The Douban score soared, and Li Min's movie was finally rehabilitated
Two days ago, CoCo Li passed away.
This amazing news was like a sudden dream.
Overnight, the whole network was deploring.
It's hard to believe that this bright girl who sings "I'll be in a good mood when I see you" is suffering from depression.
Finally say goodbye to the world in this way.
Even if you haven't experienced the era of DiDaDi on the streets.
You will also be familiar with the phrase "playing tricks, a backflip" in "Dao Ma Dan".
will also unconsciously hum a song "365 Days of Missing You" when mentioning "Pauline Lantern".
Li Min's remarkable achievements in the music career do not need to be repeated by Uncle Yu.
However, many people may not know that Li Min also starred in a movie.
And it's a country comedy that is very different from her image.
This film was once criticized as a big bad film, and the Douban score was less than 6.0 at its lowest.
However, with the death of Li Min, many netizens have clicked on the Douban page to re-rate it.
In less than a day, the Douban score rose to 6.5.
I don't know if it's the addition of feelings, or the overall decline of domestic comedies is serious.
Uncle Yu, like many netizens, also feels that this film is greatly underestimated.
I even like the sincerity and simplicity revealed in the film.
So, whether you've seen it or not, I want to Amway again today.
At the same time, in mourning, CoCo Lee, who has passed away from us.
Take this comedy to see her face once again with a bright smile.
"Entertain Yourself"
Master of everything
In fact, this movie can be regarded as a "big production" in those years.
In 2004, the investment of 20 million yuan is not a small number.
In terms of cast, it is even more top-fitting.
Li Min, the first and only starring role.
At that time, her popularity was at its peak.
From the two sides of the strait and the three places, to the European and American stages, it is the light of fire.
So far, she is also the only Chinese female singer to sing at the Oscars.
The male protagonist is Zun Long, who is known as "the first beautiful man in Asia".
This is the first time he has returned to the mainland to film after filming "The Last Emperor".
"The Last Emperor" stills
The combination of Li Min and Zun Long seems very fresh today.
In the film, the two also presented a bamboo forest drama that imitated "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Several supporting roles are also very eye-catching.
Xia Yu and Tao Hong are both top acting schools.
Such a big-name movie has a box office of more than 2 million in three days of release.
In a single copy and a single performance, it once surpassed the Hollywood epic masterpiece "Troy".
Behind the popularity of the screening, there are also many controversial topics.
At that time, there was news that Zun Long refused to publicize because of the position problem.
Interestingly, it is different from these wonderful news outside the play.
"Self-amusement" tells a story of being grounded to "earthy in the soil".
As for how soily it is, Uncle Yu first put a picture for everyone to feel:
Li Min, wearing an ill-fitting red cheongsam, stood on a small town theater stage and babbled and sang the folk music version of "DiDaDi".
The heroine she plays is named Lu Hua.
She is the daughter of the village chief and a girl with an acting dream.
It's a small village, where do you get any acting opportunities.
Luhua can only enjoy the cultural performances in the village.
One day, a film and television crew was recruiting actors in the city.
Ashika intends to seize this opportunity to get ahead.
Unexpectedly, the brightest girl in the village has become a rustic joke in the city.
Lu Hua who failed the interview was devastated.
At this time, Mi Jihong (played by Zunlong), the head of the village cultural station, decided to help.
He is Ashika's crush.
Because he couldn't bear to see his favorite object so sad, he decided to fulfill his wish for Luhua——
Shoot a martial arts TV series with Lu Hua as the protagonist.
Focus:
This is a martial arts masterpiece comparable to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Mi Jihong herself serves as a cameraman and director.
Then he hired the owner of the restaurant in the village as an investor.
He also brought in carpenters, screenwriters and props.
Then let his sister do the chores.
In this way, the basic film crew was established.
The title "Self-amusement" can be said to be the core concept of the entire film.
The villagers of a remote mountain village in the southwest are not entertaining themselves by planning to make martial arts dramas.
The name of the TV series alone is very unintentional.
—Give our movie a name
—"The Woman"
- Not atmospheric
—"The Bamboo Forest Woman"
—Not enough
—"The Lady of the Tang Village"
—We are going to make a martial arts blockbuster
—"The Woman in the Gate"
—Good!
Let's look at the actors.
In addition to the heroine Luhua.
The rest of the characters are "auctioned" by the villagers.
If you want to act, pay for registration.
The more you intersect, the more important the role you play.
There is also the Tao.
The costume of the woman is like this.
Master heroine, the dress of the hero is like this.
The armor of the warrior leader (played by Xia Yu) is made of paper shells.
The gang leader dresses like Jigong.
Finally, watch the performance.
The story of "The Woman in the Gate" is very simple:
A girl's father was killed by an enemy, and in order to avenge her father, the girl learned from a teacher and eventually became a generation of heroes.
The first scene is when the woman's father is killed, and the woman cries while holding the body.
But Lu Hua's acting skills like singing are matched by the onlookers who are eating melon seeds around.
How this TV series looks like a farce.
It is true that "The Woman in the Gate" is not linked to the profession in any way.
However, any of the villagers inside took this matter very seriously.
The actors riveted and the photographers worked hard.
