On the day of the interview, Wang Runze was in Jilin to receive ski training before entering the new drama group. After coming down from the slopes, he excitedly talked about his feelings: as a southerner who is afraid of the cold, this is his first encounter with skiing. "It's fun just to listen to the coach explain the movements, and for me, learning from 0 to 1 is a lot of fun. ”Constant learning seems to have become the norm in Wang Runze's life。Since he was seen by the public as an auditor in the variety show "First Grade: Graduation Season" in 2016, he has been like a sponge, almost greedily absorbing nutrients from the outside.

From the most basic voice table of the actors, to rowing, painting, billiards, skiing ......has been in the industry for 7 years, and almost every year Wang Runze has been learning new skills for the role and internalizing it into his own experience. Perhaps because of the pressure brought about by his non-professional background, whenever he talks about acting, Wang Runze always inadvertently reveals a subtle sense of urgency. But in life, Wang Runze seems particularly relaxed: as a sensitive and delicate INFP, he is willing to record all the momentary feelings in life, hoping that he can "softly catch big and small things"; In the Vanity Fair of the entertainment industry, as long as there is any gap in work,He would immediately fly back to his hometown to accompany his grandparents
A few days after the interview, during the Lantern Festival, Wang Runze rushed back to Huainan, Anhui Province from Jilin.

In the past few years, Wang Runze can only be regarded as tepid in his own small circle. But recently, after the TV series "In the Blizzard", "Dear Friend", and the variety show "All Acceleration Battle Season" were broadcast, Wang Runze finally began to become a "somewhat familiar" existence in the eyes of the audience. For artists, this seems to be a good time to "strike while the iron is hot". But when asked what his next goal was, Wang Runze thought about it seriously and said: ".I hope my family is healthy and safe
lucky".
Wang Runze's interest in acting began as a child. When he was in elementary school, his father rented a library card for Wang Runze in the children's library. The stories of those little ants pushing peas and small animals racing were deeply remembered by Wang Runze, and became his best performance material in the weekly class meeting. At that time, Wang Runze, who tasted the sweetness, fantasized about his future, "Maybe I can play something in the future." It's just that the kid who once proudly staged a gorilla at the class party probably wouldn't have thought that his real screen debut was a documentary about repeaters.

In 2014, when Wang Runze was repeating his studies at Maotanchang Middle School in Lu'an, Anhui Province, he accidentally became one of the protagonists of "My Documentary: Reading Alongside". In the camera, the 78-year-old grandmother knelt down in front of the sacred tree at the entrance of the village, praying that her grandson Wang Runze could be successfully admitted to the university. It was also at that time that people learned about his past for the first time in his grandmother's intermittent narration: because of the family's poverty, his parents divorced when he was 8 months old, Wang Runze was brought up by his grandmother since he was a child, and when he was a child, he was malnourished because he had been eating gnocchi, and he couldn't even grow hair. For Wang Runze, grandma always feels indebted. But recalling his past, Wang Runze always understands himself".I grew up in love
Today's Wang Runze and his family.

In the first year of the college entrance examination, Wang Runze was in a rebellious period, and the final college entrance examination score was still more than 70 points away from the three books. He locked himself in his room and cried all day, then offered to repeat it. The family's financial conditions were not good, but his grandmother and father were very supportive of his decision. Repeating requires a tuition fee of 45,000 yuan, and my father went to raise money without saying a word; In addition to taking care of Wang Runze's three meals a day, grandma also washed other people's clothes, washed dishes, and even picked up rags to save money to subsidize the family. Once,Runze's father rode a bicycle more than 100 kilometers from home to visit school。After meeting, Wang Runze only blamed himself in his heart, "I broke their hearts, and they still support me as always." ”

With the love of his family, Wang Runze held back his strength and was admitted to university. When choosing a major, in order to alleviate the financial burden of his family more quickly, Wang Runze, who has a dream of acting, chose a financial major that is recognized by the public as a good employment. Two years later, Wang Runze suddenly got a chance to realize his dream, he successfully participated in the recording of the variety show "First Grade: Graduation Season", and then officially embarked on the road of actor. was selected among thousands of registered contestants and successfully debuted, Wang Runze was undoubtedly lucky, but he didn't seem to be so lucky. When Wang Runze first arrived at Maotanchang, because of his poor foundation, no matter how hard he tried, he was counted down in various mock exams. And after entering the industry, the situation he faced seemed to be similar - as a non-professional student, Wang Runze seemed to beAlways chasing others, but the results are not too obvious

Other students have been able to walk steadily, but Wang Runze is still correcting his posture; Before the performance, "I have to practice my shoulders to crush it", but in the end, I still got the lowest score. After work, the former classmates have gradually become famous, but they can still only be tepid in a small circle. But it is precisely because of the hard-won opportunity that Wang Runze loves and cherishes all the roles he gets. When someone compliments him on his efforts, he will even be a little evasive. In his view, "hard work" is not a talking point worth mentioning. “Most people work hard, and I'm more lucky than them. To do this, doing my best to do the job at hand at 110% is already all I can do. ” 02
Be worthy of others, be worthy of yourself.
Perhaps it was the rebellion in the past that made him go through too many detours, and now Wang Runze seems to be particularly afraid of indebting the people around him. During the interview, he repeatedly stressed that he wanted to".Be worthy of others”。Whenever Wang Runze is seen in stages, his life experience will always be taken out for discussion. While netizens feel sorry for him, they will jokingly call him "the only actor in domestic entertainment who can accept bad movies".

