Before I met you, I had tossed and turned several times. Because of my work that day, I changed the meeting place twice. Jiang Peng was very patient and finally settled in a coffee shop in Sanlitun. Far away, I saw Jiang Peng coming with coffee beans. It was 4-year-old Teddy raised by Jiang Peng.

It's been two years since we last met, but he seems to have changed little except that he has lost weight. According to himself, he hasn't lost weight, which may be due to his active fitness in the past two years, and he has lost some weight visually.

Just finished filming the movie "Year of the Beast" with Huace. He said that this is the first character who has a strong contrast with his own personality and is very inferior and introverted. The Year of the Beast is a New Year film in 2020, which tells the story of a teenager from inferiority to gradually releasing his inner heart through lion dancing. It is a warm film suitable for the whole family to watch.

This performance is a complete coincidence for Jiang Peng. The day before the boot 10, he was ready to go to bed when he got a call from his agent, asking him to attend the boot ceremony the next morning. This is a coincidence, but it is also the result of hard work. In the casting stage, the director actually felt that another actor was more suitable for this role and said to Jiang Peng, "There is a chance to cooperate again." The day before the boot, due to an unexpected situation, I suddenly gave him the "opportunity".

I opened it at six o'clock the next morning. In Jiang Peng's original words, I didn't wake up at the boot ceremony. When I was putting on makeup, I read the script temporarily and recited my lines. Fortunately, the director is experienced, and he runs in quickly with the actors.

The first three days are the running-in period. After three days, I became familiar with the script and began to get familiar with it. In the circle of friends, directors often drive all night (from work to night), but this drama is the most "relaxing" one since Jiang Peng's debut. Repetition does not mean how high artistic morality is, or it may be that the director himself is very contradictory and the picture and story he wants are not clear. He tried many times just to find the most suitable one.

After the movie, Jiang Peng took a few days off. The next movie, playing the role of a policeman, is also the end of a part of his inner "police dream". Martial arts actors are indelible labels on him. Any film director who plays traditional Chinese opera or martial arts will think of him. Jiang Peng doesn't quite agree with this statement.

He thinks playing is a plus. Take the Year of the Beast as an example, the play is basically focused on the heroine, and the director is mainly making literary films, and he is better at scene scheduling and controlling the drama inside the characters. The original words are: "Being able to play is an added value, but it is not a necessary option. Being able to fight is icing on the cake, not giving help in time. " This, he is far more thorough than I thought.

Inevitably, when asked about the biggest impact of the industry downturn on actors, Jiang Peng said with a smile that the only time he started work in the first half of the year was a guest appearance. It is no longer the first two years, and the boot information is everywhere, and the whole industry is shrinking.

One word: difficult.

However, in his view, this is also the "cooling-off period" of the industry. The big wave of gold rush reshuffled, pushing some unprofessional companies and hot money out of the industry, leaving people who really want to settle down. When not making movies, Jiang Peng keeps an active life, regularly goes to the gym to exercise, keeps a teddy and a beautiful one, and learns to recharge himself by making movies in his spare time.

Although he graduated from the Department of Chinese Opera Performance, Jiang Peng, a national second-class athlete, initially dreamed of not learning acting and even working as a shopping guide for the airport duty-free shop when he first came to Beijing.

"It's easy to eat and live at the airport, give a lot of money and take two breaks. It's very attractive to me in my early twenties, but after doing it for a long time, I feel that it's not the case. I don't have to think or think about anything every day. It is numb. "

After quitting his job as an airport shopping guide, Jiang Peng returned to Qingdao and started import and export trade with friends. So far, I have nothing to do with actors. After I ended my trading company for some reasons, I returned to Beijing. At that time, in order to eat, I worked as a fitness instructor in the gym.

At this point, he has graduated from the sports school and worked for several years. At this time, his younger brother Z.TAO returned to China to set up his own studio, which became Jiang Peng's determination to choose actors. He returned to campus and chose the Central Academy of Drama to study. It was also his first real exposure to performance.

At first, he groped his way into this industry, working as a handyman in the audience sitting with the staff, and even working as a prop worker on the spot to move props. He has tasted all the hardships that the crew can eat. Finally signed a contract with a regular company and finalized the hero of the next play.

The company went bankrupt because of poor turnover.

Don't be afraid of difficulties, go all the way

In the actor industry, there is a saying that "Xiaohong depends on holding, and Dahong depends on life". Whether an actor is popular or not is a matter of drama. A play became popular and people became angry. Some people are still supporting roles after more than ten years of ups and downs, and some people are the protagonists in the first film. Jiang Peng doesn't think he is a lucky actor, but he is determined enough.

