Chapter 67: Interview with the popular student Chen Nan: A boy as bright as the sun [II]

……

"Reporter: You were just a freshman at the time, how did the director choose you?

Chen: At that time, my family was scraping together a lot of money to pay for my tuition, and I was under a lot of pressure, so I wanted to earn some money to at least cover my living expenses. It just so happened that I was interested in writing a script, so I adapted the Ming legend "Fish Basket" and the two novels of Mr. Xi Juan that I had read before into a script and showed it to Director Li, but I didn't expect it to be really fancied.

Reporter: The scripts of "The Legend of Heaven and Earth: The Fish Beauty" and "The Wrong Sedan to Marry the Right Lang" are both adapted?

Chan: That's right. Because I wrote the script, the director said, you have a good image, or I'll give you a role, and then I have my first role.

Reporter: "The Legend of Heaven and Earth: The Lotus Lantern" won't be also a script written by you, right?

Chen: (laughs) So far, I have participated in "Fish Beauty", "Baolian Lantern", "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair", and "Love Through Time and Space", including the film that has just been filmed in Hong Kong, as well as a martial arts drama starring in December, a film about police and bandits, and "A Date with the Police" filmed by Xu Jiao and Xu Director in September.

Reporter: (Wow!) The TV series and movies you shoot are all scripts that you wrote yourself?

Chen: Yes, there are adaptations, there are originals. At the beginning, I had no fame or qualifications, and I was easy to be despised in terms of age, so I thought about using an adaptation to open up the situation. Fortunately, the results of the first few plays were not bad, so more people began to try original scripts later.

Reporter: Can you tell us what role you play in the new drama "Love Through Time and Space"?

Chen: In the drama "Wear", I played Zhu Yunwen, the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, after his father's death, Zhu Yuanzhang was bent on making him emperor, and did not hesitate to snub his other sons, which also triggered a battle in the imperial family. But it's not the kind of history that is very serious and serious, the two heroines are both traveled back from the modern time and space of later generations, and it should be the first time-traveling drama in the mainland.

Reporter: Crossing? Similar to "Looking for Qin"?

Chen: The statement of crossing is the same, but "Wearing" is a crossing between two heroines, and it is to the Ming Dynasty, which integrates various elements such as romance, idols, modernity, ancient costumes and funny, which are two completely different feelings from "Looking for Qin". The unexpected encounter between Zhu Yunwen, who I played in it, and the heroine's little playboy who traveled back in later generations opened another part of his life. The Zhu Yunwen in this is gentle, infatuated, single-minded, (and very handsome) quirky little plaything, Zhu Yunwen, who has been silently tolerating her, the plot is very exciting, everyone remember to watch it. (I heard that you and Sun Li no longer play a couple in the play?) Yes, Sun Li is more suitable for the role of 'Liu Rumei', and the director's casting is decided from the most suitable angle, so he ruthlessly broke me up with Sister Li.

Reporter: You have cooperated with Sun Li, Jiang Qingqing, and Zhou Xun (the movie that Chen Nan just finished filming in Hong Kong), do they all take care of you like a little brother?

Chen: Actually, I take care of each other with them. (Sun Li has worked with you the most, she takes good care of you when filming, right?) Yes. (Do you usually like girls to take care of you?) I can take care of myself (laughs).

Reporter: Many people say that your quiet appearance is always loved, what do you think?

Chen: I think it's sometimes good to be quiet, and sometimes it's not good. Well, because I look more introverted and stable, I am quite confident in life, but I am too quiet and easy to offend people. (You don't seem to like to join in the fun?) I like to be quiet, I don't jump on weekdays, I like to stay at home, read books, write scripts, and occasionally surf the Internet with friends and play games.

Reporter: Now that you've been acting in costume films, are you also quite distressed?

Chen: Yes, since I was filming, the TV series I have filmed are all in ancient costumes, and I already feel it when I act. The roles are different, but the type is single. Some time ago, I adapted the script of a police movie, hoping to try different genres. (Is it the Hong Kong movie?) No, it's a script that I went to visit the crew of "A Date with the Police" some time ago and chatted with Director Xu on the spot, a serious police film and TV series. (Why are they all their own scripts?) You are also a popular student now, and you don't have a script to find you? There are, too. But the quality is uneven, and the characters are not very suitable. I think that since I have the ability to write scripts, I can control the quality of scripts and the charm of the characters, so I can concentrate on these things first, lay a solid foundation, and try my best to do a good job now. When my ability improves, I will naturally come to me with better and better dramas in the future. (Do you think being good looks has become a disadvantage for actors?) There is no way to change your appearance, and in terms of image, I think there are more opportunities to look good. ”

……

"Personality."

