Since January this year, actor Chen Jinru's online related entries have appeared in "Wind Rising Neon Dress" and "Shangyang Fu", and two large-scale large-scale TV series have been broadcast successively, which has brought attention to the industry and the public for this emerging newcomer actor. Netizens are keen to discuss Chen Jinru with the name in the play - "My grandfather is chanting, and it is not easy for the Seventh Lady!" "Concubine Shizi, you are really responsible for the scale." The kind and astute embroidery lady Deng Qiniang in "The Wind Rises", the princess Huan Mi in "Shangyang Fu", including the eighth princess Luo Xi who dared to love and hate in "East Palace" earlier, are all the stage achievements of Chen Jinru as an actor. The scenes are delicate and outstanding, as she herself said, "There is not a single waste play." ”
Since her debut, Chen Jinru's many roles have different images, and they are not all pleasing characters, but under her hard work, each role has shown a unique charm and has been highly recognized by the audience and netizens. In particular, Deng Qiniang of "The Wind Rises" has a "frightened physique" and ignorant feelings, which adds some interestingness to this story that takes place in Sheng Tang. In "Shangyang Fu", the hidden patience and eager, complex and devious life course of The Princess Huanmi of the World, and the chastity of the struggle to the death, are all accurately grasped by this young Qingdao girl. Chen Jinru has always remembered director Hou Yong's instructions, "The actor's sense of proportion." While in awe, I poured my heart into a fictional character, earnestly and steadily, "The work is my confidence." ”
The performance is the outward sincerity of Chen Jinru, and she also touches more realistic textures through performance.

As the first costume drama to be starred in 2021, "The Wind Rises" was broadcast in the golden file of Hunan Satellite TV, backed by more than one million words of original IP, which has attracted a lot of attention since the beginning of broadcasting. The story tells the love story between the Hu nu Ku Di Liuli, who has a great talent for making clothes, and Pei Xingjian, a teenager who has not met for many years, interspersed with the power struggle and cultural changes during the Zhenguan years.
At the same time, the production of the whole drama also restores the magnificent buildings and lively streets to the greatest extent according to the original work, showing the boundless style of the Tang Dynasty, which shows the intentions of the crew. With such a large-scale production, coupled with the popularity of the two leading actors Gulinazha and Xu Weizhou, the topic discussion related to "The Wind Rises and The Neon Dress" is frequently on the hot search, and the popularity is abnormal.
However, Chen Jinru, who participated in it, said, "I didn't have much confidence in the early stage of the broadcast, and I would be very nervous when I read the comments." The character she plays is Deng Qiniang of the Shangfu Bureau, a kind and cautious embroidery lady who is even a little cowardly. Different from the setting of other side line characters, the role played by Qiniang in the play is more ingenious, and it is basically in a semi-hidden state in the early stage, and it does not show mountain dew. After experiencing some twists and turns, he came to the camp of the heroine Kudi Liuli and became the heroine's right-hand man.
Kudi Liuli, played by Gulinaza, is the main character throughout the play, and the design of the plot is also based on her transformation and growth, including the increasing escalation of love and friendship. Because the focus is on the female character, other female characters related to it are bound to shoulder the same magnitude of mission. In addition to fixed villains and historical archetypes, Deng Qiniang, the ordinary embroidery lady of the Shangfu Bureau, is another dark line representing the growth of women. From being cautious and obedient to people, to bravely "standing in line" and helping Liuli "fight monsters and upgrade", the most critical part of the growth story line of the character of Qiniang is the transformation of Qiniang's feelings for Liuli.
"The Wind Rises" Deng Qiniang and Kudi Liuli "Because Qiniang had a hidden affection for LiuLi in the early stages, there was a very delicate feeling in it. "The dividing line that Chen Jinru designed for the character is in the plot of learning that Liu Li is actually a daughter. In the early stage, Qiniang's feelings for Liuli were mixed with the girl's spring heart, and she would be silently shy and moved because of Liuli's smile, and in the later period, Qiniang's sincerity and loyalty to Liuli was as a close friend, in order to rescue her friends and help her friends to avenge, she could pour out all her energy. In order to better present the transformation of the Seventh Lady in the early and late stages, Chen Jinru spent a lot of thought on the details, cautious and brave to follow, and the two completely different personalities need to rely on a lot of details in life to describe. This is undoubtedly difficult for a newcomer actor. In the stage when "The Wind Rises" was just broadcast, Chen Jinru's worries also stemmed from here. "Qiniang is the kind of character I have never been in contact with before, looking cautious and patient, and her expression of feelings is also quite restrained, in fact, the heart is exquisite." And Chen Jinru is an authentic Shandong girl, cheerful and outgoing, and it is not easy for her to contain her own characteristics to portray the role. "When the drama first began to air, the pressure was quite high, and it was not until I slowly saw the warm messages of netizens and fans that my confidence gradually built up."
