In the ten years since her debut, Wu Qian has always been a popular actress on the screen. Recently, she was interviewed by Nanzhou Entertainment with her new film "The Determination to Runaway", in this live-action adaptation of a film about women breaking free from shackles and bravely chasing themselves, Wu Qian plays the role of the daughter of the protagonist of the story, Li Hong.
Talking about her daughter Sun Xiaoxue, Wu Qian said: "She is a typical Chinese-style daughter, who has an inertia to her parents. In the film, Sun Xiaoxue faced her mother Li Hong's suppressed situation at home, and at first she was supportive, and after finding a job, she asked her mother to stay and help her share family responsibilities. This is a habitual thinking of Chinese children, and when you need help, it is your parents who can reach out unconditionally. Wu Qian said frankly.
In life, Wu Qian also faces a female dilemma similar to her role. When asked about her relationship with her mother, Wu Qian replied: "Actually, it's quite similar, my mother also gave birth to me, and her world is basically centered on me." It's just that compared with the unconditional stretching out of her daughter in the film, Wu Qian can better understand the difficulty of her mother's pay, and she encourages her mother to do something of her own, wear beautiful clothes, do nails, and enjoy the little beauty in life.
Since her debut, Wu Qian has been honing and improving on the road of being an actor, and when she participated in "Sister Lang", she also wanted to tell herself that I could from the level of singing and dancing. But talking about the countless labels she has been labeled over the years, she replied lightly: "If you want to tear it up, let them go." ”
Over the years, as she has grown, Wu Qian has become more and more able to control different types of roles more calmly. "Every age has a unique temperament and experience for each age," she said, "and I can now play roles that I couldn't play back then." ”
01
Unconditional demand from parents is a habitual thinking of Chinese children
Nanzhou Entertainment: What kind of opportunity did you receive the invitation for this script?
Wu Qian: Actually, my agent first told me. He said that the company had a movie, and asked me if I wanted to talk to the director, he read the introduction of the text, and thought it was particularly suitable for me, I said okay, and simply made a video with the director, and then the director felt that it might be more suitable!
Nanzhou Entertainment: How do you understand the role of Sun Xiaoxue?
Wu Qian: She is a typical Chinese-style daughter, who has an inertia with her parents. At first, she will say Mom, I support you, but when she needs help, she will say, Mom, you can stay. Asking for from parents is a habitual thinking of many children, and when you need it, and you don't know who to go to, it is the parents who can reach out unconditionally.
Nanzhou Entertainment: In the early stage of the movie, Xiaoxue was actually against what her father did, but after finding a job, she still hoped that her mother could make a little sacrifice for herself, and she might even think that this was what her mother should do, do you think this is how it should be?
Wu Qian: For Xiaoxue, because she herself is a woman, her mother may have paid more for her since she was a child, and her emotional bond with her mother is deeper than that of her father, which is a common phenomenon in families, and children will have a relatively better relationship with their mother; At the same time, she also thinks that I am a woman in the new era, I have received higher education, and we should respect the equality of men and women, etc., so for this kind of emotional relationship between parents, we call standing in line, she stands with the mother, this is a very natural choice. But she also has a natural attribute - a daughter. The daughter will have an unconditional request for her parents, she naturally thinks that her parents are unconditionally paying for me, and the parents' contribution is not rewarded, no cost, as long as I open my mouth, it is a very inertial thinking, so I think this is a manifestation of a more Chinese-style family relationship.
Nanzhou Entertainment: As a witness to the marriage of your parents, when do you think Xiaoxue began to understand Li Hong?
Wu Qian: I think it may be that after Li Hong really ran away, Xiaoxue changed from the identity of a daughter in this family to a woman, when she needed to support the whole family. After Li Hong left, she was the only woman in the family. Because as the old saying goes, "Where is the mother, where is the home" and "In a house, only one woman stands up to the home, and the home is like a home." In fact, after Li Hong left, Xiaoxue took this place, and she may have slowly understood and empathized with it at that time.
Nanzhou Entertainment: Is there any intersection between the mother-daughter relationship between Sun Xiaoxue and Li Hong and the relationship between you and your mother in reality?
Wu Qian: Actually, it's quite similar, my mother also gave birth to me, and her world is basically centered on me. And then I would often tell her: you go and do a little bit of your own thing. I think she's like most mothers, she wears clothes as easily as she wants. She would say, who am I wearing such beautiful clothes to? Why am I wearing this? It's inconvenient for me to do my nails, how can anyone do things every day to do nails? My mom said that every day, she was actually a very Chinese woman.
Nanzhou Entertainment: At the end of the movie, Xiaoxue called her mother and said, "Mom, I'm sorry I delayed you." "Do you think Xiaoxue finally reconciled with her mother and herself? Or will she be like her mother?
