Zhang Ningjiang's face often appears in various military-themed TV series, unconsciously seems to be labeled as a "tough guy", and in real life, he is indeed a veritable tough guy, but also for the tough guy name, tough guy ≠ rough guy, the real tough guy should be from the inside to the outside, from the psychology to the appearance of a strong hormone atmosphere. In the recent hit "Hot BloodEd Soldier", Sima Zhange, played by him, has transformed from a stubborn and insistent dream to a wolf tough guy, which has attracted heated discussion.
In addition to "Hot-Blooded Soldiers", Zhang Ningjiang has also starred in "Criminal Police Captain", "Fighter Ten Strikes", "Indelible Fan Number" and other "tough guy series", and he has also won the recognition of industry insiders with his accurate and excellent performance in the play, as well as the unanimous praise of the audience, becoming a real acting school.
As a professional actor, in order to make his performance closer to the role, Zhang Ningjiang will go to "experience life" after receiving the role, before the shooting of "Hot-Blooded Soldier", although he has already had the experience of participating in "Star Soldier Registration" and filming military dramas, he still chooses to enter the army to experience life, playing "Criminal Police Captain" He will go to the criminal police team, and the traffic police really follow the traffic police. Perhaps it is precisely because of his serious and focused attitude that he will be more three-dimensional when interpreting the role of Sima Zhange.
In fact, these practices for an actor should be done, art comes from life, no role is by imagination can be played well, at the same time art is higher than life, only by experiencing the life of the role can the character be played, and even let the character itself be sublimated, of course, these "experiences" for the actor himself is also a way to hone his acting skills, the correct creative attitude is conducive to the actor to create a better role, to bring more inspiration to the performance.
q: The previous works also have the experience of working with "old drama bones", will they get inspiration from acting and attitude?
a: "The most intuitive feeling I feel about working with old drama bones is their concentration and dedication to creation, and I will follow their example, reflect these things on me, and then present them to all the people around me." The second is that sometimes a scene, in the performance of the time there will be a, b, c three schemes, maybe each program director can pass, but the old drama bones will tell you why he will choose a certain way of acting, so that the acting is the most accurate in place, I will learn from them in the process of shooting how to find the uniqueness of the performance, and constantly hone their acting skills. ”
Zhang Ningjiang's works have always been based on military themes, always playing the same type of role for the actors themselves, in fact, is not a good thing, the audience is easy to form an inherent understanding of the actors, Zhang Ningjiang is also deeply aware of this, he said, "I want to try some emotional drama rich, or costume drama, or similar to the "Mekong Action" this kind of hormone-strong men's play." Because many military-themed TV series have been filmed, I feel that I may have reached a bottleneck for this type of role, and sometimes I need to make more other attempts. ”
The reason why Zhang Ningjiang chose to shoot military dramas is because he has always had a "military dream" in his heart, and he has always felt that it is a regret that he has not been able to become a soldier, in order to make up for this regret, he chose the military theme drama, chose to participate in the "Star Soldier Registration", and stayed in the barracks for three months completely, he said, "It is precisely because of these experiences that I will feel like I have really been a soldier." Even many people who have been soldiers will ask me if I have been a soldier when they see me. Unconsciously, he has been influenced by the army and shows the temperament of a soldier. These may be the reasons why he was able to express the role of Sima Zhange more vividly.
Q: Of the many roles I've played, which one is closest to myself in personality? More inclined to interpret similar roles to yourself or the opposite?
a: "Sima Zhange is actually very similar to me, and the most similar thing about this character to me is that he is stubborn, competitive, and strong. Some of the roles I've played before are too typed, and the audience can see me more singlely, so I want to play some roles that can convey a lot of information and show all aspects of myself, so that I can have more room to play."
For actors, experiencing life and doing enough homework for the role is certainly an important factor in performance, but if you want to continuously improve your acting skills, only these are far from enough. Nowadays, both peers and audiences have a certain recognition of Zhang Ningjiang's acting skills, but it is not an easy task to get these.
Zhang Ningjiang's early works actually have some shortcomings and shortcomings in acting, and he himself admitted that he did not dare to look at his previous works, because he felt that he really did not reach a certain level of maturity in acting at that time, but in recent years, some of the works that were relatively close to me I will definitely watch, and only by watching my own performance can I find out my shortcomings in acting in time, and realize that after the later performance, I will strengthen and improve, just like watching the replay on the spot is a truth. ”
The previously filmed foreign-related TV series "Moscow Action" and the movie "Qinghe Men's High" will also meet with you this year. "Moscow Action" revolves around a case, there is not much emotional drama, most of the time the actors need to show the relationship between the characters through their own performance state, is a veritable "man's play", and "Mekong Action" should have a lot of similarities.
Because it is filmed in Moscow, many times need to communicate with local actors or directors, Zhang Ningjiang revealed that a lot of interesting things happened during the shooting process, first of all, the language barrier, followed by the domestic shooting method is different from them, filming in China will sometimes be divided into a and b groups, but moscow counterparts can not accept this shooting method, there will be a lot of small episodes in the filming process, very interesting. It seems that the impact of cultural differences exists with various industries.
q: What homework did you do with the characters in the movie "Qinghe Men's High"?
a: "The role I played in the play "Qinghe Male High" is two cakes, but also a state more than the line of the play, the script did not make this role very rich, I will go to my own speculation, let him become more vivid and three-dimensional, I through a lot of props to assist their performance, to give this role extra points, such as broad beans, pendants on my body, the pendants on my body are I went to Panjiayuan Market during the previous preparation period, and there are some pseudo-Manchu badges and other things, I want to use these things to constantly enrich the role of the second cake. ”
Zhang Ningjiang at work works hard, and he is also a person who loves life when he returns to the private space. It is not difficult to see from his photographs and works that this is a sports maniac. He said that for him, music and sports are indispensable parts of life, but also the most important two parts, when the work pressure is high, he will choose these two ways to decompress himself, play the piano, play ball, fitness, both to cultivate sentiment, exercise, but also to find their best state, kill two birds with one stone.
In addition to these, he will also choose to travel, like some relatively exciting sports, let himself return to nature to experience the fast or slow pace of life, and sometimes choose hiking, self-driving travel, to do some experimental travel.
Q: Do you choose to travel when you are resting, and are there any interesting things to share?
a: "I love diving, so I travel to some islands a lot, and in that environment I can live a slower life." But sometimes I also choose some exciting ways, such as skiing, if we want to go snowboarding, we will climb to the top of a high mountain with our skis on our backs and then slide down. I also sometimes like to go on foot by myself, or drive into Tibet by car, to places that the average tourist wouldn't get to, and I'm willing to do some of these tentative trips. ”
These rich experiences in life are also a kind of wealth for actors, if you can perform more urban dramas and costume dramas in the future, you may be able to better reflect the advantages of Zhang Ningjiang. Of course, if such an actor with acting skills and strength appears on the movie screen, he can use the unique rhythm of the movie to interpret the characters with a richer and more layered personality, and I believe that such a challenge is more in line with Zhang Ningjiang's current ideas.
Zhang Ningjiang has always followed his own creed and acted well in every play, Zhang Ningjiang has used his more than ten years of acting career to transform himself from a sunny student, from acting to life, and successfully tempering into a "wolf tough guy". It is precisely because of this, in the era of small fresh meat everywhere, Zhang Ningjiang, a "wolf tough guy" with his own temperament, can become a good son-in-law standard candidate in the eyes of the mother-level audience.
