近幾年古裝劇大熱，中國古代四大美女自然成為拍攝熱點，《呂布與貂蟬》《戰(zhàn)國紅顏》《大唐芙蓉園》等電視劇相繼在銀屏播映，而飾演貂蟬、西施、楊貴妃角色的內(nèi)地和港臺美女陳紅、張敏、范冰冰分別在其中擔任主角，然而有關(guān)王昭君的電視劇卻并不多見，究其原由卻是苦于找不到合適的人選。此番由中央電視臺、中視傳媒股份有限公司等聯(lián)合攝制的30集電視連續(xù)劇順利開拍，出演王昭君的并非當紅一線演員，而是一個年僅18歲的、剛剛考入北京電影學院的大一女生楊冪。

為何這個小女生在選角中能夠擊敗范冰冰、李冰冰、高圓圓、李小冉、陳好等眾多女星而擔此一重任?她到底長得何等的天姿國色?筆者帶著重重疑問到劇組去一探究竟。

在現(xiàn)場，筆者看到的楊冪并不比其他的女孩有什么特別，她身穿戲服正在埋頭苦背臺詞，她早上5點鐘起床化妝，晚上要拍到次日凌晨5點，24小時作業(yè)，兩個拍攝輪流跑，可清瘦的楊冪依舊精力充沛，臉上毫無倦色。有時她也會有小女生式的撒嬌：“爺爺，什么時候可以休息啊?”她管叫陳家林導演為“爺爺”，有時也叫“姥爺”。此一稱呼說來話長：原來14年前4歲的小楊冪參演了由陳家林導演的《唐明皇》，她在劇中演唐明皇的女兒。直到現(xiàn)在她還清楚地記得劉威、林芳兵、李建群逗她玩的情景，陳導還把她抱在懷里拍了張照片。這次進《王昭君》劇組后，陳家林看到自己與她的合影，直呼世界真小。

楊冪以專業(yè)成績第一考入了北京電影學院，而且小時候就演了多部影視劇。她說：“小時候我爸媽有時帶我去兒童電影制片廠，我也不知道為什么老是被挑中演小孩子角色。高中時接拍過《神雕俠侶》，后來我考上了北京電影學院。”

幸運女神如此垂青于這位小女生，這與陳導想追求塑造一個清純可愛、外表少不更事而內(nèi)心卻要承負歷史重托的新女性形象密不可分。陳家林曾執(zhí)導《武則天》《唐明皇》《努爾哈赤》《太平天國》等眾多歷史題材的劇作，他認為：“大腕眼里已經(jīng)沒有童真、樸實，有的只是價位。我們要的是原汁原味的山珍而不是溫室里的花朵，觀眾也需要看到新面孔。我們希望挖掘演員本身的天性，而不是讓她刻意地演戲。”該劇制片人、監(jiān)制蕭鋒評價：“陳坤的這個小師妹清純得能讓人想到‘玉腮香凝，巧笑若兮，美目盼兮’，無論從哪個角度看起來都是那么賞心悅目?！睆哪壳暗呐臄z情況看，陳家林提起楊冪，就樂得合不攏嘴，連稱這孩子有靈性，形象好，還拿她和陳寶國等大明星的初次演戲的情景做對比，他甚至覺得她有點像奧黛麗·赫本。陳家林說：“小楊冪的眼睛里透露著單純，這是絕大多數(shù)明星少有的，我想好好培養(yǎng)她，希望她不要走彎路?！标惣伊终f自己批評楊冪時都很小心，就怕傷了她的自尊心。陳導還透露該劇除女一號楊冪為新人外，全部起用明星，并采用新老結(jié)合、以老托新的方法，巍子飾演牧羊人，劉佩琦飾演毛延壽，斯琴高娃飾演昭君母親，劉德凱飾演漢元帝，叢珊飾演皇后，此外，潘虹、劉蓓、王思懿、劉曉慶、宋春麗、翁虹等均已欣然加盟，眾星拱月，只為楊冪。

楊冪坦言當時被選中的感受：“自己像是被天上超大號的餡餅砸暈了頭，一片空白，不知所措?！鄙媳庇皩W院沒學過一天表演的她硬是演了王昭君，她憑著感覺演，她說：“走位不會，他們都會幫我，我們劇組都是好人。他們告訴我還要放開些，現(xiàn)在比之前好很多了，導演也還算滿意，我相信我能演好王昭君!”她還說：“沒有深入研究王昭君，很少了解她是怎么樣的人，只是知道她肩負民族之大任，是個歷史感極重的人。后來導演跟我說了戲之后，沒有讓我產(chǎn)生那種歷史沉重感。劇本就是從一個普通女孩子的內(nèi)心出發(fā)，描述了昭君小鳥依人一般的性格和單純的追求?！?/p>

