For many people, a TV series, a movie, a variety show, has no superfluous meaning. For Song Weilong, who needs to be involved all the time, they more often mean challenges. Whatever the form, what matters is the harvest. Recently, Song Weilong felt that he was more "open". At the same time, he has no time to stop, and can only quickly plunge into a new job with this mentality, because there are more unknowns waiting for him, whether as an actor or simply self.

Learn to let go
In the recently broadcast variety show "Bull-filled Brother", there is such a clip: a two-way battle, the way to compete is to play badminton. In the first half of the game, Song Weilong's little brother team was constantly losing, and it was about to lose to the big brother team on the other side. However, when it came to the decisive moment, Song Weilong suddenly burst out, and after a few decisive balls, the game situation was reversed. He was so demoralized that he even shouted at the other side. If you are someone familiar with Song Weilong, you will be shocked by this scene: Where did that little Song, who is usually silent, go?
This is not the first time that Song Weilong has participated in a variety show, but at the beginning, this cross-generational observation game competition program still made him nervous. "Because I wasn't very familiar with other brothers before recording, I needed to integrate into the new environment, so I was worried about whether I could adapt to this environment." Later, after getting familiar with it, it was much better. Playing the game has also been let go.".

"Let go", Song Weilong chose these three words to sum up his gains. Twelve episodes of the program were recorded, in addition to badminton matches, chases, land backstrokes, tug-of-war... Because there are photographers following all the time, it is not as simple as imagined to show the real side. One game after another is also a challenge to oneself again and again. But fortunately, in the end, he did.
On October 2, "Bull Brother" was successfully concluded, and he also sent a special Weibo, which looks like an ordinary forward, but in fact it is a memorial to self-growth. But Song Weilong did not have time to immerse himself in what had happened, the identity of the actor required him to keep moving forward, when people were still enjoying a rare holiday, Song Weilong's work in the crew has been intensively carried out, "filming, filming", life is filled with these two words, so that he does not even have time to watch a few movies that are being screened.

Non-stop
The appearance of pure goodness and harmlessness in "Phoenix Prisoner Phoenix" but the tolerance of the extremely good strategists, the fresh and warm Yuan Song in "The Next Stop is Happiness", and then the precocious and indifferent Ling Xiao in "In the Name of Family"... From the budding to the gradual popularity, relying on constantly creating new roles on the screen, Song Weilong only took a few years to be well known to the audience. For him, the idea of being an actor is to slowly sprout, develop, and become his belief in this process. "The first time I was exposed to acting was when I made my first scene. The actor's thoughts arise slowly, without a specific time. Long-term filming, contact with some directors and predecessors, will be infected by their professionalism and enthusiasm for performance, and after the work is broadcast, see some good evaluations, it will also be a great sense of achievement."
This kind of positive feedback of the approximate reward mechanism allows a person to continue to gain initiative in the process of achieving long-term goals, and for Song Weilong, this matter is a performance.
Because of the needs of the plot, the first scene of "Phoenix Prisoner" is set on the bed, and Song Weilong needs to get up from the bed and act in bed with the opponent actor. Just entered the group, did not know, hard scalp also have to act, so jerky, nervous became the emotion that ran through the whole scene. In addition, Rong Zhi is a simple appearance, in fact, extremely black, in order to achieve the goal can be unscrupulous character, this and the life of Song Weilong is too big a gap, because the experience is not rich enough, in the process of shaping the role, he actually carries a lot of pressure.

A severe insomnia occurred after the TV series aired. At that time, Song Weilong would pay attention to every message related to "Phoenix Prisoner", and once he saw some views that he disagreed with on casting, he would be trapped in a state of mind that was close to reflection. Fortunately, as the plot progresses, people see an extraordinary and profound tolerance of the city government. Perhaps it is precisely because of the outbreak under this pressure that there is a "lifelong mistake at first sight, and a lifelong mistake that is not tolerated."
By the time of "The Other Side of the Flower", Song Weilong is obviously not so tense, and due to the diversity of the character's personality, he has more opportunities to perform.
Whether it is physical pain or mental pressure, after bearing it, it has become a grind for yourself. Compared with the new industry, Song Weilong himself also perceived some changes. "I can better understand a character, I will also analyze this character, and if I feel that I have a better way to interpret a certain bridge in the script, I will also consult with the director."
Now after entering the set, as long as the surrounding clearance is given a little time to quiet down, Song Weilong can quickly empty himself and replace himself into the role. Although Song Weilong laughs and says that the taciturn characters he plays are like his own life, when it comes to acting and a sense of accomplishment, he shows a pure enthusiasm that is almost as childlike.

