Wu Jingjing, chief reporter of Mammoth News Oriental Today
"Ideal City", which was called the best industry drama of the year by netizens, ushered in the grand finale. After this workplace drama starring Sun Li and Zhao Youting was broadcast on Oriental Satellite TV, from performance to plot, almost every episode had a "point" that poked at the workplace people - finally, the tangled and "realistic" Xia Ming and Su Xiao's "ideal" finally found a balance after continuous games and trade-offs, and Zhao Youting, who played Xia Ming, had a feeling: "That Xia Ming, who hopes that the moon and sixpence have both, and who is good at weighing the pros and cons to weigh right and wrong, has finally approached his 'ideal city'..." And at the end of the show, mammoth news reporter interviewed Zhao Youting. He also talked about xia ming in his heart, and also responded to many famous scenes in the play, of course, the first time he cooperated with Sun Li, there were also many interesting things happening.
PlayIng Xia Ming with entanglement:
Want to tell him to think things don't get that complicated
"Ideal City" tells the story of the cost engineer Su Xiao (played by Sun Li) full of blood in the workplace advancement, but as the male protagonist of the play, Xia Ming, the chief economist played by Zhao Youting, also presented a wonderful performance, and the strength to interpret the workplace survival rules of "relying on ability". In the play, he is not only Su Xiao's "Bole", but also her "Ruyi Langjun", the two influence each other, and will eventually work together to build an "ideal city". Su Xiao adheres to the professional belief that "the cleanliness of the cost table is the cleanliness of the project", and leads the company to get rid of the business difficulties and revitalize itself. Xia Ming's workplace concept is slightly different from Su Xiao's, he believes that "the cost table is a relationship table", rather than trying to innovate the complex "rules of the game" in the workplace, it is better to use the rules to quickly achieve the goal.
The "ideal" Su Xiao and the "realistic" Xia Ming have rubbed out many sparks, among which the biggest spark is the fire of love. Compared with the one-shot confrontation in the workplace, the emotional confrontation between Su Xiao and Xia Ming is not smooth, and it is always because the timing is not right, and they are in an embarrassing situation where they cannot love. Speaking of this, he was eager to send a message to Xia Ming: "You idiot! He hoped that Xia Ming would not think too complicated, "be decisive, don't be too entangled, be simple." When you meet a good girl, you must cherish it. ”
Some netizens said that "Ideal City" is "full of evil people", but in Zhao Youting's view, this is also one of the reasons why the play is good, "Everyone is a very realistic person, there is no way to define it with good or bad, we all have our hesitation, entanglement, wavering, there are also our pursuits, it seems that there is always a feeling of slow beat, how to plan can not catch up with the changes in life." And when he first saw the script, he also encountered a problem, because he understood Xia Ming very well, but he could not agree with the values of the character, so it was difficult to enter the role when reading the script: "I was a little entangled at the time, thinking that if I didn't act well, wouldn't it be dragging everyone behind?" "So, even if it's a particularly good script, with a particularly good director, a particularly good opponent actor, he hesitates for half a day." Until director Liu Jin said to him, "Your current entanglement is Xia Ming's entanglement, remember this feeling is right!" I suddenly opened the trick, and then I interpreted 'Xia Ming' with a sense of entanglement."
The confessional drama to Su Xiao was the most impressive:
Saw Sun Li's "Power of the Flood"
After the launch of "Ideal City", many viewers recognized as "famous scenes". For example, the clip of Sun Li, who was on the hot search shortly after the start of the broadcast, drunkenly hugged him and cried, when it was after the new employee training dinner, Su Xiao, who had lost love, lost his attitude after drinking and pounced on Xia Ming and cried. Zhao Youting recalled that the scene was very contagious, knowing that it was a scene in which Sun Li's emotions broke out, and it was cleared at that time, and the atmosphere was very serious, "I think that scene is quite touching, she jumped on me, began to cry in a state of collapse, and I was also taken in." He remembers that when he made the first one, he was moved to tears, the director said", "You must not", and then he reminded himself that "you can't be brought in like this". He also revealed that after the scene was filmed, Sun Li's eyes had cried until they were red and swollen, "She said that the director can still shoot like this?" The director said go home and rest, let's not shoot. ”
However, the play is touching, outside the play he also felt Sun Li's "power of the flood", "she does have a lot of strength, because she usually loves fitness, we have a lot of intimate scenes of flirting, the director does not want us to act too conventionally, we will ravage each other's faces, for example, I kiss her, she will push my face away or something, I have seen that Sun Li teacher fitness is very 'experienced'." ”
In addition to the emotional drama, there is also a famous scene that Xia Ming transforms into a "stepping machine". At that time, he and his uncle Huang Lilin went to a group meeting, and Xia Ming stomped on his feet in order to stop his uncle from talking indiscriminately. In this regard, Zhao Youting laughed and said: "Teacher Li Chuanyi is particularly professional, he said that you really give me a look, the harder you try, the better." So when you don't take close-ups, you can't see the situation, he asks me to really step on him, and the harder the better. It also made him very "distressed", because "after a meeting, more than a dozen feet can't run off." ”
Another impressive scene in the play is that Xia Ming returned home and played with the opponent of the intelligent AI. He asked the AI to turn on and off the lights and talk to it, "The difficult point of this scene is not to communicate with the AI, the difficult point is how to present his loneliness and loneliness in a seemingly joking, or happy and optimistic way in this process." "The scene of waking up the AI while dancing in the play is his improvisation, because no one understood Xia Ming at that time, and he could only communicate with the AI. In addition to the famous scene in the audience's mind, one scene that impressed Zhao Youting himself was Xia Ming's confession to Su Xiao at the annual meeting of the group, and he shook his uncle who was strongly opposed to his pursuit of Su Xiao to the car and said very firmly: "I just like Su Xiao!" Inside and outside the play, he felt very cool" That scene was very emotional, very full, very impactful, and the audience needed Xia Ming's true feelings."