王昭君在劇中和六個男人有感情關(guān)系，把她當作心愛女人影子的漢元帝(劉德凱飾)、睿智勇猛的呼韓邪(涂門飾)、為了自己所愛的女人拋棄了一切的張子先(張子健飾)、英俊瀟灑的雕陶莫皋(任天野飾)、有著英雄氣概的王盾(陳思成飾)、青梅竹馬的王懷(宋嵩飾)都對她情有獨鐘。特別是最后呼韓邪死了，王昭君又要改嫁他的兒子雕陶莫皋。在這六段感情中有真正的愛情、有憧憬之情、有愛慕之情、有兩小無猜的感情以及為了民族團結(jié)而政治聯(lián)姻的感情。楊冪說：“我才18歲，以前都過著很單純的生活，讓我一下子演那么多種復雜的感情，還真有點難。后來才漸漸地理清了這些關(guān)系：王昭君把張子先當作大哥，把王盾當作崇拜偶像，又把漢元帝當作父親，把呼韓邪看作一個優(yōu)秀的男人，對王懷是青梅竹馬朦朧的初戀，對雕陶莫皋有著真摯的愛?！睏顑绨炎约耗芟氲降?、沒想到的、能理解的、不能理解的愛情都演了一遍，大呼真累。對于不符合中華倫理常規(guī)之戀，楊冪也努力地刻畫了一個受到漢族倫理影響而又被迫接受匈奴習俗嫁給父又嫁給子這樣一段復雜感情。面對六個人的情感，楊冪有著自己的選擇：她希望選擇的是青梅竹馬的王懷，她希望擁有最單純的、最原始的愛情。

目前，楊冪是著名經(jīng)紀人李小婉與導演李少紅合組的榮信達制作公司旗下的藝人，16歲就簽約該公司。她考入北影前一直是小有名氣的廣告明星，她拍過的影視劇不多，著名的有《神雕俠侶》《紅粉世家》和央視剛剛拍竣的大戲《尚書房》。不過她形相清純活潑、氣質(zhì)溫柔秀美和可塑性強，已讓她逐漸從廣告商眼中的寵兒衍變成了影視劇導演眼中的紅人。榮信達制作公司很重視楊冪，公司給她爭取到的第一個電視劇就是《神雕俠侶》，且出演的郭襄是很討人喜歡的角色。公司在楊冪身上下了很大的功夫，目標是把她培養(yǎng)成“周迅接班人”。楊冪不負眾望，在各類影視中均能嶄露頭角，各類廣告也接踵而來，2003年與成龍合拍“勁龍摩托”廣告，與師兄陳坤合拍“互美”洗發(fā)水廣告及“暖優(yōu)雅”內(nèi)衣廣告等等。

或許年紀尚輕的楊冪目前還不知道“天高地厚”，或許真?zhèn)€是“福人多助”，反正楊冪說她一切都還順利，她說：“有些事情好像是命中注定的?！?/p>

18-Year-Old Actress Interprets Ancient Concubine's Emotions

By Zhao Handan

In the national craze to reinterpret the four ancient Chinese beauties?legends in television series， only Wang Zhaojun， an emperor's concubine of the Han Dynasty (206B.C.-220A.D.) who was later dispatched to marry a tribal chief in the western China's誷 border area， remained untouched for a long while. Many insiders have attributed the reason to the difficulty of finding the right girl to star the ancient concubine.

CCTV and its partners are now producing a television series on Wang Zhaojun. Yang Mi， an 18-year-old girl and first year student at the Beijing Film Academy， has been chosen to interpret the ancient beauty's story.

Many people wonder how the 18-year-old got the better hand of so many competing established actresses and was chosen for the lead role. They also wonder if she is really a beauty.

Yang is a beauty. She turns out to be an experienced actress. Her first role was an emperor's daughter when she was only four years old. She had starred in a few big-name television series even before she graduated from senior high school. When she showed the photos taken 14 years ago to Chen Jialin， the director of the current play and the play 14 years ago， Chen was amazed， commenting that it was really a small world.

Chen wanted an innocent girl to interpret the Han concubine， for he wanted to create a character who looked innocent and lovely and inexperienced， but was bravely determined to take the political task for the country. Yang Mi is the right answer to every strict requirement of the director. A director that has produced many blockbusters on historical figures， Chen says， amed actresses may not look innocent and simple. We want original beauty， not a flower in a greenhouse. What is more， audiences want to see a new face. We want to show the natural part of an actress. We don't want her just to aim at acting. The young girl's eyes shine with innocence， which most other stars lack. I want to do a lot to cultivate her and hope her career will be smooth.?The producer even believed Yang looked like Audrey Hepburn. Many celebrated stars will appear in the new play.

Yang still remembers the moment when she was told that she had been chosen as the prima donna.felt I was hit on the head by the godsend. My head was blank for a moment. I didn't know what to do.Though no theory on acting was rendered to her at the academy， she is acting out of instinct. The director discussed the character with her in detail. What she will depict is not the concubine's historical responsibility for the national solidarity， but her lovability and simplicity as an ordinary person.

In the play， the concubine has emotional entanglements with six men. Guided by the director， she gradually was able to understand and interpret the emotions which she had never imagined she would be able to accept.Outside the play， Yang comments that she believes in the love of the man who grew up together with the little girl and that she looks forward to a sort of pure and original love.

Right now， the 18-year-old has a contract with a company and has appeared in a few big-time TV commercials.

Yang Mi is not worried about her future. Probably she does know little about the worldly affairs， or she is a lucky girl whom many people would go out of their way to help on her way to big stardom. But no matter which is true， she says she enjoys everything right now and comments that many things seems to be predestined.
