As a phenomenon-level explosive drama this spring, "Mountain and River Order" opened low and went high, hot search continued, continuously dominated the list of cat's eye and many other authoritative lists, douban score as high as 8.6, the score on the largest overseas video rating website imdb as high as 9.9; since the end of last month, the real-time popularity has remained high, setting off a hot discussion of "national style new martial arts".
Actor Wang Ruolin is one of the main creators of "Mountain and River Order", playing the smiley villain Zhao Jing throughout the beginning and end. Zhao Jingyin endured for many years, vicious and vicious, and the tragedies of the main plot were forged by his own hands. Different from the previous Road of Internet villains, Wang Ruolin created the evil Zhao Jinghou, not only perfectly avoided the Internet violence that villains inevitably experienced, but also favored by netizens, becoming a frequent hot search "Cybertron Father". The reverse exit of Wang Ruolin and "Righteous Father Zhao Jing" has become a strange landscape in the chain effect of "Mountain and River Order". He said, "The role of Zhao Jing is the culmination of my first forty years of life. ”
Open any browser and type "World of Martial Arts" in the web search bar, most of the terms are related to Wang Ruolin and "Righteous Father Zhao Jing". The comment area where fans are active, the Weibo square, and the bullet screens of various broadcast platforms can be seen everywhere "understand". "Mountain and River Order" exploded out of the circle, Wang Ruolin's own efforts to create the stem also broke the circle, the new influx of fans and unknown netizens have asked: "the world of martial arts", what does it mean?
The fermentation of the wuxia terrier was unexpected - the time was pushed back to March 1st, the same day Wang Ruolin released the role propaganda poster, some netizens asked Zhao Jing in the comment area about the cp emotional line in the drama, he replied, "This is the world of martial arts, understand? understand？ ”
In "Mountain and River Order", zhao Jing, the three white heroes, is the ultimate villain of the main plot, cowardly and kind on the surface, and sneaky and ambitious inside. He has been painstakingly operating for more than twenty years, bent on plotting the position of the lord of the Wulin League. He recruited his subordinates in the name of receiving righteous sons, and the plot is known to have three righteous sons, namely the Scorpion King, Song Huairen of the Yueyang Sect, and Xie Wuhao. Zhao Jing used these righteous sons to mutilate Zhongliang and remove obstacles to dominating Wulin, so he was also ridiculed by netizens as "calling Daddy Wulin".
Wang Ruolin, in line with the original intention of defending his martial arts dream, seriously replied to netizens. But he never expected that his serious and even serious reply would quickly trigger a heated discussion, and then set off a tug-of-war mutual revelry between him and his fans. "Mountain and River Order" exploded, "Yoshiko Management Master", "Electronics Factory Director", "World of Martial Arts" also became a happy code; fans also actively produced, editing the daily life of Zhao Jing and Yoshiko into various videos and drawing q-version comics.
Zhao Jing has done many evils in the play, but Wang Ruolin has earned a large wave of popularity outside the play, becoming the "Saibo Yi Father" that fans are talking about, gaining many Internet righteous sons and daughters, and realizing another sense of "calling Daddy Wulin".
Talking about the amazing heat caused by the "martial arts terrier", Wang Ruolin's own attitude is completely different from the appearance of tongue lotus flowers and gags on the Internet, "I will act honestly, painfully and happily, and my true feelings are revealed inside and outside the play." In the face of the fans who play crazy in their comment area, Wang Ruolin also has a helpless bitter smile as an elder, "I was like holding a 40-meter knife into the ocean ball, so angry that I found that I couldn't pull out the knife, they were a group of ocean balls!" ”
Originally wanted to dominate the martial forest, the result was "called Daddy Wulin", but he could not fight and joined, Wang Ruolin quickly accepted this magical trend and mingled with the Saibo Yizi.
