　　We also know that at the beginning of this year, this 58-episode "The World" knocked on the hearts of many hundreds of millions of viewers.

The drama is going to be on the stage to meet the audience. In fact, I am not afraid of comparison. It is all based on different interpretations under the brilliance of a work in "The World". Our script adjustment this time mainly emphasizes the linear structure of the story, (we) strive to be able to In 180 minutes, the audience can see this piece of life, the piece of life we ​​want to express.

　　In fact, my role in 58 episodes (TV series) did not have that many scenes, as Tang Xiangyang.

But when it comes to the drama, the volume of this play is smaller, and the volume of the characters is larger.

Zhou Bingkun is a very ordinary person, he is a soul, this is more difficult.

How to see the big from the small in his ordinary, can see his beliefs, some people will get lost in the face of happiness, and some people will be born in the face of suffering, so I think it is a book of faith. do.

　　[Commentary] The play "The World" is the first literary work adapted into a play by the writer Liang Xiaosheng. The play takes the life trajectory of the hero Zhou Bingkun in a "light character film" in a civilian area of ​​a provincial capital city in the north as a clue, and takes the life of three generations of the Zhou family as clues. For the radius and depth, it shows the real life and struggle of more than a dozen civilian children in the past 50 years.

　　Li Xiaomeng, the actor of Zhou Bingkun's wife Zheng Juan, said that she was fortunate to play a role with such a wide age range, and to be able to experience the changes in China for half a century with the characters in the play. She thought it was a happy journey.

　　I was lucky this time. From the age of 21 until I was old, we were able to experience this half-century span together. It was a very happy journey.

We grew up in a honeypot, but the reason why I think I can be an actor is that I knew from the day I was 14 years old that I could believe that I could really have that kind of emotional resonance with her. , so I especially like Zheng Juan's calmness and strength. I also try to convey this calmness to the audience as much as possible in my expression, a more restrained and implicit strength.
