When she learned that she was going to co-produce the movie "Panda Project" with Jackie Chan, Shi Ce could hardly believe her ears. She asked dubiously: "The Jackie Chan you are talking about is the Jackie Chan, right?" After receiving a positive reply, Afterwards, Shi Ce's heart was filled with surprise and anxiety. She was pleasantly surprised that she had the opportunity to work side by side with her childhood idol, but at the same time she was worried that her performance was not good enough and would hold back the crew and her idol.
The family-friendly movie "Panda Project" is currently in theaters. The film is directed by Zhang Luan and stars panda Hu Hu, Jackie Chan, Wei Xiang, Shi Ce, and Han Yanbo, with Jia Bing making a special appearance. The movie tells the story of the baby panda Huhu who has attracted attention from all walks of life since he was born as a "new star in the animal world".

The unexpected battle to seize the "treasure" is full of jokes. .
Fear of heights in life "The Panda Project" "The enemy" is the height
Shi Ce first emerged on the drama stage. With her outstanding performance in the "Annual Comedy Competition", she quickly became a well-known celebrity. Favorite comedian. Shi Ce told a Beijing Youth Daily reporter that he was able to star in "Panda Project" because of his encounter with director Zhang Luan at a film festival. "His impression of me was that of a comedy actress, and "Panda Project" happened to be a film Comedy, my age is similar to the character Su Xiaozhu in the film, so when he heard that he was going to collaborate with Jackie Chan, I felt it was so unexpected, so unexpected that it scared me. "
in "Panda". On the eve of the filming of "Plan", Shi Ce had a "two positives", which made her already full of surprises even more uneasy. After all, this movie is an action comedy. Although she plays the role of a panda keeper and does not have any fierce fighting scenes, it is undoubtedly a huge physical effort to escape with the panda Huhu. test. "This is physically strenuous work," Shi Ce said frankly, "so I'm a little worried that my physical condition can't keep up. I've never filmed an action scene before, nor have I experienced the taste of drag wire. I've always longed for something like this. It’s an experience, so I want to show my best in "Panda Project". "
Shi Ce is glad that it is his first time to make an action comedy, and he can work with such a professional Jackie Chan and the team of "Marriage Team". It gave me an unparalleled sense of security. From safety measures to every detail of the shooting, they would conduct multiple tests to ensure everything was correct before letting me go into battle. It was because of their attentiveness and professionalism that I was able to muster up the courage to boldly try every action."
Shi Ce joked that the biggest challenge he faced when filming "Panda Project" was not the action itself, but the action. "This time my 'enemy' is not the difficulty, but the height." Shi Ce revealed that he has always been afraid of heights. "Usually when I go to the amusement park, I am usually the one who looks after my friends' bags. I can only play on the merry-go-round. In the mall, I have to force myself to look up when riding in the elevator, and I don’t dare to look down. Maybe my fear of heights is not that serious, but I definitely feel it once I reach high altitudes. It's a bit disgusting and has a physiological reaction. "
In "Panda Project", there is a tense warehouse escape scene. Shi Ce faces a difficult task: she needs to avoid the enemy along a narrow beam that is only about 40 centimeters wide. , despite the protection of Wia, Shi Ce's heart was still full of fear, "I was too scared. When walking forward, because the road was narrow, I had to lower my head and look at my feet. They told me that the height was about five stories. The building is so high."
also has a breathtaking scene where Shi Ce is required to jump from a high place directly onto an inflatable panda mat.Shi Ce recalled that she shot that scene four times in total. “When I danced for the first time, tears came out of my eyes unconsciously. I needed to lie flat in the air during the filming, but usually, When we jump down, we always land on our feet first. In order to reach a flat position, I have to lean my body back hard. The first time I jumped down, I fell straight down and landed on my feet first. I was instructed to tilt my head back hard while I was in the air. When I tried for the second time, I followed the instructions, but I used too much force. As a result, I hit the ground head first and hit my neck. The pain made me unable to move for a while. I used a stand-in, but I thought, I have already danced twice. It would be too embarrassing if I had to use a stand-in for the third time. And it is such a rare opportunity, and I don’t want to leave regrets for myself by jumping for the fourth time. "The moment I passed it, I was so happy."
