Director of "Family heirloom": Qin Lan has a big sister in and out of the play.
Family heirloom starring Qin Lan, Wu Jinyan and Nie Yuan is being broadcasted in Youku. The play begins with the inheritance crisis of the Yi family, a department store giant in Shanghai in the 1920s, and tells the story of the three Yi sisters’ eldest daughter Zhong Ling (Qin Lan), the second daughter Zhong Yu (Wu Jinyan) and the youngest daughter Zhong Xiu (Zhang Nan) working together to save the family. A few days ago, Wang Wei, the director of the play, was interviewed by the media. In the play, Zhong Ling, the eldest sister played by Qin Lan, is gentle and tenacious. In Wang Wei’s view, Qin Lan looks like a big sister both inside and outside the play.

Qin Lan plays Zhong Ling, Yi’s eldest daughter.
Clothing: the three sisters cheongsam focus on different things.
Wang Wei admits that the style of the whole "Family heirloom" dress wants to highlight the cheongsam, and the modeling of the three sisters is basically based on cheongsam. Wang Wei said that for the costumes in the play, the founders referred to the old pictures, photos, magazines, movies, autobiographies of movie stars and other materials of the Republic of China. "After reference, we determined the feelings we wanted to express and visited the folk cheongsam collectors, referring to their collections; We also went to the Cheongsam Museum in Suzhou, because seeing the real thing will have a stronger and more intuitive feeling for the whole era, and it is easier to extract the emotional elements of that era than photos. "
The story of "Family heirloom" took place in Shanghai in the 1920s. Western ideas and styles have flooded in, forming a "Shanghai style" characteristic between tradition and non-tradition, which is reflected in the costumes of "Family heirloom". "In addition to highlighting the traditional China craftsmanship, our clothes also have some things that have been influenced by the West and have some feelings of combining Chinese and Western." Wang Wei said that the story of "Family heirloom" spans a long time, from the 1920s to the 1940s, so there is enough space in the play to show the evolution of cheongsam. For example, the cheongsam in the 1930s began to change from long to short, and the cheongsam in the 1940s was more self-cultivation.

Wu Jinyan plays Zhong Yu, the second daughter of Yi family. Her cheongsam contains geometric elements.
In the play, cheongsam is used to express the differences in personality and personal experience of the three Yi sisters. Zhong Ling tradition, Zhong Yu is arrogant and smart, and Zhong Xiu is romantic and lovely. In Wang Wei’s view, Zhong Ling’s cheongsam style is more traditional, and the structure of vest and gown reflects her graceful temperament, which makes people feel very comfortable and stress-free. Zhong Yu is aloof and arrogant, which makes people feel very distant. Her clothes are made of an improved cheongsam with obvious patterns, including geometric figures, an element of modern art; Zhong Xiu is naive and lively. Her clothes are just what little girls like nowadays. They are very fashionable and the popularity index is bursting.
In addition, the ornaments worn by the women in the play were also collected by the styling director from the retro market and flea market during the trip. At the same time, the crew also created a lot. "Like many geometric figures influenced by modern art, we used them to make some bracelets and earrings."
Role: Yi Zhong Ling and Xi Wei ‘an are "love before marriage"
The love-hate entanglement between Yi Zhong Ling, played by Qin Lan, and Xi Wei ‘an, played by Nie Yuan, became a highlight in the first half of the play. In this regard, Wang Wei revealed that the two of them are essentially a story of "love after marriage". "Zhong Ling has love for Xi Wei ‘an. However, because of the different backgrounds of these two people in the past, they have experienced a process of gradual love, which will become stronger and stronger later. "
In addition, the change of Yi Zhongyu played by Wu Jinyan is an important point in the second half of the plot. Although from the previous plot, Yi Zhongyu is an overbearing and willful character. Wang Wei said that this is mainly because of her misfortune in family of origin, she missed her early childhood love and will win it through some extreme ways. "In the follow-up story, Yi Zhongyu experienced the great difficulties of the country and the tolerance of the people around her, and the characters were constantly changing."

Qin Lan and Nie Yuan cooperate again.
Actor: Nie Yuan Qin Lan not only performed his own plays well, but also helped many actors to complete their roles better.
Talking about two actors, Qin Lan and Nie Yuan, Director Wang Wei thinks that both of them have assumed the role of "big brother and big sister" in and out of the play. "I know that they have cooperated before, and they are very familiar with each other, so they set up the play with ease. Although it was the first time for me to cooperate with them, we hit it off. They are very good actors. They not only perform their own plays well, but also help many actors in the group to complete their roles better, like the captain of the group, more like a real big brother and sister, and they are very friendly to people. "
Zhong Ling, played by Qin Lan, is the eldest daughter of Yi family in the play, and has been quietly paying for her family. The series has just aired several episodes, and many viewers are moved by this gentle elder sister. In Wang Wei’s view, behind Zhong Ling’s gentle image is a tenacious and responsible spirit. "The eldest sister is like a mother, and Zhong Ling did it." Wang Wei admits that Qin Lan takes care of the young actors in the group like a big sister in life. "She (Qin Lan) is an image of a big sister in and out of the play."
