電視劇《狼毒花》最近在全國(guó)熱播,浙江美女童蕾登上“收視女皇”的寶座。她從當(dāng)年的“新海巖女郎”到今天的“紅色戀人”,一路走得很順……
“物質(zhì)女孩”到“紅色戀人”
當(dāng)年童蕾?gòu)纳虾騽W(xué)院畢業(yè),出演的第一個(gè)角色是《走過花季》中的陳非兒??上У氖悄莻€(gè)戲播過后,童蕾的名字沒有達(dá)到預(yù)期的火候,后來她演《陽(yáng)光像花一樣燦爛》的季文竹,也未見“一炮走紅”。對(duì)此她不樂觀也不遺憾,演員總要付出艱辛,她早已經(jīng)做好了細(xì)水長(zhǎng)流的準(zhǔn)備。后來她參加《亮劍》演出,《亮劍》雖然是個(gè)純粹的男人戲,不想?yún)s為童蕾帶來了喝彩,劇中田雨的天真浪漫,為這個(gè)戲平添一抹溫柔的色彩,那是童蕾扮演的第一個(gè)軍旅題材的角色;后來她演《青春之歌》里的林道靜,這是她演得最投入、花精力最多、最滿意的一個(gè)戲,她說:“這完全是練一個(gè)人,如果松一下勁就完全在你身上垮了,完全不能松勁?!?/p>
這次她出演《狼毒花》里的孿生姐妹梅子和夏雨。她們姐妹倆有著迥然不同的個(gè)性,但因?yàn)闄C(jī)緣巧合不想先后愛上同一個(gè)人。村姑梅子對(duì)愛情死心塌地,夏雨卻是個(gè)英姿颯爽的革命女青年,童蕾說我有些偏愛夏雨,她的傲氣、堅(jiān)強(qiáng)和我本人有太多的相像。她演的《那些迷人的往事》是部很徹底的女人戲,所有的男人都會(huì)從心底暗戀著童蕾在劇中演的那個(gè)女知青,她飾演女知青從20歲演到40多歲的戲,經(jīng)歷了一個(gè)女人最青春美好的一段時(shí)間。
最近媒體喜歡把《誰懂我的心》看成是童蕾?gòu)募t色題材向現(xiàn)代題材的轉(zhuǎn)型之作。為了演好《誰懂我的心》里的心理咨詢師,童蕾特地去看了畢淑敏的小說《女心理師》,受益匪淺,她說:“做心理咨詢師需要很冷靜,不能讓你的患者覺得你的情緒太波動(dòng),如果你比他還亂了方寸肯定不行。她應(yīng)該很溫情,給人安全感,帶來很穩(wěn)定的感覺。當(dāng)一個(gè)人時(shí)刻帶著審視的眼光觀察自己,會(huì)讓自己變得平和?!庇腥さ氖沁M(jìn)入狀態(tài)的童蕾,將觀察別人的心理狀態(tài)變成了職業(yè)病,當(dāng)新聞發(fā)布會(huì)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)她看到一位主持人,竟給主持人看起了病。
“大叔”和“冷幽默”
童蕾和郭曉東第二次合作,她親切地稱他“大叔”,私底下她還覺得這樣的年齡做“大叔”有點(diǎn)“賣老”,而拍戲時(shí)對(duì)方表現(xiàn)出來的經(jīng)驗(yàn)卻讓她欽佩有加:“他是很樸實(shí)的一個(gè)人,個(gè)人經(jīng)歷也很豐富,跟他說話我會(huì)經(jīng)?!?!’出來,在他身上發(fā)生的很多事情是我聽說過但是沒有經(jīng)歷過的,所以昵稱‘大叔’倒也合適。”
《那些迷人的往事》有這么一場(chǎng)戲:兩人勞動(dòng)完了從黃土高坡上走來談情說愛,童蕾順手把毛巾搭在肩上,鋤頭背在肩上,這動(dòng)作看著雖有點(diǎn)不太像卻也自覺沒什么不妥。郭曉東卻說毛巾應(yīng)該系在脖子上,流汗的時(shí)候會(huì)吸汗,他還現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演示鋤地動(dòng)作,這下看得童蕾驚訝連連“天哪,太有力量了。我不會(huì)就做不像,就像打網(wǎng)球的戲那樣,再怎么拍特寫,要是你接不到球就是不像!”
