Career

From the primary school drama

Today, when Korean films and historical dramas are all over the screen, it's really hard for people to watch a TV play with the main theme of model figures. Some time ago, however, I watched two prime time CCTV plays, Ren Changxia and boundless Tianshan. Although the themes of these two plays are different, their biggest features are wonderful suspense and real details. I noticed that in these two plays, there is the same face, playing two very different roles. This man is Ren zewei.

I always thought that characters like the criminal police captain should be natural actors, because that kind of rough, uninhibited, casual, including a bit of weird, is something in the heart, and people who graduated from art college can't learn it. When I met Ren zewei, I once again understood the truth that "empiricism kills people.". He is not the same as the exhibition team leader at all. He is a serious, introverted and full of temperament.

Ren zewei studied opera since he was a child. He is a Beijing Opera family. His grandfather and father are both famous martial arts students in Qilu. Since he was 6 years old, he began to press his legs, split his legs and shout his voice with his father. At the age of 13, he entered Linyi art school. Ren's children are all like this. He doesn't feel good or bad. It was not until one night that he was "very eager to learn drama" consciously.

Usually, when his father came to the stage, he stood on the side screen with a large jar of strong tea in his hand. When his father came down, he quickly handed it to him. His father raised his beard, drank a few mouthfuls, turned around and went back to the stage. Just that day, his elder brother came to carry a mug for his father. For the first time, he sat in the audience and watched a play played by his father from beginning to end. That day's play is a new historical drama "blood splashing on the veil". My father plays a honest and upright official who is wrongly sentenced to the wrong case and is about to commit suicide. All around the audience are wiping their eyes with handkerchief. He is also sad with his father's role and has been weeping. In the process of watching the play, he even forgot that the actor on the stage was his father.

Solid child skills

Ren zewei benefited a lot from his solid child skills. When he entered the troupe, he immediately became the pillar of the troupe. He could easily jump down from a kite on four tables, and then sing in a round voice. But in the 1990s, the business that Ren family relied on for generations gradually declined. Sometimes, there were more than 10 people sitting under the stage in a play, less than the actors on the stage. His father sighed and agreed that zewei changed his career to the cultural center, where he began to get in touch with drama.

In the cultural center, he used his spare time to arrange a sketch. Unexpectedly, he won the second prize in the first provincial drama sketch competition in Jinan. From then on, he became interested in dialogue drama, and began to apply for the drama academy like a devil. In the spring, he began to get busy. First he went south to Shanghai, and then he went north to Beijing. He spent all his salary on the travel expenses and wanted to enter an art university. In 1993, he finally entered the Central Academy of drama.

Patience and energy

However, when he really left the performing arts circle, he realized that filming is as hard as performing Peking Opera, and even requires more patience and energy than opera. In 1997, his first play after graduation was a police play, a TV play "no wind tonight" directed by He Wei, in which he played a criminal policeman. One of the scenes was running along a coal conveying belt and chasing a criminal suspect. When the photo was taken, the suspect jumped first. He hung up on the bearings of the machine when he was wide and jumped down, and his shoulders fell heavily on the ground. In a trance, he realized that the director had not called "stop", so he stood up again and ran forward. The crew were stunned, waiting to come back to their senses before Hula came around. Later, when I looked at the camera, I found that it had not been turned off, and the whole process was photographed. The last broadcast in the country is the real picture of him staggering to the ground.

With his first experience as a criminal policeman, it seems to be a natural thing for Ren zewei to enter the crew of Ren Changxia. In October 2004, Ren Changxia, the police chief of Dengfeng City, Henan Province, made an emergency preparation for the production of a TV play, directed by the famous director Shen Haofang. Ren zewei has seen director Shen's TV play the happy life of poor Zhang Damin. He especially appreciates director Shen's works.

When the cast selects actors, the director asks many people to put on police uniforms, read lines or perform plots, and try the play one by one. When Ren zewei put on his police uniform, the director took a look at it and asked him to take it off. He had no bottom in his heart. He quickly went to the director and asked him, "why don't you let me try the play?" the director said, after reading your resume just now, didn't you play a criminal policeman? No need to try. As soon as he left, the director said to the people around him that he felt the most right just now.

