Special feature of 1905 film network One night before the official release, Bo Huang specially invited friends from Guan Hu, Xú Zhēng and other circles to attend a small-scale movie viewing. After the whole film was released, he took several leading actors into the cinema to meet with you.
As a junior, LAY followed his brothers at the end of the line. Besides bowing to say hello, he just stood silently listening for the rest of the time, with some hidden nervousness in his expression.
Chatting and chatting, Guan Hu suddenly skipped Bo Huang and said to LAY: "I thought you did a good job. It was great.”。 The "new actor" accepted this encouragement and affirmation gratefully and uneasily.
At that time, he probably couldn’t imagine what kind of evaluation his performance in The Island would get from the audience in the future.
Just over ten hours before coming to attend the movie, LAY had just finished his Solo performance at an internationally renowned music festival. Back in this familiar and good field, he became an absolutely confident and stable "music producer".
After six years of debut, I met more choices and had more identities, but LAY still firmly wanted to keep his original heart on the stage. “Music is my dream. I don’t want to do something I regret. If I can conquer the world with the stage, I am willing to be the one who conquers the world."He said.
"performer"
At the time when the The Island box office exceeded 1.3 billion, LAY wrote with emotion: "The role of Ma Xiaoxing is about to go offline, but LAY finally realized what a joy it is to be an actor."
The meaning represented by "becoming an actor" is far from being as simple as having appeared in several works. Before this cooperation with Bo Huang, LAY also acted in some movies and TV series. Not every role was recognized by the public, and even some of them were "unwilling to recall" himself.
I asked, why have you been reluctant to define yourself as an actor in past interviews? LAY’s correction is not "unwilling" but "no way": "How can you say you are an actor without a good enough representative work?"
Without the audience’s affirmation, he was just "a young idol with some popularity but no strength", so-called "actor", LAY bluntly said that he would rather be improper. “I want to be a strong person, for example, I make my own music, be a producer and my dance is recognized. But (in the past) calling me an actor, I dare not admit it."
For a long time, he was uneasy and confused with the label of "small fresh meat". Until this time, he was invited by Bo Huang to join The Island. LAY was still wondering whether his performance would affect the team or even the whole work.
In the end, just like Ma Xiaoxing in the movie, he put everything aside and got on the raft, and followed the director Bo Huang to the distant place full of unknowns.
There are many clips in the behind-the-scenes feature of the film, and LAY overcomes his psychological barrier little by little under the "abuse" of Bo Huang. For example, from "shame" to not touching raw fish, to finally tearing the fish apart and eating it in the camera,Bo Huang told him, because you are an actor, and this is the role..
LAY is very grateful to "Bo Ge" for his great trust and help. He thanked the director’s professor on various occasions more than once for making "Ma Xiaoxing" full and complicated.
The presentation of The Island’s role made LAY feel for the first time that the audience’s reaction to him "seems different from before".Indeed, in the early stage, most people were worried about this film, except for Bo Huang, who was the first director, and the other half was questioning LAY’s acting skills.
However, in the end, it was released as a film. "Many people said that I finished it and even heard some compliments." This made him feel the joy and harvest of the career as an actor for the first time.
In the role of Ma Xiaoxing, LAY scored 68 points for himself, and "passed".Although he still has a question mark in his mind about whether he can become an actor, he is very willing to be called actor LAY by the audience if everyone recognizes him.
“See you in the next role",this is an agreement between the actor LAY and himself, as well as all the audiences who recognize him.
"Musician"
At the beginning of the year, LAY participated in an idol-cultivating variety show as a mentor (accurately defined as the producer’s representative), accompanying and witnessing the whole process of a group of "Little Transparent" trainees growing up and finally making their debut.
In that program, LAY talked about many details and memories before he officially became an artist — —The physical and mental exhaustion caused by endless practice, the extreme pressure caused by hundreds of people’s constant PK and elimination, he said that these were once his daily life, and he knew exactly what it was like.
This year is the sixth year of LAY’s debut. Looking back now, the first time he made music, went on stage for the first time, made a movie for the first time or became an artist for the first time, the feeling of every moment is still fresh in his mind. "It seems like yesterday.”。
LAY told me that someone once asked him what color his life was as a trainee. “I really can’t answer, shouldn’t life be colorful? But I really can’t tell what color it was during that time. It seems that there is no color."He thought it might be gray, in addition to quietly trying to practice every day, there is no other option.
At the age of 24, LAY wrote a book, which was a detailed summary of his own stage. In this book entitled "Standing at 24", he wrote about the dreams he pursued as a child, the confusion in his adolescence, the anxiety of his trainee’s career and his thoughts after becoming an artist.
Now, LAY suddenly found himself after 90 at the age of 27 or 8. The growth of his debut for several years has helped him become a more mature artist, and he has more identities than idols, including the actors, dancers and musicians he values most.
We asked him to rank these identities according to his own standards. LAY did not give the answer directly: "If it is LAY who is 10 years younger, I will tell you, music, music, music."This passage, he said very firmly.
Although he grew up, he felt all kinds of fresh forces, and even he was "slowly getting old and unable to do his job", but LAY never wavered.original aspiration”。
His Weibo id has never been changed to his real name, but it is written as "Try hard and try hard again X".Hard work, humility, gratitude,These are the three most important and persistent points for LAY as an artist.
Some people questioned that he was too "pretentious". LAY didn’t deliberately refute or argue. He didn’t intend to put forward his hopes for the whole industry with such standards. He "only asked himself" for these three kinds of persistence.
"I have been working hard, but I don’t want to disappoint people who like me." LAY said, "Music is my dream. I don’t want to do anything that I regret. I hope to show my ultimate music and stage to all people. If I can conquer the world, I am willing to be the one who conquers the world."
