China News Service, Beijing, September 28 (Liu Yue) For most viewers, the last time the name "Zhang Rui" was mentioned in large numbers was during the broadcast of "New Fairy Princess" in 2011.
"When Xianyi was an angry young man, he lived up to his youth and knew that", Yongqi, the high-spirited fifth elder brother who rode Ma Hongchen, was popular with thousands of girls back then, and was the "white moonlight" in the hearts of countless audiences.
After 11 years, the role of "Yu Mo" in the summer hit Xianxia drama "Agarwood is like crumbs" brought Zhang Rui back to the audience's field of vision.
With the spread of key words such as Zhang Rui's manners, Zhang Rui's fighting scenes, and Zhang Rui's crying scenes, he has received high attention for the second time since his debut.
Originally planned to retire after the performance of "Yu Mo"?
In "Agarwood is like crumbs", Yu Mo is the only bloodline of Jiu Fin, the master of the four seas in ancient times. He is a dragon in the sky and a fish in the sea.
For the heroine Yan Dan, he cut the dragon's horns, split the sky, chased from the sky to the world, and fought hard for eight hundred years.
"Yu Mo has always guarded his sweetheart, but he can't love him. His feelings are worthy of respect, because 'do not violate the rules', he did not break any bottom line to love a person. He does not fight or grab, even if Yan Dan is the last choice With others, as long as she is happy, then he can be happy too."
Having a deep love, but burying the love in the bottom of the heart, this kind of behavior makes the audience a little bit hate the iron.
During the broadcast, Zhang Rui set up an automatic reply on Weibo, "Since you are following me, can you lend your mouth to Yu Mo to use it?"

"Big grievance, big confusion, no long mouth", Zhang Rui took stock of the character of "Yu Mo" with a laugh: "His mouth is too stupid, everyone knows that I have played the fifth prince and Qi Fei, including I can say it myself, if I could borrow the mouth of Fifth Brother or Qi Fei to use him, this matter would have already come to fruition."
Such a deep affection and silence that crosses the three realms makes the audience calling for Yu Mo off-screen not a few.
At the same time, Yu Moxing's flowing play and demeanor with a very classical charm have also become a circle point, which made Zhang Rui's popularity soar.
But few people know that the original "Yu Mo" is likely to be the last role in his actor career.
"I once thought that after the show was broadcast, if it was recognized by everyone, I would continue to work in this industry. If it didn't meet expectations, I might change careers."
Silence is the experience of life, Rising is unwilling to give up
"If you could say a word to Zhang Rui 10 years ago, what would you most like to say?"
"Brother, don't hold the concert for now. You can hold it at any time in a few years. At that time, you will be useless."
"It turned out to be a waste." Zhang Rui smiled: "It's okay, if I hadn't had those life experiences, maybe I would have been too floating by now."
"New Fairy Princess" brought a group of main creators into the mainstream vision. At that time, Zhang Rui became an instant hit and went to the position of a new first-line niche student in the mainland.
However, when he debuted as a singer, he did not continue to act while the iron was hot, but chose to release an album and hold a concert.
There was no filming for one year, and no broadcasting for two years. During this period, the mainland film and television industry underwent earth-shaking changes. The consequence of not keeping up with the works in time was that they quickly fell from the first echelon.

"I have been paying this debt for so many years, paying different prices, and I have always hoped to return to the mainstream vision."
"There was also a selective error in the middle. There was a play looking for me, but I didn't participate in it for various reasons, so I chose another work." During that time, he seemed to be seldom favored by the goddess of luck: "The play tells me about it. Everyone knows that it exploded after the broadcast, and it was a ceiling-level drama, and I was in contact with one of the best characters in it."
Throwing a stone into a well, but no ripples appear, is a terrible thing for an actor to not get feedback from the audience.
Zhang Rui laughed at himself: "Sometimes I don't want to do this myself anymore, I have been filming and giving, but I have never been recognized by everyone, and I have never been able to appear in everyone's sight, because many scenes have been filmed. It doesn’t mean that it will definitely be broadcast.”
However, when he was the most confused and depressed, Zhang Rui never really gave up. He wrote a song called "The Heart is Far From Away" to reveal his heart. The water is far and the cloud is long."
Fortunately, the fireflies born in the micro-moment will eventually rise up in the wind and gather into a shining galaxy.
"After the airing of "Agarwood Like Crumbs", everyone suddenly saw Zhang Rui again, and some people said, 'This is my favorite actor a few years ago, and he is filming again, it's great'." After 11 In 2008, Zhang Rui was finally "seen" again. In the years without the red carpet, all the firmness and perseverance have meaning.
"I am soberly aware that there are some people waiting for me, they want to see me again, they want to support me again, and they want actors like me to have more opportunities, so I also completely dismissed the idea of quitting the circle. ."
"Stand up" to "Don't be confused" Do what you want without breaking the rules
Zhang Rui is 35 years old this year. He has transitioned from "standing" to "not confused", but he has entered a state of doing what he wants without breaking the rules.
He not only cares about the real audience's evaluation, but also ignores malicious comments: "I really hope to see the audience point out that Zhang Rui is not well handled, so that I can improve, and the actors can't be self-satisfied. Of course, malicious black I don't care. , whatever they say, treat it as air."
Although he is shy in private, Zhang Rui, who is in business, is always in full swing.
He believes that it is the artist's duty to provide the audience with good emotional value, rather than pretending to be cool in front of the camera: "Everyone wants to hear your understanding of this character, or gain happiness from you."
Zhang Rui believes that the identity of "actor" is the same as thousands of careers, it is love, life, and a job, that's all, "This industry is to provide joy and let the audience relax after work, so everyone should not Blindly chasing stars."

