"I don't live my life to meet everyone's expectations, I want to be myself. This is not only Chu Zhijuan's voice in the TV series "If Running Is My Life", but also a true portrayal of actor Wang Ning's own life. Chu Zhijuan played by Wang Ning is a junior, although there are not many scenes, but she still makes her "black and red", who was originally a little transparent in internal entertainment. However, behind this popularity, we can see the thinking and self-consistency of a middle-aged actress. "Sister, you're really hot! ”
Since playing Chu Zhijuan in "If Running is My Life", Wang Ning, who has always been a little transparent in domestic entertainment, has suddenly received the attention of the whole network, but it is "black and red".
Speaking of which, she doesn't play many roles in the play, and she plays the role of a passerby, but every time she appears, she will bring a lot of shock to everyone.
For example, pulling a man's clothes and kissing him.
For example, playing "cream play" tease in bed.
For example, flirting in front of a special shelf in a supermarket.
If you didn't know the plot in advance, you still thought that these two people were acting in some kind of curious middle-aged Mary Sue idol drama, and they didn't have any urge to watch it. But everyone didn't expect it, this drama is a hit drama in Central 8.
Because Wang Ning's appearance, age and figure do not quite match the image of the junior in the audience's imagination, netizens rushed to work hard and developed a game of guessing the relationship by looking at the picture - who is the original partner and who is the junior.
Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of people guessed wrong.
Who would have thought that the original partner would be Zhong Chuxi.
The setting is curious, and the plot makes netizens cry out and shatter the three views, "The domestic drama has finally become something I don't recognize." ”
Crazy and crazy, many netizens who are really chasing the drama have entered the play, because of Wang Ning's appearance and age, there are not a few people who complain that she is "the third child eats tender grass".
even rose from the role to the actor himself, and made terrible personal attacks on Wang Ning, insulting her for "bringing money into the group" and "being as ugly as a yellow-faced woman".
I have to say that Wang Ning's acting skills are indeed good, but being scolded this time is really wronged.
It's not so easy to play Chu Zhijuan well. Wang Ning said in an interview. When reading the script, Wang Ning was very worried, this role was too controversial and would make her verbally attacked on the Internet, but after careful consideration, she still decided to play Chu Zhijuan. Because for a middle-aged actress who is not famous, it is rare to encounter such a role. "At my age, the characters I receive are generally mothers, and I don't usually meet characters like third parties, and Chu Zhijuan is a 40+ woman who is independent and single without a family, which is even more difficult to meet, it is the first time I have met such a particularly interesting character, and there is a lot of room for me to create a role. ”
Although there is a lot of room for shaping, it is not easy to perform brilliantly. Chu Zhijuan played by Wang Ning, although she worked hard as a manager in the bank and was independent and single, she sounds like a strong woman, but in reality she is a middle-aged woman who looks ordinary in appearance and personality. "It's not okay to have more of that kind of feeling that belongs to ordinary people in daily life, it seems too bland, and it's not good if it's less, and the audience won't feel the characteristics of the characters. And Wang Ning's wonderful performance made Chu Zhijuan, who did not appear much, one of the highlight roles in this play.
The line "I like cheese flavor" in the drama ** circle was accidentally thought of by Wang Ning when she was in the play.
The young and handsome Qin Feng said in an ambiguous tone, "What kind of flavor do you like?" There are strawberries, lemons, oranges. Dermal fillers? Which one do you want? ”
I thought I was teasing my girlfriend on the other end of the headphones, but the next second. Chu Zhijuan, who seemed to be a passerby behind her, suddenly turned her head, "I like the smell of cheese." ”
Qin Feng understood in seconds, looking left and right like a spy, and when he passed behind Chu Zhijuan, he reached out and pinched her buttocks, "Cheese flavor, why don't you go to heaven." ”
The background of this scene is special, the two have already had a relationship, but they have scruples in public, so they will wear a headset to communicate remotely in the supermarket.