However, to this day, reviewing the episodes and characters, he still believes that this is his martial arts jianghu, happy to be revenge, vigorous. The role of Zhao Jing is different from ordinary villains, with large contrasts before and after, solid layer density, and extremely challenging. Wang Ruolin specially bought the original book to see, to help himself familiar with the characters, and then there is the constant communication with the director, repeatedly pondering what kind of person Zhao Jing is, "The directors have listed a lot of martial arts characters for me, including some villains of tianlong eight parts, I have studied." ”
Wang Ruolin did take the martial arts script, played the martial arts villain, and tried his best to make his role flesh and blood, three-dimensional and vivid, "Almost every scene has my stuff in it, the original script did not have it, I will rub it in little by little." ”
After all, "Calling Daddy Wulin" is not a windfall that comes from a few jokes, only when the characters really stand on the actors, there is such a chasing carnival concocted by fans.
Historically, IP adaptation, from the original book to the script, to the actor's interpretation, each process will have a huge impact on the characters. Zhao Jing in the original work of "Mountain and River Order" is only about a few hundred words, and the content is enriched after the expansion of the script, but in the portrayal and presentation of complex human nature, there are always some places where the pen has not reached. Wang Ruolin carefully sculpted almost every scene of Zhao Jing, giving this relatively flat villain a flowing arc of light. And this process requires the actor's own mental strength and expressiveness to rely on.
As early as the beginning of the popularity of "Righteous Father", Wang Ruolin's resume was turned over by fans: graduated from China University of Political Science and Law majoring in law, obtained a master's degree in international economic law from City University of Hong Kong, participated in the CCTV "Challenge Host" competition and won nine consecutive rings, joined Hong Kong Phoenix Satellite TV to become a news anchor, and resigned from the anchor job six years later to officially dream of showbiz, until now.
A highly qualified student in law, a well-known host, an actor, Wang Ruolin's life experience in the first 40 years can be described as smooth and wonderful. Some netizens followed Zhao Jing's highlight performance clip, curious about what kind of character the actor behind him was, after seeing his "tossing" and wonderful life resume, he could not help but sigh: This is the real hero.
The so-called chivalrous people, one is happy in the rivers and lakes, the second is for the people of the country, and the third is to live an unbridled and generous life.
Wang Ruolin has enviable achievements in the lawyer and hosting industry, if he can take root safely, such a lifetime is also an achievement, after all, dreams are luxurious and cruel in front of real life. However, he inherited himself and had no remorse, even if he was deducted from the evaluation of "a good hand of cards played poorly", he also insisted, "You must not live this time in vain." "If you can firmly follow your heart and not be bound by worldly fame and fortune, isn't it the encounter of Wang Ruolin on this journey?"
Getting out of the comfort zone is not a simple sentence, and the experience he described as "climbing from negative numbers to positive numbers" is undoubtedly hard, but it has also become the nourishment of the performance. When I met Zhao Jing, Wang Ruolin was forty years old, "This is the most important role in my acting experience, all the experience and experience are used, and it is also considered to have done everything in my power and expended all my strength to perform." ”
Zhao Jingqiren, judging from the state presented in the original script, is a relatively flat villain. Plain and straightforward bad, "Really, this is so boring, I broke him hard and broke it into my Zhao Jing." When Wang Ruolin designed the tone of the character, he spent more effort on the tension embodiment of the horizontal and wide depth, so that this person was more thorough and complex, and at the same time, there must be some feelings relative to badness, and there is no goodness and love in nature. He recalled the process of deduction, the later it was, there was less of a technical level of deliberate action, more of a substitute for his own experience, "Zhao Jing's tangled struggles, including revenge, I can understand." ”
Unlike the glowing resume after the age of twenty, Wang Ruolin experienced loneliness in his youth, because he was weak and thin, and became an object of exclusion and isolation. "Young Zhao Jing acted particularly well, and I immediately thought of myself at that time, who was also bullied." There was a scar in the corner of his eye, which was caused by long-term anxiety that caused a large stye to fall, and it fell after surgery, "I remember very clearly the negative emotions of being bullied at that time, so Zhao Jing's psychology, I can feel it too much." ”
The year he switched from being a host to acting, Wang Ruolin was thirty-two years old, and he promised himself that he would catch fire within five years. It's a pity that time and time again, there is no fire, "often with others nod their heads, begging grandpa to tell grandma, hard work is often the case." "The discomfort of the song and the encounter of refuting the ups and downs, just happen to be the dormancy of Zhao Jing in the early stage of the standard, this facet of human nature is in line with the logic of life, Wang Ruolin's performance is shaped by his own encounters, so it is full of real texture."
After reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, in his cognition, the complexity of human nature is not defined. Therefore, people like Zhao Jing are not absolutely single, no matter how evil this person is, he also has residual "love" on his body, and there is conflict and collision to see. The different reactions, performances, and even rich attributes of film and television characters are the attachments of the charm of drama.
In some previous interviews, Wang Ruolin has mentioned the slap scene many times, and the tears after playing the Scorpion King are that the character retains 30% of his feelings in his heart, rather than being completely ruthless. "At that time, the director did not allow me to cry, and I immediately understood what direction he was going to set for the character, and if I couldn't break him, I would have to act like that in the future." Wang Ruolin fought, and it was also from that scene that Zhao Jing rubbed his own complex feelings from the "evil" at the text level, "I also designed the part called the name, which was the only time I called the full name of the scorpion, the whole "Mountain and River Order", I shouted once in that scene, the scorpion revealed Liubo. ”
After the end of "Mountain and River Order", Wang Ruolin began to share Zhao Jing's deleted scenes on Weibo and behind-the-scenes shooting. Avalanches, decisive battles and other important plays are presented in the form of text commentary. His own writing skills are good, he speaks very carefully, has a strong sense of picture, and his depiction of the psychology of the characters is also accurate. His sharing allows fans immersed in the "world of martial arts" to explore new channels and learn more about the story of Zhao Jing and the Scorpion King.
"Compared with Wen Zhou, although the proportion of the scene is different, the emotional weight is the same, but the emotion between me and Scorpion is the love of father and son." Father-son love is a common sentiment in the world, and at both ends of the scale it is not a 0.5 and 0.5 relationship, but a 1 and 1 relationship. In terms of concentration and thickness, our emotions and warm weeks are equal, but the angles are different. Wang Ruolin explained.
Zhao Jing was born in a humble background, and only through nepotism did he become one of the famous disciples of martial arts, coupled with the lack of talent in martial arts, the sensitive and inferior personality, and the various mistakes of his youth, resulting in deep resentment and calculation. In his heart, lust for power and revenge overwhelmed everything. This is the basic foothold. After Wang Ruolin followed the logical motives of the characters, he admitted that Zhao Jing was domineering and cold in his bones, even in the father-son relationship, he was also the overriding party, with a strong desire for control, "you can be proud of him (the Scorpion King), you can spoil him, but the emotional order must be maintained by Zhao Jing." ”
But in addition, Wang Ruolin also set another support for Zhao Jingxuan: redemption and compensation. This is the part of the text that Zhao Jing did not have, and Wang Ruolin gave him warmth in the process of revision, "The scene where the Qingfeng Sword Sect wants to kill the Scorpion King in the cave, I play the void and the snake, I am perfunctory Mo Huaiyang, maybe another person to play is to make up my mind." But in my case, it is absolutely impossible. Even when he learned of the Scorpion King's betrayal, Zhao Jing did not show too much anger, Wang Ruolin said, "No matter how much their children rebel against their parents, their parents will not really care." At that time, I said in my heart, you stupid, until you die, you have not penetrated me. ”
Unlike Wen Zhou's two-way redemption, Zhao Jing's raising of the Scorpion King is to make up for the lack of his youth, cultivate a successor similar to himself, and inherit the foundation of painstaking management. There is love in this, of course. The plot of the name "Zhao Scorpion", which was ridiculed by netizens, is actually a very solemn entrustment in Wang Ruolin's view, "equivalent to the proposed edict, and there are people who will succeed jiangshan." After I died, these things were left to him. Including the loneliness and hopelessness in the eyes of the young Zhao Jing, Wang Ruolin was very impressed by the actor's performance, "Zhao Jing has always hoped to have an opportunity to give himself, since this opportunity has not come, he will not be stingy when he has the ability to give another young man a chance." For him, the scorpion is the young man, and cultivating the scorpion is like compensating for himself. ”
This friendship also continued outside the play, the actor of the Scorpion King, Li Daikun, was a whole round younger than Wang Ruolin, and Wang Ruolin was very sure of the acting skills and endowments of this junior, "The thing of playing is a fist and a fist stacked upwards, the opponent actor is not good, I am useless no matter how good." He remembered trying to play with Li Daikun, "The first scene I came to the spirit, he is really a good actor." ”
Wang Ruolin feels that Li Daikun has many similarities with himself, the zodiac sign, the strength and understanding of acting, all like. "He and I all touched on the spot. That's where I trust him, he's smart and picks up things quickly. Moreover, in order to create a dramatic atmosphere, Wang Ruolin and Li Daikun almost never talk about the drama, all by means of tacit understanding on the spot, "If I talk to him, he will not be able to play that feeling of hurt and shock, and this 'dislocation' between us and the information is not equal, which can help cultivate the emotions in the play." ”
After working together to "break through the rivers and lakes", Wang Ruolin did not hide his appreciation for Li Daikun, "Sometimes even people are not divided, I think as soon as I see Li Daikun, my eyes are full of my twenties." ”
"Mountain and River Order" ended, the jianghu belonging to Zhao Jing came to an end, and Wang Ruolin's jianghu story continued.
