Sun Li once revealed in an interview that his studio had received invitations to more than 300 scripts within a year, including even some youth dramas in the age of 18, so some people called Sun Li the first candidate for the heroine of domestic entertainment scripts.
After winning 37 trophies in 21 years of his debut, including the Feitian Award, Magnolia Award, and Golden Eagle Award, how powerful is Sun Li's acting skills? And Sun Li's ability to reach today's status is inseparable from her years of hard work and enthusiasm for acting.
In 2001, after Sun Li got the drama "Jade Guanyin", in order to get close to the role, her first reaction was to run to Yunnan alone, personally intern in the anti-narcotics brigade for a month, eat and live with the anti-narcotics police, and feel their most real life.
It was this real experience that finally made this drama a fire, and Sun Li also won the Most Popular Actress Award and the Most Popular Actress Award at the Golden Eagle Festival and the Most Popular Actress Award at the Audience with this drama.
And when filming "The Big Dyeing Room" later, there was a scene of jumping into the sea, and it coincided with the cold winter, and only needed to shoot a back. It would have been good to find a substitute, but Sun Li, who can't swim, insisted on choosing to perform by himself. After soaking in cold water for a long time, Sun Li thought the water was cold after touching the hot water.
In the filming of the historical drama "Miyue Biography", Sun Li held a rigorous attitude, clarified the details in the script one by one, and even consulted a professor from Fudan University for more than half a month, before finally having a deep understanding of the history of the pre-Qin dynasty.
In the domestic entertainment with a salary of millions at every turn, Sun Li's dedication to acting is particularly valuable. Actor is a profession, it should not be trapped by so-called traffic and capital.
This should be Sun Li's most regrettable time, because of one of his decisions, he failed to let Deng Chao's father see his son's wedding.
In 2010, when director Zhen Xiaolong was preparing for "The Biography of Zhen Huan", he initially wanted Zhou Xun to play the role of Zhen Huan, but Zhou Xun declined due to scheduling reasons, and the director found Sun Li to star.
After Sun Li read the script, he was deeply attracted by the role of Zhen Huan and immediately decided to act. But at that time, Sun Li had already confirmed the marriage date with Deng Chao, and Deng Chao's father was seriously ill, hoping to see his son enter the palace of marriage as soon as possible.
Sun Li was entangled, neither wanting to miss such a good script, nor did he want to embarrass her husband Deng Chao. In the end, Sun Li's decision to star in "The Biography of Zhen Huan" has also become a big regret in her heart.
But it is also Sun Li's decision that has created such a good character for the audience. According to director Zheng Xiaolong, since filming began, Sun Li has spent almost all of his time preparing lines, and this depends on the reason why Sun Li is the big heroine.
"The Biography of Zhen Huan" has more than 2,000 scenes, Sun Li's scenes account for more than half, and most of the lines are still in classical Chinese, which also increases the difficulty of memorization. In order to shoot smoothly, Sun Li could only sacrifice his meal time and rest time, so that he could memorize the lines skillfully and even have his own understanding.
However, Sun Li was so devoted to it, and she was criticized by outside voices, saying that she did not use the original voice dubbing. The reason is that in the later dubbing stage, Sun Li is pregnant, and the director knows that there will be great emotional fluctuations, and even explosive scenes, out of the idea of protecting the pregnant mother, he chose dubbing.
Because of Deng Chao's words at that time, while confessing Sun Li, it also caused director Feng Xiaogang to be dissatisfied. This scene happened at an award ceremony, and after winning the award, Deng Chao did not thank the director and staff for the first time, but scattered "dog food" in public and confessed to Sun Li that he wanted to put this trophy in Sun Li's bathroom.
So after the ceremony, the reporters in the audience focused all the focus of the interview on the love affair between Deng Chao and Sun Li, and director Feng Xiaogang and the film "Assembly Number" were directly left aside.
In the face of this sudden "hustle and bustle", Feng Xiaogang finally couldn't bear it, grabbed the microphone and said that there was no need to waste any more time, because no one was interested in this movie. After that, Feng Xiaogang left with the actors, and Deng Chao was full of embarrassment, so he had to leave the scene with him.
In fact, when filming Feng Xiaogang's movie, Deng Chao also took over the TV series "Sweet Honey" at the same time in order to be able to act with Sun Li. This means that two plays are performed at the same time, which is bound to cause conflicts, and when the crew and actors promote the movie "Assembly Number", Deng Chao will often be absent from the platform due to the filming of another play.
Until later, when the new film "Villain Angel" starring Deng Chao and Sun Li was released, Feng Xiaogang also directly liked a blog post mocking Deng Chao's new film as a bad film.
Since that blackface, Feng Xiaogang seems to have not worked with Deng Chao again, and Sun Li seems to have lost the opportunity to cooperate with big directors.
