Interview with Huang Lei： It is expected to shoot the favorite mushroom house family in Trouble Family 2.

　

Special feature of 1905 film network It was already eight o’clock in the evening when I met Mr. Huang Lei. He repeatedly said he was sorry, and kept wiping the sweat on his face and body. At that time, he had just finished the recording of CCTV6 "Today’s Film Review". He talked with the host Miao Yao for an hour and a half in the original eight-minute program. The studio can’t turn on the air conditioner in order to receive the radio. The high wattage spotlights and airtight rooms have harmed Mr. Huang, who is now broad-minded and fat, and his black T-shirt is soaked with sweat.

　

A friend who met Jing Tian once described her as "stunned", which I couldn’t fully understand before. Now I can feel something when I see Miss Huang. He wears ordinary clothes, combs ordinary hair styles, has no makeup, and is not as delicate and elegant as he was then, but he still can’t help sighing that he was definitely born to be an actor.

Teacher Huang, who gradually recovered, asked about the arrangement behind. After us, there was Lan Yu, the host of China Film Report, waiting to interview him to record Lan Yu Reception Room. Miss Huang, who has been too busy to drop water, suddenly muttered in a low voice: "I won’t see much when I go home tonight!" " In a flash, he regained his vitality and met our various requirements, as if that sentence was just my illusion.

Trouble family— — The old director’s new debut

　

The Troubled Family, released on May 11th, is defined as Huang Lei’s "director’s old debut". In fact, he started directing TV dramas as early as 14 years ago, when he wrote, directed and acted, "Time flies", "Days are full of water" and "Singing at midnight" had good ratings and reputation. So The Troubled Family should be his film director’s debut.

Why did you re-direct the tube after 12 years? Teacher Huang concluded that there were external and internal causes: "The external cause was that I was working on a drama festival in Wuzhen at that time, and suddenly a friend came to Wuzhen to ask me if I was interested in directing this film. I watched the film and found it interesting. The internal cause may be just right, because at the present age, I suddenly feel that I can shoot this movie, I can express it, and I will shoot it. "

　

With the support of director Yamada, it is expected to make Troubled Family 2.

　

Recently, the Korean Wave has faded in China, and there has been a big gap in the film and television market. Many film and television companies have turned their attention to Japanese IP. However, many remakes have been restricted by Japan’s complicated and complicated copyright terms. For example, when Alec Su recently remaked The Dedication of Suspect X, there were many obstacles in copyright and script.

Teacher Huang recalled that the process of his remake was quite smooth. He thought that Japanese writers were very serious and needed to confirm their scripts before shooting, so he had to fly to Japan with the screenwriter to do the script work. But, after all, Yoji Yamada’s "Family Suffering" is relatively small, few people know it, and its influence is not as extensive as that of "Suspect", so there is no problem in copyright. Shooting started in November last year and took a month. The whole process went smoothly. Although the release time was changed once, it was because it was not finished in the later period.

And in the process of remake, he also got the support of director Yamada. In December last year, "Trouble Family" held a press conference, and the 86-year-old director Yamada personally came to the scene to congratulate. Last month, Yamada’s "Family Bitterness 2" was shown to the audience in Beijing International Film Festival. Teacher Huang said, "Director Yamada is also quick, and he has already finished the second film. He also asked me that day if I wanted to shoot the second film. I said yes. I will shoot the first film first, so that everyone can check it out. If I feel good, I will shoot the second film. "

　

To show the sense of alienation of China’s family, the actor first looked for acquaintances.

　

Unlike Japanese films, mainland films do not have the tradition of family ethics films like Yasujirō Ozu, Yoji Yamada and Hirokazu Koreeda, and the genre of light comedies is even rarer. For this seemingly unpleasant theme, Teacher Huang thinks: "The Troubled Family is actually not a family theme, but a light comedy with a family as the starting point, or it can be called a tragicomedy. This type is rarely filmed in China now.In recent years, the domestic film market, in fact, is not called making movies, it should be called making large films, and there are relatively few small films. Moreover, most of them are crazy comedies that shoot hilarious jokes, with special emphasis on exaggeration and stylization, and few people use realistic means of expression."