On April 9th, Wang Ruolin held a lecture at East China University of Political Science and Law to talk about his views on the legal development of the entertainment industry. The atmosphere at the scene was warm, and Huazheng students lined up early to meet this erudite and jumpy "righteous father".
Mu Qiang is the trend of the times, netizens in the message in addition to the "righteous father" happy mutual pity, more and more is the admiration for Wang Ruolin's legendary experience, hoping to draw motivation from his life experience. In some previous online exchanges, there were also many students standing at the crossroads of life who talked about their confusion, and Wang Ruolin replied one by one, encouraging them to stick to their dreams and not compromise.
However, Wang Ruolin, who is behind the bright resume, does not recognize his academic identity and learning talent, and in our conversation, he also said many times, "I am really not particularly bright in learning, it is completely dependent on that sub-axis strength, suffering." ”
It has nothing else to do with it, this is the will that grows in the heart, but whenever the goal is identified, it is unswervingly determined and even achieved.
Although both bachelor's and master's degrees have studied law, Wang Ruolin himself is very emotional, highly sensitive, and meticulous in his depiction of memory fragments, "When I read, I knew that I was a little stupid, and I was riveted enough to change this situation." When the roommates slept, I cated in the quilt and turned on a light to continue learning. Sometimes they get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and when they look at my quilt, it emits a faint light, like a grave. In the first half of his growth experience, what he most hoped to convey was also this bravery and will not to accept defeat, "especially in the summer, nestled in the quilt, the headlights baked, I remember deeply, bitter." But it has to be learned. ”
Sweet and bitter, impermanent and fatalistic, to some extent, Wang Ruolin's treatment of life's toss is dramatic, when he was a child, he wanted to be a real estate developer, but also thought of being a politician, from a high-achieving student in law, to a host, to an actor, many of his traits seem to be contributing to performance, rather than the profession and profession he chose at the beginning.
"I'm a sentimental person, so I can't do the law." Studying the Fa is really painful, but there is no way, you have to choose a good school according to the score, otherwise I will be blind and study hard for twelve years, and I will also give an account to my family. "Go to CCTV, Phoenix SATELLITE TV, all the way how bustling and noisy, but it is only Wang Ruolin's temporary stop, going around, "By the sixth year, I really couldn't stay any longer, resigned my job and went out to shoot, at that moment I felt relieved and could really do what I liked." ”
He described dreaming of showbiz as entering a playground he liked, "and those repressed feelings before were gone." ”
This relaxation comes from the spirit, not the matter. It is difficult to follow the original heart, and the original heart that Wang Ruolin agrees with: one is self-knowledge, and the other is to do his best. This uneven road of acting, he just relied on the two words of his heart and persevered.
Earlier, Wang Ruolin had traveled to nearly 100 countries and regions, to the Antarctic, the Arctic, and to slums, gaining insight into heaven and earth and observing human feelings. The hard reading of youth is enough to prove that the will is firm, and the tossing and losing of young people so far is the solidity of a person's true heart. After seeing the vast world, we will understand the intersection of small and broad, and only when we have seen more people and walked more roads will we understand that only a truly ardent heart and love can preserve the youth of a child.
