1. Trace the traces of time, and go straight to the grand occasion of "Agarwood Like Crumbs" in 2023
The years flow like a poem, and in the blink of an eye, we have entered 2024. However, let's focus on the past year for the time being, when the costume drama "Agarwood Like Crumbs" starring Yang Zi was sweeping the country and became a hot topic after dinner.
In 2023, this drama is like a frenzy, quickly sweeping major video websites and social media platforms. At that time, the 31-year-old powerful actress Yang Zi successfully portrayed the role of Yan Dan in the play, and her superb performance won warm praise from the audience.
Yan Dan, a woman who has gone through hardships, is so persistent in her love for her sweetheart Ying Yuan that the two of them fall into a situation of love and hatred and inextricable themselves. In order to get rid of this pain, Yan Dan resolutely chose to cross Lethe River, trying to erase all the memories related to Ying Yuan.
However, who would have expected that Yan Dan's deep affection for the abyss would be so deep, even after spending a long 800 years in the cold and lonely Lethe River, she still couldn't forget the face of the beloved in her heart.
The grief of the heartbreak seemed to emerge in front of her eyes: Yan Dan was alone, lonely and desolate walking on the long Huangquan Road, her eyes were empty, her face was expressionless, and even her jet-black hair was as white as frost due to years of torture.
The most tear-jerking thing is the scene in the play where Yan Dan is personally overrun by Ying Yuan in the desperate climax of Lethe. Ying Yuan couldn't bear to watch Yan Dan dissipate between heaven and earth like this, so with her blind eyes and silver hair, she walked through Lechuan step by step, and made her forget that unforgettable relationship with her own hands.
This touching scene is enough to make the audience completely desperate at that moment and sigh for Yan Dan's tragic fate. From beginning to end, Yang Zi's wonderful performance in "Agarwood is Like Crumbs" vividly shows Yan Dan's loneliness, confusion, sadness and despair.
Many viewers were overwhelmed by her superb acting skills, and left messages on social media saying that "Yang Zi's acting skills exploded", "I was in tears when I saw it", and "my heart was about to be torn to pieces by her".
Second, time passes, Zhao Lusi issued a murderous appearance in vain overnight, which attracts pity
However, time flies, so let's turn the timeline back to 2024 once again. This year, the Xianxia drama "Shen Yin" starring Zhao Lusi is being broadcast nationwide, attracting the attention of countless audiences.
In the play, the 25-year-old new-generation actress Zhao Lusi played the role of Ayin. Ayin is a lively and cute water condensation beast, and he has a soft spot for the male protagonist Kuching, and his infatuation with him can be called the extreme.
In the in-depth development of the plot, Ayin does not hesitate to consume her only 100 years of spiritual power in order to save her beloved Kuching.
What's even more shocking is that after Ayin's hair turned pale in an instant, her consciousness began to blur, her life breath was weak, and she almost fell into a near-death state. There is a heartbreaking scene in the series: Kuching hugs the silver-haired, dying Ayin tightly, Ayin's emaciated body curled up in a ball, snuggled up in Kuching's arms like a helpless kitten, his eyes full of helplessness and vulnerability.
This shocking shape undoubtedly brought a strong visual impact to the audience. As the lively and cute elf she used to be, Ayin suffered such a huge blow, and her weak appearance as if she would stop breathing at any time was really pitiful.
Zhao Lusi put great effort into interpreting this role. Not only did she try her best to show Ayin's fragility and helplessness, but she also hoped to convey the deep love of this poor little girl for Kuching through Ayin's thin figure and distressing expression.
Therefore, when Kuching is holding Ayin tightly in his arms, the picture is really heart-wrenching. The audience couldn't imagine that the once lively and cute elf would be reduced to this.
Ayin's plight struck a chord with the audience, who left messages on social media to express their sympathy, such as "It's so pitiful" and "I'm going to cry when I look at it".
3. The two actors in the lounge talked about the role of "white hair overnight".
Stepping away from the show's excitement, we're now on the set behind the scenes. Yang Zi and Zhao Lusi are sitting in a spacious and bright lounge, and the two have a cordial conversation, sharing their experiences in shaping the bizarre fate role of "white hair overnight" in the play.
Although the age difference between the two is six years, Yang Zi is 31 years old, and Zhao Lusi is only 25 years old, they are both highly recognized new generation of powerful actresses. When it comes to how to play these ill-fated characters, they also have their own unique understanding and perception.
"The role of Yan Dan was a huge challenge for me. Yang Zi opened her mouth first, and a serious look appeared between her eyebrows, "Because she is too persistent in her love for Ying Yuan, I must do my best to portray her deep affection for Ying Yuan, and the despair in her heart when she finally has to let go."
Yang Ziyan said that in the depths of her feelings, there were slight tears in her eyes, "Especially at the end of the film, the picture of my skin being pale as frost and my blind Yan Dan staggering forward in the fog is undoubtedly a very challenging test of my ability to accurately capture emotions."
Zhao Lusi, who was listening quietly on the side, saw this scene and couldn't help but gently take over the topic, "I really didn't expect that Sister Yang, you can reach such a deeply rooted realm in interpreting tragedy!
Fourth, Yang Zi strives to interpret persistent love and create a sad role
"The role of Yan Dan is indeed a huge challenge for me, because her love for Ying Yuan is too persistent. Yang Zi's face was solemn and she said slowly, "In the plot setting of the play, Yan Dan struggled in Lethe for 800 years, during which I had to do my best to portray her deep attachment to the abyss, and the despair in her heart when she finally had to let go.