Peeling off the story shell of "The Wind Rises", the core is still in human nature, especially the life under the gaze of women. Deng Qiniang was a very ordinary embroidery lady in the Palace Shangfu Bureau, but she was able to overcome all difficulties, distinguish between good and evil, and bravely adhere to the morality in her heart, which was very rare in the society at that time. What is even more rare is that Chen Jinru can withstand the pressure, truly touch the temperature of that layer of reality, and create a textured character image. Although the role is small, the drama is bigger than the sky. In the interview, Chen Jinru shared a lot of shooting details on the set, especially the crying scene of handkerchiefs, when the temperature in the studio exceeded 40 degrees, she and Naza were sweating and crying, crying so that their eyelashes fell off. Because she still does not know the true identity of the person in front of her, Qiniang must show her heart and shyness in addition to being sad, and the emotional level is very delicate, "quite overwhelmed, that is, slowly push the emotion." To some extent, Chen Jinru and Deng Qiniang actually have certain similarities, which is also the overlap between actors and characters - there is no flowery rhetoric, the wording is very simple, but it is sincere. Through the conversation with her, you can also feel the truth in her expression, and the sincerity and awe of the performance. "I just want to act well and live up to every role."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the emotion is set on the yang, and its heart can be expressed</h1>
Broadcast almost at the same time as "The Wind Rises" is another high-profile costume blockbuster "Shangyang Fu". As the first TV series of Zhang Ziyi's career, the cast and production team of "Shangyang Fu" can be described as luxurious. From the start to the broadcast, the discussion caused by the whole network is also unprecedented, and by the time of the interview, the network broadcast volume of the drama has exceeded 5 billion. If "The Wind Rises" is a challenge for Chen Jinru to herself, to try a role type that has never been seen before, then "Shangyang Fu" is a valuable experience for the more youthful and naïve Chen Jinru in film and television performance. "Being able to act with so many actors and work with well-known directors is a very important and inexhaustible asset in my life."
"Shangyang Fu" Chen Jinru as Shizi Concubine Huan Mi Chen Jinru played Shi Zi Fei Huan Mi in "Shangyang Fu", and Zhang Ziyi, Jia Yiping and famous actors have many rival plays, and these predecessors also take good care of her. "At that time, I had just entered the industry, and in such a high-standard crew, I was very serious about every scene and carefully performed it. I also got a lot of help and inspiration on the set, and I was very grateful. "Huan Mi was born into a warrior clan and had a brilliant appearance, but it was this noble status and beautiful appearance that made her a victim of politics and eventually martyrdom." Combined with the factors of the times, this character has its inherent complexity, the family lintel and the shackles of upbringing are deeply rooted, and the pursuit of love and freedom also surges in the hearts of the characters, and the shackles of fate cause fierce contradictions. It can be said that Huan Mi is the "representative of rebellion" in the whole play, and under her weak and cold appearance, there is an extremely deep loneliness and indifference hidden, which is used as a protest to express accusations. The male characters in "Shangyang Fu" are enslaved by authority and frantically compete for the supreme throne, while the female characters are distorted by the royal power, or actively or forced to marry and have children, and are involved in the endless turmoil of political power. And the seemingly delicate Huan Mi, after being forced to marry Shizi Wang Su (Jia Yiping), who she did not like, and became the sister-in-law of Wang Yi (Zhang Ziyi), she always rebelled coldly and persistently, and even stole affection as a princess of the world, fighting for the freedom of love, and finally martyred for ZiLu (Pu Bajia), using this life to win the greatest degree of soul freedom. At that time, he was walking alone in the army of counter-rebellion, and his arrogance was strong and bone-chilling, and he suddenly came out of the dust.