My experience of filming this movie was that it was very vivid.
Although the title is "Panda Project", because of the special nature of pandas as national treasures, during the filming of the film. There were no real panda actors. Shi Ce laughed and said that what he was holding in his hands was not a panda, but various props. "There is a blue doll that weighs about the same as a red panda. It is quite heavy to hold. I feel like two After taking the photo, the arm muscles seem to have become more developed. There is also a simulated version of the panda. Its paws and eyes are very realistic, about the same size, and it also has a real puppy. When I was running, I hugged the panda. The panda should be able to move, but the doll couldn't move. Therefore, the crew found a puppy instead. I felt that it would be more comfortable to play with the simulated panda because it was fluffy. "It's more like a panda, and I have that sense of space when I hold it."
In the movie "Panda Project", there is a line that is particularly hilarious. Su Xiaozhu said: "I am just an ordinary nursery worker, not a family class." "This line was actually added by Shi Ce impromptu during the filming process. She told reporters: "In this filming, the director gave the actors a lot of creative space, both in terms of action performance and language expression. They all have a lot of freedom, so my experience in filming this film is that it has a very strong sense of freshness, which also makes the whole filming process full of surprises and fun."
As he was filming "Panda Project", Shi Ce found himself. The passion for action movies was completely ignited. She said: "After filming this movie, I wanted to sign up to learn boxing. The fight scene in the family class was so exciting. Every time I filmed it, I felt like I was really in danger. I was so nervous that I felt like I was about to be knocked down. The fight scene in the family class was so exciting. There are also girls in the class, as well as foreign actresses. Their movements are full of power and beauty. They raise their legs and pump their fists. Their momentum and charm make words pale in comparison. I think action actors are too handsome and too beautiful. Cool. ”
Comedy can make the story more vivid and more attractive
People often have a stereotype about comedy actresses, thinking that beautiful actresses can’t act in comedies, but Shi Ce not only has a good-looking appearance, but also is outstanding. The comedy performance won the audience's love.
"I have never thought that I am good-looking," Shi Ce said with a smile, saying that she was very surprised when people commented that she was "good-looking." "No one had ever said to me, 'Shi Ce, you are so good-looking', until After participating in the "Annual Comedy Competition", I was surprised to hear someone compliment me on how good-looking I am. I think my appearance is just average. If you say I'm ugly, I definitely don't agree with it, but you have to. I really don’t think I’m good-looking, because I know very well what a really good-looking person looks like.”
However, since being praised for being good-looking, Shi Ce said that he has also begun to pay attention to his image, “What to wear and what to wear when going out. I will also think about makeup, and I still hope to leave a good impression on everyone. In fact, I think the charm of actors is diverse. Actresses can be humorous, elegant, cute, and charming. It can be quirky or taciturn but with a distinctive personality, no matter which type you are, as long as you can truly express yourself, that is the most beautiful."
Someone asked Shi Ce if she would mind if others said she was a comedian. Shi Ce's attitude was that she didn't mind, and Shi Ce liked comedy. She said that when she was a child, she could make people laugh when she spoke, "Anyway, I don't think I am annoying. . "
Shi Ce embarked on the path of "comedienne" because of a discovery she made during stage performances: if her character adds some humorous elements and the audience laughs, they will have a deeper impression of the character. “It makes the character more lovable to the audience, so I took a shortcut, so to speak. I think the audience may prefer characters with a sense of comedy, so I will try to add some comedy elements in later performances. "
But Shi Ce also realized that this requires the accumulation of time and experience, "In the beginning, the comedy elements I added did not always make the audience laugh, especially since we perform dramas every day. Sometimes, when the audience doesn't laugh at a certain place, I will think about where there may be a problem, my setting is wrong, or my rhythm is not accurate. She said that cultivating a "sense of joy" requires long-term accumulation and practice. "Perform more, try more, and feel more, so that your sensitivity to comedy elements will become higher and higher." "So, if you haven't acted in a comedy for a long time and suddenly act in it, Shi Ce said it will be difficult and "it may not work."
