He is on fire!

To be precise, the drama "Conquest" became popular, which made him popular.

In fact, when "Conquest" premiered on several TV stations such as Xi'an, Shenzhen, and Heilongjiang, it was not scheduled to be broadcast in prime time, and its impact was limited.

But at the beginning of March, Nanjing TV broadcast "Conquest", and it was "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" broadcast by Jiangsu TV that collided with "Conquest" at that time. On the first day of the broadcast of "Conquest", the ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were two points higher than that of "Conquest", and in the next two days, the ratings of "Conquest" were two points higher than that of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and this gap was still widening little by little, and finally the average ratings of "Conquest" won nearly three points of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

You must know that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a big production with an investment of more than 30 million, not only the gold medal producer Zhang Jizhong is responsible for the whole process, but also brings together Zhou Xun, Li Yapeng, Zhou Jie, Jiang Qinqin and other film and television stars.

And what is there in "Conquest"? The investment is only one-tenth of that of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"; the director is Gao Qunshu, who is "the one who shoots the documentary"; the biggest actor is only Jiang Shan, who is about to pass the air, and although the actor He Xin is the Golden Horse actor, how many people know him?

However, it is such an inconspicuous police film, but it has been applauded by countless audiences, undoubtedly because this drama is too real and very close to current social life.

He Xin intermittently watched "Conquest" in his last life, I don't know how many times. As the saying goes: insiders look at the doorway, laymen look at the liveliness. In the past, he just thought it was good-looking, and it was just a good look.

And when filming this film, he didn't think that Lao Gao's director level was very high, and even a little contemptuous in his heart, after all, compared with the directors he had worked with before, such as Wang Xiaoshuai, Guan Jinpeng, Dai Sijie, and even Ding Xiaohei, they are far more clever than Gao Qunshu in terms of aesthetic and technical level.

And when Qingdao TV also began to broadcast this drama, at first he just wanted to see if there was a gap between his performance in this drama and the performance of Yan Wang in his memory in his previous life, but looking at it, he suddenly found that when he was filming, Lao Gao often told him that this "Conquest" He wanted to tell a story of chasing, and after pursuing a narrative pleasure and boiling point in narration, he conquered the audience, and said that what he admired the most was the Coen brothers in the United States. It's really not just talking, it turns out that Lao Gao really did it.

Because he looked at it, he actually saw the flavor of American dramas! Many narrative techniques, including the use of cameras, have some meaning of American dramas, and they are consciously using symbolic shots.

You can't feel these things when you're shooting, and you can only see them after they've been edited. Otherwise, editing is a secondary creation, and the major Hollywood studios still retain the right to edit the last, and they also regard the Oscar for Best Editing as a small Best Picture award.

Judging from the narrative technique of Lao Gao's editing, it is really a bit awesome, and he first revealed the part of Liu Huaqiang's happiness and revenge and chivalrous courage to the audience. Then as the story progresses, it gradually makes up for the things between him and Li Li, and the things that absorb the degree, when the whole story is complete, when the story is nearing the end, the character of Liu Huaqiang is truly completed.

The key is that the character of Liu Huaqiang does not have the so-called sway to deceive the audience, or a sudden change, which will make the audience feel very abrupt. It's like you think the bad guy has reformed but he hasn't, you think the bad guy has forgiven the protagonist, but he doesn't, you think the bad guy is actually hiding behind the door, but he doesn't have such a similar technique.

It is a very original restoration of Liu Huaqiang's original appearance as a ruffian, he has always been like this, but the audience doesn't know his past.

The audience is preconceived, which explains why Liu Huaqiang, a villain, the audience doesn't hate him, this is also where King Yan became popular back then, and now it is He Xin's turn to take advantage, at least playing a villain who does not hate the audience.

At the same time, He Xin also carefully compared his performance with that of King Yan in his memory. In fact, I am very ashamed to say that at the beginning, he wanted to get rid of the shadow of King Yan when he was performing, and perform Liu Huaqiang like He Xin, but the inertia of memory is very strong, and unconsciously, there are still many places that subconsciously imitate King Yan's performance.

