Wang Yuanke played another "fierce role"! She starred with Liu Tao, Du Chun, Li Nian, Yuan Wenkang, Wang Tianchen, Dai Xu and others in the urban emotional drama "I Really Love You", which is being broadcast on Oriental Satellite TV. In this play, she laughed and said that she was a bit of a "black belly" "workplace fierce role", but in the play, this novice mother Chen Jiaorui, the experience of postpartum depression, the difficulty of returning to the workplace, also triggered the resonance of many women in the workplace, after the drama was broadcast, she could receive a lot of private messages from the real-life version of "Chen Jiaorui" to her every day. In an interview with the Mammoth reporter, she also dissected the character who was weak on the outside but strong on the inside, and also told the pain and joy behind being a "back nurse".
Talk about roles
This is a "fierce character" who is soft on the outside and tough on the inside.
"I Really Love You" tells the story of three women with different identities and backgrounds, facing multiple pressures such as childbirth, career, and marriage, breaking through difficulties and realizing self-worth. Due to the current topic of women's growth, the popularity of the show remained high after its launch. Chen Jiaorui, played by Wang Yuanke, has experiences and emotions that can be described as "big ups and downs", suffering from severe postpartum depression during confinement, and divorcing her husband Mo Ming (Du Chun) after experiencing several emotional out-of-control collapses. After the divorce, Chen Jiaorui aspired to become an excellent single working mother. She returned to the workplace under great pressure, won the opportunity to ascend at all costs, but could not balance work and children, and was always in a state of anxiety... Wang Yuan can use three keywords to describe Chen Jiaorui: "The audience just saw her as 'soft outside and strong inside', and when she wanted to balance the family and the workplace but couldn't, she was 'paranoid and sensitive', and in the later stage, she was 'the fierce corner of the workplace'." ”
In the play, Wang Yuanke has a large number of rival scenes with Liu Tao, who plays Xiao Yan. Chen Jiaorui regards Xiao Yan as a "thorn in the eye of the workplace", and she uses Xiao Yan's kindness and her "mother" identity to drive Xiao Yan away. "They love and kill each other, see each other as opponents, and grow up together under pressure." Although they have many confrontations and contradictions in the workplace, they will fight side by side at key moments, showing the most tender side of women helping each other. ”
Q: Another great character, what attracted you at the time?
A: When I first saw this script, I was attracted by this theme, and I felt that it was speaking out for contemporary women and working mothers, so I thought it was a more realistic script, and I was also shocked by the role of "Chen Jiaorui" in it. In fact, at the beginning, I did not immediately agree to come down to play this role, and later after analyzing this character and familiarizing myself with the script, I also saw other roles I played before, and I may still be able to see through the process of chatting that there will be external softness and inner rigidity in the previous role, so later I still got the role of "Chen Jiaorui".
Q: Some viewers will think that your character has a little bit of black belly, what do you think?
A: I think she is kind in essence, of course, there are many settings in the play that are more sharp, and Xiao Yan has the feeling of being enemies and friends in the workplace, although at the moment of confrontation in the workplace, there is also a feeling of mutual help and mutual help, fortunately, the ending is perfect, and they are reconciled.
Q: As a woman, as well as a mother and a working woman, what resonance does it have between yourself and your characters?
A: I am also a working mother, and I do have a lot of resonance when interpreting "Chen Jiaorui", for example, when I know that I want to conceive a baby and conceive a baby, I have to choose to give up my career and concentrate on conceiving a baby. After the baby is weaned, when it comes to returning to the workplace, this is another difficult psychological pressure and challenge, because no matter how to choose, you will miss a lot, once you leave the workplace, when you return, the hope will become very slim, and the pressure to return to the workplace is unabated for the mother.
Including the postpartum depression in the play, many friends around, postpartum mothers, more or less have some sensitivity, all their attention, and all the responsibility is on the child, want to give all the love to the child, this time they will be more sensitive, but also hope that they can get some expression when there is pressure, can have a person to talk, just this play Chen Jiaorui did not find such a person to express, to breathe, has been suppressed postpartum depression. Therefore, through this role, I want the society to give working mothers more understanding and love, and also pay tribute to their greatness and selflessness.