Ren zewei so "easily" into the "Ren Changxia" crew. He entered the criminal police team of Dengfeng City Bureau to experience life according to the crew's arrangement. When creating characters, he asked the props department to prepare a black leather bag for him according to his own observation. Whether it's case handling or visiting, he always carries a small bag on many occasions, and his manner and manner are especially like a real criminal policeman. In the end, when the drama was examined by the leader of the Ministry of public security, a leader asked him, which bureau are you from? Does it affect the resolution of the case?

Ze Wei said that while filming, although it was hard and dangerous, the friendship cultivated in the crew was very sincere. He has a special iron brother, Ding Haifeng, who once played Wu Song in the TV series water margin. They met when they were shooting the TV series "boundless Tianshan" in Xinjiang. In the play, they play the positive and negative protagonists, fighting openly and secretly: when the play is over, they often come together to enjoy wine, cook delicious food, or exchange calligraphy, and they are leisurely and have a good temper. After shooting Ren Changxia this time, Ren zewei became good friends with several actors, such as Liu Jia, who played Ren Changxia. Director Shen Haofang especially likes zewei's forthright and delicate temperament. In his costume TV series yanheng, he continues to invite zewei to play one of the four leading roles.

Character evaluation

Don't show off

Personal introduction of interviewee: Ren zewei was born in a family of Peking Opera. He studied Peking Opera martial arts for five years. After graduating from art school, he was admitted to the performance Department of the Central Academy of drama and made a lot of films and TV plays. Over the past few years, he has taken part in the film "bloody Taihang" (as chief of staff Li Da), TV series "no wind tonight" (as criminal police captain Zhu Dagui), and "island without winter" (as Ding Hainan), etc. But it's Zheng Haotian, the anti-corruption director, who plays him in the best interests, and Zhan Feng, the criminal police captain, who plays him in Ren Changxia.

Ren zewei's appearance is very common. He has a sword eyebrow, a broad nose, thick lips, a flat head, a big watch, jeans, and a string of Buddhist beads on his left wrist. His brows are not angry.

When you see him and talk with him, you will feel that he has become vivid and rich. He is more like someone around you, more like the person you can really meet in your life. He is a man who is not good at words. He always answers the questions directly and briefly, and never shows off.

Acting doesn't depend on skill

In the TV series "an island without winter", Ren zewei plays Ding Hainan, a college student from Shandong Province who breaks into Hainan. He and Su Meng, the heroine played by Zhao Mingming, meet and fall in love in a shipwreck. After hard work, Ding Hainan invested in real estate and became a multimillionaire overnight. In order to save the love between Ding Hainan and Su Meng, Ding Hainan and Fei Yang, who is played by Wang Shihuai, have a business war and love war. In the end, they are defeated and have nothing.

"It's too emotional to play this role", but at that time, Ren zewei took over this laborious role and picked up the main beam on his own because he thought Ding Hainan was a strong man who had a very strong personality and dared to love and hate.

At that time, there was a scene where Ding Hainan stood by the sea and yelled at the sea: "I will never admit defeat until the last moment!" When shooting this scene, due to the limitation of shooting conditions, it can't be synthesized by computer like a movie, so it's all real. At sea, people can't stand steadily on the ship, so it's more difficult to take pictures. There is a scene of Ding Hainan rescuing people from falling down on the deck, which Ren zewei shot over and over again. I don't know how many times I fell. Once, he almost ran out of the guardrail and fell into the sea.

"It's impossible not to be bitter. If it's not bitter, it's a joke. But if you love this profession, at least you have to be responsible for yourself. " Ren zewei told me so.

"Acting is to be attentive. You have to keep an eye on it, on the script and on yourself."

"At that time, we made Ren Changxia. If it was a genre film, if you were disgusted with it, how could you play it well? But when we arrived in Henan, the local people were really suffering. You will know that the suffering is real and you can't help being moved. Real emotion, real passion is the most important thing. That's the essence of your performance. How strong your sensibility is, how strong your expressiveness will be. Acting doesn't depend on skills! "
