The Canal Merry takes the early years of the Republic of China as the background, and through telling the stories of Huang Zirong, an upright official, a chivalrous and infatuated "One Cloud", and Song Lusheng, a business man with integrity, it reflects the canal watershed of Qilu land spanning nearly 30 years. Historical changes.
Interestingly, this drama has the shadow of "Shandong" everywhere.
The director Zhang Xinjian is from Shandong, and the production team is "Shanying". The story takes place in Jining, Shandong. As a Shandong girl, Wang Yuanke plays a "female bandit" from Shandong. ".
Talking about the opportunity to take over this drama, Wang Yuanke was quite emotional: "I have known Mr. Zhang Xinjian many years ago, and we are both fellows from Shandong. And I have always wanted to work with Shanying's team. They are very professional and experienced. The mature team. At that time, director Zhang Xinjian selected me, and after trying the makeup and deciding the makeup, it felt more suitable, and I got this role, which is quite fate. "
In the impression of many people, Shandong girl is synonymous with "frankness", as is "a cloud" in the play.
She is so skilled that Hengdao immediately won't let her men down; she dares to love and hate, she is not shy, and she is not discouraged when she confesses; she is brave and courageous, and she stands up for the betrayed sisters, just to seek justice.
Wang Yuanke bluntly stated that this is a female character that is rarely seen in men's plays: "'Yiyiyun' is a 'female bandit' in the play, she has a bright and generous personality, is chivalrous and courageous, and has a convincing prestige in her own tribe. In men's dramas, it is very precious to have such a female character. Although her education level is not high, she sees problems very clearly, whether it is in managing subordinates, helping sisters, or in dealing with love, she has her own the norm.”

In all fairness, the informal and flamboyant "One Cloud" doesn't look very similar to the gentle Wang Yuanke.
However, the pursuit of performance is not to perform in true colors, but to substitute for oneself by reading the background color of the characters and understanding the behavior of the characters, experience the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the characters, and achieve the resonance and even empathy of the soul.
As Wang Yuanke said: "When I saw the role of 'One Cloud', I liked it very much. When I finished reading the script, a 'One Cloud' had already lived in my heart. After reading this character, I could not help but substitute it. , and I am confident that I can do it well. I let go of the acting and release all the suppressed aspects of ordinary life. "
It is not difficult to find that Wang Yuanke's character has the same candor and sincerity as "One Cloud", but this is precisely the point where she is most easily misunderstood.
Most of the audience's understanding of Wang Yuanke comes from the hit drama "Strategy of Yanxi Palace" in 2018. The pure concubine Su Jing, played by her, has a quiet appearance and is gentle and pleasant, but in fact, she is deeply scheming and ruthless. She is a veritable flower. "Black Lotus".
The empathy of some audience members made Wang Yuanke a bit ironic: "I think everyone's biggest misunderstanding of me is to confuse me with Concubine Chun, maybe everyone is too impressed with Concubine Chun, so they will graft her character to me. Personally, I think I'm a 'hard character'. But to be honest, I'm not. I'm relatively mild in life, and I don't care about anything. Let it be, everyone can still distinguish between characters and real people, probably most of them Sometimes it's just casually teasing me or joking. I don't think it's a big problem, and I like to interact with everyone."

Facing misunderstandings, Wang Yuanke has an optimistic attitude, and she also has an open-minded attitude towards her acting career.
"Strategy of Yanxi Palace" is her representative work, but it has also become the basic line for the public to review Wang Yuanke's subsequent works "out of the circle or not".
She bluntly said that she is not entangled in the so-called "big role": "I have always been filming, and I feel very satisfied when I have a favorite cooperation. The role of an actor who can be a big hit in his life is hard to come by, so it's better to struggle with these things. , it is better to focus on the front first, and when the opportunity comes, it will naturally favor me."
In the end, she made a simple and simple wish with a smile: "I hope that I can continue to play and play various roles, and the role can be liked by everyone, then I am very satisfied. I hope this I will insist on doing this one thing well all my life and keep this love. The audience's discussion and recognition of the character is the best reward for me."

