"Silent Witness" Yang Zi challenges a female role for the first time


Yang Zi talks about the experience of "beating women": After entering the group, he was beaten every day, but the play was very enjoyable 


At the premiere of "Silent Witness", Yang Zi talked with the audience about her first experience of "beating a woman" in her life: "When I first came into contact with this film, I knew that the male lead was the actor Zhang Jiahui, and I said at that time: I want to act. After reading the script, I liked this movie and the role of Jolene more. She is not a decoration in the plot, she has her own personality, she is an attractive woman with her own sexy side. I have never tried such a role, so I must try it." Yang Zi also admitted that this role is a breakthrough for herself, and it is not a small challenge.


Yang Zi used to be rightforensic doctorYang Zi didn’t know much about this profession, so Yang Zi even asked a forensic doctor for advice and really experienced the difficulty of a forensic doctor. "At the shooting scene, there are some animal internal organs, which will give off a very sour smell after more than ten hours of shooting. At that time, I was thinking that real forensic doctors will face these every day, even decomposing corpses. I feel that this profession is very sacred, and I respect this profession very much."


"Beating a girl" is Yang Zi’s second challenge to this character. Although Yang Zi has also had martial arts scenes in costume dramas, it is very different from the close-up combat in crime films. Yang Zi said: "This is the first time I have challenged a character that is very different from the past, especially in the fighting scenes. If I use a double or only practice’flower tricks’, it will look very fake in the camera, so every fight scene you see is really me being beaten." When asked if she suffered a lot and suffered a lot of injuries during the filming process, Yang Zi said: "At the beginning, the director told me that there were a lot of fighting scenes, and I was very excited. As a result, after entering the group, they will be beaten every day and often injured, but everyone is the same at the scene, so there is nothing special. "


Yang Zi staged the most suffocating desperate situation


40 seconds suffocation counterattack, Yang Zi’s acting was well received

In the film, the intern female forensic doctor Jolene brought a series of wonderful fighting scenes in order to protect the evidence, which was a pleasant surprise to those who were familiar with Yang Zi.

A senior film critic commented on Yang Zi’s performance, saying: "When I first walked into the theater, I was still sweating for Yang Zi, because the people who played with her were all actors and actresses. However, after watching the entire 90-minute movie, Yang Zi gave me a different feeling. Instead of procrastination and youth, her play looked very familiar, and she didn’t lose at all when she played with these experienced and thick actors. Those 40 seconds of suffocating acting made my heart rise to my throat, which was awesome."


One screenwriter said: "Yang Zi’s fighting scenes were very enjoyable to me, and she had a good grasp of the characters. When she faced an opponent like Ren Xianqi who was stronger and better than her, she was afraid, which is in line with the logic of a normal person. But when she was really fighting, she was calm and smart, and she would use the facilities around her to assist herself. She showed all the characteristics of Qiao Lin, a female forensic doctor, and let me see a different Yang Zi."


Playing with the best actor, he was recognized for his acting skills and dedication

Playing with acting-class actors has put a lot of pressure on Yang Zi, who is starring in a big movie for the first time. But Yang Zi has won the approval of the director and the stars Zhang Jiahui and Ren Xianqi for her professionalism, hard work and acting skills.Renee Haring, the director, said: "Although Yang Zi is very young and has not made this kind of film before, she has proved with her actions that she is indeed the best choice for this film."


Zhang Jiahui said in an interview: "The filming process of this drama was very hard, but everyone was very professional. Especially Yang Zi, I was really touched by her hard work and hard work. Many of our fights were real fights. She didn’t lose at all, and she refused to use a double. She did it all by herself. It was really dedicated."


Ren Xianqi, who has a lot of fights with Yang Zi, also praised her: "During the 40-second neck-choking scene, I was a little worried that she wouldn’t be able to bear it, so I didn’t have the heart to use force during the shooting. Yang Zi held her breath for 40 seconds, and I clearly felt that Yang Zi was already very uncomfortable at that time, but she persisted until the director called to stop. There was another scene where Yang Zi was afraid that I would fall on the glass cabinet, and the whole person would be smashed, and the glass would shatter to the ground. Seeing that everyone was worried, Yang Zi insisted on coming to earth. I really admire her."
