The actor Cheng Yi has completely preserved the senses and reflections that connect with life, and is also the focus of the fireworks inside and outside the arc and in the world.
The interview started with a rain in Changsha. Cheng Yi finished his day of shooting, stood outside the studio, and made a phone call. In the wet and cold weather at the beginning of December, the water drops fell to the ground, and the laughter of children, the cries of vendors, and the horns of passing vehicles could be heard not far away. Trivial sounds from the external environment appear from time to time along with his narration, carrying the lazy warmth soaked in the mundane world. At these moments without the arc of the character, Cheng Yi blends into the background, gentle and warm; he also cuts through the complex emotions attached to the character, revealing his true self. "It's cold outside, but it's also very comfortable." Because you can see houses in the distance, rolling trees, and drizzle of rain. The meticulous insight into things is a rare talent, and it is also a very warm care. The speeding around for more than ten years has not paralyzed his awareness. The actor Cheng Yi has completely preserved the senses and reflections that connect with life, and is also the focus of the fireworks inside and outside the arc and in the world.
Find a fulcrum
The temperature on the shooting day was not friendly, and the shooting location was equivalent to a small teahouse, which added a layer of chill. Cheng Yi intentionally prepared coffee for the entire filming team, "I wanted to order milk tea, but it was too early and it was not open yet, so I changed it to coffee." After greeting everyone politely, he quickly got into work. The whole filming process went very smoothly, and after the early end, the rest of the time was reserved for interviews——he specifically ordered it. In order not to delay the filming team's packing and to ensure the quality of the call, Cheng Yi went outside the door alone to make a phone call. The initial question is relatively simple, so that both parties can get familiar with the rhythm of the conversation. It is a patterned process of answering: Please use three key words to describe your recent life. However, he broke some fixed assumptions, did not need to start the transitional stage of the dialogue, laughed twice, and soon talked freely. "The three key words are calmness, ease, and concentration." Then he took the initiative to explain the origin of these three words, "Because I have been filming outside for the past few years, and I don't have much time to take care of my family. After that, in addition to some work, I have more time to spend with my family. I feel very peaceful and have a simple but fulfilling sense of happiness. I eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, or fried pork from the farm, drink tea and watch TV with my family, or to take a walk. It’s very comfortable. And in such an environment, I can calm down to read the next script and learn something else.” This year Cheng Yi has three works broadcast, namely the historical drama "Imperial Age", the ancient costume fairy tale drama "Immortal Samsara", and the TV series "Draw The Line" about the rule of law. "As an actor, it must be a pleasure to meet everyone with works one after another, and the characters and themes of these three works are different, which is a breakthrough and benefit for me," he specifically mentioned about his grandfather's reaction watched the young Zhu Di in "Imperial Age", "I watched it with my family. My grandfather laughed when he saw little Zhu Di, and thought he was very lively and clever. He also said, isn't this when you were a child? When you were beaten, your face would look like this." Not convinced, very stubborn." https://twitter.com/chengyiarchive/status/1606915082038001665?t=tk-L6A78FMHS6PXIDPOIdw&s=19 "Imperial Age" is a work shot by Cheng Yi before. When he looked back, he smiled embarrassedly, "It will feel weird, and the acting skills were relatively young at that time, and many emotions and details were not handled well enough." But To be able to cooperate with a group of well-known seniors, in Cheng Yi's view, this experience is particularly precious. "At that time, I observed how the teachers acted and how to deal with the details on the spot, and then tried to use it in practice. I gradually found some ways to help myself stand up to the role." Including the preparation and filming of the TV series "The Bottom Line", Cheng Yi also felt that he had benefited a lot from learning, observing and contemplating from his predecessors. The foundation and fulcrum of the characters were gradually established in this process. "After reading the script, I didn't know much about it. After all, it was the first time I was exposed to a drama about the rule of law, and I didn't know the profession of a judge," until I went to a court for an internship, worked with real judges, and observed their words and deeds. Knowing their lives, Cheng Yi gradually gained confidence, "It feels like observing work and life, and then watching how the seniors acted during the on-site shooting, and learning in my heart." The whole drama of "Bottom Line" is rooted in real life, and it shows the process of trial and judgment of court cases in detail, allowing the audience to understand the situation and procedures of court cases through film and television dramas. It is undoubtedly very outstanding in the effect of publicity on the rule of law. On the other hand, it also allows the impartial and solemn judges on the trial bench to have real warm flesh and blood instead of rigid and cold trial machines, which is also of great help in shaping three-dimensional judicial characters. "When they take off their legal robes, they are ordinary people with flesh and blood, eating and sleeping like everyone else, and sometimes joking," Cheng Yi remembers. When he went to practice, the judges he met had a lovely and warm side in private. And once you stand in that position, you have to bear a huge responsibility, "Because his words may determine a person's life and destiny. This sense of mission has really impacted me. In such a profession that may be owed to family, relatives and friends, shouldering the responsibility of upholding justice and morality, They have to stand firm in the face of threats or temptations. They are really sad. So after I took over the script, I felt that I must act well so that the audience can see the different side of the people's judges, rather than a cold poker card/face." To a certain extent, the role of Zhou Yi'an as a young judge also made Cheng Yi realize what it means to "perform their duties" truly. "Every profession has its own responsibilities and missions, and works with realistic themes are relatively has more social significance. After I have played such a role, I feel that many things are in common, and if everyone can do their own things well, that is good enough.”