Wu Qian: Actually, the last phone call was made in the kitchen, because the previous paragraph was deleted, Xiaoxue was killing fish in the kitchen at the time, holding the rolling pin back then, and in the end she didn't kill it, she was doing the same death cycle as Li Hong, but she couldn't do that hand, so the phone call she made to Li Hong was actually to escape the reality that she was now her hostess - I have to shoulder all the responsibilities. She is only a daughter when she calls her mother, an identity that can be claimed, so that phone call has evasion, help, and the last bit of hope. My mother was far away, and I felt that it was a hope that she saw as a woman, and that one day I could too.

Mom is great, is a phrase for moral kidnapping of women
Nanzhou Entertainment: There are two male characters in the film: one is the role of Jiang Wu's father; There is also the role of your husband played by Mr. Zhang Benyu, what do you think are the similarities or differences between these two men?
Wu Qian: That day Xiaoxue's husband said that his mother was great, but in Xiaoxue's words, it was a sentence that a man was morally kidnapping women. Because you are a mother, you must be great, you must pay more for this family than we men, just like that Sun Dayong said - which old lady does not do these jobs at home, which point do you do more than others? As I understand it, these two sentences are essentially the same, meaning that in their stereotype, women have to do it. It's just that their expressions are different, one is more straightforward, and the other is a more acceptable expression after higher education.
Nanzhou Entertainment: Do you think Sun Xiaoxue agreed with his father's certain approach and idea at a certain moment?
Wu Qian: I don't think there has been, so she found a man who was different from her father in terms of expression. In fact, Xu Xiaoyang and Sun Dayong are definitely different in many cases, Xu Xiaoyang at least he still consciously wants to love his wife, and consciously says that his wife is hard, and I want to express some love; Sun Dayong didn't even have the time to release a little love, he would feel that he didn't need to say that he didn't need it, as long as you loved me.
Nanzhou Entertainment: At the end of the film, Sun Dayong also made a phone call to Li Hong, saying that you just used my ETC to swipe 81 yuan, do you think this is actually a kind of expression that he cares, but this relationship has been like this all his life, so he won't open his mouth to say that concern.
Wu Qian: I think it's like the machismo of traditional men like Sun Dayong, who don't allow them to bow down to women, so they can only express one of their emotions in such a clumsy and inferior way.
Nanzhou Entertainment: Although there is not much description in the film, Sun Xiaoxue and her husband still have some contradictions and conflicts, what do you think is the core of this conflict?
Wu Qian: I think the underlying thinking logic of men and women is different, so why did I just say that when parents have conflicts, children must stand in line, this is for sure. It's not that you completely stand in line to resist the other party, but you will stand in line to the side that is more inclined to be the weak in your heart, because in this relationship, Li Hong's disadvantage and her position as the weak are too obvious, plus as we just said, the affection between mother and daughter is deeper than that of father and daughter since childhood.
03
I'm one of those stupid birds who fly first
Nanzhou Entertainment: I saw you go to "Sister Lang" before, so what made you make this decision?
Wu Qian: The purpose of my visit is very simple, that is, maybe I wanted to try to see if I had the ability to sing and dance during that time, so after a period of training, it was proved that I was capable, and I could actually do it.
Nanzhou Entertainment: I watched "Stewed Pears with Rock Sugar" before, in order to play the role in it, you must have done that skating practice repeatedly, so are you a very hard person in life?
Wu Qian: No, I define myself as the kind of person who belongs to the stupid bird that flies first, that is, if you don't do as well as a professional, you can practice. But the premise of the stupid bird flying first is that you have to be a stupid bird, so it can only be said that you are inferior to others and have not done enough, and you can't let go of your self-esteem and competitiveness, so you can only practice first.
Nanzhou Entertainment: Do you have a label in particular that you want to tear off?
Wu Qian: In a blink of an eye, I may have been working for more than ten years, and I will feel as if I have been labeled with a lot of labels.
Nanzhou Entertainment: Has there been any change between the 20-year-old self and the 30-year-old self now?
Wu Qian: Yes, how could I be so high-spirited at that time! However, I can play the roles that I couldn't play back then, and I can play the roles that I can't play now, this is the same, each age has its own temperament, experience, and experience. You asked me to play a college student now, and I definitely didn't act as well as I did then, it's all the same truth, why bother to compare?
Nanzhou Entertainment: Are there any special roles you want to challenge next?
Wu Qian: I can actually do anything, but everyone's understanding of me may be relatively limited, so everyone is willing to give me scripts, and the types are relatively fixed, but in fact, I can act and try anything.
