Pindao Bo Huang | Walking nonstop "Being an actor, I will never be satisfied"
"I am your father, can I harm you?"
"I do everything for your own good!"
Special feature of 1905 film network In the new film released this week, the father plays the role of forcing his son to practice the piano, and madly outputs "the unified quotations of national fathers", which instantly aroused strong resonance among netizens.
"This father represents the attitude of many traditional Chinese parents."This is the starting point of Bo Huang’s characterization, and he also hopes to start an intergenerational dialogue between father and son through this highly representative role.
As a brand-new work directed after "Tang Detective", Mozart in Outer Space has made a brand-new exploration from genre to style, and tells a comedy story about dreams, adventures and family with imaginative elements.
Through this work, Bo Huang also cooperated with other "comedians" to complete the comedy film’s re-starting.
As a rare all-round actor in the industry who can control both drama and comedy freely, Bo Huang admits that this "all-round" comes from the "dissatisfaction" in the actor’s heart. "When you are still dissatisfied, you will naturally look for another state."
Just like today, although the box office award is in hand, Bo Huang has not stopped "trying". "It is very important for creators to find new creative fulcrum and rekindle the fiery interest."

"Father and son grow together"
As early as in the period, Chen Sicheng invited Bo Huang to play, but regretted missing it. Until then, the two talents formally cooperated for the first time and jointly presented the comedy "A UFO fell from the sky".
Also around "whispers", this time "Mozart in Outer Space" seems to have a little more "private" meaning. Through the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in the play, Bo Huang and director Chen Sicheng are also trying to talk to their parents and their former selves.
Their fathers are both typical Chinese parents, and conflicts of views often break out during their growing up.Chen Sicheng recalled that his father had vehemently opposed his transformation to be a director.Love story in BeijingBo Huang also admitted that his father didn’t support his chosen acting path at first.
"My father’s expectations for me are different from those in the movies. It happened that I was a person who liked music and performance at that time. As a result, my father wanted me to study hard and go to college. He thought that was the right way. "
Bo Huang in the singer’s time
Bo Huang said that Ren Dawang is like another self in a parallel world. When he was young, he dreamed of becoming a rock singer and finally sold insurance for his livelihood."I have been keeping my head down, always not getting close to my dreams, and being crushed by reality. I am no stranger to that kind of life."
Perhaps the biggest difference is that in reality, Bo Huang finally chose to stick to his dream, thus extending a completely different life track.
From rebellion, resistance to mutual understanding, he also put decades of reflection on the relationship between father and son into the film. "I think what is really needed is that father and son grow up together." When can we think from each other’s perspective, this problem will be solved. "
"Young people are not called young people if they lose the courage to rush and rush … Young people, if they are content with the’ suitable’ road arranged by their parents, they can see the end of their eyes. The sky in the future is vast, and running is powerful. "
Specific to the play, Bo Huang’s "father" and "son" are respectively "strength comedian" Fan Wei and the 16-year-old.
Bo Huang recalled the last cooperation with Fan Wei, which dates back to 10 years ago. "It was unexpected to play a father and son again, but fortunately, it is always a pleasure to cooperate with a good actor."
Dinner is crazy.
After ten years of non-cooperation, the two still have a tacit understanding on the set, and they collided with a lot of laughter.What’s more special is that Fan Wei’s "Grandpa" suffers from Alzheimer’s Harmo’s disease, which also makes it easy for Bo Huang to empathize. "My family also has relatives with cognitive impairment, which is very substitutive."
Speaking of "son" Rong Zishan, his melancholy and precocious image in "Hidden Corner" left a deep impression on the audience. In "Mozart in Outer Space", Rong Zishan finally played the role of sunshine boy and tried comedy performance for the first time.
In the opposite play, the most unforgettable thing for Bo Huang is the long shot in which the conflict between father and son broke out to the climax, which requires both sides to constantly run in and mobilize their emotions. Unexpectedly, RongZiShan soon found the feeling, also let Bo Huang see the infinite potential.
"Zishan himself is a very spiritual child. He is very sensitive to performances. His judgments on characters and prescribed situations are very accurate."
"I will never be satisfied as an actor."
Bo Huang has always been good at shaping all kinds of little people, and this time Ren Dawang is no exception. Bo Huang also set out from life, adding a lot of vivid details to the role that are not in the script.
There is a scene in the behind-the-scenes tidbits: Bo Huang’s father deliberately gives his son pocket money in front of his ex-wife to save face.Before shooting, Bo Huang specifically asked for a paper towel, crumpled it and stuffed it into his trouser pocket. During the performance, he took out the napkin while paying for it.
This design not only has a great sense of life, but also shows the embarrassment of the little people, which surprised the director Chen Sicheng: "This thing is not in the script. I think these life-oriented details can only be given by a very capable actor."
In Bo Huang’s view, these improvisations and "details" are the duties of actors. "No matter how excellent the script is, you hope to make it better through your efforts and add some different and effective things. This is your own creative habit."
Regardless of the size of the role, comedy or drama, this "grounded" sense of life has always been pursued by Huang Bo.In previous interviews, he mentioned more than once that an actor needs the ability to constantly observe life and learn life in order to extract the most authentic state of life during his performance. This is also the secret of his ability to interpret all kinds of small people vividly.
Bo Huang is one of the few actors in the circle who can control both comedy and drama freely, and his masterpieces are quite abundant.
He is well-known to the audience for his acting in a series of comedies, and has won recognition from major awards for his superb acting skills in films such as Dear.
Crazy racing car
When it comes to how to combine comedy with drama, Bo Huang attributed it to the innate "dissatisfaction" of actors."When there are more comedies in the earliest, everyone will give you some labels to define, which is also your recognition. But if you are not satisfied, you will try something else. "
"Whether it is a comedian or other types of actors, the premise is that you have to be a good actor first. You should have the ability to perform different types of plays, "Bo Huang said." With these qualities, you can gallop in different types. (Conversely) with the desire to shape these roles, you will continue to cultivate your different abilities. "
forgive and forget
It is not difficult to see from Bo Huang’s resume that although he appeared in a large number of films, there were few self-repeating roles. He bluntly said that being an actor is most afraid of being "boring" and needs to constantly find new creative fulcrums to keep himself excited.
For example, playing Jiang Ziya in the movie and creating inspirational comedies with song and dance elements together are all brand-new attempts. "It is very important for creation to find new creative fulcrum and rekindle some enthusiasm."
Bo Huang in the trilogy of deities
There is an unforgettable line in Mozart in Outer Space: "Earthlings seldom look up".
In this summer file of great significance to the industry, filmmakers need the courage and romance to "look up at the stars" while burying their heads in the road.
Just as Bo Huang said to us at the end of the interview, "Here’s the difficulty. What we can do is to make the market warm up with good works and attract audiences back to the cinema with more different types of movies. We are still full of confidence! "
