜When Hu Ge walked into the "County Party Committee Compound": But do good deeds, don't ask about the future

　　Dressed in a neat shirt and suit jacket, with a resounding sentence of "break the boat", a new acting county magistrate, Mei Xiaoge, played by Hu Ge, appeared in front of the audience.

In the TV series "County Party Committee Compound", which focuses on county governance, Mei Xiaoge faced various stubborn diseases in "Guangming County" and faced difficulties and broke the situation with difficulty, which made the audience nervous but excited.

　　When prefectures and counties are governed, the world will be safe.

In my country's governance system, county governance is an important cornerstone of national governance.

On the screen, Mei Xiaoge "three fires for new officials to take office"; off the screen, "County Party Committee Compound" aroused heated discussions among the audience as soon as it was broadcast.

"For me, filming "County Party Committee Compound" is an unprecedented big test." In an exclusive interview with People's Daily Online, Hu Ge said frankly that the filming process made him a little uneasy, "But if we don't take this step, I'll never know where my shortcomings are."

　　Talking about the role: Facing difficulties, the more frustrated, the more courageous

　　People.cn: "County Party Committee Compound" has achieved outstanding results since its broadcast. Why do you think this drama can attract audiences?

　　Hu Ge: First of all, as a work with a realistic theme, "County Party Committee Compound" shows the fireworks in life, which can make the audience feel immersive.

Secondly, the reason why "County Party Committee Compound" can bring some brand-new feelings to the audience is that while it faces various problems in reality and takes care of the ups and downs of the world, it also allows everyone to see hope and feel the power of warmth through the appearance of life. .

　　People.cn: When you first received the script, what was your biggest feeling?

How did you prepare for the role of Mei Xiaoge?

　　Hu Ge: To be honest, I had some concerns before joining the group.

Because I am relatively unfamiliar with the group of grassroots cadres represented by Mei Xiaoge, and I know little about their work and life.

I would like to thank our screenwriter Mr. Wang Xiaoqiang and director Mr. Mao Junlin. They spent more than half a year collecting materials before shooting. I consulted them for relevant professional knowledge.

For me, filming "County Party Committee Compound" was an unprecedented big test-in this regard, I feel that Mei Xiaoge and I are a bit like each other, we both face difficulties, and the more frustrated we become, the more courageous we become.

　　People.cn: In your mind, what kind of person is Mei Xiaoge?

Was there a moment when you felt like you were part of the character?

　　Hu Ge: In the eyes of ordinary people, Mei Xiaoge is an ideal and innocent person.

Environmental protection, medical care, land transfer, and large-scale planting, these series of decision-making issues, to use the lines in the play, are not what Mei Xiaoge should consider, and he cannot solve them.

But Mei Xiaoge has the courage to break the boat and the determination to overcome all difficulties.

In his view, many things are not difficult at all if the starting point is for the people.

　　What moved me the most in the play was the relationship between Mei Xiaoge and his mother.

Many conversations between mother and child can be said to be a true restoration of my personal life.

With the understanding and support of her mother, Mei Xiaoge has no worries at work.

He built thousands of families in the county as his own, and cared for all mothers as his own.

Although the daily interaction between mother and child is not much, I can find Mei Xiaoge's most authentic motivation for serving the people wholeheartedly.

　　Talking about performance: face the reality and treat each other with sincerity

　　People.cn: There are many scenes involving face-to-face communication, with a lot of lines.

How do you deal with these long lines?

　　Hu Ge: I think memorizing lines is the most basic quality for an actor.

Under the suggestion of Mr. Huang Lei, I will divide the next day's lines into two periods to memorize, so I can often see the sunrise in Hefei during that period.

　　People's Daily Online: "County Party Committee Compound" gathered many actors of different ages.

How was the whole crew doing when they were working?

Cooperate with director Kong Sheng again, what kind of impression did he leave on you this time?

　　Hu Ge: During this filming process, it can be said that there are large courtyards inside and outside the film, and the atmosphere is very harmonious. Everyone looks up and down almost every day.

　　I seldom see Director Kong in such a tired state. It may be that this filming encountered a lot of difficulties. Every time I see this lovely "old urchin" on the set, I feel a little distressed.

Recently, from the publicity to the broadcast, we have hardly seen Director Kong. He is such a person, "flick off his clothes when things happen, and hide his merits and fame."

　　People.cn: In "County Party Committee Compound", we saw a group of grassroots cadres who went all out for the better life of the people.

In your opinion, what qualities should a character possess in order to truly impress the audience?

　　Hu Ge: We can see in the "County Party Committee Compound" that if grassroots cadres lack sincerity in their work, they will not be able to integrate into the people, and they will not be able to tell the truth, tell the truth, and do practical things.

In artistic creation, sincerity is equally important.

"Fu Lei's Family Letter" wrote, "Sincerity is the key to the first art... Only with sincerity can one have an open mind, and with an open mind, one is willing to abandon oneself to understand others, and one can let go of hypocritical self-esteem to understand oneself. "I think a good work needs to have the power to face reality directly, without whitewashing or pretentiousness, and at the same time have the warmth of observing the world, and let the sun shine on every neglected corner as much as possible.

　　Talking about the future: but do good deeds, don't ask about the future

　　People.cn: Li Xiaoyao, Mei Changsu, Mei Xiaoge... After playing so many successful roles, how did you seek your own breakthrough in art?

　　Hu Ge: Every breakthrough is an adventure. I have never been a particularly confident person. There is no so-called "comfort zone" or "safe zone" for me. Only by constantly exploring can I have new discoveries and opportunities. The harvest, such as playing the role of the secretary of the county party committee this time, although I feel a bit uneasy inside, if I don’t take this step, I will never know where my shortcomings are.

　　People's Daily Online: In "County Party Committee Compound", Mei Xiaoge's line "There are not so many erasers in life, some things can't be erased" is impressive.

How do you see the relationship between past and present?

What plans do you have for the future?

　　Hu Ge: The present is the sum of all the past, and the two cannot be separated.

Regarding my future, in fact, my pace has never stopped and I have been filming, but the broadcast time has not yet been determined.

In short, we must learn from Comrade Mei Xiaoge, "But do good deeds, don't ask about the future"!
