HB exclusive conversation with Chen Mengxi
I'm an actor with a "storage fetish"
The urban workplace love light comedy "Party A Who Lives Next Door to Me" is about to be released, in which Chen Mengxi plays Li Xinxia, the chief director of Ed Advertising Design Company, which is her first attempt to play the role of a handsome and domineering strong woman. From contact with the role to in-depth exploration, Chen Mengxi sees it as a process of exploration and learning.
For Chen Mengxi, in the past two years, she has always been in the stage of self-breakthrough and growth. In the recently released "Queen Liu Hei Fat", she experienced a comedy shooting process. "The first thing I felt like after filming 'Queen Liu Hei Fat' was happiness, because this was my first time shooting a comedy in pure sense. Mr. Yoko Spicy is also a very contagious actor who can bring joy to everyone, and the atmosphere of the whole crew is particularly happy. ”
"I'm an actor with a 'storage fetish' and I like to take in all kinds of different types of roles." The new filming experience not only allows Chen Mengxi to expand into a wider field, but also inspires her with novel characters and script settings.
Everyone's growth is gradual, and actors are no exception. Retaining and absorbing on the role, the experience is slowly stacked and accumulated, solidified into the confidence of self-advancement. In the time between different character stories, Chen Mengxi grasps the rhythm of the self and constantly extends. "For the growth of myself, it is also my ambition in performance. This growth has been there for so many years, and I hope to grow up with the characters, and I am constantly trying different types of characters. Like last month, I also tried a rebellious girl, and in the process of trying, I hope to find some shining points in myself that I am not aware of. ”
Looking back on these journeys I have traveled, the original innocence and purity are incomparably precious. In Chen Mengxi's heart, the cute and simple simplicity in "The Best of Us" is more like his own true color, representing the original self.
Accept yourself
"In life, I may not be a very confident person. But when I act, I can be a very confident person. "Gaining a sense of security in the performance, chen Mengxi's safe environment in the role has given her more confidence." In a familiar environment, Chen Mengxi immersed himself in it. Under the shell of the role, Chen Mengxi can freely stretch his acting skills and express his love for life through the role.
Talking about the "body anxiety" and "appearance anxiety" that are hotly discussed today, Chen Mengxi believes that a person's quality does not depend entirely on appearance and body, and it is necessary to enhance self-confidence, accept themselves, and find their true value. "When you are one day more confident in other aspects of yourself, such as your personality, your abilities, and the more love and help you can bring to other people, you will find your own value and you will no longer be anxious about other things." 」 Because in this world, everyone is not perfect, but we should all accept ourselves. ”
Looking to the future, Chen Mengxi is still clear about the planning and goals after that, and wants to try a variety of roles and strive to expand his own play path. To this end, Chen Mengxi arranged a course for himself to perform, hoping to further improve himself through a solid theoretical foundation. Calm down, update yourself with fresh and rich knowledge, break through bottlenecks, and meet the better roles below.
Dreams and hopes coexist, Chen Mengxi's belief in the future is still firm, after hard work, everything is sunny.
HB Q&A
*
HB: Do you order takeout or cook at home?
Chen Mengxi: Because of work reasons, there is more time to order takeaway, especially when I was in the crew, I did not have this condition to cook. But once in a while, for a festival or something, I may still cook for the sake of ritual. The best dish is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, because I am from the northeast, and people in the northeast may be more accustomed to making some stews, which is like potato stew ribs.
HB: Have you ever controlled your diet for the sake of your body?
Chen Mengxi: There was, but then I found that simply controlling my diet would not make me healthier, but would cause some other problems, so I later gave up dieting and chose exercise.
HB : When did you start being skincare conscious?
Chen Mengxi: I may have had good skin since I was a child, so my skincare awareness is relatively late. When I really found out one day that I started to grow wrinkles, started to sagging my skin, and only became aware of this skin care when I got older. But it's actually a little late, so be sure to start being skincare conscious early. I now look at skin care products more is whether its ingredients are irritating, is not safe enough. Because like often makeup, staying up late, your skin may be more in a sensitive state. Maybe sometimes you are not conscious, the skin is actually very fragile, if it has reached the stage of redness, I may choose calming, soothing, hydrating and other skin care products.
HB: Do you usually pay attention to health problems?
Chen Mengxi: Health care is a must pay attention to, my favorite thing in winter is to soak my feet before going to bed at night. Foot soaking is especially good for girls, because I don't like to drink brown sugar ginger water or the like, so I will go and drink some tea such as red beans, which is better for women.
