Although it is often heard that the interviewees say that they are "grounded", Wang Zitong, who played the role of Miss Qianjin Zhan Ning'er in "Night Heavenly Son", implemented these three words most thoroughly.
The meeting place is about the café in Sanlitun, a strappy pants, simple casual and fashionable Wang Zitong came alone, saw the reporter immediately greeted warmly, before ordering to seek the opinions of everyone present, arranged properly, and the gift was complete.
In the interview, Wang Zitong's sincere and cheerful personality was more fully revealed, and even in the face of slightly sharp questions, she insisted on "what to say", not because she did not understand the routine of "playing tai chi" in the circle, but in her opinion, there was nothing worth hiding or avoiding.
Her own advantages and disadvantages in performance or personality, she has insight into the heart, and has always had a clear plan for the future development direction, "Being an actor must not only give herself, but also give the audience a complete result and a good explanation." ”
Nine years after his debut, Wang Zitong has always adhered to the original intention of the profession of an actor, constantly polishing and improving his acting skills. Nowadays, Puyu is gradually shining, and the future is unlimited.
"There are some places where I am particularly compatible with Zhan Ning'er"
It is not an easy task to play the role of Zhan Ning'er. On the one hand, she is a Miss Qianjin who likes to fight and kill and is strong in martial arts, heroic and cheerful, and ruthless; on the other hand, she is also chivalrous and soft-hearted, and she is serious about righteousness, so that Ye Xiaotian and her good sister Xia Yingying can be happy, and she is willing to suppress her good feelings for Ye Xiaotian in her heart and take the initiative to quit the competition.
The multi-faceted nature of Zhan Ning'er is the most attractive place for Wang Zitong, which can be said to have aroused her desire to create in an instant, "I think I am particularly compatible with this character in some places, and the concept of personality and treatment of feelings is very similar."
Taking herself as a reference, she quickly grasped the character feeling that Zhan Ning'er "looks very powerful, but in fact there is a little girl living inside". In order to make the reactions in the performance more realistic and accurate, she also added some of her own emotional treatment.
For example, the scene where Zhan Ning'er was moved to tears by the story of the liar was a temporary change made by Wang Zitong after discussing with the director. Because her ears are softer in real life and it is easy to believe what others say, she can put herself in the shoes of Zhan Ning'er and understand the reason for Zhan Ning'er's tears. And this improvisational scene also portrays the simple and kind character under Zhan Ning'er's powerful appearance as particularly vivid and vivid.
In addition, Wang Zitong changed many of the more written lines in the script to the usual colloquial language, and some of her more funny and funny expressions in life were also restored to Zhan Ning'er.
This kind of interpretation makes zhan ning'er's image full of affinity, and the characters are lively and flexible, and more layered. The stark contrast in personality also laid the groundwork for Zhan Ning'er to fall in love with Ye Xiaotian's plot after coming out of the thunder god forbidden land.
"In the case of strong men and weak women, it is a treatment of my role that makes Zhan Ning'er's feelings for Ye Xiaotian change." Speaking of acting Wang Zitong is always full of self-confidence, analyzing the role of the head is Dao, "Although she is very powerful outside, but the thunder god she met this time is something she admires, and it is normal to be afraid." Ye Xiaotian protected her, and she always wanted to be protected in her heart, in fact, it was quite similar to me, and the performance process could be logical. ”
People who act seriously enough will always get rewarded, Wang Zitong's accurate grasp of the role and careful interpretation have been widely recognized by the audience, and behind the praise of "the little sister really brought Zhan Ning'er to life", it is more that she chooses between "taking" and "giving".
After all, integrating the characteristics of their own characters into the creative process are completely different from playing themselves, and actors need to carefully identify which parts fit the role and which parts need to be eliminated. Trying to get the balance between them requires a long period of experience accumulation and continuous training.
Wang Zitong, who plays Zhan Ning'er, does a good job of "being appropriate", and she has many similarities with the character, but the role is definitely not herself.
"Actor Wang Zitong, I like this title the most"
Choosing to be an actor is a small "rebellion" for Wang Zitong, who has been influenced by his family to learn to dance, sing and play the piano since childhood.
Because she fell in love with acting, she gave up the life path that her parents had planned for her to apply for the conservatory of music and become a piano or vocal teacher in the future, leaving her hometown and going to the Beijing Film Academy alone to study.
This is her long-awaited dream, so from the moment she stepped into the school gate, she exerted her passion for acting and the momentum of Hubei girls who did not accept defeat to the extreme: she has always been the first in the class in four professional courses of the sound platform line table; after 4:30, many people have gone to play, and she will continue to rehearse; in the midterm exam, everyone else is turning in an assignment, and she pays four at the same time.