A star that has been shining, quiet and rising, to some extent, can represent the changes of the times.
Zhang Rui recalled that in the film and television industry more than ten years ago, the actors who came over at that time attached great importance to basic skills and followed the "rules".
"There are many rules on the filming site. You can't sit in the director's chair, you can't direct other people's work, you must respect other people's professionalism, and treat the script with caution. If you say a line wrong, you must apologize to the scene, 'I'm sorry, can you do it again', a series of You have to learn the rules."
"I'm very lucky to have a show like "New Fairy Princess" to temper me from the very beginning, from horseback riding to fighting scenes, from lines to demeanor, eye scheduling, characterization, including expression management, such a large professional team uses 9 It takes months to strictly demand you and mold you into shape, which is something I don't regret."
However, it is a pity that the rapid development of an industry means that all the mud and sand will fall in a short period of time.
Due to the failure to adapt to the changes in the market, many "rule-abiding" actors have changed careers, and it is difficult for them to return. This is the industry's helplessness.
Fortunately, ten years have passed, and the big waves have washed the sand, and the moment has become the best moment.
"It has come to the time when the actors of that era can be discovered, because everyone likes actors who really work hard, so I think my opportunity has come. Now, if you want to deceive the audience, it is difficult, you can't do it. So everyone honestly acts, and the audience is smarter than the actors."
The feng shui of this industry takes turns, not too many people can stay on top forever, and not too many people stay silent forever, "When you are at the top, don't despise the people at the bottom of the mountain, and when you are at the bottom of the mountain, you don't have to look up at the mountain too much. people."
"The sky is high and the heart is far away. I have different mentalities at different times. Now I can see the industry more clearly and understand how to be an actor. The script has been written, keep calm, and do everything well. It's okay, I think."

The interview transcript is as follows:
Chinanews.com: Yu Mo has forbearance and affection, but your personality seems to be more extroverted. How to handle the role?
Zhang Rui:
What everyone sees now is me who has been trained. In fact, I am quite introverted and shy, and I don’t know how to speak.
I entered the industry at the age of 16. At that time, I used my own appearance to meet everyone, without making any adjustments.
Gradually, I feel that this is not good, because everyone can't feel what you want to say.
Adults in their twenties are not teenage children anymore. Many times they have to do publicity or record programs. If they are bored all the time, they will not be able to express themselves, and they will not even be able to speak well during the live broadcast. What do you want to talk to you about? ?
How can I get you as a person?
So during the time when I seldom see you, I have been practicing my expressive skills, including how to communicate with the media, how to present myself on the show, and cultivate these things that I am not good at in order to be in business.
Chinanews.com: In "Agarwood is like crumbs", Yulian CP also brings relaxation and joy to everyone. Many people eat this pair. What do you think?
Zhang Rui:
Everyone has the right to choose. They can like Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha in "Journey to the West", or they can like Baigujing.
It is your right and choice as an audience to choose to support Yulian CP or other CPs.
So I don't think it's a problem, like I like potatoes, you like cabbage, maybe some people like Houttuynia cordata, everyone's tastes are different, we don't need to force-feed others to eat.
So as an actor, if I create a good role and play Yu Mo's non-violence, forbearance, tolerance and protection in place, my task will be completed. As for who you eat, that's your business.

Chinanews.com: During the filming of "Agarwood is like crumbs", did you have any interesting events that impressed you?
Zhang Rui:
Actually, there are a lot of fun things. Everyone may be acting and then suddenly stop or click. It's very funny.
When changing the scene, everyone will chat with each other, and then talk about some interesting things they have seen recently, and share some interesting memes.
Yang Zi will let everyone dance together, and pull Cheng Yi or me to play the game of picking up songs. For example, when you sing the end of a song, the beginning and the end of the song must match.
There was no winner or loser in this one, it was just deliberately teasing her.
Because when Yang Zi was very young, we filmed together.
From my experience, it is the feeling of a brother taking care of his sister.
If she wants to have fun, she will play with her, because sometimes she is very tired, she has the most roles among the three of us, and the workload is relatively large, so I hope to help her adjust her state.
Chinanews.com: I have known Yang Zi for many years. From the perspective of my brother, what do you think Yang Zi has grown and changed?
Zhang Rui:
I knew her when I was filming "New Fairy Princess", and then to the first collaboration in "Flowers Are Not Flowers and Fog, Not Fog". At that time, we had rival scenes, but not many.
She was a child at that time, and so was I, just an adult.
And then to this time "Agarwood is like crumbs", after 12 years of change, she has changed from a little girl to a little girl.
The first point is maturity. Her maturity is not external maturity, but a psychological maturity.
But at the same time as she is mentally mature, she keeps the sunshine and innocence.
Yang Zi's innocent, innocent, kind side is very well protected.
She will not make everyone feel distant, and is an actor who retains her original intention.
