Liu Lin was interviewed and asked by reporters:
"Who do you think is more important about the characters or the pay?"
Liu Lin said sincerely with her eyes: "When life is embarrassing, more money can impress me more." ”
And bluntly said: "I don't believe that some people say that I must meet a role that can impress me, and I only go to act, that is impossible." Don't you live anymore? How is it possible to meet characters that impress you every year? ”
The most valuable point of Liu Lin in the entertainment industry is to dare to speak, be blunt, and not be pretentious.
However, Liu Lin also stressed that no matter what role, when you get it, you must present the role to the best.
01
Born in Beijing in 1974, Liu Lin is an authentic Beijing girl, Liu Lin's father and mother are aerospace workers, working in the second department of aerospace.
The nature of the work of father and mother is special, and the public may not have thought that Liu Lin, who has been mixed in the entertainment industry for many years, her parents are actually engaged in aerospace-related work.
When she was a child, Liu Lin was not very good-looking, at least for many friends and relatives around.
Although the eyes are very large, but the face plate is larger, can be regarded as a small family jasper, but definitely not called "big beauty", if Liu Lin into the "face value to hit the world" entertainment circle, it is really not brilliant.
Liu Lin has had a talent for acting since she was a child, watching the characters on TV staged crying and rejoicing, and there is a little longing in her heart, if she also becomes an actor, can she do a good job?
02
When she was in junior high school, Liu Lin had her own ambitions, since she had the dream of becoming an actor, she always had to pay some practical actions for her dreams, right?
At that time, Liu Lin's monthly living expenses were personally handed over to her by her parents, and like ordinary parents, she instructed her twice: "The money is all here, you don't want to spend it indiscriminately!" ”
20 yuan was still very much in the 90s, when there was no shortage of materials, but also not abundant.
Liu Lin did not scrape together money to buy a beautiful dress or stationery like other girls, but used the "huge amount" of 20 yuan to sign up for the China Children's Theater Performance Training Class.
Does it sound a bit of a joke to enroll yourself in a tutoring class?
Liu Lin is such a child, from an early age, she has a longer-term vision than her peers. On weekends and in her spare time, she takes a bus to a cram school.
At that time, the city of Beijing was not as congested as it is now, but the distance from the training class to Liu Lin's home was still half of the city of Beijing.
The road is arduous, you have to sit for hours at a time, and it is not time to return.
Kung Fu pays off, after several years of systematic training, Liu Lin was selected by a famous director when she was not yet graduating from high school and entered the crew to play a female student.
This can make the classmates envious, competing to hope that Liu Lin can become a brilliant big star, and later out of society, you can also say: "Hey, I and the female star Liu Lin are classmates." ”
03
Although Liu Lin's appearance is not one of the best in the entertainment industry, her acting skills can be described as a number of family treasures, and when she was in the crew, the director recognized her acting skills very much.
The lines are very serious, almost never stuck, and the actors who play with her also admire this little girl.
After all, I have just graduated from high school, and it is already very difficult to achieve this level.
Liu Lin chose to enter the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy for further study, which surprised the relatives around her.
How could I not have imagined that the entire Kochi family would actually emerge a female star?
The criticism of relatives, the incomprehension of friends around you, there may be times when this is true, obviously you have not done anything, inexplicably crushed by gossip.
Liu Lin's parents are a kind of more rigorous and calm personality, but it is very surprising that the parents did not interfere with any of Liu Lin's choices, they felt that as long as their daughters were happy.
With the support of her parents, the eyes of others did not matter to Liu Lin.
Liu Lin, who arrived at the university, and Xu Jinglei, Xie Run, and Liu Zi were called "Four Golden Flowers", which can be regarded as a small reputation.
In her sophomore year, Liu Lin went to the interview of the crew and was successfully selected by the director of the "Midnight Song" crew, this time it was not a supporting role, but a real heroine.
What made the students most envious was that the two male protagonists of Liu Lin's partner were Zhang Guorong and Huang Lei.
Those who are familiar with Zhang Guorong know that at that time, Zhang Guorong's reputation in the mainland was so famous that many young boys and girls worshiped Zhang Guorong as an idol-level figure and became the youth of a generation of male gods and countless people.
And Huang Lei, at that time, was not very famous, but also in the rising period of male actors, Huang Lei at that time was not as blessed as now, thin and cold jaw lines, even the eyes are with a kind of juvenile firmness and directness.
Playing with these two male gods simply made Liu Lin's classmates envious.
One day after filming, the male protagonist Zhang Guorong invited Liu Lin and Huang Lei to the hotel for dinner together, and selected a very famous Shangri-La Hotel, with its brilliant decoration and the well-trained professional style of the waiters, which was very high-grade at a glance.
As soon as Liu Lin came in, she wore a green military coat, and even the waiter looked at her with some contempt.
There is no way, this society is like this, and the external materials such as seniority and fame and fortune seem to be more effective.
But when all the staff saw Zhang Guorong coming, the attitude was simply a 180-degree turn.
This is also the first time that Liu Lin has seen what is the cruelty of the entertainment industry and what is the cruelty of society.
When you are famous, everyone rushes to you like stars and moons; when you are not famous, everyone throws you aside, and they don't even know who you are.
