After the young girl "Zhang Lijun" was killed, Wang Yueting ran to Guangzhou Thirteen Lines to sell clothes for several months. Thirteen lines is a clothing wholesale street, pedestrians come and go, the package is endless, it is difficult to make people relax, which is the norm of Wang Yueting.
Wang Yueting, who is still a newcomer actor, from 18 to 19 years, has been filmed for more than 20 days in pieces, in fact, from 17 years to the present, 4 years of full calculation, only enough for 4 months of drama, and all of them are dramas produced by their own agency. Interview opportunities are rare, and it is not impossible to run to sell clothes without filming in the future, which is the norm for newcomer actors.
Reality, dreams, entanglements, hopes. A few keywords are like an electrocardiogram, which runs through Wang Yueting's entire history of north drift, or a version with a rapid heartbeat. When the idea of "no courage to be an actor" appeared in Wang Yueting's mind again, she saw the recruitment of the movie "Sunshine Sister Tao".
"Zhang Lijun" fished her out.
A pair of "rabbit teeth"
"This little tooth of the girl is very interesting."
The young girl Zhang Lijun debuted, in front of the whole class to introduce herself, she looked down and cramped out a smile, revealing a pair of dimples, but the audience first remembered the pair of rabbit teeth, "very interesting", this is the audience's first impression of Wang Yueting.
The time and space of the movie "Sunshine Sister Tao" are staggered, the image of adults and young girls continues to shuttle, and then look down, the audience's attention point returns to the pair of dimples, "laughing and Yin Tao are really like, God casting", this is the audience's second impression of Wang Yueting.
A few years ago, there was a particularly popular word on the Internet, "colorful black". If you continue to watch the plot of the movie, you will find that Wang Yueting, who plays the young girl Zhang Lijun, is quite in line with this word, but it should be changed, called "colorful white".
At first, looking at the silly little girl, how can she be "forced to Liangshan", she rolled her eyes in a hurry, and jumped up in public to make the audience laugh and laugh. One second there was a shy and restrained face, the next second he suddenly let go of himself, this dance is like the director installed a monitor for "us after being sent home by the male god in those years"...
Zhang Lijun when she was a teenager, it is such a beach of white at a glance, what emotions can be seen from the face at a glance, pretending to be a ghost the second time can not frighten people, feel that friends do not like themselves on a brain to break into people's homes to talk, not so many twists and turns, but this seems simple and easy "white", Wang Yueting but performed a "colorful" dramatic effect, which has also become one of the highlights in the movie.
For example, one of the highlights of "Sunshine Sister Tao", the crying scene of young girls Zhang Lijun and Li Youran drinking and exchanging hearts. There is also a story behind this, Wang Yueting, who was already under great pressure, could not find the state when filming this scene, and was afraid of being replaced, simply hid in the small black room, and finally was pulled out by the director Bao Bellqiang to rehearse, "We decided that you are you, what are you worried about, you are Zhang Lijun." This sentence became an opportunity for Wang Yueting and Zhang Lijun to begin to "integrate".
This opportunity was later manifested in the movie, Zhang Lijun from sad grievances, to being numbed by alcohol, to sisters to heart, and finally holding a headache and crying, under the simple appearance, the emotional progression of the little girl is layered, the transition is natural, so that people do not feel the slightest trace of performance.
When the director shouted "No more Zhang Lijun, no more sunshine sisters", Wang Yueting cried and cried, as if feeling that Zhang Lijun in the depths of her soul had awakened and began to withdraw from her body and become a truly flesh-and-blood girl. When the actor's feelings and perceptions truly merge with the character, everything is in place.
So, when the movie ended, the ending song sounded, and the audience remembered the pair of rabbit teeth and remembered the young girl Zhang Lijun.
A bend in the "crescent moon"
Open Wang Yueting's Weibo, flip a few times to find that the highest repetition rate in her Weibo is her smile, a pair of dimples recessed, a pair of rabbit teeth exposed, the most likable, is the corner of her mouth, like a crescent moon, clean, look at it feel kind, no sense of distance.
Like the young girl Zhang Lijun, Wang Yueting gives people the feeling from the appearance, just like the female classmates who will appear around everyone, she may not be stunning, may not show her personality, but it really melts into your entire youth, every laugh, every warm memory, there is her.
Such a shape coupled with Wang Yueting's natural and smooth acting skills, from the third perspective of the audience, can be described in one word, comfort. This sense of comfort can help Wang Yueting to integrate with every character with a sense of youth and life, which is her advantage.
