To director Jiang Zhuoyuan, there are two difficulties in casting "Four Wood Field Autumn Sisters" in "Gold Rush": reflecting the character background of the geology teacher, and having the ease of the Mixed Gold Field Men's Gang. The former requires the actor to have a certain workplace attribute; the latter is more complicated, mixed gold panning but not simply "color", the style of a variety of styles, beautiful and moving Mrs. Zhaizhai is not enough to return the soul of Ah Qiu after the film and television adaptation.
Not attached to male power, heroic and fierce, and equal to men in momentum is the tone of the role that Jiang Zhuoyuan finally set for Ah Qiu, and is highly recognized in the suspense category market, with two benchmark works of "White Night Pursuit" and "The Silent Truth", Lu Xiaolin, who has played a series of workplace roles such as policeman, forensic doctor, and financial director, is the best candidate.
For Lu Xiaolin herself, "Gold Digger Ah Qiu" is a fresh opponent in her many challenges. In the second half of 2021, she let the audience see her "comedic talent" in the hit drama "My Neighbors Don't Grow Up", and a humorous temperament that emanated from her bones seemed to explain that "good actors are also harmonious". The drama eventually became a Youku dark horse with a box office share of 50 million. Time into 2022, Lu Xiaolin once again confirmed his "acting polyhedron" strength with gold digger Ah Qiu. After Gao Forensic, Captain and Director Yao, she and Sister Qiu went out of the circle hand in hand.
Two years ago, "The Silent Truth" with a Douban score of 9.1 made "Mist Theater" a golden signboard for iQiyi's suspense category with quality and word of mouth, and Criminal Police Captain Ren Yueting also became the "white moonlight of the police flower world" in the hearts of many people. Then someone began to archeological "Ren Team" past roles: Gao Forensic Doctor in "White Night Pursuit", Zhao Jiaqi in "White Moonlight"... Lu Xiaolin, like most actors, seriously played with every role she encountered during the long performance period. Then, when a character breaks the circle, it will trigger a series of chain reactions: the actors after many roles can't hide.
1 Mine head Aqiu and Batur's mother
Lü Xiaolin, called Ah Qiu in "Gold Rush", is an arch horse mine head and is good at finding veins and exploring minerals. As one of the few women in the men's gang of Jinchang, she can survive by skillfully maneuvering around several forces. Because of the status of the jianghu, everyone habitually called her "Sister Qiu", which was used by fans who chased the drama outside the play, as long as she came out, the barrage area would ring out a "Sister Qiu".
In the play, she and Wu Jianchao, the chinese boss of the Four Wood Factory played by Liao Fan, are lovers, which is the second time the two have cooperated, the first time is to play a colleague in "The Silent Truth". Lu Xiaolin is a brave and resourceful criminal police team captain Ren Yueting, Liao Fan is a sword to take the side, do not play cards according to common sense of the difficult and miscellaneous cases to take Yan Liang, the two met because of the "subway body dumping case", there is a place of mutual wrestling in the process of jointly handling the case, in the face of Yan Liang, such a police circle "thorn head", Ren Yueting also showed a very pleasing empathy and cooperation in addition to the ability to handle cases.
From "The Silent Truth" to "Gold Rush", Lu Xiaolin continued the style of not relying on modeling to get out of the circle, if Ren Team is a simple and capable policewoman, then Ah Qiu is undoubtedly an authentic gold digger who has been mixing gold fields for many years and not trimming the edges.
Her charm and posture are naturally "mud and sand gold" among the rough gold diggers, but in other modern dramas, it is really a bit "gray-headed". However, Ah Qiu's second scene gave the audience a stunning blow, and in just a few minutes, she and Liao Fan's lover relationship was established, and also established the impression of a multi-faceted girl who mixed with cunning and ruthless gold diggers.
Lu Xiaolin's first highlight moment in "Gold Rush" was the flirtation scene with Liao Fan that "five grams of gold, a sweater, you are my son". Neat short hair, ordinary white shirt, back to Wu Jianchao lying on the bed Ah Qiu with a slightly ethereal voice to read a story of a gold digger, in everyone thought that she was flying thoughts at the mercy of others, suddenly turned to Wu Jianchao and laughed and ridiculed "The sweater is knitted for my son, you are my son", and then a cross-seat made the bullet screen area collectively scream "Sister Qiu is very good". In the rivalry with Liao Fan, Lu Xiaolin is a woman who hides her calculations in her lust, her eyes are full of autumn water, and there is love between laughter, but there is a little bit of real trust.
Where is her trust? In order to survive in the mixed golden field, Ah Qiu will not have only one kind of dependence, and the old shan of the golden boss of the four wooden fields played by Su Ke is her second "relationship". Compared with Wu Jianchao's lust, Ah Qiu obviously does not have much love for Lao Shan, but is more in the interest of binding and survival dependence. She makes good use of her geological hard skills and the natural "weakness" of women to establish a kind of stronger "camaraderie" with the other party. From the small river gold digger to the kidnapping of her son, Ah Qiu is well versed in Lao Shan's friendship with her, and fully grasping this friendship is one of her many ways to survive.
