Li Gengxi: The power of Chen Mian is helping me "surpass"

The inspirational sports drama "Beyond" directed by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is broadcasting two episodes on Dragon TV every night 19: 30. The play focuses on the key project of the Winter Olympics "Short Track Speed Skating". The first protagonist of the play is Li Gengxi, a new flower after 00. In recent years, it has soared with popular dramas such as Little Joy, Stop Twenty, and Send Charcoal in the Snow. Chen Mian, the short track speed skater she played, with her undying love and strong willpower, changed from a newly established Qingdao team player to a national team player and finally stood in the Winter Olympics. Recently, Li Gengxi said in an interview that "you have to go through transcendence to know what kind of yourself you want to surpass".

After ice training

Fall in love with short track speed skating

Transcendence presents the development of China's short track speed skating career in a double-line narrative way: a clue to look back. In 1980s, "punk" Zheng was recruited by coach Wu Qinghong for his extraordinary talent in the open-air skating rink, and became a short-track speed skater and teammate, starting a brilliant career. Another clue depicts that today, more than 20 years later, Chen Jingye's daughter Chen Mian joined the Qingdao short track speed skating team newly formed by Zheng Kai and started a dream trip.

In the play, Li Gengxi restored the true face of a short track speed skating teenager: short hair, almost plain face, clean and neat movements ... She said: "I have never seen a short track speed skating competition before, and I gradually learned about this project through this contact."

Before the filming of the whole drama, Li Gengxi had a long skating training with other actors. During the training process, Li Gengxi fell in love with short track speed skating: "We train on land and on ice every day. Every time we train on land, I am especially looking forward to being on the ice. "

And the role of Chen Mian.

Find your inner voice

Beyond is the first time that Li Gengxi made a sports drama. Talking about the biggest difference from shooting other dramas, Li Gengxi admits that shooting competitive games is a long process, and a game often takes nearly a week, and the process is cumbersome. She also learned what sportsmanship and team spirit are: "I and other actors are often injured, but we still have to stand up and continue training." In the repetition again and again, I realized what athletes are overcoming and persisting in. Once the director showed us the first clip, we were all in tears and felt that so many days of hard work were not in vain. "

Every short track speed skater will go through an injury test. There was a scene in which Chen Mian's teammate was injured, and the filming process of this scene made Li Gengxi unforgettable for life. Before shooting, she was very upset and didn't know how to react when her teammate was injured, but when shooting, she suddenly realized one thing: "That is guilt. Shooting that scene brought me a great psychological impact. After the filming, I feel that my whole body strength has been hollowed out. "

This time, Li Gengxi also found the inner voice of the character. In the play, Chen Mian experienced the process of being denied by his family and coach, and then standing up again after falling. "Everyone's growth process is more or less similar to Chen Mian's experience. What I love and insist on is acting. " Li Gengxi obviously felt his change after playing Chen Mian. "I sometimes encounter some unhappy things. When I feel difficult, there may not be many ways to overcome it, but Chen Mian's strength is helping me. Anyway, I am finished! "

Easy planning

Future career

In the past, li geng Heezen was deeply loved by the audience because of her cute little girl image: Qiao Yingzi in Little Joy and Jiang Mud in Fierce Knife in the Snow were her representative roles. In these plays, when Li Gengxi cooperated with his predecessors, his acting skills were natural and he did not get stage fright. In Beyond, her collaborative performance with Mei Ting, Hu Jun, Sha Yi and other senior actors is equally relaxed and grounded.

Two senior actors in Beyond have cooperated with Li Gengxi before: Hu Jun, who plays Chen Jingye, is the father of Chen Mian in the new play, and his role in Walking Sword in the Snow is Jiang Ni's future father-in-law Xiao Xu; In the new play, Zheng is played by Chen Mian's coach. His role in Little Joy is Joe's father, Joe Weidong. The two seniors took great care of Li Gengxi and created a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere for the crew after filming, so she was not nervous from the beginning and soon entered the creative state.

When talking about the career plan that she surpassed this year, she was very calm: "I worked hard last year and want to adjust this year. I'll take it when I meet a good script. If I don't meet, I can wait. " How to understand "transcendence"? She said: "You have to go through transcendence before you know what kind of yourself you want to surpass."
