Actor's Road

Chapter 23 Kunlun

At the end of November 2014, Anyang joined the crew of the TV series "Kunlun".

"Kunlun" is a martial arts drama created by New Media and Sunrise Film and Television. It is adapted from Feng Ge's martial arts novel of the same name. With the historical background of the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, it tells the legendary experience of the protagonist Liang Xiao growing up from a prodigal son to a generation of heroes. .

Among the top executives of Mediacorp, there are fans of "Kunlun". They bought the right to adapt the novel to TV dramas as early as 2010. However, because the TV dramas that Mediacorp had previously produced were all modern dramas, they had no experience in producing costume dramas or martial arts dramas. Therefore, the plan to put the novel on the silver screen has never been carried out.In recent years, almost all Huaguo TV dramas that have become popular are costume dramas, and New Media has also come up with the idea of ​​getting involved in costume dramas. In the first half of 2014, New Media collaborated with Tang Yao Film and Television, who started out as a production of ancient costume idol dramas, to produce the TV series "The Story of a Female Doctor", which gave them some experience in producing ancient costume dramas, and the shooting of "Kunlun" was also put on the agenda. .

New Mediacorp and Rising Sun Films have devoted a lot of effort and investment to the creation of "Kunlun". The behind-the-scenes crews are all the best within their abilities. The directors are Kong Sheng and Li Xue from Rising Sun Films. The theme, Wang Zi, who has written "Legend of Mufu" and "Dance and Music", and the martial arts director invited Zhao Jian, who had cooperated with Zhang Jizhong many times.

In terms of actors, it has long been determined that An Yang will play the leading role Liang Xiao.One of the heroines - the genius doctor Hua Xiaoshuang who has been separated from Liang Xiao's childhood sweetheart but has been separated several times is starred by the newcomer Qiao Lele who is highly praised by Sunrise Film and Television.The other heroine, Liang Xiao's first love, is a martial arts expert, Liu Yingying, a strange woman who eventually formed the Twelve Birds of Tianshan in Tianshan, and finally fell to Jin Chen, a newcomer of Tang Yao Film and Television, who had cooperated with New Media.

The three leading actors all chose newcomers. In order to hold the lineup, in terms of supporting roles, the producer invited many outstanding golden supporting roles.Liang Xiao's father, Liang Wenjing, is guest-starred by Wang Kai, an artist under Rising Sun; his mother, Xiao Yuling, is guest-starred by Liu Tao, who has collaborated with Rising Sun many times; Xiao Qianjue, Xiao Yuling's master and the cause of Liang Xiao's ups and downs, is guest-starred by Hong Kong veteran artist Zhang Zhaohui , Hua Xiaoshuang's grandparents, entangled for a lifetime, Gong Yangyu and Hua Wuyu, who are both enemies and friends with Liang Xiao, are starred by Liu Yijun and Liu Mintao under Rising Sun respectively. In martial arts films, Huang Yangbing, who has gradually faded out of the film industry in recent years, and the villain Han Ningzi who loves and hates Hua Qingyuan are played by the glamorous and charming Wang Ling. Snow is played by Wu Qian, who once collaborated with An Yang in "The Rabbit Overwhelms the Grass".The general Yunshu, who is also an enemy and friend with Liang Xiao, and has a lot of roles, is played by Li Xian, an artist newly signed by The Force, and Hua Murong, Hua Xiaoshuang's aunt who later married Yunshu, is played by Guo Zhenni.Guo Zhenni is nearly ten years older than Li Xian, but Li Xian looks tough and not tender, and it seems that there is no sense of disobedience when playing CP with Guo Zhenni.Young Liang Xiao, New Media originally planned to invite Wu Sanshi who played the role of the young Ling Chao in "The Rabbit Overwhelms the Grass", but Wu Sanshi has grown so fast in just one year that he is no longer suitable for this role. In the end, we had to invite the very popular child star Huang Tianqi born in 2004, and the young Hua Xiaoshuang was played by child star Ji Zihan born in 2007.

As early as a year ago, the actual scene selection began one after another. The props and costumes have also been produced, the actors are in place, and as soon as the leading actor An Yang enters the stage, "Kunlun" immediately began to shoot quickly and methodically.

This is the first time Anyang has filmed a costume film.This made him deeply aware of the difficulty of shooting ancient costume film and television.In order to look good, the costumes of costumes should not be too thick, which leads to the consequences of being too cold in winter and too hot in summer.In particular, most of "Kunlun" was shot on location, and there were many out-of-season scenes and large-scale scenes, so it was very hard to shoot.

