The 12-episode criminal investigation drama "Black Soil Silence" directed by Zang Xichuan recently concluded. Jin Zhuhua, who only appeared in episode 8, is sloppily dressed and speaks Dalian dialect. At one time she is a crazy and ruthless female killer, and at another she is an enthusiastic northeastern lady.

The 26-year-old young actor Lin Xiao, who plays Jin Zhuhua, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Beijing News that Jin Zhuhua is the most unforgettable role she has ever played, and it is also a very highlight in her acting career. She didn't have any psychological burden about playing the role of a female killer, but she was always worried that she would be replaced if she didn't perform well. She could only try to figure out Jin Zhuhua's psychology more carefully and prepare the character's voice and form in more detail - find a coach to learn from it. Butterfly knife, strength training, and learning authentic dialect from an old lady in rural Dalian. "I am a very energetic girl. I have to grit my teeth to play Jin Zhuhua well!"
Pressure has made me the "female version of Li Toyota"
I am afraid of being replaced, so I have to grit my teeth to play Jin Zhuhua well!
"Black Soil Silence" is set in the quiet northeastern town of Lanhe. The police traced a bizarre murder case in which three people in the Hongqiao Group were killed, thus unveiling a "black soil" that spanned from 1990 to 2005. "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast". As a killer hired by the villain gang, Jin Zhuhua only appeared in episode 8 with unkempt appearance. She looks and talks like an ordinary northeastern rural woman, but she usually drinks a lot of psychotropic pills with wine, and a butterfly knife used to kill pigs makes her particularly handy. Her acting style is ruthless, crazy and cunning. She can stand up for a child who is bullied by an alcoholic father, she can cordially invite the aunt next door to her home, she can also kill someone without any expression on her back, and she can pretend to be a passerby calmly when she escapes. Give directions to the police...
Jin Zhuhua looks like an ordinary rural woman in Northeast China.
Lin Xiao has no psychological burden for playing the role of a villain. Her real pressure comes from the fierce competition among her peers for the role of Jin Zhuhua. The screenwriter portrayed the character of Jin Zhuhua in a full and complex way, attracting many actresses to audition. Lin Xiao clearly knows that there are many alternatives behind him, some are good at martial arts, some have filmed butterfly knife scenes before, and some have played villains before and have a certain fan base. "When I was filming the first few scenes of "Black Soil Silence," although no one told me, I thought that if it was edited out, people would think it really wouldn't work. I believe that in line with the attitude of being responsible for the entire film, I would be ready at any time. The risk of being replaced."
The huge pressure turned into motivation for performance. She could only prepare the role more carefully and try to figure out the character's psychology more carefully. In the hotel scene in the play, the inadvertent twitching of Jin Zhuhua's cheek became a reflection of her inner turmoil. This micro-expression was also caught and greatly praised by the audience. Lin Xiao said that the micro-expression was not intentional and she only noticed it after it was broadcast. When she was acting in this scene, she had completely "worn" Jin Zhuhua on her body. At that time, she and Jin Zhuhua were under too much mental pressure. They had such micro-expressions purely out of physiological instinct. I'm glad that they did. It fits the character. "What I was thinking at the time was that I had to grit my teeth and play Jin Zhuhua well, otherwise I would be replaced by someone else. This kind of ruthlessness is similar to Jin Zhuhua, and my ruthlessness in preparing for the role also made it possible. Jin Zhuhua's ruthlessness."
Lin Xiao's ruthlessness in preparing for the role also made Jin Zhuhua's ruthlessness possible.
Finding the form and spirit of Jinzhuhua
Learning the authentic Dalian dialect from the farmer grandmother who grows cherries
When Lin Xiao went to the set of "Black Soil Silence" for the first time to set her makeup, Jinzhuhua had a fair face and was wearing a tight leather jacket Leather pants are a cool and sassy look, completely different from the simple and down-to-earth rural women they are today.After the first final makeup was completed, almost all the main creators thought that the look was unconvincing, so they carried out a second modification. At the same time, they also further improved Jin Zhuhua's character biography - Jin Zhuhua's setting is a As a rural woman, domestic violence she suffered from childhood left her with severe mental trauma. When the farm was busy, she did farm work at home, and when there was no farm work, she went out to do murder to make money.
