Mango TV's "Out of the Line, First Love" just closed has such a scene for the audience to relish:
Lu Xinyi, one of the protagonists, walked step by step to the opposite boy, the eyes were full of joy and more expectation, "Do you like me", under a question, the boy slowly opened his heart, the whole person softened, and Lu Xinyi finally smiled sincerely, rushed over and hugged his sweetheart.
In the play, Lu Xinyi is different from the naïve and romantic female image of the previous idol drama, but takes the initiative to attack, disregarding shyness and boldly pursuing the "male god" in her heart, and the more frustrated and courageous she is, the more she is happy to reap. The other party does not understand the style, but she is not hurried, always energetic and optimistic, this kind of bravery for love and ignorance of the first love has touched many audiences, but also let the actor Sun Jialu enter the public vision.
After graduating from the Beijing Film Academy, Sun Jialu has been in the industry for several years. She played The Cruel Miss, the sweet female anchor, and also played the inspirational young woman who started her own business, even the negative role of the scheming is not in the word, "Out of the Line, First Love" is broadcast hot, "August Weiyang", "Mandala Blossom", "Emperor Huangye", "The Other Shore Flower" and other big dramas are also about to start, and the actor's career belonging to Sun Jialu has just come to an inflection point.

Under the lens is the most eagerly anticipated
A few days before the interview, Sun Jialu always couldn't help but think of what she looked like when she was filming on the set of "Emperor Huangye".
That was last year, and her character was a dignified princess. Sun Jialu wore a gorgeous and complicated costume, repeated her lines, and stood aside waiting for filming to start. Playing against her was Zhang Ziyi, and Sun Jialu affectionately called her "Ziyi Sister". Asked if he was nervous when acting with Zhang Ziyi, Sun Jialu's answer was quite surprisingly firm:
"Just like normal filming, no, there is no special tension, Ziyi sister is very take care of everyone, approachable, I have a lot of respect in my heart, but when acting into the role, I am Gu Cewei, just want to play the role well", the answer was loud, without the slightest hesitation, just like Sun Jialu in the whole interview, it seems to always rush forward with a sense of fearlessness and enthusiasm.
It was not until the age of 12 that Sun Jialu's artistic cells suddenly awakened like being hit. She suddenly fell in love with dance and, with the support of her parents, plunged into dance school to learn ballet. As an "older" student, the flexibility of the body is naturally not as good as that of children who learn teeth and teeth, and it is not easy to do actions such as pressing legs, but Sun Jialu insisted on relying on love, and later achieved quite a lot. When it came time to apply for the university, she felt that she could try to study acting, and her parents and relatives around her also supported her, so she rushed into the art examination army and became a student of the Beijing Film Academy.
Recalling the scene of the first acting, Sun Jialu smiled and said that she had a naïve sense of calm at that time. It was in her sophomore year, Sun Jialu got the opportunity to play a Republic of China girl in the TV series "Blood Reborn", the role is not too heavy, the most scene is the ignorant love of Qingmei Bamboo Horse.
Stills from "Blood Reborn"
Generally speaking, even confident film school students will have some panic and discomfort when they first enter the serious set, but Sun Jialu is different. She can still vividly recall the huge differences between rehearsals and sets in school classes, but it seems to filter through that layer of isolation and step directly into another world.
"When rehearsing at school, standing on the stage, the audience under the stage will be presented according to the rehearsal. But on the set, the director will shout to stop at any time, the set will be very noisy, you also have to pay attention to your emotions, your lines, your expressions, how to concentrate on the display. This is also a test of how to better integrate with the characters. ”
Most of the time, Sun Jialu did not have too much nervousness, he said when he got the line, asked if he did not understand, and had a feeling of release in front of the camera. She also did not shy away from her desire for performance, before going to film school, Sun Jialu was used to going with the flow, giggling and everything didn't matter, but after entering the industry until now, after contacting so many excellent peers, it seemed to be opened to the second pulse of Ren Dou, and suddenly she longed for the camera.
Toward freedom
The performance and equestrianism are as invigorating as taking off
Many actors actively or passively think about a question: Why do I like acting. This is no exception for Sun Jialu. Instead of answering directly in the interview, she kept repeating the word "freedom."
Sun Jialu in life loves equestrianism. She is not the kind of person who has ridden a horse since childhood, or has absolute talent, and after becoming an adult, Sun Jialu tried the feeling of galloping horses for the first time under the leadership of her friends. "Very painful", when Sun Jialu said this, the tone of voice rose unconsciously, and she could feel the brightness and happiness across the phone.
She seems to naturally overlook and quickly overcome some dilemmas. For example, on horseback riding, beginners are bound to experience the pain of bumps, physical discomfort, and even the fear of the horse running uncontrollably, but these are easily overcome here in Sun Jialu. She clearly knew the difficulty and experienced every torture, but she just followed her own pace step by step, learning step by step, little by little, then she had a bottom in her heart, no longer afraid of more challenges.
The same goes for acting. The current film and television environment is not too friendly to actresses, the relatively short-term career cycle oppresses them to rush forward quickly, homogenization is serious and intensifies the urgency of competition, Sun Jialu talks about these, but also more mature than her peers.
"These are all facts that exist, but I'm still far away. I still have so many plays to perform, so many things have not been done, first do what I can do well, these worries are useless, I enjoy the freedom and enthusiasm of creation."
This statement sounds very much like the big strip of the fire sign, but Sun Jialu returned to her Virgo nature when acting. The rare "torture" she remembers comes from the TV series "August Weiyang" in 2016. In the play, she has a large number of opponents with overseas actors, and the first scene is nearly 2 pages. Strange opponents, unfamiliar environment, this finally forced Sun Jialu to have a sense of collapse. But just for a moment, she adjusted.
"I think it's amazing, and I'm obviously panicked." I memorized the words, not only my own, but also others, so familiar that I can still remember the dialogue at that time. Later, I found out that while doing it, I came here."
Undaunted by challenges
Impress the audience with characters
Like many young actors, Sun Jialu does not shy away from her desire for challenges.
When participating in "August Weiyang", Sun Jialu was surprised by her own killing Matt style, while smoothly immersing herself in the role and completing the performance; in "Out of the Line, First Love", the female anchor Lu Xinyi played by her was infinitely tolerant of her boyfriend, she carefully said that she did not agree with this concept of love, but in the play, Lu Xinyi's persistence in love did not see any pretense; the noble princess in "Emperor Huangye" and Sun Jialu herself were very different, but the rare costume drama also made her feel happy... When "Mandala Blossoms", Sun Jialu, who played more modern wayward misses, completely emptied herself and became the ordinary girl with a big grin, which also gave her a new experience.
"I'm not too afraid of NG, after doing myself, if I can't avoid it, then I will feel that this is another opportunity given to me by the director, and it is good to try again." 」
Speaking of her confusion, Sun Jialu's first reaction was that there was not much, as if she could feel the phone on the other end of the phone, she shook her head, remembered something, felt that it was not worth mentioning, and skipped it. Sun Jialu is grateful for the attempts and opportunities brought by each role, for other controversies and pressures, just like ordinary people in work, everyone has their own way of scheduling.
"When others say you're not good, when others question you, it's a little sad, but it's also a moment, a few seconds, and I care a lot when I was a child, but now I will adjust my mentality very quickly." 」 I told myself I was an actor, and all I wanted was to speak in terms of work. ”
Fearless and down-to-earth, young and young, belongs to Sun Jialu's actor career, everything is just right.
