"Think about the characters, not how to make money"
What do you do when a stable life contradicts your inner dreams?
Do you want to stay in the comfort and comfort of the "warm boiled frog" style, or do you follow your inner dream and give it a go?
Yuan Xinran chose the second one.
Before she became an actress, she had an envied "iron rice bowl" job - a TV station host.
"When you're a host, you don't want to waste the expertise you've learned in four years of college." Yuan Xinran said so, but the stable work made Yuan Xinran ignite his childhood dream. "I have loved acting since I was a child, and I feel very fresh and can pursue a different life." In order to "fertilize and irrigate" the seeds of the inner actor and let them thrive, Yuan Xinran resolutely resigned from the stable host job.
"I had the courage to be an actor, but I didn't think about how to be an actor." This was the confusion that Yuan Xinran encountered when he first entered the actor's industry. Even if you cultivate a strong sense of camera when you are a host, a non-acting professional background will bring many inconveniences. In order to lay a good foundation as an actor, she entered the crew to study from scratch.
In order to get a chance to star, Yuan Xinran had a long waiting experience of four months, "I traveled thousands of miles to the hotel arranged by the brokerage company to wait for filming, there was no source of income, and the combined deposit of all bank cards at that time did not exceed four hundred yuan." She recalls that in order to end this distant day, she left the agency she signed and began a life of hosting and shooting advertisements at the same time. In addition to making ends meet, the main thing is to have enough savings to realize your dreams.
In the long wait of four months, Yuan Xinran realized that the opportunity would never come to the door by himself, but only rely on his own efforts to win.
Yuan Xinran's first big-screen debut was in the movie "Ip Man 2", in which she played the role of a ring girl. When she doesn't have her own role, she uses the time off the set to study how other actors shoot and learn acting skills.
In order to hone his acting skills, Yuan Xinran likes to challenge some difficult plays, "The more difficult the challenge, the more I like it." This year's thriller horror film "Remembrance of the Soul" is something she has not dabbled in before, and when it comes to shooting this movie, it "feels very exciting." During the filming of another drama, "Big (2) God Catch", the female number one she played had a scene where she was knocked off a cliff by the villain and floated in the water. At that time, the weather was very cold, and it was enough to float in the water for more than half an hour, and Yuan Xinran also revealed that he could not swim in fact. When asked if she had considered using a stand-in, she said sternly, "I don't need someone else to complete my own work." ”
Perennial non-stop acting, Yuan Xinran prides himself on being a "workaholic". "If you don't work, your heart will be very empty", every time the crew kills her, she becomes the person who doesn't want to leave, "Some people may think that the crew will be very boring and boring, but I am very happy to stay in the crew." "Entering different crews means constantly realizing your dream of being an actor." There are so many opportunities to help realize dreams, and every play is very grateful. ”
So far, Yuan Xinran has participated in dozens of roles in film and television dramas. After several years of tempering, she has her own little know-how in acting. "You can't fit into the character just by looking at the script." Yuan Xinran explained that only by writing a "biography of a character" can he describe the life experience he understands and gives to this character, so that there will be no estrangement from him.
"Playing a role is addictive" Yuan Xinran recalled that when filming the anti-war drama "Predatory Light Cavalry", he played the anti-no. 1 lily, and in the play this person was notoriously sinister and cunning. In order to play such a bad image from the inside out, she insisted on writing the story of the character's experience in the play every day, and she would carefully consider her eyes and demeanor during the break on the set. For a long time, her eyes made others feel chilled.
"I enjoy the process of acting, like experiencing different lives", each role he has received, Yuan Xinran is very careful to care. In the interview, she also vividly compared the role to "first love", "because it is very fresh, so curious", will use the accumulated actor skills to conquer each role, play each role well.
