Song Zu'er: Ice sports are born underfoot

Song Zu'er, who debuted as a child star, grew up under the attention of the audience. In the costume mythological drama "Baolian Lantern Prequel" more than ten years ago, she was well known to the audience for playing Nezha. Time flies, and Nezha, the "tomboy" who stepped on the hot wheel, has now grown into a girl who has starred in many film and television dramas such as "Children of the Qiao Family". In the TV series "Flying with You in the Wind" broadcast not long ago, she transformed into a short-track speed skating girl "Shen Zhengyi", showing the youth style on the ice and snow. Zu'er was also invited by the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee to serve as a "Winter Olympic Duty Student" to popularize ice and snow sports culture during the 100-day countdown to the Winter Olympic Games.

From shaping ice and snow sports players to serving as a "Winter Olympic duty student", Song Zu'er not only experienced the joy of riding the ice rink, but also promoted the popularity of ice and snow sports to the best of her ability. Recently, she was interviewed by this reporter and talked about the fun of encountering ice and snow sports.

Ice Filming: Learn skating skills from scratch

Born in Tianjin in 1998, Song Zu'er remembers the ice rink in Tianjin's youjia Park, which was so popular that "almost all the children took pictures there." I couldn't skate at that time, and I was pushed by my family with a cart. After growing up, she was exposed to skiing in Beijing and Harbin: "I skied skiing, and as a person whose sports cells are not very developed, the level of skiing can only be regarded as the level of the public." ”

After receiving the filming invitation of "Flying with You in the Wind", Song Zu'er held the mentality of "challenging yourself" and learned to skate from scratch. "Our crew has a special coach to take us to skate and practice while shooting every day. At first, it was difficult for me to do some seemingly simple actions, such as maintaining a squatting posture, and if I couldn't squat, I would fall. "Actresses usually pursue thin and straight legs, but this will lead to insufficient athletic strength." After shooting for a while, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my leg muscles became very tight. I weighed eight pounds to shoot this scene, and I looked a little bit like an athlete. ”

The heroine Shen Zhengyi, played by Song Zu'er in the play, is extremely talented in short track speed skating, but has not received professional training, and has entered the professional team after several twists and turns, and together with the prince of figure skating Shao Beisheng, with the help of the devil coach, he has grown step by step and chased the dream of champion. "Looking back, it was a very hard shot. It was February, we were on the ice almost every day, it was cold, plus the crew rented the venue to avoid affecting the normal use of the school ice rink, so many scenes were filmed all night after the ice rink was not open, which was even harder. One of the training scenes was filmed back and forth many times, and everyone was very tired. Of course, all the hard work was worth it, and grandpa, who liked short track speed skating, also came to the set to experience a lot of skating and cheer her up.

It is worth mentioning that the short track speed skating Olympic champion Wang Meng also made a cameo appearance in the play and gave professional guidance. "Teacher Wang Meng is a very cute sister, I admire her with all my eyes, she is too slippery. Like she said, it's basically impossible for a normal camera to catch up with them during a race. ”

Helping the Winter Olympics: Be a messenger of ice and snow sports

In the process of filming "Flying with You in the Wind", Song Zu'er had a careful understanding of the short track speed skating project and athletes, and was also deeply moved by the spirit of sports competition. "Once I flipped through all the short track speed skating highlight moments from the previous Winter Olympics and looked at it, and I was almost screaming that night because it was so burning. Of course, their movements are difficult for me to learn, and the speed is so fast that it is almost impossible to see clearly. ”

When asked about the ice and snow athletes she likes, Song Zu'er turned into a "fan sister" and said several in a row: "Wang Meng, Wu Dajing, Gu Ailing..." Perhaps because she played "Shen Zhengyi", she added a lot of respect to the Winter Olympic athletes. "In the play, when Shen Zhengyi, who I played, won the championship, I was also particularly touched when I stood on the podium, feeling like I really won the gold medal, a bit of a sense of honor and mission of the athletes. I love this girl who has a passion for dreams, and her story seems to tell me what a great thing it is to have dreams. I hope that everyone can face their dreams and soar freely. ”

On the occasion of the 100-day countdown to the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, the Winter Olympic Organizing Committee launched the "Winter Olympics Duty Day Student Program", and Song Zu'er also became one of the "Winter Olympic Duty Students", helping the Winter Olympics by experiencing ice and snow sports and popularizing ice and snow sports knowledge. In one episode, she learned the first lesson of figure skating under the guidance of pairs world champion coach Qi Jia – how to fall safely and how to get up after falling. "This is very important safety knowledge, novice skating when not standing unsteadily, do not struggle, try to control the direction of crouching, homeopathic fall. When you get up, you should also get up slowly, and try your best to make the degree of fall damage within your control. ”

In the program, Song Zu'er intimately sent flowers to the skating coaches who paid silently and the children who practiced hard, expressing her respect and blessings. "Maybe which kid in it is the future Olympic champion." Skating is a great test of physical strength and reaction speed, so athletes practice from a very young age and dedicate their youth to the sport. Song Zu'er also sang the Winter Olympic song "Ice and Snow Feelings" with Hu Xia, and recently recorded the ice and snow competition humanistic visit reality show "Snowy Day to See You", hoping that more young people will pay attention to the Winter Olympics and fall in love with ice and snow sports.

Chinese New Year: Watching the Winter Olympics with your family during the Spring Festival

When the 2008 Beijing Olympics were held, Song Zu'er was a ten-year-old primary school student. "I remember that the school seemed to have recruited young volunteers for the Olympic Games at that time, and the whole society, both adults and children, was very much looking forward to the Olympic Games." In the blink of an eye, the Beijing Winter Olympics have passed the halfway mark, and Song Zu'er feels that 2022, the Chinese year that accompanies the Winter Olympics, is particularly meaningful.

"When I was a child, during the Spring Festival, what I was most looking forward to was giving out red envelopes, and now what I value most is the reunion of the family." Song Zu'er has spent two previous Chinese New Year's Eve on the Spring Festival Gala stage, once in 2007, when she performed the show "Flowers in the Sunshine" on the Spring Festival Gala stage at the age of 9, and once in the language program in 2020. "The Spring Festival is the biggest festival of the year in Chinese, and after each recording, I return home like an arrow, no matter how late, my relatives will wait for me to come back."

For Song Zu'er, Grandma and Grandpa are very important people in life. When she was a child, as soon as Song Zu'er finished school, her mother would take her back and put her in her grandmother's house. In the variety show "Can't Forget the Restaurant", Song Zu'er's grandmother and grandfather came to visit her in the restaurant, and in the process of talking with her grandmother, she talked about the fear of missing out on their company, and Song Zu'er has been holding back tears. "I spent the Spring Festival last year in the crew, and my grandmother and grandfather also came to Shanghai to accompany me, so I was very happy."

"This year's Spring Festival, I watched the Winter Olympics with my family, with a special focus on short track speed skating." Song Zu'er said, "I hope that all Chinese athletes participating in the Winter Olympics can continue to maintain a good attitude and play at the best level." ”