"I believe that opportunities are to be fought for.

I was very happy before I became famous, and now I am happy filming, which is very fulfilling, I can be loved by more people, I can make more money, and I never feel tired. ”

"Reporter: Do you want to do something and try to do it?

"Chen: I'm quite conflicted. On the one hand, I want to be a person who does not fight or grab, but on the other hand, many opportunities, if not fought for, are really fleeting. For example, the art exam, such as writing the script, this is all considered to be my own hard work, and finally it was done, in fact, it is quite fulfilling.

Reporter: Sometimes we think that for a successful actor, acting skills are not the most important, but character is the most important.

Chan: Yes, but acting is also very important. (Do you value acting so much?) Yes, although some of the roles I play are in costume for the time being, I am the villain in "Fish Beauty", the fairy in "Baolian Lantern", the black boy in "The Wrong Sedan to Marry the Right Lang", and the infatuated and warm man in "Love Through Time and Space", and I am trying roles with different personalities in a limited subject matter.

Reporter: Do you think there has been any change before and after you became famous?

Chan: Other people's attitudes towards me will change. (Do you care what people think of you?) Don't care. I was very happy before I became famous, and now I am happy filming, it's very fulfilling, I can be loved by more people, I can make more money, I never feel tired, and I don't care what others think of me. I know I still have a lot to work on, and it's not easy to get more recognition. ”

……

"Life."

"I often film outside, so I don't have many friends at school, but I also made a lot of good friends during the filming."

"Reporter: Is there a director you particularly want to work with?

Chen: I don't think it's up to me to choose. (What movies do you like to watch?) Hong Kong film. Maybe it's close to life and you can learn something. (Have you ever thought about becoming a director yourself?) I've thought about it, but I'm still lacking in ability now, mainly studying, and being an actor is my job.

Reporter: Have you ever thought that you would study abroad to improve yourself in the future?

Chen: I want to learn and improve mainly through practice, not necessarily studying abroad.

Reporter: With your personality, I always feel that it is not suitable for development in the entertainment industry, many people think that this circle is too complicated, what do you think?

Chan: I don't think it's complicated, it probably has something to do with my personality.

Reporter: Are you the kind of person who values the family? You may not have noticed it yourself, but you mentioned several times about 'money' and 'Lao Chen's family'.

Chan: That's right. My family is very poor, and it is not easy for my parents to raise me, and it is something that many people in the village cannot understand that I can be provided for to study in the theater. They were rustic, but they never owed me anything they could. So I want to become famous, I want to earn money, so that my parents can live a good life, and my younger siblings can get better educational conditions. If I have the ability, I also hope to help the villagers get rid of poverty and become rich.

Reporter: After you become famous now, have there been any changes in your family and village?

Chen: My family is very happy for me, I sent the first money I earned from filming and writing scripts back home, so that they could pay back the money borrowed from the tuition fee, and the rest bought a black and white TV set, and they all watched my drama and my show. (How many people are in your family?) Mom, Dad, third sister, little brother, count me, five mouthfuls. My grandparents are supported by my father and uncle. (You're second in line?) Yes, I also had a big brother who drowned when I was very young, so when I was a child, my grandmother looked at me very strictly, and I was afraid of water. The first play I filmed, "Fish Beauty", had a scene where I was kicked off a pond, and I had to overcome it for a long time.

Reporter: Do you have any plans and progress in terms of relationships, so that you can reveal them to us?

Chen: I'm only a sophomore, and I mainly focus on my studies and filming. (What kind of girls do you like?) The good-looking skins are the same, and the interesting souls are one in a thousand. (I find that you often say some golden sentences) usually write a script to diverge your thinking and think of something interesting. I have to write this sentence down, and I may use it later to write a script. (So you prefer funny girls to good-looking girls?) Everybody likes good things, and I might like the kind of girls who are fun and good-looking. (Hey!) Greedy! Ideal, it's just ideal, just like when I was a kid I wanted to be a scientist, think about it, and don't suffer. (Aren't you worried that falling in love will affect your idol image?) Don't worry. I'm going to go to the powerful faction. (Will you look for those in the circle or outside the circle in the future?) Not necessarily, it depends on fate. (Then I wish you to find that interesting and good-looking girl soon.) Thank you.
