A few days ago, I interviewed Xu Jizhou, director of the TV series "Glory of Special Warfare". During the chat, he talked about Guo Xiaoxiao, the strongest sniper in the play, "Lone Wolf". Xu Jizhou said that Guo Xiaoxiao is the best character in the original book, but It is also the most difficult role to find an actor. However, when the project was being prepared, it coincided with the hot screening of "Operation Red Sea", Xu Jizhou saw Jiang Luxia's interpretation of the heavy machine gunner Tong Li in it, and immediately told screenwriter Feng Ji, "We have a prerequisite for this role. , I have to find Jiang Luxia to play." He said bluntly: "I can keep this character and enrich her because she can complete this actor." 
Through Feng Ji's matchmaking, Jiang Luxia met Xu Jizhou for the first time. Xu Jizhou was a "spontaneous familiar". Jiang Luxia said with a smile, "This is the first time I have seen such an enthusiastic director." After the two talked for a long time, Jiang Luxia read the original novel of "Glory of Special Warfare", and she was attracted by the character Guo Xiaoxiao: "Guo Xiaoxiao is a very mysterious person, and the more I read, the more I want to know her. I am very curious about his experience. And growing up, under the appearance of a lone wolf like her, she actually has a very hot and warm heart. I am willing to approach her, and I am willing to be her."
The feeling of "settled"
But before "Special Warfare Glory", Jiang Luxia didn't have much experience in filming TV dramas, and the film duration was limited. Generally, the character modeling was more focused and extreme, unlike TV dramas, which could give characters more stages and room for growth. The shooting cycle of more than nine months, to create a character, "This time we need to draw a long front, and we must think clearly in advance about the different stages, different levels, different psychological changes and different character relationships of the characters, and do enough. Homework is the only way to fit in with the characters in the whole process of interpretation. For me, it is also a breakthrough and an attempt." Facing challenges, Jiang Luxia will have an instinctive competitive spirit, "Since there is more room for character shaping, don't waste it. , every scene is going to polish it, carve it."
Before joining the team, Jiang Luxia went to Shenzhen specifically to ask her classmates in Shenzhen for advice. Some of her classmates were special police officers, and one of her senior brothers was a sniper who had performed many missions. She interviewed several snipers, "I have a common feeling that when they look at people, their eyes are firm and sharp, and even when they are thinking, their eyes are bright, and they feel that their eyes can penetrate It's the same as you. And they feel very quiet and steady, but it doesn't mean they are not cheerful or enthusiastic." Jiang Luxia said, "Snipers can't hesitate and panic when they perform their tasks. Once you have identified a point, you must be strict. Execution. Between hesitations, he may have missed an opportunity to execute the mission, which could have been a big mistake and consequence for them.”
After learning through exchanges, Jiang Luxia established a preliminary understanding of snipers. She felt that snipers needed a lot of concentration, and she considered herself a person with "many distractions" in her life, who was easily disturbed by the outside world. But in the practice of snipers, it is often necessary to lie down with a gun in one place, specify a point, and lie down for half an hour. During the training, the instructor would even set up a cartridge case on the gun head. In the first minute, the cartridge case on Jiang Luxia's gun head would definitely fall off. "Because I would feel flustered and my hands would be shaking, my muscle control ability was not that strong." For this reason, Jiang Luxia has done a lot of meditation training. "After a long time, my mind will calm down, and I can slowly control my breathing. If I control my breathing, I can control my muscles and form a kind of muscle memory." In the end, Jiang Luxia can do it , Before the instructor called to stop, the shell of the gun head must be motionless.
"It was a feeling of being in meditation, and the time around me passed quickly." Jiang Luxia recalled, "Training is like a process of self-cultivation. You can slowly perceive the changes in your body and consciousness, and you will feel as if you can control it. That shell, the feeling and the gun become one, the mind becomes quieter, the senses become very sharp.”
As for Guo Xiaoxiao's appearance, Jiang Luxia also made a detailed design. As a female soldier, Guo Xiaoxiao is very different from Tong Li in "Operation Red Sea". In "OPERATION RED SEA", Tong Li has a strong personality, and she goes straight to each other, calling her brothers and sisters together with her comrades, even regardless of gender. Jiang Luxia recalled, "At that time, apart from sleeping, eating, training, and everything were inseparable with everyone." Moreover, Tong Li was a heavy machine gunner. In order to let the girl carry a crane gun and charge into battle, she had a lot of fun with the audience in front of the screen. Convincingly, Jiang Luxia gained about 15 pounds of muscle. But when it came to "Special Warfare Glory", Jiang Luxia believed that Guo Xiaoxiao's portrait in her mind should be thin, restrained, and even a little gloomy. For the role again, she lost 15 pounds.