Wang Runze and his family are not averse to these discussions, "After all, this is my daily life, and we can't influence other people's opinions." He thanked the audience from the bottom of his heart for their tolerance and anticipation, but the pressure also came with it. Because he is not from an acting class, Wang Runze sees the first 4 years of his work as a learning process in the "social performance university". "But when I joined the crew, I entered the 'workplace'. The 'workplace' is not for me to learn, but for me to provide valueI want to be worthy of other people's expectations. When he was not in the group, Wang Runze also maintained such a "workplace mentality". He is one of the rare artists who will bring a computer with him when he goes out, whether he is writing a biography or docking with colleagues, he can take out his computer and start working anytime and anywhere. When participating in activities in foreign countries, although his spoken English is not very fluent, Wang Runze will still take the initiative to help the team communicate with the outside world and solve problems; In order to promote his new drama, he will also muster up the courage to distribute flyers near the school.

Sometimes colleagues are also in a trance: "Although he has never worked, his temperament is really like a 'social animal' who works together." "People in the workplace will continue to improve themselves in their spare time, and Wang Runze can always find a way to get along with each role. Compared to the use of performance techniques, Wang Runze's method is to "believe from the heart". In the TV series "The Bottom Line", Wang Runze played Lei Xingyu, who fought back against manslaughter because of his mother's humiliation and anger. This role is very unfamiliar to him, and he can only watch dozens of hours of video materials of the trial scene of the case, and carefully figure out the state of the character.

In the past few years, several characters have the plot of running a takeaway, in order to understand the psychology of the delivery personWang Runze honestly tried to run takeout for a few days"The moment I saw Shan being robbed, I felt like the world had collapsed. In the gap between filming in 2023, Wang Runze also signed up for the Shanghai Half Marathon. He recorded the whole experience, hoping that in the future, he would have a marathon runner-like role and be able to dispatch these experiences out of his head.

Wang Runze's "workplace hardship period" is also a lot, "I go to see five groups a week."It's a norm for each to be rejectedFortunately, at each stage, he will always be infected and inspired by different seniors. Once met his favorite actor Zhang Yu in the rest area of the airport, Wang Runze hesitated for a long time and still stepped forward to say hello. "I said that I like your work very much, and he also talked back to me a few words, and this moment made me feel full of strength at once, and I decided to continue on this path like him. During this year's Spring Festival, Wang Runze watched "Hot and Hot". Director Jia Ling's memo in the final easter egg of the film made him excited. "Teacher Jia Ling has put so much effort into the role, and I think it's really amazing that she has so much focus and perseverance. ”Firmness, perseverance, sincerityThese are the words that Wang Runze most often mentions when describing his idols, and these keywords seem to have become the most indispensable part of him. In "Dear Friend", the audience saw Guan Jian played by Wang Runze moving forward for the person he liked, and summarized him as a "pure love warrior". But Wang Runze believes that for the sake of the heroine, being able to confront the outside world without hesitation, and taking responsibility for his own decisions, "firmness" is the most important trait that attracts him to this role.

On the way to becoming an actor, I have my own rhythm.
The total number of roles played is not small, and the second male who "can't be loved" is Wang Runze's most played role. Wang Runze himself also quipped, "I always play the 'rival brother'." I asked him if he was worried about becoming homogeneous in the audience's impression. Wang Runze shook his head, "It's not easy to hand over every book to me." ”WhileIt would also be a good thing if you can play every "rival brother" well and gain recognition。Coincidentally, Wang Runze can always find his shadow at a certain stage under the framework of this "affectionate and warm man". Lin Kaifeng in "The Little Thing of First Love" is arrogant and rebellious, like his high school days. "I know in my heart that adults are for my good, but I still have to play a bad boy for the sake of the so-called 'self-esteem'. Li Qingyan in "In the Blizzard" is not very expressive, "lives very well", and digests a lot of negative emotions by himself. Just like me when I first started in the industry, I am cautious and orderly, rarely talking loudly, and my back is always tense when I walk.

The 18-year-old Guan Jian in "Dear Friend" has a sense of confusion because he doesn't know where to go because of the art exam. WhileAt the time of filming, 29-year-old Wang Runze also began to consider going to graduate school in the midst of his difficulties about the future。Although he still didn't take the exam in the end, during that time, he felt as if he was in one with Guan Jian. At the end of 2023, Wang Runze will officially enter the age of 30. Although he debuted early, in recent years, Wang Runze has slowly begun to be seen. He also had some age anxiety at first. But when he was really facing himself at the age of 30, he seemed to be at peace, "suddenly he became less internal friction and less anxious." I wondered how this change had happened, and he laughed, "Maybe it's just getting old." He talks about his road trip in Ulanqab and the starry sky he saw next to the campfire. "Between heaven and earth,I don't know what my future holds, I can only feel the presentAnd my present is something I couldn't have imagined in the past. ”

He also used his own experience of running a marathon as an example, some runners with a good foundation can finish the race in 1 hour, while his pace is more than 6 minutes per kilometer, and it takes 2 hours to run. “No way, that's not my rhythm。My physical strength is so much, even if I try to replenish the energy bar, the energy transformation time will not be able to catch up. But no matter how slow you run, you can always finish the whole distance. When the reporter tried to describe his choice with the term "Buddhism", Wang Runze expressed the opposite opinion for the first time. Because in the matter of acting, he always has his own pursuits. The most basic requirement for himself is to be "worthy of the audience", at least in the part of figuring out his role and works, and not being Buddhist.

Compared to setting the goal of "Buddhahood" or "non-Buddhism".Wang Runze prefers to focus on the things at hand。"When the opportunity comes, I will definitely do my best, there is nothing to lose anyway, I am all in. But when he is not filming, Wang Runze prefers to go home to watch dramas with his grandparents, go downstairs for a walk, and occasionally record some interesting little ** for them. After I turn 30, I probably don't have 'things to do'. "But I will find my own rhythm and try to keep going in the industry." Author Shepherd.