Relying on this hard work, Wang Zitong has not only been unanimously recognized by the teachers, but also laid a solid foundation for his own performance. After officially entering the show business circle, she created a series of completely different characters such as the rebellious girl Gu Na in "The Past of Dali Family", the big grinning cloth bag in "The Burning Years of Youth", the simple and cute Song Huayang in "The Legend of Zhao Kuangyin of the Great Song", and the fateful BaiLu in "Killing the Eight Parties".
Although the background and personality characteristics of the characters are far apart, in wang Zitong's words, "They are all me." ”
"I'm a person with a lot of personalities, and after taking over the role, I will first find commonalities with myself from the characters, and then enlarge them." Wang Zitong waved his hand and put the accent on the two words "commonality", "Then I use my own ideas to combine some elements of the role and perform in the way that suits me best, only if you believe that the role is you, can you act well." ”
As for the different parts of the characters from themselves, Wang Zitong will use some emotions, such as the novels and movies she has seen, there are always people who are completely different from her experience or living environment, and constantly improve their performance material reserves through in-depth study of their personalities and lifestyles.
In order to make her understanding of the emotional changes at each stage clear and unambiguous when playing the role, her habit is to write a biography of the character after reading the script, especially when the role is not so heavy, in this way, step by step, the background, growth history and emotional experience of the characters are smoothed out, so that she can better devote herself to a variety of roles.
"Since I'm an actor, I have to create a role, and a really good actor can't play just one role, right?" Wang Zitong smiled and did not care about such a thing as "labeling", "I will not limit myself to a certain type, actors are just going to keep trying more roles so that they can be promoted." ”
At the same time, she will also seize the opportunity to humbly ask for advice from her predecessors in the show business circle. For example, when filming "Zhao Kuangyin of the Legend of the Great Song Dynasty" with teacher Chen Jianbin, when shooting close-ups, she will definitely go to the scene, "Even if I can't shoot, I have to kneel when I should kneel, which is a manifestation of respect for my predecessors, and it is also a respect for my own profession." Especially when shooting close-ups, the teacher's performance state must be the most accurate, and watching him shoot is a good learning. ”
For performance, Wang Zitong has always maintained a full enthusiasm, as long as she can act, even if the work arrangement is full, she will feel very full and happy. "Once my Sina Weibo certification was written as an 'artist', but then I changed it." She smiled and her eyes were very serious, "'Actor Wang Zitong', I like this title the most, for me acting is a lifelong career." ”
To be personal is to be "responsible" for oneself
In the eyes of many people, Wang Zitong is a serious person who is a little "more real", and she will actively participate in all aspects of her work.
For example, when she takes over the role, when she encounters a role she likes, she will take the initiative to "throw an olive branch" to the director, and talk deeply about how she will deal with the role if she has the opportunity to cooperate, and what preparations and homework she will do. If the role recommended by others is not a good fit, she must be honest.
For the idea of work, she will also keep in touch with the team at any time, discuss with the agent the criteria and requirements for selecting the role, including the wording of the promotional manuscript, to selecting pictures, retouching, she will provide her own opinions.
"I think this is responsible for yourself, if you don't care about yourself, why ask others to be careful about you, right?" Wang Zitong tilted his head and revealed a playful smile, "So I will think of various ideas with them, such as the way to send benefits to fans, and what kind of creativity to use in the next small video." ”
As for the requirements of the script and the team, Wang Zitong has a very clear idea in his heart, "I hope to cooperate with serious directors and actor teams, including producers." A good creative atmosphere is very important, and some directors may not have a high reputation, but he will talk to you about the script, talk about the role, and everyone will make progress together. ”
"The most important thing about the role is that I have the desire to create." Talking about her profession, Wang Zitong's tone became serious, "Even if it is a villain who is bad to the end, I hope to dig out her deep-seated motives and make this role vivid enough." ”
As an actor, Wang Zitong did not struggle with whether to play the so-called "good guy" or "bad guy", but focused on constant precipitation and continuous progress in practice, because she believes that with the increase of acting experience and experience, the roles performed in the performance will be richer in level.
As for long-term planning, her first choice is of course to shoot a good scene, if there is an opportunity, I also want to try to be a producer, "I am a very worried person, like the operation of various departments, budget supervision, communication between directors and actors, the control of the direction of the script, I think slowly learning should be able to do a good job." ”
Wang Zitong quietly revealed that if he really became a producer in the future, he did not want to give up the identity of an actor and would try to take care of both. After all, for her, acting is an eternal love, and she hopes that in the near future, Wang Zitong will be able to realize her ideals and dedicate more high-quality dramas and excellent roles to the audience.
