Talk about Kunqu Opera

Walking up the mountain road in the West Lake Scenic Area is the way to Lingyin Temple. Walk up the stone steps, gradually away from the crowd, through a small wooden door, and then walk up the stone road, next to a small osmanthus forest. At the end of the forest, I finally saw a round wooden door less than one person's height, pushed the door and pushed into the yard next to the gables, and saw the owner of the yard wearing a fabric cardigan.

This is the home of actor Xing Minshan, the courtyard in the mountains where he and his wife Niu Xiaoqing live in seclusion all the year round, the place where friends in the circle come to chat, and the courtyard where many celebrities in the pear garden come to sing and have fun. When friends in the circle came to visit, they joked, "No wonder you don't go back to Beijing, because you are guarding such a yard."

"It is in this yard that I read the script of" Fog in the Octagonal Pavilion ",and wuyue and the little actors also learn Kunqu Opera here." Xing Minshan said over tea.

When lifting the trouser leg, Xing Minshan's calf has a muscle that looks different from the one next to it, which is caused by a lens in the fog of Bajiaoge.

In the play, Ding radial followed Xuan Nianmei to the bar and found Zhu flirting with Xuan Nianmei and running out after her. Ding stretched his leg radially and tripped Zhu. At the shooting scene, Xing Minshan and Zhai's legs collided firmly, and the great pain made Xing Minshan's heart cool immediately. "No, I think my leg must be broken."

Everyone around came up, and Xing Minshan's leg was swollen with a fist-sized bag. He quickly calmed down and judged his injury according to his childhood practice experience. After taking a short breath, he stood up and insisted on shooting the scene of the day. Later, the whole scene, Xing Minshan's calf has been in a state of swelling and pain.

This scene was broadcast in the first episode, but the audience didn't know that it was Xing Minshan who tripped Zhai, because his telling lies was the burden of this mystery drama. The first ten episodes of the series have been focused on rendering the strange atmosphere of Xuanjia. The murder of a young girl in the early years and the murder of a gangster after 19 stirred up a small town in the south. In the last two episodes, the truth surfaced.

Xing Minshan plays Ding Fulie in the stills of Fog in the Octagonal Pavilion.

In the first ten episodes, Xing Minshan played Ding Radial Lie, the head of Kunqu Opera. He was steady and professional, training Kunqu Opera Troupe, striving for performance funds and looking for good prospects ... But there were not many scenes, as if he just made a guest appearance with wuyue, who played his wife. However, in the end, he suddenly became the protagonist. It turns out that the "black woman" who followed the heroine to kill gangsters in the early stage has always been lying in the radial direction. He is a transvestite and schizophrenic. In the bomb shelter behind the Kunqu Opera Troupe, Ding radial lies a secret world. On that stormy day more than ten years ago, Ding Radial wore a dress, a lot of makeup, a wig and sang "The Story of the Dead Sea" in an attempt to imprison the girl, but failed.

Although there are different opinions on the play, some viewers think there are many bugs, but the comments agree that the powerful actors in the play performed well, especially the last two episodes, Xing Minshan and wuyue, which became the highlights of the play. Xing Minshan played a complicated, nervous and sad role in the performance. Some netizens found that Xing Minshan didn't blink for a few minutes when another personality appeared and Ding was trapped violently, which showed his high determination.

The highlight of the bomb shelter almost hollowed out Xing Minshan, both psychologically and physically. After carrying another actor through the bomb shelter again and again and taking several shots, Xing Minshan, who is over half a year old, feels that her waist is about to break. "It was painful at that time, but if you want to be an actor, there is no way." Finally, after the bomb shelter was filmed, Xing Minshan had to run in the Woods in high heels. "Every step hurts."

Looking back on this passage, he felt a little sorry. "If I didn't have backache, I would have played better, and Ding radial would have been crazier."

