"In the Name of the People" is so popular is beyond Lu Hai's expectations, who would have thought that an anti-corruption drama could be so popular?

But during this time, he was clearly happy, and his friends around him sent him WeChat one after another, and when he was free, he would also pay attention to Weibo to see what new emojis came out. At present, including the theme of reform and opening up, many drama scripts have begun to come to the door.

He flew to Treasure Island a few days ago, many people recognized him at the airport, and shouted the name of "Hou Ju" in a hurry, he was a little stunned, nearly 20 years after his debut, he can't remember the last time he was called the character's name, but this made him happy, because from a certain point of view, this is undoubtedly the recognition of his performance.

Lu Hai was also interviewed.

Penguin Entertainment: "Hou Liangping's original character was in his 50s, and there is an age gap between him and you, have you ever asked Director Xu Qian, what is the reason for your final decision?"

Lu Hai: "The director also said that the subject matter of this play is more sensitive, and the male lead must withstand censorship. In addition, I have played almost all positive characters in the past, including some heavy themes, and he finally decided on me based on many factors. ”

Penguin Entertainment: "In the Name of the People" is a large-scale anti-corruption drama, have you ever worried that it may not be broadcast in the future?

Lu Hai: "I had such concerns. After reading the script, I felt that the scale was quite large, but it was written very profoundly, and some officialdom things that are difficult to see in the usual news were written. There will be a little worry when it comes to reviewing. But I have also made anti-corruption dramas before, but in the end the director Xu Qian persuaded me, and he told me that this is a character that you will remember for the rest of your life, and finally I was persuaded by the director. ”

Penguin Entertainment: "According to the personality, Hou Liangping, the middle-aged director of the anti-corruption bureau, is ruffian and old, refined and righteous, how do you understand him?"

Lu Hai: "I have a lot of ideas about him, he is a completely positive character, if you want to perform brilliantly, you need the script to give him a lot of things, and you also need the actors to do a lot of design, but if the design is not good, it will add to it." I think he's a character who needs to have a mission and take on a positive role, and he can't have any dark side. ”

For example, the marriage and family of other people in the play are not happy, some are detached, some are for profit, and some pretend to be in love in front of others, only Hou Liangping's life is happy and harmonious, because as the male number one, his marriage cannot have any flaws, and there can be no problems with family feelings. ”

Penguin Entertainment: "Have you figured out a way to play a little deeper?"

Lu Hai smiled bitterly: "No, because I think Hou Liangping must be positive enough and not have the slightest moral flaw." ”

Penguin Entertainment: Do you regret that this character is not down-to-earth enough?

Lu Hai: "Actually, we have added a lot of life-like things to him, and I should say that I have no regrets." It's just that these details are put in the anti-corruption drama, and everyone will feel that they have little to do with the main line, and in this way, it will indeed affect everyone's view of this character. ”

Penguin Entertainment: "Is there also a concern that the life part is not well integrated with the main line in the choreography?"

Lu Hai: "It's not like that, it's just that everyone will think that this is an anti-corruption drama, which has little to do with anti-corruption, and the audience may not be comfortable with it." As an actor, when I entered the creation of this role, I could fully understand the intention of the director and screenwriter to write these life-like scenes, and I tried to do some reasonable treatment of each scene. Because any design must not only conform to the plot, but also make him down-to-earth so that the people can accept him. ”

Penguin Entertainment: "After the broadcast, Secretary Dakang's popularity may be higher, including Qi Tongwei also makes people feel sympathetic, but Hou Liangping's setting is too positive, but it is not flattering enough, how can you avoid making him face in performance?"

Lu Hai: "He is not from the perspective of ordinary people in the play, he needs to look at these corrupt officials from the height of the law, and he has to assume the function of judging." When talking to corrupt people, there are some very propagandistic words of positive values that must be spoken through Hou Liangping's mouth. ”

At the same time, when some villains are facing life and death, they will try their best to express their personal emotions, and the performance will be very outstanding, so it will be more difficult to create positive characters in comparison. ”

Penguin Entertainment: Playing the leading role is not as good as those vivid villains, do you feel helpless about this?

