Actor Wang Zhi: Actors and characters achieve each other, and they must stick to what they like

Beijing, 6 Jun (Zhongxin Net) -- Many viewers know actor Wang Zhi through the movie "The Wandering Earth" that has become popular in recent years. In this sci-fi film, she interprets Han Duoduo's tenacity and coolness well.

Wang Zhi graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and starred in a series of film and television dramas after entering the entertainment industry. Among them, "Qiu Ya" in "Charlotte Troubles" has a distinct personality, which opens up her popularity.

When filming "The Wandering Earth", director Guo Fan threw an olive branch and invited her to play Han Duoduo. Wang Zhi agreed. When filming the second part, Wang Zhi cut off her long hair, and the short hair style and the playing scene of Xingyun flowing water made her get the title of "Brother Zhi" in the crew.

Talking about the characters created in the past, Wang Zhi believes that the character and the actor themselves are a relationship of mutual achievement, depending on fate. "Keep making yourself better, slowly improve your thinking ability, and as you become more mature, the things you interpret in your works will be different."

Wang Zhi's attitude to life is a simple sentence, "Choose to do what you like and always maintain a childlike mentality." ”

A rare learning opportunity

"I received an invitation when the first part of "The Wandering Earth", and I agreed to come down. But I didn't expect The Wandering Earth 2 to find me, which was an unexpected surprise for me. Recalling the experience of filming "The Wandering Earth", Wang Zhi said.

After filming two "The Wandering Earth", Wang Zhi found that Guo Fan is a very meticulous person, respects the ideas of the actors, and gives full trust during the filming process, which also allows the actors to develop their potential.

"There was a scene in the snow, Han Duoduo wore a wig after falling ill, and the family of three sat on a bench." In order to accurately describe the psychological state of the characters, Wang Zhi designed several additional ways of expression for this scene after acting according to the script prompts.

Different psychological states and interpretation methods are likely to make a line produce different effects, Wang Zhi and his partners often continue to explore during the filming process, "If you can perform a different feeling, director Guo Fan will also affirm your ideas." ”

The small half year of filming in the crew provided a rare opportunity for Wang Zhi, "When many actors are performing, I will secretly go over to watch and see how everyone creates on the spot. Each of them has merits that I can learn from. ”

Brave and fearless Han Duoduo

Brave and fearless, always bringing warmth and hope to others, this is Han Duoduo that Wang Zhi understands. "She will not be hysterical because of illness, even if she is terminally ill, she still transmits spiritual power rich in soul depth to her lover, and this belief will never disappear."

"To play a girl around twenty, you can't look middle-aged." Wang Zhi did not shy away from the difficulties brought by age to the performance at that time, "Your eyes, voice and even physical state should be restored to a youthful feeling as much as possible." ”

Before officially joining the group, Wang Zhi first did some training to strive to make himself more refreshed. After joining the group, she received systematic training with other actors to get closer to the character setting and storyline.

There is a classic picture in "The Wandering Earth 2" - Han Duoduo wears a mechanical arm and punches the villain. The lens is not long, but it takes a lot of effort to shoot. Wang Zhi listened to the action director say that as far as Han Duoduo flew out of the glass, he shot more than forty pieces at one angle.

In the crew, this kind of detailing is very common, in order to create a good viewing experience for the audience. Wang Zhi said: "The weight of the robotic arm and the frequent hanging of Weiya are not something I can accomplish alone, relying on the close cooperation of the entire crew. ”

Choose to do what you love

In fact, Wang Zhi's ability to film the fight scenes in "The Wandering Earth 2" is related to his experience of learning martial arts as a child.

She loves martial arts and insists on learning from her teacher, getting up at five o'clock every morning to train for two hours, and then practicing after school in the afternoon. "It's easy to get hurt when practicing martial arts, and then the orthopedic surgeon at my door knows me, and every time I go to visit the door with my neighbors."

It was a bit bitter, but also memorable. Wang Zhi learned a lot from this and also accumulated a tenacity, "If you like this thing, then you can stick to it." ”

"Then I went to dance and didn't understand anything, I didn't know what I could do. A senior sister said that she wanted to take the Chinese drama exam, and I learned that I could also have the opportunity to study in Beijing after graduation. Wang Zhi found a direction to work towards: become an actor.

In 2004, Wang Zhi was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama and later successfully entered the entertainment industry. In 2015, the comedy movie "Charlotte Troubles" was released, Wang Zhi played the school flower Qiuya, and her popularity rose rapidly.

After becoming popular because of "Qiu Ya", Wang Zhi did not immediately take over the drama as expected by the outside world, but ushered in a period of precipitation. During this period, she watched a lot of classic movies, immersed herself in reading or traveling, and expanded her horizons.

"This road of life is stop-and-go, you can't be busy all the time, and you can't be idle all the time. Opportunities to rely on oneself to strive for, maintain a good state and attitude, is also a very pleasant thing for oneself. Wang Zhi said.

Present the flesh and blood of each character

Back to real life, Wang Zhi has a directness similar to Han Duoduo's between words. After the broadcast of "Charlotte Troubles" earlier, some friends said bluntly, "You are still more like Ma Dongmei." ”

From Qiu Ya to Han Duoduo, Wang Zhi has successfully created two characters with very different personalities, but does not think that this is a transformation: "Actors should present the flesh and blood of each character when receiving different roles. People can see different mes because I'm in the middle of the role. ”

She has a set of criteria for measuring what makes a good actor, "After you play this play and this character, it can make people think deeply and give people strength, I think this is a good work, a good character." ”

"As an actor, I must devote myself wholeheartedly to a play when I receive it in order to complete the role well." Wang Zhi regards "hard work" as the primary condition for his acting progression, "Talent is not available to everyone, it depends on acquired hard work and persistence." ”

She practiced this very well: when filming "The Wandering Earth 2", she pushed off other work, focused most of her energy on filming, how to interpret "Han Duoduo", plus preparation training, and basically spent nearly a year for this role.

As an actor, it's hard to predict what kind of characters you'll encounter in the future. Wang Zhi said that after that, he wanted to star in a comedy action movie, "The combination of comedy and action movies may be a big test for acting skills, and I want to try it." ”

When talking about the topic of the third part of "The Wandering Earth", her voice was light and full of expectation, "The first two parts wrote Han Duoduo's ending a little 'ruthless', I don't know if she can be resurrected. If I have the opportunity, of course I would like to continue to star. (End)
