After the broadcast of "Annual Comedy Competition" (hereinafter referred to as "Yixi"), actor Shi Ce's name became more known. Her life has changed a lot, there are more people looking for her to film, and the interview is easier to pass than before. The praise that came in a flood was like saying to Shi Ce: "On the road of acting, it seems that you can." In the face of these, Shi Ce was not complacent, nor was he surprised. She said that at that time, she hoped that there would be more opportunities and more acting. For her, being a good actress is "a more responsible part of her whole life". If you want to say that there is any difference in mentality, Shi Ce feels that he has a heavy "burden", "I am afraid that if I take on a scene, if I don't act well, I will be beaten back to my original shape all of a sudden, and I will encounter the 'Waterloo' of my career." She knows that the performance of a film and television drama is often affected by many factors, and what she can grasp is only the process of creating the character. In the days when "Yixi" had just ended, Shi Ce was exposed to more scripted comedies. When she was hollowed out by comedy and felt that "there were not many humor cells left in her body", she wanted to try to participate in the drama and create a new role and future for herself. At this time, she saw the script of "Black Soil Without Words". This drama tells the story of a vicious crime case in Lanhe, a small city in the northeast, and the captain of the local criminal police team investigates and chases the murderer. 
(Picture "Black Soil Without Words").The first time I read it, because "the writing is too detailed, and even the environment is explained very clearly, for example, how thick the snow is and what the sky is like", compared with the script that focuses on showing dialogue, Shi Ce's sense of substitution is slightly weaker. She was patient and read a few pages a day, and these descriptions soon pulled her back to the Northeast. Later, Shi Ce learned that the series was filmed in her hometown of Mudanjiang, and became more interested: "Playing people from other regions may be a little flustered and afraid that they won't be able to do it well, but when it comes to the Northeast, I am a person there, so I don't have much burden." ”
In another way,Re-arriving at homeShi Ce left Mudanjiang at the age of 12. Since then, she has only returned to her hometown during the Chinese New Year and between acting. She never thought that she could return to her hometown to film. In her impression, there are not many dramas that use Mudanjiang as a filming location, and there are even fewer themes like "Black Soil Without Words", which is set in the 90s of the 20th century and tells a suspenseful story. At first, Shi Ce was puzzled, but when the crew went to the surrounding counties to film, she immediately felt "right". Through drama and roles, she returns to her familiar childhood and takes the opportunity to re-examine the land. She said: "Because I was too familiar, I didn't really feel my hometown, but this time I sat in front of the monitor and looked at the places I stayed in when I was a child, like the People's Park, which is very beautiful, thanks to the art of the lens." During the three months of the crew, Shi Ce went home every day to live. After wandering outside for a long time, her parents reached a tacit understanding with her, "I don't talk about anything on the scene, at most ask 'Have you memorized the words?'" Shi Ce replied "no" with a smile, and his parents understood that the child had a bottom in his heart. In "Black Soil Without Words", Shi Ce plays a female criminal policeman. Previously, she played a police officer, and she experienced police life with the police for a week in Duyun, Guizhou, so as to observe certain solid traits in the police, such as emotional stability and strong execution. 