Lu Hai: "No. When creating the character, I hope to give Hou Liangping a growth process. Why did he change his setting from his 50s to 40s in the first draft? This in itself is in line with the trend of younger cadres at the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. And this character must not be like other officials in the play, that is, the surface is not shocked, and the inner design is not shocked, they use a very restrained and heavy way of acting. ”

"But Hou Liangping can't act in this way, he has a growth process, from Yanjing to Handong, he was just a petty official at first, he didn't have much experience in intrigue, and his words and deeds were relatively casual, without the appearance of an official. After arriving in Handong, after slowly coming into contact with the official teacher, he began to converge, until he was framed in the end. He is a political ecology that goes from not knowing to understanding. ”

Penguin Entertainment: "How do you reflect Hou Liangping's growth through performance?"

Lu Hai: "I will take the plot of Hou Liangping's case and arrest everyone and make some different performances." In fact, Hou Liangping is very thoughtful, and when handling the case, he did not arrest people directly after taking the evidence. For example, at the beginning of the article, Zhao Dehan was arrested, and he kept talking to him, and from time to time he clicked a few sentences, hoping that he could wake up and take the initiative to explain the problem. ”

"Hou Liangping is a prosecutor, he is selfless and humane. He laughed and scolded Zhao Dehan, he was very benevolent and righteous, and when he arrested him, he waited for his children to leave before he did it, but the other party was obsessed. ”

Including Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei behind him, he had a long conversation with the other party every time he arrested someone, and he was more of a admonition to the other party. I also hope that the character of the Anti-Corruption Bureau will not be thought to be a very cold law enforcement machine. He is selfless in enforcing the law, but at the same time he is benevolent. ”

Penguin Entertainment: "Just mentioned marriage, some netizens questioned that Hou Liangping often chatted with his wife about political issues at home, which is not enough to live, what do you think?"

Lu Hai: "At first, I didn't accept it a little, and when I read the script, I was worried that the audience would think that such a couple would say such things in life, whether it would be too blunt, in other words, some words seen in textbooks, do we say them as lines? Or, is it more convincing for provincial senior officials to say these things in a meeting?"

"Hou Liangping said such things in his life, I think it is normal for some viewers to be unacceptable, but this disacceptance is based on not understanding the profession of prosecutors. But after going to the procuratorate for two days to experience life, I understood. ”

"For example, a husband and wife who are both school teachers will talk about education when they go home, which is common, but the profession of prosecutor is too unfamiliar to everyone. It takes time for the audience to understand the profession of a prosecutor before they believe that they will say these things in their usual chat, so that they can accept it. ”

Penguin Entertainment: "Then why did you say these words through Hou Liangping?"

Lu Hai: "In a sense, Hou Liangping, as the positive male number one, needs to play a propaganda role. This is determined by his role positioning. ”

Everyone also hopes that he can be closer to the people's lives and more down-to-earth, so there is still some content in the play that shows his life, including going to cram school for his children, buying clothes for his wife, cooking for his subordinates, and introducing his boyfriend to Lu Yi. These dramas all highlight the life side of Hou Liangping, and I hope everyone can accept him after watching it. ”

Lu Hai was still very satisfied with the interview, and basically said everything he wanted to say.

Although it is also very popular now, Lu Hai is also very regretful in his heart, it stands to reason that Hou Liangping has the most roles in this role, and he is a well-deserved male number one, but he does not leave such a deep impression on others, not as good as Li Dakang, Gao Yuliang, Qi Tongwei and others.

Many people on the Internet questioned his acting skills, thinking that he was making up the numbers and being superfluous.

In fact, the role of Hou Liangping in "In the Name of the People" is a channeling role, driving the plot, and the others seem to have no effect.

