From which drama did you first meet Liu Yifei?
The elegant and noble Bai Xiuzhu, the graceful Wang Yuyan, the cute and lively Zhao Ling'er, or the cold and affectionate Little Dragon Girl?
Debut too early, the role is too classic.
Obviously still young, but it has long been defined by the audience as "childhood memories".
The start of "Dream Hualu", after 16 years, once again brought Liu Yifei to the TV screen.
For the plot, the audience has mixed reviews, but for Liu Yifei, who has been absent for a long time, we can only marvel at "Tianxian is Tianxian Ah." ”
From the age of 14 to the age of 34, time seemed to be extraordinarily indulgent to her.
But for Liu Yifei, she never cared whether she was a "heavenly immortal".
Beyond the envious eyes of everyone, behind the golden sign of "Tianxian" is her decades of persistence and pursuit.
01
The celestial beings have just grown
In 1987, Liu Yifei was born in Wuhan, his father An Shaokang was a professor of French at Wuhan University, and he translated the Yangtze River literary and artistic version of "Notre Dame de Paris"; Later, he was sent abroad by the central government for further study, and later served in the Chinese consulate in France. Her mother, Liu Xiaoli, is a well-known dancer at the Wuhan Song and Dance Theatre.
Liu Yifei, who was born in such a family, has been pinned heavy hopes on her parents since she was a child.
Liu Yifei said she had not experienced childhood since she was a child.
From a young age in a key elementary school, she has endless homework every day, and if she can't finish writing before school, she has to stay in school to continue writing.
For Liu Yifei, who loves face, staying in school is enough to make the little girl feel ashamed.
After her parents separated, she went to the United States with her mother to study, and she did not understand the language, and Liu Yifei at that stage was lonely, wandering, and insecure.
It also made the audience who liked her feel sad: such a little fairy should have grown up carefree.
But it is also liu Yifei, who has such a personality and experience, who is precocious than her peers, and understands earlier what she really wants to do, that is, to become an excellent actor.

Down-to-earth and dedicated, she is a real actress
In Liu Yifei's movie "Night Peacock", there are some kiss scene clips, because the "fairy sister" is too impressive, the reporter asked her "what do you think of the passion scene?" ”
Behind this problem is the audience's stereotype of her, and there are also society's implicit requirements for women's "purity" and "chastity".
Liu Yifei felt the ill will of the questioner, but her cultivation allowed her to control her emotions.
She responded with a smile, "I hope the audience can give the actress more respect." The content that a work wants to express is very rich and complete. The film shows the relationship between people and people, the relationship between people and the world. Why just talk about one of these scenes? ”
Polite and courteous, well-founded.
Liu Yifei put acting on a very high position, she believes that the process of filming is also the process of creation, and the actor as the creator of the work is of great significance.
Filming is not a joke, and it should not be blasphemed.
In fact, she did the same.
She admits that in the process of acting as an actor, she often needs to withdraw from herself, and even give up some sense of security.
When facing the camera, it is an independent soul.
Liu Yifei's "forgetfulness" is her recognition and persistence in the profession of an actor.
Regardless of her acting skills, open her work and you can see that she really used her heart.
Instead of being like some other "actors", empty and beautiful, they can only read their lines dryly in the play, and the only expression is dry eyes.
Wholeheartedly into the role she has created, understanding her, perfecting her, interpreting her, this is her sincerity as an actor.

From confusion to firmness, fade the aura of heavenly immortals
Liu Yifei said, "All the things you want to break free of, you can't break free, but the thought of wanting to break free will make you fall deeper and deeper." ”
Becoming famous at a young age has brought her the aura of "Fairy Sister" and the audience's pursuit of trusting fans, and has also brought her a heavy burden and confusion.
Once one gets an opportunity, one expects that the next opportunity must be better than this one.
The deeper the desire, the more distractions there are.
After 2008, Liu Yifei began to fall silent, both resting herself and waiting critically for a better script to appear.
At the same time, Liu Yifei signed a contract with an American brokerage company, which also offended all major entertainment companies in the mainland.
At that time, the whole network was her black material, rumors and slanders, although there was no explicit ban, but Liu Yifei could not receive good works.
For her love of acting, this is no different from banning.
In desperation, Liu Yifei can only play supporting roles in some movies.
She confessed that after getting the script of "Four Famous Catches", she found that she only had a few lines, and countless complicated emotions surged into her heart in an instant.
Fortunately, instead of falling into the emotional vortex and consuming herself, she pulled herself away and looked at these crowded feelings from the perspective of a bystander.
She also suggested to herself, "Can you think less and think differently, this time is also a challenge." Would you rather do something challenging? ”
After Liu Yifei calmed her mind, she completed the challenge brilliantly.
Afterwards, he also ridiculed himself, this time filming made himself a successful "male actor", and he sat on a chair to ponder the script after finishing his makeup.
This time, she focused on sculpting her acting skills, rather than paying attention to whether the appearance was beautiful or not, and whether it was immortal or not.
Even if it is to play a small role, Liu Yifei also treats it with heart and strives to achieve self-breakthrough.
She knows what her goals are, so every opportunity is not wasted.
When Disney wanted to shoot "Mulan", more than 1,000 female stars from five continents were auditioned.
As soon as Liu Yifei received the audition invitation, she immediately flew from Beijing to Los Angeles.
During the 14-hour flight, she didn't sleep for a moment.
As soon as you get off the plane, you meet with the producers, followed by a 2-hour intense audition.
Liu Yifei auditioned for five scenes, including five pages of English dialogue on paper lines.
After the audition, she waited for an hour and a half of fitness tests.
During the whole process, she did not shout a word of tiredness.
Emperor Tian did not pay off, Liu Yifei with her own efforts, became the first Chinese Disney princess.
Liu Yifei used her strong strength to tell everyone that even if no one else gave resources, she could rely on herself to fight for the best resources.
Even if there is no road, she can walk out of a path on her own.
Her heart was far stronger than her appearance, and she was a true warrior.

Write at the end
Ten years of grinding a sword, with the explosion of "Dream Hualu", 34-year-old Liu Yifei returned to the audience's vision with an elegant posture.
Despite years of fading, once the return can still block the gods.
At this time, she has more indifference and more freedom.
As she said in Weibo, "Don't argue, don't punish yourself with the logic and ideas of others, stop being violent to yourself, don't be an unconscious recipient, be a friend of facts, then the harm is not hurt, it is the projection of another individual's mind, feeling good is projecting good, feeling worldly is projecting worldliness, and all this has nothing to do with me, so easy, I find myself again."
I look forward to Liu Yifei bringing us more works in the future.
I also look forward to the immortal sister, not just the immortal sister.
Welcome to pay attention to it, thank you for your support [heart]
