Chinanews.com, Beijing, December 16 (Reporter Ren Siyu) Yin Zheng is about to celebrate his 37th birthday, and his career as an actor has just reached the tenth year.
Looking back at his character and his style, it is difficult to describe it accurately with a single label.
He can be a comedian, but it's scary to play a villain, he can be an elegant gentleman, but he is also very good at playing a rough guy......
In the past ten years, he has performed characters with different edges, constantly looking for common points with characters from himself, and has also completed resonance moments with the audience in front of the screen.

resonance
is different from the usual sunny and cheerful big boys, as soon as "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea" opens, the audience's first impression of Yin Zheng is "crazy". He plays the role of Ming Hao, the "adopted son of a parliamentarian" from an orphanage, who is emotionally flammable and explosive, and Wen Na, who is a childhood sweetheart, wants to marry a wealthy businessman, he can't accept it, and even wants to destroy everything.
In this new film with constant reversals, Yin Zheng performed two completely different personality states, the first half was angry and manic, and the second half was melancholy and cowardly, in his eyes, the lack of the original family led to Ming Hao's personality is not sound, he is extremely inferior and has no responsibility, but he is unwilling to admit that two people who can't get light and heat in their growth drag each other into the abyss.

"Minghao is a direction I would never want to live. Yin Zheng has a resolute attitude, but to challenge to play a person he doesn't like, this is the fun side of being an actor, to play a role well, you must first fall in love with the role, become him, and then consider other emotional issues.
Everyone has multiple selves living in their hearts, and they must be able to find a little bit of personality with the character, this is Yin Zheng's performance method, just like the reflection underwater, no matter what kind of ripples there are, there will always be a moment when the virtual and the real overlap.
"I believe that when the actor and the character coincide, it is when he is the most three-dimensional. ”
For example, when filming those scenes that fall into severe depression, he will enter a state of weakness in advance, "Slow down your breathing, don't talk to anyone, you feel like you're going to choke at any time, and if you don't think about it, your air pressure will explode when you get there." ”
In the eyes of director Chen Zhuo, Yin Zheng is definitely a "drama idiot". In a scene where he confronted Zhang Junning, the camera couldn't capture his face, but Chen Zhuo inadvertently found that Yin Zheng's face was full of tears, "That shot moved me, and this is also his surprise to me." ”

There is a scene in the film where Ming Hao was suddenly assassinated, he covered his neck with both hands, and fell backwards with a trembling look of surprise. That scene was filmed dozens of times, and Yin Zheng fell to the ground again and again in a high-temperature studio of more than 40 degrees, scrubbing the paint on his neck and arms over and over again, and took the initiative to tell the director, "If you still shoot, I'll wash it again."
But recalling this scene again, he didn't talk about himself, all he talked about was his admiration for the old drama bone Hui Yinghong, "Every knife of hers will happen to cut through the neck, just touching but it won't scratch, and the speed is fast enough, every time I feel that my neck is cold, every time it's so accurate, I will feel really powerful." ”
The first tone is made
Every time he starts a new play, he can cooperate with the long-awaited professional actors, and Yin Zheng feels "happy". And the years he has been in the entertainment industry have also been a journey for him to realize his dreams.
Wanting to become an actor is Yin Zheng's wish since he was a child, but he didn't have much opportunity to come into contact with acting at that time, because he liked singing very much, he applied for the popular music department of Xinghai Conservatory of Music instead, and he felt very happy to study music, at least there was an audience, and he could perform for everyone.

He also began his acting career in the school drama club and musicals. After graduation, he participated in the Chinese version of the musical "Mamma Mia", Yin Zheng toured the country with the troupe, although it was a trick, but he liked to ponder his lines and ask for acting skills when he was fine. Until one day, the senior who played the protagonist in the play asked him if he wanted to come over for the test if he wanted to come and take the test at the Shanghai Dramatic Art Center.
After that, Yin starred in the drama "Kangxi" in the drama "The Legend of Deer and Ding" as he wished, and the silently accumulated performance energy began to be released on a larger stage, and the olive branch of fate was thrown to him again.
From practicing singing hard to learning acting, Yin Zheng has experienced a process from "cowardice" to "non-cowardice", he once said that if he learns to sing and does not practice well, he will be cowardly, and if he has not learned acting, he will be cowardly. Only by constantly pondering and practicing Xi can you let go of your burden before the real start of filming.
"One day I suddenly realized that I could say the lines instead of reciting them. Because I found out that I was acting as a person, not as a character. ”
The good student Yuan Hua in "Charlotte's Troubles", the ruthless Su Sanxing in "Sparrow", the hot-blooded and stubborn Sun Yuqiang in "Flying Life", Shang Xirui who loves drama in "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red", and Li Jiahui who is unwilling in "Fame...... From musicals to dramas and then to film and television dramas, he is not in a hurry on the road of acting, and constantly broadens the boundaries of his roles.

Gramophone
Over the years since he became an actor, Yin Zheng feels very happy, "Every day seems to be earned." ”
The source of happiness comes not only from performance, but also from those happy moments of star chasing. For example, he became an iron buddy with his predecessor Huang Xiaoming, shared the stage with Yan Chengxu, the star of the idol drama "Meteor Garden" that he had chased, and also received gifts from his favorite painters......
He never hides his star-chasing plots, "Some people used to say that they were closer to the stage of idols and farther away from the lives of idols, and I said that I was already very close to his stage because I was also on the stage." ”
Because of a recent friend accident, he feels that this expression is more and more important, "Don't be stingy with any expression of love for the person who loves you, the person you love, if you think he is good, you say it out loud, if the person in front of you is beautiful, you really have to say that today is beautiful." ”
In life, Yin is a standard "otaku", and he is also an out-and-out old two-dimensional, and his two major hobbies, Gundam and cars, are all because of anime.
He is a very nostalgic person, and his family's collection of game consoles and toys that he used to desire but can't afford to buy, and even the transportation used for commuting are all old cars that he saw and liked very much when he was a child. "I bought it back and refurbished it, I think I can get old, but the car can still be very young, and sitting in the car is like riding in a time shuttle and listening to the tapes go back to my childhood. ”

The tapes contain fond childhood memories, and he cherishes these childhood wishes, and the characters who have been played on the big screen and small screens are also voiced in the hearts of the audience.
Among the large and small roles he has played, Yin Zheng's favorite is Shang Xirui in "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red".
"His life is really full of ups and downs, and I can't find any other character who is as full as him. During the 158 days of filming, he lived in Shang Xirui's lively life, and this role that dared to love and hate also brought him a lot of "energetic" things.
Sometimes walking on the street, an audience member will tell him that the child is learning drama because he watched this drama, and when he talks about this, Yin Zheng's face is happy and proud.
Like the undefined wind, he can freely shuttle between characters of different times and different personalities, accumulating many novel life experiences, which is the happiness of an actor as he understands it.
Now when it comes to new dramas, Yin Zheng has a different idea from before: he doesn't look at his own role, just look at the whole story, whether the whole story is logical and smooth, whether it is good-looking, is the most important.
But what hasn't changed is that he has always been fascinated by this freshness and excitement, again and again.
