"My ticket for the performance of "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" was purchased when the Nanjing Poly Grand Theater opened its tickets for the first time in 2021, and I waited until this year." Today (17th) afternoon, Zhang Xinyi and Jin Guangfa launched the drama "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" Pan Jinlian" was held in Nanjing. Zhang Xinyi was moved by a reader's speech. Unexpectedly, the Nanjing audience had been waiting for three years. During the interview, she said that the original author Liu Zhenyun praised the drama after watching it as "extraordinary in appearance and compelling in talent", and she also hopes to get praise from the Nanjing audience.

"I'm Not Pan Jinlian" is Zhang Xinyi's first drama after graduating from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama. The drama is adapted from Liu Zhenyun's novel of the same name, written by Chaplin and directed by Ding Yiteng. In the play, in order to prove that the previous divorce was fake and to prove that she is not "Pan Jinlian", the rural woman "Li Xuelian" played by Zhang Xinyi embarked on a long journey of 20 years of prosecution. During the interview, she said, "When I was in school, my dream was to be a drama actor. I dreamed of a beam of light shining on me. Now my dream has finally come true."

Interestingly, Zhang Xinyi's husband Yuan Hong also recently accepted the role. Regarding the topic of the couple returning to the stage, Zhang Xinyi said that they are very supportive of each other. They will watch excellent domestic and foreign drama works together, talk about each other's stage plays, and give each other some suggestions, but He never interferes with the other party's creation. "The stage is very nurturing and training for actors. If you want to stand firm on the stage, you need to hone it one scene at a time, day by day, paragraph by paragraph, sentence by sentence. For The requirements for actors are very high, so I will look forward to doing a good job on stage, so that I will be more confident and energetic when I return to film and television dramas."

It is reported that for the drama "I'm Not "Pan Jinlian", Zhang Xinyi's appearance and stage actions are very different from her previous film and television works.

If you look at the stills, you will find that she plays Li Xuelian, wearing a fat and rustic sweater and cotton trousers, pretending to be a peasant woman with a gray face and even gray hair. Beneath this appearance is the tenacity and energy that persists through vicissitudes of life and refuses to give up. In this regard, Zhang Xinyi said, "This is what I want" and such a look is "a must." "After Li Xuelian faked the divorce, she found that she could not control this man. She was also a rural woman with little education. At that time, she was not Maybe it's a very glamorous image. She did one thing for 20 years, and what everyone saw was a girl with a ponytail who had short hair that reached her ears, and then had gray hair. At this time, she was already 'bloody', but she was still Stick to your beliefs."

In "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", Li Xuelian faked a divorce from her husband Qin Yuhe in order to have a second child, but Qin Yuhe did it for real and soon married her new love, and also slandered Li Xuelian as a "Pan Jinlian". For twenty years, Li Xuelian has never let go of the divorce case with her ex-husband because no one would believe a word she said. When she reunited with her classmate Zhao Datou and was finally ready to let go of the past and fall in love for the second time, she was deceived and used by her lover again, which made her heartbroken and desperate.

Zhao Datou is played by the versatile artist Jin Guangfa. When interviewed by reporters, he praised Zhang Xinyi's physical fitness. This is a heroine's play. It takes two hours to perform on the stage, and she jumps up and down. All her clothes are soaked. Sweat dripped down. Zhang Xinyi also said, especially at the end when she grabbed the rotating stage and rotated it together, jumping up and rolling down, "The audience will think that this actress is a bit crazy. She has been tested from physical strength to energy, and she can still finish her angry lines in the end." Then I ran out. In fact, for me, it was to show the energy of Li Xuelian through me."

Despite this, Zhang Xinyi told reporters that this is a drama that everyone can understand, and it is a drama that can make people laugh from the beginning. The tragedy at the end, "And this drama is actually not that heavy. It doesn't make people feel obscure at all. It has a mixture of sadness and joy. In the drama, I beat the scumbag for 20 years (laughs). It is a very rare drama. "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" has been adapted into a movie, so it will inevitably be compared. In this regard, Zhang Xinyi said that the drama version has a completely different style and temperament.When adapting the work, the screenwriter not only retained the profound absurdity and precious female perspective of the original work, but also made bold innovations to create a dramatic image of "Pan Jinlian" and engage in a time-space dialogue with "Li Xuelian". The director also said that this is a story about a woman walking alone in the dimension of history, constantly proving who she is. It is a common topic among human beings. This is not only true of Li Xuelian, but also Antigone, Medea, Mu Gui Ying, Dou E... are also like this.

In addition, Zhang Xinyi also revealed that every time he tours a city, he hopes to add a little bit of the local dialect. The enthusiastic Nanjing locals at the scene taught her the phrase "Big head, what are you doing?", and she said she must use it during the performance. What excited Zhang Xinyi the most when she came to Nanjing was that she finally tasted the duck blood vermicelli soup that she had been craving for.
