Who is Hu Ge and what did he do first?

The following is summarized by Qingfei from Gu Yue’s forum

Hu Ge-----an ordinary but extraordinary Shanghai boy

< p>Hu Ge was born in Shanghai. When he was young, he was introverted and didn't like to talk. When he was 6 years old, in order to strengthen his courage, his parents decided to send him to participate in the recruitment of the then famous "Shanghai Little Silver Star Art Troupe". Hu Ge still remembers that when he took part in the three rounds of the preliminary examination, the re-examination and the final selection, he cried every time. Compared with other children who were good at singing and dancing, he was very timid. However, Hu Ge's What the parents didn't expect was that the discerning selection teacher "exceptionally admitted" Hu Ge from 30,000 children. At that time, the art troupe only recruited 60 children.

When I first joined the art troupe, in the Hu Ge, who seemed very lucky to others, did not have a happy life. No matter what practice he did, he always hid until the end. However, after staying in the lively atmosphere of the art troupe for a long time, Hu Ge's original introverted personality became cheerful. Get up. In the first grade of elementary school, I filmed the MV for the ending song of the Zhengda variety show "Devotion of Love" and went to the art troupe to select children. At that time, Hu Ge had long, white, fat and very cute faces, so he had the standard flower-like appearance of the motherland in the MV. little boy.

After entering junior high school, the knowledge he learned in the art troupe also came in handy. At that time, the Shanghai Education TV Station "Sunshine Boys" blocked the recruitment of middle school student hosts from the society, and Hu Ge was on the list; Oriental Radio and Shanghai Radio, Hu Ge serves as the host and reporter of multiple columns. He showed his star temperament at a young age. Now some netizens in Shanghai can still recall his elfin hosting style at that time (sweat) ~~)

In middle school, he went to Shanghai Key Middle School City No. 2. During his schooling, he served as the school's director of literature and art, class secretary, and director of the school radio station. (I’m not bragging about all this. If you go to Shi Er’s gymnastics room now, you can still see his introduction on the celebrity list) Two days ago, he heard the Gu Yue album we produced and said with emotion that it reminded him of that At noon every day after lunch, he would go to the school radio room to do a program, share some articles he had written with everyone, and play some good songs.

However, in addition to serving as the host of many large-scale cultural evenings in schools at that time, he preferred to engage in organizational planning and other work behind the scenes. (PS: This was mentioned in the recent broadcast of "Oriental Newcomers") His senior sister Beibei, who often worked with him as a host at school (now also serves as a host at Shanghai TV), said that although he was He has frequent broadcasting, hosting, and advertising work, but it did not let him put down his studies. His academic performance has always been among the top five in the class, and he can always arrange his studies and work just right (sweat~~ Isn’t it a pity that such a person becomes an actor?)

A long interview with him was published in a girls' magazine at that time, and the title was: Please don't call me handsome! In the second year of junior high school, Hu Ge had his first advertising experience. Although it was just a print advertisement published in a newspaper, it planted the dream of becoming an advertising planner in Hu Ge's heart. Until the college entrance examination was approaching, Hu Ge asked a familiar friend who worked in advertising to ask what major in college could help him realize his dream. His friends persuaded him to apply for the Directing Department of the Academy of Drama. So, Hu Ge filled out the application form for Television Arts of the Central Academy of Drama. Majoring in film and television directing.

Not long after the college entrance examination, Hu Ge received an admission notice from China Drama. The words "Second place in the country in liberal arts examination" on the notice were particularly dazzling. But Hu Ge While he was planning to go to the Chinese Opera, his parents told him that the acting department of Shanghai Theater Academy was recruiting students and hoped that he would try it. With the admission notice from the Chinese Theater at the bottom, Hu Ge stood at the Chinese Theater with the mentality of "taking the exam and having fun". In the examination room of the acting department, he was chosen for the drama again (alas, I have to say that being handsome is of some use^_^).

Be a director or an actor? Of course, Hu Ge, who wanted to be an advertising director, continued to pack his bags for Beijing. One day, Hu Ge received a call from the party branch secretary of the Shanghai Theater Performance Department, saying that he wanted to meet in person. As soon as they saw him, they had a heart-to-heart talk in the secretary's office. The secretary was wondering how many young people wanted to go to the theater, but Hu Ge wanted to give up. The honest Hu Ge told the secretary all his reasons. He expressed understanding, but he suggested to Hu Ge that there are many excellent directors who started out as actors, such as Jiang Wen, Huang Lei, etc. Directors with experience as actors will better understand the needs of actors. (Jiang Wen is also his idol. Jiang is still old and hot, and Hu Ge’s desire to go to Beijing was shaken by a few words. In addition, his mother was in poor health and hoped that he could stay in Shanghai and develop, so he finally chose to go to the theater. .