Interpreting women who are circling between many male forces, especially in the face of acting schools such as Liao Fan and Su Ke, too much force will appear greasy, insufficient strength and easy to have no personality, and then be submerged in a number of roles. Such a microcosm role that integrates women's helplessness under the patriarchal society, Lu Xiaolin set "getting power" for Ah Qiu as the core goal of the role, using professionalism to gain a foothold in the male group, and using female charm as a weapon at key moments.
In terms of character relationships, she shows the beauty and charm of "Ah Qiu" appropriately from the aspects of action details and emotional state, and wraps up a certain sexual tension that will become more and more turbulent in the humid and hot environment in the performance. In the face of Wu Jianchao, her gaze is hot and playful, and her whole body emits a hormonal breath of wanting to refuse to return; in the face of Lao Shan, she either looks down or looks at the distance to do thoughtfulness, business ability and mutual benefit are the biggest characteristics she needs Lao Shan to see from herself.
In the younger "little half-cut" Chen Baojin (Chen Feiyu), she seems to see the intelligent and persistent self of her youth, so she uses maturity, experience and the lead in delivering trust in exchange for the trust of the other party. Appointing Chen Baojin to become the person in charge of the golden field, a few simple words mixed with the sound of the water in the shower, Lu Xiaolin said the important information in the bath in an understated way, adding a bit of mystery and story to this woman.
In the golden field, where "people die for gold, birds die for eating", in the face of different types of men and possible risks, with love, with weakness, with the mind... Ah Qiu, a woman like a kaleidoscope, is only the most real and pure in front of her son Batur. Gold diggers, lovers, mothers... Lu Xiaolin used the performance to label Ah Qiu in different ways, each of which was "very good-looking".
2 Harvest Workplace? "They" are all named Lu Xiaolin
In 2017, the suspenseful reasoning drama "White Night Pursuit" broke the circle, douban scored 9.0, the characters and plots in the play set off a wave of "reasoning" boom on the Internet, Lu Xiaolin played forensic doctor Gao Yanan in the play, is Guan Hongyu (Pan Yueming) girlfriend, and Ah Qiu, Gao forensic doctor is also a set of multiple elements in one, the actor has a lot of challenging roles.
In addition to forensics, the identity of Guan Hongyu's girlfriend makes Gao Yanan "complicated". She needs to deal with the exchange of identities between her boyfriend and her twin brother who suffers from "phobia of the night", and also to clear the suspicion of her boyfriend who is trapped in the door tragedy, the profession of forensic medicine provides her with convenient conditions to help Guan Hongyu, but it also makes her have to be more cautious in her daily life. As a result, loving "intimidating people" has become her well-deserved protective color.
The indiscriminate intimidating technique has circled several waves of good feelings for high forensic doctors, and as her pregnant belly is increasingly revealed because she is pregnant with Guan Hongyu's child, Lu Xiaolin also uses details such as supporting her waist from time to time and dragging her steps slightly.
Although he contributed a lot of performance highlight moments in "White Night Pursuit" and "The Silent Truth", can Lu Xiaolin's acting skills only be rotated in the suspense circle? "Gold Rush" can confirm her multiple possibilities, and she confirmed with a different life in "White Moonlight" and "My Neighbors Don't Grow Up" movie "Door Lock" that "you can always believe in Lu Xiaolin and her acting skills".
In "White Moonlight", she plays Song Jia's girlfriend Zhao Jiaqi, a fierce, straightforward and righteous freelance photographer. This role is a good female model in the popular "Her Suspense" theme in recent years, with its own set of guidelines for life and work, and can give effective help when friends encounter cheating doors, which makes many fans sigh and hope to have friends like Sister Zhao.
In a light comedy of love such as "My Neighbors Don't Grow Up", Lu Xiaolin unexpectedly showed a comedic talent. In the play, she transformed into Yao Dan, the financial director of the advertising company, with a bit of wisdom and foolish cuteness in her personality, not only will she use wine to spit out the truth, provide emotional assistance for the male and female protagonists in the next year, and become a serious and reliable emotional analyst at key moments. Whether it is a drama or a comedy, Lu Xiaolin can always add a layer of "real and trustworthy" background for the characters, so that the characters are more grounded, and at the same time, they have accumulated a lot of audience popularity without moving.
Even though the functionality of less than five minutes is revealed in the movie "Door Lock", Lu Xiaolin still uses her acting skills to bake the atmosphere of this film that focuses on single women. So many people who have seen the film are a little hesitant about her just as a case preparation, and at the end of the film, they are still thinking about "what happened to the short-haired girl at the beginning?"
