Zhang Yi once revealed in an interview that every time he takes on a new role, he always measures the gap between himself and the character. If you're too far away, you won't dare to pick it up. Zhang Yi is very aware of his lack of confidence. "I make this mistake every time. I tell the director every time, I don't think I can do this. You chose the wrong person." Although he always needs persuasion and encouragement, he can still perform well. .
In 2004, he starred as the third male lead in "Migrant Workers". Director Kang Honglei noticed his lack of confidence, so he never scolded Zhang Yi on the set. If any problem does arise, Kang Honglei will communicate with Zhang Yi privately and not in front of others. And when Zhang Yi gives a wonderful performance, he will also encourage, "Don't be unconfident, you will become an actor, and a good actor."
Yan Ni will say every time after watching her work: "I'm sorry, I'm embarrassing myself." ." She felt that she was actually a little inferior and fragile. Although Yan Ni is relatively confused in daily life, she becomes particularly sensitive every time she acts. In her opinion, acting in comedy is more difficult than performing in general, because it requires empathy and understanding of the audience's feelings. Yan Ni revealed that she would not deliberately choose the appropriateness of her performance, no matter whether it was sad or happy, she would just interpret the emotional story with her heart. "If I am really talented, then this kind of perception in drama may be considered innate to me."
Director Shang Jing, who has worked with her many times, commented on Yan Ni: "She is the kind of director who doesn't understand the director even if she doesn't understand it." The intention can also be compared to the person who plays the role well."
When preparing for the filming of "Snail House", director Teng Huatao invited Wu Junmei to play Song Siming's wife. When the two met, Wu Junmei was more hesitant because she hadn't filmed a TV series for a long time. Teng Huatao comforted her, "I will film you how you make the movie." After getting the script, Wu Junmei studied it very carefully. By the time she joined the team, she had memorized everyone's lines.
But even so, Wu Junmei still gets nervous. She often asks Zhang Jiayi, Song Siming's actor, for advice, "Teacher Zhang, I can't do my lines well, you have to teach me." Zhang Jiayi told her that when he was studying at the Chinese Opera, he sometimes had trouble with his lines. If she passes, the TV series will have subtitles, so she doesn’t have to worry too much about her lines. He also encouraged Wu Junmei to be more confident in her performance, "You have a strong aura, just stand there and you will be successful."
