If it is an audience who has just opened "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog", it is estimated that it is difficult to have a good feeling for the character of "Xuan Nian Mei". Judging from the opening plot, this character is willful and rebellious, and he also treats his father coldly, so he puts himself in danger many times. In the words of netizens, he "knew that someone was following, and he didn't have much self-protection, and he also rejected his father's pick-up and drop-off, and even tried his best to act alone, for fear of being too safe." In the social platform, we can also see the audience's discussion and criticism of the behavior of "Xuan Nian Mei". Overall, this is a less "pleasing" character, and it carries the key points of the entire case in the play, and is destined to accept more "review" eyes.
After these glances, who would have thought that Mira, the actor of "Xuan Nian Mei", is an actor who has just turned 17 years old. In the shot, she not only has to play the role of "Xuan Nianmei", a female high school student who is somewhat rebellious and longs for freedom in her heart; she also has to play two roles and play the role of "Xuan Zhen", who seems to have a cheerful personality, beautiful and gentle. This is not an easy task for an actor who is not yet an adult.
"It's the first time you've had to play two completely different roles in one play at the same time." In an exclusive interview with Cover News, actor Mira slowly came to this special shooting journey. This is not only the first time she has obtained the experience of "one person playing two roles", but also the first time since her acting that she has starred in such a heavy role. "I think this experience is very precious and unforgettable for me, not only gained valuable experience, but also gained many very good friends." Mira said so.
One person plays two roles
"Place yourself completely in the context of the character"
A messy short hair, somewhat bulky black-rimmed glasses, and a wide, monotonous school uniform. Nian Mei, who debuted in "The Mystery fog of the Octagonal Pavilion", has a flat face, with some gloomy and heavy taste, and her eyes seem to be full of heart. As soon as the camera turns, she becomes Nian Mei's aunt "Xuanzhen", a young girl who is loved by family and friends, has a lively personality, but is murdered by others, and dies in a fancy life...
It can be said that these two characters not only have a huge difference in personality, but also live in an age of nearly 20 years. Because of this, higher requirements are put forward for acting skills. In previous media interviews, the main creative team had said that the role of "Nian Mei" screened a lot of actresses, and Mira's appearance was "unanimously decided by the team".
"At first, there was some nervousness and apprehension, because it was the first time to play two completely different roles in a play at the same time, and to be able to let the audience see the difference between the two at a glance, I think it was a big challenge for me." Mira said that in her cognition, she felt that the role of Nian Mei was much more complicated to interpret than Xuan Zhen, because she was a "rebellious but kind" person. "The first few episodes are always unhappy, talking and doing things will also make people feel a little screwed, and at the beginning, everyone may not understand why she is so rebellious." 」
In the plot, Nian Mei's father imprisoned her life because of an accident with his sister "Xuanzhen", making her rebel and longing for freedom. Mira also admits that this is indeed a less pleasing role, but in addition, she also humbly accepts the controversy of her acting skills. "In addition to the character's personality itself is not very pleasing, I myself have a lot of room for improvement in interpreting the role, and I have seen suggestions and evaluations on the Internet, and I will learn from experience and work hard."
In fact, whether it is Nian Mei or Xuan Zhen, it is far from the daily life of Mira in real life. Without the same background and experience as the character, it is sometimes difficult to "empathize". Especially for Mira, whose social experience is still far from enough, how to convince herself to become someone else is a step that must be taken.
"Although in real life, I am not a person with the personality of Nian Mei or Xuan Zhen, when I am completely in the shooting environment and play them, there will be some moments that make me feel that I have some similarities with the characters. Although the experiences are not similar, some feelings will resonate. ”
Just turned 17
"Acting makes me experience more of life"
Mira has participated in some film and television dramas before, such as "Problem Restaurant", "Wild Age", "Skyscraper", "Cheongsam Beauty Detective" and so on. But in these dramas, she mostly starred in the juvenile era of the protagonist, until the arrival of "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog", she can be regarded as a real sense of "provoking the beam" and playing a crucial role in the play.
It is reported that as the first episode broadcast after the return of the "Mist Theater" this year, "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" has been highly anticipated by the audience since the beginning of the official announcement. Not to mention, the drama also brings together powerful actors such as Duan Yihong, Zu Feng, and Hao Lei, as well as directors Wang Xiaoshuai and Hua Zhen, who have won numerous awards. For Mira, who is still "fledgling" on the road of acting, this is naturally a valuable learning opportunity.
"This is the first time I've filmed with so many professional teachers at the same time, and the teachers have given me a lot of professional help. Not only that, but they will tell me about their experiences. "Speaking of these stories, Mira revealed a sense of well-behavedness that matched her age, and talked about getting along with her predecessors." Like Teacher Wen Zhengrong, after getting along with her, I think acting is a very interesting thing, and I can often live as another person and experience a different life. ”
Mira also knows that on the road of acting, she will have to go through a long tempering. "I didn't actually shoot many scenes, and I didn't have a lot of acting experience. Acting is a very interesting thing for me, and it can also allow me to experience more life and increase some personal experience. ”
Conversation with Mira:
Shoot more and better meaningful works
Cover News: There are reports that you enter the group half a month in advance to familiarize yourself with the characters and then practice the scenes in the play. What else was prepared for this role?
Mira: Before booting up, I learned a part of the Kunqu opera in advance. During the filming of the group, I also continued to learn.
Cover News: In the play, the personalities of Xuan Nianmei and Xuan Zhen are very different, and then the era of life is also different. It should not be easy to constantly switch performance states in the play, how did you overcome this difficulty?
Mira: The environment in which Nian Mei and Xuan Zhen live, the external dress, and the friends around them are all different. I think these external factors are also helping me to better distinguish between the two.
Cover News: Do you have some plans for the future? For example, what kind of actor do you want to become, and what kind of work do you want to star in?
Mira: For the future, I don't dare to think too far, I hope that I can improve my acting skills and shoot more and better meaningful works.
