From the agile "Xiao Zhao Mosheng" in " Why is Sheng Xiaomo ", the ghost elf Tang Xue in " Rock Sugar Stewed Snow Pear ", the gold medal mediator Ye Xiaomei in " Eighty, 90 ", and then to the brave in " Light Chaser " The fearless, mature and strong surgeon Zhan Yan, who has moved from a girl to a thirty years old, witnessed every step of the growth of Wu Qian ; and she is also trying to use more diverse roles to gradually break the previous cognition of the outside world. "The character Zhan Yan is a type I have never been exposed to. I finally have the opportunity to tell the audience that I have other possibilities." Wu Qian said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from Beijing News .
rescue scenes are my job that needs me to complete
"The Light Chaser" uses the growth of characters such as Robben, Zhan Yan and others as clues to shape the real group portrait of the private public welfare rescue team. Before this, there were no TV works in China with the theme of "civil public welfare rescue organizations", and this theme also surprised Wu Qian. She has consulted many reports on rescue incidents and gained insight into the rescue groups through various information. "They exist in all walks of life and do their own jobs. Once a disaster occurs, they immediately change into equipment and rush to the scene. They play an important role in life rescue and post-disaster reconstruction. These ideals and love are gathered together, extend their hands to save lives in various ways, and strive to become the light of others. They admire them very much."

drama. Zhan Yan, played by Wu Qian, is a surgeon and a professional member of the international medical rescue team. In the repeated participation in rescue events, he has played to his advantages in medical rescue and demonstrated many medical rescue methods. It is reported that Wu Qian remembered a large number of professional medical terms before shooting, learned the steps of emergency rescue and surgical operations from professional doctors, and paid attention to every detail as much as possible, such as the sequence of wounds, the ratio of cardiac resuscitation and artificial respiration, the position and frequency of cardiac resuscitation and compression. Regarding the understanding of medical scenes, she said, "Doctors are professions close to life, so they must be more prepared. These medical rescue scenes are also our jobs that we need to complete. Zhan Yan has good psychological qualities and professional skills. Her professional qualities determine that she must be calm and give people around her a sense of security when facing emergencies. I will also follow the plot and the psychological motivation of the character when performing to express this character. I hope that the audience can believe in the role, and I hope that her story can ignite the positive energy fire in the hearts of the audience." When filming
, the crew also paid special attention to the details of the doctor's dress, such as the pen on the chest must be fully worn, among which the blue and black pen is used for daily writing, the red pen is used to mark the test form, and a small electric pen used to check the pupils... "The external image is an intuitive display of the image of the doctor. Whether it is appearance or body movements, the crew staff will pay special attention." Wu Qian said.
The actors can only get into the role by themselves
In fact, Zhan Yan in "The Light Chaser" is not a "likable" heroine in the public sense: she seems a little cold on the outside, but she is stubborn and strong; she has the ability to be online, but she is not good at the world, and her career always hits walls because of it.
Wu Qian admitted that Zhan Yan's role setting is the result of her repeated communication and discussion with the director, producer and screenwriter before starting the filming. In her opinion, everyone will have shortcomings; as long as the shortcomings are reasonable, they will usually establish the foundation of the character. Zhan Yan has been suffering from her parents' emotional lack since childhood, so she has wrapped herself up very strictly, is serious in her usual manner, is strict in her professional requirements, and is very restrained in expressing love. Until she worked together with others to rescue and gradually untied her knot with her father and healed each other with the people around her, Zhan Yan finally smiled little by little like her name. "This type of people is not a minority in life, and they also have their own cute side, such as when they are in love or even when they are working, they will have their own light behind them."

"Light Chaser" also shows many real and professional rescue processes, including the restoration of major events such as mudslide danger, underwater rescue in caves, and glacier rescue, as well as the shooting experience of learning high-altitude rappelling, 4-meter-deep water rescue, and "self-rescue" in the mud of a karst cave with members of the blue sky rescue team , which impressed Wu Qian deeply. It is reported that in the underwater rescue incident in the play, many diving scenes were completed by Wu Qian herself. "If these heavy-scene rescue scenes were not completed by the actors, they would not be able to get deeper into the characters. Because we are not highly trained professional rescuers, these scenes were really difficult to shoot, but in fact, the pain we experienced was insignificant compared to their real experiences. Compared with other heavy-scene scenes that are difficult to shoot, diving is relatively less difficult, because I have diving experience before, and I have Diving Certificate , you will feel less timid when filming underwater rescue.

Beijing News: Many viewers said that "Light Chaser" is not a love drama disguised as a rescue. How do you understand the relationship development between Zhan Yan and Robben?
Wu Qian: Everyone in the Chasing Light Rescue Team is an ordinary person from all walks of life. Whether it is rescue or their lives, it would be unreal if they were completely separated. The professional part of this drama is very solid, and the emotional expressions other than rescue are naturally blended and interspersed. In fact, it is a true portrayal of the ordinary life of the rescuers. She and Robben are fundamentally the same kind. They both have childhood experiences of emotional deprivation, and they are both people who use their actions to bring strength and responsibility to others. The development of their relationship did not happen in an instant, but slowly became a relationship that could deliver each other's lives.
-Talk about yourself-
Beijing News: What are the similarities and differences between you and Zhanyan in life, in terms of personality or views on things?
Wu Qian: In fact, Zhanyan’s working status is very similar to mine. He is extremely strict on himself and the team. Of course there are pros and cons, so you need to be clear about what you want and make trade-offs.
Beijing News: Why did you choose "Light Chaser" at the current stage, a work that is quite different from everyone's perception of you in the past, and even somewhat out of your comfort zone?
Wu Qian: has just been established. If you want to really stand up, you must get out of your comfort zone. What's more, the comfort zone I once had may not be comfortable for me now. So I hope to expand my comfort zone so that I can really stand up in my thirties.
Beijing News: What are your criteria for selecting scripts or roles next?
Wu Qian: When I take on a role, the script always comes first. As long as there is a good script and a complete and fleshed-out character, I don’t mind what genre it is. The outside world's existing impression of me is indeed caused by the single type of roles in the past, but I actually have many aspects that the audience has never seen. I hope to have the opportunity to show it to everyone through my works.
