"Fourteen Years of Chenghua" is of great significance to the new actor Liu Yaoyuan, and his greatest joy is to successfully create a role that makes the audience shine and love. Traffic and fame can not be sought, down-to-earth is the real future can be expected.
Young people should be free, but Wang Zhi was forced to mature from the beginning. As a child, he was warned by Wan Guifei that "you must laugh and not cry, only by laughing all the time can you live"; at the age of 17, he lived into the appearance of many adults aged 27 or even 37. Many people were afraid of him, but few loved him.
Such a complex role that is labeled as a villain but has always done justice is more difficult but more charming for Liu Yaoyuan, who is still a newcomer actor. He was attracted by Wang Zhi, who had no youthful spirit but had the enthusiasm of a teenager, so he played him, integrated into him, and expressed him!

Unique Wang Zhi
Wang Zhi has a historical prototype, originally named Wang Zhi, was a eunuch during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, who won the trust of the emperor and the love of Wan Guifei, who was in charge of the West Factory, not flattered, and had the merit of calming the chaos. In the end, because of the long town of Liaodong, he gradually became estranged from the emperor, and was framed and degraded by the East Factory, thus withdrawing from the political stage.
There is no shortage of artistic creations based on Wang Zhi in film and television works, such as Zhang Yilong's old calculation in "The Legend of the Medical Hall"; Tan Yaowen's introverted composure and infatuation in "Harem"; and Bai Ying's fierce heart in "The Butterfly Dream of Tianshi Zhong Kui".

The most classic is Chen Kun's Yuhuatian played in "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", whose "martial arts are lonely and defeated, and the shape of the East is undefeated", with meticulous thoughts, strong martial arts, cold and cruel, and most importantly, his face is handsome and charming, which is loved by the audience as "factory flower".
Liu Yaoyuan himself also likes "factory flowers", but he will deliberately avoid colliding with them when performing, "because Teacher Chen Kun's interpretation is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, many audiences' stereotypes of Wang Zhi are feminine." In fact, the prototype of the historical record is not like this, and he is only 17 years old in "Fourteen Years of Chenghua", and there is no femininity in the human setting, focusing on the portrayal of his long-sleeved and dancing courtiers. ”
As the viceroy of the West Factory, Wang Zhi has been living in the calculations of the Commander-in-Chief Shang Ming and Jin Yiwei of the East Factory, and after being framed by Shang Ming with a chicken bowl cup, the military moves to reverse the situation and reverse the situation until Shang Ming is punished. However, they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but smiled and greeted each other to resolve each other's embarrassment, and the city government could see it.
After eating through the characters, Liu Yaoyuan took the initiative to suggest to the director to add Wang Zhi's smiling scenes during the performance. A 17-year-old ruler, when he is with political enemies and snakes, when he sets language traps for prisoners under the order, and even when he routines his subordinates, he smiles and greets people, seemingly harmless to people and animals, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging and can enrich the characters and stimulate the audience's senses.
Wang Zhi under Liu Yaoyuan's interpretation moves freely between the eight forces, the double quotient is extremely high, the personality is arrogant, occasionally fierce, and the evil charm smile when casual is matched with a slightly rounded cheek, which shows the frankness and cuteness of the youth. Deeply loved by the audience, he created his own classic.
Eyes are the best way to express themselves
Compared with the clever and naïve Tang Fan and the cold-hearted Sui Zhou, Wang Zhi is undoubtedly more changeable. In Liu Yaoyuan's view, Wang Zhi is a combination of snake, tiger and small white rabbit, "it seems to be a very different contrast, but it is a complete and vivid him when pieced together." ”
The snake is well understood, his background is cunning and suspicious, and unusually poisonous tongue, which is laughed at by netizens as "living ETC". Subordinates should be afraid of making mistakes, and even the only two friends did not let go, stimulating Tang Fanshun's low salary in the Tianfu, and Sui Zhou sometimes asked for clues, which was the biggest clue. "When I was filming, there would often be staff on the set who would joke about Wang Zhi as soon as they heard the lines!"
