Zhang Aijia felt an emotion with his heart, and Eddie Peng Yuyan challenged the role of insecurity.

Zhang Aijia has long hair in Tropical Past.

Zhang Aijia, who has always appeared with short hair in recent years, has long hair in The Tropical Past, but unlike previous works, Zhang Aijia plays Liang Ma as a lonely housewife. "Tropical Past" was released on June 12, and Zhang Aijia said that it is a movie worth watching more than twice: "Because there are many things in it, you feel as if you understand it, but you don’t seem to understand it, so you see this side for the first time and that side for the second time."

Actors should have inner emotions.

In Tropical Past, Eddie Peng Yuyan plays Wang Xueming, a worker who repairs air conditioners. He had an accident while driving. After that, he found Liang Ma in the name of repairing air conditioners, and slowly they got in touch. Zhang Aijia said that when he first saw the script, he felt a little ambiguous, strange and curious: "The weather in the movie was very hot, the whole atmosphere was very hot, and many things were changing, which made me feel particularly interesting, so when I met with director Xiao Wen, I was also full of curiosity about him."

In Zhang Aijia’s eyes, director Wen is very cute and patient. "One thing can linger with you for a long time. If he wants to achieve his goal, he will try his best to convince you. I think he is very concerned about many small details and will think of many ways to express the feeling of a scene. He is a very philosophical child. He thinks about one thing and will tell the story clearly. "

Zhang Aijia said that Liang Ma’s marriage is in a state of tasteless food and a pity to abandon it, and her relationship with her husband is becoming more and more rigid. So, suddenly faced with her husband’s disappearance, she didn’t know how to react. "In the past ten years, many of the roles I have played are older women, such as playing a mother. The role of Liang Ma is different. I think she is lonely inside, but there is a kind of heat. I still have less contact with such a role. "

Zhang Aijia’s acting skills in the film are still calm and sophisticated, and when it comes to the secret of performance, Zhang Aijia thinks that it is to feel the role. "An actor should not only bring an appearance, but also have inner emotions. Why I like some things directed by Xiao Wen, that is, his handling of some small details. For example, when Liang Ma’s glass silk stockings broke, the director asked me to hook my stockings. It is this little trick that you will feel this woman at some point. "

Don’t explain so much.

Zhang Aijia commented that "The Tropical Past" has spent a lot of time on art, photography and vision. "The whole play’s tone, emotion and mood all have his own style there. Maybe some people will say after reading it, it seems a little different from the suspense films and drama films we usually watch. I think this is also the director’s own style. Director Xiao Wen has his own film language, and his play is very attractive to watch from beginning to end. "

As a new director, Wen Shipei showed distinctive features in Tropical Past. With Elvis Presley’s Are You Lonely Tonight, the emotions in the film were looming. Zhang Aijia said with a smile: "You can’t explain the play directed by Wen, it is just an emotion and a feeling. I don’t think you should explain so much about his play. You will feel a certain emotion after watching it. "

Regarding the selection of "Are You Lonely Tonight" by Elvis Presley, Zhang Aijia thought it was a good choice, because each character was lonely: "Wang Xueming is a very lonely person. When you see a blind singer singing this song, in fact, these people are all missing a piece in their hearts at a certain moment, so it is very necessary to find some comfort."

Eddie Peng Yuyan lost 32 pounds as an air conditioner repairman.

Wang Xueming, in the film Tropical Past, which is being shown, is an air-conditioner repairer, who is always alone. In this tropical city, he seems to have no enthusiasm for everything. After hitting someone with a car and escaping, he fell into a self-reproach mood and started the self-destruction mode. It’s quite surprising that such a gloomy person is played by Eddie Peng Yuyan, a big boy in sunshine. No wonder Eddie Peng Yuyan said with a smile that he was also curious about why producer Ning Hao and director Wen Shipei thought he was suitable to play Wang Xueming.

The theme of the film is goodwill and redemption.

Eddie Peng Yuyan thanked Ning Hao for showing him the script of "Tropical Past", which he had never thought he would have the opportunity to contact this type of film and play such a role. "The first time I read the script, there were many different ideas when I read it for the second time and the third time. It seems that there are many possibilities. Who said it in this story? There are many perspectives, including Sister Zhang’s perspective of Liang Ma, Teacher Yan Hui’s perspective of police, and my perspective of Wang Xueming. Every character has secrets in his heart, and he wants others to see the good side and hide the dark side. From this perspective, this group of lonely people collide and life is different. "

Eddie Peng Yuyan was attracted by the complexity of the roles: "There are some roles that make me feel insecure. When I don’t know how to understand him, I will start to be interested. Because I have to jump out of a more comfortable frame, force myself to find a lot of information and take the time to understand this role. I don’t know if I can do it well. This is the most disturbing place. I never know if it will be what I imagined. I think every actor will encounter this kind of anxiety, but that’s why we like being actors. Actors are always looking for something special to appear. When they encounter it, they feel that they should try it and challenge it. "

Although "Tropical Past" is a crime theme, Eddie Peng Yuyan thinks that the film is very warm, and goodwill and redemption are the themes of the film. Wang Xueming once did something wrong and tried to escape, but finally decided to face it head-on. His mentality has changed, and he will become a person with sunshine and a future, and there will be no more pain of insomnia.

