The anti-drug realism drama " Ice Rain Fire " starring Chen Xiao and Wang Yibo , and Wang Jinsong , Liu Yijun , Zhang Zhijian and others are currently on the air on Youku. The play tells the story of the lone hero Wu Zhenfeng (played by Chen Xiao) and the anti-drug policeman Chen Yu (played by Wang Yibo) and his teammates who infiltrated the drug trafficking group and finally killed all the drug dealers.
In the play, Zhang Zhijian plays Chen Liwen, deputy captain of the Anti-Drug Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department, and is the superior leader of Lin Dezan (played by Wang Jinsong) and Chen Yu. At present, the character has few scenes, but he is serious, majestic and terrifying every time he appears, and is always vigilant about the police station. This also made many viewers speculate that it might be a "insider". In response, Zhang Zhijian laughed in an interview with the Beijing News reporter, saying that the audience was still "too simple": "Maybe it is because some of the characters I interpreted in the past that I will not simply play good or bad people, so it has caused the audience to have some illusions."
Zhang Zhijian plays Chen Liwen.
Majesty and decisive behavior, suitable for the identity of an old anti-drug police officer
In more than 40 years of performance experience, Zhang Zhijian has created many deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the role of Chen Liwen seems to be different - he is an anti-drug policeman. Zhang Zhijian has learned about drug control work in many news reports. In his opinion, drug control is a complex war. The first thing to do is to take on this scene is to have great respect for drug control police officers. "I have played the role of many cadres in the organs before and also played the role of the director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. But Chen Liwen is different. Many drug dealers are armed, and (drug police officers) are not the same as others face (criminals)."
At the same time, Chen Liwen is also the deputy captain of the Anti-Drug Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department. He has a full understanding of drug control and the current situation of drug prevalence, so when new drugs appeared in Yunhe County, he was urgently sent to the front line and asked everyone to solve the case in a month. He has few scenes and has not participated in the case investigation on the front line, but Zhang Zhijian believes that this role represents the importance attached by the provincial public security department to drug control work. "Drug control work is not only reflected by a county brigade, but by a county public security bureau."
is the anti-drug policeman with the highest rank in the play. From his appearance with a strong aura and strict requirements for Lin Dezan to solve the case within one month and make progress in a week, to being serious when communicating with his subordinates, this has made Chen Liwen synonymous with majesty. In Zhang Zhijian's view, the decisive way of working is the character given to the character by the script, and it is also very suitable for his identity as an old anti-drug police officer. "And he also came to Yunhe with the task of his superiors." Zhang Zhijian believed that through Chen Liwen's positive deterrence, all the front-line anti-drug police officers in the play can be energetic and go all out to solve the case, and the purpose of this character is achieved.
Chen Liwen is serious.
deliberately "keep a distance" from Wang Jinsong outside the play
In the play, Zhang Zhijian has many impressive scenes, such as the handling of anti-drug police officers and drug dealers; he was unexpectedly lost when taking action, and everyone was very frustrated. There was a scene in the Anti-Drug Corps, and Zhang Zhijian's lines alone cost nearly eight minutes. This also includes Chen Liwen's suspicion of his subordinate Lin Dezan. "Lin Dezan is out of confidentiality regulations, and there are many things that cannot be reported to his superiors. I can understand. But all the signs also make me doubt him, which is normal. Finally, I knew that he actually wanted to catch all the drug dealers in Yunhe in one place before retirement, and also made great sacrifices. These scenes are quite exciting and very good."
Zhang Zhijian recalled that the shooting conditions of "Ice Rain and Fire" in Yunnan were very difficult, and it was often filmed until one or two o'clock in the evening. "But these difficult conditions may also be a spiritual shock to everyone, which gives us a more complete understanding of the anti-drug police officers. Especially our young actors have seen a lot, and I think it is very good."
Speaking of this cooperation with two young actors, Chen Xiao and Wang Yibo, Zhang Zhijian said that the two actors were very serious during filming and could endure hardships. Chen Xiao is a relatively mature actor, and there are many expressions in the play that are well interpreted.Wang Yibo is also willing to work hard on the performance, "If you have a serious attitude, you will have good results." Wang Jinsong, who plays Lin Dezan in the play, has worked with Zhang Zhijian many times and is also a very familiar friend in life. However, because Chen Liwen doubted Lin Dezan in the play, Zhang Zhijian and Wang Jinsong did not communicate much except for the lyrics, and deliberately maintained a sense of alienation in the relationship between characters. "There is no need to be tacit understanding in such a relationship with different ideas. The less tacit understanding, the better, and the audience will find it more and more interesting to watch. There will be some rival scenes with Teacher Jinsong later, and I think they are all well expressed."
Chen Liwen came to Yunhe with the task of his superiors.
will definitely choose complex characters that show human nature
From Dong Jianchang in " The right way in the world is vicissitudes ", Gao Yuliang in "The Name of the People", to Chen Liwen in "Ice Rain and Fire", Zhang Zhijian seems to prefer complex characters in his heart. Zhang Zhijian admitted that when choosing characters, he will definitely choose complex and human-looking people, and he does not want the audience to see through them at a glance. "Including some extremely evil drug dealers in "Ice Rain and Fire", they will betray friends for their mothers, and they will get deeper and deeper into drugs. In fact, this also reflects the human side. If you just play a good or bad person too simply, I may not take such a role."
Therefore, Zhang Zhijian also understood that the audience was worried that Chen Liwen would "get bad" as she acted. "But we still hope to convey light in a relatively depressing atmosphere in "Ice Rain and Fire". (This drama) I hope to use my passion, my performance experience, and my understanding of this character and the script to try every means to impress the audience, so that the anti-drug front is not a place to make fun of it."
As an actor who has been performing for more than 40 years, Zhang Zhijian did not feel the constraints of age. In his opinion, actors can play different roles as they get older, which is a happier thing. "Like in the play, Mr. Jinsong plays Lin Dezan, she retires in a few months and is nearly 60 years old. We are at this age and plays the role of this age, which is very clear."
