Recently, the name "Wei Yanwan" has become a hot search topic, and this name originates from the costume drama "The Legend of Ruyi" broadcast in 2018
After 6 years, Wei Yanwan's name was turned out by everyone again, and it tends to become popular.
I don't know what to say for a while.
Li Chun played the role of "Wei Yinwan" in "The Legend of Ruyi", and checked Baidu Encyclopedia, Li Chun's version of Wei Yanwan is not even the female number three in this costume drama, and there are Zhang Junning, nursery rhymes, Dong Jie and Xin Zhilei in front of her, so she may be the female number six.
When "The Legend of Ruyi" was on the air, Wei Yanwan was the villain in the play, and she turned the tables all the way and hurt many people, until the finale, Wei Yanwan in the play was scolded by netizens thoroughly, and Li Chun outside the play did not get any benefits, and he also took the title of "villain".
As a result, it turned around six years later, and it is estimated that even Li Chun himself didn't expect it to become popular again?
One
On the other hand, Li Chun's reason for becoming popular again is also obvious
——Good acting skills and cool characters
Wu Junmei played the role of the Queen Mother Zhen Huan in "The Legend of Ruyi", but when she was finished, she was full of praise for Li Chun, and bluntly said that "Li Chun is a particularly cute little girl in real life"
There is a strong sense of contrast between inside and outside the play, the play is a blackened female villain, but outside the play is a warm-hearted girl
Before acting in "The Legend of Ruyi", Li Chun also played many villain roles, Ni Mantian in "Flower Thousand Bone", who was born well, beautiful but ruthless
Su Jin in "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" took Su Su's eyes and became a stumbling block to the love between the male and female protagonists
Until Wei Yanwan in "The Legend of Ruyi" in 2018, Li Chun had to play a villain role almost every year, so as soon as she appeared on the screen, the audience had to think about whether she would play a villain role again
It is enough to see that the villain played by Li Chun is successful and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that the audience will have a conditioned reflex
However, when playing Wei Yanwan, Li Chun also did a lot of psychological construction, everyone in the crew knew that she was a villain, and even she herself felt that she was a villain, but she had to act
When I was acting, I kept telling myself to accept this character
The filming process was also extremely difficult, Wei Yanwan stayed with Jin Yuyan for five years, and was bullied every day, and it was routine to hold a lampstand and serve a heater
Even Li Chun himself thought that he was "bullied" when he acted in these scenes, and he could almost empathize with Wei Yanwan herself
In the scene where the stove is served, in order to pursue realism, the director clearly saw that Li Chun couldn't stand it, but he still didn't shout to stop, and looked at Li Chun's trembling hands and crying face in the monitor with a satisfied smile
It's hardly acting, it's personal experience
There is a scene where Jin Yuyan lifts Wei Yanwan's chin with her feet, Li Chun's mother happened to come to visit the class during the filming of this scene, and saw that the other actors were happy, and Li Chun was either humiliated or beaten, and looked at her daughter's figure outside the camera and tears flowed uncontrollably
It's a pity that this scene was finally cut by the director and did not appear on the screen
But Li Chun did not complain, and honestly followed the director's rhythm to shoot
Because of the "torture" in the front, Wei Yanwan asked for help from her father-in-law, and then ascended to the sky step by step
A heavy rain scene became a turning point for Wei Yinwan, and since then she has embarked on a scene of constantly rising to the position and fighting monsters, which can be called the heroine of Shuangwen
At that time, Li Chun played Wei Yanwan alive and was abused by netizens, but there were also sober netizens who told the truth
This sentence is enough to prove the level of acting skills of the actors
Two
Supporting characters can also be popular
If it weren't for the several villain supporting roles played by Li Chun, he might still be not famous
is like Hao Lei said, "Whoever plays well is brilliant"
There is not much difference between the supporting role and the protagonist, as long as the performance is good, the audience has eyes
Several of Li Chun's supporting villains have been remembered by the audience to this day, which shows that the roles she plays are outstanding
There are not a few actors in the entertainment industry who rely on supporting roles to become popular, and the actor of "Hurricane" is Zhang Yi, but Zhang Songwen, who is a supporting actor, became popular because of his character and acting skills
Although Yang Yang is the male protagonist in "Fireworks in My World", the second male number Wei Daxun became popular by relying on the temperament and demeanor of the boss, and his voice was louder than that of the male protagonist when it was broadcast
Just like in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", although Sun Li is the protagonist, almost all the supporting roles are popular, from the concubine to the maid and eunuch, all of them are on fire
It is enough to show that the supporting roles can still be popular!
