The impression of Wei Zheming is always very busy.
Since his official debut as an actor in 2016, he has been in a state of "fast horse and whip". From wei Zijian, a well-off warm boy school in "Road from Tonight White", to the melancholy warm male Long Haiyi in "Dragon Day One, You Are Dead", to the mysterious villain Jiang Yiheng in "My Wonderful Boyfriend 2". In 3 years, he starred in no less than 20 works, half of which were custom dramas. Carefully calculated, basically there is less than a month of vacation every year, and even the upcoming 2020 New Year's Eve, he can only spend it in the crew.
The pace of life is fast and intense, but he has long been accustomed to it.
Even on the day of the interview, because I was going to shoot "Swap! The poster for "Luck", the interview time was delayed by several hours than originally scheduled. In order not to delay the reporter's time too long, Wei Zheming divided his time into fragments and solved the problem in the way of "seeing the seam and inserting the needle".
The reporter wondered why he was so restless, but he laughed and called himself a "pragmatist".
"I can't just learn theoretical knowledge without combining practice, only in the filming process of the crew, I can learn and experience something more." So I spent a few plays trying to figure out these methods, and I hope to use this way to make up for the lack of learning that I didn't go through the class. ”
harvest
Busy Wei Zheming ushered in a harvest this year.
Recently, a "Fast Rescue" made many viewers remember his name. Since the drama was broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV, the popularity has risen steadily, not only winning the crown of no.1 in the same period of the double network, but also achieving a good result of CSM59 City ratings breaking 1. As one of the two male protagonists of the play, Wei Zheming has also gained high popularity.
According to data released by Ai Man on December 7, he ranked 3rd on the actor list with a popular contribution of 6486.
In the Weibo new star list released a few days ago, he achieved the first place.
Looking back now, the success of "Speed Rescue" can be said to be a favorable time and place.
As the first medical rescue TV series in China, "Speed Rescue" tells the story of three medical staff with different growth backgrounds who adhere to the humanitarian spirit in extreme rescue operations after coming to the flight rescue team, overcoming the difficult environment, and constantly breaking through the limit to complete the rescue task.
In the form of a "unit drama", the play interprets a vivid little story. Although these small stories are separate, they are connected with a common spiritual core and directly attack human nature. The thrilling disaster scenes, fist-to-flesh action scenes, and delicate emotional scenes in the heart make it quite cinematic.
In the play, Yu Fei, played by Wei Zheming, was born in a wealthy family, has an enviable doctorate degree from a world-famous university and professional medical knowledge, and became the chief surgeon of cardiothoracic surgery at a young age. However, such a "chosen one" has a cold and unsociable personality. Similarly, in the medical position, from naivety to maturity, he also has a clear character arc.
Such a unique theme and personality is very attractive to Wei Zheming, who is accustomed to acting in the theme of youth. Because of this, when he first came into contact with the script, he was immediately attracted.
"The first impression of Yu Fei's role on me was that he had professional skills and was able to keep a clear head in the face of trouble. From the perspective of the small characters, he is a cold and internal heat type of character, and there is a significant change in the front and late period, including a process from naivety to maturity. For actors, such a three-dimensional character is very attractive. In fact, I have always wanted to try different roles, and at that time, I happened to encounter such a theme, and I felt very lucky to be able to get the opportunity to play a professional doctor. ”
What many people don't know is that "Speed Rescue" is the first TV series work of the famous director Yang Shupeng. During the filming process, Wei Zheming got a lot of help from the director. Especially in the early stages of shooting, the director's words woke him up to the stage of ignorance of the role.
"He said I had a lot of faith, and said I believed in Yu Fei as a person. In the early stage of shooting, I was recognized by the director, which helped me a lot in improving myself. Later, I slowly learned to deduce. Why is Yu Fei so wooden in terms of feelings? Maybe it's due to the influence of the original family, or maybe it's because I was rarely cared for by my father when I was a child, which is the biggest gain that this drama has brought me. ”
pay
Of course, behind any harvest, it is inseparable from hard work.
Because of "Speed Rescue", Wei Zheming was able to go deep into the medical industry and rescue industry. At that time, in order to experience life, he came to a local hospital in Chongqing, observed and studied in the emergency department, followed 120 tasks, and saw how doctors rescued patients in the ICU.
In addition to basic medical training, there are many practical trainings, such as surgical stitches. In addition to having a dedicated teacher teaching on the day of shooting, there will also be special intensive training. When filming the snowy mountain scene, he followed the mountaineering team for special training and searched and rescued with the rescue team.
