The movie that Deng Jiajia is recently shooting, "The Guest from Sui Dynasty", is an absurd costume comedy. In this film, Deng Jiajia plays two roles: one is a modern online beauty writer, and the other is the daughter of an ancient general.
Deng Jiajia studied dance when she was young, but she never intended to develop in the field of art. Her favorite subject was biology, and her biggest dream was to be a gardener. When she was little, Deng Jiajia liked climbing trees and studying the state of animals. The small balcony at her home was also planted with flowers by her. However, the lively and active Deng Jiajia once accidentally discovered that the TV station was recruiting actors for performances in scenic spots, walking back and forth in front of the camera and introducing local landscapes. During the summer vacation, she participated in such a recording activity, and unexpectedly, she was not nervous at all when she stood in front of the camera for the first time. Deng Jiajia said that this might be related to her playing table tennis since childhood. Although her performance during regular training was average, she always excelled on the competition stage, which helped her develop good psychological quality.
Thus, Deng Jiajia occasionally participated in the program recordings of the TV station in her spare time from study, which allowed her to see different sceneries and earn some extra money. Unexpectedly, this opened the door to film and television performance for Deng Jiajia. During the filming of a program, she met Zhang Li, who played the male lead in "Swallow Li San". Zhang Li saw the potential in Deng Jiajia's appearance and personality and strongly encouraged her to study acting. Fortunately, at that time, the teacher in charge of admissions at Communication University of China was recruiting near the key high school where Deng Jiajia studied. Her appearance left a deep impression on the teacher, and Deng Jiajia smoothly entered Communication University of China.
When she was still in her senior year of high school, Deng Jiajia played the role of "Shijian," a character who dares to love and hate, in the TV series "The侠Ke行." In her first scene, on the cold winter day of the second day of the lunar New Year, she had to jump into Taihu Lake. Just for this scene, Deng Jiajia trained several times and soaked in Taihu Lake for nearly an hour. Under such harsh conditions, Deng Jiajia, with her good physical condition cultivated from childhood, did not catch a cold. The martial arts staff who directed her movements in the water fell seriously ill the next day and could not get out of bed.
After this experience, Deng Jiajia found endless fun in acting. She said: "Every time I read the script, it's like reading a novel. I like to bring the characters in my mind to life." For Jiajia, movies are one of her dreams. She said: "Movies make me pay attention to details, which helps my acting." The popularity of the movie "Ten Perfects Nine Beauties" also made her become the carefree and charming Nangong Yan in the eyes of the audience. In fact, Deng Jiajia's own personality is very different from Nangong Yan. In real life, she often stays at home, buries herself in books, and sometimes doesn't go out for a week. When portraying the crazy Nangong Yan, she felt like it was a release exercise in the acting course, allowing her to do all the crazy things she wouldn't normally do. And the shooting process of the movie was also filled with joy, especially the cooperation with William Chan. Especially when they were shooting the scene where they sat on a wooden bird flying, the actual shooting conditions were not perfect at that time. The wooden bird was suspended by steel wire, unstable, swaying, and even dangerous. Deng Jiajia was extremely nervous inside but had to maintain a pleasant smile. William Chan, who acted alongside her, sensitively noticed Deng Jiajia's nervousness and kept encouraging her in a low voice, calming her emotions. Even in dangerous situations, William Chan's first reaction was to ensure Jiajia's safety.
The movie "The Guest from Sui Dynasty" that Jiajia is currently shooting is a bizarre historical comedy directed by young director Zhuang Yuxin, whose work "Love Teeth" was once highly praised. Deng Jiajia plays two roles: one is a modern online beauty writer, and the other is the daughter of an ancient general. Performing the completely different feelings of these two characters is also an interesting experience for Deng Jiajia. The director is very meticulous in grasping the performance and emotions of the characters, even able to ponder over the different meanings of a single sigh. Deng Jiajia thus experienced the creative fun of shooting movies.
In fact, this is not the first time Deng Jiajia has played a challenging role. A few years ago, the shooting experience of an unreleased movie brought her many life insights. In that movie, Deng Jiajia played a lesbian, and many people asked her why she accepted such a role when she just started her career. Deng Jiajia believed that playing a character facing various problems, with an age span from 18 to 40, was a rare exercise opportunity. However, not everyone understood her decision, and various criticisms and speculations continued. Looking back on those days, Deng Jiajia now feels only gratitude. This experience let her understand many deeper things and matured her views on life. Actors need experiences, and Jiajia does not regret having this experience. What supported Jiajia through the shadow was her parents' tolerance and support.
For Deng Jiajia, her career is just beginning, and she is not in a hurry to be defined. In the TV series "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp," she played a female spy, another new screen image. She said: "People are multifaceted, as an actor, you should try as much as possible and amplify certain traits in your personality. For the role of the female spy, I am amplifying the wise and calm part of my personality." Of course, as a female spy bearing heavy responsibilities, Deng Jiajia must also show the tenderness and persistence of a woman. In the play, she and actor Du Chun played a couple belonging to different camps but loving each other. During the shooting, a very dangerous incident occurred. At that time, the production team provided each actor with a dedicated car. One day after the shooting ended, Deng Jiajia suddenly didn't want to take her own car and wanted to ride with Du Chun instead, without any specific reason. Du Chun agreed to this seemingly "unreasonable" strange request from Deng Jiajia. Unexpectedly, just after they drove out, Jiajia's dedicated car crashed into the rear of a large truck. The staff sitting in the seat where Jiajia usually sat suffered facial injuries.
As if protected by heaven, Deng Jiajia escaped a disaster thanks to her strange intuition. Indeed, Jiajia is a girl with sensitive intuition and likes to fantasize. In acting, she can fully immerse her fantasies into the characters, perhaps, Jiajia was born to be an actress, and her brilliance cannot be hidden.
