The image of the "bad woman" in film and television dramas can always arouse the audience's hot discussion, following Ling Ling in "The First Half of My Life" and Lin Youyou in "Thirty Only", Wei Lan in "North and South" successfully advanced to the ceiling of "villain female characters". The first two were factual destruction of other people's marriages, while Wei Lan forged a series of evidence to destroy other people's families in order to get revenge on the leader.
In the TV series "North and South", actor Wang Mengli played Wei Lan.
This is the first time that Wang Mengli, an actor who plays Wei Lan, has played such a role, "both surprised and excited", "Watching the finished film, I think Wei Lan is more annoying than I imagined." However, being able to play such a "bad woman" is also enough for the actor, so even if he knows that he will be attacked by netizens, Wang Mengli is still very willing to accept such a role, "Wei Lan let me find another way of playing." ”
Wei Lan's long straight hair stemmed from her personality
The TV series "North And South" directed by Feng Xiaogang tells the growth and love stories of several urban women. With the development of the plot, Wei Lan, played by Wang Mengli in the play, has aroused heated discussion. As an intern, Wei Lan neglected her job because she was sociable, and tried to achieve a positive operation by buying people's hearts and minds, but du Shijun, the leader played by Zhu Yuchen, refused, so she smeared lipstick on Du Shijun's collar in an attempt to trigger his family conflicts, and this series of operations was also rated by netizens as "Lin Youyou (the character in the TV series "Thirty Only") upgraded version" by netizens.
After reading the script at first, Wang Mengli knew that playing Wei Lan would definitely be scolded, "This person is too extreme, I have never met such a person, and there are few people who are so extreme in life." And her biggest feature is that no matter what she does, she is particularly reasonable. However, such a role also has advantages," for the actor, there is a lot of room to play, and it is very cool to play. ”
Wang Mengli, who graduated from the Acting Department of the Communication University of China, did not have the experience of sitting in the office, in order to better understand Wei Lan's psychology, she consulted many friends, "After listening to many stories, I realized that there were so many intrigues in the original office, and many of them were outside my cognition." With the support of these examples, It was easier for Wang Mengli to believe in the possibility of the existence of a person like Wei Lan.
In the play, Wei Lan appears most of the time in a straight hair style.
In addition, Wang Mengli revealed that the shape of Wei Lan in the play was designed by director Feng Xiaogang, "He felt that Wei Lan was a very straight person, would not bend so much, and had a heavy sense of revenge." "So a lot of times Wei Lan's hair is particularly straight."
The first scene is a confrontation with Si Meng, a bit confused
The first scene of Wang Mengli's group is the first meeting with Du Shijun's wife Si Meng (Si Ni). This scene is about Wei Lan to tell Si Meng that the other party's marriage is in trouble. Because I just entered the group, everyone is unfamiliar, and other staff are not familiar, but also to face the director Feng Xiaogang, all this makes Wang Mengli feel very nervous.

So that scene was filmed twice, and Wang Mengli did not enter the state, "In fact, when I tried the scene, I tried this scene, and Director Feng said that you would take out the state of the audition." At the same time, this scene is also the first scene in which Si Ni entered the group, and Si Ni comforted Wang Mengli that she did not need to be nervous. In the end, Wang Mengli also smoothed the tone of the characters through this play.
After the cooperation, Wang Mengli felt that filming with director Feng Xiaogang was a very happy thing, "Before shooting TV series, you need to rush to work, so after shooting one, you have to hurry to prepare for the next scene, and you rarely have the opportunity to go to the director to watch the replay of the monitor." But in the "North and South" crew, after each shooting, Director Feng will ask the actors and cameras to look at it together, where there is a problem to adjust and shoot again, after filming everyone to see, "so that you can see your own problems very intuitively, the director will also correct on the spot, which is very helpful to my performance." ”

After receiving the role, I was ready to be scolded
After the broadcast of "North and South", many friends around Wang Mengli couldn't help but talk to her about Wei Lan, and she herself chased the drama down without landing on the ground, "When I was acting, I knew that this role was quite angry, and I didn't expect to see the finished film more angry." ”
After receiving this role, Wang Mengli was actually ready to be scolded. Although netizens have been rationalized a lot after experiencing Ling Ling in "The First Half of My Life" and Lin Youyou in "Thirty Only", some people still ran to Wang Mengli's Weibo to leave a message. Every time she saw someone scolding her, Wang Mengli told herself that it was scolding Wei Lan, and she also thought that at least this proved that the role she created was successful.
In the web drama "Hurry That Year: Long Time Gone", Wang Mengli played Fang Fei.
Before that, Wang Mengli starred in most of the youth idol theme works: Fang Fei in the web drama "Hurry That Year: Long Time Gone", Fang Aaron in the urban drama "Give Up on Me, Hold on to Me", Wu Liangliang in the urban drama "That Starry Sky and That Sea"... Through this attempt, she found that she could also control the image of a good "bad woman", "Aside from her personality, Wei Lan is actually a royal sister, as I get older, this kind of role is more and more suitable for me, and I am willing to take more." As for the attacks of netizens on the role, Wang Mengli feels that it is better to work hard to play the role and do his job.
