On Friday, the debut film "Love Myth" directed by shao Yihui, a post-90s female director, was released, and there was a lot of applause on the Internet, and the Douban score was as high as 8.3 points, and some people even thought that this is the top three good movies of the year.
The 43-year-old Ni Hongjie, who plays Gloria with a "wild cat" personality in the film, once again makes people feel the fiery and sexy temperament of this "beautiful girl".

She was a smart woman
Gloria claimed to be a woman who was "rich and idle, and her husband was missing" in "Love Myth", and was also the only person in the film who actively pursued Lao Bai, played by Xu Zheng.
The most prominent performance is when the three women in the film (Miss Li played by Ma Yili, and Bei Bei and Gloria, played by Wu Yue) are first met, which is also one of the funniest scenes in the film.
Gloria was the first uninvited to arrive, waiting for dinner in Lao Bai's living room, and the intention of the period was self-evident. After the three women gathered and got drunk, she was the only one who stayed behind to "spend the night", and the next morning she took the initiative to hint to Lao Bai, hoping to further close the relationship between the two.
But Lao Bai has no feeling for Gloria, so he has the plot to go to the KTV room to find her to explain. However, Gloria is very open-minded and covers up the past very well. But at the moment of closing the door, there was still a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
Ni Hongjie said that this scene was deliberately added during the live shooting, "I told Lao Bai: I am very dangerous, you don't fall in love with me, in fact, people did not fall in love with me at all, and then they walked away very dashingly." Ni Hongjie liked this scene very much, because in that instant, Gloria finally let everyone see that she did not have a heart on the surface, but in fact, she understood everything in her heart, but she chose to be a fool herself.
Gloria has a classic line in the film: I am in the best state now, what I want to do and what I want to do, carefree. But in fact, she really wants to have a man like Lao Bai who cares about the family, and she also knows that Lao Bai likes Miss Li, so she chooses to take the initiative to refuse, in fact, she turned around, she herself is a little sad.
With this detail added, Ni Hongjie performed Gloria's complex inner world.

A sex symbol of an era
Born in Changshu in 1978, Ni Hongjie was sent back to Shanghai by her parents as a child and fostered in her aunt's house. When she was a child, she went to school every day in fat pants and felt like an "ugly duckling" with no self-confidence at all. He returned to his parents at the age of 13.
In 1997, Ni Hongjie, who was still in high school, accompanied her friends to shoot advertising films, and as a result, she was looked up to by makeup artists, praised her for her beauty, recommended her to the director, and a week later, she made an advertising film of a certain brand capsule, and since then it has become a hit and got a reward of 2,000 yuan.
She was 19 years old. But she appeared on the screen as a young woman with heavy makeup, saying such pompous lines as "a woman's appearance should be maintained from the inside out", presumably her heart is rejected.
Two years later, Ni Hongjie took over the underwear advertisement, or two years ago praised her beautiful makeup artist to introduce. Ni Hongjie was very broken inside, but the contract had been signed, and she had to wear a bra to shoot the advertisement. Unexpectedly, this advertisement made the 21-year-old rated as "the top ten advertising stars in the country". In the following years, the underwear advertisement was rolled on television, and it was said that Ni Hongjie's parents were very unhappy, and the whole family did not mention it.
I have to say that in that era, Ni Hongjie's underwear advertisement was still very lethal, and it was not too much to say that she was a sex symbol at that time.

"Unsalty" without saltiness
Compared with the blockbuster in the advertising industry, Ni Hongjie's performance in the film and television circle is not so smooth.
The TV series "Wulin Waichuan" broadcast in 2006 won the popularity of Yan Ni, Sha Yi, Yao Chen and other actors, but "Zhu Wushuang" played by Ni Hongjie did not become popular.
At that time, she did not have a great passion for acting, and later simply went to Yunnan to open a hotel and became a real boss lady, but unfortunately this business experience was not successful.
In 2009, director Shang Jing began filming the film version of "The Legend of Wulin", and Ni Hongjie, who was already 31 years old, was criticized by the director for "changing wood and having no aura". At that moment, she found that she could no longer be so indifferent to the performance.
Later, she filmed Cui Jian's "Blue Bones", played Heidi in "One Night Surprise", played the strong woman Niu Meili in "Come on, You Are the Best", played The Mother Zhong Jie who was abused by domestic violence in "Skyscraper", played Huang Yao's mother in "Over Spring", played Yang Ying's mother in "Skyscraper", and played Wang Yuanke's mother in "Second Life".
Although none of them are big roles, her performance is improving a little bit.

Can't get rid of the sexy label
In this year's National Day movie "My Father and My Father", "Duck Prophet", director Xu Zheng invited Ni Hongjie to play the advertising heroine Su Ting in the play, which suddenly brought people back to the atmosphere of the early 1980s.
When she first got the script of "Love Myth", Ni Hongjie was a little hesitant, "From the original script, this role is somewhat less pleasing. ”
After in-depth discussion with the director, Ni Hongjie felt that there was still a turning point in the treatment of the characters, and the overall team of the film was very attractive, so she was very happy to join the group.
Objectively speaking, choosing Ni Hongjie to play Gloria, or looking at the sexy label on her body, from the current results, her performance is still good.
Actors don't want to be stereotyped, and they all want the audience to care about their acting skills, not their looks and figure, but objectively speaking, there are very few actors who can jump out of looks and bodies. Instead of this, it is better to play your innate advantages well, and perhaps you can create a style that no one can replace!