After the killing, Ding radial sent her a brooch, and her mood fluctuated greatly. After the phone was turned off, Xing Minshan was still sitting in a chair crying. "His dream is broken, what kind of mood do you think he is? Must be very sad. In fact, actors are selling their feelings, which is very harmful. Only if I am so sincere will the audience believe me. "

In fact, for a certain generation of audience, it is quite interesting to see Xing Minshan playing transvestite in a skirt and heavy makeup, because one of his most recognized roles is Lin Tung, the criminal policeman in 20 1 1 Six Groups of Felony 4, in which he is decisive and wise, and successfully continues the classics of six groups of series.

For the older audience, they are more familiar with Xing Minshan. In the era when ancient costume was just popular, he was Fu Hongxue in Riding a Horse and the Whistling of the West Wind, and Bai Yunrui in The Knight with White Eyebrows. Most of them were masters with elegant long hair and high martial arts. Of course, there is also Li Gengming, a chivalrous genius in the classic TV series "He Qing Lost Love", and action art Zhao Dan ... Even if he plays the villain, Xing Minshan plays delicately.

However, after the upgrade of China drama experienced market changes, both costume drama and criminal investigation drama fell into a downturn, and Xing Minshan's appearance rate also declined. Now suddenly appeared on the screen wearing a skirt and high heels, Xing Minshan joked, "My father-in-law said after watching the play, I only watched it this time, and it had a great influence. Don't talk about him. I feel uncomfortable for the second time. I can't even imagine how I played this role. "

Xing Minshan did have a psychological struggle to accept Ding Radial's lying. First of all, the biggest feature of this role is transvestite.

The transvestite population is still a special group in today's society and a special form of fetishism. Show a special love for the opposite sex clothes, and have a strong desire to wear the opposite sex clothes repeatedly and put them into action. But in addition to wearing, the inner self-positioning cognition of easy-to-wear people generally follows the physiological gender and does not want to change the original gender. As a minority group, transvestite is rare in Chinese film and television dramas, but it has happened before. Wu Zhenyu once played a transvestite in the short film My Road directed by Xu Anhua.

In the mysterious fog of the octagonal pavilion, his wife discovered the secret of Ding's radiation lies.

Xing Minshan was only an outline when he received the script, and he knew nothing about transvestite. After doing some homework online, Xing Minshan turned to a friend who was a psychologist for help. "The doctor told me that there are many transvestites that are not easy to be noticed. Sometimes women dress like boys and are transvestites, but it is more acceptable for women to wear men's clothes, but it is even more strange for men to wear high heels and long hair. Therefore, the living space of male transvestites is more narrow and difficult. I also happened to ask each other what was going on, including personality disorder and depression. "

After talking to a psychiatrist, he turned out the movie The Danish Girl. "When I watch it again, I seem to have found the entrance of transvestite from this play. In fact, it is difficult for them to control themselves. As an actor, if you want to present and perform well and convince the audience to accept this role, you must first accept and understand their group. " The film gave him great confidence. "It turns out that playing with women can be so beautiful. I think I can have a try. The beauty mentioned here is not beauty in the literal sense, but beauty in the aesthetic sense. " Xing Minshan explained.

Being psychologically acceptable does not mean being able to perform well. When I went to make up my makeup, Xing Minshan was changing clothes and had curly hair to prepare the director Wang Xiaoshuai. As a result, after he came out, Wang Xiaoshuai bluntly said, "I was prepared psychologically, but I didn't expect to be scared." Xing Minshan analyzed, "I am too big. Actors who look a little thinner will have an advantage in acting, such as Eddie Redmayne (starring a Danish girl). My appearance makes the audience believe and accept, and I don't feel particularly disgusting. It's hard to sympathize with you and understand you. We must grasp the discretion. "

Later, in the performance section of the air-raid shelter, Xing Minshan pondered the details and small moves to achieve the credibility of the role. "For example, the way to comb your hair with a comb requires makeup removal and eyelashes. This needs to be pondered and observed by yourself, and it should be as detailed as possible, including the action of painting nail polish. Only when the details are grasped can the audience be more interested in this role. In addition, eyes can be the focus. When you look at Ding Radial as the head of the team, he has the spirit and style of a traditional Chinese opera actor. After wearing women's clothes, his eyes should be a little empty, and his eyes will be more feminine and more feminine. "

For Xing Minshan, skill and ability are not the problem, but the key is to pass the psychological barrier. "When I was filming in Shaoxing, I was actually under a lot of pressure. I told the staff in the group that if I follow such a scene on the road, or on the street or in public, I must cover it. As an ordinary person, it is really difficult to accept yourself like that. This is a rather shameful feeling. " But after many performances, the crew got used to it, so Xing Minshan walked around the set in a skirt and joked that "wearing a skirt is really cool".