When asked if he could unconditionally choose the role he wanted to challenge the most, Song Weilong sighed for a moment and said: "There is no specific role type, or it depends on the script." You may want to play a negative character, but this negative character is not pure bad, he has a reason to become bad, there is a process from good to bad. ”
At the moment, no one wants, and no one can stand still, and Song Weilong naturally understands this truth. After accumulating a certain amount of work, a young actor also wants the opportunity to achieve a breakthrough in his career. Because of this, he wants to hear more about his acting skills than the evaluation of his appearance.

However, the performance is essentially a process full of uncontrollable factors, the audience will not think too much about the layers behind this, a work is online, others will only have a good and bad evaluation of you, so the actor is actually an extremely passive profession, want to actively seek recognition in the passive, can only do to make themselves more powerful - whether it is professional skills, or the heart.
Song Weilong understands that it is painful to compete with himself, but as a feeling-type actor, he cannot make a complete performance go on without trying to convince himself of the rationality of his role. To do this means that you need to deeply understand the psychological process behind the script and the characters in the early stages. This is the process of experiencing the life of the character, and it is also one of the best places to be an actor.
However, there is no one thing that can get rid of the law of two sides, and at this point, Song Weilong smiled bitterly, "The worst part is that I can't spend time with my family."

Gain ease
In the past two years, his self-conscious personality has become more mature, and people have become more independent. But people who know Song Weilong know that long ago, he was an opinionated child.
Dalian, Liaoning, a rich northern coastal city that nurtured Song Weilong's childhood. However, as early as the age of 9, he left his hometown and began to learn martial arts, and this impulse and enthusiasm was due to watching the movie "Shaolin Temple". After entering the martial arts school, Song Weilong tasted the hard taste for the first time: getting up at 4 o'clock, running exercises, training, various daily norms, and even being spanked because the bedding was not folded. A year later, just when everyone thought that he would always stay in the martial arts school, Song Weilong, who did not want to be able to develop unilaterally, chose to return to Dalian and continue to practice martial arts while making up for the lessons he had left behind.
However, no matter how brave, in the eyes of most parents, children will always be children and cannot make their own decisions. Although he was more carefree when he was a child, Song Weilong still prefers the present.
With more freedom, he wanted to make his life richer. In the past two years, Song Weilong has learned to ride a horse, surf and windsurf, and once went to Basel, he also tried a high-altitude skydiving. Sometimes, when people do things, they are not too bothered by emotional problems. After living a full life, Song Weilong found that he rarely felt anxious. "I don't deliberately immerse myself in anxious emotions. Usually don't think too much, don't ask for too much, think about what you have now, you are very satisfied. ”

Independence and autonomy are often just appearances, and Song Weilong, who has more choices, also has his true self.
But in fact, "self" is a very abstract concept. Instead of thinking about what it is, do more of the present, and the answer to the question may be hidden in some unexpected place. Song Weilong will not fail to understand, which can be seen everywhere in the details of his life. He also uses social media. When you have time, look at Weibo and Douyin, especially funny and pet categories, "it looks relaxed" Between work, Song Weilong mostly stays at home, or plays games, or finds friends to play with, or takes care of cats and dogs. It is also a blessing to be able to spend time with your pets in your rare free time.
Quiet, silent, self-enjoyment, the use of these three words to describe Song Weilong seems very appropriate, but in Song Weilong's eyes, "self" is far from so simple, not so limited. "I couldn't find any particularly appropriate label to describe every period of my life. Labels are too fixed, but people's personalities are rich and may be made up of many labels. "As for the future, don't think about it, everything still has to go with the flow. Creating a character from scratch, Song Weilong is ready at any time.
