When you think of firefighters when filming, you are not afraid of hard work
Being able to have the opportunity to play a firefighter makes Zhou Yanchen feel very cool, and the role of firefighter Wang Dayin is a bit inferior and has strong self-esteem. In order to experience the real life of firefighters, a week before the start-up, Zhou Yanchen and other actors received intensive training for the real fire brigade.
"A week is not very long, but it is this week of training that gives me a lot of inspiration and encouragement." Zhou Yanchen said. The work of a firefighter is dangerous and hard, and although he has long thought of this, he is still impressed by the real experience. "For example, simulating smoke training in the corridor, completely unable to breathe, think of real firefighters in this situation to carry empty breathing (air breathing apparatus), water bags and other equipment, I think they are too great." 」
In the play, in order to truly reproduce some of the daily rescue operations of the firefighters, there are many scenes of explosions, sometimes the scenes of explosions can not be passed by one or two, often have to wait for the explosion to re-trim the scene and then re-shoot, the big night scene is more commonplace, after filming the night scene, the next day still have to get up early to start work, every time Zhou Yanchen feels a little hard, he will think of the firefighters, he feels that compared with them, his own hard work is really nothing.
Zhou Yanchen said that his biggest gain is that he has learned a lot of fire knowledge through filming this TV series, and many of them are hidden dangers that can be seen in daily life, but they are often ignored by everyone. Not long ago, he also deliberately took a video to publicize fire knowledge to everyone, "If the oil pot is on fire when cooking at home, you must not add water, and you can quickly cover it with a pot lid." Zhou Yanchen said that although these are seemingly simple common sense, many people have known before, but in the face of emergencies people are usually easy to panic, oil pot fire is also one of the most common causes of daily fires, he hopes to let more families reduce the occurrence of fires through his own tips.

Cherish every detail to make the character image more fleshed out
Wang Dayin, played by Zhou Yanchen, is an orphan, and Xiao Pei, a little girl he silently takes care of, is also an orphan, so in some rescue operations in the early plot, Wang Dayin always seems to dare not take risks, and he shrinks his head a bit. Zhou Yanchen explained that in fact, Wang Dayin's greed for life and fear of death were all because of the concern in his heart.
Zhou Yanchen cherished every scene of his own, including the interaction with Xiao Pei, zhou Yanchen felt that these were the basis for enriching the image of Wang Dayin, "She and I are orphans, I saved her in the fire, and then we relied on each other." Wang Dayin was particularly worried about his accident every time he went out on a mission, because if he had anything to do, there would be no one to take care of his little sister. ”
There is a detail in the main film, when Xiao Pei died, there was a bridge section where Wang Dayin ate Mai Li Su, and the design of this bridge section is actually because Xiao Pei loves to eat Mai Li Su, every time she eats it, she is very happy, and Wang Dayin also hopes that she can be happy at this moment. For some reasons, some shots have not been finally cut into a film, and Zhou Yanchen is slightly regretful, "But film and television art itself is also the art of regret, and every play will have some regrets." ”
Although there are regrets for himself, Zhou Yanchen is very grateful for the role of Wang Dayin, because this play has allowed many audiences familiar with him to see him differently. Previously, Zhou Yanchen played the warm Duan Xiao in the youth school drama "I Don't Want to Be Friends with You", which attracted attention, and he was also blindfolded by the audience. "This time, let everyone see that I have more possibilities."

I started filming before I participated in the variety show
Most people know Zhou Yanchen in the 2018 "Idol Trainee" program, in fact, before participating in the show, he has already begun filming.
Zhou Yanchen majored in dance at high school, and when he went to the door of the Beijing Dance Academy to wait for the exam results in his third year of high school, he was found by a scout and asked him to go for an interview. During the interview, Zhou Yanchen did not hold out too much hope, and flew back to his hometown in the northeast the next day, but he did not expect that the notice of passing the interview on the third day came, and he flew directly overseas to become a trainee.
However, soon, Zhou Yanchen, with the support of his family, decided to return to China to complete his studies. During college, he first participated in a show, formed a group debut with several other boys, and later after being recommended by the company, he officially began filming. Zhou Yanchen himself is very shy, he said that in fact, he has a little social phobia, and he remembers the first time he filmed he did not understand anything, he was scolded by the director, but fortunately, Zhou Yanchen has a strong understanding of acting, although he has not undergone professional training, but the performance is not bad.
After starting filming one after another, Zhou Yanchen slowly shifted his focus, and just when he made up his mind to shoot well, "Idol Trainee" began to audition, "At that time, many brothers and sisters in the company advised me to participate in this show, but I refused, and finally our boss called me and persuaded me to participate." ”
On the stage of "Idol Trainee", Zhou Yanchen did not expect to come to the position of 21st, which also became a small climax and interlude in his acting career. After the recording of the show, he returned to his identity as an actor and filmed seriously. From 2019's "Jianghu Story", 2020's "I Don't Want to Be Friends with You", and then to this year's "Hello, Flame Blue", Zhou Yanchen is trying to break through himself every year, "When the role is recognized by everyone, I will have a special sense of accomplishment, I hope that every play, every role, can make the audience forget the previous role and bring new roles." ”
