A new shooting attempt, a moving storyline
Cover News: Compared with past works , this time you have a lot of scenes with animated characters, so what was the whole shooting process like?
Lan Yingying: In fact, this drama is very difficult. During the filming process, each scene requires actors to act at least three times: the first time is with a real actor; the second time is with a green cloth dog. , the photography teacher and I will memorize the movement of the dog; then the next step is to play with the air.
This difficulty is not only difficult for actors, but also for photographers. He had to focus in the air, he had to accurately remember the movement of the green dog, and he had to focus in the air. Then the actor's eyes have to locate the object in the air without a physical object. In fact, it is really difficult, so from a technical perspective, it is also a brand new attempt for me.
cover news: When we interviewed director Lu Ke before, he said that you were "Jiang Lu" in his heart. So how did you feel when you first saw this script?
Lan Yingying: When met the director and production team at that time, we really just talked about parents and children, and when we talked about farewell, I choked up countless times and couldn't speak anymore. Maybe Jiang Lu and I both have strong appearances, but our loved ones are always the weakest point in our hearts.
And when I met Director Lu Ke, I had actually read two drafts of this script in different periods, and I burst into tears every time I read it.It seemed that I had just finished participating in "Sister Lang". I also happened to experience the life of a singing and dancing singer, and then I received such a script. It was a coincidence. Maybe the director felt that Lan Yingying, who was behind the professional attributes, was very similar to Jiang Lu in the play. Like.
cover news: Since you have many similarities with this character, will it save a lot of energy when shooting?
Lan Yingying: does not consume too much of my energy, but every scene is a kind of external expenditure of mental energy. It is actually an internal thing, not what I call some energy consumption, but It was during the process of entering Jiang Lu's spiritual life that I sympathized with her heartache, just like a scar.
Lan Yingying: This filming is a healing journey
"Reading the script like a treasure hunt"
Cover news: I heard the director say that when on the set, he doesn't need to tell you too much about the scene, you just You can quickly enter the character's prescribed situation, so how do you usually analyze the character and get close to the character in the early stage?
Lan Yingying: An old artist once said: "Read the script thousands of times, and the meaning will appear by itself." In fact, you can only understand part of each character, and the rest requires you to hunt for it over and over again like a treasure hunt. Read this script, analyze the character's mentality in the few words of others, and every pause of this character, constantly feel life, truly experience this character and become him. Maybe there are some roles that you think I have done well now, but maybe in a few years, I may have new insights into the roles at that time. Of course, there may be things that I could have performed at that time, but that I have disappeared now. .
cover news: In the film, due to an accident, father Jiang Swan left his daughter Jiang Lu. Do you think Jiang Lu actually complained about her father?
Lan Yingying: must be there, because she is not sure whether she is loved, even though she firmly felt that her father loved her when she was young. But her father suddenly disappeared, disappeared suddenly without fulfilling his promise, and she may encounter various voices in the process of growing up, such as a child accidentally saying "Your father doesn't want you anymore", all of which When people were saying, "Your father doesn't want you anymore," Jiang Lu might have been shaken. She wasn't sure if she was loved, and she would definitely blame her father.
cover news: At the end of the film, there was a scene where Jiang Lu and his father Jiang Siwang parted ways on the rooftop. When it was screened, many viewers were moved. What do you think the character Jiang Lu went through psychologically in that scene? A change?
Lan Yingying: The scene in was filmed for about one or two nights, and it left a deep impression on me. For Jiang Lu, she may have thought it was a dream, but this dream was very real. She really saw her father again on the rooftop, and she was unwilling to wake up until it seemed that her father was really going to be taken away. , and then when she said "123 Then don't look back, hang yourself with a hook", she actually knew in her heart that her father was leaving, but what really made her relieved was what her father said, "No matter what, I love you, I I will protect you in another way. You have to believe that dad is always by your side."
cover news: Huang Ling also participated in "My Love from Wang Xing" this time. We know that you were in a variety show before. We have collaborated before, but in this drama your two characters are on opposite sides. How did you get along on the set?

"I am indeed lucky, but hard work must account for 99%"
Cover news: In the director's setting of the character, Jiang Lu is an Aries person, and you happen to be too Aries, so what do you think are the characteristics of your personality in dealing with things?
Lan Yingying: I think we all have our own logic and express our thoughts more straightforwardly. Even if sometimes we are different from others, we will not change ourselves to deliberately cater to others. We have a strong energy in us. Will stick to his own logic.
cover news: ’s past experience in drama performances, what impact has it had on your subsequent film and television performances?
Lan Yingying: I think the most important thing is to hone my character. People who don't know much about the crew may think that the filming is like the state everyone saw the scene in. But this is not the case. We film according to the scene, and each scene may have to be performed ten or even twenty times in different camera positions. It is a great test of the actor's patience and how to find something in each scene. The fresh feeling of taking the first shot. I think this may have been honed for me on the drama stage. Every time I clear myself appropriately, it becomes the same feeling as the first time.
cover news: Starting from your first debut work "Painting Wall", to participating in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and then to participating in many familiar works, do you think you have been lucky along the way?
Lan Yingying: I am very lucky. I think the most fortunate thing is that the two dramas I first acted in were relatively well-known. The greatest luck was that when I entered the industry, the team and teachers I met were all very, very professional and full of awe for this industry, so the people I met as soon as I entered the industry actually had a direct impact. My understanding of this industry and my standards for the actor's path, I feel, really gave me a very good head start.
cover news: What do you think is the proportion of "lucky" and "hard work" in the current industry situation?
Lan Yingying: I still think that hard work accounts for 99% and luck accounts for 1%. I always believe that even if a pie is going to fall from the sky, you have to make your head as big as the pie so that you can catch the pie. Everything is inspired by daily practice. Many times, the level of hard work is not enough to compete for talent. You must first prepare yourself, and then you can welcome the luck. Otherwise, even if the luck is always by your side, there is nothing you can do. Grab it.
