China News Service, Beijing, August 27 (Liu Yue) This summer, the small screen in the summer season is divided into two parts by ancient puppets and fairy tales. As the top product in "Xianxia 101" in 2022, " Agarwood and Soup " has won the favor of the audience with its ups and downs, lingering emotional lines and vivid characters, and has murdered countless films.
seeks acting breakthrough gets out of the comfort zone in the upgrade challenge
When interviewed by China News Service reporters, actor Cheng Yi is busy filming the new drama " Lotus Tower " in Hengdian. Although the shooting announcements were complicated and he had not had time to match the plot, he still took a break from his busy schedule to pay attention to the audience's comments. "What impressed me most was that the audience friends found many interesting points, such as Ying Yuan's lipstick, such as the urgent need to watch the drama, "Fragrant Sibian", and Xuan Ye's sentence "Stop being persistent, be my emperor and queen" seems to be quite popular."
"It seems to be quite popular", Cheng Yi was still modest. Once "Agarwood and Shards" was broadcast, countless girls shouted "I want to give birth to a monkey for Emperor Ying Yuan". This is not surprising. He has a good figure, and his temperament is noble after pretending to be on the top, and his overall image is in line with the role, which naturally makes the audience feel very immersive.

to do what they are good at is not the same as being self-confidence. Cheng Yi adheres to the law of getting out of his comfort zone in the challenge of upgrading - fighting in the field of Xianxia dramas, while finding more possibilities for himself. For example, in "Agarwood and Soup", he challenged one person to play the triangles of Ying Yuan, Tang Zhou and Xuan Ye, and portrayed the three characters very differently with delicate and changeable performances.
"How to better distinguish the role depends on the degree of understanding of each role. The three characters have very obvious differences in the characters' personalities." In order to understand the role thoroughly, Cheng Yi did his homework after getting the script, and often discussed the plot with other main creators to deepen his understanding of the role: "Ying Yuan is tolerant and restrained, acts steadily, and cares about the people. Tang Zhou is arrogant and vicious, and he is more energetic because he is young. The devil king Xuan Ye is full of ambitions, love and the world want it, and his personality is unstable, and he never thinks he is a bad person."
Stabilization and sharpness are at the same time. Based on the current situation, the actors are attentive or not, the most sensitive ones are often the audience, and they are never stingy to pay attention to those who are serious about studying. Since the launch of "Agarwood and Shavings", Cheng Yi's Weibo has increased by 1 million more fans and has gained a lot of attention. However, looking at his Weibo , except for drama promotion and business, the business is not very much.
In this era when traffic can be discounted for to , Cheng Yi was a little "slow-paced" and was once teased by the actors in the same group of actors. He responded with a smile, "Besides work, I can watch mobile phones and listen to music, and go online to see the latest and fun things. This is not an old cadre."

Although the title of "old cadre", in many cases, Cheng Yi does have a sense of stability unique to the older generation. He loves to drink tea and make tea. WeChat does not have the function of Moments. He likes to accompany his family in his spare time and go out for dinner and travel with his family. When it comes to variety shows, he said that in the future, he will focus more on filming...
. When it comes to performing, Cheng Yi suddenly showed the spirit of a young man. "In the future, I will pay more attention to the logic of the story and characters when choosing scripts. I hope to try different roles, and I hope to have more opportunities to cooperate with excellent teamwork. Big characters, small characters, and those who have never acted before want to try it."
is like a Tang sword that has just been cut off. Stabilization and sharpness are the two sides of Cheng Yi. Facing different evaluations calmly, listening humbly to the audience's suggestions, not losing oneself in pursuit, and doing one's job well based on the present is Cheng Yi's creative methodology as an actor: "The most important thing as an actor is to play the role well, and leave the rest to the audience to judge. I think as long as you play your role well, the audience can feel it." Stills from Cheng Yi in "Agarwood is like shavings".The interviewee provides the summary of the transcript of the interview with
as follows:
China News Network: What kind of person is the "Ying Yuan" in your heart?
Cheng Yi: Emperor Yingyuan is responsible for protecting the people. He has maintained peace for tens of thousands of years and is willing to sacrifice himself for the people. He is a very calm and restrained person with great love in his heart.
I did some homework myself after getting the script. Before the filming officially begins, the entire crew will have a script discussion meeting, and the director, screenwriter teacher, and starring actors will also discuss the plot together. In this process, I deepened my understanding of the character and better became familiar with the details of the character's state and character.
China News Network: How do you distinguish roles by playing a triangle in the play?
Cheng Yi: How to better distinguish characters from depends on your understanding of each character. The three characters have very obvious differences in character personalities. Ying Yuan was tolerant and restrained, acted steadily, and cared for the people; Tang Zhou was arrogant and vicious, because he was young, so he was more energetic, had a direct personality, and was very passionate; the devil king Xuan Ye was full of ambition, wanted both love and the world, and his personality was unstable, and he never felt that he was a bad person.
The difference in styling and clothing can help distinguish these three characters to a certain extent. However, the two different characters, Tang Zhou and Ying Yuan, also retained the same little rebellion in their personalities. For example, Ying Yuan and Tang Zhou both like to turn over turtles, but the actions and emotions of the two doing the same thing are completely different, one is steady and the other is naughty.

China News Network: What is the most challenging and difficult scene that you find during the shooting?
Cheng Yi: The battle between the immortals and demons was the one who turned to Xinjiang. During the filming process, the entire crew spent almost every day in the wire hanging, which was a very physical challenge to the staff. Working in the desert, exposure to the sun and dust storms brought many emergencies to the crew, but at that time everyone was cheering each other up, thinking that they must persist and present such a beautiful scenery in the play and bring it to the audience.
(What impressive interesting things happen during the shooting process?)
Cheng Yi: The atmosphere of our entire group shooting on the set was very happy. Everyone would share their food and drinks every day between work and work, because a good mood can keep the actors in a better state. After all, when you are happy, you can only output good things to the audience, because you are in a good mood and the role played with love for the character is different. What impressed me most was the scene of Tang Zhou dying Yan Dan. At that time, we all suggested that the director not follow the rules and change his unexpected acting style. Tang Zhou suddenly scared Yan Dan, with a bit of comedy effect in the romance, which felt that it would be more in line with the settings of the happy enemies.
China News Network: Have you followed the audience's comments after "Agarwood and Soup" was broadcast? What is the most impressive evaluation?
Cheng Yi: I haven’t had time to read in detail. I'm still making up for the drama, because I'm filming in the group now and the scenes are quite full. But what impressed me most was that the audience friends found many interesting points, such as Ying Yuan’s lipstick, such as “Siang Siyan”, and Xuan Ye’s sentence “Stop being persistent, be my emperor and queen” seems to be quite popular.
As an actor, the most important thing is to play the role well and leave the rest to the audience to judge. I think as long as you play your role well, the audience can feel it. I must have some shortcomings in
in performance, so when I see some desirable comments, I will humbly listen to the audience's suggestions.
My mentality has not changed much. It’s better to base yourself on the present and do your daily work well, and don’t think too much about it.