Because the main plot of the story mainly revolves around the growth of Liang Xiao, except for the young Liang Xiao played by Huang Tianqi, the age span of Liang Xiao played by An Yang has been from 30 years old, and his mood has also changed from extreme and high-spirited at the beginning to After experiencing a series of tribulations, the heart is ashamed, and finally he returns to his innocence and suddenly becomes enlightened. He is a character with many fates, contradictions and complexities.The creation of this character is not easy for An Yang who has not had a lot of life experience and grew up under the love of his parents.Especially in the second half of the TV series, Anyang needs to restrain his emotions and act in a closed manner, which is very different from most of his previous acting methods.Fortunately, under the guidance of the director and seniors, An Yang himself was willing to work hard, figure out the psychology of the characters, analyze the experiences of the characters, and gradually entered the play, and his performance became better and better.On the other hand, the action scenes that made Xiao Yuan and Yu Geng very worried before the filming started, because of Anyang's well-developed motor nerves, it was not difficult to shoot.Generally, actors who are good at filming are either from martial arts or dance since childhood. Anyang is neither, but he excels in his flexibility, body coordination, and strong learning ability.At the beginning, the action director didn't know Anyang's level, so he didn't dare to design too difficult moves for him, but after shooting a few scenes, he found that Anyang was very talented in shooting scenes, and the moves designed for him could be performed very well. So I added a few more handsome fighting scenes to him.

During the filming of "Kunlun" in Anyang, Yang Yueming visited several classes.After filming the movie "Family Suffering", in addition to dubbing the animated film "Flower and Alice Murder Case", Conan's 20th anniversary SP "The Disappearance of Edogawa Conan ~The Worst Two Days in History~" and promoting the movie "The Last Apart from "Like You", there is no other work arranged.

"The Murder of Flower and Alice" is directed by Shunji Iwai. It tells the story of the acquaintance between the transfer student Alice and Hana who did not go to school and their involvement in a mysterious "killing" incident. It is the 2004 movie "Flower and Alice". The prequel to Silk.Although it was only played by voice, it is of great significance to Yang Yueming to be able to play the role of Arai Hana again after ten years.

"The Disappearance of Edogawa Conan ~The Worst Two Days in History~" is a special plan for the [-]th anniversary of the serialization of "Detective Conan". The producer invited Kenji Uchida, the director and screenwriter of the movie "How to Steal the Key" .Teruyuki Kagawa and Akira Kondo and Kanae Mizushima who played in the movie will also appear in this SP.They will reprise their roles in the film with voice appearances.

In the first half of 2014, due to the release of the movie "Lovers", Yang Yueming was popular on Huaguo's Internet for a while, and this caused a wave of nostalgia, but she is not active in Huaguo, and there is no follow-up. The TV series that sparked the topic was broadcast, and the popularity quickly dropped.That's why her visit to Anyang was so quiet and did not cause any commotion.However, there is also the reason why Yang Yueming deliberately kept a low profile.Yang Yueming and Anyang are very serious about this relationship. Neither of them intends to use their relationship to hype up, nor do they want to be taken advantage of by those who want to.

In mid-January 2015, the filming of "Kunlun" in Hengdian was completed, and the crew had two days to rest before moving to Xiangshan.Anyang received a call from Xiao Yuan asking him to go back to the capital.Anyang didn't dare to delay, and hurried back to the capital without stopping.He knew that if Mr. Xiao could speak in person, something big must happen.His usual performing arts affairs are arranged by his agent Yu Geng, and Xiao Yuan is still required to check the important work.This is the same as his original model at Amuse Office. Adachi is in charge of daily work, and Harada will still be in charge of important decisions.

Anyang's feeling is indeed correct, Xiao Yuan really has a big deal to find him.

"What do you think about these two movies?" Xiao Yuan asked.

An Yang flipped through the plans of the two movies that Xiao Yuan handed him, hesitant.

"The Great Wall" is a fantasy action film co-produced by Huami and China. It is directed by Zhang Guoshi, the film master of Huaguo. In terms of actors, apart from Matt Damon and Pedro Pascal from the United States, Hong Kong Island actor has been confirmed to join. Liu Hua and mainland movie star Zhang Hanyu can be said to have a very strong cast.Being able to act in such a star-studded blockbuster is an extremely precious opportunity for Anyang, even if there are not many roles.

"In addition to powerful factions like Liu Hua and Zhang Hanyu, Director Zhang also plans to invite a few popular young male artists to attract the audience. I heard Director Zhang talk about the plot, and he prefers you to play a character who was bold at first. Small and cowardly, but will eventually grow up and sacrifice his own soldier." Xiao Yuan said.She hopes that Anyang can choose "The Great Wall".Anyang's film journey has just begun, and it is the best policy to proceed steadily.Although there are not many roles for the role that Anyang will play, the character setting is pleasing.Zhang Guoshi's achievements in literary and artistic films are obvious to all, but commercial films have always been criticized and criticized. However, this film has a large investment, a star-studded film, and is a blockbuster special effects film. The box office must not be bad.

An Yang knew that Xiao Yuan must have thought it over carefully, and he just came to inform him more, so he nodded and asked, "When will this movie be shot?"

"It is expected to start in April, and it will probably be filmed in summer!" Xiao Yuan said.

"Huh?" Anyang was a little surprised.

"what happened?"

