Broken bridge Rotten tailed building tower to be exploded

A continuous rain

A group of "sacrificers" of desire

A tragedy of resentment and lamentation

This... It's the world of Broken Bridge

Interview with Zhao Runnan, | "Broken Bridge": Interpreting a Disorderly Life and Seeking a "Dramatic" Future

The film "Broken Bridge" tells the story of the sudden collapse of the Huangque City Bridge, the appearance of a human skeleton buried alive for many years in the pier, and the story of the deceased's daughter Wen Xiaoyu embarking on the road of truth and revenge with the help of a boy who calls himself Meng Chao.

In "Broken Bridge", there is a young police officer who shuttles between black and white, seeks order in disorder, and seeks hope for the innocent; He had seen Wen Xiaoyu's back, and he had also firmly grasped Meng Chao's hand in the hope that he could have a new life.

In this issue of the good drama Bang interview, invited the actor of the hot-blooded and righteous police officer "Xu Ye" "Zhao Runnan" to share with you the story behind his and "Broken Bridge"...

In 2017, Zhao Runnan's participation in the cultivation network roundup "Beauty Youth Society" officially debuted; Later partners Zhou Dongyu and Yi Yanqianxi starred in their first film "Young You", in which they played "Xiao Bei"," a good brother who suffered and shared common problems, "Dakang".

It is precisely because of this outstanding performance in "Young You", Zhao Runnan has been appreciated and recognized by people in the industry; He was taken in by the "Broken Bridge" team and recommended him to play the upright and brave young policeman "Xu Ye".

A challenge from body to heart

Talking about these two performance experiences, Zhao Runnan said: In fact, Dakang and Xu Ye have a certain commonality, both of them are very kind, and they both have the feeling that the boy is childish; But Xu Ye had one more layer of the process of growth and transformation.

As a young policeman who has just graduated from the police academy, Xu Ye was still relatively simple and straightforward in the early stage, and his idea in his heart was to let all bad people and things be punished by the law, and his intelligence or true thoughts in his heart were also undisguised. But in the later stage, after hunting down "Meng Chao" and then going to see the detonator, in fact, he has begun to change, and he can calm down and take responsibility.

Zhao Runnan admitted that this is the first time he has played such a very decent role, there are many police stations and arrests of prisoners in the film, so at the beginning he was still a bit "scared", and he would worry about whether he could stand the role of "Xu Ye", which was a challenge from body to heart.

In order to be able to better bring in the role, Zhao Runan will bring the costume (police uniform) back to the hotel every day, and when shooting, he will directly wear clothes to the set, and sometimes he will eat next to the hotel after work, and he will also wear the police uniform directly. Integrate Xu Ye and real life as much as possible to maintain a "co-existing" state of life.

In the interview, Zhao Runnan once stressed that the identity of the police is not the most important, the important role of "Xu Ye" itself. If the character himself stands, then his identity as a policeman will be clear to the audience. So it requires constantly getting to know your opponents and constantly grinding into each other...

When Wang Junkai and I practiced (playing) in the early stage, we could obviously feel that his coordination was very good, and he gave me a lot of constructive advice on many action presentations and designs; Even if we are both injured, we will care for each other and understand each other's situation. In the process of getting along, the tacit understanding is slowly cultivated, so when it comes to shooting, it will be relatively smooth, each other can catch each other's scenes, and the character personality will naturally show up.

Fate does not lack choices, and there is no shortage of action in the future

"Because we are our peers, I wrote you a letter."

Many netizens were instantly defended by the letter meng chao wrote to Xu Ye. Zhao Runnan said in this regard: In fact, as far as Xu Ye's own character is concerned, he will not burst out too many feelings at the first time he sees this letter, and there will be no feeling of sadness rushing into his heart or sour nose in an instant; On the contrary, in the end, he took Xiaoyu and blueberries and held snowflakes to the cemetery, and after seeing the tombstones of Wen Liang and Meng Chao, he would have a greater touch, and it was difficult to get out of this emotion. Because he would blame himself, if he could have been faster or did not recklessly break into Meng Chao's house at that time, but chose to talk to Meng Chao calmly, the end of the matter may not be like this.

Leaving aside the truth of human nature that the film wants to touch and explore, the "choice" of each character in the film has long foreshadowed their fate. Zhu Fangzheng chose to use unscrupulous means to satisfy greed, Wen Xiaoyu chose to deviate from the legal path in order to hand blade the enemy, meng Chao chose to sacrifice himself in order to protect Xiaoyu...

And 22-year-old Zhao Runnan, in order to realize his life ideals, also made every choice seriously... In order to make his music known and heard by more people, he chose to become a professional singer-songwriter; He does not give up any opportunity to enter the public vision, shoots seriously, breaks through himself in different fields with practical actions, and allows himself to step closer to his dream.

He once said: "Whether acting or making music, the best state you can set yourself is that there are no boundaries, no so-called untouched parts."

When talking about "expectations for his future", Zhao Runnan frankly said that acting and singing are equally important to himself, as long as he chooses to do it, he must do it well; I hope that I can receive a male role in the next one or two years, continue to try different styles in music, send a new EP, and produce more self-directed and self-acting MVs (ps: the single "Way Too Far" mv is Zhao Runnan's self-directed self-acting and completed).

Write the future with different identities

"I was kneaded into black and white and thought of the colors of spring."

Wait for the wounds to be uncovered, ridiculous pros and cons."

The above lyrics come from Zhao Runnan's promotional song "There is You in Disorder" composed by Zhao Runnan for the movie "Broken Bridge".

In this song, we can clearly feel Zhao Runnan's outline and annotation of "Broken Bridge" as a "person in the play" and a "bystander", and the bondage and core presented in the song give us a new understanding of the film.

Zhao Runnan revealed to the editor that this song has changed many versions of the lyrics, which is also the only song he has written and finally named the song. At that time, he also took "Disorder Finally Has You", "Lullaby of the Night", and "Song in Silence", but he thought that the last two song titles were too abstract and dark, and did not have the meaning of redemption that he wanted to express.

"Although sometimes people are very powerless in the face of fate, fortunately, under this chaos, disorder, and powerlessness, there must be someone who wants to push you into the light and leave himself in the darkness.

During the interview, when talking about the understanding of "actors", Zhao Runnan gave the answer that "it is like playing a game of cultivation, which is quite interesting." He explained: In the long acting journey, we can't always receive a good script or a good role, but every experience, it will give us "nourishment"; This is all experience and accumulation, and it is a process of gradual growth. It is important that we learn to discern and trade off in these nutrients, and retain the positive and positive and what we need, which is what I want to express as a "cultivation game".

He also said that the shape of his long hair and short hair feel completely different, so he hopes that he will have the opportunity to play some slightly age-sensitive or villain roles in the future, and want to try more different character images, experience more roles and more life under the image.