The tiger symbolizes his power. The West Factory was originally established to balance the East Factory and the Jinyi Guard, and the emperor always stressed to Wang Zhi, "You are my eyes and my ears." The little white rabbit is his rare soft side, which belongs only to Wan Guifei. He would only show weakness in front of her, and he wanted to protect her and could not help but rely on her.
In order to show the differences in the roles to the audience in a more layered way, Liu Yaoyuan is very attentive to the communication of the eyes. The eyes are the windows of the mind, and in some episodes, the lines are obscure and introverted, and if you want to accurately express emotions, the eyes are the best weapon.
When getting along with Tang Fan and Sui Zhou, although his speech was often ruthless, his eyes were smiling, and the whole person seemed relaxed and happy; when he played word games with opponents such as Shang Ming and Wan Fu, even if he made himself weak in the dialogue, his eyes were playful and unremitting, with a sense of control; when questioned by Wan Guifei, his eyes were full of tears and grievances; when accompanying The King's side, it seemed that jun shengchen xian was nervous, and his eyes were vigilant.
In addition, one person playing two roles is also no small challenge. He not only has to play Wang Zhi, who grew up in the imperial palace, always remembers the rules and etiquette, and is a noble person, but also has to control the "fake Wang Zhi" Yang Fu, who grew up in the city and was in the company of the hooligans.
In order to give the audience a more intuitive feeling, he designed a lot of small actions for Yang Fu, such as unconsciously touching his nose, walking up and swinging, runny nose and wiping it casually without taking paper, and speaking in a flirtatious tone. Better representation of the character's social secularism and third-rate temperament.
Although the acting experience is not rich, Liu Yaoyuan did his best to find information, communicate with the director, design details by himself, etc., to better shape the role.
A hard-working hard-working actor
"Can a play become popular overnight?" I think there is, but the timing is unattainable. Liu Yaoyuan soberly believes that putting aside the definition of traffic, fame and success, the most important thing is the individual's mentality, effort and strength. His Weibo signature reads, "Thank you for liking me, it's my pleasure." This is his attitude towards "Fourteen Years of Chenghua" and all the works that follow.
Every actor is eager for his work to become a hit, his role can be loved by the audience, but the uncertainty of the market is too much, and the audience's orientation is changing at any time. What an actor can really do is create a good character and then accept any feedback from the work with a normal heart.
In fact, being an actor is a halfway point for Liu Yaoyuan, who studied opera in college and later spent some time as a singer. But film and television performance is his interest, and it is also what he is willing to fight for. The to-air drama "New Dragon Gate Inn" after "Fourteen Years of Chenghua" is a work he himself is looking forward to, playing the role of "Little King Ying" Yingguan Town.
The contrast between this role is very large, at the beginning is a generous and kind, loving teenager, after experiencing the dark side of the family being framed, hunting down and fleeing and conspiracy, he was calculated by people with hearts, almost blackened, and finally kept his original intention under the infection of the protagonist team.
Unfortunately, since his debut, he has starred in costume dramas, in fact, he is very much looking forward to being able to contact various themes such as period dramas and modern urban dramas. "I am very interested in criminal investigation dramas, such as Zhang Yishan's "Residual Sin" and the Indian film "Manslaughter in the Sky". I also want to challenge to play a villain who makes people hate and itch their teeth and will be afraid, instead of being a cute little cute like Wang Zhi. ”
However, Liu Yaoyuan also admitted that even if he has been acting in costume dramas for a period of time, he is not afraid of being questioned and repeating himself, because he is still young, and there will naturally be a breakthrough in the future after having the right to choose. "In contrast, I was more afraid of being questioned as the peak of my debut, and I was worried that "Fourteen Years of Chenghua" would become my most successful masterpiece, so no matter what work I starred in, I would redouble my efforts."
Although the story of the "Chenghua Trio" has come to an end, the story of the actors has just begun. Wang Zhi's role, which is also good and evil, undoubtedly painted a strong stroke for Liu Yaoyuan's just starting acting career. With this color, he will continue to meet more characters with very different personalities, and paint the splashed ink landscape paintings under his feet into colorful oil paintings.
