Peng Yuyan on ＂The First Incense＂： Seeing Self in Qiao Qiqiao

1905 movie network news　The film will be released nationwide on October 22. In the film, he plays the prodigal son Qiao Qiqiao, who lingers among different women and enjoys it. As the widely recognized "scum", Qiao Qiqiao is a pitiful person in Peng Yuyan’s understanding. "He grew up without the love of his parents and lacked identity, which slowly created the later results. When I took the background of Qiao Qiqiao to understand his behavior, everything became rationalized." Peng Yuyan said that the process of playing Qiao Qiqiao was also a process of self-examination. "In the process of interpreting this character, I found that there is an amazing connection between us. I can confidently feel that he is not a scum when I play Qiao Qiqiao, so this role is established. "

Hateful people also have pity, Peng Yuyan: See yourself in Qiao Qiqiao

As the thirteenth young master of the Qiao family, his father has a group of wives and concubines, and his mother is from Portugal, not a regular family and left early. His concubine and mixed-race status make him lack identity in various groups, and his lack of parental love also makes him sensitive and inferior since childhood. "What Qiao Qiqiao did was largely due to his childhood experience," Peng said. "He lacked fatherly love and subconsciously wanted to attract his father’s attention, so he did something out of the ordinary. Only then would his father pay attention to him and educate him. Only in this way could he feel that my father still has a son in his heart."

During the filming of "Incense of the First Furnace," Peng Yuyan formed a kind of contrast with Qiao Qiqiao, and he also had a different understanding of himself through Qiao Qiqiao’s life. "My childhood was a bit like Qiao Qiqiao. I was also a single parent and lacked the love of my father, but what was different about me was that my mother gave me a lot of love, and the love of my grandmother and sister, so I respected women from a young age. This is what makes me different from Qiao Qiqiao. His mother left him after giving birth, so he was an orphan to some extent. Qiao Qiqiao is reluctant to get married or afraid to make commitments because she has no parents to control her since childhood, and no relatives to take care of and love her. I sometimes have this idea because I grew up in this background." Peng Yuyan revealed that when he created the character, he found himself more and more like Qiao Qiqiao. "A part of Qiao Qiqiao lives in my heart, and I sympathize with this character. I can justifiably feel that he is not a scum when I play this role, so this character is established."

Based on respect for the original work, the actors collide on the spot to add luster

Regarding the comparison between the movie "The First Incense" and the original novel, Peng Yuyan admitted that his performance must be based on the novel and the script, but in addition to making sufficient preparations in advance, it is very important to communicate and interact with the actors on the scene. "What the other party gave me, I responded directly through the performance, not necessarily in the way set in advance. When the actor talks about the lines on the scene, he will find that the other party has such thoughts, which may be something we did not expect when we read the script before, so there is a chance to collide with very interesting sparks." Peng Yuyan said that the written and spoken words of the novel are different, especially the parts of the original novel that describe Qiao Qiqiao’s body and charm less. " I hope that the actors can surprise each other, so I will try different methods in the performance, and the character of Georgie Qiao has a lot of space to try different acting methods. We have a lot of long shots during the shooting, and each presentation can be different, which also allows the actors to have more space to perform. This is very interesting, and the communication between the actors is also very natural. "

Peng Yuyan revealed that in order to be closer to the people of the 1940s, he deliberately asked his elders, asked his mother, and of course spent more time chatting with directors to learn about the stories and people of that era. "Because we don’t have the experience of living in that era, all our performances are based on books, history or film and television works about that era, so our imitations are actually imitations created by others."