The original script was Qin Feng who said a few fruit flavors, Wang Ning thought that this scene should add some joy, if you just pick one of these choices, the atmosphere will be flat, and the relationship between the characters can not be progressive in emotion and atmosphere, but there can be too many body movements, so the lines are particularly important.
She suddenly wanted to say something 'cheese-flavored', and everyone laughed when she walked around the scene. At that time, no one expected that this improvised line would become a hot stalk of the year.
The scene where Chu Zhijuan slapped herself was also Wang Ning's improvisation during on-site shooting.
In the script, it was originally only necessary for Qin Feng to sit beside her from the opposite side to comfort her, but Wang Ning confirmed that Chu Zhijuan should have a strong emotional outburst.
She conceived this picture of slapping herself, but did not propose to try it when she wanted to shoot, but the director was very surprised when the filming started, so this scene was only filmed and passed.
After the episode was broadcast, this slap scene also became Chu Zhijuan's highlight moment.
It's just that if you don't watch the interview and don't understand Wang Ning's deep thinking about the role, for Chu Zhijuan played by Wang Ning, many netizens seem to have a deep hatred and hatred, and begin to judge and humiliate her in an all-round way. In terms of age, the change of "little three" to "old three" can be regarded as ridicule. Because his body and appearance do not conform to the stereotype of Xiao San, some people even say that they can smell the "old man's smell" through the screen.
It would be fine if it was just to discuss the plot, but this abuse of the characters finally affected the actors outside the play. Some good things netizens think that Wang Ning, who is 40+, can play a junior, must have done a lot of unsightly things in reality or brought money into the group. In the face of fierce comments, Wang Ning has always treated it with a normal heart, and she thinks that it is good for this role to let everyone vent their emotions. She has no regrets about taking on the role of Chu Zhijuan, nor is she worried that she will be labeled in the future, the only thing that bothers her is that she is afraid of affecting her next acting.
Actually, this is not the first time Wang Ning has been scolded for her looks. In "Li Mi's Conjecture", she played Effie Fei and her current appearance is exactly the same, Wang Ning was complained that she was "ugly and good-looking", and was maliciously speculated that there was a backstage, not to mention, and was maliciously made up pornographic rumors.
When playing Peng Xinhua in the TV series "My Heart is Brilliant", because the role and appearance were unpleasant, netizens posted a long post to scold her, the words were unsightly, and even the director was innocently implicated.
Even if someone defends her, saying that she was beautiful when she was young. For example, in the first drama "Beijing-Hong Kong Love Line" filmed by partners Li Yapeng and Wu Qianlian, she was also a tall female artist like Zhong Chuxi, and she in the play is the male protagonist's first love Xing Jiani.
For example, in the 04 version of the drama "Rhino in Love" with Duan Yihong, the two of them just looked at the camera, which made people feel full of sexual tension.
But there are still many people who sneer, saying that "the four ordinary girls are all more beautiful than her". Wang Ning also had a moment of appearance anxiety, but instead of anxiety, she hoped that her role could give women some encouragement. "The beauty of women is not just external, but also the spirit and creativity from the inside out, and I hope to encourage middle-aged women working in the workplace to find value and meaning in their lives. ”
She empathizes with the plight of middle-aged women in the workplace, "It is not easy for middle-aged actresses. "When she was ready to make a comeback after giving birth, it was difficult for Wang Ning to get a job, Chu Zhijuan was her second role after giving birth, and the first one was the first chief in "Ask the Heart". In the days when there was no filming and no work for more than half a year, she posted on Weibo, "I miss the crew's lunch box like crazy." ”
Don't look at Wang Ning's lack of presence in the entertainment industry, there are only 5000+ fans on Weibo, in fact, she graduated from Chinese opera and had a lot of luck at the beginning, and the movie "Heaven and Earth" with Leung Jiahui was also an upset and was selected for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Before Zhang Ziyi and **, she was even the initial candidate for Yu Jiaolong, and she also trained Yu Jiaolong with illness for a month. It's just that Wang Ning's career luck has always been bad, and she missed this role for various reasons.
