"Want to say hello? Hello, netizens of Tencent Entertainment, I am Zhao Liying! " She took the initiative to pick up the receiver, said hello to the camera, and then turned her head to the reporter to show her trademark smile. Everything seems familiar and everything is under control.
It was an afternoon in July, the hottest day since the summer in Beijing. The air conditioner in the conference hall was accidentally broken, and people on and off the stage were sweating. Everyone hopes that the meeting will be over soon. On the other hand, Zhao is being interviewed and recorded. Every minute, he must stand up straight or sit still, keep smiling and show his professionalism, just like at the beginning of the article.
The 27-year-old girl contracted this summer file. "Flower" starring her is being broadcasted in Hunan Satellite TV Weekly Theater. Jiangsu Satellite TV's prime file is her "Come on Intern", which occupies an important time of two first-line TV stations at the same time in the summer file. Its role is ancient and modern, and its ratings are in the forefront, which is a sign of red.
Along with "red", there are many "black". Compared with actors of the same age, Zhao, who is not a professional, has a better chance to be excavated with a lot of "black history". These negatives have been accompanied by her popularity and become two sides of Zhao today. But she doesn't care about adding fuel to the fire. At the press conference that day, she even blew herself up drinking with her clients when she was an intern.
"When people reach a certain level, they won't care so much. I used to be afraid of this and that, but I think I am peaceful and in good shape now. I don't care about these things. " After nine years of debut, Lu Zhen, Shanshan, Hua and many other masterpieces can wow the audience. Although he is still young, Zhao is confident enough to say that he has reached a certain level.
Two years ago, Zhao became an instant hit with The Legend of Luzhen. Lu Zhen's ignorance from the beginning of entering the palace to becoming a royal sister is very similar to Zhao Liying's experience before and after entering the palace.
After graduating from aviation service, Zhao, who looks sweet, should have become a flight attendant, but she mistakenly went to a pipeline anticorrosion company and became a member of the sales department. At that time, the little girl had neither lofty ideals nor any career plans. "It doesn't matter what I do. What is important is that this job is relatively stable, close to my home, and there is no wind and sun when sitting in the office. " She fantasized that she would be promoted step by step in this career. "At that time, I was an assistant, and I can go up later. I feel that step by step promotion is very powerful. "
However, reality soon gave Zhao a blow. Sales work can't create achievements just by talking. As a small clerk, I am often dragged to accompany my customers to drink, and my feelings are deep and boring. Zhao has gastroenteritis. In the new drama "Come on Intern", this past event was accurately moved to the plot. The difference is that in the play, people are more and more frustrated, while in reality, Zhao is resigned.
Yahoo! The search for stars draft in 2006 became a turning point in Zhao's life. Before that, Zhao regarded her interest in acting as a subconscious. Since she was a child, she likes to watch others perform and fantasize about acting by herself, but she never thought about how to realize this fantasy: "Because there is no condition at home to support these jobs, there is no way to know anyone. Through a chance of draft, I feel that God has given me a chance. I must seize it, at least I am young, and I want to try again. So I left it alone and resigned to participate in this competition. "
Chair Zhao won the title of "Amateur" in the group, and later became the heroine of an advertisement directed by the director, holding the title of "Phoenix Girl", which was regarded as an entry certificate to enter the entertainment circle. However, the entry card is not an all-pass card. In the eyes of practitioners who have been immersed in the circle for many years, the identity of a draft champion is far from being entrusted with a heavy responsibility. She needs to walk slowly the rest of the way.
In 2007, she played the daughter of Zhang Guoli and Jiang in The Golden Wedding. There are not many scenes, and there is a kind of clever innocence with a vague face. In 2009' s "Lock the Clear Autumn", she played Jiang Peirong's maid and never saw her face several times. "At that time, I was very grateful to have this opportunity to come in. I don't ask for the rest, or I don't expect anyone to help me More is to practice and accumulate on your own. Then let yourself adapt to this circle step by step and learn how to treat your career. "
Born in a non-professional class, opportunities to hone acting skills are all in daily life. "Observation" is the first thing she learned after she entered the business. In the 2008 TV series "Spring Gone and Spring Came", Zhao still played a small role. After two years in the business, her acting concept is still stuck in "there are scripts and lines, so I will follow this performance and never think about anything else." However, when waiting in advance, I saw that Dai Jiaoqian, a fellow actor, was performing with complicated position, intense emotional expression and clever use of props, which were not reflected in the script. Zhao used "I woke up at once" to describe the shock brought by this detail. "Let me stop being so confused and muddling along like this."
