Yangcheng Evening News reporter Wang Li
Wang Takizheng once won the love of many viewers for his spy war drama "The Spy of the Deep Sea". Although he played Araki is a villain, he is quite attractive because of his three-dimensional and full interpretation.
One year later, Wang Takizheng joined the spy war drama "Secret and Great". This time, he "returns to evil" as an underground member of the Communist Party of China lurking in the Shanghai police station, fighting for his ideals.
The TV series "Secret and Great", which is currently airing on CCTV-8, is directed by Wang Wei. It tells that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the rookie policeman Gu Yaodong (played by Li Yifeng) first entered the workplace. Facing the crowding out of his colleagues and the turmoil of the times, he met with Shen Qinghe, an underground member of the Communist Party of China. (Jin Chen) and Xia Jicheng (Wang Longzheng) work together to help justice and realize the ideal of life.
"In that era, there may be many unknown heroes like Xia Jicheng who silently dedicate everything and even their lives for the most lofty ideals." When accepting an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Yangcheng Evening News, Wang Longzheng himself just "chase "When it comes to the latest plot, he said with emotion, "There are many places where the nose is sour, and it may be more emotional to jump out of the show to watch the drama, and to feel the information and emotions in it more intuitively."
Attracted by multi-faceted settings, showing a three-dimensional person
In the play, Xia Jicheng, played by Wang Longzheng, is the chief of the Second Division of the Interpol of the Shanghai Police Department. He always likes to hold a toothpick in his mouth. He looks snobbish and greedy, ill-informed, and foolhardy, but in fact, his true identity is a CCP. Underground party members, specially lurking in the police station to obtain intelligence.
Wang Takizheng said: "When I first read the script, I really liked this role. He is a person full of sunshine and love, responsible and responsible. He has many facets and rich levels."
Although the character's multi-faceted identity was the reason that initially attracted him to take the shots, with in-depth understanding, Wang Longzheng discovered another charm of Xia Jicheng.
"I think he is a very legendary character, all events are under his control, and he has almost never missed. He can shuttle between the various forces with ease, which I think is very interesting. In all the scripts Among the characters, this character is basically close to perfect."
From the online drama "Psychological Crime" series, "Hunting the Murder in the White Night" to the movie "Nineteen Years of Pursuing the Murder", Wang Takizheng has played the role of a police officer more than once, but this time he felt very different when filming "Secret and Great" .
"Pretending to be a policeman in that special era was completely different from the character to the task function." He said bluntly that he could experience different types of police roles in different ages and "feeling very enjoyable."
In Wang Takizheng's view, although the background of the times and the way of service have given different settings for the role, "but I am acting as a person after all, this is the most important point."
He said: "What I want to express is the perspective of the character, outlook on life, outlook on the world, etc., to show a three-dimensional person, with joy, anger, sorrow, laughter and anger."
There must be room for the performance, a toothpick works wonderfully
In Wang Takizheng's view, the more complicated the role setting, the more subtraction is required in the performance.
"I think the character setting is like a frame, but the most feared thing about character creation is the setting, because it is easy to walk into a dead end and fail to get out. In this way, the performance loses freedom and the character loses agility and vitality. You can Thinking of him is very complicated, but the performance must be subtracted to leave a part of the space for the audience."
In the early days of playing Xia Jicheng, Wang Takizheng would think a lot about a scene, as small as a line and a look.
When he can't hold it, he will panic.
But gradually, through various attempts and explorations, he finally found a sense.
"Maybe you really have to go'dead' and hit yourself against the wall to find a way out. Suddenly one day, you will feel that your two feet are on the ground, and then you are doing everything right."
In this process, the advice from director Wang Wei is of great help to Wang Taki.
In fact, when Wang Taki was filming the first web drama "Psychological Crime", Wang Wei was one of the group directors. The first cooperation between the two established a tacit understanding. Later, when filming "White Night Chasing the Murder", they cooperated more closely. Smooth.
"Each time we cooperate, we have different gains. We are growing together." Wang Longzheng said, Xia Jicheng's habit of holding toothpicks is what Wang Wei asked him to add.
"The script says that Xia Jicheng likes to eat roast chicken, drink tea, play chess, and play cards. But I think one thing is very important, you have to see what is in the "seam" between the play and the play. With a toothpick, I think it’s wonderful. This toothpick brings together the various characteristics of the character. Because of this'stick', his way of speaking, rhythm, and body movements have all changed. , Will show some unexpected effects.” In this process, Wang Takizheng himself also had unexpected “harvest”-because he had filmed too many scenes of eating roast chicken, “I don’t want to eat roast chicken anymore in my life. ".
First time partner Li Yifeng, admiring each other in and out
In "Secret and Great", Gu Yaodong, played by Li Yifeng, is a young policeman who has just entered the workplace. Despite frequent and embarrassing situations at work, he still has the ideal of "helping justice and protecting the people" in his heart.
In Gu Yaodong's growth process, Xia Jicheng, the "head boss", played the role of his "life mentor", guiding him not to forget his original aspirations when he was confused, and helping him out of trouble in times of crisis.
With the support and protection of Xia Jicheng, Gu Yaodong eventually grew into an outstanding Communist Party member.
In Wang Longzheng’s view, Xia Jicheng saw what he used to be from Gu Yaodong: "From the beginning, I felt that this was a very kind and cute boy. When I got in touch with him, I found that he was very principled, black and white, and he was very Persevere in his "police dream"-even though the environment at the time did not support him to be a "good policeman", he never wavered. Later, they were also teachers and friends, and finally they appreciated each other. It feels very warm."
Although it is the first time to work with Li Yifeng, the process of cooperation between the two makes Wang Longzheng very unforgettable: "He is a very good communication and negotiation person, and the most important thing is that he is serious about this role. Everyone is If you want to make this movie well, I think the impact on the scene is very good."
Xia Jicheng and Shen Qinghe, played by Jin Chen, trust each other and cooperate with each other.
The audience is curious, what is the relationship between them-teachers and students?
colleague?
Lover?
To this, Wang Takizheng's answer was: "All right." He believes that the emotions between the two are very complicated, and may include family, friendship, and love.
"There is dependence and reluctance. It is hard to say what kind of emotion it is. It is more like an emotional dislocation under the background of that specific era. I believe everyone will have their own interpretation after reading it."
In Wang Takizheng's view, "Secret and Great" presents a "picture of all beings", "the various characters in the play represent different positions and classes. This play may not talk too much about good and bad, good and evil. It is to present everyone's destiny and choices".