Yang Zi talked about this, her voice was a little choked, "Especially the heartbreaking ending, Yan Dan lost her sight, her silver hair disappeared into the dust, which is undoubtedly a great challenge for my emotional grasp."
She took a deep breath and continued, "In order to truly integrate into the pain and confusion of being deprived of my beloved, I completely put myself in the situation of Yan Dan."
Her eyes gradually moistened, as if she was recalling the hardships of filming that scene back then, "Therefore, even now when I think about it, I can still deeply understand the sadness and despair of Yan Dan back then."
Her tone was full of emotion, "The feeling of despair of being abandoned by the world and being alone and helpless is undoubtedly the most difficult emotion to control."
Yang Zi said earnestly, "In order to perfectly interpret Yan Dan's unwavering love for Ying Yuan, and her endless helplessness after she was finally forced to let go, I put a lot of effort into it.
Her gaze was firm, "From Yan Dan's initial deep affection for Ying Yuan's obsession, to the gradual numbness and loss of reason in Lethe, I have tried my best to show this psychological change from fiery love to being forced to let go vividly."
"Undoubtedly, Yan Dan, who I have put all my heart into to create, is a shocking and tragic character!" Yang Zi said with a determined look in her eyes after a moment of contemplation, "I sincerely hope that by depicting her tortuous and bumpy life path and helpless fate, I will highlight that love is sometimes equally tragic and cruel." However, if I can impress the audience with a vivid and delicate performance, it is also a great achievement and honor for me. "
Fifth, Zhao Lusi affectionately interprets the little pitiful image of a graceful person
And Zhao Lusi, who was listening on the side, spoke slowly at this time, full of emotion: "I never thought that Sister Yang could interpret the tragedy so deeply into the bone marrow, and I was also deeply inspired by listening to your words."
Zhao Lusi's clear eyes flickered, and a shy smile appeared on her face, "The Ayin I play is a lively and cute little water condensation beast, who has always had a deep affection for Kuching, which can be described as a wholehearted and persistent pursuit.
"However, who could have predicted that Ah Yin would suffer such misfortune in the future?" Zhao Lusi looked worried, her voice slightly choked, "In order to save Kuching, Ah Yin did not hesitate to exhaust all her spiritual power, and finally fell into the predicament of dying and full of hair overnight, that miserable and helpless scene, even I couldn't help but feel heartache when I saw it.
"When filming the scene in Kuching where Ayin embraces the weakened Ayin, I immersed myself in the sincere and passionate world of Ayin and deeply experienced her deep dependence on Kuching.
She clenched her chest, her expression pained and sad. "Therefore, during the performance, I not only tried my best to show Ayin's fragility and helplessness, but also tried to convey this poor little pity's endless love for love through her petite and fragile body and distressing expression.
Zhao Lusi was emotional, tears welled up in her eyes, "She is so pitiful, even though she is just blindly obsessed with Kuching, she has encountered such a bad luck, I feel extremely heartbroken when I look at it." ”
She gently wiped tears from the corners of her eyes and sighed, "So, when Kuching hugged Ayin, who was dying, I was completely immersed in that life-and-death situation. ”
Ayin's weak and helpless figure curled up sadly, like a young cat longing for the care of its master, I was extremely worried, as if an invisible knife was cutting the softest corner of my heart.
Sixth, the two generations of the new generation of strength Xiaohua vividly portray the unique style of "white hair overnight".
It was very touching to watch two of the brightest young flowers of the new generation pour their hearts and souls into their respective roles. Although they are slightly different in age and temperament, they are all extremely good at interpreting the mysterious fate of "white hair overnight".
Thirty-one-year-old Yang Zi, she deeply excavated Yan Dan's deep attachment to love, her desperate affection in the play, and the despair in her heart when she was finally forced to let go, were perfectly presented by her.
From Yan Dan's initial correspondingly fiery and lingering expression, to the gradual numbness and loss of soul in Lethe River, Yang Zi interpreted this psychological change from obsession to confusion just right.
Especially in the last scene, Yan Dan's blindness, silver hair, and dying life made the audience's hearts ache. Yang Zi was completely immersed in the desperate situation of being ruthlessly deprived of her loved ones and despaired.
She went all out to create this tragic character who was destined to leave alone, which moved countless audiences.
In contrast, the twenty-five-year-old Zhao Lusi vividly interpreted Ayin's sincerity and pity. This originally lively and cute elf did not hesitate to give everything to save his sweetheart Kuching, and the desolate scene of gray hair and weak breath in the last night was distressing.
At the moment when Kuching hugged Ayin tightly, Zhao Lusi fully integrated into Ayin's emotional world and deeply experienced this poor little pity's firm belief in love. In Ayin's thin body and pitiful expression, she shows the other party's pure and persistent side of love.
When Kuching embraced the dying Ayin into her arms, Zhao Lusi seemed to be experiencing this dilemma on the verge of life and death, and her eyes were full of endless pain.
Yang Zi vividly interprets the bitterness and pain of love with her affectionate and firm acting skills, while Zhao Lusi profoundly reveals the steadfastness and compassion in love with her gentle and delicate acting skills.
This unique point of view brings these ill-fated characters to life, leaving the audience moved to tears during the viewing process. At the same time, it also makes people full of endless expectations and longing for their future acting careers.