Liu Lin's starting point should be said to be very high, many of her classmates are running dragon sets, but Liu Lin has been a heroine in her sophomore year.
As one of the four golden flowers, "Liu Lin" was indeed very exuberant and early when it first bloomed, but the most feared thing was a flash in the pan.
04
After graduating, Liu Lin seemed to have lost her lucky aura, everything had to start from scratch, at that time, she went around handing out resumes to producers and directors, but did not wait for a message.
More than three months have passed, and the former heroine can't even play a small supporting role.
Liu Lin had to put down her body and run the crew by herself.
I thought the director would be impressed by her sincerity, but I didn't expect to usher in such a sentence: "Your face plate is too big, not photogenic, and now it is popular for actresses with small mouths and small faces." ”
For two whole years, Liu Lin did not receive a single play.
Fortunately, Liu Lin is usually popular, and a teacher asked her to return to school to perform a graduation drama, which is always a short-term job.
Just two days after the play was performed, the director of the "New Year's Homecoming" crew happened to come to the drama academy to look for actresses, and happened to see Liu Lin standing in the center of the stage, shining brightly.
It was because of this film that Liu Lin won the best actress award at the 13th Singapore International Film Festival.
People are in good spirits when they are happy, not only have their careers turned around, but even love is secretly blossoming.
05
In 1999, Liu Lin attended a peer party and met a male director named Zhang Li.
As soon as they meet, the two people are attracted by each other's special temperament, Zhang Li is a very talented man, talking and temperament is extraordinary, although the appearance is definitely not as good as those heroic stars in the entertainment industry, but for Liu Lin, the appearance is good, just look good.
Zhang Li's father is a very famous mechanics expert, which is slightly similar to the nature of Liu Lin's parents' work, both are Kochi families, it should be said that the door is right.
Two people graduated from the same college, one in photography and one in acting, and in any way, they are very correct.
Liu Lin is the best actress, and Zhang Li is definitely not inferior to the woman in her career, he won the Best Cinematography Award at the Golden Rooster Awards of the 20th China Film Festival.
Zhang Li had been divorced, but Liu Lin didn't care, it was his last marriage, and Liu Lin believed that she could live this period with him.
Liu Lin is now nameless and has no points, just waiting for Zhang Li to make a promise to her for a lifetime, put on a white veil, and walk into the marriage hall.
Wait, wait, wait, just wait for four years, Liu Lin did not wait after all.
Since Zhang Li did not take the initiative to mention marriage, Liu Lin decided to go and talk to him herself.
When she learned from Zhang Li's mouth that she didn't want to get married and only wanted to talk about a lifetime of love, Liu Lin finally understood that Zhang Li was not the one who could "hold hands with her and go down".
Unexpectedly, Zhang Li's not wanting to get married is just a word that can't stand up to scrutiny, the so-called don't want to get married, just don't want to marry you.
Only two months later, Liu Lin saw in the newspaper the information that Zhang Li and the woman Liu Bei were married.
For Liu Lin, it is completely a secondary injury.
At that time, Liu Lin was very depressed, locking herself at home all day and not talking to anyone, and she did not expect to suffer from depression because of it.
After Liu Lin lost love, she wanted to find a better man than Zhang Li, in order to prove that the old woman was not indispensable to you.
After experiencing various blind dates, Liu Lin became more and more anxious, fortunately, there was a girlfriend Mei Ting on the side to enlighten her, often accompanied her to the park to walk the dog and see the flowers.
Mei Ting said: "No one loves you, you have to love yourself, no one has to be anyone, don't punish yourself for other people's faults." ”
Liu Lin packed up her mood and moved towards her original goal, filming many TV series in succession and successfully dominating the screen.
Although it is a hegemonic screen, almost all of the performances are supporting roles, and the response in the audience's mind is not enough.
But what about supporting characters? If there is a protagonist, there must be a supporting role, and not everyone can be the protagonist, right? Who will play the supporting role?
Liu Lin upholds the "spirit of supporting roles", as long as she loves the profession of acting, the supporting roles of the protagonist have long been looked down upon.
In 2012, with the introduction of her girlfriend Mei Ting, Liu Lin starred in the role of Jiang Dehua in the TV series "Parental Love".
Be a girlfriend outside the play with Mei Ting, and be an aunt in the play.
At that time, Liu Lin had been married for three years, she married an ordinary man, fame and income were not as high as her, Liu Lin acted while acting after marriage, while preparing for pregnancy.
Liu Lin's birth road was unexpectedly difficult, the first two children were miscarried, and when she was pregnant for the third time, the baby was delayed in giving birth, and it was barely born after four days of induction injections.
Fortunately, the mother and son were safe, liu Lin and her husband Xi Dezi, took a milk name, called "little snail".
The 39-year-old became a mother, and the family regarded the "little snail" as a treasure.
Now Liu Lin has a happy family and a very lovely son, life is very happy and happy, and the past emotional trauma has long disappeared and passed away with the wind.
06
Liu Lin has played many roles, the most popular is the big lady in "Know It or Not" and Jiang Dehua in "Parental Love", but these classic roles are shaped so perfectly through Liu Lin's step-by-step accumulation.
Career is the same as feelings, can not be achieved overnight, all say good things are behind, so sometimes really don't rush, we can take it slowly.