Ding Fulie is not only a transvestite, but also mentally distorted by years of repression, and he even forgot that he had killed anyone. How to keep Colonel Ding's secret until the last two episodes?

After communicating with the doctor, Xing Minshan thought it was more appropriate for him to superimpose other mental diseases besides transvestite. "There are many little people living in his heart, which is actually the result of being suppressed. It's not that transvestites are accompanied by split personality. Complications of these diseases are not inevitable. The doctor told me that the leaves are different and the patients are different. " In the end, Xing Minshan found the exit of the character, which made Ding Radial have the problems of transvestite and split personality at the same time. His behavior can be based on convincing the audience that "the character must find this support".

I have to do a lot of homework, meet complete strangers, accept my own women's clothes, and ponder the behavior of mental patients ... It is easy for an actor to give up his role, but Xing Minshan finally accepted it for more important reasons.

In "The Fog of the Octagonal Pavilion", when the truth is about to come out, Ding Radial wears the ancient costume and sighs on the stage that "life and death follow people's wishes, no regrets". Director Ding's wife, played by wuyue, once sang the paragraph Soap Robe in the Peony Pavilion of Kunqu Opera on the roof. "It turned out to be colorful, as if all the wells had been broken ..." The murdered girl Zhen Xuan and her sister Zhu Xuan also studied in this Kunqu class.

Nineteen years of mystery and fog, "Peony Pavilion" runs through; For Xing Minshan, Kunqu Opera also runs through his life.

Driving down from his yard, you will soon pass by Yang Gongdi, and then go down, which is Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe. Xing Minshan looked up and indicated a direction, which was one of the most important places in his life.

Kunqu Opera is one of the oldest traditional dramas in China. It originated in Kunshan, Suzhou, China in the 4th century/KLOC-0, and was later improved by Wei Liangfu and others and spread to the whole country. Since the middle of Ming Dynasty, it has dominated China's drama for nearly 300 years. After the Ming dynasty, the Qing dynasty was in its heyday and did not begin to decline until the late Qing dynasty.

During the period of 1978, shortly after the end of the Cultural Revolution, the troupes of various courtyards in China resumed their establishment, and Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe was one of them. At that time, Xing Minshan 13 was young. Just because his parents like this business, he was admitted to Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe with his sister at home. "Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe was also restored at that time, and each session basically recruited 60 students. The exam is very difficult, one in a thousand, one in a thousand. I saw an audience say that the recruitment of Kunqu Opera Troupe in the play was very casual. In fact, it was a small town in the 1990s. Learning Kunqu Opera is not so difficult in Hangzhou, but it is more casual to recruit people. "

Since then, Xing Minshan has joined the Kunqu Opera Troupe, specializing in martial arts students and old students. His future parents-in-law are also among the enrollment teachers. My mother-in-law, Shen Shihua, is a non-genetic person of China Kunqu Opera. "This generation of Kunqu Opera is called' handed down from generation to generation'. After the founding of New China, a play just saved a play. My mother-in-law is a world generation, and I am a show generation. Now it has spread to the sixth generation. " Xing Minshan explained.

Xingmin Shanxi Zhuang

The suffering of actors in Chinese opera is hard for ordinary people to eat. Since he joined the League, he has practiced and sung every morning. His wife, Niu Xiaoqing, lived in the courtyard of Kunqu Opera Troupe since she was a child. She remembers that every day she was still sleeping and could hear the movement of practice outside. "Stick to the top (refers to handstand) for at least half an hour every day. If anyone can't give up halfway, the whole class will practice overtime with him. After coming down, some students will leave bloodshot spots on their faces and arms. " Xing Minshan felt that this half-hour was an exercise of willpower, and his memory was particularly profound. "Those hardships are the wealth of a lifetime. The hard work of filming now is nothing to me. "

