China-Singapore Entertainment, Beijing, April 26 (Liu Yue) Recently, the historical drama "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight" is on the air.

  Whether it is the ups and downs of the plot, the scenery full of fireworks, or the style of Zhuang and harmony, it is quite bright.

In addition to Chen Baoguo, Zhang Fengyi, Wang Ji and other powerful veteran actors joining in, Cheng Yi, who plays the young Zhu Di, is also eye-catching.

  It is more appropriate to describe the "juvenile Zhu Di" created by Cheng Yi as "when I was young with fresh clothes and angry horses, I saw all the Chang'an flowers in one day".

On the one hand, he is rebellious, a "naughty student" who often skips classes, and even left the palace to join the army in order to refuse marriage; on the other hand, he is arrogant, his eyes are clear, and his heart is attached to the country and the world.

  This kind of mature temperament is mixed in the young man who is still a little young, and it seems contradictory and harmonious. The stubborn, stubborn and unyielding side, as well as the lofty and lofty-minded side of the family and the country. The combination of many aspects makes the role of the young Zhu Di more three-dimensional."

  In order to play a role well, preparation is indispensable.

In order to shape the youthful period of "Zhu Di" well, Cheng Yi checked the materials in advance, and humbly asked the seniors: "I have received a lot of guidance on the direction of the characters from the director and screenwriter teachers, and I was also inspired by the performance methods of the senior teachers on the set. Learn how to make yourself more relaxed and give characters more natural."

  What makes people laugh is that the young Zhu Di in "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight" was dubbed by netizens as "being beaten".

Because he joined the army without the knowledge of his elders, he was first rewarded with forty military sticks by his future husband Xu Da, and then his father Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a shoe to spank. Ten whips, everything is the "price" of youth growth.

  But mentioning his "beating" experience, Cheng Yi admitted that he has learned a lot of acting experience.

He revealed that the "shoe sole attack" from his father in the play was the on-the-spot performance of Mr. Chen Baoguo: "The scene where Mr. Chen Baoguo beat Xiao Zhu Di with his shoes was actually played on the spot. At that time, everyone did not expect him to fight. In that situation, I naturally acted according to that emotion. Now, when I look at it, I feel that the reaction is quite real. ."

  In fact, as a young actor, playing on the same stage with a group of seniors, it is normal for people to be under a lot of pressure, and Cheng Yi is no exception: "There must be pressure, and at that time I was worried that if my performance was not good, it would affect this role. "Fortunately, during the filming process, Cheng Yi benefited a lot from the encouragement and teaching of Zhang Fengyi and Chen Baoguo. "The seniors have been encouraging us. The two teachers are very respectable performing artists. During the filming process, you can feel Their love for the play and their strict requirements for the details of the characters. They are also very loving elders outside the play, and they passed on their acting experience to us. I really miss the time when I listened to the lectures of the two teachers."

  The love and admiration from 2018 has not dissipated until today.

In fact, time has always been between the actor and the audience. There is always a delay between the eyes in front of the screen and the characters on the screen, sometimes so long that even the actor's own memory of that time period begins to blur.

Cheng Yi didn't feel sorry, he smiled cheerfully: "Memory may be blurred, but things learned and precipitated will not, such as the shining points I saw from senior actors, I will always remember these in my heart. But art It’s a pity in itself, and I think I need to face it with a calm attitude, as long as I keep working hard and making progress, all the hard work is worth it.”

  In Cheng Yi, you will see the sharp and gentle appearance of time - when he was a teenager, he rode a green-skin train alone to Beijing to pursue his dream, and the fire in his heart calcined the young and young boy into a determined and brave man today. Young man, time has sculpted him in a big way.

Speaking of those difficult days, he was grateful: "I didn't feel tired at that time, it was as if a small flame was burning in my heart, I felt that I was chasing my dreams, and I was very excited."

Cheng Yi

  The scene in which Mr. Chen Baoguo hit Xiao Zhu Di with his shoes was actually played on the spot. At that time, no one expected him to hit him.

  I feel that every scene is quite challenging. After all, facing so many senior teachers, I feel nervous inside.

But all the teachers are very kind. They let our juniors relax every time and give me a lot of encouragement.
