The hit drama "Coward" ended, the storyline of the play is very energetic, and many people have to muster up enough courage to dare to open the last few episodes. Wang Yuwen, who plays Huang Shu, is no exception, just finished the killing of another play, she is still cheering herself up, and she has not had the courage to see what happened in the finale of her role. Wang Yuwen is really distressed about Huang Shu (her role in the play), some people lamented that they were touched by the crying scene in her play, but she said, "In fact, when you arrived at that shooting scene, the fear in your eyes and the inner depression did not have to be played at all, that was the most real reaction." ”
In "Coward", Wang Yuwen played Huang Shu.
Wang Yuwen, who studied dance, once had little confidence in filming, but after bravely trying, she found that she seemed to like it: "I got average grades in school, and filming made me suddenly find some sense of accomplishment." Wang Yuwen has always felt that she has good luck, and the works she has encountered are also well received, at first she just regarded filming as a kind of work, and when she found the fun in it, she cherished everything she encountered now, "Every different role can make me full of creative desire." Wang Yuwen said.

Representative works: "Elephant sitting on the ground", "Young Pi", "Coward"
Huang Shu let herself regain the feeling she felt when she was in school
Before seeing the script of "Coward", Wang Yuwen had seen the original novel "Raw Swallow", and the screenwriter of this drama and the author of the original work were the same person - the writer Zheng Zhi. "Huang Shu in the script is more vivid, and in the original book, Huang Shu is more symbolic, but in the play, Teacher Zheng Zhi writes Huang Shu's family background and some growth experiences in more detail." Wang Yuwen said.
The youth suspense drama "Coward" revolves around the changes in the fate of four teenagers in ten years, Huang Shu is an outstanding-looking art student, her father is unknown, her mother is not by her side for many years, and she was fostered in the gambling uncle's house since she was a child. In high school, her mother was wanted by the police for some financial problems, and before her mother disappeared, she was transferred from art academy to a key municipal school, and Huang Shu also met three other teenagers.
The other three of the four teenagers are played by Ou Hao, Zhou Zheng and Hou Wenyuan.
When watching the original "Raw Swallow", Wang Yuwen was very impressed with Huang Shu, especially the picture of her first appearance - Huang Shu was accompanied by the police to the city's key high school, she stood alone next to the podium, and the classmates in the class wantonly booed, "That picture and the beginning, I seem to have a premonition that this girl will have a tragic fate." Before entering the group, the director organized all the main actors to read the script together, "That was the first time everyone read the script from beginning to end, and it was also the last time to read the script before starting, after watching the director told us, the story 'stamina' is too big, let's put it aside first, don't read it again," Wang Yuwen said. The director encouraged the four leading actors to try to eat and play together in the early stage of shooting, so that they could really play together. And the four of them didn't disappoint the director, and it was really like going back to school together.
Although this play is very heavy to see behind, Wang Yuwen feels that when she first filmed, many times it was still very relaxed and happy, "Many scenes are temporary for us to play, and we are not completely in accordance with the script." "For example, there was a scene where the four of them ate McDonald's together, and the director ordered them ice cream," and then we sat by the window in the winter and ate ice cream, and the two boys took a bite, and the ice cream was almost half eaten, and watching them play with each other made me feel so young, like the feeling of going back to school." Wang Yuwen sighed.
The "Snow Corpse Scene" was filmed overnight
Huang Shu in the play has a tragic fate.
In the play, the eighteen-year-old girl Huang Shu died tragically, and she was almost completely naked and abandoned in the snow pit in front of a rotten building. Filming this scene is almost the most "difficult" time in Wang Yuwen's artistic career. The filming location of this play was in the northeast, when the outdoor temperature was around minus twenty degrees Celsius, and on the day of shooting, it also encountered a cold wave, and the wind was very strong, so in the real ice and snow, the body temperature was very low. "Just the scene where I was lying in the snow was filmed for one night, starting at seven or eight o'clock in the morning and preparing until three or four o'clock in the morning." Wang Yuwen recalled. The original plan for that scene was to sprinkle some snowflakes on Wang Yuwen's body, but the real snowflakes immediately melted into water when they met the body temperature, and finally the crew could only use some simulated snow to replace sprinkling on the body, and then cover it with real snow. There is also a scene that impressed Wang Yuwen, in which huang shu, played by her, was violated by several men and imprisoned for 3 days, and she used the money she "compensated" to buy a hearing aid for Qin Li (played by Ou Hao), and the two met and cried in a red brick house. "At that time, the two of us felt so sad to see this scene, the director did not prescribe us lines, and the scene was basically played by ourselves."
The scene where Wang Yuwen killed Qingqing was also the one that impressed her the most, after Qin Li (played by Ou Hao) was deafened by the explosion, she went to the hospital to see him crying. "That scene was actually very short, just two sentences: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you go today." At first, Wang Yuwen acted again, crying a lot, but the director felt that the feelings were not enough, and acted several times, or felt that it was not right. Wang Yuwen began to feel pressure, "Originally I didn't think this scene was difficult, but then I found that I wanted to be simple. Finally, the director inspired Wang Yuwen, "When Qin Li (played by Ou Hao) went out in the morning, you also gave him breakfast and let him eat on the way he went, if you didn't let him go at that time, he wouldn't have become like this", the director's prompt let Wang Yuwen enter the mood at once, "Huang Shu has always longed for the warmth of the family since she was a child, she never got it, Qin Li was her only warmth and hope at that time." I was suddenly so sad that I cried so hard that I couldn't tell the difference between my tears. After filming this, the director said to Wang Yuwen: Congratulations, you have finished!
Start enjoying yourself when you encounter parallel time and space
As a result of learning dance from an early age, Wang Yuwen was successfully admitted to the musical theater major of Beijing Dance Academy in 2015, and it was also the summer vacation after participating in the art examination that she met the invitation to shoot for the first time in her life and participated in the shooting of the youth-themed micro-film "Digital Love" starring Li Yifeng. "My grades in school have always been average, singing, dancing, acting, lines, it seems that there is no particularly prominent place, so with such an opportunity, I thought it would be good to try it." Wang Yuwen said. When she first received this job, Wang Yuwen was super nervous, and she couldn't sleep well for two or three days, "Those days were so nervous that I lost a lot of weight, I would fantasize about many situations, such as not being able to cry, or not being able to get by, and I had to keep shouting." "As a result, after the shooting began, Wang Yuwen found that the shooting was very smooth, basically 1-2 articles passed, which gave her a lot of confidence, and she also found a sense of achievement from it." Mom and Dad were also happy after the filming, and they felt that they could see their daughter on TV and on the Internet. ”
With the first experience, Wang Yuwen then successively starred in the movies "Elephant Sitting on the Ground", "It's Good to Meet You", as well as popular TV series such as "Three Kingdoms Secret Hidden Dragon in the Abyss" and "Young Pi". "In fact, every work means a lot to me." "Elephant Sitting on the Ground" is Wang Yuwen's first film after entering the industry, which means a lot to her, "The overall creative atmosphere of the crew is very good, it is really a group of people who love movies to create together." ”
The movie "Elephant Sits on the Ground".
Wang Yuwen said that in fact, when she first started filming, she only regarded acting as a job, but slowly she felt as if it was a little different, "Especially after filming "Coward", I think it is a particularly happy thing to experience another person's brilliant life from beginning to end. It's like another self in parallel space-time. Wang Yuwen sighed that she is a very lucky actor, from entering the industry to the present, almost every work has created a different role, "including the characters I am playing now are different from before, which has always filled me with creative passion." ”