"Fairy Mentality"
Although this interview was just a phone call, and Cheng Yi's expression could not be observed, as the topic unfolded and deepened, many subconscious pauses or emotional outpourings became another small incision, forming a more dense source of information. After "Draw The Line" was broadcast, the audience's feedback gave Cheng Yi a lot of confidence. He also liked the fans' affectionate names for the character, which made the image of the judge more down-to-earth. "There is a lot of experience that can help in shaping life-like characters or other dramas in the future.” Asked if he had thought about transforming and broadening the role map, the voice on the other end of the phone was smiling, generous, and his tone gentle but firm, "Actually, I have not only been shooting costume dramas in recent years. I have filmed dramas with other themes that have not been broadcast. Although I have not deliberately struggled with transformation, as an actor, I definitely hope that I can act in everything." , I want to try any subject matter, the kind that doesn’t set a comfort zone or limit.” The homogenization of works and the facial profiling of roles are the results that every professional actor is unwilling to see. However, if you want to truly present the breakthrough results to the public, it is difficult to generalize what needs to be experienced behind the scenes. The production and broadcasting of film and television dramas belong to two different systems. The part that actors can control is only their own emotions in front of the camera. In the 11 years since his debut, he has traveled from north to south, and traveled to many places. Cheng Yi continued to talk about his experience during shooting, not only the works mentioned above, but also about other works and filming. Many memories are affected by some minor details Being triggered is an invisible evidence of his keen observation, solid memory, and thoughtful thoughts on others. "I remember that in previous interviews, I would also talk about personality, sensitivity and empathy. In fact, I am more sensitive to characters, and my personality is not like this." The experience gained from the exercise is reflected in real life, and more feelings are still "cherished". Cheng Yi's confession is sincere, "I will cherish the opportunity, cherish every attempt, especially when making TV dramas, there are not many opportunities to repeat it. If I don't meet my expectations, I feel like I didn't pass the exam. I feel very uncomfortable. But I can’t say that there will be another one tomorrow, so I have to do my homework in advance and cherish it even more.” Looking back at each of the characters I have created, it seems that a series of completely different life encounters flashed through. Due to chance, or maybe due to fate, Cheng Yi has played many "fairy characters" and "kings and emperors" who are detached from the world and have complicated experiences, including Zhang Qiling, who is "not a god but better than a god". In the public eye, get a lot of attention and exposure. However, using such a young carrier to interpret the god with a lifespan of thousands of years and the king who shoulders the responsibility of a country is lingering and weeping—how is the psychological construction constructed? Without thinking, he smiled and asked, "Actually, as you said, who knows whether there are gods or not, who knows what kind of mentality it is to live for thousands of years?" The expression management of emotions and anger is only the foundation, and the discipline of family and country can also be acquired through acquisition. But Cheng Yi's understanding of the image and state of mind of the gods is based on human thinking, "No one knows what a god is like, and no one knows what it was like thousands of years ago, so I think the most important thing is to let the audience see the humanity in the divinity." Love and loneliness, hatred and compassion as gods or emperors must be sensed, vibrated, and fully manifested with human resonance in a prescribed situation. Cheng Yi's recognition through the blood and tears of each character is the audience's chain resonance and feedback, "In fact, almost all gods are violating the rules, with human affection and character. When I got the script, even more most of it is to let the audience see this side of humanity, true temperament, and then be touched." Playing the role of Shura Wang Xuanye in "Immortal Samsara" is Cheng Yi's first villain experience outside of the orthodox gods. This character is the father of Emperor Ying Yuan, and Cheng Yi plays the father and son in the play, and the father and son are in different positions. He thinks it is one of his breakthrough shapings this year, "Xuan Ye is very confident, and always thinks that he is not wrong, but greedy. I personally think that I can't use a pure 'bad guy image' to deal with this role, because in each other's situation , there is no absolute right or wrong.” The script is just literal. How to perform it affectionately touches the heart, which has to test the perception and expressiveness of the actors. Cheng Yi remembers very clearly that on the day of filming, he was still wearing a protective gear on his left leg. After one performance, he immediately changed his makeup and hair before performing the other, and his emotions quickly switched. "The scene of the father-son dialogue was performed by myself. I talked with the director for a long time about the two characters, and made some adjustments and changes to fit the character’s state of mind. It happened to talk about the state of mind of the gods. You see, although Ying Yuan is a high-ranking god, he is also a person who needs love, he lacked the love of his parents since he was a child, and he has always shouldered the responsibility of the common people. When he really saw his father and mother, and heard the call of his parents, he was actually a child. That's how I understand it. Those expressions and touches are also a child. Human affection is revealed.”
