Recently, Douban opened a score of 7.7 "My Babylonian Lovers" soon after its launch, it came out of the circle with an unexpected secondary two and a "laughing and not living" Mary Sue plot. Even if the nonsense plot is explained at the beginning from the Spring Heart Diary of a 12-year-old girl, the audience is still shocked by such a "giggling" plot. Constructing this embarrassing but wonderful, Mary Sue healing story, is a social phobia girl named Chen Meiru. Her actor Bu Guanjin, in another hit drama "Gongzi Allure", played the eccentric heroine Lin Chi, with a funny and funny personality and an alternative way of sprinkling sugar that is unforgettable.
Whether it is Lin Chi or Chen Meiru, it is difficult for the audience to associate them with the same actor at the first time, because the performer Bu Guanjin, who is integrated with the role, has retreated to a hidden corner of the role, and what she presents to the audience is a variety of lives that are either illusory or realistic.
The society of the crazy Mary Sue world is (positive) fearful (often) people
Chen Meiru seems to be the most normal character in the whole "My Babylonian Lover", treating people and things with a sense of proportion, working hard, there is a hairy Little Jiang Huizhen (played by Zhu Yan Manzi) who does not abandon, if there is any "problem", she has some social fear. However, social fear is not a big problem in contemporary society per se, until she stumbled into the crazy Mary Sue world she had constructed on her 24th birthday.
When Murong Jay lun (played by Feng Xiaoyue), The Nine Heavenly Dragon Girls (played by Xu Weining), and Ouyang Wenshan (played by Wang Changrui), these ancient Babylonian wonders with their own "strange" points appeared in her life, she was forced to step out of the comfort zone of social terror she had created, face the life that was out of control at every moment, and then enter her heart, face love and self.
In the view of Bu Guanjin, the actor of Chen Meiru, "My Babylonian Lover" is a healing story cloaked in absurdity, and Chen Meiru is the person who is cured. "Suddenly celebrating my birthday, Chen Meiru seems to be afraid of me personally", "Bu Guanjin is clearly very seriously panicked and frightened, and it is too real"... Bu Guanjin brilliantly completed the role of a overwhelmed social terrorist in a crazy world.
Before getting the script for three episodes and preparing to audition, Bu Guanjin's "My Babylonian Lover" is a very flying, a little childish, and pink bubbles everywhere. This made her hesitate a little, and as she learned more about the story, she began to be moved by some of the plot and lines. For example, Chen Meiru, who was originally very sad and pessimistic, was gradually healed by Murong Jaylen after spending some time with him, and said a touching line: "Because of you, I am willing to love the world deeply; because of you, I am no longer afraid of here..."
When she first took over the role of Chen Meiru, she was impressed by not only the seriousness, dedication and dedication of the team, but also the resonance of the role. In her opinion, the similarity between herself and Chen Meiru is that she is "both ordinary" girls. With a deep understanding of the plot and characters, she gradually fell in love with the worldview and character settings constructed by this story, hoping to find a way to love and communicate through Chen Meiru for more people who are "love incompetent" or socially afraid.
Shortly after the start of the play, Bu Guanjin wrote a small essay about "My Babylonian Lover" on Weibo, telling her mood for the first time to contact the script and the role, she thought that the drama looked like "full of absurd words", but thinking about it carefully, it was actually "a handful of bitter tears". This is the real "comedy" in her mind - the "comedy" that portrays the true pain in people's hearts with absurdity.
Becoming Chen Meiru, Bu Guanjin gained a lot. She perfectly interprets how a 24-year-old girl carrying the shadow of her childhood completes the process of self-redemption. The contraction, tension and restraint presented by the characters in the early stages, with the unveiling of the secrets of the diary and the acceptance of the absurd reality, are transformed into the bravery of love and the sense of responsibility belonging to adults after retreating into butterflies, and these nuanced emotions and psychology are vividly interpreted by her.
There is a scene in which Murong Jay-lun, Ouyang Wenshan, and the Nine Heavenly Dragon Girls are dying and hospitalized, which is a turning point where Chen Meiru has to face reality and bear everything. In order to find a way to save everyone, Bu Guanjin's small body erupted with some kind of energy that was different from the old self, and in the face of her lover Murong Jaylen, who had awakened, she naturally said the confession lines in a way that was unique to social fear and embarrassment, which became a touching bridge section of the whole play.