(Picture "Black Soil Without Words").This time when she returned to the Northeast, she talked with the old policeman again and gained a new understanding of this profession: "In three or four sentences, they can make people laugh without feeling that they are being funny." Shi Ce realized that there was a more three-dimensional aspect to the police beyond the stereotype, "If you add some humor to the sense of honor of this profession, it will make people feel that the character is particularly attractive." "This is what Shi Ce is good at. When the original script was a little dull, she took the initiative to discuss with the director if she could add some joyful content. As a result, the image of Zhou Qi, who loves to interrupt and intimidate people, and is almost harsh on his work, has been portrayed in "Black Soil Without Words". Douban netizens' evaluation of her is "Shi Ce's performance this time is a bit straight and a bit of a tiger". Shi Ce feels that the policewoman is a type of person who is difficult to present after all, "Especially for people like Zhou Qi in the play, she will have an aura on her, she is already a shooting champion at a young age, and her thinking is very meticulous, but I want to show that she also has a side of character flaws, which is also to make everyone remember this role." In addition to his own enlightenment, Shi Ce will also learn from the "old drama bones". In the play, although she and actor Hu Jun don't play much, they have a deep impression in the limited number of scenes. One of them was when Shi Ce went to Hu Jun to look for the murder weapon, and when he was filming, Hu Jun stopped it, pointing out that her gesture with the murder weapon was wrong. That made Shi Ce understand that a good actor is to pursue the ultimate accuracy in details. More often, Shi Ce is in the same frame as Chen Jianbin , who plays her **. This is the second time the two have collaborated, so Shi Ce has "a strong sense of security", and if there are doubts or uncomfortable places, she can always ask Chen Jianbin to say: "Our generation relies more on intuition in acting, and through continuous trial and error, we can reach a certain goal, and these predecessors will observe more life, and the experience they impart is the most valuable harvest for young actors." ”
A sense of humor and proportionIndispensableSince his debut, Shi Ce has always been labeled as a "comedian". She is well-known in "Yixi" and has always been influenced by this background.
She believes that comedy is an important spice, so she has always tried to add the right amount of comedy to her characters, but she also has deep concerns about it: "Because there is no threshold for comedy, everyone can participate, but if one day the audience sees my face and reflexively wants to laugh, then I can't go on like this." ”

Shi Ce's first contact with comedy dates back to the time when she was attached to ** Academy High School, but she felt that it was not a good attempt, because from beginning to end, "the audience's reaction was like a glass of warm water", and there was no sound during the whole process. Shi Ce was not satisfied with this, she wanted to have more interaction and collision, until she found the right state and feedback during a certain performance, "making the audience laugh" is her ideal state, and "when everyone laughs, I will also gain a sense of achievement". This sense of accomplishment continues into later in my career. After graduating from college, Shi Ce acted in stage plays, and he still added some jokes to them. At that time, everyone said that she was "very fun" and "quite happy". Shi Ce feels very good, she likes this kind of evaluation, compared to others bluntly praising an actor as "really good", "funny" is a proprietary label that Shi Ce put on himself. Shi Ce said that after making the audience happy, they can really remember you, which is very important for the actors. For her, acting in comedy has naturally become a comfort zone that continues to receive positive feedback. During that time, she first played a few characters with a sense of joy, and then went to create the role of the main drama. The experience of switching back and forth also made her more comfortable in controlling her acting skills. She also asked herself where this sense of humor came from. What is certain is that part of it is the natural advantage of Northeast people, "Mom and Dad are very humorous, and they are used to using jokes to resolve some emotional problems, which has a great influence on me." ”

In addition to the reasons of geography and family of origin, her experience also feeds on humor. At the age of 12, Shi Ce left home alone to go to school in Beijing. When talking to outsiders, she is afraid of offending people, "Sometimes if I accidentally say the wrong thing, the other party won't play with me, so I will choose to communicate with people in a soft way." She has come to understand the need to combine a sense of proportion with a sense of humor, "without one of the two, it will be counterproductive." When mentioning the sense of proportion, Shi Ce talked about her recently launched new drama "Dog Leftover Run" - which is also the main drama she came into contact with after "Yixi". At first, she didn't like this role very much, but she wanted to challenge the period drama, so she began to think about how to act so as not to bored the audience. After thinking about it, Shi Ce's solution was still