"In the summer, Amuse has already arranged a job for me." An Yang said.When filming "Dream Eater", two teachers, Tsugumi Oba and Takeshi Obata, visited the class.They had a good impression of Anyang, so when NTV proposed the TV series "Death Note", the two teachers recommended him to play L. The TV series "Death Note" is expected to be aired this summer, and Anyang will enter the filming crew in June at the latest.

"The schedule is in conflict." Xiao Yuan sighed, "I can't help it, it seems that I have to give up "The Great Wall"." She said, turning her attention to the movie script of "The Adventures of the Little Demon King", "I can only choose it. "

"The Adventures of the Little Demon King" tells the story of the young boy Song Tianyin who is pregnant with the soon-to-be-born Little Demon King by accident.During this process, Song Tianyin, Huo Xiaolan and the little demon king Huba developed a deep relationship. They originally planned to sell Huba, but finally rescued Huba from the old demon.The filming of this film was completed as early as last summer, but because one of the leading actors, Ke Teng, was poisoned, all the parts about him in this film had to be replaced and re-shot.

Xiao Yuan has cooperated with producer Jiang Zong several times, so when looking for actors, Jiang Zong found Xiao Yuan, who currently has several popular young actors in the company.

Xiao Yuan has read the script of "The Adventures of the Little Demon King". There are laughs and tears. It is a family movie that is suitable for the whole family to watch together. However, costume movies are not popular in China. Secondly, there was an accident in this movie, which made people in the entertainment industry who value the lottery not optimistic about this movie.If there were no other better choices, Xiao Yuan would definitely not choose this movie for Anyang.

On February 2015, 2, the production company announced that An Yang would replace Ke Teng in filming his role in "The Adventures of the Little Demon King".

At the end of February 2015, after filming "Kunlun", An Yang entered the re-shooting set of "The Adventures of the Little Demon King".This brought a new experience to Anyang.

As a fantasy film, there must be many green screen shots. The rivalry scenes between Anyang and the Little Demon King all have to be completed by imagination. It is not difficult to say.What is really difficult is the split of the plot.

Although the shooting of other film and television works will not be shot completely according to the script time, the scenes are at least complete.As for the filming of "The Adventures of the Little Demon King", because it was a supplementary filming, the schedules of other actors except the newcomer An Yang needed to be coordinated. He is playing a one-man show alone.

While filming "The Adventures of the Little Demon King", Anyang will also promote the movie "Return to Youth".The film premiered nationwide on April 2015, 4.

As early as January this year, the remake of "Back to 1" was released. This movie earned 20 million at the box office.This makes people in the industry not optimistic about "Return to Youth", which has a very similar theme.

An Yang, the lead actor of "Return to Youth", currently has only two online dramas broadcast in China. Although it looks very popular, it is actually only a false popularity, and its box office appeal is mediocre.Zhang Xueying and Bai Jingting, who played important roles in the movie, one was born as a child star and has excellent acting skills, but their popularity is not as good as that of Anyang and Bai Jingting. People are famous.Director Seinfeld is a newcomer. He only worked as a photographer for the movies "Bullfight" and "The Grand Master" before, and he didn't have much box office appeal.For the movie box office, Guangxian Media, which has always been good at marketing, pulls out all the points that can be hyped and uses all means to promote it.

At the beginning of the film, Xu Rong and Huang Bo, who played the main guest roles of middle-aged Lin Rong and his friends, attracted audiences to the theater with the appeal of their golden partners.The young actor Fei Xia who played the guest role of young Li Xiang stood out in the audition of Zhou Xingxing's movie last year and became the heroine of the movie "Mermaid". The title attracted another wave of viewers.Anyang and Bai Jingting, who are the leading actors, also went non-stop across the country to participate in variety shows and road shows, and worked hard on publicity, trying their best to achieve good results for their first film in China.The island country is small, and there are not many places to go for promotion, so this is the first time that Anyang has participated in such a high-intensity and intensive film promotion.

Fortunately, "Return to Youth" is well-produced, the script is excellent, and the actors' acting skills are in place. After experiencing the initial decline, it successfully launched a counterattack with its good reputation.Anyang's acting skills have also been recognized by most of the audience.His previous roles were sunny or handsome or warm or restrained or melancholy or omnipotent. Although this type of role attracted fans, it did not leave a deep impression on people.In "Return to Youth", An Yang, who starred in a comedy for the first time, contracted more than 70.00% of the jokes in the movie, and the transition between funny and deep is also relatively good, acting as a middle-aged man who bears the burden of life pressure and helplessness.Most of the critics gave him good reviews.

The author has something to say: Female protagonist works: 1. The movie "The Way to Steal the Key", filmed in October 2011 and released in September 10, plays the role of Mizushima Kanae, the editor-in-chief of the magazine who is anxious to get married. In December 2012, in the linkage between "Detective Conan" and "How to Steal the Key", as Kanae Mizushima, she dubbed "Detective Conan 9th Anniversary SP: The Disappearance of Edogawa Conan ~The Worst Two Days in History~" .In reality, this role is played by Ryoko Hirosue.
