After a year, Ling Zi was 28 years old.
At this age, in the ordinary workplace, it is still a prosperous newcomer, there is a lot of time to be arbitrary, not afraid of trial and error; but in the entertainment industry, which likes the new and the old, age is a sharp blade, lawless, and the way is easily cut off by it. However, the blade has two sides, and the best used is a sharp weapon that cuts through thorns and thorns, and the more ancient it is, the more valuable it is.
"Diao Juhua" is the heaviest role that Ling Zi has received in the past 4 years since her debut, but it is also a tricky role that ordinary actors can't avoid. In the original novel of "Loading The Stage", Diao Juhua, the "second heroine", is vicious, greedy, selfish, and selfish, and was once called the darkest woman in modern Chinese literature after Cao Qiqiao. The actor's skills are not enough to show the complexity of Diao Chrysanthemum; the acting is too good, and it is easy to attract insults.
However, Ling Zi's extraneous performance and portrayal of the depth of the character make Diao Juhua the most brilliant female role in the TV series "Loading Stage", in addition to the heroine Cai Sufen played by Yan Ni. With the fire of "Loading The Stage", Ling Zi is also a household name.
As for the struggle behind choosing this role, Ling Zi told Cover News that this role is indeed a big challenge for her career, but "especially willing to challenge herself".
Dormant Cobain actor
Born in Shaanxi, Ling Zi grew up in Chengdu and was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy in 2012 as a bachelor's degree in acting. Her appearance does not belong to the rich beauty of the big opening and closing, but a beautiful woman with clear eyebrows, and her temperament is very similar to that of The new generation of Taiwanese actor Gui Lunmeng, so she was once called "salt girl" by netizens, and the drama she received was also based on modernity.
Although it has been more than 4 years since graduation, Ling Zi has played some small roles, and Ling Zi, who was born in the class, has a late debut and lacks popularity compared with the idol stars who have been in the show business circle in their teens.
Since her debut, Ling Zi has participated in nearly 10 dramas, including "We All Have to Be Good", "My Wife is Post-80s", "The First Half of My Life" and so on. In 2019, Ling Zi participated in "Young Pi" as a female high school student, and it is not contrary to Standing with Zhao Jinmai.
"Evil Girl" Diao Chrysanthemum
Diao Chrysanthemum was a sharp sword handed to Ling Zi, and Ling Zi became famous in the world when used well, and he was not good at cutting himself all over his body.
"When I first received this role, my friends and team around me would be worried, they would consider that this role might make everyone very disgusted, and it would rise to the point that I was scolded," Ling Zi said, "After I received the script, I (also) felt that such a difficult role was a great challenge to my career." ”
Ling Zi described the mood of taking over the role to the cover news, using the word "resolute".
"Loading the Stage" is a rare realist theme of the boutique drama in recent years. The original characters are plump and detailed, full of regional characteristics of northern Shaanxi. "Diao Juhua" is the daughter of the hero, born in a low class, abandoned by her mother at an early age, and her father has no time to take care of her, resulting in her extreme personality and selfishness. Compared with the depiction in the novel, the ending of the TV drama version of "Diao Chrysanthemum" is much luckier, although the family is unfortunate, but finally harvested love, so that the temperament also changed. But "Sister Ju" is still the main force stirring up various contradictions in the play.
Ling Zi said that although she is from Shaanxi, she grew up in Chengdu and really understood the experience of the characters in the novel, or when she went to the urban village in northern Shaanxi to experience life, she realized it. Ling Zi is very meticulous, in addition to observing the living conditions of the locals and learning "Shaanpu", she also deliberately imitated "the way they walk", and even designed some habitual movements that matched her personality for "Diao Juhua".
The best script was matched with the performances of Zhang Jiayi, Yan Ni and other actors, so that the drama was hung up to the Douban high score block immediately after broadcasting. Among the young generation of actors, Ling Zi is the most stunning, powerful aura, without dragging the hind legs of the old drama bones, and playing the most extreme role of the play, "Ju Jie".
Although some of the original party were not satisfied with Diao Juhua's adaptation, Ling Zi, as an actor, was loyal to the script and fulfilled the actor's duty, and still won a lot of praise. As capital continues to be active in the TV drama market, the audience's call for acting skills is also getting higher and higher. For Ling Zi, who "especially likes to challenge himself", it is just right now, not green and there is no stereotype, and the drama road he has opened up will only become wider and wider.
Dialogue Lingzi
Cover news: After the end of the whole drama of "Loading Stage", everyone talked about it the most in addition to the male and female protagonists, that is, the role of "Ju" played by you, what do you think of Ju this person? What do you think is the hardest place to interpret?