"Actors like us who play doctors will have special pre-hospital emergency doctors to train us. The actor who plays the nurse will go to the nurse's station to observe the nurse's work and living conditions for a day. Because this is after all a TV series on the theme of medical rescue, we want to try to be as professional as possible. ”
Nearly 1 month of professional training, so that Wei Zheming has a new understanding of the medical industry. Just like the rescue team in the play often faces a dilemma, knowing that the survival rate of the trapped people is extremely low, they still have to take risks to rescue. For medical rescuers, it is a matter of life and death, to arrive at the scene as quickly as possible and save more lives.
"Including the doctor-patient relationship mentioned in the play, it is also a concern for the whole country now." I think every doctor is very hard, their workload is very heavy, and the task is heavy, but they have to be perfect and keep calm at all times. Through this 1 month of in-depth understanding and 4 months of shooting, I am even more in awe of this profession and really appreciate their dedication. ”
In addition to the professional medical rescue knowledge to learn, there are many cinematic action disaster scenes in "Speed Rescue", such as the snowy mountains on the eve of the storm, the mine caves where the collapse is imminent, the thrilling road chase, and the rollover scene of the serial accident... Just by listening to it, you know how big a problem the actors face during the filming process.
In these extreme conditions and dangerous environments, Wei Zheming did not suffer less. Because of the intensity of the shooting, he worked at least 18 hours a day, and the winter in Chongqing was cold, coupled with the inhalation of a large amount of coal ash and dust in the mine, he was seriously ill. From upper respiratory tract infections, to otitis media, to lymphitis, a range of inflammations came to the door. But even so, he still stuck to his job.
"I remember very clearly that when the fever burned to nearly 39 degrees, in order not to delay the shooting progress, I also went to the water and filmed the collapse scene in the mine. At that time, physical pain coupled with mental stress was indeed very hard. Including technical terms, a lot of lines, weather and circumstances, this is probably the hardest scene I've ever made. ”
self-cultivation
Wei Zheming on the screen has a warm smile and comes with a soft light filter, while under the screen he strives to be dedicated and strive for excellence. In the interview, he left the deepest impression on the reporter is polite and humble, such a temperament may be related to his growth environment and family education.
Wei Zheming was born in the famous hometown of Kong Meng, the state of etiquette - Jining, Shandong. When I was a child, both my parents and friends and relatives paid great attention to traditional etiquette. Under the influence of his ears, he also developed a Confucian character. Whenever he encounters a problem, he must think about others for the first time, even if he often "suffers losses", but this kind of cultivation has accompanied him so far. He joked to reporters that if he passed an unscrewed faucet, he would have to go forward and tighten it.
This cultivation is also reflected in Wei Zheming's way of making friends, he seems to have a kind of magic, as long as it is an actor who has worked with him, he will become a close friend. When "Speed Rescue" was broadcast, many actors and friends came to give him a platform: Shen Yue, Li Geyang, Luo Zheng, He Hua, Wang Sen... The star-studded Weibo shows his good popularity.
In fact, Wei Zheming was not from a science class. After graduation, he also worked in the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for 3 years, which allowed him to get in touch with the most grass-roots mass life while completing the task of leadership and delivery.
The work within the system allowed Wei Zheming to truly experience the cold and warm of life, and also discovered a lot of people's sophistication. Over time, these experiences became his most valuable assets. Such a unique life experience makes him feel obviously more sensitive to performance than actors of his age.
"After experiencing the hardships of society, people's personality will become relatively calm and introverted, which will make your performance more lifelike and easier for everyone to recognize and accept."
Today, Wei Zheming is in a stage of rapid growth. Over the years, in addition to his acting experience, he has learned the most to look at life with a normal mind.
"If there is too much scrambling, it is likely to outweigh the losses." Let go of your own body, let go of your urgent desires, and take every step steadily, this is the most important point. In these 3 years, I have made a lot of works, and these works have helped me grow rapidly. Now I may slow down a little and give myself a process of enjoyment. ”
This may be Wei Zheming's philosophy of life, which seems to be extremely deep in the world, but in fact it is transcendent. In life, instead of struggling to compete, it is better to be a wild crane in the clouds, and it is impossible to fly in the sky.
In the future, Wei Zheming will have many works to meet with the audience - "Exchange It!" with Yan Chengxu and Shen Yue. Luck", "Twelve Tans" with Gulinaza and Liu Yihao, "The Next Stop is Happiness" with Song Qian and Song Weilong, "I Have Special Communication Skills" with Fan Shiqi... Both the cast and the level of production are worth looking forward to.
