Mention Liu Chengyu's name, many people may not be familiar with it. She was born in Australia to an Italian father and a Chinese mother. In 2015, with no acting experience, she was selected to star with Zhen Zidan and Yang Ziqiong in the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Sword of the Green Hell", playing the female No. 2 snow bottle; last year, she fought Ma Yun in "Gong Shou Dao" and became the only actress in this star-studded film; in "Detective Chinatown 2", she played a cool and beautiful female police officer. Such a resume, many people are speculating about Liu Chengyu's origin, in fact, all this is far less complicated than everyone thinks, but it is not so easy.

I love taekwondo more than dance

When she was 9 years old, her parents asked Liu Chengyu if she wanted to learn dance or taekwondo, and she chose it without thinking, "It's my choice!" I like to learn taekwondo without being treated differently because I'm a girl, and I even have to learn how to deal with boys who are twice my size. The challenges I face when practicing martial arts make me brave and strong, and it is a good tempering of my will, so that I know discipline, respect and commitment. ”

The experience of learning martial arts since she was a child has made her childhood less unrestrained and dolly, and more of a crawl, but she herself enjoyed the process. It was the invigorating after overcoming the difficulties that made her more determined in her choice, "When I was in the black belt exam, I almost gave up. The exam process was almost 8 hours, I was exhausted, my face was whiter than paper, sweat even blurred my eyes, and I felt like I couldn't see anything clearly. Master told me that as long as I grit my teeth and insist, I will pass the exam if I don't fall. ”

At the age of 19, he starred in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2"

In 2015, by chance, Liu Chengyu participated in the interview for the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Sword of the Green Hell", "The whole process is also very magical. I was 19 years old, a first year of law school, had never acted before, and was busy with assignments and exams. An agent in Sydney found my picture online and suggested I do some flat modeling work. Then one day, he recommended me to interview Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2. I thought it sounded fun to make a movie, and then I had my first audition, my first acting. Three days after I sent my audition video, I flew to New Zealand to meet director Yuan Heping and his team. Everything is like a dream! ”

In fact, at that time, Liu Chengyu was still faced with a dilemma, whether to continue to complete the law degree, or to challenge the completely unknown acting career, in the end, Liu Chengyu still chose to challenge this exciting and unknown opportunity.

Thanks for meeting Master Yang Ziqiong

During the filming of the film in New Zealand, Liu Chengyu underwent a month of closed training in Yuan Heping's Yuan family class. As a pure newcomer who had no contact with performance at all, that month was very difficult for Liu Chengyu. "At the beginning, I was very anxious, because my life changed completely all of a sudden - leaving the university campus and 'competing' with legends such as Yang Ziqiong and Zhen Zidan every day. The tension disappeared after a few weeks and I fell in love with the movie. ”

It was also this month that made her a lot smoother in her future shooting, and won the favor of Yang Ziqiong, at the press conference of this film, Yang Ziqiong officially accepted Liu Chengyu as an apprentice, "In this shooting process, Master Yang Ziqiong's guidance and patience is a huge help to me. On the first day of the shoot, she left flowers and cards in my lounge to welcome me to the team, hoping to experience this wonderful experience together. She gave me valuable advice like a mom; joked with me like a good sister; and went shopping together on weekends like her best friends. I am very grateful to have met Master Yang Ziqiong in my career. She is a true heroine! ”

●●●●"Tang Detective 2" and Bao Qiang "mutual ridicule"

In addition to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Sword of the Green Hell" and "Gong Shou Dao", Liu Chengyu also participated in the Spring Festival movie "Detective Chinatown 2", in which she played a smart, confident and cool New York female police officer, "In this crew filming is very happy, everyone will laugh at my Mandarin, we will also laugh at Bao Qiangge's English, in short, we often joke about everyone's language, and then joke that our crew is particularly international." ”
