Recently, the news of Liu Xiaoqing's calligraphy exhibition has caused a lot of controversy, in fact, cross-border is not a new thing in her place.
As a film and television actress, she not only likes calligraphy, but also loves to act in dramas, and once she performs for ten years, the total mileage of the world tour is equivalent to seven and a half circles around the earth, and she has created a world record for the number of stage plays without B-corner commercial performances...
Recently, she starred in "Magnificent Style" and "Wu Zetian" to open a new round of performances, before embarking on the tenth year of drama performance, she and Yi Xuanjun chatted about how she was forced to step onto the drama stage, and what sour, sweet and bittersweet experienced in the past ten years.
Since 2012, at the end of each year and the prime time at the beginning of the year, Liu Xiaoqing has spent time with a large family, and these family members are the Tianjin people who have cooperated with her to perform the dramas "Fenghua Dynasty" and "Wu Zetian".
"When I first took over "Magnificent Style", I was really forced to be helpless, and Liu Zhongkui, the boss of Dragon Century, was my good friend, and every year he said that he wanted to cooperate with me, either to open a concert or a film festival, and finally to speak of a drama, saying that for many years, once simply called the producer Li Dong and the director Tian Qinxin to talk together." Liu Xiaoqing said that when he first acted in a drama, he only hindered the face of his friends and planned to be a ticket friend.
"In fact, acting in drama is not flattering at all, the money earned is small, and the people who watch it are still experts, you have to demand yourself in all directions, the image, voice, lines, and shape are good, and you have to have physical strength." It seems that Sister Xiaoqing seems to be awake in the world.
However, what she did not expect was that after acting, she felt "really fragrant".
"Who knew that it was so popular, and soon won the world record for the most performances of the drama without B-horns." After success, you will feel that it is a pity not to act! She said.
Unlike film and television dramas, when performing stage plays, the actors and the audience are in the same space, and they can feel each other's breathing and emotional changes, and this communication also fascinates her. Liu Xiaoqing said that when "Magnificent Style" was performed at the Beijing Renyi Capital Theater, her fans originally entered the scene with glow sticks and prepared to respond to the scene, but because they were attracted by the performance, they did not take out the glow sticks until the end of the performance.
This success is naturally not accidental, with director Tian Qinxin escorting, and there is a strong team of Tianjin people, not to mention Liu Xiaoqing himself is also very hard. Tian Qinxin once said that she was quite hard in rehearsal, sweating in the rehearsal hall every day, and did not dress up, that is, the script did not leave her hand, the lines did not leave her mouth, and the requirements for herself were particularly high. It is precisely because of her persistence that Tian Qinxin did not set up a B corner for this role.
"Since acting in a play, I can't get sick or get hurt." Liu Xiaoqing said that when he performed 100 performances, he felt that he was completely fighting with his body, and he simply cried when he ended the curtain.
Acting in film and television dramas, Liu Xiaoqing is undoubtedly familiar with it. But on the drama stage, she was still a newcomer, encountering many unimaginable difficulties, "the curtain opened, everything was controlled by me, and I would be afraid at the beginning." ”
"Wu Zetian" a play she has more than 70,000 words of lines, at that time her nightmares are always related to the performance, "often dream of standing on the field, can not remember the first line, woke up herself, only to find that it is a false alarm." ”
This is the case in dreams, and there is often anxiety in the performance. Once, when she was putting on makeup before the performance, Mao Geping, who gave her makeup, saw that she was too relaxed and said to her, "Get nervous, be careful of forgetting words!" After putting on makeup, Mao Geping left, leaving only her anxious. When she stood on the side of the curtain waiting for the scene, another actor asked her, "Sister Xiaoqing, are you nervous?" I'm so nervous! As a result, I became nervous again, not to mention the pain in the first half of the performance, and I quickly ate nitroglycerin that stretched my blood vessels during intermission.
Once, when I was performing in Nanjing, I had a cold, my voice was dumb, and I coughed on stage, because no one could top it, so I could only whisper my lines and turn the microphone volume to the maximum. "The audience was so nice, they waited quietly when I coughed, and when I finished coughing, they applauded me."
Because of the pressure on her body, she had to prepare for the new drama "Wu Zetian", and in 2015, she planned not to perform "The Magnificent Era" and performed at the Poly Theater in Beijing. During the performance, she sometimes shed tears because of the needs of the plot, and sometimes because she wanted to leave the stage.
However, in the end, she broke her word. Not only did it return to the world of "Sai Jinhua", but it also began a more intense double drama continuous performance mode.
Over the years, the two dramas have traveled almost all over the country, and have traveled to the United States, Canada, and Australia for overseas tours many times, and the total mileage can be calculated to circle the earth seven and a half times.
Around the world, "Sai Jinhua" and "Wu Zetian" have received a lot of applause. But Liu Xiaoqing believes that these applause do not belong only to themselves, "People may start because I walked into the theater, but they can watch it, and we can perform for ten years or because the play itself is good." ”
These two plays are actually tailor-made for her who has always been a "big heroine", Sai Jinhua's line, "I am extremely popular, even if my life is up and down, I can't stop my light, the light of my generation of new women." "Why isn't she talking about herself?" She also said that sometimes when acting, you can't tell whether you are acting or talking about yourself, "Your life and drama are completely integrated, and both plays have this feeling, as if you are not acting but crossing into the play." "It's probably such a wonderful feeling that allowed her to hold out for so long!"
She said that she has gained a lot in every work, seeing that there are many good actors in China, "Some people only have one line or one word of line, they have to think about it many times, see they will feel that they have no reason to give up, after the drama and then make a movie, I have to shoot a story." ”
At the end of the show, she would often kneel down on one leg to thank the audience, which impressed many audiences. "Because the audience is too good, how much does an audience have to pay to see you perform a drama, the field needs air tickets and high-speed rail tickets, but also to book a hotel, even if it is in Beijing, the audience has to catch a long way, so every audience who comes to the scene deserves respect, and then he will sincerely appreciate this drama, it can be said that there is no drama without the audience." Sometimes, she often asks herself, "Liu Xiaoqing, how can you be so popular?" ”
One decade is here, and the next one is about to begin. Now "Fenghua Dynasty" has been performed 216 times, "Wu Zetian" has also performed 105 times, and Liu Xiaoqing has made an appointment with her "family" to perform 1,000 times, even if it is too old to act in the future, everyone will have to sit on the stage in a wheelchair to read the lines.
