Recently, in Youku's popular TV series "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming", the story of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, played by Chen Baoguo and Wang Ji, made a large number of viewers sigh "grounded", "different from the historical dramas focusing on the harem in the past", "a bit of parental love". In an interview with the media, Wang Ji said: "I just want to take the ground again, it seems that the role is now recognized and loved by the audience, or because of grounding." ”
Talking about the reasons for taking over the role of Empress Ma, Wang Ji revealed: "I especially like to play female characters in history, and Empress Ma is also a woman I like very much, so when the agent talked about this drama, I did not hesitate. Plus working with so many old friends, such as Chen Baoguo and Zhang Fengyi, I came. In Wang Ji's view, Empress Ma was a "Xiannaisuke", "Zhu Zhongba and Empress Ma have deep feelings. On the way to Zhu Zhongba's conquest, the support given to him by Empress Ma was immeasurable. Empress Ma also taught him how to treat ordinary people and how to treat subordinates. And she keeps a low profile and does it herself, and they really look like a folk couple."
Wang Ji felt that there were also many similarities between herself and the role of Empress Ma, "Some people in life also say that you have a great aura, in fact, I am a very kind mother at home. I think good women have two sides, one side is kind, the other is majestic, I want to play her as a special simple, virtuous wife, and generous, I think that is the horse queen in my mind."
In "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming", Chen Baoguo, Zhang Fengyi, Wang Ji and other "old drama bones" performances let the audience relish, Wang Ji said that the cooperation with old friends is very tacit understanding, "I have cooperated with Chen Baoguo in several plays, I think there is a bit like him, we are all pursuing the feeling of a thousand faces, I hope that every role in the performance is different." We are not actors of the true colors, but personality actors, personality actors, it is best that each play is very different, I hope to let the audience recognize the role is also the role" "I have known Zhang Fengyi for too many years, and my first drama is to cooperate with him. You know it all too well. In this way, there will not be so much strangeness after meeting, there is no need to re-run in, and you can directly act."