1983, Xing Minshan graduated from the Department of Kunqu Opera, and was preparing to show his talents on the stage, but he happened to meet the low point of Kunqu Opera culture. "It happens that Hong Kong and Taiwan culture and foreign culture have impacted our cultural market. Disco, Teresa Teng and some Hong Kong and Taiwan songs are the most popular. After we finished learning, no one watched. Who will watch Kunqu opera at that time? It is not only the low period of Kunqu opera, but also the low period of the whole traditional culture. "

Xing Minshan 18 years old at this time. After studying Kunqu for five years, there is always a way out. Seeing the enrollment of Beijing Film Academy, he thought it was all performances. Why not give it a try? "Our operas pay attention to gongs and drums, full of energy and accurate rhythm." With his artistic skills in China traditional opera, he successfully entered Nortel and became classmates with Zhang Jiayi and Liu Yijun.

After all, it's all performing arts. "In fact, performance is interlinked. My graduation thesis is "On the performance in front of the camera", and the mode of camera performance and stage performance is the same. " In the third year of entering Nortel, Xing Minshan was chosen as the leading actor in Wu Sheng Tai Dou. "I know Wu Sheng, I am not suitable for choosing anyone at school." This is also his first actor's work. Then it became a natural success. Most of them are martial arts costume dramas. "At that time, I traveled through four plays at the same time. At that time, there was no agent, and I had to take care of everything myself. "

Because of the prevalence of martial arts films in Hong Kong at that time, Xing Minshan filmed many Hong Kong and Taiwan co-productions, and many people thought that he was a Hong Kong actor. In the martial arts drama, his martial arts experience is the best. For example, the studio often has martial arts instructors to teach tricks, and actors should remember to follow the movements several times. This is too familiar to Xing Minshan. After watching it for two or three times, he can catch up immediately, and the speed is very fast, so the actors who play opposite him are always under great pressure. He recalled that once an opponent actor performed a play, and the martial arts instructor showed them the movements twice. Xing Minshan remembered it, but the opponent actor could not remember it. He acted under pressure all day, and the next day he couldn't tell the director.

When learning drama, childlike innocence skills are very important, and they are often engraved in the bones, so Xing Minshan can still "spell" up to now. In his early years, he met Kong Sheng, the director of the film "The Bridled Hero" in Shan Ying. When filming nirvana in fire a few years ago, Kong Sheng invited Xing Minshan to play the villain Duan Tongzhou, and most of the scenes were fighting in the Woods.

Xing Minshan plays Duan Tongzhou.

A scene that often appears when shooting is that the crew colleagues and Diao Weiya's staff chase Xing Minshan and shout, "Teacher Xing, slow down, we can't keep up!" Xing Minshan and other soldiers fought from outside the Woods to the edge of the cliff. Finally, Kong Sheng, who was filming in Group B, was alarmed to watch. "Everyone came to see me fight. It was a pleasant fight." Later, Xing Minshan was named "the first hero of the grove" in "Nirvana in Fire".

"Opera actors are really bitter, and what they pay is not directly proportional to what they get." Xing Minshan recalled. In the low period when Xing Minshan was impacted by the culture of Hong Kong and Taiwan, in addition to the successful transformation, more colleagues were forced to change careers. Some are cooks, some are taxi drivers, and they have everything. Even if someone insists, after a long time, the income will not look good, not as good as the actors.

From the beginning of Nortel's business, Xing Minshan did not think that he had left the Kunqu opera business. His father-in-law and mother-in-law are both veteran figures in the field of traditional Chinese opera. He also lives in Hangzhou and keeps close contact with Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe. As long as there is a major performance and the troupe calls him back, he will come back voluntarily. He also goes on stage every year. "In fact, I have left the troupe for 30 years. Last year, on the 60th anniversary of the Troupe, I also performed the Tenth Five-Year Plan for the Aged, and I also performed at the Shanghai International Art Festival.

