Fast forward to April, and the popularity of "The World of Man" is still not replaced by a series.
Its success is related to the memory of the "home" that hits the Chinese with details, and at the same time, those incomparably vivid characters not only carry the public's memories of the 70s and 90s of the last century, but also compose a group portrait of a group of real ordinary Chinese with different personalities and destinies.
In this group of portraits, Cai Xiaoguang, who was commented by netizens as an "ideal in the world", is no less than the existence of Zheng Juan: he is Zhou Rong's silent guardian from her youth to middle age before waiting for the expectations of the other party; he is transparent, free but not wandering... In all these cases, the audience can't help but ask: Can there really be Cai Xiaoguang in this world?
"I believe in the existence of this emotion, and I also believe that there will still be people like Xiaoguang in life, but it is a matter of whether the proportion is more or less." In a recent visit to the WeChat group of Jiangsu Satellite TV, Wang Yang, who really ushered in the "spring" of the actor's career because of the role of Cai Xiaoguang, said so.
Does the "human ideal" Cai Xiaoguang exist in reality?
"I believe in the existence of such people"
Jimu News: As a performer, your understanding of Cai Xiaoguang is very important.
Wang Yang: I think in "The World of Man", every character and every character is a very attractive person, and Cai Xiaoguang is also the same. I admire him in many places, this man has a lot of excellent qualities, he lives very open-minded, very transparent, the perspective of the problem is very macroscopic. Moreover, I think he is very sunny and positive, and he is also very tolerant and accommodating.
Jimu News: What do you think of the audience's evaluation of him as a "human ideal"?
Wang Yang: This character is indeed an ideal person. I also think it's too perfect compared to the other characters in the play. But I believe that this kind of man still exists in life, but the proportion is more or less. Many of the qualities in Xiaoguang's body are quite impressive, and they also impress me.
Jimu News: Many viewers fall in love with Xiaoguang because of Xiaoguang's emotional attachment to Zhou Rong, but some viewers feel that such people may only eventually move themselves if they are placed in reality.
Wang Yang: I think it is not easy to achieve Xiaoguang. First of all, I myself and Cai Xiaoguang are such a perfect and ideal character that there is actually not much comparison, and I don't want to assume that if it is myself, can I do this, because using my Own Standards to measure Cai Xiaoguang will not be objective enough and not fair enough.
Some people mentioned that the end of Xiaoguang in real life may only move himself, and I also want to ask the person who said this: Is it possible that someone like Xiaoguang can't move him when he appears in real life? If we can say that in life we can know a person like Cai Xiaoguang, a woman who can hold on to this emotion in her heart and do a lot of things for her without asking for anything in return, is it not enough to move us? I'll be impressed anyway. If there are viewers who insist on thinking so, I think that maybe they are still less emotionally emotional.
Extreme News: You believe in the existence of such people.
Wang Yang: Anyway, as the person who interprets Cai Xiaoguang, I believe that this emotion exists, and I also believe that there must be someone like Cai Xiaoguang. Like I said, whether we can meet or not, whether there are such people around us who can let us know is one thing, but it does not mean that such people do not exist, such men do not exist, such emotionally focused men do not exist, I think not. In addition, I think That Cai Xiaoguang's feelings for Zhou Rong are a portrayal of emotionally focused men and women, and it is also a group portrait portrayal of an emotionally focused crowd.
How could Zhou Rong not be worthy of Xiaoguang?
"Whether the shoes fit or not is known only to yourself"
Jimu News: During the broadcast of the plot, there are some voices, such as the audience does not want Xiaoguang to accept Zhou Rong, thinking that she is too good to deserve Xiaoguang, what do you think of this voice?
Wang Yang: Isn't there an old saying? Whether the shoe fits or not is known only to themselves. There is also the fact that you like a person, love a person, you are willing to be good to her, it does not matter how others look at it, because other people's feelings and cognition are not accurate enough, they are not getting along with the person opposite you.
Therefore, the most powerful voice is Still Cai Xiaoguang himself, I think no one deserves and who is not worthy of whom, I am comfortable, happy, I feel immersed in this feeling will get a lot of happiness, then what else to talk about is not worthy? Even if the other party is not worthy of herself in the eyes of everyone, but she can give herself a lot of happiness, happiness, and satisfaction, is it still important that other people's cognition? This is what I said for Xiaoguang.
As Wang Yang himself, I can especially understand and agree with Xiaoguang's choice, not to mention that Zhou Rong in the later period also made a lot of concessions, adjustments, changes, to pay for Xiaoguang and even help him to fight for some opportunities, isn't this all a very warm and touching thing? Therefore, Xiao Guang's choice was right, and Zhou Rong was completely worthy of him.
