Dreams and reality, how will you choose?
Put it on Wu Sheng, he didn't have a choice.
On April 16, the movie "Vitality" starring Gong Zhengnan will land in theaters across the country, and he plays Wu Sheng in the film. He is weak and righteous, he is obedient and resolute, he is insignificant but immeasurable.
Perhaps, Wu Sheng is what people often call "small people" in the popular sense. However, the pain of survival of small people is the most speechless and helpless. They often become small and helpless because they are unable to grasp the status quo to change their destiny, and they seem to be somewhat humble from material to spiritual.
In order to play this flesh-and-blood "little person", gong Zhengnan, after getting this role with a huge contrast with himself, the first thing he did was to dig out the flash points on Wu Sheng's body, and then he leaned himself on the role, maximized the value of the role with his own characteristics, and magnified these flash points. Under his interpretation, "little people" can also live extraordinary lives.
Gong Zhengnan said that a good role should have points that can make the audience empathize, big and small, forward and retreat, dreams and reality, these thoughts on fate are the keys to entering the audience's heart.
In the face of the world, people will always feel their smallness at a certain moment, like a speck of dust in the vast universe. In the face of difficulties, some people are vulnerable, but some people are indestructible, allowing the arrival of wind and rain and not shrinking back. Shakespeare said in Hamlet, "Survival or destruction, it's a question." So what choice will the "little man" Wu Sheng make in the face of survival and destruction? In the face of the injustice of fate, is it self-hatred and self-pity or is it not afraid of hardships and dares to think and fight?
People watching "Vitality" need more than just the answers to the questions, but the deep reasons and emotions behind these choices. Gong Zhengnan, with the portrayal of the role of Wu Sheng, tells the audience that even if they are trapped by reality at the moment, as long as there is still faith in their hearts, the curve of fate will eventually return to the right track.
In the struggle against fate, Wu Sheng's every step is very decisive, in order to survive he can put himself very low, in order to protect the inner world he desperately fights. What supports Wu Sheng's continuous growth are the two dreams he has always had in his heart, one is a musical dream and the other is a hero dream. Until the end, it can be said that his dream has come true, it can also be said that his dream is broken, no matter what you see, you must have already got the answer in your heart, which is the charm of the role of Wu Sheng.

Looking at Gong Zhengnan's many works, whether it is Qin Huaizhang in "Mountain and River Order", Li Juqi in "Wolf Highness", Bamboo Dye in "Flowers and Bones", Tilting Blade in "Magic City", Yin Liting in "Dragon Slaughter in The Heavens", Chen Can in "Eye of the Storm", Zhou Xiang in "Daddy Is Home", Louis in "Return the World to You", Allen in "Alien Girl Chai Xiaoqi", Lu Xiaofan in "Partial love with you"...
Every time he can make the character show a different temperament, can be obvious, can be poor, suitable for the past and the present, good and evil, and extremely malleable. For actors, playing a good type of role still requires accumulated observation, Gong Zhengnan can do a person with a thousand faces to innovate, and constantly bring surprises to the audience, the efforts made can be imagined.
For the role of Wu Sheng, Gong Zhengnan said that this is a rather tense image, his life is tortuous and materialistic, but the inner world is complex and confused and firm, and the persistence and yearning for hope that Wu Sheng exudes make him feel a lot, and it is this that makes Gong Zhengnan have sufficient room to play in performance.