This "closeness" to the character is just the beginning. After joining the group, Xu Jizhou's requirements for all actors are: try to unify the characters inside and outside the play as much as possible. "After we join the group, what kind of character relationship do we have, and we should try to maintain that kind of character relationship in our lives." Jiang Luxia said with a smile, "If the other party plays the villain, we can really see the villain. Strangers, even 'hatred in the eyes'."
And Jiang Luxia's request for herself is to "alienate from the crowd". Although she is introverted, she likes to be grouped. "Actually, I like to get along with everyone. Even if I say sitting in the corner of the crowd, I don't speak, I don't express, but I like to be lively." But as Guo Xiaoxiao, she began to consciously communicate with everyone. Keep your distance and reduce communication. She admits that she has not learned much acting skills, and sometimes needs some stupid ways to hypnotize herself to enter the role, "I use my method to force myself into Guo Xiaoxiao's lone wolf world." She said, "So sometimes I suddenly appeared on the set, and when I was chatting with everyone, they all felt very uncomfortable, thinking: Hey, why did you suddenly appear? I also feel very proud, and there is a kind of 'scheme succeeded' feeling."
Jiang Luxia introduced that during the filming of "Special Warfare Glory", the crew tried to restore the training process of the real armed police as much as possible: carrying stakes, eating bugs, shooting in the rain, fighting in the quagmire, and training prisoners. "The more you deduce this process, the more you can understand the real armed police soldiers, the hardships they train and the enormous physical and psychological pressure they endure, and the more you admire them from the bottom of your heart. "
For many people, these training and shooting are huge physical and mental challenges, and some people think that it is difficult for girls to complete such challenges. Jiang Luxia said, "I came to this group and I am a soldier, and I must strictly demand myself with the requirements of a soldier."
"I don't want to do something special. If you do something special, the state you show in the play must be unreal. I don't want unreal things to appear, then the audience will definitely have doubts, then I am not responsible for this role. Responsibility." She talked about how the instructors would sometimes be used as a role model to inspire others during filming: "Some group performances have not received professional training, and their physical fitness will be slightly worse. The instructors will use me to motivate those boys, Say, you see that Xiaoxia has worked so hard. He said that I have no problem, as long as I can bring some motivation and energy to everyone, I am also very happy. "
In the play, Guo Xiaoxiao, who is a female soldier, was once thought to be "must be weaker than the male soldier", but she won the respect of everyone with her absolute strength. This scenario is not an unfamiliar scene in the real workplace. "Although we shouldn't look at people with colored glasses, you can't control others, you can't control other people's mouths, you can only control yourself, you can only make yourself stronger. Regardless of gender, I think any Everything is based on strength. In any new environment, you need to rely on strength to prove: I can perform my duties and positions. If you are strong, brave enough, and hard enough, you deserve everyone’s respect.” At the same time, Jiang Luxia also believes that the real strength is to recognize yourself from the heart.
"I don't think I care so much about other people's eyes. From the role of Guo Xiaoxiao, I think she is very 'beautiful', that is, she can be different." Jiang Luxia said, "I am 'different' from you, but I still insist on myself , I'm not afraid to be different from everyone else. It's easy to follow the crowd, make your own choices, and be responsible for your own choices.
In life, Jiang Luxia considers herself to be very casual, and is always willing to cooperate with the rhythm of her family and friends, "How do you feel comfortable". But at work, she seems to have "obsessive-compulsive disorder", "I don't allow myself to be unprofessional or unprofessional. If I don't do a good job, I will be very regretful, so instead of regretting, I might as well do my best in the early stage. There may be regrets, it is a problem of my ability, and I will improve in the future, but I do not allow me to not do my best in this process, this is an unacceptable failure for me.”
That year, before the filming of "Operation Red Sea", Jiang Luxia injured her foot in three places because she went to the army to experience life. Because she was worried about the replacement of the crew, she didn't tell the director about it, so she forced a closed needle to shoot. For four or five months, he was carrying dozens or hundreds of pounds of equipment to shoot action scenes every day. "Sometimes I took a photo and I was soaked with sweat. People didn't understand the situation, and they joked: Your body is too weak. In fact, it hurts like crazy, but I just nodded and said I'm sorry, I'm still Lack of practice." The consequence of forcibly filming is the sequelae of habitual sprains.
