The web drama "My Babylonian Lover" is being broadcast, in the play, the heroine Chen Meiru, when she was 12 years old, made up a handsome and extraordinary half-blood prince who only loved herself in her diary, and also created a love enemy princess "Nine Heavenly Dragon Girl" (played by Xu Weining), and now these characters appear in her real life one by one. A few days ago, Xu Weining said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Beijing News that she has always wanted to try comedy, although the "Nine Heavenly Dragon Girl" setting in the play is more "middle two", but she can also be seen as an atypical innocent girl, "I myself have not played this kind of innocent girl with a slight middle two temperament, so it is a very different innovation for me." ”
Xu Weining tried to play an innocent girl with a slight secondary temperament for the first time.
In the play, Chen Meiru was only twelve years old when she created the prince and the Nine Heavenly Dragon Girls, so when these characters appeared in the time and space of Chen Meiru's life, in addition to the misplaced thinking brought about by the growth environment, their bodies were also imprinted with Chen Meiru's naïve, secondary two, and embarrassing innocent thoughts. The role of the Nine Heavenly Dragon Girl is a psychological reflection of Chen Meiru in her teenage years, she has created a beautiful and flawless love enemy, and her position in the prince's heart has always been above such a perfect person. In Xu Weining's view, the difficulty of interpreting the "Dragon Girl" is "quite high" for her own challenge, "This is a character created by a little girl at the age of 12, she is very innocent and romantic, not marginal, and the challenge is quite large. ”
——Dialogue——
Beijing News: "Dragon Girl" in the play is a fictional princess, in your opinion, where is the "foothold" of this character?
Xu Weining: I think that the character of the "Dragon Girl" in the first half should be more like Chen Meiru at some moments, because the Dragon Girl was created by Chen Meiru's imagination, so when I interpret the Dragon Girl in the first half, I will think more in the direction of Chen Meiru's state of mind. Dragon Girl is a flesh and blood person, you can feel her sincerity, she is easily moved, once moved, it is completely into her heart.
Beijing News: As a female audience, do you also think that this story is quite "girly"?
Xu Weining: As a female audience, what moved me about this story was Chen Meiru's bravery, after all, she wrote about her imaginary future life when she was 12 years old. No matter what she pursues, I think she has that direct and simple bravery, and she has no remorse. I don't think it's girlish or dreamy, because I think behind it is bravery.
Beijing News: Do you think there is any difference between love in the play and in reality?
Xu Weining: There are thousands of different kinds of love in the world, maybe you can project yourself in each different role, maybe some people are really the same as the love in the play, I think it still depends on everyone can find the connection with themselves from this role.
The "Dragon Girl" played by Xu Weining is a fictional princess in the play.
Beijing News: What is your own concept of love?
Xu Weining: Every period will have a different view of love, I think if you want to help the next definition of love concept, it may be too narrow, it must be accompanied by the growth and experience of every moment in life. Overall, I think that if I am happy now, it will be the best way to look at love.
Beijing News: From the earliest idol drama "Mischievous Kiss", to the recent more realistic love movie "When Men Are in Love", and to this more magical style of "My Babylonian Lover", interpreting different styles of love stories, for you, is there any different feeling?
Xu Weining: No matter which way each character interprets her, or shows a different style, it is better to say that in these roles, I see more breadth and depth of the love story. For me, [feeling] is more than just a love story, it should be like a journey after a journey, you follow me to see the scenery along the way.
Beijing News: What type of films do you usually like to watch?
Xu Weining: I like a wide range of films, some people recommend, no matter what type I like to watch. Whenever I have time, I'd like to go and chase all the episodes all at once in that week or that day.
Beijing News: At present, do you have any types of roles that you have always wanted to try but have not yet played?
Xu Weining: Action movies, have not yet taken over the martial arts scene.
Beijing News: What do you usually do when you are not working?
Xu Weining: When you are not working, you chase the drama, spend most of your time with your family, sleep well, read books, and do these small things in life that can reset yourself to zero.