Take a look at the comments from netizens:

"It's really not that I don't have a correct outlook, I don't know if it's the plot written by the screenwriter, or if Lu Hai's acting skills are like this, how can I call it embarrassing, I really want Qi Tongwei to shoot Hou Liangping with one shot, and then commit suicide, my mother is also this point of view, it's too fake. ”

"I feel that Lu Hai's lines are too fake, and he doesn't have a sense of hierarchy, he is talking big in a serious way, but Qi Tongwei's acting is tense and has a clear sense of hierarchy. If there is no comparison, there is no harm, if there is no comparison of Xu Qian's acting skills, I really can't see the difference in Lu Hai's acting skills. ”

"Originally, Lu Hai's acting skills were killed by Xu Qian!"

Originally, this singing drama was a drama of competing acting skills with each other, and in the end, justice defeated evil, but the acting skills of the two were too poor, and everyone who watched them was led by Qi Tongwei with crooked views. What's so interesting about such a scene, it just collapsed with one shot, what are you doing with so much talk. ”

"To be honest, there is nothing in the script to set up positive characters, the key is to play something that can really be played, and convince the audience that is really upright. ”

"Originally, yesterday's rival play, Lu Hai's tone was righteousness, justice defeated evil, Qi Tongwei was arrested, justice defeated evil after all, as a result, Lu Hai was serious, and he performed like reading lines, on the other hand, Qi Tongwei's performance made me crooked, I feel that Lu Hai is too ink, or a shot collapsed, saving film. ”

"Lu Hai's Hou Liangping is so disgusting, he always keeps mentioning Qi Tongwei's kneeling back then, mentioning it with his wife at home, interrogating Gao Xiaoqin, and publicly kneeling. ”

Lu Hai's face was full of "Lao Tzu is from the central government", as for the rest, I really don't see it. ”

"Hou Liangping and his wife are too impersonal, completely for the sake of being tall and tall, others forget it, to Gao and Qi, the two of them are different, they are brothers and sisters, they are teachers, although they later became enemies, but from the bottom of their hearts, how sad and sorry they will be, watching TV these two people are completely contemptuous or disdainful, there is no sadness, I really can't accept it. ”

"I don't think so, but after Qi Tongwei committed suicide by swallowing a gun, my husband asked, what did Lu Hai say to make people die?"

。。。。。。。。。

Lu Hai smiled, this session of netizens is so talented, they even said that the reason why Qi Tongwei committed suicide was because he couldn't stand Hou Liangping's persecution.

Although you were complained, Lu Hai was still very happy, because you were complained about, which means that the audience has noticed you, and no one is complaining about you, that is the real sadness.

He didn't think that a play he inadvertently received was likely to become a turning point in his career.

Thinking about this, he was full of gratitude to Xu Qian, this is really a magical director, who was able to make a niche anti-corruption drama into a super god drama with his own strength.

Xu Qian is also very happy, because the role of Qi Tongwei has been recognized by many people.

In the scene where Qi Tongwei committed suicide, many viewers abandoned the screenwriter's view of anti-corruption and the invincibility of evil, and were impressed by the acting skills of the director of the Provincial Public Security Department who staged a sad parting with his true love Gao Xiaoqin and did not bow to fate, in the words of netizens: "Qi Tongwei is so handsome that my three views are not correct!"

Unlike Gao Yuliang, who went from a university professor to a high-ranking official but was not confused by money, Qi Tongwei, a poor student who wants to work hard to change the fate of himself and his family, is a portrayal of ordinary people.

He once wanted to stay with his beloved, but he was played with by power because he refused the daughter of a high-ranking official, and he couldn't change the facts, he let go of his proud heart, proposed to a powerful woman who was 10 years older than him, and completed the transformation of his life with the help of his father-in-law's high position.

Qi Tongwei played chess with the world, and wanted to win the world, but he was blindfolded by power, and one person ascended to heaven with the power in his hands, and used the power in his hands to weave a network of interpersonal relationships.

He is greedy but humble and arrogant, and what he did in his short life is completely consistent with the background of human society, which is also the main reason why Qi Tongwei is embarrassed.