Love and Fireworks
The segment where grandpa commented on the young Zhu Di in "Imperial Age" also appeared with flashes of warmth in the later narration. The recent associations about happy moments are all closely connected with family members. "Actually, there is no need to do anything special. The whole family can sit together, drink tea and eat, and feel very happy." When Cheng Yi mentioned these fragments of life, his tone was lower. "I went to Beijing when I was a teenager. I have been running outside for more than ten years. In fact, I owe my family a lot. So in the past few years, whenever I have time, I run back home, and I am able to take care of the family slowly, and I feel very content in my heart. " Also because of this gap, Cheng Yi began to chat about childhood, nicknames, and interesting things. Most of those small narrations are smiling, with a bit of pride and mischievousness. This is probably also the source of some of his qualities—he is completely wrapped up in the abundant love from his family, so his perception and expression of love are more sensitive and explicit. At a time when many people are ashamed to express themselves, Cheng Yi can show his sincerity and be full of fireworks, from small things and intentions prepared for staff or friends, to the processing and presentation of character works, he can complete every detail Tell and respond honestly. As an actor, this sharp awareness is a godsend. In the past few years, with the success of each work, Cheng Yi has been widely recognized for his delicate interpretation and steady pace. Under the gaze of a large number of publics, stories of past struggles are also widely circulated-but the significance of past stories is nothing more than that, and there is no need to repeat them. In his opinion, the tears and emotions shrouded in those characters are not pure "highlights" cut out frame by frame on the Internet. Which emotions are not handled delicately and layered enough. Acting is always an art of regret, and most of the pain of actors must be due to the requirements for the role." When asked how to do as much as possible in this endless artistic pursuit, to reduce regrets and not be defeated, Cheng Yi said humbly, "I have always said that I am just an ordinary actor. I am lucky to let everyone see my role, so I have more opportunities. If I have regrets, I will do it next time. I am more demanding, do my homework more solidly, and strive to have less regrets. However, there are still many outstanding actors who have not been seen for the time being, but they are still working hard in this industry. This also inspires me to continue to work hard. to do better work.” https://twitter.com/yoonsaeboms/status/1606900501844754432?t=IzDl3rciVhwNPgwF4KCutA&s=19 After removing this layer of arc light, Cheng Yi described his character as slow-heated and straightforward. Fortunately, it is faster to enter and exit the play, so it is less likely to be "backlashed/swallowed" by the characters. For him, the best way to digest emotions is to "sleep well." "Actually, I don't have too many worries, and there are no obstacles in life. I am a person, of course I will have emotions and difficulties. But I still have to shoot the next day, and I have to work, so I simply forget about it after I go to sleep, sleep helps digestion. Or I can be alone, think about it for myself, if I can’t figure it out, I don’t want to think about it, anyway, it will pass.”—— This is life beyond the arc, not the protagonist or buff, he has to face everything that is real. The sounds of children playing in the background and the horns of passing cars can be heard. Faced with the suggestion of urging him to go inside, Cheng Yi smiled and said that he was not cold, just looking at the scenery, looking at the rain, chatting while chatting, it was just right. He likes fireworks, and likes things that are real and life-like. "Like "Draw The Line" is very life-like and real. You can go after washing your face in the morning. The hair is cut like that. It was originally parted. Later I feel that judges are really busy with their work and don't have time to take care of them carefully. If you think it's troublesome, don't divide it, and you will become a watermelon head." He laughed "Watermelon Head" again, excitedly, and began to talk about how he showed Zhou Yi'an the trivial life of a young judge, and then talked about the rain scene in front of him. Slowly time passed like this, without urging, and he played freely-and from his perspective, it seemed that as long as he talked about performances and things he loved, time could go on and on like this.

