This high-sweet youth drama, from the beginning of the broadcast of more than 100 million to the finale of various topics to the top, has been the attention of the audience, and achieved the first in April and the second in May.
Zhao Zhiwei, the actor of Zhao Guanchao in the play, also successfully attracted fans because of the high attention and charm of the play, and gathered a fairly high popularity and popularity.
Zhao Zhiwei played the role of "Guo Owed Brother" Zhao Guanchao, so what does the "Guo Owed Brother" look like in real life?
Recently, the film and television word-of-mouth list "One Film and One Person Talk" column exclusively interviewed Zhao Zhiwei, and deeply and multi-dimensionally understood the growth path of our "national debt brother".
Being an actor is a turning point in life and a temptation
Entering the art school to study dance was accidental, but it was Zhao Zhiwei's own choice. Although at the beginning of his enrollment, his performance was not recognized by the teacher, Zhao Zhiwei has always been self-motivated, never gave up, and finally became the bully of the dance class with his own strength.
In 2011, Zhao Zhiwei once again ushered in a turning point in his destiny. Before the college entrance examination, he bought a train ticket to run to the Shanghai Theater Academy examination, and by chance, he got the first place in the examination, majoring in the dance department, and also got a scholarship.
This choice made Zhao Zhiwei very confident and slowly had his own ideas. During his school years, he collaborated with his classmates in choreography, choreographed and dancered in several musicals, and participated in the Seoul International Dance Competition, where he won the third prize.
If he keeps jumping, Zhao Zhiwei may become a successful dancer. However, on the eve of graduation, Zhao Zhiwei was told that the knee injury was very serious and he was not suitable for dance work. This forced him to give up his plan to stay in school as a teacher and find another way out.
It was a very dark day, and Zhao Zhiwei said that he could not tell his parents about his predicament, for fear that they would be worried. Many times, he silently bears everything by himself.
However, God always closes one door and then opens another window for you.
Just when Zhao Zhiwei was worried about the future, someone said to him, let's become an actor. Being an actor can experience different life and try a variety of life experiences. For Zhao Zhiwei, such a suggestion is undoubtedly extremely tempting.
So he began the second butterfly change of his life - to become an actor.
Treat yourself as Zhao Guanchao, and the role will "live"
Getting the role of Zhao Guanchao in "I Only Like You" is a kind of luck, Zhao Zhiwei said that the biggest advantage of being an actor is that you can experience different lives.
For Zhao Zhiwei, who pays special attention to family affection, the identity of the only child makes his growth feel lonely, so he has always wanted to have a brother and sister to accompany him to grow up. And Zhao Guanchao's love for his sister and the protection of family affection made him very moved. If you experience the life of your pet sister in the role, it is also a kind of compensation for the regret of real life. Therefore, he took over the role of Zhao Guanchao.
Before participating in "I Only Like You", Zhao Zhiwei has acted in many works: Gu Zhi in "Ultimate Class 4"; Huo Guang, a disciple of the Heavenly Daoist Academy, in "The Book of Choosing Heaven"; Gongsun Ju, a strategist; Zhang Ruochen, a "cold teenager" in "Azure 50 Meters"; Yang Yi, a "little demon king of the mixed world" in the drama "I am only one you away from the world", and so on.
Although those characters do not attract as much attention as Zhao Guanchao, in Zhao Zhiwei's view, those are rare experiences and experiences. For a young actor, such an experience is indispensable.
Talking about the understanding of the role of Zhao Guanchao, Zhao Zhiwei is full of interest, and the reason why this role makes the audience like it is because this role is very real, especially those who have brothers and sisters in the family may experience it more deeply.
In the play, Zhao Guanchao and his sister Zhao Qiaoyi were born in a restructured family and were relatively economically strapped. The relationship between the brother and sister and the stepfather and biological father is more delicate. As the eldest son in the family, Zhao Guanchao felt that he had the obligation and responsibility to protect his sister, so he did his best to bear a lot of things for his sister.
Because his biological father had abused his sister at home, Zhao Guanchao still refused to forgive him. In order not to let his sister be teased by his classmates because of her shabby dress, he used the money he saved from his part-time job to buy her sister a pair of designer shoes. Because Yu Miaomiao was not inferior to his sister, he decisively broke up with her, and Yan Mo misunderstood Qiao Yi and made his sister sad, and he immediately stood up for her...
Zhao Guanchao's attitude towards his sister is actually a difficult point in shaping the role. Zhao Zhiwei said that in order to grasp the measure of this role, we must go deep into the heart of this role and fully integrate ourselves into the spiritual world of this role. Only when he becomes Zhao Guanchao, can the characters in the play really "live".
