Starring Fan Wei was interviewed.
The film Chang ‘an Avenue, which is adapted from Haiyan’s novel Chang ‘an Thief and directed by Li Jun and co-starred by Fan Wei, Song Yang, Junyan Jiao and Chen Shu, will be released nationwide on November 15th. On November 5th, Fan Wei came to Chengdu to promote the film in advance. When interviewed face-to-face by Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star News, Fan Wei revealed the behind-the-scenes story of the film shooting. He bluntly said that he played a love rat that was not that simple this time.
Talking about Chengdu:
The questions raised by the audience in Chengdu are all of high quality.
Fan Wei is no stranger to Chengdu. He has brought new films to Chengdu roadshows many times. Fan Wei has made no secret of his love for Chengdu. "I like Chengdu, its history and its modernity. Chengdu is a city with a special heritage and culture, especially the audience in Chengdu knows movies. We run roadshows all over the country, and the questions raised by the audience in Chengdu are of high quality." Fan Wei revealed that in terms of Sichuan cuisine, he especially loves Zigong cuisine. "I look for Sichuan food in Beijing, and spicy rabbit dices are particularly delicious."
The film Chang ‘an Avenue is adapted from a real and important case that shocked the whole country. It tells the story that Zhao Hongyu (Junyan Jiao), a criminal policeman, went undercover with his partner Shao Kuancheng (Song Yang) in order to investigate the current wife Lin Baiyu (Chen Shu) of Wan Zhenggang (Fan Wei).
In the stills released before, Wan Zhenggang, a history professor played by Fan Wei, was dressed in elegance and smiling, and his academic identity was well decorated with antiques and bookshelves behind him. The sentence "I am a scholar, and money is not important to me" was very funny.
Talking about new films:
Wan Zhenggang’s character is particularly multifaceted.
Asked about the preparations for the new film this time, Fan Wei said, "In fact, there is not much preparation for historical knowledge, because the script is fully provided. Everyone knows this case, which was a very sensational case at that time. I also know that it is actually this character, and this degree of complexity is challenging for myself."
Fan Wei revealed that Wan Zhenggang, who he played this time, is multifaceted. "This character is particularly multifaceted. As an actor, even if it is a particularly bad character, you have to find logic to protect him. If you have this, you will find his shameless. I think Wan Zhenggang’s logic, at first, he and Lin Baiyu were in love, and then they became friends with each other. Later, the relationship between the two people may gradually deteriorate and use each other. "
Fan Wei said with a smile: "This kind of evaluation is a little simple, but it is not so simple as love rat. Now I have heard that audiences of different ages have different opinions on this character. Young people say that it is particularly unreasonable. People who have had life experiences in middle age will have some feelings and feel the complexity of human nature. "
Fan Wei revealed that he hadn’t seen the original "Chang An Thief" because it was his creative habit. "Not necessarily right, but it was my creative habit. After reading the original, it interfered with my characterization, because I was an actor in this movie, and I had to face this script. What impressed me the most was" No Problem ",including" The First Furnace Incense ".I didn’t dare to read Zhang Ailing’s novels, so I just watched movies.
Talking about the Spring Festival Evening:
Thank you very much for this experience.
In recent years, there have been many excellent films starring Fan Wei. Asked about his criteria for choosing a role, Fan Wei replied: "Just be rich and complete. Actors need works to help them. Sometimes it is said that actors play this character very flat. Maybe this character is written flat, which is not his acting skills. Therefore, choosing a good character and standing on the shoulders of giants shows that you are capable."
Fan Wei revealed that in fact, a good story is hard to meet. "Especially at my age, a good role is very difficult. I found that it is ok recently because the audience’s appreciation level has improved, and I dare to shoot intriguing scripts. For example, I love Zigong cuisine because there are more people who love Zigong cuisine."
This year’s "acting" variety shows have gathered together. When asked if he will participate in such programs in the future, Fan Wei replied: "I am also interested, and I especially like watching them, but I can’t let go of my own personality and do something that I can do."
In the interview, Fan Wei didn’t shy away from the topic of Spring Festival Gala either. He bluntly said: "The sketch can’t come for a while, and the pressure is too great. It’s been more than ten years since I attended the Spring Festival Gala in 2005, and it’s been 14 years since I last attended the Spring Festival Gala. I’m too unfamiliar with this stage. This is my own experience, very good, thank you very much for this experience. " (Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star Journalist Zhang Shihao Photojournalist Tao Wei)
