movie "Burning City" is the first Chinese-language film to focus on the "radiation disaster". Through a "doomsday rescue", it vividly demonstrates the complexity and brilliance of human nature. In "Burning City", the screen image of fire captain Madam Chan (陈美恩) moved the audience very much. In the face of disaster, Madam Chan shows the tenacity and courage of women in the new era. As a fire captain, she always puts the safety of citizens' lives as her top priority and has a strong sense of mission and responsibility. In the emotional line with her boyfriend and comrade Li Jiefeng, Madam Chan also showed a profound love. The two of them supported each other in times of crisis and grew up together. They had both the affection of life and death and the determination to shoulder the mission. Regardless of professional traits or emotional world, Wang Danni's delicate interpretation shows the unique charm of the character.

Transformed from a model to an actor, Wang Danni has given outstanding performances in "Anita Mui", "Vicious Lawyer" and "Burning City". She is called a "talented player" by many viewers, but in Wang Danni's view, the only way is to "work hard" It is the key to determine whether an actor can go further. She is grateful for her "fate" to become a professional actor, and through the stories of each character, she has enriched her life and better understood herself.

Recently, Wang Danni was interviewed by a reporter from Nandu. She shared with us the story of "Burning City" in front of and behind the scenes, and also talked about her feelings as an actor.

In the face of sudden disasters, firefighters stepped forward without hesitation to protect the lives of citizens. Madam Chan, played by Wang Danni, is the captain who leads this fire brigade. He is sassy, ​​courageous, and wise, and he is determined to move forward with his mission.

In order to interpret this "female firefighter" well, Wang Danni did a lot of data collection work before the official launch. Wang Danni found that "in Hong Kong, women do not actually account for many front-line firefighters," so she paid more attention to "how female firefighters work and how to overcome their work tasks from various aspects such as physical fitness."

In order to be "on par" with real firefighters, Wang Danni strictly demanded herself. She specially carried out physical training such as weight lifting, and spent one and a half months going to the fire station to learn front-line firefighting knowledge and skills. During the "internship", Wang Danni learned how to skillfully put on and take off the "golden suit" in a short period of time, how to use the oxygen bottle , and also formed muscle memory of the precise fire extinguishing angle of the fire hose, rescue and door-breaking skills, etc.

Somewhat coincidentally, one month before the movie was launched, Wang Danni also experienced a real rescue scene. "I happened to be walking on the street at that time and saw a fire in the restaurant on the second floor of a building. The fire truck had arrived at the building. At the door, I deliberately stayed at the scene to see how the firefighters quickly connected the fire hydrants, how to cooperate as a team, including how their fire captain worked at the scene, and how to express themselves. "

After the training and "personal experience", Wang Danni also learned these things. Accumulation and integration into madame On top of the role of chan.

What makes Wang Danni very emotional is that during the filming, the creative team behind "Burning City" used a large number of real-life shootings. The real situations and "explosion happening around them" made the actors more immersed in it, and experienced the fire brigade time and time again. After the "catastrophe of life and death", including Wang All the actors, including Dani, also have a deeper understanding of firefighting work. "In the rescue scenes, you can better understand the risks and tension caused by those crises. As an actor, it is only thrilling and exciting, but for real firefighting, members, far beyond these, you will truly feel that they are It’s not easy, and we hope everyone understands that this is really a very respectable profession.”

When creating characters, Wang Danni attaches great importance to the inner emotions of the characters. And hope to express it effectively to the audience.In the film, in addition to being an excellent firefighter, Madame Chan is also a character with rich layers. During the filming process, Wang Danni gradually found the fulcrum of the character through the analysis of the character and the collision with director Pan Yaoming, making Madame Chan's The image is more full and three-dimensional.

"Enthusiasm" is the first characteristic Wang Danni gave to Madame Chan. "As the only female firefighter and the captain, Madame Chan must have enough courage and sense of mission. Only with enough enthusiasm can she always stick to this goal." A career.”

On top of this, Wang Danni also hopes to highlight madame. Under Chan's leadership and majesty, she cares about everyone around her. "She is very caring for the people around her, so she should also have strong observation skills. I will try my best to reflect this during my performance." , She must observe the situation keenly at the scene and make immediate decisions. During daily training and rescue, she will also observe the situation of her partners at any time. "

And in madame. In Chan's story line, what touches the audience the most is the deep emotional bond between her and her comrade-in-arms and boyfriend Li Kit Feng. When depicting this emotional line, Wang Danni attached great importance to conveying the "ambivalent feeling" in this relationship. "They are both firefighters, a couple who share weal and woe, and comrades who support each other. Together they shoulder the mission to always protect the lives of the citizens." Life comes first, personal feelings will not be obvious between them, but the sense of responsibility will always be there. Affects their decision."