The excerpt from the interview is as follows:
Zhongxin Entertainment: What are you busy with during this time and how is your state?
Wang Yuanke: I
just finished filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy IV" recently, which belongs to a state of returning to the family.
Finally have enough time to enjoy life and enjoy freedom.
It felt good to be home and I was immersed in a happy resting state with the kids.
Zhongxin Entertainment: "A cloud" in "The Merry Canal" expresses emotions very boldly and directly. Is this similar to your own view of emotions?
Wang Yuanke:
"One Piece of Cloud" She is very brave in her relationship, and she can directly and boldly pursue people she admires, just like Huang Zirong. Even if she is rejected and misunderstood, she will give her wholeheartedly, and she will not prepare for Niu Zhenshan who doesn't like it. Tires go straight.
I admire her courage, but I'm still very different from her, because I'm a more reserved person, I'm not so straightforward when it comes to feelings, and I hide a lot of emotional things in my heart.
Zhongxin Entertainment: What was the most challenging and difficult scene for you during filming?
Wang Yuanke:
For me, the more difficult thing to overcome is the play in the water.
It was at the execution ground and I needed to roll over into the river because I was very afraid of water. I couldn't swim since I was a child, and I have always been afraid of water.
Even if I only took one shot underwater, I was very scared, just like people who are afraid of heights are afraid of heights, so I really mustered up my courage and sank in regardless.
After filming that scene, I made up my mind that I must overcome the psychological shadow of being afraid of water, otherwise, if I encounter the need to go into the water in the future filming, I will cause trouble for myself and the staff.
So I learned to swim.

Sino-Singapore Entertainment: Share with us an interesting anecdote on the set.
Wang Yuanke:
It has been more than four years since the filming of this scene. From the New Year’s Eve filming in 2017 to the beginning of 2018, everyone gets along like family members inside and outside the film. I remember we made dumplings together on the filming site during the New Year’s Eve.
After every recycling, we have a small dining table. When we are not filming, we study food in the hotel's "small kitchen".
We all like to make good dishes, and then put them together and wait for the people who have finished work to come back and eat together. It is really like home, and every day is better than the New Year.
(In the play against many powerful old actors, will you be under pressure?)
There will be a point, like being with Sarina and Teacher Gong Zheng, you will be impressed by their performances, but I also think that I will not let everyone down, and I don’t want everyone to work overtime with me.
Zhongxin Entertainment: After the broadcast of "The Canal Merry", have you paid attention to the evaluation of the outside world?
Wang Yuanke:
Looking at Weibo, most people say that "Yiyiyun" is valiant, handsome and cool, but the most impressive one is that someone said, "This may be the thinnest female bandit I have ever seen."
It's different from the bandit image everyone imagines, but if it's fat, it may not match the character's character design. It's more difficult to get fat if you have practiced martial arts since childhood and went up and down mountains and waters.
(How to deal with positive/negative reviews?)
Not complacent, not arrogant.
Positive praise makes me happy. After all, it affirms my efforts. Negative evaluation depends on which point it is aimed at.
If it is put forward objectively, I think it also makes sense. I will try to change it next time. If it is just to express my emotions and attack, then forget it, and don’t block myself.

Zhongxin Entertainment: Which actor do you want to work with the most?
Wang Yuanke:
The actor who really wants to cooperate is Teacher Li Xuejian. Strictly speaking, the actor who wants to continue to cooperate after cooperation is Teacher Li Xuejian!
Because 12 years ago, I was fortunate to play the daughter of teacher Li Xuejian in "The Oath of This Life", and the cooperation was very pleasant.
He is a real artist. Judging from his eyes and performance, you can believe that he is the father. I have been moved by him in many scenes, and hope to be able to play the father and daughter again.
