In the story of the three generations of ice and snow love shown in the "Forty Years of China and the Winter Olympics" theme TV series "The Name of Ice and Snow", there is such a group of people, who did not win glory for the country on the field like athletes, but also contributed to China's ice and snow sports in their own way. Coaches and family members, with different titles, are the same unsung heroes behind the Olympic athletes.
Qu Jie, played by Wang Xiuzhu, is such a existence. In the play, she has multiple identities: the daughter of a figure skating coach, the bamboo horse girl and wife of figure skater Yan Zhenhua (Chen Ruoxuan), and the mother of yan Yang (Ou Hao), a short-track speed skater in another chapter of "Winter Olympic Dream".
Inclusive, sassy, with opinions and ideas, Wang Xiuzhu's performance of Qu Jie has the energy behind the support of two generations of ice and snow athletes, and more is the pleasing of an ordinary northeast girl.
"Bamboo Horse Girl" sweet oversized sorbet
Qu Jie in "The Name of Ice and Snow" is a typical Northeastern girl, with a tall figure, a smooth personality, and two twisted braids. During the day, he works as a temporary worker in a factory and helps his mother sell sorbets at night at night. Because of the relationship between his father Qu Binsheng (Liu Xiangjing), Qu Jie and Yan Zhenhua (Chen Ruoxuan) have been friends of Qingmei Bamboo Horse since childhood, although most of the time Qu Jie went in one direction, but in the end, the two cultivated positive results but made Qu Jie a gospel for the bamboo horse girl.
In the play, Yan Zhenhua and his double skating partner Li Binghe (Peng Xiaoran) have a long-term relationship, and for Qu Jie, they are more inclined to take care of the daughter of the mentor and the brother-sister relationship that grew up together. Such a relationship makes Qu Jie can only transform her feelings for him into silent protection, and it is naturally good that time can blossom and bear fruit, but she seems to be ready to go in one direction for a lifetime. However, such a person set in other similar dramas may not have such a sacrificial dedication, and the simple and pure concept of love in the small county town in the northeast in the 80s was fully demonstrated by Qu Jie.
In the latest plot, Qu Jie, who was unemployed by the wave of layoffs, and her mother expanded the sorbet stall into an ice cream shop. On the opening day, she not only gave a generous invitation to the sports school members who came to the stadium, but also said something encouraging. In her opinion, although she can't stand on the ice like them to achieve her own achievements, she also has a good skill in making ice cream, "The bitterness you eat in the ice rink training can get sweetness from the sorbet I made." ”
As the plot progresses, it's hard not to be attracted to this optimistic, open-minded girl.
When Dahua and Glacier are practicing a certain technical action, she will hold the tape recorder on the side as a human flesh music player; when Dahua and Glacier have contradictions, she is willing to become a microphone between the two; in order to help the two people train, she "steals" the figure skating video tape that her father Qu Binsheng has treasured for many years to give Dahua Brother as a teaching material, "Daddy's Heart-piercing Little Cotton Jacket" hammer.
Being good at assisting a friend (or even a love enemy) is Qu Jie's biggest strength, in addition, she also has a cute ghost wit. Glacier's parents tried every means to prevent her from participating in figure skating training in order to let Glacier study abroad, at this time she and Dahua had a conflict, and the two could only eliminate the misunderstanding by meeting. In order to facilitate this meeting, Qu Jie thought of using the name of her father's coach to invite Glacier to watch an ice hockey game, and successfully helped Glacier meet with Dahua.
Clever, kind, and dedicated to love, Qu Jie is also recognized by fans as a "ten-level scholar". In the face of the sneering irony of Glacier girlfriend Liao Xian, Qu Shuyi strength on the line, "always heard that someone went to the United States, said for more than half a year and did not move", with the expression of Yun Light Wind talking to himself lightly, not only netizens were cooled, the actor Wang Xiuzhu himself joked that "you will be more intimidating".
Even if it is not the absolute protagonist in the play, as the male protagonist's green plum bamboo horse-like existence, Qu Jie's character state is not easy to grasp: too much force will make the character become "too clever", and the lack of strength will be directly submerged in a number of characters, and the portrayal of the hero behind the ice and snow scenes will lack due convincing. How did Wang Xiuzhu perform? She has many heartwarming little details in the play, giving a quick hint with her eyes down when delivering tickets for the glacier; the anger and desire to talk after being poked by the glacier in the hospital room; and in the face of Dahua Brother, who does not understand her own mind at all, she controls the emotions of friendship and lovers just right.
The play involves life scenes, Wang Xiuzhu shows through Qu Jie's hand that she seems to be proficient in housework and cooking in her daily life; in the face of the squeamishness that Dahua Ge always shows when he asks for his help, he is generously admitted by his mother when she says that she has no heart and no lungs... Wang Xiuzhu's interpretation of Qu Jie may not be the goddess who is seen at first sight in the crowd, but it is the first patron you think of at a critical moment. As a result, with the development of the plot, more and more fans support Qu Jie, on the one hand, she is touched by her support for Dahua Ge and even the pair skating project, on the other hand, she is really conquered by her pleasing personality.
