At the beginning of 2021, Zhao Shunran gained a lot, "I Am Such a Woman" and "The Wind Rises" were broadcast at the same time, and Zhao Shunran played Shi Jin and Li Zhi respectively.

Zhao Shunran
Birth date: April 16, 1995

Representative works: "The Wind Rises", "Crush on Orange Sheng Huainan", "I Am Such a Woman"
Poke the video to see Zhao Shunran's lineless performance. The Beijing News moved the news production
Refusing to watch other versions of "Li Zhi"
Before the start of "Wind Up And Neon Clothes", the role of Li Zhi has not been able to determine the right person, the producer is very anxious, just at this time he saw Zhao Shunran's costume style in the filming of "I Am Such a Woman", and felt that this is the image of Li Zhi in his heart.
Playing Li Zhi is a big challenge for Zhao Shunran, he does not have much experience in acting in costume dramas, this is the first time to play a real character in history, but also such a famous prince and emperor, that history is more familiar to everyone. "To be honest, I was still quite bottomless at first." Zhao Shunran said.
In addition to consulting a large number of books and materials on the history of the Tang Dynasty, after Zhao Shunran got the script, he specially invited an acting teacher to cover up each of his plays from beginning to end, "including how the lines should be said, what the rhythm is, anyway, it has made a lot of effort." Before starting, the crew also organized training in the etiquette of the actors, how to stand, how to perform the ceremony, how to do each gesture, under the blessing of these trainings, after entering the group, Zhao Shunran was steadfast.
Some people recommended Zhao Shunran to see Li Zhi who was played by others before, but he did not do so, "I am afraid that I will unconsciously imitate it after watching it." In this play, Zhao Shunran hopes to portray Li Zhi as a gentle and elegant, bold and careful person, "In fact, he is very clever, but under normal circumstances, he is not very good at taking the initiative to play tricks with others, just because his brother is framed, he has to keep his position." ”
Stills from "The Wind Rises"
Perform different states of the character by eye
Zhao Shunran felt that if he wanted to play Li Zhi well, he first had to smooth out Li Zhi's relationship with several roles around him, and the pre-class preparation he made came in handy at this time, "In this play, I think Wu Meiniang has helped Li Zhi the most, she has constantly taught him how to deal with his relationship with his father and emperor in Li Zhi's growth, and Li Zhi is grateful to her. Another female character in the play who is closely related to herself is Liu Li, played by Gulinaza, and Zhao Shunran feels that in fact, Li Zhi's feelings for Liu Li are very complicated, "Do you like it?" I think there should be. ”
In terms of character shaping, Zhao Shunran felt that the most difficult thing was the transformation between li zhi when he was crown prince and became emperor after he ascended the throne. "My way is the change of eyes, the early stage is more juvenile, more lively, including a lot of things but the brain, want to do it." The back is that it will be deeper and more introverted in character. ”
Playing Pei Xingjian in the play is the actor Xu Weizhou, Zhao Shunran and Xu Weizhou have been good friends for many years, so privately the two people have more time together, "I often help him take photos on the scene, not only for him, but also for Sister Na (Gulinaza), they are also quite satisfied." ”
After the launch of "The Wind Rises", the evaluation was mixed, and some netizens questioned the rationality of the plot and filming methods. Zhao Shunran felt: "A play is more or less controversial, I think this is a very normal thing, because everyone's perspective is different, as an actor when we act, we can't influence the audience's thoughts after the broadcast, we just concentrate on playing our own roles, and it is most important to complete our work." ”
Zhao Shunran pays attention to eye changes in his performance.
The first time I filmed, the lines were all unfavorable
Since he was a child, Zhao Shunran has had the dream of being a big boss when he grows up, although he was admitted to the Sichuan Conservatory of Music because of his hobbies and interests, but he never thought of entering the show business circle in the future, "I have always thought about going to do business when I grow up, and I didn't think about what business to do, I just wanted to be the boss." Speaking of childhood dreams, Zhao Shunran smiled and squinted.
Stepping into this line comes from a clichéd story. In 2015, Hunan Satellite TV's "First Grade" was auditioned in art colleges, and Zhao Shunran accompanied his good friend to the interview, and as a result, he was selected. After recording "First Grade", an agency found Zhao Shunran and invited him to shoot a scene, "At that time, it was a sophomore year, and I felt that I would try it when I had the opportunity, and it was also a good experience." ”
The first time he filmed, Zhao Shunran treated this matter more as a piece of work to complete. When he first entered the set, walked in position, and watched the camera, he wouldn't. "I remember the first two days of filming was very nervous, and I didn't know where to watch, especially some shots, there were no actors in front of you, it could be a camera position, I didn't know how to act, and the lines were unfavorable." 」 Recalling his youthful appearance from the first time he filmed, Zhao Shunran felt that it was also a very interesting memory.
Although he was not from a science class and did not have any acting skills at that time, Zhao Shunran felt that his biggest advantage was that he could quickly relax himself. It was also this experience of filming that Zhao Shunran opened his interest in acting.
At the same time, "I am such a woman"
Filming "Crush on Orange Sheng Huainan" saw its own shortcomings
At first, he only regarded filming as a job, or even an interest, but while filming, Zhao Shunran decided to take it seriously, regard actors as his future career, and be serious and rigorous.
"Crush on Orange Sheng Huainan" is a very important work for Zhao Shunran, "because it is also an IP that many fans expect, I am also fully integrated into the role and invest a lot." But this is true of any industry, expectations and harvests are not necessarily proportional, after the broadcast of this play, the results are not as expected as expected, questions and criticisms are overwhelming, "everyone will say that you are not good-looking, not the Sheng Huainan in their hearts, I have actually been considered to have a relatively large heart, but that time was also hit a lot." ”
"Crush on Orange Sheng Huainan".
Sadly, Zhao Shunran feels that this kind of thing can only find problems from himself, in addition to adjusting his mentality, it is more important to improve his acting skills and ability to handle roles. "Practice your lines more, watch more movies and excellent TV dramas, see how others act, and accumulate more."
Although he came from a music background, Zhao Shunran felt that the most important thing at the moment was to act well and improve his acting skills. He is still just starting out, need to accumulate more acting experience, and the roles he has not created are attractive to him. As for the development of music, Zhao Shunran said: "At present, I haven't thought too much, first do a good job in front of me, maybe the actor's job has improved, and then I will consider the music side." ”
