play, Zhang Mao has gained the trust of officials since he was a child, and has always accompanied him. Whether he is discussing matters in court or dealing with government affairs, Mao, as a servant, must be present. Even if he has no lines, he has to stand quietly. Aside. Zhang Mao, who is as gentle as jade and forbearing and restrained, was portrayed as a three-pointer by Ye Zuxin. Although he is a servant, he is steady and practical in his gestures.
Ye Zuxin debuted for 17 years, during which time, he was very popular because of the ten elder brothers in "Step by Step". But he didn't seem to follow the established path. Some netizens even asked on the Internet: Why is Ye Zuxin not popular anymore?
red or not red? It is no longer a problem for him, who is 36 years old. In an exclusive interview with the Red Star News reporter, Ye Zuxin said frankly that for a long time, he had been looking for silly and silly characters like the ten elder brother, which made him have to think about transformation, "If such a state continues If it continues, I think it’s a disaster for the actors."
Everyone has a "Qingpingle" in their hearts.
Different audiences will bring different voices and opinions
Red Star News: How do you interact with " The crew of "Qing Ping Le" became involved?
Ye Zuxin: The crew called me and said that there was a character who wanted me to play. Then I went to meet with the director, and actually talked for 20 minutes. I remember that the director first gave me the script for 5 episodes. I thought I was quite suitable for such a character, so I readily agreed. For actors, it is not easy to encounter such a good and well-founded script, and to have such a good director and such a good team.
Red Star News: Zhang Mao is the servant around Renzong, that is, the eunuch. Are there any worries about playing such a role?
Ye Zuxin : At the beginning, I was a little worried because I had never played the role of eunuch. Once I chatted with the director, he said don’t think too much. In fact, Zhang Mao is a normal person. You should act as a normal person. He has his own psychological changes, his own thinking, and his own emotions and desires. . After the chat, I slowly relaxed. I actually read the script first, and then I found the novel to read, and I checked some information about this character in history. This character is particularly interesting, forbearing, kind and wise, and his historical evaluation is also very positive. He has always been with the emperor and empress.
Red Star News: What kind of feelings do you think Zhang Mao has for the queen?
Ye Zuxin: He has his own affection for the queen, but it is more of a kind of companionship, guardianship, and protection. I hope she can live well and also hope that she can be with the person she really loves. , I think it is a kind of dedication. In fact, Mao has a deep love for the queen and the emperor. This love is not spoken out of his mouth, but stands silently in their shadows, silently guarding them and guarding their love.
Red Star News: This is your first time working with Noon Sunshine. How does it feel?
Ye Zuxin: is so happy and comfortable! For every actor, I hope to cooperate with such a crew. Working with them is so helpful to the actors, and it makes us particularly at ease. For example, when filming the street, everything we see, such as wontons, pastries, roast chicken, and fish, for example, everything is real. Our crew even raises a lot of cows and horses to pull carts. In terms of setting and clothing, it really restored the style of the entire Song Dynasty.
In addition, as long as the actor wants something, or is helpful to your performance, the director will do everything to satisfy you. We have etiquette guidance on site, always follow the group, and correct you anytime and anywhere. For example, in the posture of "Yi", who do you see and what kind of ceremony should you give? In other words, when you are expressing your lines, you will be told what happened at that time. I think the biggest gain of working with Noon is to make actors have a sense of pride in this profession, have a new understanding of actors, and how to be a good actor.
Red Star News: Since the broadcast of "Qing Ping Le", Douban scores have been decreasing. Many doubts think that the rhythm is too slow. What do you think of this sound?
Ye Zuxin: Every work of , I think there will be a different voice. Everyone has a "Qing Ping Le" in their hearts. Different audiences will bring different voices and different opinions. This shows that this drama has also received a lot of attention and many people are watching it. But in my eyes, regardless of the script, our creative process and the content presented now, I am very satisfied. I think this is a 90-point work. "Qing Ping Le" did not follow the audience's way of watching movies as before. Because now everyone likes to watch cool dramas, watching dramas that have strong plots and constantly give you a visual impact. "Qingpingle" is to let you calm down and feel it slowly, to taste the culture, the pictures and the actor's lines. You should not think that everything will stop at the end. In fact, the bottom is flowing underneath. It depends on whether you can calm down. Come and watch this play.