"I'm Crazy About Singing" when I was a freshman

In fact, Hu Ge, who was still a middle school student, became attached to "I'm Crazy About Singing" when it was in the preliminary production stage of animation. . The producer used Hu Ge as a prototype and asked everyone to design the positioning of Chu Tiange according to his image at that time. When "I'm Crazy About Singing" was to be re-filmed in 2001, the crew first thought of Hu Ge. Hu Ge and another of his classmates rehearsed for a while, and the crew were quite satisfied. But later, because they were just freshmen at the time, the Shanghai Theater Academy refused to let them go, so in the end they had to play the B role.

Signed a contract during college

When he came to Shanghai Theater Academy, Hu Ge had a very small impression of the school. It is probably the smallest university in Shanghai. However, after integrating into the classmates Afterwards, Hu Ge could feel a kind of passion, a kind of creative passion unique to art school students

During the summer vacation of his sophomore year, Hu Ge received his first TV series---- "Dandelion".

"Dandelion" is a modern play. He was 20 years old at the time and had just finished reading it in his sophomore year. Originally, the crew assigned him a role that was closer to his true nature as a college student, but later he stepped in and took on the role of Cheng Hao, the lead male lead. This role was very difficult, spanning youth and middle age, with a lot of kissing scenes and some passionate scenes, and she even had a 6-year-old daughter later on. There is so much content, but the script does not give much space for the characters to develop. Many contents are only mentioned in one stroke, and there are not many plots that fully express and interpret the characteristics of the characters. It was his first performance. After the performance, he was very dissatisfied with himself. He once criticized himself in an interview and said that he did not think thoroughly about the character at the time and was not sure of his psychological maturity. But many people who have watched Dandelion like the character Cheng Hao, but have difficulty connecting him with Li Xiaoyao. This is success in itself! His acting skills are multi-faceted. Although it cannot be said to be perfect, his performance is not rigid, does not follow routines, and is full of spirituality. (PS: This is the reason why I admire him very much now.)

As the saying goes, every loss must be rewarded. When Hu Ge lacked self-confidence, he met Bole. One day, Hu Ge and his friends were drinking coffee in a coffee shop. A man at the next table came up to him. After introducing himself, he asked Hu Ge for some information and his phone number. Unexpectedly, a month later, Hu Ge This man brought the director of the company's brokerage department to Shanghai, signed a brokerage contract with him, and became his own boss.

Because the company is headquartered in Hong Kong and has close cooperation with the Hong Kong entertainment industry, when Hu Ge was in his junior year, the company took over the filming of the Hong Kong movie "Suspicious" for him. Although the movie itself It doesn't have much appeal in the market, but for Hu Ge, adapting to the Hong Kong director's detailed shooting technique of "let the camera speak" has given him a lot of acting experience.

There are only 5 episodes in the entire drama. Before the filming started, Hu Ge came to the set to try on costumes. The actor who played the "Spider Spirit" in the play was also trying on the costumes with him that day. The first thing she asked when she saw Hu Ge was: "Are you playing Li Are you happy?" This made Hu Ge very embarrassed.

That’s not all. Later, Hu Ge also encountered an even more embarrassing thing. Yao Zhuangxian (known as Yao Xian by netizens), the creator of the game version of "Sword of Immortality", visited the crew and saw Hu Ge. She had a good impression of him and thought he was a well-known actor from the Mainland, so she asked to take a photo with him. This incident later became a joke among the crew.

However, it was this encounter that gave Hu Ge the opportunity to be the protagonist.

Soon there was news from the director team that the role of "Li Xiaoyao" would be replaced by Hu Ge, the current "Jiang Style Orphan" actor. After hearing the news, Hu Ge couldn't believe it at all. He kept asking himself: "How is it possible?"

After receiving the notice that the crew was about to start filming, Hu Ge got up and rushed to Hengdian. He still remembers that it was 2004 During the Spring Festival this year, on February 5, he carried his luggage alone and got on the train. Because it was the Spring Festival travel period, the train was particularly crowded. In a corner, Hu Ge looked at the script that he was already very familiar with with relish. Because he was unsure, he looked out the window from time to time, and the unconfident questions repeatedly appeared in his mind. Until the train arrived at the station, he still stayed in the carriage, Looking at the bustling crowd around me, I didn't feel any excitement about being the protagonist.