From the debut will be taken by the audience, to the current name in the lineup means quality assurance, actor Lu Xiaolin continues to use the work to prove: good actors will be out of the circle sooner or later.
3 Types of changeable? Good acting is fearless
Long-term acting experience has made Lu Xiaolin more aware of what kind of works and roles she can shine in, all the roles she has played, in addition to special professions such as forensics, criminal police, doctors, etc., full of joy and full of local atmosphere of professional women and gold diggers who are in the mix of fish and dragons and interests are all handy.
In addition to accurately grasping the characters, Lu Xiaolin, who dares to challenge multiple types of works, has the ability to travel freely between different themes. Drama comedy, suspense thriller, workplace industry, seems to respond to the saying, "there are no small roles, only small actors", every work and role that falls into her hands can become natural and vivid.
Such acting skills have also made more people begin to have a "future promising" attitude towards her: about to land in the Mango Monsoon Theater, the famous director Lu Chuan's "Extraordinary Healer" made fans who like her look forward to her surprise performance in the medical industry drama; and in the blockbuster suspense drama "Through the Night" produced by iQiyi, she partnered Wang Jingchun and Ou Hao to stage an anti-black and anti-evil crime drama, which was also "hidden" with surprises.
After "Gold Rush", no matter who the opponent is, no matter who plays where she is, "Holding the Scene" is the most evaluation given to her by people who have seen Lu Xiaolin's performance. Just like Sister Qiu telling the story of the San Francisco gold panning to Lao Shan at the edge of the fire, every character Lu Xiaolin has portrayed has its own sense of story from far or near, each "story" is different, and each one is impressive. Some people call it a kind of drama that has been honed by years and works, and actors who are constantly walking on this road have the ability to use their roles to open a blind box of surprises for the audience.
Who says that a good actor does not spend his life "panning for gold" for the audience? Just like Lu Xiaolin.
With the end of "Gold Rush", Ah Qiu's story has come to an end, and the story of actor Lu Xiaolin is not finished. The following is a work note from director Jiang Zhuoyuan, as an Easter egg to give to everyone:
When choosing the actor of Ah Qiu's character, I did not form a clear portrait in my mind at the beginning. This sinister and fierce smuggler, the flower butterfly who roams between the two gold bosses, the survivor who is alone in the male jungle full of sweat and blood, this snake and scorpion beauty who does everything in her power to satisfy her desires, what should she look like.
But what I knew clearly at the beginning was that I didn't want the kind of "snake and scorpion beauty" under the standard of inertial thinking in film and television works - big waves, big waves, red lips, big legs, wearing sexy costumes, walking to the side of the big brother with cat steps, stroking her hair, revealing the half-stretched pectoral muscles, and most likely having to lick her lips. Most of these female images are shaped according to the straight male aesthetic, and I personally do not like women to be objectified.
Such a female figure will most likely be divided and eaten in the gold rush, and it is difficult to survive, let alone become a tyrant who casts his huge shadow on every corner of the gold field. The Ah Qiu I want is an independent woman, her background is a university of geology teacher, a high-level intellectual, appearing in this fish and dragon mixed dung pit like gold field, you can imagine what kind of suffering she has experienced. And what kind of suffering would make her flee the city, escape her original life to come here, so she must be sad, her background makes her destined to be an intellectual and powerful woman, able to put the hearts and emotions of the two golden field gangsters in her hands like a plate of walnuts. She also has to be sexy, and she must be stylish, to put it not a particularly accurate description, she should be "gold and jade who went to college".
The first time I saw Lu Xiaolin, she wore a long red dress, which was dazzling but not vulgar. This dazzling red dress showed a certain purity on her. She shouldn't have put on makeup that day (how could there be such a lazy actress?). But the state of plain face makes her seem to have a simple and intellectual feeling. And I don't know if it was because she had just finished shooting another scene, she looked a little tired, and this exhaustion made her look a little sad, she didn't desperately want to express herself, just sat so quietly. Later, she proved that this was an illusion, and Lu Xiaolin had absolutely nothing to do with quietness. "Come, I'll spin one for you." An actress with a large difference in style and a strong sense of plasticity was presented to me.
We sat so quietly and talked for a while, without much drama, mainly Hala a bit of daily life. She told me about her hobby of painting and showed me her paintings. We didn't talk for long, from meeting to deciding that it was only an hour for her. The reason why I was able to make a decision so quickly was because after meeting her, ah qiu's image instantly became concrete in my mind. I could imagine the sight of sweaty gold diggers on the river beach in the sweltering, humid rainforest, in a humble, dilapidated log cabin. The owl, in a long red dress, sat so quietly, drawing a picture out of place, this person so out of place and so complementary to the environment. And every stroke she smeared on the canvas, the paint was bright red blood and yellow sand.
Thank you Lu Xiaolin for coming to "Gold Rush", thank you for bringing us an unexpected but so deserved "owl" - Ah Qiu!