Awkward but polite first meeting
Cooked up by "exchanging snacks"
I remember that when "Ideal City" was just broadcast, the film side put a small tidbit, which was a slightly restrained look of Zhao Youting and Sun Li's "first meeting", which also looked a little cute. This was the first time the two had worked together, and the first time they met was at a script reading session. "It's really a little embarrassing, the two of us are actually quite similar, we are both rational and slow people." However, seeing Sun Li's performance at the reading meeting also surprised Zhao Youting: "Sun Li has been eating from beginning to end, and she is very proud to nibble on a big apple, so I will sit next to her and watch her eat." She said 'Sorry to bother you?' I said, 'It's all right, you eat.'"
Then, Sun Li began to share snacks with him, he also took out a cookie to exchange with her, feeling as easy as going on an outing at school, so he slowly became familiar with it, and later, the shooting scene often "commercially blew each other" and sent each other "rainbow farts". Zhao Youting thought in his heart that Sun Li's performance style was very advanced: "There was a scene, in the dark moment of Su Xiao's life, she saw her father's letter, but did not cry. Because the character needs to transform grief into strength at this time, Sun Li's handling is very correct and advanced. When interviewing Sun Li before, she also praised Zhao Youting for being a gentleman. Zhao Youting explained that when filming intimate scenes, he would ask the other party's opinion, "I will ask her, is it okay to be close to her face?" Is it okay to hook up? She said very boldly, all OK, leave it to you! However, although there is no shortage of intimate scenes in the play, the two always seem to be incompatible, Zhao Youting laughed and said, "The director is very leather, he has a lot of ideas about these plays, romantic and naughty, he is very good at hanging the audience's appetite." ”
Of course, in addition to Sun Li, there are many old drama bones to join this play, and cooperating with them also gives Zhao Youting the opportunity to contact different performance methods. For example, when playing with Yu Hewei, the other party will hide a lot of information deeply and pass on some things without a trace, "You don't know when he will give you a look, you have to be on high alert at any time." In addition, Chen Minghao, who plays Wang Jiao in the play, is also a major highlight, for this predecessor in the drama industry, Zhao Youting also has to learn to run in, "He feels that it is play, there is nothing right or wrong, it is wrong, this thing is established as long as it exists anyway, so you have to follow him and follow his things." And Teacher Li Chuanyi is constantly exploring various possibilities, frantically adding lines and drama, and making this thing very lively and rich, so it is quite different. ”
The performance methods of "old drama bones" are different, and it is necessary to learn to pick up and recruit, and the fresh performance methods of new people must also be adapted to. Like Fu Seoul, who is full of witty words in "Strange Story", this time he played a financial big sister, but he did not win the hot search because of the quarrel in the play. Although there is no opponent scene with Zhao Youting, when he sees the finished film, he feels that the other party plays very well, "the director's selection is still quite discerning, that kind of powerful degree, very imposing look, and the interpretation is very good." And the most beautiful "front desk" is also fresh and flexible under the role of Yang Chaoyue, "I think Yang Chaoyue is the true color of the performance in it, which is particularly well done and has a lot of audience popularity." Her childish, green things are a plus for her, and I think they're particularly good."
Therefore, this shooting experience, let Zhao Youting have a feeling of being with a bunch of martial arts masters in the move, "everyone's sect is different, everyone's path is different, so he has been communicating with them, receiving moves, passing tricks, and surviving the addiction, he has to adjust himself", for him, it is also a rare learning process.
