zhang xueying uses her eyes to interpret characters.
her inner world is very complicated
the story of "twenty one days" begins with the sudden collapse of the luobai commercial building. 13 people were trapped 100 meters underground. at the beginning of the trap, everyone still retained their sanity. rescue, the people who lost contact with the outside world finally lost patience and collapsed completely in the extreme environment. the pressure for survival continued to intensify, and "survival" became the biggest problem. talking about the original intention of taking on the role of "twenty one days", zhang xueying said that the theme of disaster suspense is very attractive to her, and it is something she has never tried before. "in the story of "twenty one days", the extreme environment inspired many emotions." the complexity of human nature brings good and evil to the extreme, which is very enjoyable to play. "in the play, the trapped person haimei played by zhang xueying is a college student from a poor family. her mother makes money by setting up a stall, and she also earns living expenses through part-time tutoring. for zhang xueying, the biggest challenge in interpreting haimei is the complexity of haimei. “on the surface, she looks like a simple and innocent female college student, but her inner world is very complicated. in the abyss, she has been... observing silently, taking everything in mind.”
in the play, there are thirteen people trapped underground in the building. haimi needs to communicate and connect with other people, and the progress of her relationship with each person is different. among them, haimei has always had great trust in he xiaoguang, played by ou hao, because he xiaoguang is a former firefighter, and haimei firmly believes that he can take everyone out. later, the two developed feelings for each other, and their relationship developed to a level where they needed each other and were honest with each other. "they are comrades fighting side by side, and they are also each other's light and salvation. in a certain sense, they are the same people, so they understand each other better."
haimei has great trust in he xiaoguang.
every detail in a suspense drama is crucial
in order to express the state of being trapped underground for 21 days, zhang xueying lost weight through fitness and diet control before starting the filming, so that her appearance would be closer to the character and closer to the state of surviving underground for 21 days. in addition, since this was the first time she tried a suspense theme, zhang xueying studied the script repeatedly, "every small detail in a suspense drama is crucial and needs to be considered repeatedly. haimei is good at hiding her emotions. she doesn't show her emotions most of the time. i you can’t be too overt in your performance, you can only do some processing on your eyes.”
in the play, haimi often makes behaviors and choices that seem incomprehensible. she is an emotionally stable person who is good at hiding herself. haimei is not a completely true, kind, and beautiful girl. even until the end, it is impossible to define her good and evil. zhang xueying admitted that such a complex role is very attractive to actors. how to show the complexity of haimei without being too emotionally exposed is also a big challenge faced by zhang xue, "the balance point i finally found is to express it with eyes. eyes cannot deceive people, and they are also the most difficult to hide. "
i want to try the role of a villain in the future
the scene in the play that impressed zhang xueying the most was when luo haoran was voted out, with haimei casting the key vote in the end. at that time, everyone trapped in the ruins decided to vote on whether to distribute supplies to luo haoran, the major shareholder of the commercial building. he was considered to be the culprit of the collapse of the commercial building. in this life-and-death vote, the warm-hearted and kind-hearted haimei, whom everyone regarded as a "good girl", voted against the vote regardless of the feelings of her good friend luo haoran's daughter. this unusual move also surprised everyone present. zhang xueying said that she studied this scene when she was reading the script to analyze haimei's behavior. "seeing this, many viewers may be confused about haimei's choice. i did some processing during the filming and wanted to my expression is even more confusing, making people feel that hai is both good and bad, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil.”zhang xueying has played many young, cute and smart characters before. when talking about the types of roles she hopes to try in the future, zhang xueying said bluntly, "i want to try the role of a villain."
