On the stage of "China in the Classics", actor Wang Sen successfully portrayed the role of Xu Ai. In order to play Xu Ai well, Wang Sen constantly pondered and understood Wang Yangming's idea of "unity of knowledge and action". In the process of performance, he put himself in the role and fully experienced the emotions and mood of the characters. After playing Xu Ai, the idea of "unity of knowledge and action, not pretending to seek externally" also had a profound impact on him, and even became his requirement for his own life.
As an actor, Wang Sen hopes that the plays he plays can make people feel healed or reflective. At present, he has three works to be broadcast: "Enemy of Fate", "Lady Huozhu", and "Dear Life". Actor Wang Sen, the future can be expected.
A few days ago, in the unit of "China in the Classics", young actor Wang Sen used his superb acting skills to explain to the audience a figure who is not well known to most people, but has a far-reaching influence on future generations - Xu Ai.
"Knowledge and action are one", and the same is true of acting
As a great thinker of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming's idea of "unity of knowledge and action" had a profound impact on future generations, and his beloved disciple Xu Ai made great contributions to the spread of Wang Yangming's thought.
On the stage of "China in the Classics", actor Wang Sen successfully portrayed the role of Xu Ai. Talking about the reason for taking over Xu Ai, Wang Sen said that first of all, Xu Ai's admiration for Wang Yangming's idea of "unity of knowledge and action" has made him gain a lot. Secondly, the feelings of the two people who are also teachers and friends make him feel very moving. As a stage actor, he has acted in film and television dramas for so many years, and he wants to act on the stage again. With such an idea, he took over the role of Xu Ai.
In order to shape Xu Ai, Wang Sen constantly pondered and understood Wang Yangming's idea of "the unity of knowledge and action", and Wang Yangming's actor Xin Baiqing gave him a lot of inspiration. In the play, the two are masters and apprentices, outside the play, Xin Baiqing also talked to Wang Sen about his understanding of Wang Yangming's thought, "Knowledge and action are one, acting is the same, you can't think about it first, and then go to the scene to perform, you only in the process of acting, into the state of the role, this character will be on you, this is the unity of knowledge and action." ”
In the process of performance, Wang Sen put himself in the role and fully experienced the emotions and mood of the characters. Although Xu Ai died young at the age of 31, the friendship between Wang Yangming and him was very deep, and Wang Yangming even said that Xu Ai was to himself, just like Yan Yuan was to Confucius. There is a scene where Wang Yangming saw Xu Ai in his dream after Xu Ai's death to help him complete the spread of his thoughts, he looked at Xu Ai who came from across the stage with a trance-like but full of emotion, and at the moment when he looked at Xin Baiqing, Wang Sen said: "When I saw that look, I fell into it at once." The audience at the scene was also infected by the emotional interpretation of Wang Sen and Xin Baiqing, and many people were moved to tears.
After playing Xu Ai, the idea of "unity of knowledge and action, not pretending to seek outside" has a very profound impact on him, which may come from the happiness of being an actor, when you have a deep feeling and understanding of a certain thought, it will leave an imprint, invisibly affecting your thinking and action. Nowadays, the plaque of "Unity of Knowledge and Action" is hung in Wang Sen's home, which has also become his requirement for his own life.
Most want to play the lone agent who saves the world
Since his debut, actor Wang Sen has made the audience remember him with his handsome appearance, excellent acting skills, and a series of works such as "To the Youth We Will Eventually Pass Away", "Tiger Mother and Cat Father", "Surgical Storm", "Wolf Warrior" and so on. In the acting variety show, Wang Sen interpreted a series of classic roles and showed the potential of treasure actors.
In fact, Wang Sen thinks that he is not a talented actor, and he revealed that in his first year of college, he was repeatedly hit because he could not find a performance for a long time. In his sophomore year, he met a lame character, and he suddenly felt that he had found the role and the state of the performance. After that, he experienced a group performance, which allowed him to gradually build up his confidence in acting.
To this day, he still remembers playing a Japanese soldier lying on the ground, lying motionless on the ground in the winter, and insisting on not moving when changing positions. It just so happened that this scene was seen by the director, who said to the staff: "In the future, I will find more group performances like this." He was particularly happy to hear this. After graduating from college, the tempering of stage drama has made a qualitative leap in his acting skills. Today, recalling the experience of being a stage actor, Wang Sen is still deeply impressed, he said that on the stage he felt the pleasure of being an actor, hiding behind the role, feeling the role, and affecting the audience's emotions. Later, he began to seek opportunities in film and television dramas.