Cover Story｜Cheng Yi: Inside and Outside the Arc
The actor Cheng Yi has completely preserved the senses and reflections that connect with life, and is also the focus of the fireworks inside and outside the arc and in the world.

"Imperial Age" is a work shot by Cheng Yi before. When he looked back, he smiled embarrassedly, "It will feel weird, and the acting skills were relatively young at that time, and many emotions and details were not handled well enough." But To be able to cooperate with a group of well-known seniors, in Cheng Yi's view, this experience is particularly precious. "At that time, I observed how the teachers acted and how to deal with the details on the spot, and then tried to use it in practice. I gradually found some ways to help myself stand up to the role."

Due to chance, or maybe due to fate, Cheng Yi has played many "fairy characters" and "kings and emperors" who are detached from the world and have complicated experiences, including Zhang Qiling, who is "not a god but better than a god". In the public eye, get a lot of attention and exposure. However, using such a young carrier to interpret the god with a lifespan of thousands of years and the king who shoulders the responsibility of a country is lingering and weeping—how is the psychological construction constructed?
Without thinking, he smiled and asked, "Actually, as you said, who knows whether there are gods or not, who knows what kind of mentality it is to live for thousands of years?"
The expression management of emotions and anger is only the foundation, and the discipline of family and country can also be acquired through acquisition. But Cheng Yi's understanding of the image and state of mind of the gods is based on human thinking, "No one knows what a god is like, and no one knows what it was like thousands of years ago, so I think the most important thing is to let the audience see the humanity in the divinity."
Love and loneliness, hatred and compassion as gods or emperors must be sensed, vibrated, and fully manifested with human resonance in a prescribed situation. Cheng Yi's recognition through the blood and tears of each character is the audience's chain resonance and feedback, "In fact, almost all gods are violating the rules, with human affection and character. When I got the script, even more most of it is to let the audience see this side of humanity, true temperament, and then be touched."
Playing the role of Shura Wang Xuanye in "Immortal Samsara" is Cheng Yi's first villain experience outside of the orthodox gods. This character is the father of Emperor Ying Yuan, and Cheng Yi plays the father and son in the play, and the father and son are in different positions. He thinks it is one of his breakthrough shapings this year, "Xuan Ye is very confident, and always thinks that he is not wrong, but greedy. I personally think that I can't use a pure 'bad guy image' to deal with this role, because in each other's situation , there is no absolute right or wrong.”
The script is just literal. How to perform it affectionately touches the heart, which has to test the perception and expressiveness of the actors. Cheng Yi remembers very clearly that on the day of filming, he was still wearing a protective gear on his left leg. After one performance, he immediately changed his makeup and hair before performing the other, and his emotions quickly switched. "The scene of the father-son dialogue was performed by myself. I talked with the director for a long time about the two characters, and made some adjustments and changes to fit the character’s state of mind. It happened to talk about the state of mind of the gods. You see, although Ying Yuan is a high-ranking god, he is also a person who needs love, he lacked the love of his parents since he was a child, and he has always shouldered the responsibility of the common people. When he really saw his father and mother, and heard the call of his parents, he was actually a child. That's how I understand it. Those expressions and touches are also a child. Human affection is revealed.”
