Cai Shuzhen, a model who has been shortlisted for the Golden Bell Award, challenged a noblewoman "Tang Juan" who was on the edge of emotional morality in the new public television drama "Sin Eater". Cai Shuzhen analyzed the role in an interview with "Sister Tao" and believed that Tang Juan, like most women, was groping for what she wanted along the way, but her sensibility was greater than her reason, so she misjudged the situation, and finally hurt others and hurt herself, "She originally thought that finding a man who loved her was the most important, and then she realized that she was not happy."
Tang Juan in "The Sin Eater" married a 20-year-old rich businessman, and her economic life was safe, but she began to yearn for a true love, so she had an extramarital affair with "Wang Jie" played by Cao Yanhao, Cai Shuzhen said: "Tang Juan was originally married to 'Qian', but later found that she felt comfortable with Wang Jie, so she began to question her past values and choices."
Like sociologist Maslow's "theory of needs," once humans have met their security needs, they look upwards for social needs, self-actualization, and emotional needs. Cai Shuzhen believes that the process of Tang Juan's derailment is a series of journeys for her to find herself, "although her behavior is not right, when I understand her growth trajectory, I will begin to sympathize with her." I'll find that the good and evil of human nature are like the opposites of a coin, and it's funny, it's a magical moment when I fell in love with acting."

Looking at the 44-year-old Cai Shuzhen's acting career, she is similar to Tang Juan, in the ups and downs of life, slowly groping and finding the direction of life.
She was originally a model, never wanted to become an actress, only sporadic cameos, until 2010 in "Sharp Wife" as Sui Tang's girlfriend "He Ailin" became popular, and then officially transformed. After that, he suffered a series of pains, "The difference between a model and an actor is the difference between heaven and earth, the model shows the product, so try to minimize himself; but the actor has to show the role, but he has to put himself to the maximum." 」
Cai Shuzhen still couldn't master the trick at the beginning, suffered a lot, and was humiliated by the director on the set to "score 0 points for your performance", or the door-to-door role always had a good-looking "vase". She smiled dumbly and bitterly: "At that time, the task I was given was inseparable from 'beautiful', and if you want to find beautiful women, you will find me." 」

The outside world has given Cai Shuzhen prejudice, she used it to reflect and examine why she worked so hard, but she was always not enough to break free from the stereotype given to her by the world. In the end, she found that everything was "not loose enough" on her own, "when you care too much about one thing, you will desperately try to do it well, but you are too anxious to do anything well."
When filming "Knowing the Hero", Cai Shuzhen really realized the relaxation, "Director Lai Mengjie helped me a lot, he completely trusted me, just threw me a key point (key point) of the role, let me follow the melon, use my way to understand the role, and really have the feeling of being integrated with the role." 」 With the performance of "Knowing the Hero" was affirmed, Cai Shuzhen's film type began to appear "genre drama", and the roles were more diverse, so that she finally had the freedom to throw off the burden of the flower bottle.
In "The Sin Eater", Tang Juan did not lament "finding true love" until she met Wang Jie, but Cai Shuzhen said that every relationship she has is true love, and she will always pay attention to the needs of the other party, "Assuming that he is late for a date with me, I will not blame the other party, but understand what makes him late." 」
Cai Shuzhen understands that the most important thing in a relationship is space and trust, "You must first learn to give yourself and the other side space, leave the space to love yourself, because if you don't love yourself, no one will love you." 」 "If you can take good care of yourself, you have the ability to give the other person what they want." 」
It's like dancing a double, moving in and out, keeping your distance, and occasionally sticking close to each other, adjusting your pace without changing the other person, "If he forced himself to cooperate with you, it wouldn't last long." Cai Shuzhen said seriously.
Cai Shuzhen admitted that until she was in her 30s, she was meeting the expectations of others, and she wanted to get married and have children quickly, and she was too anxious to cause her feelings to change the tone. "Now I think it's better to go with the flow, on the one hand, I know what I want and what I don't want, and after knowing this, I am much happier, and it is very hard to live in the expectations of others." 」