The first one is an actor's play, yellow.

The first part, Virgo, can show her face and talk, but it hasn't been released yet.

Until 20 16, I made a Chinese Odyssey and Phoenix Begging for Phoenix. For Jiang Peng, that's what an actor should look like.

It is reasonable to say that there should be some splash in three years, but he laughs at himself that "he has never been recognized in the street." At this point, I couldn't help asking, "Don't you panic? In the face of endless newcomers, the star-making debut in the annual draft is fire. Don't I envy it? "

Jiang Peng's answer is: "no, because I never thought about making love beans." From the beginning, I thought very clearly that I wanted to be an actor. " Actually, he's only been out for three years. Although he is not a newcomer, he is really not a Junior Idol.

Life is too fast now. Both the job itself and people want to get it quickly, successfully and quickly. People no longer praise hard work, and everything is result-oriented. For people who have been debuting for three years, it is not friendly. However, Jiang Peng has a free and easy style of ordinary Qingdao boys. He brushed his hair with his hand and said, "I don't care."

However, his indifference is not indifference. He thought about it soon after he debuted. After thinking about it, he still thinks why. In his own words, people always have to work when they are alive. Since they have to work, why not choose what they like to do? Acting is what he likes to do.

Why do you like it? Jiang Peng believes that no matter what we do, we are doing "ourselves", but only on the road of acting can you appreciate other people's lives, other people's lives, other people's joys and sorrows, which other industries cannot do. Not only can you support yourself, but you can also keep yourself energetic at work. Why not?

In the initial thinking of acting, there is no soul. It is probably an insurmountable hurdle for every new actor, and Jiang Peng is no exception. Reciting lines from the beginning is far from reaching the state of "performance".

But after polishing again and again, he began to really understand "acting." I didn't recite the lines, but I blended in with the characters, naturally said the lines, felt what the characters should look like with my heart, began to understand the camera language, gradually understood the scene scheduling in the director's mouth, and understood the fetters between the characters.

It is the biggest gain since he entered the business for three years, and another gain comes from the recognition of his parents. At first, his family was not very supportive of Jiang Peng's choice. Like all his parents, he was worried that his only son was wandering outside, but after several years of hard work and struggle, his parents gradually stopped questioning his choice.

Minimalist life is content with Changle

After work, I tease the cat and the dog.

Jiang Peng showed off his proud triceps in the gym all the year round. I have to say, it's really good

When I was young, I studied martial arts, played lion dance and played Sanda. I was a track and field athlete. He sounds like a rough young man, but his delicacy is reserved for mystery cases, yes, not mystery novels but mystery cases.

I wanted to ask him if he also liked a mystery novelist like Keigo Higashino, but he paused and said it again: "unsolved case". I like history and watching criminal investigation cases. I just remembered what he meant when he said he wanted to be a "criminal policeman".

The other half's exquisiteness belongs to literary films. As an actor, he has a dream, that is, to win a performance award in a literary film. This idea seems a bit out of place for the label "Martial Arts Boys". But he is very suitable for the one who likes Wong Kar-wai and Chongqing forest. It is his ultimate goal to list Chen Kun as the first "favorite artist" and hope that one day, like Chen Kun, he can appear in various literary films and show it to the audience in different images while taking care of his business.

But when asked whose life he missed most, he replied "Ma Yun". It also shocked me. Why do people who sound irrelevant and even the industry want to be him? Jiang Peng simply replied: "Because I haven't seen it yet."

There seems to be no problem with this answer. I added two more words "frankness" to his character.

I didn't expect such a person to gently walk "coffee beans" and tease his kitten. Even at home, he has a fish tank, fish and turtles, and he reads and writes without going out. He even studied fine arts and drew a picture of congratulations when the film "The Portrait of the Summer of the Nineteen" was released.

Such a state of life is wanton and full.

Finally, he asked himself what he wanted to do in ten years, and he replied firmly: "Actor". For artists interviewed in the past, more people will say that they want to be directors or try other directions, and Jiang Peng is the first person who never thought of blurting out that he wants to continue to be an actor.

No one can predict what he will do in ten years, but maybe we will all know an actor named Jiang Peng in ten years.

The last question I asked him was, why is his younger brother Z.TAO so angry but unwilling to let him be his guide on the road to becoming an actor? Is it really just an ordinary brotherhood, not so close?

Jiang Peng said, "I grew up with him and studied martial arts together. It's really close, but that's because we're too close. I don't want to rely on his light. If it succeeds, it will tie us together. If it doesn't succeed, it will hurt us. "

Jiang Peng doesn't want to be such a person, but I believe that time will pay off and he will find his own world.
