On January 19, China-Singapore Entertainment released an exclusive interview with Xiao Zhan. After the end of the TV series "Ace Troops", the performance of young actor Xiao Zhan in the play was remarkable, and the veritable "drama throwing face" shaped the predatory soldier "Gu Yiye", so that many viewers saw the other side of Xiao Zhan.
In the past, Xiao Zhan was a "small fresh meat" in the eyes of the public. Now through the perfect transformation of "Ace Troops", it shows the "tough guy" side. At the same time, with this drama, Xiao Zhan has also successfully entered the "mainstream circle", and more dramas will contact him in the future. He is a talented actor from a non-science class, hard working, debuted for many years to create a variety of roles, so that the industry can see his plasticity as an actor.
After the finale of "Ace Troops", the official entertainment of China News Network found Xiao Zhan and conducted an exclusive interview with him. The first question is what everyone is very concerned about, why did Xiao Zhan take over the military drama? When you learn that the role you want to play is "Gu Yiye", do you think that there is a similarity between me and "Gu Yiye"?
In this regard, Xiao Zhan said that because he has felt that the military is a very sacred and great identity since he was a child, after receiving the invitation, he was more nervous than excited, and "a little unconfident." A few years ago, there was an interview that asked Xiao Zhan to choose one of three film and television classic roles, including Prince Amusement, Hong Shixian, and Li Yunlong.
Xiao Zhan did not hesitate to choose "Li Yunlong", the reason is that when he watched "Bright Sword" when he was a child, he was deeply shocked and wanted to become such a person. Therefore, being able to take over the role of "Ace Troops" is simply a "dream journey" for him. Liu Yan, director of "Ace Troops", said that when selecting the actor of "Gu Yiye", he felt that Xiao Zhan had a kind of gentleman's temperament in his bones, and his eyes were clean, which was in line with the taste of the 1980s.
What made Liu Yan feel relieved was that she found that Xiao Zhan could see the most core thing of the character of "Gu Yiye". After reading the script, Xiao Zhan has his own unique views on the role of "Gu Yiye", and often elaborates on some of his ideas about performance with the director on the set. This has created a more vivid "Gu Yiye", as if it really exists.
Xiao Zhan once said in an interview that actors serve the role. "If there's a script today that appeals to me, but the character is a soldier, or a military subject, he's a tough guy, OK, no problem, I'm willing to let go of my work, I spend three months, half a year, to train, I'm OK." 」
In order to create the role of "Gu Yiye", Xiao Zhan silently made a lot of preparations in advance. For example, I watched a lot of military-themed film and television dramas and interviews and reports in advance; before filming, I followed the crew to the military region, trained with real soldiers, ate and lived together; got up at 5:30 in the morning to exercise in the morning, stood in a military posture, trained in high intensity under the scorching sun, and also participated in daily gun holding training.
Xiao Zhan said seriously that if you want to play as an actor, you must eat all the work, actions, tasks, including experiences of soldiers, in order to interpret them well to the audience. This serious attitude is also doomed to his success. "I believe that as long as you do what you love, all your time and effort will be rewarded," he said. "I said that 'Ace Troops' may not be out of the circle enough, but Gu Yiye is absolutely on fire!
After a long absence of interviews and such in-depth dialogues, Xiao Zhan is still sincere and modest, full of positive energy. Since his debut, he has never vented negative energy in public, and the spirit of being born in the sun has infected many people. Of course, he will also be lost and unhappy, "I am a normal person, I am not a machine, but I chose to be a public figure, you have that responsibility, you present something, is to bring strength to everyone, not to say that I spread negative energy." 」 ”
Some negative emotions, Xiao Zhan will digest themselves, he feels that he can't bring these to the public. As a public figure with a certain degree of influence, Xiao Zhan believes that he should assume the social responsibility of transmitting positive energy; xiao Zhan bluntly said that it is a great honor to bring strength to more people, "In the future, I will pay more attention to my work, be more serious, and will also be more active in passing on this responsibility and responsibility and this strength to everyone." ”
The most wonderful thing in life is not the moment of realizing the dream, but the process of insisting on the dream. Xiao Zhan is so down-to-earth, step by step to today. The first 25 years of his life laid a good character and excellent ability for him, and after 25 years he realized his dream, he began to embark on another journey, working harder on the road of his dreams.
Since his debut, Xiao Zhan often looks back while moving forward. He feels that he still has many shortcomings, but he also believes that the future will become more and more relaxed, "not arrogant, trying to find their own problems, find where they need to improve, and then strive towards that goal." "Encourage Xiao Zhan."