After that, she watched the performances of her predecessors and peers on the set and tried to figure out the ins and outs of the performances of the characters in the classic works. The method is stupid, but the result is direct. By 20 1 1, Zhao had learned to act with quiet micro-expressions, and in this criticized remake, she also became a rare and widely acclaimed actress.
An insider familiar with Zhao said that Zhao has a strong purpose and she will try her best to achieve it: "You can see her desire for success, and success is not without reason, especially for a young girl." Moreover, most of the roles she chose were "stubborn, unyielding and tenacious" roles like Lu Zhen. Some insiders say that Zhao is good at picking plays and can always find such a role that the audience can't put it down. But in the eyes of people familiar with Zhao, she chose this role only because she is close to her own personality-she hates weakness and helplessness. Before deciding to invite Zhao to star in China, the producer had only seen her play The Legend of Luzhen. This image of delicate appearance and powerful heart is just what the flowers in the heart need.
At first, Zhao was only attracted by the word "Hua" and thought the name was "strange, magical and beautiful". Then he learned that Hua was the last god in the world, and Zhao immediately decided, "I want to play!" " Tang Lijun is a famous strong woman in the circle, and she is a little unaccustomed to the escape of the post-80s girls.
But Zhao didn't worry for long. At the stage of discussing the script before shooting, Zhao, who had read the original script, felt that the Chinese character in the early stage of the script was too weak and the contrast with the later stage was too great. According to her understanding, flowers should be weak in appearance and tough in essence, so she handwritten a role understanding and handed it to the director and screenwriter: "There are many pages. After reading them, everyone thinks what she said makes sense, and then the screenwriter readjusted a version, which is what it looks like now." Tang Lijun suddenly discovered that this actress who played a bunch of "silly and sweet" roles actually had her own opinions in her bones and was extremely persistent.
But in acting, running all the way caused a lot of troubles in the workplace because of her straightforward personality, so that the outside world labeled Zhao as "uneducated" and "zero emotional intelligence". The last time I talked to Zhao on a large scale was during the promotion of Come on Intern. In an interview with Ryan, Zhao, who just finished recording the variety show "Idol Comes", shared his feelings of recording the program: "No matter how you go to the reality show, there will always be some arrangements and scripts. I used to think it was fun to be on the show, but that machine always made me uncomfortable. " When she said this, she didn't notice Ryan's embarrassed expression as the biggest beneficiary of the popularity of variety shows. At the beginning of his popularity, the outside world once called Zhao the second Yang Mi, with a slightly similar appearance, and they were all very popular. But people soon discovered that Zhao didn't want to be the second Yang Mi. Obviously, she also has personality, which is very different from Yang Mi's way of doing things.
Compared with the former's high EQ, Zhao has a reckless feeling. She is not afraid to expose her shortcomings. At a press conference, under the strong demand of the audience, Zhao sang the songs she sang in the draft that year. An insider at the scene said, "She is also very brave. She dares to sing like this. "
Similar to Yang Mi, it is also due to their popularity that they have the same booster, CP. Around them, Yang Mi and Zhao and Chen Xiao always have some ambiguous words. Well-intentioned netizens have compiled and listed a large number of love videos from Chen Xiao to Zhao. Chen Xiao's love for Zhao can be found in Men Left and Women Right, An Interview here and Happy Camp. Some reporters witnessed it. When they were interviewed together, Chen Xiao said that Li Ying was long and Li Ying was short, while Zhao was always passive or unclear. After "Happy Camp" was questioned by He Jiong, Zhao said "Let it be" before Chen Xiao brewed the answer. Everyone could see the embarrassment on Chen Xiao's face. Zhao's careless attitude obviously dragged down the screen CP. Therefore, after this "love" was completely fruitless, Zhao became the main responsible person and was tortured by netizens again.
