胡一天：《民国奇探》是我“愚公移山”的第一步

With a height of 1.88 meters, a pretty face and an innocent smile, Hu Yitian is universally seen as a handsome man.

身高1.88米的胡一天长相帅气、笑容纯真，是公认的帅哥。

But for an actor, being good looking brings just as much trouble as it does benefits, as it can easily trap them into a certain type of roles.

但作为演员，长得好看虽然有优势，但同样会带来麻烦，因为这很容易将演员局限于某种特定类型的角色中。

The 29-year-old is known for his first lead role as a straight-A student and boy-next-door Jiang Chen in A Love So Beautiful in 2017. Hu worked as a model before becoming a newcomer in showbiz. “Without much acting experience, I’m stressed,” Hu told Beijing News, “but I’ll challenge myself with courage since I chose to step into showbiz.”

这位29岁的演员因2017年的电视剧《致我们单纯的小美好》而爆红，他在剧中饰演成绩优异的邻家男孩江辰，这也是他首次担任主角。在进娱乐圈之前，胡一天曾是一名模特。“因为没有太多表演经验，我很焦虑，”胡一天在接受《新京报》采访时表示。“但既然选择了进入娱乐圈，我就会鼓起勇气，挑战自我。”

Hu has made bold attempts to portray different roles in many TV series. For example, he played Hua Wuque in the 2020 version of Handsome Siblings and a smart student in Unrequited Love.

胡一天在多部电视剧中都大胆尝试塑造不同角色。比如，他在2020版《绝代双骄》中饰演花无缺，在《暗恋橘生淮南》中饰演一名学霸。

Many see Hu’s performance in My Roommate is a Detective as his breakthrough role. He played Lu Yao, a talkative and likable man with a high IQ, rather than being reserved and cool.

很多人认为，胡一天的演技在《民国奇探》中有了突破。不同于以往高冷耍酷的角色形象，他在剧中饰演巧舌如簧、人见人爱、智商超群的陆垚。

“I have many lines about reasoning that could be five to six pages in just one scene,” he told Beijing News, “but I had to keeping talking in a natural way.” However, this role “is a milestone for him,” Hu told The Paper.

“我有不少推理台词，一场戏可能就有五六页，”他在接受《新京报》采访时说道，“但我要一直很自然地表达出来。”不过，这一角色对他来说是个里程碑，胡一天在接受澎湃新闻采访时表示。

Hu likens people’s views on his appearance as mountains, and he wants to remove them by taking on various roles. Lu Yao was one of them.

胡一天将人们对他长相的评价比作高山，他想通过塑造不同角色来“移山”，陆垚就是其中一个转型尝试。
