Searching for "Zhang Yifan" on the social platform is no longer just a pop up of the stunning debut of Dance Storm.

When New Life was broadcasted, Zhang Xuan came into the audience's view. On the one hand, the audience loved the girl whom Zhang Xuan said was being PUA by Fico. On the other hand, the audience was surprised that Zhang Yifan, who was originally a green and shy girl, could play a flamboyant, noisy and even frivolous role.

Zhang Xuan's self, He Shan's Zhang Xuan, and Zhang Xuan sitting in the basement chatting with everyone are three different faces, at the same time, they put together a complete character. It is not easy for Zhang Yifan to perform all these differences while taking into account the integrity of the role.

"I have asked the director countless times why he chose me." Zhang Yifan said that he only got one answer. The director said, "I think you are, trust me, ok? I never worried that you would fail." The Olympic bid saw the possibility of Zhang Yifan, and this is also her ticket to enter the ranks of actors.

　　 I don't have much experience in acting. Let's imitate first

After getting the role of Zhang Xuan, Zhang Yifan still has to thank himself five years ago.

The bid came up with the idea that Zhang Yifan could play the role of Zhang Xuan because he saw Zhang Yifan shining on the stage in Dance Storm on the Internet. The setting of Zhang Xuan's ballet major students in the play perfectly coincides with that of Zhang Yifan. Soon, Zhang Yifan was invited to meet her agent for the bid.

On the day of the meeting, Zhang Yifan did not speak at all, but lay on the table all the way. Not that she didn't care about this opportunity, but that she was too nervous, and she didn't know what she could say. During the whole meeting, the elder sister of the agent was chatting with the director, and she listened silently. Although she always lets the audience see her lively and cheerful side, in fact, she is still an I person when facing unfamiliar people.

As a short play, "New Life" may not be as important as the role of Zhang Xuan in such a short play. If the actors give up a little or fail to grasp the essence of the characters, the role may be unable to stand from beginning to end, which is a great pressure for Zhang Yifan.

After receiving the script, Zhang Yifan read it many times, especially her own part. After reading the script, she also read a novel. In addition to reading it herself, Zhang Yifan also sent the script to her acting teacher.

This performance teacher is assigned by the brokerage company. She has been with her for a long time and knows her well. Zhang Yifan also often asks his teacher for advice, "After every heavy play, I will call the performance teacher to ask if I can perform like this. Sometimes there will be some small adjustments, such as changes in the rhythm."

In the process of grinding scripts, reading novels and communicating with performance teachers, Zhang Yifan can always find some new places in Zhang Xuan that can stimulate her, and then she takes these points she found to ask the director, "Is Zhang Xuan like this?"

"At first, I didn't understand why Zhang Xuan was so pompous at first, and her voice was always high." Zhang Yifan was worried about whether the audience would find her very noisy and annoying. The bid did not deny Zhang Yifan's concern, but also explained that "when the story line behind her comes out completely, in fact, she will find that this person is very sad and pathetic, so don't worry about the front."

Zhang Xuan in her school days was easy for Zhang Yifan. Zhang Xuan after her fall was a big problem for her

Later, the bid for the Olympic Games recommended a movie to Zhang Yifan, "Beautiful Women", in which Vivian, the heroine, is a call girl. "You may not have to exaggerate like her performance, but you can observe her movements, expressions, habits, etc. in the movie. The rest can go to the scene to pick up details." The bid said.

"In fact, when you think about it carefully, Brother Ao doesn't seem to pick up any details. He just encourages you. You are good, you can, you must be good. But there are some emotional changes. He can tell me in very straightforward words, so that I can catch that state soon." Zhang Yifan recalled.

　　 Scared

Zhang Yifan has to get up at 3:00 or 4:00 every day to make up.

In the play, Zhang Xuan needs at least 4 hours of makeup time for her appearance after plastic surgery. First, a nose support is placed in her nostrils to make her nose more three-dimensional, and her nose is more cocked up. Then she uses artificial leather to fix it outside. Every day, she removes makeup. The skin near her nose and chin is red. During that time, her face was allergic and pockmarked.

Every day when I open my eyes to the scene, in Zhang Yifan's words, it is "scared."

"On the first day of filming, I couldn't even walk away when we were filming together." Even after watching the script many times, I had to go through all the scenes the day before. I discussed and inquired with the director on the spot. At the moment of shooting on the spot, Zhang Yifan still couldn't restrain his nervousness. "At the beginning, I was really afraid."

In addition, Zhang Yifan's legs trembled when she came down the stairs wearing high heels

There are quite a lot of lines. In addition, Zhang Yifan is always worried that his acting skills are not up to the standard, and he is afraid that he will not finish well. The director of the bid for the Olympic Games still said, "You can do it, no problem."

