The TV series "New World" officially ended on Beijing Satellite TV and Oriental Satellite TV on the evening of the 20th. Tian Dan, played by Wan Qian, has created a new heroine color. A double-degree returnee in psychology and logic, proficient in both marksmanship and martial arts, the image of a female Communist Party member with a perfect IQ and skill score slowly unfolds in the 70-episode story, leaving a deep impression on the audience. For actress Wan Qian, this is also the first time she has played such a special character, and she hopes to let people know more about the women of that era through her own interpretation.
"First is a woman, and the second is a female Communist Party member"
In the view of Xu Bing, the screenwriter and director of "New World", he deliberately set up an all-round female protagonist in this story, not only playing the core role of promoting the development of the plot, but also making the "new world" symbolized by the characters have a concrete appearance in front of the three brothers. When Wan Qian first came into contact with the script and the role, she understood the role of Tian Dan in this way: "She has both the perseverance and wisdom of a revolutionary and the softness of a woman. She was strong in the face of the revolutionary cause, but in the face of Xu Tian, Aunt Dao, and Da Miaozi, the ordinary people of Beiping, she was soft, even fragile. ”
Wan Qian explained that everyone had read the script before entering the group and established a preliminary judgment on this character. Because Tian Dan's setting is a southerner from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and she has been injured in the play, she deliberately softened her tone when she spoke, and maintained a weak state of speech, "But I also have to show the firmness of Tian Dan's revolutionary will at all times, so Tian Dan is very resolute in terms of looks and eyes." ”
In the recently broadcast plot, Tian Dan lost his hand when he arrested Tielin, and he cried bitterly on the street when his emotions were difficult to control. This section shows the fragility of the characters, which is also rarely seen when reflecting the positive characters in the past. In Wan Qian's view, this is precisely the feminine side of Tian Dan, "Communist Party members are not steel and iron bones, but also living people." Tian Dan came to Beiping and was not familiar with the place, and when she met the people who lived in Beijing, she really understood here. ”
"Not Sherlock Holmes, but professional inference"
Tian Dan has his own "protagonist aura" from the beginning of his appearance, whether it is the station with one enemy and ten guns to fight the Kuomintang military command, or the "art master is bold" when escaping from prison, the important branch line of the whole drama "Looking for the Little Red Jacket" also has her special credit. Being in prison but able to grasp the developments of the outside world, only based on the information xu Tian found can determine many characteristics of the killer "Little Red Jacket", and even the characteristics of "Little Red Jacket" living alone and making good use of knives are described very accurately. This kind of character setting was ridiculed by the audience as a "female version of Sherlock Holmes", which is like divine help.
For Wan Qian, she did not particularly feel the "deification" of Tian Dan when she read the script and understood the role, in her opinion, the reason why Tian Dan was able to master these skills was actually largely due to her professional quality of studying psychology and logic abroad, "Her understanding of 'Little Red Jacket' depends on a large amount of materials provided by Xu Tian, and the understanding of criminals is also based on psychology and logical inference." ”
As for Tian Dan's one-to-ten enemy at the station and prison escape, Wan Qian also believes that it is actually logically reasonable, "For example, the station is fighting against the military command, in fact, the other side did not really kill her, but also in order to stay alive and want to get more information about the Communist Party, which gave Tian Dan the upper hand." Wan Qian said that the fighting skills of Tian Dan in the drama are Israeli martial arts, in fact, they are also won by small boda with ingenuity. For the "deification" of Tian Dan that everyone discussed, Wan Qian believes that it may be that her martial arts movements are not well learned, "If you can learn more finely, the role may be more realistic, which will make everyone feel less like this." ”
Working with Sun Honglei for the second time, Li Chengru is a "teacher"
The broadcast of "New World" caught up with the New Year's Eve slot, and coincided with the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and Wan Xi stayed at home like most of her peers. As an actor who has always had strict requirements for herself, Wan Xi said that during the epidemic, she repeatedly watched "New World" many times and found that her performance still had many problems.
Recalling the experience of filming in the crew, Wan Qian's tone became relaxed. It is not the first time to cooperate with Sun Honglei, the last time in the TV series "Mr. Good" starring Sun Honglei, Wan Qian also studied psychology, playing the psychologist Xu Li in the play. She laughed that Sun Honglei on the set had the appearance of a big brother, would make everyone happy, and often told jokes in front of the monitor. Zhang Luyi, who played the second brother Tielin, Wan Qian was working with him for the first time, but she also found that Zhang Luyi had a unique cold humor, which was very interesting to get along with. The male protagonist Xu Tian, who plays the most scenes, plays Yin Fang, and Wan Qian bluntly says that the other party is sincere and stubborn, "It is Xu Tian himself." ”
During filming, Wan Qian also made a new friend, Li Chengru, who made a cameo appearance as the owner of the camera shop in the play. Wan Qian revealed that she and Li Chengru would exchange views on the role in the group, and Li Chengru would also talk about his funny story of raising grasshoppers. When "New World" aired, the two often contacted each other to discuss the characters and plot, and "became good teachers and seniors." ”