Love and Fireworks
The segment where grandpa commented on the young Zhu Di in "Imperial Age" also appeared with flashes of warmth in the later narration. The recent associations about happy moments are all closely connected with family members. "Actually, there is no need to do anything special. The whole family can sit together, drink tea and eat, and feel very happy." When Cheng Yi mentioned these fragments of life, his tone was lower. "I went to Beijing when I was a teenager. I have been running outside for more than ten years. In fact, I owe my family a lot. So in the past few years, whenever I have time, I run back home, and I am able to take care of the family slowly, and I feel very content in my heart. "
Also because of this gap, Cheng Yi began to chat about childhood, nicknames, and interesting things. Most of those small narrations are smiling, with a bit of pride and mischievousness. This is probably also the source of some of his qualities—he is completely wrapped up in the abundant love from his family, so his perception and expression of love are more sensitive and explicit. At a time when many people are ashamed to express themselves, Cheng Yi can show his sincerity and be full of fireworks, from small things and intentions prepared for staff or friends, to the processing and presentation of character works, he can complete every detail Tell and respond honestly. As an actor, this sharp awareness is a godsend.
In the past few years, with the success of each work, Cheng Yi has been widely recognized for his delicate interpretation and steady pace. Under the gaze of a large number of publics, stories of past struggles are also widely circulated-but the significance of past stories is nothing more than that, and there is no need to repeat them.
In his opinion, the tears and emotions shrouded in those characters are not pure "highlights" cut out frame by frame on the Internet. Which emotions are not handled delicately and layered enough. Acting is always an art of regret, and most of the pain of actors must be due to the requirements for the role." When asked how to do as much as possible in this endless artistic pursuit, to reduce regrets and not be defeated, Cheng Yi said humbly, "I have always said that I am just an ordinary actor. I am lucky to let everyone see my role, so I have more opportunities. If I have regrets, I will do it next time. I am more demanding, do my homework more solidly, and strive to have less regrets. However, there are still many outstanding actors who have not been seen for the time being, but they are still working hard in this industry. This also inspires me to continue to work hard. to do better work.”

After removing this layer of arc light, Cheng Yi described his character as slow-heated and straightforward. Fortunately, it is faster to enter and exit the play, so it is less likely to be "backlashed/swallowed" by the characters. For him, the best way to digest emotions is to "sleep well." "Actually, I don't have too many worries, and there are no obstacles in life. I am a person, of course I will have emotions and difficulties. But I still have to shoot the next day, and I have to work, so I simply forget about it after I go to sleep, sleep helps digestion. Or I can be alone, think about it for myself, if I can’t figure it out, I don’t want to think about it, anyway, it will pass.”—— This is life beyond the arc, not the protagonist or buff, he has to face everything that is real.
The sounds of children playing in the background and the horns of passing cars can be heard. Faced with the suggestion of urging him to go inside, Cheng Yi smiled and said that he was not cold, just looking at the scenery, looking at the rain, chatting while chatting, it was just right. He likes fireworks, and likes things that are real and life-like. "Like "Draw The Line" is very life-like and real. You can go after washing your face in the morning. The hair is cut like that. It was originally parted. Later I feel that judges are really busy with their work and don't have time to take care of them carefully. If you think it's troublesome, don't divide it, and you will become a watermelon head."
He laughed "Watermelon Head" again, excitedly, and began to talk about how he showed Zhou Yi'an the trivial life of a young judge, and then talked about the rain scene in front of him. Slowly time passed like this, without urging, and he played freely-and from his perspective, it seemed that as long as he talked about performances and things he loved, time could go on and on like this.

"It's cold outside, but it's also very comfortable." Because you can see houses in the distance, rolling trees, and drizzle of rain. The meticulous insight into things is a rare talent of ChengYi, and it is also a very warm care.
Previously one of the Figaro team shared her experience working with ChengYi. At that time, the weather is pretty cold, but ChengYi patiently waiting outside because he didn't want to disturb the team in their preparation for the photoshoot. And finally entered inside when they are done. And his carefulness touched them because it is so rare to meet such a down to earth artist. Our baby is really sweettt!!!😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Aaah so cuteeeee!!!! GQ magz director share the tidbits, "Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, this part is really funny! Originally, I told Cheng Yi temporarily before going on stage, let's try freestyle balloon a little? There's no rehearsal. As a result, I didn't expect some balloons to have enough hydrogen to fly! Little brother Cheng Yi should have panicked for half a second at that time, but fortunately, he put the balloon away quickly and didn't delay the live broadcast process. It's so cute. His little face at that time ~"