Maybe in some details, he handled it better than King Yan, but in terms of the powerful aura that erupted from the whole character, it was obviously still slightly lacking.

But fortunately, he has the benchmark of King Yan in his mind, and the audience does not have it in their hearts. For the first time, they saw on the screen that the original bad guy could still be like this, and even some of his lines in the play, such as "If you have a chance, you won't be useful!", "Is this melon ripe?", etc., also began to circulate among the audience.

It's like when the "Crazy Boy" series first became popular a few years ago, he became the mainland version of Zheng Yijian. And it is precisely because this story takes place in the mainland that "Brother Qiang" is more familiar and intimate to the audience than "Brother Haonan".

Therefore, the direct effect is that he is on fire.

The most obvious change is that no one knew him when he swaggered down the street before, but since "Conquest" was broadcast on Qingdao TV, you will find that people often stare at him, and some people will come forward to ask in a novel or timid way: "Are you Liu Huaqiang?"

At first, he would reply very politely: "I'm sorry, my name is He Xin, and I play Liu Huaqiang." ”

"Wow, it's really Liu Huaqiang! Brother Qiang, hello! Hello!"

“......”

Those excited viewers don't care what your name is He Xin at all, they only recognize you as Liu Huaqiang. Just like when Xu Guangtou played Zhu Bajie, as long as the audience recognized him, they would point at him and shout excitedly: "Zhu Bajie! Zhu Bajie! Everyone come and see, Zhu Bajie!"

So there were too many times, but he didn't bother to explain, and others called him: "Liu Huaqiang!"

He had no choice but to smile and nod to the other party: "Hey, I'm Liu Huaqiang." ”

Not only mainland audiences love to watch it, but the Hong Kong people in the crew also love to watch this TV series.

When "Conquest" first started to be broadcast on Qingdao TV, once he came to the set on a bicycle as usual. It was a sunny day, he happened to wear a pair of sunglasses, and because he played a monk before, he shaved his hair, which will just grow a little, similar to Liu Huaqiang's hairstyle in the TV series.

There happened to be a buddy at the scene, he parked his bicycle and said hello casually, but when the buddy raised his head and saw him, he subconsciously took a step back and blurted out: "Brother Qiang!"

Since then, he has been nicknamed "Brother Qiang" in the group!

Even Huang Yuetai joked with him: "Sure enough, those named Hua Qiang are all big brothers!

The funniest thing is the little daughter-in-law Xu Chunhua next door to Cheng Hao's house, because she sent fresh vegetables every three or five times, Cheng's mother was very upset, and she often made some tomato prawns, braised mackerel, sauce pig's trotters and other specialty dishes to send over.

Once the two of them quarreled with the door, and they actually left the door of their house open, and they could hear it clearly through the door. I heard Xu Chunhua yelling at her man angrily: "You are crossing! You are crossing! You are following me again, I will immediately call Brother Qiang next door to come out and clean you up, do you believe it or not?"

"Poof!"

He Xin, who was drinking soup, suddenly squirted out a mouthful of soup. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and tilted his head to the side, otherwise Cheng's mother might not be able to eat the table of dishes that Cheng's mother had worked so hard to make.

Of course, after it became popular, the most direct benefit was that there were more people looking for him to film, and the salary had risen, and Chang Jihong actually received seven or eight scripts at once. Fortunately, when he signed the contract, he had a word with Chang Jihong first, and he could only take over the play after he approved it.

Of course, the way to approve is to read the script, but he doesn't have the heart to read other scripts at the moment. Guan Jinpeng's "Painting Soul" has been started in Dongshan, Suzhou at this time, and because he was busy filming "The Landscape of Love", he didn't even study the character of Tian Shouxin well.

In short, he told Chang Jihong that he should not look for him before August.

But it still can't stop the magic power of their producers, and a buddy from Guangdong actually found his shooting site in Qingdao directly, and "snapped" a bank card in front of him.

"50,000 episodes, you don't need to sign a contract, as long as you agree to act, this card is yours, and the 500,000 deposit will be handed over to you...... There is no problem with the schedule, we can wait!"
