Enter the group early for ice training
In the play, Zhang Yuewei, played by Han Jiunuo, is the soul of the short track speed skating team and has a strong professional level. A short hair with a sharp hair is a cool girl on the college campus who makes everyone look up but dare not approach; Jiang Shijia, played by Cao Bo, is the good partner and iron brother of the protagonist Li Yubing (Zhang Xincheng) in the ice hockey team, who is humorous and good at playing treasure, likes Zhang Yuewei but does not dare to confess.

Although Zhang Yuewei and Jiang Shijia had to fly on the ice, the two actors had almost no contact with ice sports before. "Before I came to Ice Sugar Stewed Sydney, I didn't even know what the ice projects were." Han Jiunuo said that the biggest challenge of this drama is the basic posture of speed skating, speed skating shoes are very painful to wear, and need to press the center of gravity very low, but also to maintain this posture, which is a difficulty for her who has hurt her knees before dancing.

Cao Bo recalled that the filming cycle of this drama exceeded 100 days, but in order to be familiar with ice sports, he and Zhang Xincheng, Han Jiunuo, etc. all entered the group a month in advance, "When I first started training, I would fall every day, and I often had injuries on my body, which can be said to be every day in bite my teeth training." But what makes Cao Bo proud is that through a lot of training in the early stage, he can now play with the professional ice hockey players in the play, "There will always be a reward for the effort." ”
Reminiscing about campus life is bitter and happy
The play shows the college life of modern young people, what was the college life of the two young actors?
Recalling his campus life, Cao Bo, who graduated from the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy, recalled, "My college life was 'bitter', and there was a very youthful time. 'Bitterness' means that you need to work hard, get up at 5:30 every morning to do morning work, and rehearse at night. In fact, the play "Rock Sugar Stewed Sydney" also has to go through a lot of training, which is also very bitter, and this bitterness is also a more resonant place in the university. ”
Because of his hard work, Cao Bo became "someone else's child" very early, he also won the gold medal in the singing competition in high school, was admitted to Nortel in 2010, and was pushed as a master's student in Nortel acting in 2014 because of the comprehensive ranking of the class. "Actually, I'm not someone else's child. For example, on the first day of school, I was lucky enough to run for class president. After becoming a class leader, many things have to be done by yourself, you have to be more mature and stable than others, and you can only force yourself to grow, for example, if you have bad grades, everyone will not be convinced. The learning experience is to work hard, there are no shortcuts. ”
Relatively speaking, Han Jiunuo's art examination was not smooth. She studied dance since she was a child, and after graduating from dance school, "At that time, I took the exam 3 times before I was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, and I was very determined to take the exam, and I was also working hard." I think it's a great blessing if people can find something they like in life, and you can work for a lifetime, I love acting, so I bravely chase my dreams. ”
In the 4 years after graduation, Han Jiunuo has accumulated her experience as an actor more on the stage of small dramas. "I actually accidentally entered the Xiaoke Theater by mistake, and what I felt was that the theater actors were like family, whether it was in my performance or life, they all gave me a lot of help." Now if I don't shoot a scene, I will also go back to the small theater to recharge myself. ”

Red Star News: It's a drama about young people chasing their dreams, do you have a similar story?
Cao Bo: My view is the same as Jiang Shijia, it is not that you stand first on the podium, you are the champion. As long as you give action, as long as you pay and work hard for this dream you love, you are the champion. When I first went to college, I really wanted to try it out for film school because I liked acting, and I ended up getting in. I loved acting, and after working hard, the final performance chose me and made me an actor.
Han Jiunuo: As far as I am concerned, since I was a child, I was a person who was very clear about what I wanted, when I was 16 years old, I told my family, "Give me 5 years, I will definitely be admitted to the Beijing Film Academy", my family is also very supportive of me, I took the exam for 3 years to get admitted, I did not feel a lot of pressure at that time, I was very determined to work hard. If you have dreams and beliefs that you love in your mind, nothing can stop you, so if you have a dream, you must be brave to chase!

Red Star News: As a young actor, what are your thoughts on the future of performance?
Cao Bo: After playing the role of Jiang Shijia, my outlook on life has actually changed a lot. Jiang Shijia's dream is to live every day steadily, and now I think very similarly with Jiang Shijia, I agree with him, that is, to live every day steadily, just work hard. First of all, I have always loved acting, and I am willing to continue to pay for it and keep improving. When acting, I will pay attention to experiencing life, so that I can better integrate into the role and let myself have some depth.
Han Jiunuo: I hope that the image I have created can be recognized, liked and remembered by the audience, and I hope to become an actor who transmits positive energy to the public.