The original "Family Suffering" has a very strong Japanese flavor, such as male chauvinism, full-time housewives and so on. How to achieve localization in the process of adaptation, Mr. Huang responded: "In fact, in China’s family, like our parents’ generation, there are generally dual employees, no housewives, and there is no such thing as male chauvinism. Therefore, what we emphasize in this movie is not the theme of male chauvinism and the awakening of housewives.What we want to express is the sense of strangeness and alienation in Chinese families and the gap and distance between people in Chinese families caused by the inability to express."

Regarding the selection of actors, Mr. Huang said: "Our remake is based on the frame of the story, some character relationships and a main event, so the appearance of each character has changed. The most important thing for me to choose actors is to be suitable. First of all, I think these actors are very good at acting. They are all acting directors, such as Li Liqun, a great old artist and a veteran. Another is that these actors are good at comedy performances, so there will be some different effects. Another is that I know them well, and I also look for acquaintances first.

　

Wen Qing can also be grounded, andSun Li"Unrequited love" together until the age of 60

　

On the surface, Huang Lei is now active in TV series and various reality shows, which seems to be a far cry from the image of Wen Qing created in April on Earth, but in fact, the Wen Qing spirit in his bones has never been broken, otherwise he would not have been brewing for five years and running for three years to establish Wuzhen Drama Festival, nor would he have performed a "Peach Blossom Garden in Secret Love" for 11 years.

Wuzhen Drama Festival

　

For Wuzhen, Mr. Huang said that he has had feelings for more than ten years. "I have many friends in Wuzhen, and I like that place very much, and Wuzhen has helped me realize many dreams, so my feelings are quite deep."

　

In 2006, the drama "Peach Blossom Garden" directed by Taiwan Province Lai Shengchuan landed in the mainland, and then Huang Lei, his wife Sun Li, He Jiong and Nana performed the play for 11 years. What made him persist for so long? Teacher Huang thinks: "The stage play has a long front, and a play can’t be performed well if it can’t be performed for a certain number of times. I have acted in the drama version of Four Generations under One roof before, but even the secret love lasted the longest, and I didn’t have the energy to take on other stage plays. "Secret Love" has been performed for 11 years, with nearly 500 performances. We want to perform 1000 performances.My wife and I have been on the stage for more than ten years, and we are very adapted to each other. We may continue to play like this until we are 50 or 60 years old."

From the literary idol in the period of "Walking and Singing" and "April Day on Earth" when I first debuted, to the chef "Huang Kitchen" who has been grounded in recent years, why have people changed so much? Teacher Huang said: "This is all me, and it is all the real me. Only when I was young, there was no such thing as self-media, and the public mainly contacted us through works. Moreover, at that time, not only my works, but also the works of the whole era were more literary, so the impression you got might be more literary. Where did today’s "Yellow Kitchen" come from? Actually, I sent it to Weibo myself. I can’t write a poem when you say Weibo. I’ll send more meat in a pot. Maybe if I send too much meat in a pot, everyone will think you are grounded. Then you say …Is there more than one poem in life or more meat in a pot? I think there is more meat in a pot.. "

　

Life I yearn for has a second season, which is my favorite.mushroomWu family

　

In "The Life I yearn for", how did the "yellow kitchen" that can make cold noodles, cakes and even jump over the wall by itself come into being? Teacher Huang said: "I have never studied cooking specially, but I love food. I may be talented in cooking, because my father and mother cook well, too." Moreover, my hands-on ability is very strong, and I belong to the kind of hand that is very clever. I can cook, sew and repair electrical appliances. "

Reality show "The Life I yearn for"

　

Not long ago, the reality show "The Life I yearn for" was loved by many viewers, and Mr. Huang also promised that there would definitely be a second season. After participating in several reality shows, compare the partners who have cooperated in these programs — — The mushroom family, the extreme men’s gang, the father’s gang and the yellow combination are more important. Teacher Huang said: "In fact, we are a group of good friends in life, and we don’t divide which dial because of the program. Contact more familiar is the yearning for life, because He Laoshi and I have been good friends for many years. Another is Extreme Challenge. The six of us have been recording together for three seasons. Because of the long working hours, we have become good friends in life, and WeChat will keep in touch frequently. But "Where’s Dad Going?" We don’t have that much personal contact. I will have more contact with Yang Wei. If I go to work in Wuhan, we will all meet. Contact Lu Yi and Cao Ge on WeChat occasionally. Brother Wu Zhenyu, we have very little contact now. I think it’s actually that in the program, everyone has contact together, but then gradually there is less contact. Haiquan and I were buddies in life, but it wasn’t a program, that’s all. "
