3 Body Problem jumps across time like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Game of Thrones moved between continents. The HBO series from creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss began with characters flung to the furthest corners of its world, then slowly brought them together like chess pieces sliding into place. The cast of the new Netflix sci-fi series, made by the same pair in collaboration with seasoned TV writer Alexander Woo𒅌, is similarly sprawling, but separated by decades instead of the ꦯNarrow Sea.
Rosalind Chao and Zine Tseng bridged the gap, playing two versions of Ye Wenjie, a young woman coming of age in China in the 1960s who goes on to play a key role in the series' modern timeline. Crafting a believable character is challenging enough, but making a defined personality track across two actors' performances seems like it would take serious coordination. But when I spoke with Chao and Tseng over Zoom earlier this month, I found that wasn't really the case.
Tseng went first, and likened the experience of laying the groundwork to throwing "something really high in the sky" for Chao to catch. In Tseng's scenes, we meet Ye Wenjie in her twenties, recruited to work at a top secret research base after her father is publicly executed by the Communist Party during the Cultural Revolution in the series' brutal opening scene.
"Zine portrayed the character in a way that she had a contained strength that was very apparent from the very first scene. You saw with her father: she didn't run up to the stage screaming in the typical Western fashion," Chao said.
🔥 3 Body Problem Review - A Somewhat Successful Experiment
Netflix's new sci-fi series from the creators of ♏Game of Thrones and True Blood's 🌱Alexander Woo is fascinating and messy.
"Her reaction was very of that era and of that location. So I did try and harness the real me to extend into old age. And along with — you know when they do the gray hair and the wrinkles and the body and the costume along with — that actually does a lot of the work for t🔜he older character.ꦏ"
Though Chao has been acting consistently since 1970, Tseng had never starred in anything besides short films before being cast in 3 ꧂Body Problem, and remembers feeling♕ nervous when she began work on the show.
3 Body Problem takes its name from The Three-Body Problem, the first book of Liu Cixin's Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy.
"I didn't share any good news with anyone except the school that I went to that I had to quit; they had to know about it because they needed to know why [I was] quitting. So I let the school know," Tseng said. "I was insecure because they auditioned me via Zoom. It was a Zoom audition. And I remember being scared of being fired by the production because they didn't see me and they didn't know me in person."
But, she al♛so remembers Chao encouraging her over breakfast when she arrived in Spain for her half of the shoot.
"You came in and hugged me and said, 'Zine, I watched everything, I know you are ready.’"