to add a bit of funny elements to the character, "thinking about her mischievous and making her seem more eccentric......Let her become the kind of girl who doesn't hold grudges, take two glasses of water as an example, everyone else starts to heat up from 0 degrees Celsius, and she comes up to 100 degrees Celsius. I think there will be such people in my life. Even when the roles are relatively fixed and there is not much room to play, Shi Ce is still willing to think about how to present these characters more fully, use his own sense of humor to fill in the thin settings of the characters in the main drama, and control the sense of proportion of the characters' expression. She said: "But I don't have enough ability now, and my experience is like this, so I can only try my best to act, and I am still a little worried about the final result, and I am not sure if I have mastered this measure." ”
Not satisfied with the undertones of comedyBefore coming into contact with film and television dramas, Shi Ce acted in many stage plays. Until now, "sometimes I still dream about stage accidents, and suddenly I forget words." In the year of the college entrance examination, she was determined to be an actress, and she planned to apply for the acting major. But by mistake, she entered the ** drama professional stage drama direction of Beijing Dance Academy. Compared to her peers, she was lucky enough. By the time he graduated, he usually didn't get any work, but Shi Ce's participation in the plays "was performed one after another, and sometimes he even rehearsed one play during the day and performed another at night." In the past two or three years, she has accumulated more than 20 stage plays. She always felt "scared to pee" at the beginning, and gradually changed to "no nervousness at all" later. For someone who "can't even ride a roller coaster", this is an extremely effective workout. 
(Photo courtesy of the interviewee).Shi Ce said that when she was a freshman, she doubted her choice, "singing, dancing, acting, you have to know everything", and she didn't seem to focus on the path of being an actor. But it happened to be these basic skills that made her more and more determined that she could act, "Those skills are what actors need, including physical, and the years in dance academy helped me a lot." "As he became more experienced, Shi Ce couldn't find much novelty in the field of drama. Around that time, she met some actors who were filming. That group of people often said that "people who act in stage plays can't make films". Shi Ce didn't believe it: "It's obviously all performances, how can there be such a big difference." So, with the attitude of trying it out, Shi Ce interviewed a few crews, but most of them were never heard from again. She analyzed the reasons for her failure and felt that as a film and television actor, she might be a little fat, so she started **, and then went to audition after the end, but the result was almost the same as before. In the first two years, Shi Ce could occasionally enter the crew and play a less important role. Later, she couldn't figure out why she didn't even have the opportunity to interview. She said: "Fortunately, I had the foundation of the two years of acting in dramas, and many people thought that I was good at acting at that time, and this motivation supported me to move forward." On the one hand, she repeatedly made such conversations with herself, and on the other hand, she also tried to switch to the show track, such as showing her face in variety shows such as "Paramount Tonight". The purpose of recording the show is to maintain her life, and in the face of "unlimited unsuccess", she is still unwilling to give up being an actress. In the days when she was "not good", she struggled, and when she was in a bad state, she told her agent in time that she hoped to audition after adjustment. "It has become the norm to stop for a while, and after a while, go to the interview like a chicken blood. In addition, she gave herself "speech therapy" and healed her heart by saying things like "I have to be confident". She said that at that time, she was repulsive about the topic of work, "No one should ask me, if you ask, we will talk about something else." 
(Photo courtesy of the interviewee).In 2021, Shi Ce participated in "Yixi", and the later story is very familiar to people, she was born from this comedy show and became a new star in film and television. As a result, she was given more opportunities and challenges. Comedy is her undertone, but she's not content with that. She still does her homework and examines herself from time to time. In her spare time, she often looks back at classic films: "Some performances are not quite in line with the current environment, and we may not be able to absorb much from them, but through them, I can understand and think." From time to time, take out your previous works and re-watch them, and re-analyze the gains and losses: "Many actors don't like to do this, and they feel uncomfortable watching what they play, and they feel regretful." In Shi Ce's eyes, only in this way can we see the progress of ability and self-transformation, so that we will not be trapped in a fixed label and hinder our own growth: "They can reflect whether you are getting worse and worse, or stagnating, through them, I am willing to believe that I can get better and better, not to mention, all of this is the art of regret." I'm not afraid of that. ”