Ling Zi: First of all, thank you for the attention of Diao Chrysanthemum, The nature of Diao Chrysanthemum is not bad, because she lacks love and attention since she was a child, she has always been full of vigilance about the things around her, in the early stage, she is sensitive and irritable, aggressive, but when she meets the second generation and is pregnant, her personality has changed, becoming more gentle and sensible, and she is growing up in the role of Diao Chrysanthemum. Although Ju's character in the play is not pleasing, she plays a pivotal role in the promotion of the plot, because the appearance of Ju makes the plot ups and downs again. Although I am from Shaanxi, I moved to Chengdu with my parents since I was a child, and I am not so familiar with Shaanxi dialect, in order to shape the Diao chrysanthemums in the villages in the city, I learned Shaanxi dialect with my parents and friends in Shaanxi in advance, and also went to the urban villages in advance to experience life.
Cover News: Ju is very different from the white-collar women or school girls you have played in the past, have you ever struggled with this role? In the original book, Kiku is a woman with a terrible appearance, in order to get close to the character, would you mind sacrificing yourself to be ugly in order to get close to the character?
Ling Zi: When I first received this role, my friends and team around me would be worried, and they would consider that this role might make everyone very disgusted, and it would rise to my own scolding. But at that time, after reading the original work and the script, on the surface, the character of Diao Juhua was indeed a bit unpleasant, and the words of relatives and friends around her were relatively unfriendly, but when you really understood Diao Juhua, in fact, she was affected by the original family environment and was a more pathetic character. After I received the script and read it, I felt that such a difficult role was a great challenge to my career, and I was especially willing to challenge myself, so I resolutely took this role. In "Loading Stage", it is not deliberately ugly, and the shaping of the character image in the play is to get close to the role itself, so that the audience has a more sense of substitution for the role, and there is no sacrifice.
Cover News: How do you view the emotional line between Chrysanthemum and the second generation in the play?
Ling Zi: The role of the second generation is not in the original novel, and the increase in the role of "second generation" makes the "Diao Chrysanthemum" character more three-dimensional. In the play, the second generation is really good to Ju, even if Ju has a hot personality and loves to lose her temper, but the second generation has always tolerated her, and even obeys Ju's orders, which shows that the second generation is affectionate and sincere to Ju. The second generation has impressed Diao Chrysanthemum with his own sincerity, and Diao Chrysanthemum has always encouraged the second generation to insist on his Qin dream.
Cover News: It is understood that when you were figuring out the role, you went to experience the life of the urban village and also learned About Shaanpu. As a Chengdu girl, what do you think is the most impressive thing in the culture of northern Shaanxi? What does this inspire you to figure out the characters?
Ling Zi: In the past few months of shooting in Xi'an, what impressed me the most was Shaanxi cuisine, all kinds of noodles, very delicious. In order to get close to the characters, go to the urban village in advance to experience life, experience life is to let us better understand the environment and living conditions of the characters, reflect how they will deal with things when they encounter them, make the characters more real and vivid, and also observe their walking, talking, and their living habits in the village, combined with the character of Diao Chrysanthemum in the script, it presents the Diao Chrysanthemum you see in the episode.
Cover News: This is the second time you have cooperated with Yan Ni and Teacher Zhang Jiayi, what do you think is different from "Young Pi" this time? What impressed you the most about the two teachers?
Ling Zi: In "Young Pi", there were not many rival scenes with the two teachers, this time in "Loading the Stage", I learned a lot with the two teachers, Diao Juhua's personality is brutal and willful, sometimes it is difficult to grasp, and the director and teachers also taught me a lot of experience in interpretation. Sister Ju has a lot of quarrelsome drama and yelling scenes, and it is also more physically demanding, and the teachers also prepared throat candy for me. On the set, the teachers were very friendly, and as a newcomer, it would be stressful to be able to play the role of the teachers, but their encouragement also became my motivation.
Cover News: There are comments praising your success in portraying Ju's character, will you worry that such a character with a very strong personality will limit your play path?
Ling Zi: It is a great honor to be able to play a role with a distinct personality and let everyone go deep into the hearts of the people, and I am very grateful for everyone's recognition of me, as a newcomer actor, I am more willing to try more types of roles, try more possibilities, and hope that there are more opportunities for me to try, I hope that everyone can pay more attention to me.
Cover News: What do you think is the biggest takeaway from the play "Loading stage"?
Ling Zi: The shooting cycle of "Loading the Stage" is very long, and the biggest gain should be that there are many opportunities to learn with the teachers, who have taught me a lot of acting experience.
Cover News: Can you reveal your plans for next year? What are you looking forward to for your next work?
Ling Zi: In 2021, I hope that more people can pay attention to me, although I am still a newcomer, I also hope to try more possibilities, bring more and better roles to everyone, and hope that there are more opportunities for me to try.