I have received some information myself. My friends said that they saw the show on the Internet, but after they actually contacted, they gave me the comment that the show is too good. There is a saying that I think is particularly good, that is, never use your ears to know someone. If you really want to say something different about this drama, then go watch this drama.
spent four or five years transforming
. The same state has continued to be a disaster for the actors.
Red Star News: It has been almost 10 years since "Step by Step Startling". It seems that you have not many works in the past few years?
Ye Zuxin: I myself have been seeking change in the past few years. This road must be full of thorns and thorns. It also needs to be taken step by step. In fact, after "Startling Every Step", everyone seems to think that I am suitable for that kind of silly, silly, and funny role. All the scenes that looked for me during that time were all like this. I was very happy at first, but slowly I realized why it was the same? Don't know what to do. It wasn't until halfway through that I made a war film called "Iron Is Burning". At that time, I regained my understanding of acting and felt "Oh, acting can be like this."
Red Star News: Does such a transformation feel worthwhile?
Ye Zuxin: is worth it. If that state continues, I think it will be a disaster for the actors, because that will kill your enthusiasm and creativity, which I think is quite terrible. I think the actor needs to absorb all the time, absorb like a sponge, and then wait until the right time to release himself.
actually still has a very real problem. I am now in my 30s. If I go to play those laughing and playing roles, I will definitely not perform as well as before, and I will not be able to perform as well as those who are in their 20s. Well, this is the reality that an actor must accept.
Red Star News: But the reality is that the film and television industry is updated very quickly, and you are likely to be surpassed by newcomers.
Ye Zuxin: actually requires a lot of determination. I spent about four to five years in this regard. There will be a lot of newcomers coming up at this time, which will indeed cause a lot of shock and pressure to yourself, which is inevitable. Fortunately, I think I am lucky. After so many years, I finally waited for "Qing Ping Le". I think this role is particularly good.
Red Star News: What are your thoughts on this matter now?
Ye Zuxin: let it go, nothing can be demanded. I think as an actor, what I care most about is how to meet a good character and a good script. In fact, these are complementary. When you encounter a good script, a good team, and a good role, when you perform it, naturally there will be a lot of audiences to feel your sincerity as an actor. There are more audiences to recognize you, which is the so-called red.
For actors, becoming popular is everyone's idea, because when you are known by more audiences, you can get in touch with more characters and more resources.
is a good actor, the three words are particularly heavy. The role of each period is the best
. Red Star News: How to treat the standard of a good actor?
Ye Zuxin: is a good actor, these three words are actually very heavy. Everyone has different judgment standards in their hearts, II feel that a good actor is a person who can act steadily and attentively.
Red Star News: Up to now, will the pressure of being an actor increase?
Ye Zuxin: Of course has pressure. In fact, the pressure of being an actor will always accompany you. Different periods have different pressures. When I first debuted before, there was no filming, so I was faced with the pressure of survival, and I needed to make money for filming. After I gradually got the works, there was pressure to choose which works and how to perform them well. Just like me, after the end of "Scary Step by Step", I have played the same type of role for several years. I feel tired and helpless. I really feel that I am hollowed out every morning. Know how to act.
Red Star News: I feel that your mentality is still very "Buddha".
Ye Zuxin: The actor is also a human, he also has his own ideas, he must have been frivolous when he was young. But slowly over time, it will naturally fall on the ground. This is the change that everyone is experiencing. But I think no matter when it is, I am the best self. Ten years ago, I felt that I was the best self at that time. Every role in the middle was the best in every period.
Red Star News: In the past few days, there have been a lot of news about artists, and many people are "eating melons." What do you think about the various privacy of artists being exposed to the public?
Ye Zuxin: There is no way for , there are gains and losses. When you get something, you will inevitably lose something. It's all fair. As long as we all have a good heart and a correct value and world outlook, you can not only influence yourself, but also more people. In fact, that is also a very proud thing. So, just like my lines in "Qingpingle": as long as you have one line and stand behind that line, I think there is nothing terrible.
Red Star News: What are you mainly working on during this epidemic?
Ye Zuxin: mainly stays at home with his family. In fact, my parents are very happy. Once when we were having dinner, my dad said that it has been more than 20 years since you went to school. We have never been together for so long. It's great to be at home every day, drinking a little wine and chatting with my dad. One of the feelings this gave me is that we, as children, are sometimes busy with work, but forget the feelings of family members at home. We should take more care and accompany them. But the actors are so contradictory. When they are not busy, it means they have no work. Only when they are busy can they have more works for everyone and let themselves move forward.
