the story of "twenty-one days" begins with the sudden collapse of the luobai commercial building, trapping 13 people hundreds of meters underground. as one of the thirteen people trapped underground in the building, chang xiangning, played by kong lin, is a lawyer and one of the soul characters in the play. recently, in an exclusive interview with a reporter from the beijing news, kong lin said that chang xiangning's roles may not seem to be many, but they are all very "excellent". "this character requires actors to feel more about the subtle changes in the character's psychological activities, to understand her complexity, and to accept the good and evil of human nature itself."
kong lin plays chang xiangning.
she's trapped by revenge
in the early stages of the plot, chang xiangning has a mysterious identity and is burdened with a huge secret. he is a very complex character. in kong lin's view, chang xiangning herself is very educated, a lawyer, and also attaches great importance to friendship. she appeared prepared and wanted revenge. "from her point of view, it is right and reasonable for her to seek revenge. but from another point of view, this woman is also very selfish. for her own selfish interests, she can completely ignore what others think. but after taking revenge, in some scenes between her and xiaoguang, you will find that she is still quite kind-hearted, but she is trapped by the mood of revenge. "the scene in the play that impressed kong lin the most was also the showdown with her revenge target luo haoran. chang xiangning learned that because she was terminally ill, her husband had accepted bribes in order to save her, so she embarked on a road of no return. so she collapsed at that moment, because everything was completely different from her original thoughts. "in that scene, she was desperate, sober, overwhelmed, powerless, and even stabbed luo haoran desperately. this scene was very vivid, because there are so many changes.”
various situations are put together to closely match the character's state.
for kong lin, the biggest difficulty in playing chang xiangning was that the character was originally a grandmother in the original work, and she was relatively older. later, adjustments were made, "she should be a particularly older character in the play, so after the actual age was lowered, i still made a lot of adjustments when i came to act, and i also found it a bit difficult. "the filming of "twenty one days" encountered a special period. at that time, kong lin's body was also challenged, and the whole crew was also challenged. after staying up late for more than 20 days in a row, the various situations put together can be considered close to the character's state. "so the performance is not specially designed, it is just a state of the character itself."
kong lin's state fits the character very well.
as the first disaster suspense drama in china, "twenty one days" combines disaster events with suspense themes, which is what attracted kong lin the most. talking about the types of roles she hopes to try in the future, kong lin said that she hopes to try a variety of characters, including the peking opera teacher she played before, which are different from the mother-type roles she played before. "i hope to receive more independent female roles in the future."