Shi Ce's love for comedy stems from two reasons: First, she feels that comedy can bring her Growth and gain, and the second is the audience’s love for comedy. She believes that although the element of comedy is not essential in a drama, it can definitely add a touch of color to the plot. “Comedy can make the whole story more vivid and attractive. people. Acting in comedy requires using your brain, constant thinking and practice. It's like singing high notes. You need long-term practice and use, the courage to say things that make people laugh, and the courage to come up with some novel methods. "
Shi Ce has her own experience in comedy creation. She believes that it is not complicated to grasp the degree of comedy. "The use of comedy needs to be determined according to the situation. If the comedy elements do not match the character's personality, even if the lines and actions themselves are funny, , should also be discarded. Because once you join in, it will make the audience feel like they are in trouble. Comedy is not a single form of performance, and drama is not a completely different kind of performance. The two only require some subtle adjustments and subtle handling of rhythm, but whether it is a comedy or a drama, the core of the performance must still be based on the character. "
Regarding his transition from the drama stage to film and television drama performances, Shi Ce said that it does require some subtle adjustments, but this is not difficult for experienced actors. "As long as you have certain work experience, you can figure out these adjustments. rules. Finding these patterns is not difficult, but doing them well is the challenge. I know I still have a long way to go to get to that level. Sometimes the crew comes to me and hopes that I can add some comedy to the character. At this time, I will try hard to think about how to do this. "
hopes that "Xi Ren" people will work together to create better works.
Shi Ce tends to play characters that are closer to life and full of joy. "I enjoy creating characters that make the audience believe that they really exist in real life, the kind of down-to-earth works. and characters that feel relatable and real. I have a strong interest in comedy and have even developed a creative habit now. No matter what role I play, I always think about whether I can add some interesting elements to make the character more vivid. "But at the same time, Shi Ce also expressed his desire to try new roles: "Actually, I am also looking forward to playing a role that has no sense of humor at all. It will definitely be a new experience.
Shi Ce said that he currently does not have a specific focus of work, but hopes to explore more possibilities, "I went to see a stage play a few days ago, which made me miss the stage very much and wanted to return to the stage." Performance. I am willing to try anything that can bring me growth and gain. If I can have more initiative in the future, I hope to take the initiative and do something I really want to do. Even if I create some small works, I feel very satisfied.I want to keep learning and trying to enrich my artistic path. "
The popularity of "Annual Comedy Competition" and "Happy Wonderful Night" has also attracted the attention of "Happy People". Shi Ce said that he has been following "Happy Wonderful Night" this year. "I originally planned to return to participate. The recording of a program, but unfortunately, due to the tight schedule of the crew I was working on at the time, I was unable to leave. I'm really eager to go back and record at least one episode because for me, being back there is like coming home. "
The movie "Big Scene" starring Wang Tianfang, Ma Xudong, Guan Yue, Teng Zhe, Lu Yan, Ye Liu, Zhang Youwei, Li Fei and many other "pleasants" is now being released. Shi Ce said that he had also attended the premiere of the movie before At the screening, "I really love this movie, and I felt particularly touched seeing them performing on the screen together. We have actually known each other for a long time, and we have worked hard together on the road of comedy. Seeing so many comedians gathered in one movie, I feel like we are all united to keep each other warm. When I act alone, I do feel lonely sometimes. I really hope we can come together again in the future to create a similar ensemble drama. With everyone working together, I believe we can create more new and interesting works. "