Last year, Yu Kuizhi, a Peking Opera performer, saw Xing Minshan's Sprinkling Water in front of the Horse and went backstage to find him. He didn't expect that after playing for so many years, his voice was still flat. Xing Minshan keeps his voice on the stage and sometimes goes to Shanghai Kunqu Opera Troupe to ask the teacher for advice. Last year, Ji Zhenhua, a teacher of Shanghai Kunqu Opera Troupe, went to Hangzhou to teach Kunqu Opera to the sixth generation who just graduated from Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe. Xing Minshan postponed filming to listen to old stories. He wants to sing a few more times, "while I still have a voice."

Time has passed, and now it is meaningless to assume that there is no career change. "In fact, as a bystander, it is also good to keep a suitable distance from the original Kunqu opera performance industry, and the distance produces beauty. If you don't take Kunqu opera performance as a means of making a living, on the contrary, your love for it is sincere and heartfelt. Singing Kunqu opera is really a wonderful process. " Xing Minshan admits that the income and resources brought by being an actor are indeed better than ordinary people, so he has the ability to "love" Kunqu opera, "invest the money earned from filming in my singing Kunqu opera, shoot movies and TV during busy farming hours, and sing Kunqu opera during slack farming hours."

Going around will still return to Kunqu Opera. Not only he, but also Xing Jinsha, Xing Minshan's sister, joined the Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe in the same year and switched to TVB in Hong Kong as a voice actor during the downturn of Kunqu Opera. She played Huang Rong (decoration), war and beauty, Hou () and Cai in the 1994 version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. In 2006, Xing Jinsha also returned to the Kunqu opera industry as a director.

Compared with the previous downturn, the domestic Kunqu opera industry has been greatly improved, and the pear garden industry has a long training period and a low rate of return. Speaking of which, Xing Minshan was moved. "Sometimes when I go back to the troupe, many seniors see me and say,' Minshan, you can come back to sing.' "

Wuyue and Xing Minshan are on the set.

Ding Radial is a girl singer in the play, which is a very important character background, but it is also a difficult problem for Xing Minshan. "Kunqu Opera is not only beautiful in words, but also beautiful in lyrics and literature, especially the masterpiece Peony Pavilion. I don't just want to sing my figure, the key is that you have to get good grades. " Although he has played many roles in film and television dramas in the past, he is either a martial artist, an old student of his own bank, or a simple one-sided scene. "I can finish the one-sided role in Beijing opera, because Beijing opera is basically based on singing, and the characters are not the main ones. However, Kunqu opera is singing and dancing. Almost every sentence, every chanting will have a corresponding character in it, and it is a very expressive character, so it is necessary to learn again. " With her mother-in-law, a non-genetic person, Shen Shihua, a "national treasure", Xing Minshan began to learn her mother-in-law's movements and singing three months before turning on her computer.

In addition to his study, wuyue and Milla, the little actor who plays Xuannianmei, also followed suit in this small yard. "wuyue has a fever. She is very serious, including using fans and pictures. She is also too perfectionist to do it easily. She said that if she wanted to do it, she would do one or two. For this reason, she also refused to visit her friends. In her words, these two months are' being an incredible person'. "

Xing Minshan's heart is full of Kunqu opera. "I actually hope that through our drama, more audiences can feel the atmosphere of Kunqu opera more accurately. Even if there is a aria or a character in the play, we will design and consider the content. "

Xing Minshan chose Song of Peony Pavilion, which runs through Ding's life. He sighed that Tang Xianzu's Peony Pavilion, like Ding's radial lying, was surrounded by a traditional environment. "Ding radial Li Jie and both issued an aesthetic concern. The Peony Pavilion, as a great drama, is great because it affirmed and carried forward the most authentic things of nature and people in such a depressing environment at that time, which is the core that it has been handed down. This is very similar to Ding's Radial Lying, and it is an aesthetic concern. Ding Fulie was also suppressed from childhood and longed for the release of his nature, so we use this drama for comparison. For Ding's radial lying, he has many redemption rights. For example, Yamei is the salvation of his childhood, and Kunqu opera is another kind of salvation. He found himself in the Kunqu Opera Peony Pavilion and was released. "