If Hou Liangping hadn't met Zhong Xiaoai, Chen Hai's father was not Chen Yanyan, and the background of the two was as miserable as Qi Tongwei, maybe they would have become people like Xiao Gangyu and Wang Wenge, either confused by money and power, or forced by life to do things as a last resort, in this comparison, Qi Tongwei, whose character is very three-dimensional and has no face, will win the sympathy of the audience.

How many people want to be Hou Liangping, but in the end it became Qi Tongwei, in this regard, many netizens were upset about Qi Tongwei, and ridiculed Hou Liangping for living to the end by relying on the screenwriter, and Qi Tongwei lived to 52 episodes all on his own, and he still had super self-esteem before he died, and Qi Tongwei was no more, everyone had to "look up at the Big Dipper, bow their heads and read Qi Lao Hall", and comforted Xu Qian, who had already stepped out of the role: "You look so good-looking, you are not allowed to be wronged again!"

Xu Qian knew that this was the charm of a good villain.

In fact, good people are not easy to shape, because bad people do a good deed and become Buddhas, and good people do a bad deed and immediately leave a stench for 10,000 years.

This is also why modern people like to overturn cases.

What is violent Qin is not violent, it is just slandered by later generations.

What Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is the first in the world.

I don't know Li Hongzhang when I'm young, and I know the real hall when I'm older.

What white-robed military god Chen Qingzhi is about to catch up with the soldier immortal Han Xin.

What Zhuge villager, but Er'er, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, kill him in a second.

What Yuan Shikai is a hero, the father of the country has become a cannon.

What Du Yuesheng is a real hero.

。。。。。。。。。

To sum up, I have read too much stall literature.

It's similar to creating a character, if you want to create a villain, then portray him to have an unhappy childhood, or some kind of injury, so as to grasp one side and make people ignore his whole.

It's the same thing for historical figures, you only need to find one side, hey, how much Li Hongzhang struggled when he signed a treaty to sell the country for glory, and he was shot, so his behavior is understandable.

But looking at the history books, you can find that this person is greedy and unscrupulous, the prime minister is fat and the world is thin, tens of millions of taels of silver after his death, and the family land is 2 million acres.

More than 30 contracts were signed to humiliate the country.

In order to crack down on political enemies, he did not hesitate to give up my country's important land, if it wasn't for Zuo Zongtang's stubbornness, maybe my country would have lost that piece of land forever.

The navy is certainly unbearable, but if it weren't for his blind operation, how could he have been defeated? Or so badly defeated?

He knew that his confidant Ding Ruchang was a landlubber who knew nothing about the navy, but still let him serve as the admiral, causing Ding, who was a layman to manage an insider, to lead the Beiyang Navy Division into a plate of scattered sand.

Therefore, even though the foreign teacher Xi Lang Weili was strict in governing the army and diligent in his work, even Ding Ruchang admitted: "Among the foreigners, Lang Zongcha is the first to be the most beneficial in the navy", just because the officers and soldiers were disgusted with Lang Weili's management style, and Lang himself and Li Hongzhang's personality were incompatible, Li Zhongtang connived at the officers to squeeze him out, allowing the Beiyang Navy Division to degenerate into a waste army of frolicking prostitutes and gambling.

His descendants relied on the money he left behind to develop well, and in the end, they could make movies and TV series to help him wash his name.

And Du Yuesheng is a hooligan leader, who has done too many bad things, but the bad guy only needs to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.

There is also Zhuge Liang, whether it is romance or official history, he is a perfect person through the ages, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others are not on the same level as him at all.

Strategists like Guo Jia and Jia Xu abound in the Three Kingdoms.

Strategists are not so godly, Zhang Liang is a strategist, but the war still depends on the soldier immortal Han Xin.

If Guo Jia is given 3,000 soldiers and horses, how should he set up camp, how to transport grain and grass, how to build the village, how to attack and retreat, and how to defend, he will not. He is just a theoretician, and when applied to practice, he needs to be transformed by generals.

Chen Shou, who wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", commented that Zhuge Liang's politics was greater than the military, but because his politics were too explosive.