頂著“紅色戀人”的稱號(hào),童蕾偶爾也會(huì)向記者抱怨拍戲的苦:“拍戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)年代題材的戲,條件最苦最累最臟,每個(gè)戲都要轉(zhuǎn)五六個(gè)景點(diǎn),每次都要去最偏僻最落后的地方,有的地方幾乎沒有人煙。住在老鄉(xiāng)家里,沒有抽水馬桶睡覺沒有軟床,床上有跳蚤、蚊蟲如果你打不完就沒辦法睡覺,當(dāng)然實(shí)在累了也只得睡下去?!?/p>
童蕾試過在張家界的風(fēng)口上吃盒飯,拿身體擋著風(fēng)扒拉著飯粒,飯粒上總是和著沙;夏天在野地上吃飯,蓋子還沒打開一群蒼蠅轟的飛過來……童蕾說:“不過我還是一個(gè)比較有韌性的女孩,既然我做了這行,拍戲這種苦吃得下,再說劇組所有的人都在吃苦。”當(dāng)聊到她一直耿耿于懷的長(zhǎng)發(fā)時(shí),心里和嘴上才表現(xiàn)出不快樂的嬌嗔:“對(duì),我最煩的是,為了演革命戲把頭發(fā)給剪了,再也沒有養(yǎng)長(zhǎng)過,這是最最可惜的事情,別的都不重要。女孩愛美嘛,我想大家可能已經(jīng)把我愛美的那一方面給忘了。生活中我還是喜歡自己長(zhǎng)發(fā)飄飄的感覺,現(xiàn)在全是運(yùn)動(dòng)短發(fā),齊劉海,實(shí)在是沒辦法。我把自己都看煩了,都不好配衣服?!?/p>
童蕾還是個(gè)謙虛的人,她說:“做演員能做到嫻熟的話肯定不是好演員,我覺得演戲到最后比的是誰比誰更真誠(chéng)。假如老是一個(gè)套路肯定會(huì)被人看出來?!薄独嵌净ā窡岵ィ俚巧稀笆找暸省钡膶氉?,離“大紅大紫”只有一步之遙,但她不在意,她說:“我是熱愛這一行的,紅不紅我真的沒有概念,沒有想過。從出大學(xué)校門到現(xiàn)在我的想法從來沒有改變過,那就是演好戲做一個(gè)好演員。這不是我虛偽,我真的不知道什么才是紅,什么才是頂峰?!?/p>
沒有人采訪過童蕾父母,她也從不主動(dòng)聊起他們。在她看來,讓父母默默地享受女兒帶來的驕傲、讓他們平靜地看著女兒的成功、快快樂樂地生活就好了。童蕾出生在寧波海曙區(qū)一個(gè)普通的家庭,父母經(jīng)商。只是表姐喜歡越劇,拉著童蕾考進(jìn)了浙江藝術(shù)學(xué)校,然后進(jìn)了浙江小百花越劇團(tuán)。后來又考進(jìn)上海戲劇學(xué)院,轉(zhuǎn)而投身影視了。
目前童蕾正在《誰懂我的心》電視連續(xù)劇中飾演心理咨詢師,在青島熱拍。問她演越劇好還是拍戲好,她說各有各的優(yōu)勢(shì),就我來說目前更喜歡拍戲。至于談到愛情,她說:“我是普通女孩嘛,我不會(huì)超越。我也渴望愛情,只不過現(xiàn)在的感情狀態(tài)不方便說,個(gè)人隱私哦?!?/p>
Starlet Shines in Teleplays
By Zhao Weiwei
As “Stellera Chamaejasme?or “Wolf poison flower?has become a national hit recently, Tong Lei, the lead woman in the teleplay and beauty from Zhejiang, has naturally become the hottest woman in terms of teleplay rankings.
A graduate from Shanghai Theater Academy, the promising Tong did not become an instant success after appearing as lead woman in a few highly promising teleplays. Tong did not care very much about the lukewarm ratings. She knew that she had done a good job and that elusive fame was beyond her control. If she did not shine in teleplays that targeted the young with romance, fashion, youthful sentiments as expected, her appearance in “Unsheathing the Sword? a drama of war and warriors, attracted national attention quite unexpectedly.
In “The Wolf Poison Flower? Tong Lei appears as twin sisters and by accident, the two sisters fell in love with the same man under very different circumstances. In “Those Enchanting Things of the Past? Tong Lei interprets the best twenty years of an urban woman who was first exiled to the countryside in her early 20s. Some critics comment jokingly that all the men in the country have fallen in love with Tong Lei in the teleplay.
Her latest appearance in “Who Understands My Heart?as a psychiatrist will be a turning point in her career. This character has nothing to do with the revolutionary past. It is a modern drama and the psychiatrist handles delicate issues of modern distress and stress. In order to better interpret the character, Tong has read the original novel by Bi Shumin. Tong comments on her role in the play, “A psychiatrist needs to stay calm. You never let your patient see your emotions. You would fail if you expose yourself to emotional disturbances. My character should be tender and radiate a sense of security and stability. You become calm when you keep scrutinizing yourself.?Acting as a psychiatrist has enabled Tong Lei to observe people more closely. At one press release, she even talked like a psychiatrist with an emcee.
As an actor, she needs to adapt to all kinds of circumstances in shooting a teleplay. She has experienced the worst hardships when shooting war teleplays. At one shooting site, life was really hard in remote wilderness. None of the convenient devices in modern urban life existed. She pulled through and did not complain very much. The most regrettable thing for her as the result of these red teleplays was that she cut her long hair off for the character. She has not got a chance to let her hair grow long since the cut. When she looks at herself in the mirror, she always worries what to wear to suit the hair.
Tong is modest about fame but highly professional about acting. She comments, “An actor will not be brilliant if she depends merely on a set of skills. At the end of the day, it matters if you put your heart in acting. If you never make changes and if you follow the same routine day in day out, the audience will notice your limits.?Though her appearance in “Stellera Chamaejasme?could be rated as success, some people believe she is still a step away from superstardom. But Tong says she does not care whether she is famed or not. “I really have no idea what fame is. Nor have I pondered the issue. I haven’t changed my idea about acting since my graduation from the college. I really love acting. I want to be a good actor.?No media has ever interviewed Tong’s parents and Tong never offers to talk about them. She feels the best reward she can give them is let them enjoy her success quietly and lead their own happy life. She is from Ningbo, a port city in Zhejiang Province. Her parents are engaged in business. Her cousin was a fan of Yueju Opera. It was due to the encouragement of the cousin that Tong Lei entered the Zhejiang Academy of Performing Arts. Then she entered Zhejiang Little 100 Flowers Troupe. And she later was recruited by Shanghai Theater Academy.
