This 26-year-old Beijing boy who grew up as the dean of the military university and graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy loves to smile and can talk, but he has a kind of persistence and integrity in his performance: he does not care about the male and female supporting, the key is that the script and role can impress people; if the acting is not good enough, he will directly admit it, and learn from his predecessors under pressure, and improve little by little. "Who wouldn't want to be a good actor? I'm still far behind, but I'm very burdened. When Wang Tianchen said this, he put away the smile at the corner of his mouth and the cleverness of his words, and his tone and eyes were full of seriousness.

"Time and Space Call", in fact, I want to play a murderer
Gu Mingzhe (Wang Tianchen), a newcomer policeman in the suspenseful criminal investigation drama "Time and Space Call", has a heart of blood but does not know how to sprinkle it. However, in his childhood, he was afraid to tell the police what he saw because he was afraid of saying the wrong thing, resulting in the disappearance of his classmates not being solved for many years, which also became a spiritual shackle in Gu Mingzhe's heart. In the process of solving the case with He Jun (Li Xiaoran), the leader of the backlog team of the criminal police brigade, Gu Mingzhe gradually got rid of the sense of youth, found a balance between sensibility and rationality, and grew into a qualified criminal policeman.
In "Time and Space Call", Wang Tianchen plays the newcomer policeman Gu Mingzhe.
Although he has already picked a big beam in the TV series "Tang Brick", Wang Tianchen frankly said that playing Gu Mingzhe is still very stressful. "He has grown from a newcomer film policeman to an excellent and calm criminal policeman, and there are a lot of complicated feelings in the process, and I am worried that I can't play it." During the reading stage of the script, Wang Tianchen received some criticism because of his lack of emotions. He resisted the pressure to improve his performance, and quickly entered the scene after "dressing" in the real shooting stage, and even contributed a lot of ideas. For example, when filming a hot pot scene in an air raid shelter in Chongqing, Wang Tianchen looked up and saw that the diagonal angle had slid over the river cable car, and the clever machine moved with the director to propose a shot of a cable car, which could lead the plot down (the cable car was the first scene of the case). "I was very happy, a little proud, and my proposal was approved by the director."
Zhang Bin (Wang Ziyi), the suspect in the "Shoal Serial Murder Case" in the play, is Wang Tianchen's favorite character, even if the role is not much. Obviously, he has already decided to play the male lead, but when he met the director, he said that he wanted to play Zhang Bin, and the director was stunned. But Wang Tianchen had his reason: "Zhang Bin is pitiful and hateful. His plight is sympathetic, but his actions are extremely hateful. Many people in society have similar experiences, maybe not so extreme. In short, this role is too addictive. But later met Zhang Bin, played by Wang Ziyi, on the set, and Wang Tianchen admitted that "he is a more suitable candidate", very convincing and honest, without a little entanglement. Nowadays, the popular role competition in the show business circle, Wang Tianchen shows no youthful vigor in this regard. He confessed that he did not care about playing a man and a male supporting actor, the key was that the script and role could impress him.
Stealing from the seniors, learn self-discipline from Du Chun
The road to performance is very long, and although it is good to be famous, it is necessary to see who goes far in the end. The 26-year-old Wang Tianchen is not in a hurry, and he positions himself as a young actor who needs to constantly learn and improve. "Who wouldn't want to be a good actor? I'm still far behind, but I'm very burdened. Wang Tianchen self-analysis said that there are still many places in the popular "Time and Space Call" that he is not good enough, especially the emotional connection between the two scenes, "There is no way to compare with Xiao Ran And Du Chunge, and they have to continue to be tempered." ”
Wang Tianchen revealed that Li Xiaoran helped him a lot when filming "Time and Space Call". "I played with her a lot, and sometimes when I had difficulties in acting, she would take the initiative to suggest to me what to do. For example, in the early scene where Gu Mingzhe went to the criminal police team, I was more nervous. She would tell me how to play the scene, and not too tightly..."
And Du Chun brought him another kind of help. In the play, the two are in two time and space, the scene is filmed separately, basically will not be seen on the set, but will be encountered in the gym outside the play. From Du Chun, Wang Tianchen felt the self-discipline of an actor. He often strapped 15 kilograms of sandbags to do pull-ups. Once I went to the gym
Later, I saw the sweat from his running wet the tracks. He practiced very well and was also very disciplined. ”
In the "Eve" section of the movie "My Motherland and Me", Wang Tianchen played the substitute trumpeter.
In the "Eve" section of the National Day movie "My Motherland and Me", Wang Tianchen played the substitute trumpeter, and Wang Qianyuan and Huang Bo had opponents. The exploration of these two people in performance excellence has greatly benefited Wang Tianchen. "On the day of filming, Teacher Huang Bo was still sick, and he and I had a handshake scene, which was probably performed in three or four different ways. He observes my state and feelings, constantly making adjustments, and I am constantly trying to see how I can pick up his performance. Slowly I found that the feeling of a good actor is different, and it can make you shine when you play with him. The same is true of Wang Qianyuan, who pondered several ways to present a line about "donkey rolling" in the film. "They're looking at the environment, getting into the characters, and then using their understanding to represent the characters. Such a focused creative environment has taught me a lot. ”
Cooperative famous guides, Feng Xiaogang and Guan Hu's eyes are particularly sharp
"The Night Before" is not Wang Tianchen's first "electrocution", his big-screen debut was dedicated to Feng Xiaogang's "Fanghua", and he also played a trumpeter. The cooperation with the two film directors allows Wang Tianchen to get a first glimpse of the door of the film, and also increases the weight of the film direction in the future acting planning. He told reporters that he hopes to have more opportunities to star in the film, because the film image presentation form is more impressive, and there is more time to discuss the plot and sculpt the characters.
As early as the movie "Fanghua", Wang Tianchen played the trumpeter.
In Wang Tianchen's eyes, Feng Xiaogang and Guan Hu had particularly "pointed" eyes and were very serious about details. There is a rehearsal hall scene in "Fanghua", the left is the band, the right is the dance team, and in the film, it is just a large panoramic shot that passes by. During the filming process, Feng Xiaogang suddenly walked up to the band and pointed out at a glance that the props for the violin were not professional enough. "He's not just in control, he's paying attention to every detail." In addition, Feng Xiaogang also asked the makeup artist to make up the ear holes of the actors, but the makeup must be light, because the troops were not allowed to pierce the ears in that era.
Director Guan Hu's "sharp" eyes are reflected in his accurate judgment and control of images and lines. When Wang Tianchen first entered the group, he stood next to the monitor to observe, and he saw Guan Hu glance at it and gave a judgment - "the lens is empty, the composition is not good." Filming the rivalry between Wang Tianchen and Wang Qianyuan, Guan Hu suddenly proposed to change the word. Wang Tianchen felt a little flustered as a newcomer, but Guan Hu also took care of his emotions and asked for his opinion: "Tianchen, you think about it again, see if this word is smooth?" This made Wang Tianchen's pressure disappear at once, becoming down-to-earth and reassuring, and the changed lines were indeed more lifelike.