Soon after entering the film and television industry, Wang Sen emerged in the film and television circle with the role of Wang Yaming, Lin Jing's college roommate in "To the Youth We Will Eventually Pass Away", and although he did not play much in that work, he left an impression on the audience. Later, in the movie "Wolf Warrior", he played the history of special forces. Because of the love of pondering, the performance of the attention to details, coupled with the encounter with some nobles, got their help, many excellent film and television works have found him, "Tiger Mother and Cat Father", "Surgical Storm", "Juvenile Class", "People Are Not Tough Teenagers", etc., hidden in the role of "one person and a thousand faces" Conversion freely, without a trace of the performance, let the audience remember this recognizable face.
Good acting skills are never achieved overnight, Wang Sen's hard work is reflected in various roles, the filming of "Wolf Warrior" is in July and August, filming in Nanjing, and in the jungle, the actors' clothes are put on for less than a while, they can be soaked with sweat and wringed out of the water. It is also necessary to dismantle and unload guns and cross the jungle, which is hard to say. But he said that either he would not act, and if he wanted to act, he must take the most serious attitude.
As a child from a military family, in the process of growing up, he has been spurred by his parents to suffer hardships and want to be spoiled, and he will be pushed away. After going to college at the age of 17, he began to work in the restaurant, and this kind of education allowed Wang Sen to develop an independent and strong personality, and he never cared about "bitterness" when playing a role. Talking about the type of role he most wanted to play, he admitted that the role he most wanted to play was a lone agent who worked very hard, trained, and finally saved the world.
He said that if he really went to play the hegemonic type of love scene, it might be a challenge for him. Wang Sen laughed and said that he had also complained to the staff why he had not played the role of a domineering president, wearing a suit every day to talk about love, spending money like water, and the staff quipped: "Maybe you look more like a hard-working child." ”
Observe the world as your own stage
Born in 1989, Wang Sen, who is 32 years old and has been in the industry for nearly a decade, has created many excellent characters, but the audience knows very little about what kind of person he is.
Talking about this, Wang Sen said that in the past, he always felt that he had to be a good actor and play every role well, he liked to hide behind the role, and felt that there was no need to tell everyone what kind of person he was. In real life, he is also a bit shy, always trying to protect himself through different types of roles. Later, he began to realize that each role was played by himself, and as an actor, there was no way to completely hide behind the role. He realized to be brave enough to express himself. "I hope that in the eyes of everyone, I am a very serious person, work hard to do my part, and can bring happiness to everyone." 」
Nowadays, in addition to filming, he will also go to the short video platform to send some small videos and do live broadcasts, which is a process of practice and trial and error. Red or not red, Wang Sen gave a very frank answer, "I did what I should do in my cognitive range, and the rest just let nature take its course." ”
After years of experience, Wang Sen's mentality is also more peaceful, and he understands that fame is more like a natural success. In 2011, he won the best actor in a college student film festival with the micro-film "Research Report", at that time, he felt that he was very strong, and he could walk sideways at school, but the pleasure of honor soon passed, and what to do the next day. So in his opinion, acting is basic. "Instead of thinking about how to speak when you win an award every day, it is better to do what is in front of you."
As an actor, he always has high requirements for himself, and he hopes that the plays he plays can make people feel healed or reflective, rather than seeing it and ending it. At present, he has three works to be broadcast, in "Enemy of Fate", he played a character with a bit of heroism, and in "Lady Hu Zhu" he interpreted three identities. In the recently released "Dear Life", the medical worker was played. He said that the role he is playing now is getting closer and closer to what he likes or wants to express.
Compared with his 20-something self, 32 years old realizes that his daily experiences and perceived things are growth and wealth for himself, and he even expects what his 42-year-old and 52-year-old self will look like. When there is no work, Wang Sen likes to walk alone on the street at night, order a kebab and sit on the side of the road, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the road, "blending into the crowd that has just left work, and seeing the world with fireworks, especially vivid." ”
He said that observing the world as his own stage will always be the source of his creation.
