Summer is coming to an end, and the plot of "Chang 'an Twelve Hours" has entered a white-hot stage.

昨晚的剧情中，龙波和张小敬终于相见，密谋摧毁长安城的敌人龙波，竟是曾经九死无悔的第八团兄弟萧规，当年在烽燧堡上张小敬那一句“反正这辈子咱俩不可能是敌人”一语成谶。

花萼楼上，本意欲和圣人同归于尽的龙波听到圣人清清楚楚记着每一个战亡的将士，原本冷若冰霜、百毒不侵的他痛哭流涕，不能自已。When the audience walked into Long Bo's heart, it seemed that he couldn't hate this big villain who he had hated before.

周一围在接受凤凰网娱乐专访时说：“从专业层面来讲，坏人应该是迷人的。”In fact, he did show the complexity and struggle of Long Bo's character. In his view, traditional performance techniques such as accent, eyes, and lines are only aids in shaping characters, and the most important thing is that "only the truth cannot be broken." He said: "I'm not happy about acting anymore."

凤凰网娱乐：接这部剧的契机是什么？Is Longbo the role you want to play?

Zhou Yiwei: Because I have an old acquaintance with Director Cao Dun's team, I used to shoot a play called "The Cloud Herding on the Sea" together. This was a play after "The Herding of Clouds on the Sea". The director came to me and accepted it. The role of Long Bo was directly arranged for me by the director. In fact, I have nothing in common with Long Bo, basically they are different. There is not much overlap with his life trajectory, his choices, and his pursuits. But there is no choice. I still want to play Zhang Xiaojing (laughter).

凤凰网娱乐：怎么看待龙波和鱼肠的感情戏？

Zhou Yiwei: In fact, for Long Bo, including Yu Chang, he is not qualified to have extravagant feelings. Because you are ready to die at any time, and you have to use your life to make up for it, which can be said to sacrifice your life for righteousness. In the original work, Yu Chang is a man. I saved his life, so he wants to repay the favor. But in the original work, he was too functional. After the director adapted the script, he turned him into a girl in the hope of looking better than the book.

凤凰网娱乐：跟易烊千玺搭戏有什么感受吗？

Zhou Yiwei: In the original work,"Li Bi" written by Mr. Zhongma is not a teenager. All his words and behaviors are not ordinary adults. He is at least a 40-year-old social elite, an elite full of all kinds of plots and plots. Originally, I didn't think that a 17-year-old child who grew up in peacetime could play such a role. In the first place, he was not established and did not exist. It was conceived by later generations. Just like we sometimes watch children in some movies and TV dramas speak adult language. If we speak well, we will find this child really interesting. Just like Mishi Nara, he is not like a child. But with such a rich traditional culture of China, what a genius or a prodigy in officialdom needs to possess is too complicated.

At that time, I had just finished shooting my first scene with Lao Cao, and I told him that I felt very good. When he (Yi Shou Qianxi) stood there, he (Li Bi) looked quite like him. He was very calm and completed this role well.

凤凰网娱乐：观众说你把反派演的很性感，怎么看待这种说法？How to play a villain well?

Zhou Yiwei: Actually, from a professional perspective, bad guys should be charming. So this is normal. We see that Hollywood villains are like this. There are no dirty villains, and the dirty villains are usually the protagonists. So I think this is a rule and this is normal.

In my opinion, if you want to play a villain well, you must do what Teacher Liu Bing said, only the truth is not broken, and you must treat a character sincerely. In fact, Long Bo is not a villain, how can there be a villain? Who is decent? Is power decent? Or are the garrison there decent? Play this person well and treat this person with sincerity and sincerity. So for me, to play a role well, truly understand what this person wants and give him a soul. He has his own philosophy of survival. If you put this thing into practice, people who have the same and similar experiences as him will naturally recognize it.

凤凰网娱乐：在揣摩龙波这个角色的时候你把重点放在了哪个部分？Eyes, lines, or some inner considerations?

Zhou Yiwei: The real value of Long Bo is why he returned to Chang 'an. What kind of stimulation did he suffer to do this? This is what I really want to help Director Cao express. For example, in the play, I spoke with a Persian accent, had a poliople-like left leg, and usually had to play glass beads or something. These were just superficial things. What I am thinking about is not the eyes, not the lines, not the hand-eye-body movements, not the so-called performance skills, but some meanings within the larger framework of acting skills and the core of the character's existence. If this guy wants to survive, what is his soul that an actor should pursue? Everything else is an auxiliary. That thing can be pursued but not pursued. I am lazy and I will not pursue it.

凤凰网娱乐：剧中有龙波吃面的镜头，这次导演也很看重美食部分，拍吃戏的时候拍的条数多吗？

Zhou Yiwei: Eating theater has never been smooth, because eating this kind of thing should not expect the audience to see the same delicious food as what we eat. Those delicious feelings are all from the performance. Of course, the crew is trying their best to restore it, but the filming was not a real restaurant after all, and it is difficult to guarantee. Lao Cao really wanted to do this well and did restore Xi'an's delicious food as much as possible. For example, the fire crystal persimmon and water basin mutton that Lei Jiayin ate earlier seemed to make everyone exclaim.

Including a scene I had in "I am Not a Drug God", a scene where I smoked a cigarette. I smoked four packs of cigarettes, and the audience seemed to only take a few puffs of one cigarette. In order to make the audience look like they had smoked a few puffs of a pack of cigarettes, the scene smoked a whole four packs. What's the concept? The four packs of cigarettes were 80 cigarettes, and the 80 cigarettes eventually turned into only one cigarette in the camera.

凤凰网娱乐：剧中给你印象最深刻的角色是？

Zhou Yiwei: I think it is Cui Qi, who has been criticized the most by the audience. His harelips and his smiling expression are actually very much recognized by Director Cao and I. We think this design is very valuable and is a very characteristic character. He is not a person who makes the audience happy, but a person who follows the audience. He is afraid of death. He does not do everything for justice, but for a Chang 'an household registration. So when he makes many choices, he is different from Mr. Batman. He will drag him down and make the audience hate him. How can this thing be presented? This smiling face, always pouting lips, and always more annoying expressions are all the results of an actor's careful design.

凤凰网娱乐：剧中有没有什么是让你特别享受的？

Zhou Yiwei: I'm not happy about acting for a long time. I keep playing different people. Some people will say that I play well, and others will say that I play poorly. I don't care about this now. What I value most is what this character is expressing. I often chat with Director Cao, why did you turn fish intestines into a woman? Why do you set up an emotional line that seems to be similar to Long Bo? What do you think? How will it help your entire play? Why do you still design the seemingly emotional line between Wen Ran and Zhang Xiaojing? We will focus more on discussing these things. I really don't care about the so-called acting skills now. Of course, if we have good energy, we should greatly promote the matter of acting skills and praise them greatly, but my energy is not on this now.

凤凰网娱乐：身边的朋友是怎么跟你聊这部戏的？

Zhou Yiwei: Most people are applauding the table, and basically no one is picky. Because I know that it is not easy to shoot, unlike some scenes that may say that some things can be filmed better, everyone basically no longer talks about this scene, but more talks about how you filmed it. Friends in the same industry were still amazed. People in the industry knew that other things were not easy, so they recognized it.