Chen Shou commented: "The conspiracy is not long, but it is slightly short." ”

Many people take advantage of this to hack the villager.

They didn't know that in the Tang Dynasty, the founding military god Li Jing and Li Weigong overturned the case for the village husband.

Li Jing criticized the key points of Zhuge Liang's use of soldiers, "The soldiers want to be compiled, the orders are prohibited, the soldiers are strong, the spirit is sharp and strict, and the strength is full and strong, how can it be done quickly", and the combat effectiveness of his army can be compared with the tiger and wolf army under the command of the Qin army god Bai Qi.

Li Jing almost pointed his nose and scolded Chen Shou: "The historian rarely knows the soldiers, and he can't record the actual deeds", you are a person who writes history books, and you don't know what it means to fight! Chen Shou said that he was very aggrieved, I have already written very carefully, okay, "cover the destiny of heaven" and "cover the strain general", they are just a general speculation, Li Jing, you are a good man.

Li Shimin also overturned the case for the village husband.

This is the kind of person who can really fight.

If Li Shimin is not the emperor, he is also the god of the army.

Moreover, the village husbands of all dynasties are the ten philosophers of the martial temple, and the good fighters have no outstanding achievements, and the villagers rely on a small territory, and they are stunned to press Cao Wei and dare not attack.

The really powerful generals are not more than how many people they killed, otherwise Genghis Khan would have been the first general a long time ago, how can there be Han Xin and Li Jing.

The village husband is both civil and military, "Out of the Teacher's Table": Before leaving, he wrote some suggestions to the emperor, and then it was passed down through the ages, "The Book of Commandments": Before he died, he wrote a letter to his son, and then it was passed down through the ages. ""Indifferent and bright-minded, quiet and far-reaching" has been loved by calligraphers of all ages.

In addition to this, he also knew music, painting, calligraphy, invention, architecture, hydraulics, law, astronomy, weapons, agriculture, metallurgy, armor making, and so on.

Nima, who can compare with him?

Isn't Sima Yi just an old gangster, he almost didn't even do Cao Shuang, to be honest, it's because Cao Shuang is too vegetable, in fact, Cao Shuang doesn't have a chance to turn the tables, but he abandons his martial arts and is caught, this is mentally retarded!

Sima Yi's descendants are ashamed that their ancestors used such means to get the world.

In this way, there are still people who whitewash Sima Yi, he abandoned his wife, treacherously, fought the old master, and then led to chaos.

Sima Yan: Let me get this person to help myself, how can I have today's labor!

Sima Shao: Covered with a chopper bed, if it is as the public says, Jin Zuo will be long!

One heard how Zhuge Liang governed the country and turned into Zhuge Xiaofan's younger brother, and the other hid his face and lay on the bed after hearing how his ancestor ascended to the throne.

Since ancient times, Quanchen, Zhang Juzheng, Huo Guang and others have been scolded before and behind them, and the villagers are shining brightly both in front of and behind them, and they have been alone for thousands of years, until they encountered the reversal party after a thousand years, like what is short and tight, and they didn't read much, so they dared to analyze the villagers.

When the villager died, his family property was no more than 800 mulberry trees and 15 hectares of land, and he wore all the seals given by the imperial court, even if his son was self-sufficient, he had no extra property.

His sons and grandsons also died for the country.

Thousands of years later, we can still hear:

A teacher is a real name in the world, who can be compared for a thousand years.

The power covers three countries, and the name is high in eight formations.

The three divisions are planned, and the clouds are a feather in the sky.

Bow down and die.

He died before he left the school, which made the hero cry.

And Sima Yi and others have no one to incense him, oh, there is, modern people will overinterpret him, and even shoot TV series for him.

So the villain is like that, as long as he grasps one side, he had a difficult childhood, he suffered a lot, and in the end it seems understandable that he became bad.

The role of Qi Tongwei was a great success.

What people are more curious about is what kind of height "In the Name of the People" will reach, and what will be the final ratings of such a supernatural drama?
