Chinanews client, Beijing, July 14th (Reporter Shangguan Yun) The recent TV series "Happiness to Ten Thousand Family" has been on the air, and Wan Chuanjia (played by Cao Zheng) has been on the hot search one after another. This character is domineering, selfish, abusive, and even has Netizens said, "I really want to give him a bench."

  In the play, the characters of Wan Chuanjia are particularly unpopular: he is the son of Wan Shantang, the party secretary of Wanjiazhuang Village, and he is domineering in his work. He Xingfu (played by Zhao Liying) gets married. Zhang Keying (played by Zhang Keying), and later led people to forcibly demolish the Wang family's greenhouse, so that everyone could not live in peace.

  As the actor of this role, actor Cao Zheng specifically mentioned in an exclusive interview with a reporter from Chinanews.com that Wan Chuanjia did a lot of bad things in the play and created a lot of contradictions, "I'm following the show and watching Wan Chuanjia. When I passed on this character, I hated it so much that my teeth itch."

  When "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" was broadcast, he often interacted with the audience on Weibo, and thanked them for their understanding and love, "Audiences can follow the drama rationally, separate the characters from the actors themselves, and pay attention to the roles given by the actors themselves. Some of the different things in the show, and expressed recognition and affirmation of the actor's performance. I am very touched. "

  It is also because of his excellent interpretation of Wan Chuanjia that Cao Zheng has gained a high degree of exposure, but he said that he has no concept of "becoming popular". "I don't know how to become popular."

  In fact, Cao Zheng is an actor from a professional background, and he became popular because he played Di Guangyuan in the TV series "The Prequel of Di Renjie".

He also played Qian Yulang in the TV series "Red Sorghum", and then played Mihuai, the king of Chu Huai in "The Legend of Miyue", which left a deep impression on the audience.

  At present, many of the film and television characters created by Cao Zheng are not likable, but he still chooses to take over these roles, one of the reasons is the excellent creative team, "such as Qian Yulang, Chu Huaiwang and Wan Family heirloom, the opportunity to work with director Zheng Xiaolong, teacher Wang Xiaoping, and teacher Zhao Dongling is fortunate and unattainable."

  However, whenever he reads the script, when he sees that his character may have to complete some dramatic tasks, such as a relatively bad character, etc., Cao Zheng's inner emotions will be somewhat complicated. If you don’t choose this type of role, you will be unprofessional and immature as an actor. As you gain a deeper understanding and experience of the role, you will have more creative space.”

  For filming, Cao Zheng has always been in awe, and expects that every scene will be expressed and communicated with enough sincerity, and good works will be presented to the audience.

The following is an excerpt of the interview:

Chinanews.com: For "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes", what was the opportunity for you to take over the play?

Cao Zheng:

It was already the seventh year that I knew Director Xiaolong when I was filming this drama.

This drama is directed by Zheng Xiaolong, written by Zhao Dongling, Zhao Liying plays He Xingfu, Luo Jin plays Guan Tao, any of these four pieces of information is very attractive to me, not to mention adding them together, so it is very attractive to me.

  Director Xiaolong chose the role very seriously and rigorously. Like I worked with him four times before, this time it was Wan Chuanjia who officially went to the production crew for an interview. Later, Director Xiaolong decided it was suitable for me.

Chinanews.com: How do you evaluate the character Wan Chuanjia?

Cao Zheng:

Wan Chuanjia lacked his father's education and care since he was a child, so that his character was lacking.

His domineering is actually a kind of ignorance and a habit. He takes the accommodation and tolerance of others for granted, and the way he treats people and things looks very domineering.

  Domineering is just one of the many characteristics of Wan Chuanjia.

His domineering also stems from the respect and worship of his father in his heart, but he only learned the majestic side of his father, and he did not learn the responsibility of his father and the fairness and justice of treating the villagers.

  Wan Chuanjia was very eager to prove himself to his father, eager to get his father's approval, but only learned a little bit, so he was a little eager for quick success.

Chinanews.com: You and Zhao Liying have many opposite scenes in the play. How do you evaluate Zhao Liying's acting skills?

Cao Zheng:

Li Ying is an actor with a high degree of sincerity, and she is also a very typical kind of actor who takes her life and her sincerity in acting.

She is an actress who really listens and feels really.

  So in the actual shooting process, there may be a lot of inspirations, whether it was me, Li Ying, or director Xiaolong, before the shooting, and inspirations that neither of us thought of, collided. There are many such examples, and they are quite interesting and very Vivid.

Chinanews.com: Among the many roles you have played, which one do you think is the most challenging?

How do you hone your acting skills?

Cao Zheng:

I think the most challenging one is Wan Chuanjia.

He played a key role in driving events throughout the show.

Many conflicts are caused by him, or they are magnified by him.

In addition to the audience's disgust and hatred for him, how can such a character allow the audience to see his richer and more three-dimensional elements? This is a very worth thinking and pondering.

  I've always had a little doubt about the word acting.

I think a good performance is not accomplished through technology and skills. Technology and skills are experience. The state of performance that I personally like is to let myself enter the character, and inject soul and vitality into the character in the text by myself, so that the character can be Rich, full and three-dimensional.

I've always tried to do that in my acting.

Chinanews.com: For actors, which do you think is more important, appearance or acting?

Why?

Cao Zheng:

From my personal point of view, there are two views on appearance. One of them is that men are handsome and women are beautiful. We all talk about pleasing the eyes.

When a good image appears on the screen, it will be loved by audiences who have a good impression. This is a real thing.

Another way of saying is that the image matches the role, so that the actor will act more easily, like a duck in water.

  Looks and acting skills are really important.

The presentation of a good character is accepted and liked by everyone. These two things must complement each other and are indispensable.

Of course, some complement each other may be that the actor's appearance is highly compatible with the role, and then through his acting skills, he will present a role that impresses the audience and is accepted and loved by everyone.

Chinanews.com: Have you experienced some hardships since you became an actor?

How did you spend it?

Cao Zheng:

Difficulties are experienced by everyone.

I have experienced that when I was about to graduate from university, there were six male lead dramas in a year, but the contract was signed, but the filming was discontinued; I also experienced six dramas a year, three male lead one, three male lead two, The last one didn't play.

  How to get out of this predicament?

It is with the help of family and friends to comfort myself and adjust my mentality.

Perhaps all the difficulties and sufferings experienced now will become treasures and precious experiences on the road of future acting.

Chinanews.com: Do you have any experience you can share with the audience about work and life?

Cao Zheng:

Work is always a part of life, not the whole of life.

Do your best when you are working and live your life when you are not working.

  As an actor, creating a character often requires fireworks, and these fireworks come from life.

So I think work and life should be taken seriously, work hard, and live seriously.
