The new version of ＂Volleyball Woman＂ is a hot shot of ＂plot against＂ girl Yu Na as Lang Ping.
Yu Na resembles Lang Ping when he was young?
Be meticulous in filming
Changjiang Daily News Many viewers in China still remember the Japanese TV series Volleyball Girl introduced by CCTV in 1983. Junko Little Deer, the "Volleyball Girl" who ran a horse race, deeply shocked the hearts of a generation. Today, more than 20 years later, at the moment when the "2008 Beijing Olympic Games" is about to be unveiled, the 20 episodes of the youth inspirational drama Volleyball Woman directed by the famous director Junkai Zhao are currently being shot in Wuhan. The Volleyball Woman is based on the ten-year story of China women’s volleyball team rising from the bottom in 1994 to 2004. In these ten years, the older generation women’s volleyball team has created a miracle of five consecutive championships. The female prototype No.1 played by supermodel Yu Na is Lang Ping.
The Volleyball Woman tells the story of Sheng Xiaomei who is forced by her family to practice volleyball by mistake. Sheng Xiaomei became a monk halfway, but her excellent physical condition laid the foundation for her to become the main attacker of the national team. In the city sports school, Sheng Xiaomei and her friend Li Xueli went through all kinds of hardships, changing from friends to competitors, and their careers have experienced ups and downs. In the end, Li Xue, who became the captain of the national women’s volleyball team, led all the players to win the Olympic tickets and win the Olympic gold medal that had been lost for 20 years.
According to director Junkai Zhao, The Volleyball Woman is based on the 10-year story of China women’s volleyball team’s rise from the trough from 1994 to 2004. In these 10 years, the spirit of women’s volleyball team’s rise from the trough is the most powerful, and the older generation of women’s volleyball team has created a miracle of five consecutive championships. Therefore, the China version of Volleyball Woman is a group portrait of the women’s volleyball team, which not only focuses on Sheng Xiaomei, but also shows the setters, coaches and women’s volleyball players who lost the national team. The whole drama shows the team spirit of the women’s volleyball team in China.
On the set, the reporter saw that each actor’s body was covered with bruises, but they couldn’t take care of them. They were divided into two groups and practiced smash and block on both sides of the volleyball court. In another corner, Yu Na was shooting a shot of being knocked down by volleyball, only to see the coach slamming the ball on Yu Na, and then Yu Na was knocked to the ground. The shooting angle can’t be in place at one time, so I have to do it again and again. After repeated times, I finally found the right angle. The ball flew on Yu Na again, and the director said, Yu Na was lying on the ground, too tired to get up for a long time.
After a short rest, we then filmed a scene in which the two sides fought each other, and Yu Na became the main attacker again. I saw that she jumped up and spiked, and each stroke was quite lethal. Yu Na said, this is a women’s volleyball play, of course, it is worthwhile to carry forward the spirit of women’s volleyball, and it is worthwhile to suffer a little. However, the feeling of spiking is really great.
Yuna: Play Lang Ping from scratch.
The audience who have seen the plot against me must be deeply impressed by the beautiful, hot and outspoken Tang Yina in the play. What will happen if Tang Yina becomes a volleyball woman? When I met Yu Na, the actor of "Tang Yina", she was filming "playing ball" by the volleyball net over and over again, only to see that she was knocked down by the volleyball flying out of the coach’s hand again and again, and the sweat soaked the floor of the venue. When the director saw that she was panting, he called to stop and let her have a rest. During this gap, the reporter chatted with Yu Na.
In many plays, such as Save You with What, My Love, One Meter of Sunshine, The Taste of Summer, and The Assassination, Yu Na’s appearance gives people a feeling of softness and weakness. At this time, she is dressed as a volleyball player, and she is naturally dashing. Yu Na said that in order to play the role of Sheng Xiaomei, she specially participated in a month of intensive training and practiced volleyball from scratch.
The reporter saw that Yu Na had bruises on his arms and legs. Yu Na said that they were all left by practicing the ball. At first, he felt pain, but later he became numb. However, compared with the return, the injury was worth it. Through training, she has mastered the basic essentials of movements, which is absolutely guaranteed technically. Every day, professional volleyball players from provincial sports teams teach her by hand, but when encountering difficult movements, professional players will do body double. Yu Na said: "I like Lang Ping since I was a child. I always watch Lang Ping play ball. I still remember her nickname’ Iron Hammer’. The prototype of the role of Sheng Xiaomei I played is Lang Ping."
Speaking of the gap and bitterness between actors and models, Yu Na said: "Models are only in contact with the fashion frontier, expressing the state, but acting is not. To create different roles, you need to have a life experience that conforms to the identity of this role, and you can appreciate different levels of life. Actors express their feelings. Being an actor is harder than being a model, but after the filming, I feel a sense of accomplishment, just like leaving a souvenir. Although you will find many regrets when watching your own drama, you can find your own shortcomings from these regrets. "
Regarding the outside world’s judgment on her acting skills, Yu Na said that her mood would not be affected by others’ criticism or praise, because she was transferred from one industry to another, and she was still a newcomer. Her initial performance was definitely more natural and immature, and the improvement of her acting skills required a process. At present, it is most important to take every step well and steadily.