Speak up for performance
This time, I gained 13 pounds for the role
Although Wang Yuanke and Liu Tao will be tit-for-tat in the workplace of the play, once the sword is fierce, but the two are intimate when filming in the crew. In her eyes, Liu Tao is a gentle and delicate big sister, "She takes special care of each of us." "In the play, Wang Yuan can play the postpartum mother, but she has not been able to recover her body and gain weight. Liu Tao always made them a lot of delicious food, "helped me gain weight quickly, gained 13 pounds." She took special care of us, and when eating shrimp, she would carefully peel the shrimp for us and put them on everyone's plate. In addition, even if the cooperation scenes are not much, Wang Yuan can get along well with Li Nian, who plays Youya: "Li Nian is like in the play, especially sunny and happy. She loves to share makeup with us, dig up interesting things, and often give us cute little hairpins and cute pajamas. ”
Another person who has more rivalry with Wang Yuan is du chun, the "husband" in the play. In the play, the two are a couple who have experienced the darkest moments of life, Chen Jiaorui once transferred all the misfortunes of her life to Mo Ming, played by Du Chun, due to illness, and Mo Ming was once tortured by his wife's melancholy and irritable emotions to doubt life. When performing, Wang Yuanke and Du Chun often analyzed the role, "Du Chun was not a grandfather at that time, so for him, this play was a particularly good internship opportunity." However, at that time, Mo Ming had to face Chen Jiaorui's bad temper every day, the pressure was very high and anxious, and Du Chun once collapsed, he asked Wang Yuanke, "Is there really such a person as 'Chen Jiaorui' in reality?" Wang Yuan can reply to him: "Many women will have postpartum anxiety and stress, which is also a lesson that everyone who is about to become a father should do well in advance." She also hopes to see the new father of this drama and give her mother more care.
Q: It's not the first time that the fierce role has been played, so is there anything difficult to grasp in the performance this time?
A: Fortunately, because this role is very similar to me, I also became a mother, and faced a long period of time in the process of not being able to work, paying back again, there are many places where it is not easy to be a working mother, and others do not know the place, only being a mother has such a feeling, which can help me feel her heart faster.
Q: Is there anything in your personality that matches the character of Chen Jiaorui?
A: Similar to "Chen Jiaorui"'s personality, I think it may be that there is a lot of pressure or sadness that will be digested by itself and I don't want to say it. I think the completely different place is not as entangled as she is, I will still be more rational, I can adjust my heart in life, or I will face it positively and optimistically, and I will not be as depressed and entangled as "Chen Jiaorui".
Q: There are three completely different roles in the play, one is the "Iron Ding" who completely chooses the career, the second is the "hot mother" who chooses the family, and the third is Chen Jiaorui, a working mother who wants to grasp both of them, which type will you personally prefer?
A: I will choose the synthesis between "Youya" and "Chen Jiaorui", "Tie Ding" is impossible, because I am now a mother, so I hope to be able to based on "Youya's" optimism, sunshine, and enthusiasm and love for children, while at the same time being able to take into account their own career, reflected in the value of society.
Q: Marriage is a practice, in your opinion, what enlightenment does Chen Jiaorui's story bring to the audience?
Wang Yuanke: Marriage is indeed a practice, and I think it is not only a revelation for "Chen Jiaorui" alone, but also for "Mo Ming" and for his family. I am also a new mother, and I think I will grow up with my children and my family and face them together.
Talk about feelings
Working moms have to be nice to themselves
With the same identity as Chen Jiaorui, Wang Yuanke is also a working mother and has twin sons with actor Wang Yu. Wang Yuanke revealed that after the broadcast of "I Really Love You", many viewers sent her private messages: "They felt that when 'Chen Jiaorui' faced the pressure of postpartum depression and could not digest the emotions and screamed, it seemed to be shouting for them. They shared their resonance with me, and I was very touched when I saw it. ”
As a working mother, Wang Yuan can have a lot of resonance with the role, like the play to return to the post to do "back milk mother", such an experience she also had, when her baby was 5 months old, filming was to take the baby into the group, "is also 'back milk mother, in the process of filming, there are also cases that can not suck milk in time, in the play Chen Jiaorui in the work of colleagues found that her clothes are infiltrated, that kind of embarrassing scene I also experienced." She sighed, "Working mothers are not easy, and it is even harder to be a strong mother." "How many times have children gone out full of guilt when they are crying, and can only go home from work when the children are asleep, only mothers who have experienced these things can understand that these are not easy, so, she said, she hopes that the whole society will respect, understand and care for mothers."
Q: What do you most want to say to real-life "working moms"?
A: I want to say to working mothers, you are already very strong, very hard, very great, do not give yourself too much pressure, do not let yourself be too sensitive, to be optimistic and positive to face life, only by being better to yourself, you are sunny and optimistic, you can better accompany your children.
Q: Some female audiences think that after watching this kind of drama of women in the workplace, they will be afraid of marriage and childbearing, what do you think of this phenomenon?
A: In the process of playing the role, I also want to speak up for women in the workplace, they have too many difficulties, but when real life comes, don't be afraid, be brave, make a good choice for yourself, and don't be afraid since you chose.
Q: How do you balance yourself at home and in the workplace?
A: I halved my work, I used to be filming for a year, I have been working, after having children, I have half the time at work, maybe even a little less, fortunately, our career is not like Chen Jiaorui's daily work, our time is relatively easy to plan. Try to work as much as possible when your children are winter and summer vacations, so that you will not delay the time spent with them.
Q: What kind of role do you want to try in the future? What type of story will catch your attention more at the moment?
A: I hope that the next character can play the athletes, because recently when I watched the Olympic Games and saw them on the field, I imagined how much effort and sweat they put in behind their backs, so I hope to be able to interpret their spirit.