Chen Jinru summed it up in one sentence: "Huan Mi is a tragic woman, from the moment she was born, her life was doomed to not be able to make her own decisions. ”
However, such a weak and delicate famous person has made a master for himself once in death. When she was forced to marry Wang Su, she had no choice, but in the end, she chose to die with the man she loved most. That was the bravest decision huan mi had made in her life. Compared with the ending of Deng Qiniang, Huan Mi's tragic ending touched the audience's heart even more. In the process of TV series broadcasting, Chen Jinru also observed her performance episode by episode, reviewing the gains and losses contained in the performance, "Watching these plays now, I will feel a little regretful in my heart, because I feel that I can do better." "Shangyang Fu" was filmed three years ago, when Chen Jinru first entered the industry and cooperated with many predecessors, and the nervousness in her heart did not ease for a long time, and she did not dare to express her opinion when discussing the details on the spot. It is the encouragement and care of the actors Jia Yiping and Zhang Ziyi and the directors, so that she gradually and bravely expresses her understanding of the play and the characters, and can also design some of her own demeanor actions. Huan Mi had a very wonderful "confrontation" with her husband Wang Su, the two people were pregnant with ghosts, the undercurrent was surging and they had to pretend to be extremely calm and indifferent on the surface. Chen Jinru remembered that the scene was filmed by director Hou Yong, and the eye movements and body language were carefully adjusted by the director a little bit, so as to reflect the urgency and entanglement of the characters' hearts. "In the end, I finally fell to the ground really nervous, and I can fully empathize with Huan Mi's psychological pressure." The last scene of martyrdom benefited from Zhang Ziyi's care. Before entering the counterinsurgency army, Huan Mi was held hostage, but that day Chen Jinru's hair was combed very neatly by the makeup artist, and she couldn't see the panic at all, Zhang Ziyi realized this problem when she walked the play, and proposed that Huan Mi's hair could not be so clean, and it had to be messed up to meet the character status. In the end, her messy hair, pale makeup, and bright blood achieved the grand release of Huan Mi's life at the end of her life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Huaijin holds Yu, cheerful and free</h1>
The two roles of Deng Qiniang and Huan Mi have come to an end with the end of the play, and the heat of online discussion is still continuing. The identities and endings of the two women are completely different, but the influence and feeling of the audience are long and long. In particular, Huan Mi is poignant and moving, and has not been blocked in the group portraits gathered in the drama bones, and Wu Zi exudes a unique tragic beauty. Netizens have drawn Q version characters, continued to write Fan wai and fan works, in order to express their love. This is also where Chen Jinru is very moved, "I have been carefully reading everyone's comments, good, bad, will look, this is the fruit of my efforts." The performance is the result of the joint efforts of a group of people, and the final broadcast of a play will inevitably condense the countless painstaking efforts in front of and behind the scenes. Chen Jinru does not shy away from playing a supporting role. She is very frank, and in the interview, she dissected the truest voice in her heart: "My mentality has always been quite peaceful, and I just want to shoot the scene in a down-to-earth and serious way." And the number of scenes is not subjectively controllable, what she can do is that no matter how many scenes there are, decent villains, they do their best to complete the part entrusted to themselves, and they work hard to achieve "no waste play.". Chen Jinru has gradually emerged in recent years, leaving wonderful performances in many popular dramas. The contrast between the protagonist and the supporting role, the leap between film and television drama and drama, including the experience of running a group silently, have become an unavoidable topic in her career, and she has shown a firm and strong personal quality in the face of cruel reality like the roles she has played. "When I first graduated, I ran a group interview and kept hitting a wall, but in fact, my confidence was almost destroyed. I never felt that what was taken for granted, just do my own thing in a down-to-earth manner, although there were some difficulties, but it also made my heart as an actor firmer. ”
Coupled with the cultivation of growing up in Qingdao, Shandong Province, the open island makes Chen Jinru have a lingering cheerfulness and enthusiasm. "I'm a forgetful person, I don't remember sad things for long, and when I don't have to enter the group to immerse myself in the role, I'm in a pretty good mood." In the middle of the interview, Chen Jin will also laugh if she speaks, has a strong emotional appeal, and puts herself into the performance with such an active and surging enthusiasm, and the performance is naturally full of the actor's personal characteristics and charm. Chen Jinru remembers that when she was in college, she and her classmates prepared to perform homework, and would go outside to experience life, observe characters, and simulate many different social situations. The memories of that time were very happy, three or two friends, walking around the street, watching people coming and going, hungry to go to McDonald's to eat something, and then observe. Then go back to school to rehearse, everyone gives each other a play, cooperates with each other, although immature, but it is also a touch of the profession that they really love - acting. That's the best place to start. There is a difference between the weight and the weight of the play, and the sincerity of the acting, regardless of the high or low. Chen Jinru has a simple reverence for performance, "This is my profession, I have to do it well when I play." Treating the current situation of the show business circle, she also has a sober cognition, "the popularity of the thing, I have not thought too much, I want the recognition of others, first of all, there must be works, actors have works to have confidence, I also hope that through their own efforts, really have such a bottom."
