Acting experience

Zhan Ruiwen pointed out that the wireless entertainment news station was unprofessional in the stage play, and he was blocked by wireless after imitating Chen Zhiyun on the stage. Therefore, after being interviewed by Yuan Jiamin, Zhan Ruiwen said: "until now, wireless did not interview me. In those years, he talked with wireless about cooperative children's programs. Later, I acted as Chen Sheng in the stage play, and the cooperation was interrupted." Someone's blocking you with authority? "I dare not comment. I respect the policies of every company." Take advantage of this period to talk about cooperation with TVB? "No, don't wait for the event to pass in the sensitive period." After that, Zhan Ruiwen said, "in the beautiful secret order, I'm playing Cen Zhiwen, a senior member of the TV station. The movie is on the line at this time, and the news helps us. It's God's will."

However, Zeng Xingming, deputy director of Foreign Affairs Department of TVB, denied that Zhan Ruiwen had been "unsealed": "entertainment news station sent its staff to interview that play and Junru. Maybe that colleague is relatively new. Entertainment news station has never interviewed Zhan Ruiwen and can't broadcast it because Zhan Ruiwen didn't respect entertainment news station. The whole thing has nothing to do with Mr. Chen Zhiyun."

As for Chen Zhiyun's arrest, Wu Junru sent his best wishes. "I know he wants to write an inspirational book. I gave him some advice.

Creating children's Drama

The children's musical "amazing! The witch is gone! 》(Cantonese version of the title "scam! The witch is so beautiful! 》）It will meet the audience in Guangzhou from May 28 to 30. Zhan Ruiwen appeared in the second children's palace in Guangzhou to introduce the children's play. He is full of confidence in the release of the play in the mainland, and vowed to make it a "Chinese version of Harry Potter". Build "Chinese version of Harry Potter"

How wonderful! The witch is gone! 》(Cantonese version of the title "scam! The witch is so beautiful! 》）This stage play can be called Zhan Ruiwen's classic work. It was created in 1998. It is the earliest children's play created by PIP children's theater, with the longest performance time span and the largest audience. It once performed more than 100 performances in Hong Kong and is the most popular stage play. "No" tells the story of a naughty child Maomao who accidentally enters the magic world and is caught by bad wizard baddie and almost put into the ugly soup to make the magic world ugly. Fortunately, Maomao was rescued by goodie, a good wizard, and set foot on the road of looking for Liangliang, a powerful witch, to defeat baddie. The play eliminates the boring preaching way, the story is interesting, vivid and exciting, full of imagination, and integrates a variety of rich elements such as magic, pantomime, song, dance, lighting illusion and so on. The most special part of the play is that the interaction between the stage and the audience is very lively. There are many links that need the cooperation of the children. As the artistic director and director, Zhan Ruiwen will also perform the role of "magic mirror" in the play. In order to let more audiences enjoy the play without language barrier, the play is adapted from Cantonese to Putonghua, but it is still full of strong local culture of Guangdong and Hong Kong. Zhan Ruiwen is full of confidence in the release of the play in the mainland, and vowed to make it a "Chinese version of Harry Potter".

Twins also uses "PIP"

Zhan Ruiwen stressed, "no! The witch is gone! 》It's not only a play, but also a trial of the drama concept of "PIP" (pleasure, imagination, play game): "I hope that children and parents in Guangzhou can understand the charm of PIP through this play. It's not a traditional slogan way to teach children the truth, but let them develop their intelligence in the process of playing and being happy, and realize their potential Play it out. " Zhan Ruiwen, who is known as a drama master in Hong Kong, said that "PIP" has a wide range of applications. Even many of his star apprentices, such as Ajiao, ASA and Liang Luoshi, are the beneficiaries of "PIP": "what actors learn from me is not acting skills, but how to give full play to their strengths and let them explore their truest and most natural aspects."

Teach students to open classes in Guangzhou

How wonderful! The witch is gone! 》At present, it has not yet been released. Zhan Ruiwen has auditioned the segments of the play in many children's palaces in Guangzhou. The parents and children who participated in the audition have a warm response. "With the promotion of the play, there are a lot of my disciples and grandchildren in the children's palaces now." He also revealed that starting from this summer vacation, he will set up a "PIP" training course in Guangzhou. The first step is to launch a course for children to explore and cultivate future performing stars. As a "Star" tutor, Zhan Ruiwen also boldly offered a "sky high price": 500000 yuan. He explained: "this is the charge for the top courses. I will tailor a training course for him. A group of courses will last for three months. So my requirement for students is: dare to pay tuition! My fees are really high. Ordinary courses are also charged by the hour. This is a requirement for me. I will teach the best to the students. " Can you afford to be a student of Zhan Ruiwen? He denied: "this student needs to have a strong willingness to learn from me and hope to play his potential, so I will accept him. If it's aimed at "Zhan Ruiwen's Apprentice" or want to be a big star, I won't accept it. "

Talking about life with laughter

Wen Jun once called him "the king of comedy of the new generation in Hong Kong". Zhan Ruiwen laughingly rejected the title. He felt that as a creator, this goal was too small for him. He was known as the "soul engineer" of Hong Kong artists, and all the big and small stars wanted to be his disciples. In the past seven years, he played a supporting role in 14 films, each of which lasted only a few minutes, but failed He received a higher salary than the movie king; he played the role of social sentient beings on his oneman show and offended countless senior executives and insiders

"I'm not a simple entertainer"

Maybe it's also the sorrow of other comedians. They will never be able to play an open and aboveboard figure. No matter how they shine on the stage, they are just clowns who taste the hardships of the world. Zhan Ruiwen's images in the film are all those poor and ridiculous little people who are struggling to survive in the cracks, from the double gun male in the movie "buy a fierce shooter", "the boss of the pornographic Internet bar in the big man", "the bank staff in Mr. Mo Dou" to the temporary lecturer in the "spring field flower classmate Association" and even the little policeman in the movie "king of drama" "I've been living in the bottom of Hong Kong for more than 40 years," he said with a smile

But it's these little people and clowns who have no poetry and beauty that make us want to stop. They easily stimulate our happiness, and their stubborn life style brings us more hope and confidence. With more than ten years of stage experience, Zhan Ruiwen has seen through this point. He understands his own strong points and the needs of the general public.

As you can see on the stage, Zhan Ruiwen's over changing image and his exaggerated but free flowing emotions make it hard to find the real him. You can call Zhan Ruiwen "the king of drama", but understand that he is far more than just an actor.
