In 1993, Gong Li was 28 years old and preparing to attend the Cannes International Film Festival
Gong Li is an incomparable existence in the history of Chinese film, even if Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun appeared later. In her, you can see the creation of an actor, her performance, there is no trace of the director's manipulation, but as an actor and a creator, creating a work of art with the director and screenwriter.
In "Young Hannibal", Gong Li plays the "Purple Lady", Gong Li interprets the beauty of an oriental woman to the fullest, of course, only beauty, this character can not stand up, the Purple Lady contains the inherent qualities of firmness, tolerance and neatness, in Gong Li's play, we can all see.
The most impressive passage is Gong Li's interview quote, in which she talks about what is "sexy". Women tend to go to extremes in pursuit of beauty and drill the horns. Some people have only a handful of bones left in their bodies in order to lose weight and induce vomiting and suffer from anorexia; some people are happy to have a facelift, fine-tune, blink their frightening big eyes, and hold up a stiff nose.
Sexiness exists in human nature, it is like the aroma emitted when the soul stretches, if your life has no texture, then it is difficult for you to have a natural sexy charm. Everyone can get better, not that the effort to become beautiful is wrong, but that women should be good at discovering their own strengths, love themselves, and have confidence in themselves. If we can accept that everyone is born different, then we may be able to love our unique selves.
I really like Gong Li's analogy, a person who has no self-worth and can't find self-identification, even if you are a beauty, but you will soon wither. I very much agree with the idea that beauty is a gift from Heaven, and you can get many preferential treatments by virtue of beauty. But man is not a false flower, not an empty shell. I believe that everyone has done a struggle between spirit and flesh in the brain, and has had a percussion that touches the soul, and at these times, the appearance cannot give us the answer, and these deeper problems can only be solved by cultivating the inner way. Gong Li is right, if a person is suspended because of her beautiful appearance, then she will wither and lose the vitality and fun of life.
Work and life
Some people separate work and life, and Gong Li is also like this, working hard when working and living quietly. I think in the external form, you can completely separate them, but from the inner point of view, work and life can not be separated, they affect each other, in all aspects, work is not a part of life | life? For actors and creators, life (rest) can prepare for the next creation. Forcibly separating work from life, like a person's life, half seawater, half flame, I find it almost impossible to continue. Living with heart is working hard, working hard, and living with heart, after all, this is our life.
In Xiao Huanxi, YongMei plays Liu Jing, the mother of Wen Wanxianshu
In the movie "Long Days on Earth", he played the role of Wang Liyun, the mother who lost her independence
Wing Mei won the Best Actress Award at the 69th Berlin International Film Festival for "Long Time on Earth"
Perhaps in recent years, the public is more familiar with her because of her performance in the hit drama Xiao Huanxi, but I found that this excellent actress is in the movie "Long Day", her performance is not forceful, not exaggerated, a kind of expression of deep water. It's hard to summarize any strengths and skills from her, but as soon as she comes out, you know that her performance is good.
In the first two years, a large wave of middle-aged actresses expressed the indifference of the acting market to them: there is no drama, not valued, to sum up, is the plight of middle-aged actresses. At the Golden Rooster Forum after winning the 2019 Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, Yongmei also delivered a speech on the current situation of "40+ actresses", "The Power of Calm in the Wind and Waves", this topic is very much in line with Yongmei herself, she is a powerful woman, speaking calmly and deeply, reminiscent of "water", good as water, water is the weakest, but we all know that water has the power to overwhelm the sea.
She talked about reverence—reverence changed my posture, humbled me, and began to accept and admit that I was a fragile ordinary person who could not ignore the environment.
Talk about age - I will discuss with them, can my diagram be as untied as possible? If it is not repaired, can you not fix my wrinkles for me? That's how hard I grew.
Talking about self-discipline – the accumulated self-requirements and habits have made me appreciate its benefits and importance this year. So that I am not too addicted to the atmosphere of information and anxiety, a self-disciplined lifestyle will not only help you increase your balance, but also give you the strength to not be trapped and trapped in a crisis.
Talk about acting – you need to have your own understanding and interpretation of the character, the more you have to know respect, to find a balance between letting go of yourself and preserving yourself. So those traces of self-discipline come in handy at this time, they are like some kind of recoil, when you need it, have the ability to make me lower or hide, let the character shine her light.
Calm, low-key, ordinary, interpreting each character, completing the creation of an actor, this is what I see Wing Mei. She sets an example for every woman at work.
This picture, which has been on Weibo's hot search, shows the charm of the two women.
In this noisy era, there are many different factions, opinions and ideas, and it is a question of who we should listen to and how to live. Wing Mei provides us with an answer that can be referred to. The still water is deep, you just have to do yourself well, do not create contradictions, do not create opposites, increase your life experience, step by step in the work map, at the same time, maintain humility. Is it? Life is not so complicated.
In some things, YongMei does not go with the flow, she has her own opinions. Now very sensitive to the issue of women's "marriage and childbearing", most people hold the traditional view, some people say that women should marry and teach each other, some people are very dissatisfied with this view, determined to subvert the tradition, so they go around explaining the benefits of infertility. In fact, everyone's life is a different path, everyone faces a different environment and their own conditions, if you arbitrarily say which choice is good, this must be nonsense, and as a public figure, their choice and speech have a greater impact, so Yong Mei said that if you do not talk about this issue in depth, then she does not want to talk about this issue.
This is undoubtedly responsible, an actor, a success, the resources she has and master, how can it be compared with ordinary people? Therefore, not guiding the masses is the best choice.
Rao is such a Wing Mei, who has also experienced heart demons.
When a person is small, the hurt and unfair treatment they have suffered will become something that they will not be able to understand in the rest of their lives.
The mother's partiality to the boy and lack of care for her became the source of her low self-esteem throughout her life. We find more and more that most of them have different family problems of origin, and if we lack care for our own hearts, we may not be able to reconcile with them for a lifetime, which may be a subject of a person's life.
Gong Li and Yong Mei, at their age, I think they all live very thoroughly. Life is not only appearance and beauty, a person's inner doubts from birth will accompany old age, perhaps, how to let our hearts get rest, this is a larger and more complex problem.
Whether it is a celebrity or an ordinary person, the confusion faced is not different, and perhaps we can learn some life experience from these two actresses.
Happy weekend~
