云集了电影《功夫》主创人员的电视连续剧《功夫状元》，自今年4月2日在横店影视城开机以来，一直以秘密状态进行拍摄，就连5月1日剧组在横店明清宫苑景区举行的明星见面会，也只派出几位新人出场，女主演黄圣依始终没有出现在笔者的视线之内。最后在该剧拍完了三分之二镜头时，剧组才大发慈悲，把雪藏了数月之久的黄圣依等主演悉数推到了媒体面前。
黄圣依在横店明清宫苑景区内的华府花园与笔者侃侃而谈，她的谈吐大方坦诚，笑容灿烂。
《功夫状元》改编自周星驰1992年拍摄的电影《武状元苏乞儿》，讲述的是纨子弟苏灿为博得心上人的垂青，买通考官投考武状元，不想遭人陷害沦为乞儿。这部影片当年上映时曾经创下了3800万港元的高票房。
黄圣依介绍说，《功夫状元》是部30集的电视剧。原来的影片《武状元苏乞儿》的内容满足不了电视剧的需要，所以该剧的艺术顾问周星驰趁着电影《功夫》大热之机，把《功夫》中的部分情节加入到这部电视剧中，这样便使得沦为乞儿的苏灿最终成为了一代功夫宗师。另外，由于剧中的演员绝大部分都是《功夫》的演员，所以《功夫状元》又被称为电视剧版的《功夫》片了。
谈到自己在该剧中饰演的角色，明眸皓齿的黄圣依特别来劲：“我演的是男主人公苏灿的恋人金莎，也是一个隐遁于市的武林高手。在《功夫》中我是一个被人家欺负的手无缚鸡之力的哑巴女孩，而在《功夫状元》中我变成了一个野蛮女友，这个角色与我自己的性格反差挺大。我的性格其实属于温柔型的，并不像金莎这个角色，另外我过去演的角色都是很漂亮妩媚的，可这次却是扮丑，既凶狠又丑陋，这样的形象如果是在现实生活中会让人受不了。还有，以前我演的角色在感情上是追人家，而这次却是被人追。所以这部电视剧对我来说，很多方面都是很有意思的。”
《功夫状元》由钱升玮导演执导，仍然沿袭周星驰《功夫》的搞笑风格拍摄。笔者问她拍摄中的花絮，黄圣依说：“这部电视剧自从开机以来，我们每天都是在笑声中度过，不知不觉已拍了快两个月了。吴孟达、元秋、陈国坤、李卉等都是搞笑天才，片场上随时都听得见大家的笑声，摄影师笑得手都发抖了!不过机器在抖动，拍出来的画面也是抖动的，所以大家只好强忍住笑，不然许多片断要重新拍摄，这样的场面真是很开心。”
被誉为新版“星女郎”的黄圣依，透露出了周星驰对她的关心：“周星驰到现在为止还没有来横店探班，但他打电话给我，希望看到我在表演艺术上有多方面的表现，而不要只在某一方面更有优势，鼓励我多学习人家的表演经验。”饰演苏灿父亲的吴孟达，对黄圣依也是关爱有加，他说：“黄圣依聪明好学，前途无量。”
书香门第出身的黄圣依如今成为知名度颇高的美女明星，令许多同龄女孩羡慕不已，但这次却成了她的烦恼。因为总是有人说她如今红得发紫，无非是与周星驰关系特别好等等，这些传闻令她深感成名之苦。
黄圣依不否认周星驰关心她的进步，她与周星驰一起出席《功夫》在世界各地的推广会时，周星驰常常拉着她的手走向前台。黄圣依认真地说：“要不是他拉着我，我是不会走到他身边的。”她说：“周星驰很忙，尽管如此，他还是会常打电话问拍戏的事，还问我为什么不给他打电话。”
也许只有“缘分”二字才能解释黄圣依与周爷的合作。2003年周星驰率领一班人马在上海挑选《功夫》的女主角，应聘者人山人海，美女如云，因“非典”不上课回到上海的黄圣依，闻讯后抱着随便试试看的心理最后一个前往试戏，谁知道却被周星驰一眼看中，两人就角色的表演整整交谈了两个小时!此前，黄圣依已经出演过电视剧《美丽人生》《红苹果乐园》，现在仍是北京电影学院学生的黄圣依，已签约周星驰的星辉公司，她除了正在横店影视城拍摄电视剧《功夫状元》外，另一部香港电影《猛龙特警队》也有她大量的戏分，她现在是同演两部戏。
笔者问起黄圣依在上海的家，黄圣依深情地说起她的父母亲。黄圣依的父亲黄自强是上海二工大的教师，母亲邓传理是新民晚报《夜光杯》的编辑，该报不少同事都是看着黄圣依长大的。邓传理的父亲是新民晚报创办人邓季惺的弟弟，邓季惺也是经济学家吴敬琏的母亲，是她与陈铭德一起创办了新民晚报。因此，由于家族的原因，黄圣依从小是读新民晚报长大的，她有着深厚的晚报情结。不过黄圣依成名之后，从未通过关系在该报发过一篇报道。问黄圣依为何要这样?她笑道：“我与新民晚报有千丝万缕的关系，小时候常去报社玩。报社从九江路搬到延安路再搬到威海路，我都去玩过。如今许多媒体找我采访，但对新民晚报我要注意避嫌呢。”
考虑到演艺界负面的东西太多，父母以往也曾为女儿设计好了出国深造的光明前程，但黄圣依自作主张地在高考志愿栏里填上了上戏和北影。她说：“18岁了，自己的路自己选择。”果然，上戏和北影都向她伸出了橄榄枝。
“我们家一直都很民主，知道了我的想法就同意了。”从黄圣依轻松随意的语气中，感觉不到她家有“代沟”问题。
黄圣依的母亲把自己在文章里面推崇的家庭平等、孩子独立等观点，在自己家中进行了实践，难怪黄圣依小时候的零花钱“都是刷碗、打扫卫生挣来的”。
黄圣依第一次有权利选择自己人生的时候才17岁。作为上海最有名的重点高中之一――交大附中的优秀学生，她竟然在紧张的学业之余“不务正业”地参加当时电视台和羽西联合评选的MJ主持人大赛，并且一路过关斩将，得了冠军，这段经历注定了她和娱乐圈的缘分。这次比赛后黄圣依做了一年多的电视节目主持人，并且乐此不疲。
黄圣依的戏路一直很宽。她不会专门等着大导演大制作的片子，只要对角色感兴趣，她就会努力去演。
黄圣依有着上海女人的精明，对自己今后的发展也是早有打算：“我其实不想在这个圈子里留下来，我想几年后有了一点知名度也赚到了钱，就去开一个文化公司，我觉得我在这方面还是有能力的。我没想过会有什么自己把握不了的事，表演不是难事，开公司我一样能做好。”
“我的专辑年底可能要出来，风格是滨崎步那样精灵古怪的、百变的样子。”说到自己将要做的尝试，她很得意地扬扬眉毛。
Star Girl Talks about Her TV Series
By Zeng Yulin
Huang Shengyi made her name known across China in her first movie role in Stephen Chow’s Kongfu Hustle, a blockbuster movie in China. In order to make hay while the sun shines, those involved in the movie are shooting a TV series at the World Movie Studios in Hengdian, Zhejiang.
After the close-door work for nearly two months, the producer at last allowed me to interview the major players in the series.
The latest 30-episode kongfu drama is named Number One Kongfu Scholar. It is based on a 1992 blockbuster movie with a book office record of 38 million Hong Kong dollar. Stephen Zhou starred in that movie. But the storyline was not adequate for 30 episodes. So Stephen Zhou decided to interweave some plots from Kongfu Hustle with the old movie. As performers starring in the Kongfu Hustle appear in the new TV series and some plots of the blockbuster are borrowed to make the new TV series tick, some media have called the series as the TV version of the Kongfu Hustle.