And Li Chun's role of Wei Yanwan in "The Legend of Ruyi" has become popular again, which also shows that the times have changed, and the characters that the public likes have also begun to change
Back then, the public liked the kind-hearted "Virgin" role, a harmless image of love between humans and animals, just like Liu Sanhao in "Palace Scheming", and now the public prefers Yao Jinling, who dares to love and hate.
Because her personality is vivid, close to real people, flesh and blood, love and hate, and she is not out of the crowd, so the villain's supporting role can also prove to be the result of the audience's choice.
The same is true of "The Biography of Ruyi", when everyone sighed at Ruyi's kindness and dedication to love, now everyone has changed their previous evaluations, thinking that she is too "love brain" and too naïve, and finally ended up with a good ending, and also realized the true meaning of "Lan Yin Fruit".
On the other hand, the villain supporting role Wei Yanwan has a life, which is simply a cool life. From being suppressed and bullied at the beginning to concentrating on the career and fighting for the future for himself, he is now a sober "career batch"
Compared with the two, Wei Yanwan is more in line with the current public's mentality
has nothing to do with the actor itself, but because Wei Yanwan's character design is more refreshing
But Li Chun was scolded by the audience back then, obviously because of her good acting skills in the play and good portrayal of the villain, but the audience turned to personal attacks on her
And now that the role of Wei Yanwan has been re-recognized by the public, is this comparison a little too absurd?
Three
But it is precisely because of Wei Yanwan's success that the public knows that actors need to be ready for every opportunity at all times
Looking at Li Chun's growth experience, Li Chun was born in Anhui Province in 1988, his parents are working families, but they have cultivated children's artistic cells since childhood.
At the age of 10, Li Chun was admitted to the Beijing Dance Academy to study ballet, a person far away from home to study and practice ballet for 7 years, after graduation as a ballet dancer for three years, at the age of 20 she didn't want to be a dancer, because she was worried that dancers might be unemployed when they were older after eating "youth rice", so she told her parents that she wanted to re-enter the university and learn acting.
Li Chun's parents were not angry with their daughter's choice, but comforted her and said, "Anyway, your cultural class is not very good, and it's okay if you can't pass the exam, when the time comes, you can go back to your hometown and open a dance class for you to teach children to dance."
Her parents thought about her future, which moved Li Chun.
At that time, she was also lively and straightforward, and she cried after hearing her parents' words, and kept saying that she was a "money-loser" who had not made any money outside for so many years and needed her parents' help
Later, Li Chun was admitted to the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, and was later selected by Zhang Yimou to play a faceless small role in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".
Just because of the movie "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", she also successfully signed an eight-year brokerage contract, but there was no filming in the first two years
At this time, she decided to terminate the contract, but she didn't dare to tell her parents, so she found a lawyer to deal with it, and finally her parents sold the house and paid back the default fee
The trough period of several years made Li Chun urgently need a performance opportunity
In 2015, a "Flower Thousand Bone" put her on the road of playing a villain supporting role, and it is gone
I remember that there is a scene in the play where Wei Weiwan dances on the boat on the West Lake, and all the movements are complete by herself, because she has a dance foundation in ballet, dancing is simply an easy task
There are many dance clips in costume dramas, but many of them are unsatisfactory, and there are very few who can grasp the beauty of ancient style
Wei Yanwan's dance scene can also be on the list in costume dance dramas
It also confirms the saying - opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared
Although it is a supporting role, as long as you are versatile and proficient, you will definitely be able to play it when you have the opportunity
Just like Xu Juncong's self-recommendation in "Wireless Transcendence Class", actors need to be prepared.
When Xu Juncong finished such a long sentence, Director Er Dongsheng applauded in public and praised his efforts and courage to prepare silently.
For directors and producers, actors who prefer this kind of momentary preparation for the role come in handy.
And the reason why Li Chun was able to regain popularity with "Wei Yanwan" six years later is that his personality, acting skills and hard work are all indispensable.
also believes in a sentence even more: supporting roles actually have a new world.
