Yang Zi starred as a psychologist: expanding the comfort zone and exploring more possibilities

Depression, anxiety, fantasy, stress trauma, parent-child relationship... At present, based on Bi Shumin's novel of the same name, directed by Ke Wenli, starring Yang Zi, Jing Bairan, Wang Jia, Suga Anderson, ni ping, Huang Jue and other starring TV series "Female Psychologist" is being broadcast. The play shows some common psychological problems and character relationship contradictions in today's social life, which has aroused heated discussion among the audience.

Recently, Yang Zi, the actor of the heroine Horton, was interviewed by a cover news reporter, and she bluntly said that the purpose of her filming "Female Psychologist" is to "hope that more people can pay attention to the matter of mental health."

Want to focus on mental health

Analyze social problems from the perspective of a psychologist

"Female Psychologist" tells the story of the psychological counselor Horton, after a huge change in her career, founded an independent psychological counseling room, and in one client case after another, she stripped away the cocoon, excavated the earth-shattering secrets from behind a mysterious file explained by her mentor, and prevented the tragedy with the help of her partners. As soon as the drama was broadcast, it immediately rushed to the first place in the platform hit list.

The drama has also been praised by many professionals, and senior psychological counselor Sprite Shi peiqi said: "The cognitive therapy and narrative unfolding forms shown in the case are still worthy of recognition." In the meantime, I saw the counselor played by Yang Zi grow up and gradually conform to the image temperament of the psychologist. The play is essentially an analysis of social issues from the perspective of a psychologist. The unit plot has a strong positive social significance for the in-depth digging and popularization of issues such as adolescent relationships and original families. ”

Yang Zi chases the drama every day and goes to see the comments of netizens through platforms such as Douban, Weibo, and short videos, especially the opinions put forward by everyone. "I just hope that more people will pay attention to mental health, then the purpose of making this drama will be achieved." I also hope that friends who have watched this play can pay more attention to their friends around them to see if they need help. At that time, if you can reach out, it may be a great encouragement and warmth for them. ”

What makes her admire is that her character Horton, even if there are psychological wounds that are difficult to heal, still wants to use his own strength to help more people. In Yang Zi's view, the role he plays is a growth psychologist. "Horton is very pitiful, his heart is very fragile, but fortunately, he has money to open his heart (Jing Bairan) to help her open her heart." At the same time, she is also a woman with strong inner strength, and I admire Horton for having a strong power to help and heal more people after experiencing the shadow of his childhood. In addition to the love element, the "two-way friendship" between Horton and his girlfriend in the play also touched many viewers. "I am very happy that I also have this kind of two-way friendship, I think friendship is the most precious feeling in the world, it is different from love and family affection, it is precious in my life." 」

Slowly expand the comfort zone

The script is not afraid to act in any genre

In addition to the popularity of the theme, Yang Zi's acting skills in "Female Psychologist" are also recognized by the audience. Not only are the details full of details and the eyes are gripping, Yang Zi's lines have also become the highlight of everyone's attention. In particular, her original vocal lines were praised as "full of emotions and giving people a strong sense of substitution". Yang Zi said: "In fact, I was a little sharp at the beginning of my speech, and then after slowly growing up in the later stage, I began to become softer and warmer, which is also a design of the character. ”

In order to ensure the rigor of professional lines, Yang Zi always memorizes them in advance, and even when making up, she must always be prepared. "There are a lot of professional terms in this play, and I have to say every word clearly, including the look, attitude, tone, etc. of the visitor, which is really difficult to grasp." She especially thanked the director and the crew for their help, "They helped me a lot and gave me a lot of professional advice." We will also have professional psychologists on the spot, everyone is particularly rigorous, afraid of any mistakes. ”

From the "sister next door" in "Family with Children" to the current "Female Psychologist", Yang Zi also showed her changes to the audience through one work after another. However, Yang Zi said that she did not deliberately transform, but just because the script was good, she went to shoot. "People have been talking about my transformation, in fact, for me, I like this script, so I went to shoot. If I see the right script in two years, and the role is cute, I will still act. I didn't think about the problem of transformation, just thinking about the scenes I shot and the roles I shot, and it was good to be recognized by everyone. ”

As for whether he will jump out of the comfort zone, Yang Zi frankly said: "It is true that every actor has his own comfort zone, and I am also very aware of his comfort zone, in fact, it is somewhat difficult to jump out." At this stage, what I want to do is slowly expand this comfort zone and see if I have more possibilities. Of course, these are all in cases where I can definitely act well, and I don't take it too much (out of the comfort zone) as pressure. ”

What makes Yang Zi happy is that she plays with many old drama bones in the play. "It's really enjoying working with them, especially since every play they're a 'drama throwing face', always being able to perfectly substitute for the role and then bring me in, which is a very good feeling, and many of them have played my 'dad' and 'mom', and they are familiar with it and have a sense of dependence."
