Adapted from Ying Sixteen** "Who Do You Like at the Age of Seventeen", the youth inspirational drama "Love for a Long Time" starring Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng is being broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV's Happiness Theater, telling the story of a group of childhood sweethearts "little friends" who grow up with each other and regain their original intentions after experiencing separation and reunion.
In the play, the two leading actors both go back to the past and experience the beautiful green years. What would they do if they did go back to 18? In a recent interview, Yang Zi said: "I may learn to dance, learn a few more foreign languages, and have more skills!" Fan Chengcheng said: "I hope I am less confused and more determined." The future Fan Chengcheng is a hard-working actor and singer who is realizing his dream little by little. ”
Yang Zi: I don't have many regrets in my youth.
Envy the friendship of the "Hangtian City Six".
After the broadcast of "Love for a Long Time", the friendship of the "Hangtiancheng Six" touched many audiences. Growing up together, they gradually separated, and reunited inadvertently, becoming a strong stroke in each other's beautiful youth.
Talking about the role of Huang Yingzi, Yang Zi said: "What touches me most is her persistence in her dreams, her sincerity to her family and friends. Youth is short-lived, but this warmth can stay in the heart for a long time. What moved Yang Zi even more was the friendship of a group of "little friends" in the play. "It's really not easy for this small group to go from 6 to 30," she said. Most people may have a group of good friends in elementary school, junior high school, and high school, but after entering college and society, there may not be more contact. So, what struck me the most about this show is that some friendships are really eternal. When you're at your hardest, your friends will definitely step up to protect you. ”
However, the setting of "hair small" puts forward higher requirements for the actors' performances. "The six of us didn't know each other well at first, and the acting emotions were very tense, and when we were in the same frame, we didn't look like partners who grew up together. Yang Zi revealed that in order to get acquainted with friends as soon as possible, the "six-person group" will sit together and chat on the set as long as they have the opportunity, and will go out to play and have dinners, "Later, everyone's relationship is getting better and better, just like it's really small!" ”
I hope to give 18-year-olds a different answer.
In the eyes of many audiences, Huang Yingzi, who is enthusiastic, cheerful, and likes to play treasure in the play, is a "copy" of Yang Zi. In this regard, Yang Zi responded that Huang Yingzi before the age of 18 had a lot of overlap with herself in personality: "We are all the kind of girls who decide what we want to do and will continue to do it." We are brave, kind, fearless, and a little arrogant. ”
In the process of shaping Huang Yingzi, Yang Zi added a lot of thinking. "The director wants me to be a little more hilarious, but I think 18-year-olds can also be a bit reserved and can't generalize," she said. I sometimes have different opinions with the director, who respects the actors' feedback and gives them a lot of autonomy and room to play. ”
Yang Zi became famous at a young age, and a "Family with Children" made her a household name. After that, she completed her studies while filming, and every step was steady. From "Battle of Changsha" to "Ode to Joy", from "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost" to "Dear, Loved", from "The Rest of Your Life, Please Advise" to "Love for a Long Time" ......In recent years, she has used some popular roles to complete the transformation and breakthrough of her acting career. Looking back at the road of youth, Yang Zi said bluntly: "At least from the current point of view, I don't have too many regrets in my youth, I acted in a lot of plays I wanted to act, I was admitted to the ideal university, and I was very happy every day." ”
Fan Chengcheng: I regret that I didn't play basketball better.
Strive to find resonance with the post-90s.
Different from the traditional youth dramas with unilinear narratives, "Love for a Long Time" adopts a double-line crossover narrative, and the characters constantly "flashback" between the ages of 17 and 30, which poses a great challenge to the actors' acting skills. Fan Chengcheng said: "The age span of the characters is large, and the performance status is very different. For me, it's challenging to perform and grow. ”
The "Hangtiancheng Six" are all post-90s, and the story focuses on their high school life. So, how does the post-00s Fan Chengcheng perform the post-90s state? To this end, he did his homework before joining the group: "I communicated with my friends and staff, asking them about the food they loved to eat when they were young, the games they loved to play, the troubles of growing up, and the happy things. ”
In the play, Jiang Yi has silently liked Huang Yingzi since he was young, and he has not changed a bit until the year of his establishment. This simple liking touched many audiences. Fan Chengcheng analyzed: "Huang Yingzi's warm family is what Jiang Yi lacked in his childhood. Therefore, when he first arrived in Hangtian City, Jiang Yi felt the most special about Huang Yingzi, so much so that many years later, the person Jiang Yi cared about the most was still Huang Yingzi. However, rather than love, Fan Chengcheng prefers to regard the feelings of adolescence as ignorant heartbeat, "Talking about love in student days is a bit too profound, and the two of them are more inexplicably heartbeat, and they will unconsciously pay attention to and care."
Partnering with Yang Zi is stressful but happy.
"To Love for a Long Time" is Fan Chengcheng's first cooperation with Yang Zi. Talking about the feeling of playing for the first time, Fan Chengcheng said that happiness and pressure coexist. He revealed: "Yang Zi is a lively and cute little girl next door in private, and she is a 'talker' like me. We got along very well with the crew, we kept pumping out energy, amusing each other, and a lot of fun things happened every day. ”
At the same time, Yang Zi also put a lot of pressure on Fan Chengcheng. Fan Chengcheng said: "Yang Zi's acting skills are recognized by everyone as good, so I will have pressure to play with her, and I will continue to increase the pressure on myself, hoping to give her better emotional feedback, so as to make the two characters look more sparkling." ”
Fan Chengcheng is 24 years old. In 2018, after he debuted with the variety show "Idol Trainee", he quickly made efforts in the fields of singing and acting to gather popularity. Looking back at the road of youth, Fan Chengcheng's biggest regret is that he failed to play basketball better, "I am very envious of seeing young children playing basketball so well now." If I could go back to my youth, I would practice harder."