Substitute yourself into the emotional world of "Zhao Guanchao" and mobilize the real "emotional experience" you have had in your heart, and you can play the whole role. This is also the place where Zhao Zhiwei feels that he is most successful after starring in Zhao Guanchao.
Facts have proved that the role of the heart to play, must be able to touch people's hearts, so Zhao Guan tide fire, Zhao Zhiwei fire, he was affectionately called "brother of the country" by fans.
Have the courage to try, in order to go further
After the launch of "I Only Like You", Zhao Zhiwei was called "Brother Guo" by fans. For artists to be labeled, Zhao Zhiwei is not exclusive. He said that the reason why everyone gave such a label is a recognition of the role he plays, and it is also an affirmation of his performance.
However, Zhao Zhiwei is also very clear in his heart that when an artist is labeled by the audience as a role, it also means that it takes more time and effort to get out of his comfort zone in order to get more new role types.
Therefore, Zhao Zhiwei, who has not yet passed his 25th birthday, has soberly realized that he may encounter the bottleneck period that his predecessors have had. "Now that I'm 25 years old, sometimes I'm sorry I didn't act in a particularly good youth film, but after I'm 25 years old, there may be very few people looking for me to act in a youth film."
For Zhao Zhiwei, who debuted recently, his growth path is still very long. He is willing to try more, if there is a particularly good villain, I will choose, a lot of villains are in an extreme state, in the play can break through some of their own limitations, which is a very testing thing for the actor. "I am willing to keep trying, keep breaking through, and all the experience will become a medal on the road to growth."
Throughout the interview process, Zhao Zhiwei showed great warmth and humility, without the impetuousness and arrogance of some young people now, and perhaps for him who left home young, he had to bear more things.
Looking back at his transition from dance to acting, Zhao Zhiwei always felt that he was lucky. "At the threshold of every choice, the things encountered and the people encountered, including the role of Zhao Guanchao this time, are very lucky things. There is no choice to regret, and staring at the previous choices is right or wrong, it is not good to live in front of you. ”
For the actor industry, 25-year-old Zhao Zhiwei has his own understanding and has always maintained respect and reverence.
For him, the road to acting has only just begun!
Excerpts from the interview:
Film and television word-of-mouth list "one film and one person to talk": The TV series "I Only Like You" is very popular, especially Zhao Guanchao, who you played, which attracted a large number of fans. Are you really such a romantic person who can say so many love words?
Zhao Zhiwei: Actually, I am a person who does not know how to talk about love. Love words must come from the heart, if it is a real confession, it is difficult to tell. Some of the words zhao Guanchao said seemed to be inadvertent, but they were actually from the heart.
One shadow and one person to talk: Playing such a person who can talk about love, has the ability to talk to himself improve?
Zhao Zhiwei: Boys should still learn to be romantic, learn to say some love words, of course, romance can not only listen to the mouth, but also reflected in action, this point girls must be vigilant (laughs).
One shadow and one person to talk: Zhao Guanchao is an alternative "sister control", known by the audience as a spoiled sister demon, on the surface poisonous tongue mutual hatred is daily, but in private silently pay for his sister. How do you understand Zhao Guanchao's complex emotions?
Zhao Zhiwei: I think Zhao Guanchao is still full of love for Qiao Yi, the reason why he is afraid of his sister is that he wants his sister to grow up in a relaxed environment, he helped her bear a lot of bad things, including her stepfather, other dark things, Guan Chao helped his sister resist. Then, for example, the need for money, tuition, some of the more embarrassing and difficult things, are to help my sister resist and want her to grow up happily.
One Shadow One Person Talk: Do you approve of Zhao Guanchao's form of expression of feelings for his sister?
Zhao Zhiwei: I recognize it. I've asked people who have brothers or sisters in their lives, and that's how they express their love. Usually fighting with his sister, he will break his head and drop things, but once his sister is bullied by others, he is going to rush to the front line. (Zhao Guanchao) This character is liked by people, but also because of the truth.
One Shadow, One Man Talk: Where do you think the most successful place in the character of Zhao Guanchao you created is?
Zhao Zhiwei: It's just true! Words and silences of such love, such people, are very rare in life. Guan Chao is a more real person, there will really be such a person in life, all day long, greasy mouth, slippery tongue, he also has fragile, bad places, some bad problems. But he is a very three-dimensional person, and you can find his shadow around you. So it will be liked by people.
