Wang Ziwen, who hadn't stayed up late for a long time, saw it at three o'clock in the morning. After chasing the finale, she was so excited that tears filled her eyes. She wanted to send a Weibo post to tell everyone to come and see, but when she calmed down the next day, she simply shared a still photo of Ye Wenjie in the snow.
In the play, the life trajectory of the young Ye Wenjie is the starting point of the story of the Three-Body World. She pressed the red button with one hand to send a message to the extraterrestrial civilization, and the fate of mankind has been changed since then.

Substitute yourself into Ye Wenjie
Director Yang Lei once mentioned in many interviews that Wang Ziwen was the first choice for the young Ye Wenjie when he was preparing to shoot "The Three-Body Problem".
Wang Ziwen and Yang Lei are old friends who have collaborated many times. When she first heard that the project might be in preparation, she sent a WeChat inquiry to the other party. After receiving the reply of "yes but not yet confirmed to shoot", she hurriedly began to supplement the original work novel.
"I think this is an opportunity. If it is really going to start, if it is really Yang Lei, I may tell him that I want to fight for this role."

Ye Wenjie is the key link between human beings and the Trisolaran world. When she was young, she witnessed the tragedy of her father and the betrayal of her close relatives. After being framed, she entered the Red Bank Base disheartened and found that the trust of the political commissar of the base, Lei Zhicheng, was also a lie.
Desperation gave birth to paranoia, she sent a signal to the Trisolaran world, cut the rope between Lei Zhicheng and her husband Yang Weining on the cliff, and became the "commander" of the Trisolaran organization on Earth.
When reading the book, Wang Ziwen was deeply attracted by Ye Wenjie's "vigorous" character. She is extremely contradictory, calm and crazy. But this character is not very easy to play, there are many complicated emotions."
In the play, Ye Wenjie shed a lot of tears. What impressed the audience most was the time when she cried to the point of "drawing"-seeing her father's death, she first suppressed the tears, trembled all over, gradually accumulated and overflowed with emotions, and finally burst out Huge roar.
That scene was impromptu after discussion between Wang Ziwen and the director.
In her opinion, Ye Wenjie is enduring almost the whole process, and needs a scene where she loses control of her emotions, so that audiences who have never read the novel can understand her breakdown at the moment.

"There is never a big expression on her face, but she expresses all Ye Wenjie's emotions." "Is there any telepathy between Chen Jin and Wang Ziwen? They can play the same character so alike!" Often seen on social networks to such an evaluation.
"I remember when I was doing my homework, I didn't feel as if Ye Wenjie was another person. I would put myself in and think about all aspects of Ye Wenjie. I just wanted to feel her, experience her, put on her clothes, put on her shoes , to go through her life." Wang Ziwen said.
In her eyes, Ye Wenjie is a woman who "has a tiger in her heart and sniffs roses".
After marrying Yang Weining, Ye Wenjie rethought everything around her, but the tiger in her heart did not sleep.
After receiving the reply of "don't answer", she still pressed the button decisively, revealing the coordinates of the earth to Trisolaris, "I think Ye Wenjie achieved herself through her own choices."
From Ye Wenjie, she realized for the first time that pain is also charming, "It's the character who is charming, not me. I am very grateful for the audience's recognition of me, but I don't think I deserve the credit."
Showing the truth will move the audience
Before the young Ye Wenjie, the most mentioned character of Wang Ziwen was Qu Xiaoxiao.
In 2016, "Ode to Joy" became popular, and this quirky, outspoken, and love-hate "song fairy" was known to audiences all over the country.
But if she turns the clock back a few more laps, she never thought that one day she would embark on the path of acting.

When he was in junior high school, Wang Ziwen wrote down his desire to "become a star when he grows up" in his classmates, but he didn't know what kind of star he wanted to be. He just thought it was fun. Would you like to try being a singer?
Later, she was selected to go to Korea as a trainee, and this idea was sealed by her.
"Now I feel scared, how could I do this? Thanks to my ignorance and blind self-confidence back then, how can I still want to be a trainee if I sing so badly? It's really bold." she said with a smile.
After returning to China, she moved to Beijing, and by chance, Wang Ziwen received an opportunity to act. "Aunt's Post-Modern Life" was her first screen appearance as an actress.
But at the beginning of acting, she only felt nervous and anxious, and could not appreciate the happiness of an actor at all. Her biggest wish every day was to satisfy the director and not cause trouble to the scene. It was not until "Home, Nth Power" that she began to feel that "it seems a bit On the road."
In terms of acting method, Wang Ziwen admitted that he is a "relatively clumsy" person, "I have never judged whether this scene is very difficult or this scene is very simple, I can only judge whether I have achieved 100% investment in the moment , I feel that if it is done, I believe that the effect it presents is good, and I also believe that the moment when the true feelings are revealed can move the audience."
In the years after "Ode to Joy" became popular, she continued to shoot movies, because she could only shoot one or two movies a year before, and she always felt insecure. When there are many opportunities in front of her, she wants to try as long as the time is right. one time.
"The Murder Chaser" Yang Shuhua, "If Snails Have Love" Xu Xu, "Animal Management Bureau" Wu Aiai, "The Three-Body Problem" Ye Wenjie...She admitted frankly that she would not be trapped by Qu Xiaoxiao's label at all. Knowing actors is a very normal thing, "I just hope that I can receive a character I particularly like in each play, and it is enough to cooperate with a good team."

Roles and actors achieve each other
At the same time when "The Three-Body Problem" was broadcast, Wang Ziwen won the Fei Mu Honorary Best Actress Award at the 6th Pingyao International Film Festival for his role as Jue Xiao in the movie "Gentle Shell".
Back then, the little girl who dreamed of becoming a star and entered the acting industry by mistake got the "Best Actress" award for the first time in a real sense. She remembered that her voice was trembling when she came to the stage to accept the award.
With "Tender Shell", Wang Ziwen won the Fei Mu Honorary Best Actress Award at the 6th Pingyao International Film Festival.
"Gentle Shell" and "Three-Body Problem" were filmed in the same year.
If Ye Wenjie, the extremely complicated "commander", is out of reach, then Jue Xiao, the weak and forbearing manicurist, is the most inconspicuous ordinary girl around everyone.
When he first received the script, Wang Ziwen thought about adding some personality to the character, but when he actually performed it, he was attracted by the aura of Jue Xiao. She has experienced many traumas and lived a more difficult life than most people. Difficult, yet so gentle and strong.
When "Gentle Shell" finished filming and took a group photo, Wang Ziwen cried, "After playing this role, I feel that I have softened, and I also realized what real power is."
She felt what everyone said, this is the mutual achievement between the character and the actor.

"Until now, all the characters I have invested in, I still have a physical response to them, and I still have emotions."
For her, Qu Xiaoxiao who has been with her for many years is of great significance, and Ye Wenjie and Jue Xiao this time will also be a new beginning.
"I think I've been improving all the time, and that progress is not a leap forward, it's a bit by bit, every play will grow a little bit."
Compared with the previous rush, now, she feels that it is time to slow down at the right time, "Every play is a state that I like the most, and I can fully devote myself to it. If I act again, there may be more and better ones." My role is waiting for me in the future." (End)