Chatting about her role in the new kongfu drama, Huang became excited. I am Jinsha, a girl the hero loves and chases. The girl herself is a kongfu master living quietly in a downtown area of city. In the Kongfu Hustle movie, I was a mute girl with little physical strength and was ruthlessly bullied by hustlers. But in the new drama, I am a sassy girl. That is way different from what I really am. In the past, I always played the role of a beautiful girl. But in this new drama, I appear ugly and bad-tempered. Such a girl is utterly unbearable in my real life. And in my former roles, I chased my boyfriends. But in this one, I am chased. For all these reasons, the TV series is very interesting The nearly-two month shooting is a happy event for Huang. She frequently laughs with other performers over humorous scenes.
Huang says that Stephen Zhou often calls her, though Zhou has not yet visited the site at Hengdian. e hopes that Il do pretty well in an all-round way in the new series. He also encourages me to learn from colleagues.?From a family of scholars, Huang is now the famous star girl in Stephen Zhou’s latest movie. Some people envy her, and some think that her great popularity is simply because she has a special relation with Zhou. These rumors annoy her.
Probably only luck can explain why Huang and Zhou would work together.
In 2003, Zhou and his casting assistants were in Shanghai trying to find the right girl for the heroine for Kongfu Hustle. Beauties rushed in to try their luck. A student at Beijing Film Academy, Huang was back in her hometown Shanghai because of the SARS outbreak. When she learned about the opportunity, she went to try her luck. She was the very last one to appear in front of Zhou and his cast team. Zhou recognized her potentials instinctively. They launched a two-hour discussion about the performance art.
Zhou’s company has signed Huang up as an actress. While shooting in the Number One Kongfu Scholar at Hengdian, Huang also plays a role in another ongoing Hong Kong movie at Hengdian.
The lucky film star’s father is a professor and her mother has been an editor at Xinmin Evening Newspaper in Shanghai. Though her parents wanted her to study abroad after senior high school, the beautiful girl wanted to be a film star. At 18, she made one of the most important decisions in her life. She applied to Beijing Film Academy and Shanghai Theatrical Academy. But it was not her first major decision that shaped her life. At 17, she took part in a local contest and became the champion. After the winning, she hosted a TV program for about one year.
Huang is a versatile actress, ready to take up challenges if she thinks a role is interesting no matter whether or not the producer is a big name.
But she does not plan to stay long in this career. Her ambition is to set up a company of her own to do culture-related business. I think I am capable in this respect. I don’t think there are things I can’t master. Performing is not very difficult and I am sure I can manage a company as well. Her album will come out later this year. That says something about her versatility.