Jimu News: What do you think is the reason why Xiaoguang and Zhou Rong can come together? Some viewers believe that they are essentially the same people.
Wang Yang: I don't completely agree, in my opinion, Xiaoguang and Zhou Rong are not exactly the same person. Zhou Rong is a woman who lives too pure, idealistic, and perfect, so she decides that she is in such a state when she faces the things and conditions around her; and Xiaoguang is exactly the opposite. We can understand that their behavior logic and way of receiving people and treating things are different, that is actually the characteristics they reflect from their essence, which is very different.
I just think that they are all kind people, they are all people who are passionate about life, but they are not exactly the same, and it is precisely because of this that they will be "complementary", Xiaoguang sees things transparently, and Zhou Rong is a pure ideal, so their complementary lives in the later stage will appear harmonious and perfect.
Jimu News: "Let's get married, not sympathy, it is love", some viewers feel that the plot of Xiaoguang's marriage proposal is relatively "light", how did you deal with it at that time?
Wang Yang: My understanding of that scene is that Xiaoguang's feelings for Zhou Rong have always been a state of not asking for returns, and being able to go through so much and finally come together is actually a state of knowing each other and being more pleased, rather than saying: Oh, I finally got you! You finally agreed to be with me!
I personally feel that this is not the case, but the faint emotion, in my opinion, is more real and more touching. In fact, sometimes, the great joy and great compassion in life are completely unnecessary to really go to great joy and great compassion, and it is only when it is so light that it is more powerful.
Jimu News: The play is still not the same as the original, and Cai Xiaoguang in the original is actually completely unspecified in terms of emotions.
Wang Yang: I think some adjustments in the play, changes in the setting of the characters, must have its reasons and reasons. It is true that there is a big difference between Cai Xiaoguang in the novel and Xiaoguang in the current play in terms of emotion and later experience, but I think that any role setting in this play has its meaning and role, if a play is too grounded, too real, or is not so ideal in our understanding of the characters, I will feel less "light".
The reason why Cai Xiaoguang is called "the ideal of the world" in this play is because he is too perfect and too romantic, so there is such a character setting, in fact, it is also in response to everyone's yearning - there are "human ideals" in a play, and there are people who really live in the human world.
Spring that belongs to actor Wang Yang is coming?
"Actually, I've been working and living in the spring."
Jimu News: Too many people like you because of this play, do you feel that the spring that belongs to actor Wang Yang has come?
Wang Yang: If I go more smoothly every year than the previous year, I can play more of the roles I want to play, become more active, my market value has become more, and the most important thing is that many audiences have recognized, then I think that maybe my spring is coming. But I also never felt that in the past few years, when I was not well known to so many people, it was not my spring, and "my spring has not arrived" is more about how others look at it than how I feel.
Maybe for some friends, I think that Wang Yang may now be recognized by more audiences is that spring is coming, in fact, in my personal opinion, I have been with a very positive and sincere state to face each of my roles and jobs, I am using a "in the spring" state, to face their work.
As for the question of "the drama red people are not red", this is a dialectical thing - sometimes some people are really on fire when the drama is on fire; sometimes the actors without fire are also on fire; sometimes the actors who are on fire are not on fire...
So I think the most important thing about being an actor is to recognize yourself: what your job is. For me, the word "actor" is used to define Wang Yang. I'm not a star, nor am I an idol. So for an actor, saying that he is "red", I think it goes to another level - he may become a public figure, he will become an idol, he will become a star... This and actor are two concepts.
So I am more of a year, I have positioned myself as an actor, can be known by more people better, can be more people are certainly better, but said that I have never been red or "drama red people are not red", I have no such trouble. One is because I have already lived to this age, and the other is to recognize what my essence is, and I am very happy to feel the work and life I experience every day.
Wang Yang: Yes, the child is only a little more than a year old, and I am also an old father. I think everyone may have to face how to balance work and life, as a father, how to spend as much time as possible with my little daughter after work, is also a new topic for me, I always think that you can't just look at one head, just look at how to allocate your energy and emotional time, including the understanding of life, to career and family.
In this way, not only can I have a better state to work at this stage and realize my corresponding value; on the other hand, I can also interpret the identity of the father better, and I can do my part for my children, my family, and my wife, instead of saying that I will throw all the burdens to the family as soon as I shoot a scene, I think that is not appropriate, it is as balanced as possible.
