The television series on the theme of reform and opening “The Time Cantabile” is currently being broadcast on CCTV. From the official launch of the first part of “Dajiang Dahe” in February 2018 until now, Wang Kai has spent 6 years interpreting the highs and lows of character struggle, and he considers Song Yunhui as one of the roles important in his life. From a child in a village to a college student, from the technical backbone of a state-owned enterprise to the head of a factory, the main character Song Yunhui grew all the way in the “Great River” trilogy. an unforgettable experience for any actor, and the filming lasts 6 years It also allows Wang Kai and Song Yunhui to merge gradually into one.

The final chapter of the story lacks the main character’s halo

“Dajiang Dahe” is the third part of the “Dajiang Dahe” series. It is adapted from Anai’s original novel “Dajiang Dahe Goes East”. This is also the last episode of the “Dajiang Dahe” series. The series “Afon Fawr” closely follows the fate of individuals and writes a history of reform and opening up. It does not avoid the contradictions and problems of the time, or the multifaceted nature of human nature. It uses the spirit of reform and opening up to reform shooting and opening themes The trilogy received 8.8, 8.8, and 8.4 respectively. Song Yunhui, the soul of the whole drama, is also considered one of the most representative characters in recent screen works on the theme of reform and opening.

In Wang Kai’s view, the fate of Song Yunhui’s character is like a winding and wavy line. In the first two parts of “Big River”, Song Yunhui had successes and failures, but the twists and turns were basically small variations, and in general. an upward trend. And “The River Cantabile” is a story about bottoming out. Song Yunhui in this drama is less energetic than in the past, and even a little scandalous. At the beginning, the character is transferred from the East China Sea to Pengyang to working As a pesticide factory Growing up, he had not only experienced a huge gap, but also faced various difficulties and setbacks one after another Song Yunhui helplessly stepped into the trough of life step by step, but still stuck to his original intention of hard work and leading everyone in research and development to bring the pesticide factory back to life.

In Wang Kai’s opinion, Song Yunhui is a growing character who has learned different skills at different stages of his life. When he first entered the factory, Song Yunhui worked hard alone. Later, he learned the power of uniting everyone. Gradually, he learned management and practiced his leadership skills. Song Yunhui did well for his own faults at every step. Let yourself become more. and more perfect and mature, like steel tempered in the fire.

Act as you will, let everything take its course

Wang Kai believes that many of Song Yunhui’s characteristics are very similar to his own. “When I first took on this role, I felt I had a lot in common with him. We are both children from ordinary families. We have no background and we rely on our own beliefs.” Persevere to the end. You will also encounter some help and luck in the process, and then you will realize your ideals and the value of life.”

While filming the first part of “Dajiang Dahe”, Wang Kai, who was already thin, lost more than 10 kilograms in order to get closer to Song Yunhui’s condition when he was a student. While filming the second movie, in order to reflect the maturity of the character, Wang Kai gained a little weight. In the third part, Wang Kai admitted that he understands Song Yunhui better and better, and feels that he has gradually integrated with the character, and everything is going naturally. “I can understand everything he decides and says. Song Yunhui seems to be a parallel ” Another me in time and space.”

In the first two parts, Wang Kai’s interpretation of Song Yunhui also had some deliberate designs, such as using his nose to cup his glasses. In the third part, Wang Kai no longer needs to start from the outside, but digs in and depicts the changes in the characters from the inside. “Song Yunhui for me no longer needs to make any deliberate design to make the audience remember him.”

Paying tribute to millions of Song Yunhui

From a young and stubborn college entrance exam student to a mature and wise leader of a state-owned enterprise with “almost no flaws”, the “Great River” trilogy draws a huge arc of growth to show Song Yunhui’s life path . Wang Kai believes that Song Yunhui’s appeal comes from the charm of the character, although he has experienced many things and been smoothed by life and society, he has persevered in what he should continue in. “I admire Song Yunhui’s spirit of never admitting defeat. He will take real steps for his ideals. Even if he encounters many difficulties and obstacles in the process, he will never talk about it.”

After spending 6 years with the series “Dajiang Dahe”, Wang Kai has accompanied and grown up with the characters. He lamented that it took 6 years for everyone to complete a particularly serious and excellent work, and this is a particularly remarkable thing. “We are like parts on a big machine. Everyone works in their own situation.” Every moment of filming will also give Wang Kai a particularly deep feeling, “Today, we can have such a happy life. Instead of using Song Yunhui , who refuse to admit that we have been defeated, we should make a film like this to record and pay tribute to the tenacity and hard work of our father’s generation.”