When entering the crew, Hu Ge first had to learn martial arts. Chen Weitao, who serves as the martial arts instructor of "Sword and Fairy", is well-known in Hong Kong, and his temper is directly proportional to his fame. If he fails to meet the requirements, he will curse others. Because he is not well-known, the opinions of the producers, screenwriters and directors have not yet been fully unified, and he is always facing the threat of being replaced. And because this was his second film, and he had never had the experience of filming a period costume before, the martial arts instructor’s scoldings and the director’s shouts of KA could not be heard, so he just endured it to the end. In the first few weeks, Hu Ge couldn't control the rhythm very well due to the intensity of his martial arts movements. "At that time, I couldn't stop scolding him." However, every time Director Chen scolded him, he would sincerely tell Hu Ge, "I scolded you for your own good. If you hate me for this, I don't care." Every time he hears these words, Hu Ge's heart feels like he is being recharged, "At that time, I really held back my energy and must perform this play well, because this opportunity is too rare for me. Many of my classmates are still We haven’t filmed it yet, so I have to cherish it.”

With his deep understanding of the fairy sword and his perfect grasp of the character Li Xiaoyao, he soon became “free” both on and off screen. . Later in the filming, the screenwriter ran to the director and excitedly said that Hu Ge was becoming more and more like Li Xiaoyao. By staying aside and watching him filming, a lot of inspiration for the plot could be found from him (Xian's script was revised while filming, Therefore, the actors only get the day's script every morning, while the screenwriter lives in the team and writes while filming). In the end, everyone from the screenwriter to the director gave high praise to his performance. But who can understand the hard work and pain involved?

At the age of 21, there are many accusations and doubts. He, a playful and noisy big boy, has to carefully analyze the characters and study how to perform with dark circles under his eyes. Seven days a week, I can only sleep for 10 hours in total. I can only spend one or two hours resting in bed every day. The rest of my rest time is spent in the car where the crew is exchanged. As for injuries, I was injured to the point where I could not move in bed, but I had to endure the pain and continue shooting the next day. Ordinary flesh injuries were common, and I was injured here or there almost every day. "Legend of Sword" was shot with three cameras and three groups of directors taking turns. The actors had to shuttle between the three director groups according to the overall arrangement. In addition, because the crew of "Sword and Fairy" is filming while the screenwriter is creating, the coordinator will tell the crew's exclusive three-person screenwriter team every day where today's story is going to happen, and then the screenwriter will write the story that will happen tomorrow, and the actors will just They can expect to get the next day's script smoothly before going to bed at night. This extremely commercial creative model undoubtedly increases the burden on actors. He survived such great work and psychological pressure!

The element of luck may not be completely ruled out in today’s little achievements, but he deserves it. Another person may not be able to seize the opportunity when it comes, and even if he does, he may not be able to grasp it well. Not to mention the risk of playing Li Xiaoyao. The possibility of being scolded is much greater than the possibility of being praised, but he seized the opportunity and performed the character's layers very well, from the initially naughty and scoundrel shop waiter to later Li Xiaoyao, who has gradually become chivalrous, has gone from being a carefree person to being infatuated. Li Xiaoyao's cherishment and yearning for family, love and friendship are well demonstrated in the details. He turned Li Xiaoyao from the narrator in the game into a male protagonist who can truly touch people's hearts. He did it and did it well. The results should belong to him!

The clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottles. This is Hu Ge’s favorite saying. The difference between him and other newcomers who became famous with Fairy Sword is that by the time he finished playing Fairy Sword, he was fully mentally prepared for the upcoming honors, criticisms and attention. He knows very well that the current so-called popularity is just a bubble, and future development depends on taking every step of the way to gradually build a ladder to the dream.

"Can endure loneliness, can withstand temptation" is a sentence he often uses to spur himself. Even SOHU's star online host couldn't help but sincerely praise his good attitude after several contacts.

As for the future, I have never thought about what he must be like or what he will be like, not to mention that the entertainment industry is so complicated. When you first enter this industry, it is difficult to predict the future, and it is not just hard work. Yes; moreover, dreams are in the heart and not in the mouth. For now, I just want him to do his best in everything he does, make progress little by little every day, and keep getting closer to his ideal. He is still young and I will always sincerely bless him and encourage him!