Try to maintain muscle mass while losing weight.

Director Wen Shipei praised Eddie Peng Yuyan as Wang Xueming when he was on the set, and everyone would forget that he was Eddie Peng Yuyan. As for how to show the feeling of a worker repairing air conditioners in the South in 1990s, Eddie Peng Yuyan made a lot of preparations, including losing 32 pounds and learning from his master to repair air conditioners.

Usually, after getting the script, Eddie Peng Yuyan will think about which parts of the role are similar to him and which parts are different from him, and then find out where the differences and similarities are, and then do his homework. "When I went to study with the air-conditioning master, I found that their lives were very lonely. Many of them were apprentices. When the master gave him a job, he took it. Lonely people have the same characteristics. They don’t care much about what the other person has done. They just need instant warmth. Every character in this movie makes me feel very real. "

At the premiere, someone asked Eddie Peng Yuyan, how much air conditioning does a room of 30 square meters need? Eddie Peng Yuyan has been very professional. He asked very seriously: "Is 30 Ping a single-family house or an apartment?" After learning that it was a single-family building, Eddie Peng Yuyan replied: "Now it is necessary to install central air conditioning, with internal and external machines. I suggest installing one 30 years ago, with two or three horsepower. Now we all talk about saving electricity and electricity. "

"But the role of Tropical Past is different from the past, so I thought how it could be more like that role. A friend of mine’s father repairs air conditioning, so I went to get along with him and found that they actually do very hard work and are very thin. So, I thought, should I be thinner, too? " So, Eddie Peng Yuyan spent a long time to lose weight and fat. "I try to play in a dehydrated state. After filming Tropical Past, I have to shoot The Rescue, but I can’t lose too much muscle. So it’s more painful. I have to maintain the amount of muscle, and then I have to try to be thinner. "

Literary bomb

"Tropical Past" is like an oven to bake human nature into shape.

In "Tropical Past", there are many dripping sweat scenes, such as sweat on cheeks, sweat on neck and sweat on hands. The steaming hot steam seems to drop on the audience in the air-conditioned cinema at any time, and the audience follows the protagonist into a groggy life under such fumigation.

This is the first work of a young director, Wen Shipei. He firmly grasps the rhythm. There are small twists in the big structure, which are closely intertwined with each other. The story and characters are fully integrated, which makes the audience feel the complex emotions of fear, depression, confusion, self-destruction, warmth and redemption.

Eddie Peng Yuyan, who lost 32 pounds for filming, really changed her face, giving people a sense of strangeness. In his previous works, he was confident in the sunshine, but in Tropical Past, he was a master who repaired air conditioners in Guangzhou in the 1990s. He was a depressed and bony young man. In this tropical city, he was like a water-deficient plant, wilting, with a kind of self-abandonment, as if he wanted to pull himself out of the soil at any time.

Encountered an extremely accidental event, Wang Xueming, played by Eddie Peng Yuyan, drove into another road, and his life took the wrong track and started a series of mistakes: hit-and-run and traces of destruction. In this process, he saw his cowardice and fear. Even if the accident had nothing to do with himself, he could not forgive himself. He was scared by his own "evil" and was baked by his conscience. At night, he will rush into the street to join an inexplicable group fight, with his head broken and scarred, which is his whipping for himself.

When the conscience is lost, people fall into a hot and dry state, and their hearts are scorched by various thoughts. The Tropical Past is like an oven, which bakes the shape of human nature and makes the unpredictable situation and people’s psychological context clearly present, until Wang Xueming is forced by self-torture, and brings his own liberation with a near-destructive melee.

In contrast to Eddie Peng Yuyan’s self-burning, the director’s narrative is calm, which is a bit numb and indifferent to Mrs. Liang played by Zhang Aijia. Mrs. Liang and Wang Xueming have the same battered life. She doesn’t hate Eddie Peng Yuyan, but is in the same boat. Wang Xueming is a little light and cool in Mrs. Liang’s life, just like the day when Wang Xueming was released from prison, Mrs. Liang came back with brisk steps to buy food, and the green color in her food pocket showed. She knew that Wang Xueming was not a bad person, but a hope.