She learned martial arts from a young age and became an athlete in a professional team. Jiang Luxia developed a strong sense of collective honor and competitiveness. There are hundreds of girls in school. "So in order to be one of the fifty or even one percent of myself, I have to do my best." At the most extreme, Jiang Luxia had a period of time, and she would suffer large and small injuries during training every day, and her hands were broken. The mouth was bleeding, but she felt that she had trained thoroughly today, and it was not in vain or in vain. "It's hard for me to explain the mentality at the time. I felt like I didn't make progress today without bloodshed. At that time, I was extremely eager to grow."
"Thinking about it now, it was wrong to be a little self-abusing at the time. You shouldn't push yourself like that. Now you will let yourself go and treat yourself better than before." Jiang Luxia reflected. Even so, Jiang Luxia was jokingly called by some netizens as an actor who "served military service in the film and television industry", and she laughed herself, "I think it seems a little more appropriate."
But at least, the profession of an actor has opened up a new world for Jiang Luxia. "As an athlete, the training ground and dormitory are two o'clock and one line, and there are not many other life experiences. But the profession of an actor requires you to have more diverse life experience and feelings." Jiang Luxia in the past always felt that time was precious, "I'm going to train, I'm going to punch, I don't have time to waste." As an actress, Jiang Luxia found that she needed more life experience. "At the beginning of filming, I couldn't even find the camera seat on the set. I was very confused and panicked, and I just followed the instructions given to me by the director." At that time, her "panic" could not be concealed, and she felt all her self-confidence. , all come from the belief in her own ability, if she is not convinced, she can't pretend anyway.
"Hit a girl", Jiang Luxia clearly knows, this is her stepping stone to enter the field of actors, and it is a plus point for her, "I always think that it is not a label, it is a recognition of me by the audience." In this door, she found that there are too many things to cultivate. "I hope that through my own learning and growth in acting, I hope that one day the audience will appreciate my action scenes and find that I have new growth." After the first play, Jiang Luxia went to the Central Opera as an auditor and asked her peers for advice, "The more I engage in this profession, the more I am in awe of this profession, I feel like a primary school student, and I feel that the performance is too deep, not like acting out joys, sorrows and sorrows. It's simple, the more you want to do it well, the more difficult it will be, it requires accumulation and continuous practice in your life." She began to like going out, painting, learning motorcycles, watching dramas, trying various new things, learning various skills. I also enjoy making friends more than ever, chatting and listening more. "Once I met a homeless man on the roadside, I went to the convenience store to buy water and bread for him, sat down and chatted with him for two hours. I found that everyone's past is like a book, all worthwhile. A place for our contemplation."
"I feel like I was an introverted 'roll' before, making myself stronger and stronger, but now I am opening myself out to feel the world. I have become more delicate, my life has become richer, and I have become more loving I have lived and am curious about the world. This is all because of the profession of an actor, which has changed the way I see and experience the world. This profession has completely released the emotional part of me." She said that she has Sometimes sitting at home, doing nothing, in a daze, and suddenly moved by "life is really beautiful".
"Now for acting, I feel that when I play a role, I can get close to her infinitely. No matter what method I use, I have to face the role sincerely and give myself to the role without reservation." This kind of unreserved delivery will inevitably lead to Leaving traces, Jiang Luxia felt that every role she played left a mark on her body. "A while ago, I had a dream one night. I dreamed that in the story of "Special Warfare Glory", I went on a mission alone. When I woke up, I missed my comrades." She felt that the performance It's like creating a parallel time and space. Every time you play a role, you create a "self" in a parallel time and space. When you come out of this play, that parallel universe continues to exist, and the characters you create still live in that parallel universe.

As Xu Jizhou said, Jiang Luxia is a very unique actress. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child. In 2004, she became the national Shaolin boxing martial arts champion, a national martial arts hero, and a national first-class martial arts routine referee. Her strong physical fitness and martial arts strength allow her to complete action scenes that are very challenging for ordinary people. The tenacity tempered by her long-term martial arts practice also gives her a unique sassy temperament. Before filming "Glory of Special Warfare", because of "Operation Red Sea", Jiang Luxia had already done a lot of military technical movement training and had a basic understanding of the professionalism and technical and tactical movements of soldiers. "Character, a natural fit.Through Feng Ji's matchmaking, Jiang Luxia met Xu Jizhou for the first time. Xu Jizhou was a "spontaneous familiar". Jiang Luxia said with a smile, "This is the first time I have seen such an enthusiastic director." After the two talked for a long time, Jiang Luxia read the original novel of "Glory of Special Warfare", and she was attracted by the character Guo Xiaoxiao: "Guo Xiaoxiao is a very mysterious person, and the more I read, the more I want to know her.