Stills of Fog in Octagonal Pavilion

Some viewers believe that Xing Minshan, who was born as a Kunqu Opera actor, allowed Ding Radial to be listed as a Kunqu Opera actor and was a transvestite and schizophrenic murderer. Will it make people misunderstand Kunqu opera and Kunqu opera actors? Xing Minshan disagreed. "When you say Xiong Dan, you will think of Cheng Dieyi and Farewell My Concubine. Cheng Dieyi has a great influence on everyone. Actually, Dan was before liberation. A master of traditional Chinese opera like Miss Mei is absolutely normal in private. The image of a very beautiful actress displayed on the stage has nothing to do with transvestite, and the formation of personality has nothing to do with Kunqu Opera. Moreover, after the founding of New China, Kunqu Opera in major universities will not recruit men, men disguised as men and women disguised as women; But Beijing opera is ok, and Beijing opera is a special case. Opera actors like to sing the role of Dan in private, which can only be used as a hobby. "

At the same time, Xing Minshan felt that the plot did not lead to "misunderstanding". "Is there a difference between people who hold this view and Ding Radial's parents? Is transvestite an ugly thing? I don't think so, so there is no misunderstanding at all. " After Ding Lei sang "Life and Death Field" on the stage before he was arrested, Xing Minshan sat on the suitcase and cried: "Now I want to cry again, crying for the life of Ding Lei." XingMinShan choked me and said.

Xing Minshan plays Ding Radial Lie.

He and Niu Xiaoqing also designed some paragraphs related to the passbook drama for the fog of the Eight Diagrams Pavilion. "Although this play is in the suspense theater, I think it needs something deeper." The audience who are not familiar with Kunqu opera may not notice that the lyrics of those Kunqu operas are not aimless, but the foreshadowing carefully designed by Xing Minshan is integrated into Kunqu opera lyrics, which not only has suspense, but also implies identity and is integrated into Kunqu opera. "They are all interesting, and these words are not used casually."

For example, in one scene, Zhu Xuan went to the costume room of Kunqu Opera Troupe to see the costumes. When she turned around, Ding radial called to her. Zhu Xuan was very nervous and left. Zhou Yamei asked, what are you talking about? Ding's answer is to use a play, which comes from a sentence in Tang Xianzu's "Purple Hairpin Phoenix Twenty-five Out Folding Willow Yangguan": Who will ruin the spring?

The play tells the story of the encounter between Li Yi, a gifted scholar and top student in high school, and Huo Xiaoyu, who is both talented and beautiful. They fell in love at first sight, and then got married with the purple hairpin that Xiaoyu mistakenly hung on the top of the plum tree as a token. After Li Yi offended Lu Taiwei who wanted to recruit him as his husband, he was sent to join the army outside Yumenguan, and Huo Xiaoyu sent him to Baling Bridge. When they left, they were tender and affectionate, and the pain of leaving was beyond words. Li Yi couldn't help asking, who did Fang Qing ruin the spring return for? What does it mean to ruin this beautiful spring and beautiful spring? Spring seems to be a sad parting season.

The young actors of Kunqu Opera Troupe in the play are not ordinary group performances. Xing Minshan borrowed them from Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe. "I brought all the sixth-generation Kunqu Opera actors of Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe to Shaoxing, and it was like this when I went there." Among them, these little actors only showed the flowers in the peony pavilion, a dream in the garden. In just a few shots, Xing Minshan felt that the beauty of Kunqu opera had been displayed. "The Passage of Flowers" is not a random choice, but the enlightenment of Kunqu Opera when Xing Minshan was a child. "I hope to put my childhood memories into it."

Xing Minshan and Niu Xiaoqing are not only responsible for the singing part of Kunqu opera, but also worry about everything related to Kunqu opera, from clothes to several flash notices of Kunqu opera troupe to subtitles related to opera in post-production. Xing Minshan and his wife strictly follow professional standards.

