"A program that obtains nutrients from the soil" "Only when you take root downward can you bloom upward." The unscripted improv reality show "Brilliant Garden" was recently launched. Actor Zhang Songwen's real life was put in front of the camera for the first time and fully documented. As Zhang Songwen himself said, "My life does not follow a script."
From bargaining with the flower seller, eating home-cooked shiraz with the villagers, discussing how sheep manure is fermented, to discussing performances with new and old friends, and even starting "no physical performances" anytime and anywhere, "Brilliant Garden" follows Zhang Songwen From a perspective, the actor's "spiritual world" is vividly and deeply displayed. Under the real and vivid picture of life, the true meaning of "performance and life" is gradually clarified - always maintain love and curiosity, take root in the fertile soil of life, and go among the people. .
"He is the most curious person I have ever seen, and he is very eager to explore everything." Zhang Songwen was evaluated in this way, and he himself once wrote: "You must cultivate your curiosity about the world" and "Be willing to If we embrace life, life will embrace us." In the show, Zhang Songwen's "curiosity" runs throughout. When he encounters a flock of sheep on the way to buy flowers, and is curious about the whereabouts of the sheep dung, he will temporarily change his itinerary, get off the car, chat with the villagers, and even visit the villagers' homes. Over time, Zhang Songwen learned about sheep dung and the lives of villagers, and gained sincere emotions between people.
These moments of actively embracing life not only appear in the program, but also accumulate in Zhang Songwen's "not seen for more than 20 years." Old friends Lin Jiachuan and Yiwei Yiwei "revealed" the past. Zhang Songwen met and became friends with the "plant god" because of his love for raising plants. He also became a forum moderator because he was curious about literature and entertainment, and even became a forum moderator. .
's profound understanding of life and meticulous observation have become the source of inspiration for Zhang Songwen's performance creation, and have also achieved many famous scenes such as "washing hands in the fish tank" and blurting out the Cantonese "tangtangshuishui". He is keen on raising plants and said, "Green plants growing in the city will not be blown down by strong winds only if they are connected to the land." For literary and art workers, this land is "life", and only the earth where life can take root is rooted. , can we bear fruitful fruits of literary and artistic creation. In addition, Zhang Songwen also specially set up the stage in "Brilliant Garden". In addition to "Garden Family" Zeng Shunxi, Ma Jiaqi and Jiang Peiyao of the Times Youth League, he also said that he would "find some new actors he knows and discuss performances together." People are looking forward to whether young literary and art workers can clarify the true meaning of "performance and life" here.
"I got along well with the villagers by giving them food to each other." "He is quite easy-going. He just wants to eat and chat with us." When the village chief and villagers of Xiaosu Village, Liqiao Town, Shunyi District, Beijing, talked about Zhang Songwen, it was like talking about their own neighbors. During the filming of "Brilliant Garden", we happened to encounter a wedding banquet in the village. Zhang Songwen would specially dress in red to attend banquets, and he would skillfully prepare dishes during the open-air banquet. He would chat with the villagers at the same table, "should you live in the east or west?" and "you should eat more." When asked by the program crew: "Is there any difference between (Zhang Songwen) and the TV series?" the village man said, "He wants to bring the TV series (character) here, who cares about him?"
It is not uncommon for Zhang Songwen to get along with the villagers in a "down-to-earth" manner. When purchasing new plants for "Brilliant Garden", I can not only discuss with the flower seller how to grow plants, but also unabashedly and skillfully bargain in front of the camera, "Can you please take less, I will buy more." After several bargaining "confrontations", the flower seller couldn't help but said: "Why are you so stingy?" Zhang Songwen also responded with a calm smile, "I am really stingy."
Whether it is eating at a rural open-air banquet, bargaining with the flower seller, or driving a three-wheel drive and greeting the landlord warmly at the door, he will apologize for carrying five kilograms of garlic to the house for weighing wheat... Just like Villagers said that Zhang Songwen separated the TV series from reality, and did not bring the characters into daily life, but into the interactions between people, which was "very good."When among the masses, literary and artistic creation can maintain vitality forever. Just like Zhang Song’s experience of planting plants, “You can see the lush branches and leaves, but what supports the lush branches and leaves is its root system.”