Counting Wang Yueting since signing a contract with Leading Media in 2017, from the first attempt at the idol drama "National Husband" in the female number three arrogant Miss Lin Qianqian, the network drama "The King of the Tomb King" in the female number one beautiful and agile Lin Shuiyao, or the female number one female fetus solo in "Little Brother Has Demon Qi" but longing for a beautiful love of Wang Yueting, it can be said that Wang Yueting performed a different sense of youth and girlishness in each role.
Especially in Tencent Video's "Little Brother Has a Demon Spirit", the explosive short drama that is exclusively customized by the media for Wang Yueting, the ordinary but with the dream of a girl in the play, Wang Yueting, who is ordinary and ordinary, narrows the distance between the audience and the role, the viewing is smooth, for young female audiences, they can even easily substitute for the role with the plot and do not feel abrupt and contradictory, which also stems from Wang Yueting's advantage.
But these four dramas did not become popular, and Wang Yueting, who was not seen by the audience, was still struggling in her dream as an actor. Later in the story, as said at the beginning, when Wang Yueting was considering whether it was time to give up, Bao Bell saw her, from the successive auditions of layers of selection, to hundreds of rehearsals in each scene, Wang Yueting attached importance to every opportunity for exercises, and like every newcomer actor, worried that after another failure, there was no courage to continue to come.
Fortunately, she seized this opportunity, whether it was the impact of external factors such as the epidemic during filming, or the accidental fall and fracture during filming, the persistence of her dream finally overcame the twists and turns in filming, and this experience also enriched Wang Yueting's own understanding of the profession of an actor and the acting itself. The final interpretation of a vivid girl Zhang Lijun.
Understanding the story behind this, when you look at Wang Yueting again, you will find that this little girl who always dedicates the cleanest and brightest smile to life is full of tenacity in her bones, and she can sit in a wheelchair to kill Qingqing, or she can go to thirteen lines after killing Qingqing and continue to face life.
Such a Wang Yueting, like her trademark smile, a crescent moon. Not amazing newborns, but insist on quietly glowing, waiting for the full moon.
An actor's dream
The main slogan of "Sunshine Sister Tao" is "getting together at the end of the time", which seems to be too much to put on Wang Yueting and the young girl Zhang Lijun.
But in the beginning, the two girls did not see each other and hate each other. In Wang Yueting's view, she only looks like Zhang Lijun, and as for the inside, Wang Yueting realizes that she is not an obedient neighborly girl. In life, she has been a maverick since she was a child, never taking the usual path. This all stems from her desire for a sense of existence, can not do the attention of the excellent student, simply do the most lively and cute child, another way to win everyone's like, for this, she practiced rolling eyelids, standing tongue, sucking nose, the more happy everyone is the happier she is, this is a kind of recognition, recognition is like.
Today, more than ten years later, the funny practice coincidentally made the "jumping god" jump to the lifelike girl Zhang Lijun in the movie. This "flattery" hidden in inertia also ends with the young girl Zhang Lijun. Therefore, when the agent told her, "There is no need to deliberately please anyone and be yourself", Wang Yueting, who has always been cute and likable, began to face herself seriously, to know Zhang Lijun again, and to know herself again.
She began to perceive the quiet side of her lively appearance, no longer to please anyone and talk strangely, really want to laugh when she laughed, she began to find that Zhang Lijun is like herself in the depths of her soul, in fact, from the bottom of her heart, she wants to be liked and recognized, but the way of choosing is different. She began to think that her original intention of choosing to be an actor may stem from this.
The encounter between the actor and the character is a kind of fate that can be encountered and unattainable, either achieving each other in the story or forging rebirth in the character. Wang Yueting is lucky, in the moment when she most wants to give up, the young girl Zhang Lijun fished out Wang Yueting's actor dream, and Wang Yueting found another self through Zhang Lijun.
But if you give Wang Yueting another chance to choose, she wants to be Lin Qing, this life only for herself, even if life is short, it will be vigorous. Now Wang Yueting can even confidently say, "Even if the actor has no money one day and can only eat instant noodles in the basement, I also like this ups and downs of life." Because I believe I will succeed. ”
Perhaps it is too much affection for this film that gave her a new starting point, Wang Yueting also wants to achieve Zhang Lijun, help her get more audience love, and also want to return the movie "Sunshine Sister Tao", after all, it gave her the courage to start again, as for the beacon ahead, Wang Yueting is working hard with the goal of "adult version of herself" and "becoming a good actor like Teacher Yin Tao".