"Our plot spans from 1990 to 20 1 1 year, so what should the training room look like in the 1990s and now? The details are decisive. When our head took the children to film, he saw the notice and asked who wrote it. At first glance, it is professional. It was really written by the artist according to what I gave. We will also communicate with the children when they are dressed. In the 1990 s, there was a strap on the training suit, which was very iconic. I told the costume teacher that you should buy this one. It's right to have this strap. Including blue and white sweatpants worn in the 1990 s, are there any bars, and what are white sneakers? "

Towards evening, there was a chill in the yard. Xing Minshan took out a small stove for boiling water and put it at the table to keep warm. While pouring tea, he said, "We left for Beijing that day and locked the yard when we left. We are very happy and feel that we are going on holiday again. " Niu Xiaoqing "complained" and laughed out loud. Now she goes out to work with Xing Minshan but has a rest, because there are too many chores at home.

Although the yard near Lingyin Temple is not big, there are many things. We have to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard, trim and sweep the leaves, and do housework in the house in the back. Xing Minshan and his wife have never invited domestic workers, so they all get up early by themselves. They are busy in the yard. When they are finished, Xing Minshan writes, reads and drinks tea on the table in the yard.

A corner of the courtyard

I worked for a period of time a year, and left the rest to Kunqu Opera and this small courtyard. I lived in Xingmin Mountain for many years. In fact, according to Xing Minshan's early fame and acting skills, he should have a busier life now. However, in the list of his works, since Six Groups of Felony 4 was broadcast on 20 1 1, the frequency of acting dropped obviously. "Because I want to accompany my son." Xing Minshan naturally said the reason.

"A lot of things can be done slowly, but the growth of children will be lost. You know, a happy family can be cured for a lifetime. " Xing Minshan has a deep understanding of this. When he was growing up, his parents and sisters gave him a lot of love, so he felt that his personality could be so peaceful and indifferent.

Because her son Xing Yiqing is two or three years old, Xing Minshan always takes his wife and children with him when he goes out to film. When his son went to the United States to study, Xing Minshan and his wife began to take turns to accompany him. Usually, in the United States, mothers are the majority, but Xing Minshan doesn't think she can always work and film in China, and let her wife take this responsibility alone. "So the working frequency will be reduced."

Now that her son is in college, Xing Minshan has given herself more time and started taking more plays. This industry has been changing for decades, and it also has its own inadaptability, especially the scripts of dozens of episodes in the film and television base. The time has passed very well, and the team that was quickly assembled is different from the era when actors had the opportunity to concentrate on their creation. "Now it is a fast food culture, and the requirements for actors are not as good as when our college just graduated. I took a notebook, very serious. I will have a desk and a life. I want to play a role. Now, I can't wait to start acting. I don't even know my opponent. I've met many scenes that I don't understand each other and are not familiar with. Shooting is the highlight and will be greatly discounted. "

Calm and indifferent personality is a positive feedback in the family, but in the rapidly changing entertainment circle, reducing the frequency of work may mean a decrease in popularity. The less you play, the less jobs you get and the less jobs you have, which means the lower your marketability. This is not a virtuous circle. Xing Minshan is very open to this. On the one hand, he has been acting for decades from the pear garden to the film and television, and it is clear that some things can be done without hard work, especially the situation of many of his classmates in those years is very different. "The profession of actors is very passive, and there will definitely be peaks or bottlenecks. Young actors are depth charges as soon as they appear, but my classmate Zhang Jiayi is a late bloomer. Liu Yijun is also very good in the past two years, and everyone always gets points. "

On the other hand, he thinks it is because of his personality. When I was a child, I studied Kunqu opera in the troupe and had a good time. "If I go out to perform, I will go to the vegetable market to buy a chicken and come back to stew a chicken soup for my sister, so that I can arrange my life." When he is not filming now, he reads, writes, watches operas and cleans the yard at home. These are all things he likes to do. "Life is like this. It is a wonderful thing to enjoy life at home. If it is entirely for making money, I think it is a waste of life. " He must understand that he will not sacrifice his life for fame and fortune, as long as he plays the role he recognizes. As for the number of men he plays, he doesn't care that much.

"Life is like running water, you can follow it. What people care about now is really not that important to me. I won't feel lost because I haven't worked for a while. Whether it is the hero, the second person or the third person, it is not the main thing. The main thing is that you are doing what you like. If you value this profession, you want to keep doing it, or give up if you don't play. As long as you keep doing it, maybe one day you will meet a better opportunity and you can show yourself. "