One shadow and one person to talk: Zhao Guanchao' character is handsome in the play, has good grades, and has high emotional intelligence, is it close to your real personality?
Zhao Zhiwei: Zhao Guanchao is more perfect, at his age there is a maturity that should not be had, and there is a high emotional intelligence that is not commensurate with age. I myself don't have the highest emotional intelligence of his age.
One shadow and one person talk: If the characters in the play are inconsistent with their real personalities, how do they deal with this disparity?
Zhao Zhiwei: Actually, there is still some gap between me and the role of Guan Chao, when I first entered the crew, the director felt that my performance was not open enough, and then I thought about how to solve it. I discussed with the acting teacher, or need to find some things in the heart, such as mutual hatred with my sister, in fact, there are some things in my heart, enlarge these things in my personality; watch some film and television drama materials; observe some friends around me, get along with each other, find that point, and then zoom in, break through, and enter that role. When you feel that you are 100% Zhao Guanchao, you are doing everything right. In the process of acting, many things are improvised, many things are designed by yourself, you said this sentence, made an action, is to watch the tide.
One shadow and one person talking: What was the biggest opportunity to take over this script in the first place?
Zhao Zhiwei: Actually, I have read the original novel. When I first started watching it, I liked this play very much, and I especially wanted to play Guan Tide. This drama has more family dramas, with father, to sister. In fact, I was relatively lonely growing up, only having children and not having a sister. Acting in this play can also be regarded as making up for this regret in my life.
One Shadow One Man Talk: How many points did you rate your performance in this play?
Zhao Zhiwei: Pass. I feel that I still have a lot of places to grow and improve, and I am very grateful to everyone for liking the role of Guan Chao, and I am also very grateful for the role of Guan Tide, which has brought me so many things.
One shadow and one person talking: What is the biggest gain in this drama?
Zhao Zhiwei: The biggest gain is that there has been a breakthrough in performance and a new understanding of performance. Start to judge the quality of the script yourself, and when you want to play this character, you will not add a little score. In the past, I only thought one-sidedly from the script, but now I start to cut into real life and think about the three-dimensional, all-round things of this character. It's something that makes you grow and reap the rewards.
One shadow and one person talking: Is there a role you particularly want to play now?
Zhao Zhiwei: I think it's quite contradictory to be an actor. For example, now that I am 25 years old, sometimes I regret not acting in a particularly good youth film, but after the age of 25, few people look for you to act in youth films. I would love to play a criminal investigation theme, to play a deep role like a policeman, but everyone will think that your experience is not enough, and your acting skills may not be enough. Everyone may think that Zhao Zhiwei acting in idol dramas is not willing to recognize you and trust you, which is a place where they are distressed. But I still hope to play some deep roles, so that the audience feels that Zhao Zhiwei can not only play youth films, but also play other roles.
One shadow and one person talk: Many idol actors will give up some opportunities to play villain roles in order to maintain their image. If this happens, what do you choose?
Zhao Zhiwei: I will not, if there is a particularly good villain, I will choose. If an actor can play a villain very well, it is also very powerful. For example, a murderous demon, this kind of role can not be touched in life, in the play can break through some of their own limitations, in this extreme state, it is also very challenging to the actor.
One shadow and one person talk: You studied dance for more than ten years earlier, but finally because of injury, you chose to change careers to become an actor, is this a twist of your destiny? Is this change a kind of luck or helplessness for your growth and ideal realization?
Zhao Zhiwei: When I was a child, learning to dance was not recognized, and I could only catch up a little bit later. Then going to college was also a process of being slowly recognized, and I firmed up my idea of being a good dancer, and at that time my dream was to go abroad to dance. After graduation, I was injured, and it was a particularly dark period. Later, as an actor, I could experience different lives and try various things, which was very tempting for me. Although sometimes, when you see your classmates dancing, your heart will still feel uncomfortable, after all, it is a dream that has been pursued for more than ten years, but God closes one window for you, and he will open another window for you. Now I have a new understanding of acting, including some time ago, and I like to receive flowers and applause on the stage of drama.
One film and one person to talk: Our film and television reputation list "one film and one person to talk" column has a fixed section, if you let you choose a favorite recommendation from the film and television works you have seen to netizens, which one will you recommend? Why?
Zhao Zhiwei: I recommend "Meet Love in the Corner of the World", this movie does not have too many waves, there is no love and hate, just a very warm story related to music. After reading it, you will feel that life is very delicate, everyone's choices and encounters, everyone's life is actually very plain, not that life is full of surprises all the time, which is very good.