However, this recent "past" also entered the restricted area and was outlined in the interview.
There is only one general concept of black history, which he can verify. For example, the attack of the former agent and the deep digging of Tianya, Zhao's answer is also vague: "I just felt very strange before, why did I say these off-the-table remarks?" Later, I thought it was actually quite fun and wanted to laugh at it. This is also a concern, although the reason makes me feel ridiculous. "
"At least like us, people with mature and rational thinking will understand that they will have a clearer thinking to look at this matter and will not be affected by those childish words. In fact, adults with normal rational thinking will not judge a person so easily. "
But at first, Ye Zhao experienced a period of confusion, but it didn't take long for Zhao to be afraid from the beginning and understand that everyone would not like him: "At first, it may be timid, unconfident and stubborn, then it may be indifferent, or inflated and emotionally unstable, and then it will be peaceful and calm in the end, because we have experienced it at every stage, and then you can go from.
After she became popular, three or four TV plays a year occupied almost all her time. Zhao said that she has become the actress she wants to be, but found that there is still much room for improvement. In the future, she wants to make some changes and play an art film that she has never been exposed to.
But some things can't be changed. She said, "I am also glad that I am strong, or that you are stubborn or stubborn. It may be because of this personality that I am who I am today and let you see my work today. "
Tencent Entertainment: From being a walk-on to being a female number one, which role do you think has made a qualitative change for you?
Zhao: The qualitative change should be sunny. Because that opportunity is rare, it is a classic for us, and it is no different from the protagonist for me. They gave me a particularly good shape and made me feel like the protagonist. Ok, I'm going to start doing this part of my homework now. I'm going to approach the role from the voice, body language or my speech. I've never taken so many plays, and I've been filming for 8 months. At that time, I felt that it was an in-depth understanding from the inside out, and I gained something from both the drama and the industry.
Tencent Entertainment: Have you experienced pain here or want to give up?
Zhao: I never thought about giving up. Because my parents are more supportive of me, they feel that since you have this opportunity to get involved, don't give up this opportunity easily. From now on, as long as there is an opportunity, I will cherish it doubly. It is also because I cherish it every time, so I will gain more from it.
Tencent Entertainment: Is there any change in mentality after becoming popular?
Zhao: A big change is that my endurance is getting stronger and stronger. Every play is accompanied by the voice of doubt, all the way. I'm used to it. I think as long as you get stronger, these things will not be taken seriously. Because first of all, you are irreplaceable, and secondly, you have the value of existence. There will be many people who like you and will be recognized by many people.
Tencent Entertainment: How long did it take to get this peace of mind?
Zhao: Just two years. From "The Legend of Luzhen" to the present, the growth rate is the fastest. I am also glad that I am strong, or as you said, stubborn. It may be because of this personality that I have today and let you see my works today.
Tencent Entertainment: I saw on the Internet that Zhao can't talk very well, but I talked with you for a few minutes today, and I think your thinking is very clear.
Zhao: Actually, it's more because I have no experience. When chatting like friends, you may be reckless when you are surrounded by familiar people. But not everyone sees things directly like you. Some people like to watch bad things. Then we sunny people, or direct people, think it doesn't matter, because we may talk like this in life. Now that you have suffered losses, you will gradually exercise yourself.
Tencent Entertainment: What's the difference between participating in the reality show "Idol Comes" and filming?
Zhao: Actually, I want to make more friends and know more people and things. I don't want to be confined to the cast. I want to feel life and people around me.
However, after attending some reality shows, I found that my personality seems uncomfortable in front of other cameras except the filming scenes. It's unnatural and I don't know what to do, because I don't like to talk and feel insecure unless I am very familiar with it. Reality TV shows make me feel insecure. Please don't blame me for not being good at talking. I am slow, and I need to observe and understand slowly in this process. This way, I will slowly relax.
Tencent Entertainment: Variety shows are wonderful. Some guests will turn passers-by into powder, some guests will turn powder into passers-by or turn passers-by into black. Do you think people will know Zhao better and like Zhao better after watching this program? ...
Zhao: I think they might prefer me in the TV series, because at least I will be alive and kicking.