Bu Guanjin admitted that he was once worried that the role of Chen Meiru was not liked by the audience, "In the face of the gentle and handsome prince who constantly confessed, he has always resisted resistance, which reminds me of a similar character in the Taiwanese drama "Want to See You" that I have watched before, called Chen Yunru. At that time, many viewers didn't like that role, and I was afraid that Chen Meiru would be hated. It turns out that Chen Meiru not only did not "hate" the audience, but healed many people.
"I hope that everyone is willing to feel this drama, and I hope that unhappy friends can be happy and can be healed in the process with Meiru, feel the power of 'sincerity', and realize how important 'love' is to your life." Needless to say, Bu Guanjin and her character have fulfilled this wish.
Find another self in "The Fall of the Prince"
If Chen Meiru is Bu Guanjin's use of performance to achieve a healing path for the audience, Lin Chi in "Gongzi Allure" shows her comedic talent. At the beginning, the "one-man show" in which Lin Chi escaped from prison after cheating on the fast catch successfully laid a comedic background for the role, and most of the self-talking lines brought out a kind of neurotic ghost horse cuteness under Bu Guanjin's interpretation. Then in the opponent scene with Mo Qingchen (played by Wang Xingyue), her liveliness and the cold feeling of the other party formed a contrast, creating a common sugar bumping effect in the sweet pet drama, and in an instant, the netizens threw sugar the biggest feeling about the pasted couple, "sweet but not greasy" is the most common way to taste sugar in the bullet screen area.
For Bu Guanjin, who does not have much experience in costume sweet pet dramas, the light comedic effects carried by the characters are not a problem, and it is more important to establish a sense of faith in the story and characters, whether it is "Gongzi Allure" or "My Babylonian Lover", the script and character settings give her a full basis for performance and creation, "All are good stories that will attract me after watching." ”
In the eyes of the outside world, Bu Guanjin seems to have the physique to attract good works, most of the works have a good reputation, and Bu Guanjin attributes it to his careful choice of themes, stories and characters.
Bu Guanjin can find that part of himself in different roles, Lin Chi and Chen Meiru are two extreme personality characters, "a social cow X disease, a social fear, my own daily life is more serious, serious, not funny, closer to Chen Meiru's state." Lin Chi shows the social cow X side that I don't pay much attention to myself, you can hardly say which is me, the role can make me discover more different myself. ”
Playing with different people also allows Bu Guanjin to learn a lot of performance methods, in the face of the cold strange light dust and the enthusiastic Murong Jaylen, in her opinion, finding "complementarities" with each other is the key to making CP naturally attract attention, which may have similar principles to real love. "You have to believe in the characters and the plot and give affection, and then convey this belief through performance, in order to impress the audience." Whether it is sugar or cure, it is the same truth. ”
Enrich the experience, endure the pain, and be a good actor
"Acting" is the evaluation made by most people after watching Bu Guanjin's works, and now "My Babylonian Lover" and "The Fall of the Prince" once again prove her grasp and control of performance.
Bu Guanjin said that polishing acting skills is more from life, whether in the play or outside the play to enrich their own experience, "even if there is pain in the process, bearing pain is also part of the growth of the actor." ”
Bu Guanjin never uses "right" to judge her role or work, she chooses to use her own way to enter the role, open the role, and finally present the role. "You have to ask me if it's difficult to perform, there is no standard for this. The difficulty lies in the process by which you believe the story and the characters, and it is not difficult to believe. "She has always used her performances to tell the audience that she believes in every character and story that is imposed on her from the bottom of her heart.
During the interview, Bu Guanjin always expressed her thinking about the identity of the actor with a serious and serious attitude, and the key factors in her eyes are: aesthetic choice, understanding of "people", and compassion for the suffering of the world. This kind of cognition and life eventually reflects on her role, which is very moving.
From the big screen to the small screen, Bu Guanjin continues to show a unique "color" among the diverse types of young actresses, petite and delicate, she has the delicacy of the girl next door, enters the role, and a performance tension full of countless possibilities begins to prevail. This makes everyone who has seen her perform expect her to bring more surprises in her next work.
