Beijing, April 4 (Zhongxin Net) -- Chen Ruoxuan, who has little talk since he was a child, talks about movies and roles as the key to opening his chatterbox.

The costume martial arts drama "Shadow of Mountains and Rivers" recently ended, Chen Ruoxuan played by Lu Zheng, a brocade guard who has been carrying the secret of his father's murder since he was a child, and he adheres to the belief of "never letting go of an evil person", pursuing the mystery of his father's death all the way.

When talking about Lu Zheng, Chen Ruoxuan seemed to be telling the story of an old friend, and he poured a lot of effort into this role. In the interview, he expressed more than once that he hoped that "Shadow of Mountains and Rivers" could be filmed for the second part, and he liked the role of Lu Zheng and himself when he played Lu Zheng.

For the sake of the character, you can only be cruel to yourself

Lu Zhengren, who is cold by nature, doesn't say much, and netizens describe him as "a little crazy on his body". In this regard, Chen Ruoxuan responded with a sentence that Lu Zheng said, "To rule the chaotic world, you must be fierce." He explained that if a person does not have enough belief and persistence, it is difficult to change some things, so Lu Zheng has to work hard to achieve his goals through some means.

Unlike Lu Zheng, who is ruthless to others, he is also ruthless to himself. Chen Ruoxuan said that he was not so cruel to himself before, but the role will give him the charm of character.

This time filming "Shadow of Mountains and Rivers", there is a scene in the script that requires toplessness, "I want Lu Zheng to look like a qualified brocade guard, the kind of clothes that look thin and undressed." I practiced hard for more than 100 days to build 8-pack abs, but the shot was cut off, leaving only a close-up of the card face. Chen Ruoxuan said that this is only a small part of what he has paid for the role.

As a martial arts drama, the martial arts scenes of "Shadow of Mountains and Rivers" are also real knives and guns, striving to be real and shocking. Chen Ruoxuan especially thanked the film's martial arts director Cao Hua, because filming scenes is really a very tiring thing. At that time, they were in Hengdian, and in the summer of more than 40 degrees, they had to wear more than 20 pounds of leather armor, and they held a knife in their hands, and the equipment of the whole body added up to more than 30 pounds.

In this case, when filming a martial arts scene, every time Chen Ruoxuan finishes filming, he must drink a bottle of Huo Xiang Zhengqi Water, "otherwise he will really faint." Chen Ruoxuan was glad that he had practiced sanda and fighting before, and he had some kung fu foundation, otherwise he really couldn't complete these movements. In order to make the martial arts action more ornamental, he will also add some of his own thinking and design.

Really listening, seeing, and feeling is the secret of Chen Ruoxuan's quick entry into the play. Don't think about how to "act", but try to let yourself into the role, and the true feelings will naturally be revealed. There is a scene in the play where Lu Zheng's good brother Xie Kengran is killed for him, "One day I returned to the yard and wanted to buy this house and give it to his children and wife." When I saw that child, I burst into tears. ”

Chen Ruoxuan recalled that this scene really touched him, reminding him of Xie Kengran's words, "He can't see the child." Thinking of this, he immediately entered Lu Zheng's emotions.

Irreplaceable "imperfection"

Because of the cooperation in "The Shadow of Mountains and Rivers", Chen Ruoxuan and Zhang Yunlong have become very good friends, and their personalities are also complementary, one is still and one moves, one "social fear" and one "social cow". A while ago, they went to sweep the building in order to promote the new drama, and Chen Ruoxuan would be a little uncomfortable when he saw the crowd, "Fortunately, Brother Long is by my side." He can talk to anyone, and I just do my own thing. ”

Chen Ruoxuan said that he is a person who is willing to accept challenges, but he also has self-knowledge and can distinguish between priorities and priorities. He sang the episode of the same name of "Shadow of Mountains and Rivers" with Zhang Yunlong, and Zhang Yunlong also recommended him to participate in music variety shows. "I said I can't come, I can't come, that's too hard. If I really had a challenge, I could try, but at the moment I think it's a bit difficult. ”

Becoming a director is one of the challenges that Chen Ruoxuan is most interested in and working on at the moment, shooting films in his favorite sci-fi genre, and the story revolves around robots.

Recently, the topic of artificial intelligence is extremely hot, and "science fiction fan" Chen Ruoxuan has long begun to pay attention. Although artificial intelligence has entered many fields, he believes that actors will not be replaced by AI in the future.

"Although artificial intelligence is artificial, I have read a lot of information, machines can be more perfect than humans, and the difference between humans and machines is their imperfection. So I think no matter how perfect the machine is, it is still a robot, and the people with shortcomings are alive. ”

Chen Ruoxuan couldn't hide his heart that liked science fiction, "Do you know that we don't have time for the next dimension?" His eyes lit up at once, he asked the reporter, and he couldn't wait for an answer before continuing to preach, "The future has no concept of time, regardless of modern and ancient, tomorrow or yesterday."

He also mentioned "Journey to the West", one of China's four famous books, "Don't you think it's actually our most famous science fiction story in China?" It talks a lot about "one day in the sky and one year underground", and there are really such things in the universe. ”

He is fascinated by the mysteries of the universe, and unknown stories inspire creativity, so Chen Ruoxuan's first film as a director chose soft science fiction, and the short film will also meet the audience at this year's Beijing Film Festival.

The actor is in the blessing to know the blessing

The first time he became a director, there were more than 70 people in the group, and Chen Ruoxuan said that at the beginning, he could feel that some people had doubts about him as a director, because it was not clear whether he had on-site control ability, shooting ability, and the ability to mobilize actors.

But on the fifth day of shooting, "I was very touched that you could feel everyone's recognition of you." Some staff members came to tell me, saying that Ruoxuan didn't think that you could do it, and this cooperation was very happy, and it was not chaotic at all. ”

Chen Ruoxuan said that this directorial experience has benefited him a lot, "My biggest feeling is that actors should know blessings in blessings, because it is the happiest profession, and many staff members behind the scenes work harder." I also learned a lot of things that I didn't dabble in as an actor, which will feed back to the actors themselves, making me know more about the details of acting. ”

Chen Ruoxuan, born in 1994, will enter the door of 30 next year. Hearing that he was 30 years old, Chen Ruoxuan first "clarified": "I am 28 years old now, and I am still 6 months away from reaching 29 years old. Of course, Chen Ruoxuan also once described his 30-year-old "appearance": "At the age of 30, I hope to be more responsible, shoot more good dramas, and become a big boy in his thirties." ”

- "Would you be tempted to stay in the 20s?" ”

- "I just want to seize the time." ”

Chen Ruoxuan knows that time cannot be retained, and what he can do is to seize every opportunity now to spell out a future of his own. Dreams must be had, but hard work is something you must do for a lifetime.

"As an actor, my goal is to be able to play better roles and have good works for people to see. In fact, actors serve the public, and when I am an audience, I also want to see good works, which are all the same. (End)