In "Burning City", there is a very touching scene between the two. Before Li Jiefeng, played by Bai Yu, carried out his final mission, he turned to Madam, played by Wang Danni, with the belief that he would die. Chan staged a "doomsday proposal", and when the disaster passed and people finally waited for dawn, Madam Chan did not wait for Li Kit Feng in the end. The scene where she went from depression to emotional collapse was called the most tear-jerking in "Burning City" by many viewers part.

"It still hurts when I think about it now, madam Chan has suffered the death and injury of many brothers. When some of her comrades returned safely, she was only happy for them for a moment, and then she was suddenly pulled into the extremely cruel reality. She learned that Li Jiefeng would never come back. At that time, I could I had a deep empathy with her, and this emotion impacted my heart. It was raining heavily at the time, which was very dramatic, and my tears blended with the rain. It was very painful to be together. During the filming, I felt that my heart was so painful that I couldn't bear it, and I couldn't stand still. I knelt down at that time, holding Li Jiefeng's ring and crying until I couldn't control it. You will think of her. The team saved the entire city, but at the same time she also lost everything she had."

Looking back on the filming process of this scene, Wang Dani is still "heartbroken" to this day, but truly "feeling" the character is how she interprets the character, "You need to feel the impact of this story and this character on you every moment. , then you can have a more delicate interpretation.”

Nandu Entertainment: How do you feel about working with Bai Yu this time?

Wang Danni: I think he is a very professional actor. Although we are both "i people" and did not communicate much at the beginning, everyone was willing to take the step to chat and relax, including Increase our team chemistry. So it was actually only a short period of time. Everyone was a bit shy and slow to warm up, but we quickly got along with each other. During breaks, we would chat, tell jokes, and sing. The atmosphere was very good. I also knew that he loved to eat noodles, so I bought all kinds of noodles. Treat him to some kind of meeting and open up some topics to enhance the relationship. After that, the cooperation went smoothly. Teacher Bai Yu is also a very experienced senior. It is very comfortable and stress-free to work with him. His performance is very delicate and thoughtful, so we can easily immerse ourselves in the character.

Nandu Entertainment: Among the actors you collaborated with this time, is there any one who made you feel good or impressed you deeply?

Wang Danni: Mr. Andy Lau, he is very nice and will buy some snacks for everyone to eat. He knew that we juniors would be a little shy and didn't know how to open up the topic. He would take the initiative to get a chair and sit among us. During the break, he would chat with us and tell funny jokes to heat up the atmosphere. He was very caring to us juniors. I remember one day, when they were chatting, I joined them, and there was no chair to sit on. He found a chair somewhere and put it next to him, and took the initiative to invite me to sit down. I thought he was very attentive, gentlemanly, and very polite. Heartwarming. And as a senior, he will share his experience and experience, and during the filming process, he will tell us how to get more involved in the movie. He is really a very good senior.

Nandu Entertainment: What information or concepts do you hope to convey to the audience through the story of "Burning City"?

Wang Danni: In fact, I hope girls can bravely pursue their dreams and set some goals to work hard to move forward. Just like Madame Chan is a female firefighter, she has to work harder to catch up with and surpass the level of boys in order to achieve this position.

In addition, for me, this movie also made me cherish what I have now and live more in the present. Because a lot of happiness is hard-won, and danger or crisis sometimes seems far away, but it can actually be very close. Just like "The Burning City", although this is a fictional story, it is also based on some realities. There were previous articles saying that a foreign reporter put a tracker on a batch of "foreign garbage" and tracked these Garbage is transported to Asia, and a considerable proportion of the garbage is transferred to Hong Kong, so some things are possible in reality. This is also the meaning behind the film. I am very grateful to Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang for his willingness to invest in filming such a work. Let us can see these contents.

Nandu Entertainment: What other work plans can you share next?

Wang Danni: I am also accepting a new challenge and am filming a comedy. Because comedies have very different interpretation methods and rhythms, I am studying hard. I am also very lucky to work with Mr. Louis Koo again. There are also many seniors such as Miss Gigi Leung who are working together for the first time. I have learned a lot from them and the cooperation is also very good. joy.