Born in Dalian, Liaoning Province, Wang Xiuzhu has the natural "sa" of a northeastern girl in her bones, which undoubtedly lays a certain appropriate tone for shaping the characters, and the life, grounding, and non-stickiness are the character charms that she constantly adds to Qu Jie through performance. Playing such a seemingly ordinary Northeastern girl, Wang Xiuzhu understands that what she needs to convey through Qu Jie is not only the love of young people of that era, but also the energy and quality of being a "behind-the-scenes hero" of ice and snow athletes.
It is the perseverance, forbearance and eternal optimism of life that is not lost to athletes.
Multiple possible polyhedron actresses
Wang Xiuzhu graduated from the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts (hereinafter referred to as military art), a key college for professional talents in the field of military culture that has successively cultivated many performing arts talents that are familiar to the public: Liu Peiqi, Yan Ni, Shen Teng, Sha Yi, etc. of drama majors, Jin Xing and Dong Jie of dance majors, and Mo Yan (Department of Literature), the only one in China to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. After graduating from the military arts, Wang Xiuzhu began his career as an actor who constantly accumulated performance strength with his works.
In the hit drama "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", Wang Xiuzhu plays Miao Qing, the princess of the East China Sea, who is eager to get the love of Yehua (Zhao Youting), but is eventually driven out of the Ninth Heaven because of infatuation and wrong faith. In the play, Miao Qing has a scene of dancing at the East China Sea banquet, and the dedicated Wang Xiuzhu invited a professional dance teacher to practice videos for himself, one action after another, taking time out every day to practice, and finally contributing a wonderful and beautiful dance performance.
In the youth drama "Youth Fight" directed by Zhao Baogang, Wang Xiuzhu played the "entrepreneurial royal sister" Yu Hui, graduated from the Chinese Department of Teachers College, engaged in the film screenwriting industry, she is different from the other four people in the five golden flowers, because she was born poor, she is full of desire for success, constantly breaking through many crises and finally realizing her dreams, Wang Xiuzhu presents the audience with a kind of difficulty and determination that belongs to entrepreneurs with a layered performance.
In the same youth drama "As Young as We Are", Lu Xuanjun, played by Wang Xiuzhu, is somewhat similar to Qu Jie in terms of emotional state, because of the family marriage and falling in love with the male protagonist, she is also in a one-way running mode, but Wang Xiuzhu uses different character experiences and backgrounds to distinguish between similar emotional patterns, creating a moving state of different groups in a one-way rush.
In the workplace drama "Zheng Youth", Wang Xiuzhu's role is the front desk of the company with a straight mouth, which is not only very in line with the conditions that this profession needs to leave a good impression on others for the first time, but also handles things online, and on the surface, she can't hide the enthusiasm and goodwill in her bones.
In a previous interview, Wang Xiuzhu once said that actors should not be controlled by the role, and the role she plays has almost no repetition. Admittedly, playing similar genres often allows actors to be remembered in certain labels, but it may also miss the opportunity to show more possibilities.
Wang Xiuzhu tends to polish his performance with different types of works and characters, so that the audience can become a "ruler" to measure their performance.
Since her debut, Wang Xiuzhu has constantly used her role to prove her performance strength to the outside world: driving different types of workplace people, breaking through with stunning appearances and pitiful personalities in ancient costumes, and even challenging characters with two faces and an age span from 20 to 50 years old, she can also complete the challenges brought by the role. This stems from her careful research and speculation on each character, as well as the constant receipt of feedback from the audience.
Previously, in "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", the white and moving high appearance once became an "obstacle" to her performance, and some fans worried that her beauty would make her performance be ignored. For actor Wang Xiuzhu, the natural high appearance is not a problem as the need to "play ugly" for the role. What she cares about most is whether she can accurately complete the chivalry or good skills that the character should have, and whether she can convey a certain spirit to the audience through the role.
Now, "The Name of Ice and Snow" is a hit, and Qu Jie, who she plays, has once again left a deep impression on the audience. This also makes more people look forward to her "on the road" works: partners Chen Xiao and Wang Yibo in the criminal investigation drama "Ice Rain and Fire", in which she plays Sister Qiong, a woman who has a story when she hears her name; in the romantic light comedy "Please Call Me Director", she will stage a workplace love with her partners Lin Xinxin and Tan Songyun; in the Republic of China fantasy martial arts drama "Five Elements Family", she transforms into a gorgeous beauty Black Three Whips, and the obsession with the Fire King and the morality of Yan Jingtian in the play is bound to earn the audience a wave of tears.
The use of "the future can be expected" to describe the actor Wang Xiuzhu is appropriate, which has a solid foundation for her military art learning, the experience and tenacity polished in different types of works and roles, and the future will be more selective about the works and roles because of her strength, which constitutes her performance energy: multi-faceted, every aspect is beautiful.