Indeed, as the youngest and youngest actor in the play, it is really difficult to play together with Wang Yanhui and Huang Jue who are famous for their acting skills. "I am satisfied that I can finish my homework by acting with them."

After several films, Zhang Yifan found that everyone was very easy to get along with, and the tension was relaxed. "Plus, everyone is a professional actor. Once you go into the set scene in the play, those tensions can be completely put aside."

Fortunately, in the plot setting, several people sitting together are also unfamiliar. This strangeness helped Zhang Yifan to get into the plot, but soon everyone became very familiar with it. "As soon as I shouted, everyone talked, I often thought in my heart. How can I play later?"

When I played the role of Zhang Xuan's fallen man, "I was crazy." Zhang Yifan said, "Almost every time I played one, I would find the director and ask, 'Am I OK?'" The bid for the Olympic Games was still the same sentence, "Trust me, no problem, trust me, ok? Absolutely no problem."

Slowly, in the process of performing, Zhang Yifan found out about Zhang Xuan. In addition to her identity as a ballet student, she was similar to herself. "In fact, we are all very insecure people." But Zhang Xuan's lack of confidence came from her empty heart and no sense of security, while Zhang Yifan's lack of confidence came from her own requirements, "Only when I know clearly that I have reached the standard I want, will the stone in my heart fall."

"The director gave me a bit of a compliment at that time." Zhang Yifan said, "I really lack encouraging education, but in fact, pointing out my problems and shortcomings pointedly, whether criticism or severity, will make me more confident, because I know that such criticism will allow me and my works to develop in a better direction."

　　 Are you really ready?

From the beginning of his career, Zhang Yifan's path has been planned to become an actor.

But the beginning was not smooth, everyone did not know the little girl, and the project could not be promoted. "At that time, we tried every day and ran the crew, but we got few opportunities in the end." After several attempts, Zhang Yifan met the first character in his life, Hu Xiaodie, who committed suicide in Young You.

At that time, she didn't understand anything. "In fact, I didn't understand why I wanted to audition? I stood there foolishly, went to perform for others, or there was a machine shooting at you. I didn't know what I was performing."

But this performance, which I didn't know, was recognized by Zeng Guoxiang and Xu Yuezhen. Zhang Yifan successfully got his first role in his life

However, Hu Xiaodie, who had only a few scenes in total, could not support the development of an actress. She still faced the situation of no scenes to shoot. Finally, the brokerage company sent her to the stage of Creation Camp 2020. "In fact, to participate in this program is just to increase exposure and let more people know me."

After the performance of a dance on the initial stage and a song with nervous voice shaking, more people really knew the name "Zhang Yifan". During the two years from the recording and broadcasting of the program to the group, Zhang Yifan felt that he had changed a lot, "I used to be very nervous. I didn't know how to open myself and what to do, but after I became a group, I had more contact with everyone, so I slowly opened myself."

Two years was short. When Zhang Yifan returned to his own world from the team of Hard Candy Girl 303, he was still flustered. "I was worried that my acting skills or identity would not be recognized by the public." I had to admit that the industry still had some concerns about actors from idol.

How to break the inherent perception of the audience? Zhang Yifan's choice is to enrich himself first

Therefore, when he is not working, Zhang Yifan will pull films, turn on his mobile phone, and watch one movie after another from the top of the list. Some time ago, Zhang Yifan would have two hours of dialogue lessons every day as long as he did not conflict with his work. Recently, when New Student was broadcasted, Zhang Yifan's line teacher sent her a message to review her performance.

"Lay a good foundation by yourself, and don't leave a subject or an opportunity for others to talk about you."

The appearance of Zhang Xuan gives Zhang Yifan, who has been working hard in silence for several years, a chance to show himself to the audience. In the face of the audience's comments and the media's questions, she is still a little girl who lies on the table and is too nervous and shy to know what to say, but at the same time, she is no longer the Zhang Yifan who is afraid of the camera and the performance.

After "New Life", Zhang Yifan's reserve projects are not few. Director Cao Dun and Jing Boran jointly completed "Night Never Ends" at the end of last year. There are also several projects under negotiation. When asked about his expectations for the future, Zhang Yifan is particularly clear headed, "I know how heavy I am, and my goal is very clear. I hope I can catch the opportunity when it comes. You can't just blindly catch something that you can't reach, but it will make you fall even worse."

Such thinking shows the growth of Zhang Yifan. Zhang Xuan in New Life is just the beginning of her role as an actress. Then, actor Zhang Yifan, let's meet again in the future.