Wang Ning once wrote a heartfelt self-evaluation in her blog: "I don't look good, I say it's a little woman and a big man, I always live a life when I want to fall in love, I don't know how to change it when I'm tired, I don't fight when I should fight, I am secretly wronged when I shouldn't fight, and I'm a stupid big sister with dead eyes in all aspects." This may be the real reason for her poor career luck. In order to play a good show, she can play with her life at any time, and because she was too involved in hanging Weiya, she didn't even notice that Weiya steel wire was broken. She calls herself a "half-drama idiot", and she needs to go to the vegetable market every day to feel the fireworks in the world, and she is grounded one after another, "As long as you are a creator, you need to be rooted in life." ”
But when she needs to hype and promote herself on various occasions, she has an inexplicable sense of shame and stubbornly unwilling to change herself. Wang Ning admitted frankly that she also cares about "red", but she doesn't want to become popular in an extreme way, even if Chu Zhijuan may still fall silent in the future, she doesn't seem to be in a hurry. It doesn't matter if she can't play with the rules of the world, it is more important for her to maintain her idealistic nature and immerse herself in the present moment of life. "I don't admit that I'm stupid, I can't change when I say I'm stupid, I can use my brain to live, but I can't help but live with my heart, how tiring it is, but let it go, I just want to belong to myself. ”
It's just that no matter how good the acting skills are, some demanding netizens will always amplify the stereotype of the role because of the actor's appearance and age. In the past, most of the stereotypical images of the little three in domestic dramas were relatively single-faced, with the goal of becoming a positive and high-ranking position, and social resources could be replaced by their youth and beauty, so everyone hated them and regarded them as the source of "evil", and shouting and killing them seemed to have become a kind of political correctness. In fact, people are three-dimensional and complex, and the focus of film and television dramas is to shape characters and explore human nature. Chu Zhijuan's highlight is that she is not a female competitor, nor is she in love, but always faces her desires openly and maintains her independence.
When she officially met with Qin Feng's parents, in the face of the suppression and ridicule of her future mother-in-law, she was neither humble nor arrogant, "I will not let a woman who has nothing to do with me find fault with me for the sake of marriage for the rest of my life." I'm not another peace of mind. When she proposed to Qin Feng to break up, she spoke in a chic manner: "I live in this life, not to meet everyone's expectations, I want to be myself." ”
It's just that some netizens can only see Chu Zhijuan's appearance and age, scramble to compare the beauty of the original partner with her, and ridicule the scumbag for cheating on an ugly and old woman, but they never see her sober independence. On the other hand, the male junior, even if he is old and not outstanding, can easily capture the hearts of the audience, as is the case with Song Siming, who was always a father in "Snail House" in his early years. In the eyes of the audience, as a business elite, he is also a teacher and friend to seaweed, and his wealth and experience add to his charm.
It can be seen that people are still accustomed to linking the value of women with youth, beauty, figure, and fertility, which is essentially objectifying women and dividing them into three, six, nine and so on. Of course, Chu Zhijuan's behavior is indeed contemptible, but compared to the junior, in fact, what should be more condemned should be the man who violated the marriage contract, but their cheating motives often gain more understanding. In the play, Qin's mother complained about her son a second ago, "You are really hungry, you can eat anything." ”
The next second, she doted on her again, "There must be a place for my son to vent." ”
Even if they cheat, others always seem to consciously find countless reasons and excuses for them, but in fact, whether it is good looks, good character, emotional value or so-called physiological needs, they are just a fig leaf for packaging cheating. Therefore, the scumbag cheats, and it should not be the only one who bears the infamy. In addition, the external conditions of age, figure, and appearance should not be a reason to judge and ridicule any woman, let alone a shackle to objectify any woman. The most important thing is that the story belonging to Chu Zhijuan has ended, and those who have risen from the role to the malice towards the actress are really a kind of unwarranted disaster for Wang Ning, who bravely opens up and seriously interprets the role.
Fortunately, Wang Ning hopes that she can still be sincere in the face of her career and life, instead of caring about or struggling with the outside world's evaluation of her appearance or age. And her respect for the role and the audience is more worthy of being seen by the whole network.