How can we get close to such a rural woman? Lin Xiao decided to start with the accent and appearance. The story of "Black Soil Silence" takes place in the Northeast, and the emergence of the Northeast dialect is natural. Lin Xiao is from Dalian. During the script reading stage, she used Dalian dialect and Northeastern dialect respectively for her lines. The unique intonation of Dalian dialect has a sense of joy, and it will form an interesting contrast when placed on the killer. This contrast exactly corresponds to Jin Zhuhua's character - she has unexpected qualities under her extremely simple appearance. He is cruel and ruthless. Although Dalian dialect is his hometown dialect, Lin Xiao, who was born in 1995, has basically spoken Mandarin since he was a child. He doesn’t know much about authentic Dalian dialect, especially the dialect in rural Dalian. For this purpose, she specially found an old woman who grew cherries in a local rural area in Dalian and asked her to record every line of Jin Zhuhua's lines into voice. She listened to each voice, became familiar with it, and imitated it to make her accent more authentic, and finally spoke it naturally in the play as Jin Zhuhua.
Jin Zhuhua's extremely simple appearance has an unexpected ruthlessness.
Jin Zhuhua's clothes are very "sloppy" (sloppy) and she often wipes her nose with her sleeves. Some netizens asked on the barrage if the snot is real? Lin Xiao smiled and replied, that must be true. "It was minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius in Mudanjiang during the filming. When I was emotional, my nose and tears would flow together. People like Jin Zhuhua would definitely not prepare tissues in their pockets to wipe their noses, so I just wiped them with my sleeves... "She recalled that during the three months of filming, whenever she went out, she would put on a Jinzhuhua turtleneck sweater and a green cotton-padded jacket. She would often not wash her hair or take a shower for three to five days. After the filming was completed, she changed into her daily clothes and planned to go to the set to say hello. As a result, the production manager didn't recognize her and stopped her. One morning before going to work, she wore this outfit and went to eat a bowl of noodles that cost 3 yuan. She planned to add meat for 6 yuan. The enthusiastic boss lady was worried that she would not finish the meal, so she politely persuaded her. "She meant that I would be full by adding more noodles, so that I could save some money. I was so touched that I didn't insist on adding more meat." In the eyes of the actor
, Jinzhuhua
is hateful and pathetic, which brings a profound impact to the actor. Influence
In "Black Soil Silence", there are many scenes showing Jin Zhuhua's ruthlessness and cunning, such as the scenes where she shoots Yan Hongqiao, deals with Wang Shan, and responds to police interrogation. But she also occasionally showed her gentle side as a woman - for example, she spared Chen Xiaoming when she killed Yan Hongqiao; for example, she smiled very enthusiastically when the neighbor aunt came to knock on the door, and she cordially invited her to come to her house for a meal. Dinner; another example is when she stood up for a little girl who suffered domestic violence in a hotel and pushed an alcoholic man who beat his child down the stairs; and before she was shot to death by the police, she called home from a public phone booth, hoping to hear the child call "Mom" ...and this is also Lin Xiao's most impressive scene in the whole play. "Jinzhuhua loves money and gold, so she named her child Cancan. It was also because her child embarked on this path of no return. She called her at the end of her life and wanted to hear Cancan call her mother again. "
Before Jin Zhuhua was shot to death by the police, the scene where Lin Xiao called her home at a public phone booth was the scene that left the deepest impression on Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao believes that human nature is good, and even the ruthless killer Jin Zhuhua has a soft side. Throughout the play, Jin Zhuhua shows a certain degree of sympathy towards the weak, including the little girl in the hotel. "Because she has had a very bad experience, she hopes that women with similar experiences will be treated kindly." After the broadcast of "Black Earth Silence", many netizens said that Jin Zhuhua is the "female version of Li Toyota". Lin Xiao, the reporter, has more sympathy for this character. She believed that Jinzhuhua was a tragic woman who was shrouded in the shadow of her unfortunate native family and tried to fight against fate but went astray."She is hateful, but she is actually even more pathetic. If she had not had those bad experiences in childhood, and if someone could have guided her to the right path, I think she would be a kind person and a good mother."
26-year-old Lin Xiao has acted in many film and television dramas before, such as the nurse at Jinyintan Hospital in "Chinese Doctor", the policeman Xiaoqiong in "Echo", the loyal butler who protects the Lord in "Nine Righteous People", etc. This time she starred in " "Black Soil Silence", she made the audience remember herself with her hard work in digging into the character and delicate presentation. She described Jin Zhuhua as the most unforgettable role she has ever played and the role that has had the most profound impact on her. It is also a very highlight in her acting career. "As a newcomer, no one knows you, so there won't be many people supporting you, so I can't let them down. I am such a girl who is very energetic and will tell myself that I must do it. If you perform well, you should think about this every day."
