"Knife Line in the Snow" is adapted from the novel of the same name written by the online writer "Beacon Theatre Princes", and was sought after by many fans of the original work before it was filmed and television. Some people like Xu Fengnian's superficial style, but in fact there is a contrast of courage and strategy; some people appreciate the Nangong servant shooting a female stream, but he is a strong martial artist. Some people even regard the ginger mud of Ke Luoli's royal sister as the white moonlight in their hearts.
1. Understanding the contradictions of the role
When Li Gengxi was asked about her understanding of the role of Jiang Ni in an interview, she bluntly said that "Jiang Ni is a mane." At a very young age, Jiang Ni had already gone to the Northern Starling Palace as a slave. So in terms of temperament, there is actually not much change. It is only because of her stubborn and strong personality that she looks like an unusual squirrel.
But then Li Gengxi added another sentence: "And she is still the princess of Western Chu." ”
The front is also said to be a beard, how can it be a princess in the back?
Judging from the TV series, Li Gengxi did play the role of Jiang Ni in her understanding.
Her understanding of [Ginger Ni] is contradictory, and perhaps she herself has not yet figured out what kind of character Jiang Ni is.
Obviously, she was a lady who had served in the Northern Starling Palace for many years, but when she stood with other servants in the same house, she often showed a small family temperament that was not willing to send people under the fence. Live like a child who is making trouble with others.
It can be seen that she is trying very hard to show jiang ni's stubbornness and abnormality.
However, if you understand the contradictions of the characters, it will lead to your own inability to integrate into the camera, and the audience will also play in the process of chasing the play. This may not have been noticed by Li Gengxi himself.
2. Cold, not mournful
In the original work, Jiang Ni is graceful in big things and delicate and cute in small things. With a cold face and a beautiful face, she is an extremely beautiful woman.
After reading the script, Li Gengxi may have also grasped the two key points of "cool" and "cute". So she occasionally used sad eyes and expressionless faces to set off the sense of coldness. But her eyes are unfocused, and the corners of her mouth are sagging, so when she does not make an expression, she gives people a feeling of "decadence".
And her sense of coolness is not emitted from the inside out, but gives people a feeling that they can see at a glance that it is acting.
Jiang Ni's cuteness, she also tried her best to cope with a bright smile and a fighting mouth when facing Xu Fengnian. However, because the acting skills are not solid, the final effect presented is only the difference between the five senses and the five senses.
The sense of coldness is not a sense of mourning, but a clear and cold temperament emanating from the body. This point, leaving aside the acting skills, you can refer to the Nangong servant played by Zhang Tianai in the play.
3. Summary
Li Gengxi finally mentioned in the interview that the tragic experience of Jiang Ni's subjugation of the country was an emotion that was more difficult for her to grasp.
Perhaps she herself had never had such an experience, and it was difficult to use her imagination. Coupled with the fact that the director did not guide her emotions well, he also pointed out the core direction for her during the filming process, so she could only act according to her own understanding.
After watching her interview, it is not difficult to see that Li Gengxi really shaped the role of Jiang Ni according to her understanding. So everyone sees the stubbornness, rigidity, and helplessness of knowing that she is the princess of the fallen country... These are all manifestations of her own understanding.
When Li Gengxi played Qiao Yingzi before, he gave people a strong sense of substitution. The fundamental reason why she could not play Jiang Ni this time may be that no one guided her imagination, and she herself could not be substituted into the role, and finally she could only leave the regret to the audience.