Any villager does their best and enjoys it.
So, even if it starts to look like a farce.
The final result was very satisfactory to the villagers.
Everyone worked together and had a dream of amusing themselves.
It's not impossible~
Unfortunately, this film also goes to the road of "entertaining itself".
Although in the early days of the release, relying on the international popularity of Zun Long and Li Min.
But in the end, the box office was not ideal.
The reason for the defeat also stems from the international style of the two leading actors.
"Amusement of Yourself" is actually based on real events.
The head of the Jingdezhen Jingcheng Cultural Station filmed 28 episodes of the TV series with a home video camera.
After all, this is a local story that comes and goes in the mud.
But Zun Long and Li Min are both fashionable from the inside out.
No matter how you say it, it can't be posted with the local peasants.
This became the biggest slot after the movie was released that year.
One thing to say, Zun Long is actually fine.
The acting skills are solid and very malleable.
Sitting in the mud in a shabby vest, he was more or less meaningful.
Li Min is a little far from the country girl.
And after all, he is not a professional actor, and his acting skills are also a little stiff.
The international Li Min starred as a rural girl, which is indeed a bit of a sense of dislocation.
However, the Luhua she played is still a very likable character.
As the daughter of the village chief, she is beautiful and has been favored since childhood, but she does not look spoiled at all.
She knows that filming opportunities like "The Woman in the Gate" are all for herself.
So, I really practice acting very seriously and hard.
I don't sleep all night, and I practice in order to play.
Ashika's heart is also kind.
In order to shoot the TV series, Mi Jihong mortgaged the only house left by her parents.
As a result, the two brothers and sisters will have to sleep on the streets.
After hearing this, Lu Hua took out all her savings.
Because she knows that this "Woman in Guanzhong " is not only her dream fulfillment, but also has become the yearning of the whole village.
So you can't let it stop halfway.
Think about it.
The character of Lu Hua has a strong intertextuality with Li Min herself.
Li Min immigrated to the United States with her mother at the age of 9.
At the beginning of her life, she was a "yellow-skinned minority" living in a white world.
Often feel out of place and even discriminated against by classmates.
When she was 18 years old, Li Min returned to Hong Kong and participated in TVB's "Rookie Singing Competition".
A combination of Chinese and Western "Li Xianglan" helped her win the runner-up and have since embarked on the road of singer.
Li Min who participated in the competition that year
At that time, the Chinese music scene was still an era when "jade women" were in charge.
Li Min's hot European and American style dressing and strong R&B singing voice once again made her a "minority".
However, Li Min is not someone who will give up at will.
Just like Luhua, it doesn't matter if you hear bad words during the audition.
As long as it is something she likes, she will try to catch it.
Li Min did not deliberately cater to the mainstream orientation.
Instead, with its own unique style, he created his own world.
He has single-handedly combined European and American popular styles with Chinese culture to become a generation of diva-level figures.
The foundation of all this is her consistent hard work and professionalism.
Li Min has always shown people with a confident and bright image.
We always give our best to our work.
As mentioned earlier, Lu Hua in "Self-Entertainment" practiced all night in order to shoot a good fight, and even kept getting injured.
Li Min outside the play, even more so.
There are many martial arts and Weiya scenes in the film.
Previously, Li Min injured his foot while preparing for the concert.
Although the injury has basically healed when the shooting begins, it is generally best to avoid strenuous exercise.
From all angles, using a stand-in is her best option.
But Li Min didn't.
Even though she was injured by being thrown on a pillar during the shoot, she insisted on completing all the shots by herself.
This is also her cross-border work.
For his own singing career, Li Min has been dedicated and professional for decades.
Singing and dancing is Li Min's most prominent style.
But few people know that she has had a disease in her left leg since childhood.
Since his debut, as long as he dances, his left leg will hurt, and he is supported by his right leg.
But whenever he performs, Li Min is full of vitality and dynamic.
I don't know if everyone found out, Li Min has rarely seen variety shows outside the music category since his debut.
Because she never abused her fame and status.
In the current era when Kaimai true singing has become an advantage, Li Min refuses to talk to everything.
At the recording scene of "I am a singer", Li Min's old vocal cord disease recurred.
After supporting the entire song with her real voice, she cried and apologized on stage for not delivering a perfect performance.
At the scene of last year's Hundred Flowers performance, the performance was flawed due to ear return problems.
Li Min then posted an apology on Weibo.
In fact, as an audience, you can understand that Li Min does not have to.
But the singer's consciousness did not allow her to rush things.
It is precisely because of this that Li Min cannot bear the unfair treatment of people who also pursue their musical dreams.
Last year, while on the way to recording "The Voice of China", a high-scoring player in Li Min's team was eliminated.
Li Min, who has always been tolerant, kind and gentle, couldn't see it, and directly choked with the director team.
After debuting for so many years, Li Min has hardly had any lace news.
All kinds of news about her marriage during this time are also speculation in the media.
Self-effacing self-humility, low-key, professional and strong.
All these characteristics in Li Min are in sharp contrast to the current chaotic entertainment industry.
In fact, if it were not for this sudden bad news, it would be difficult for Li Min to become the center of the public's attention.
She always stands in people's hearts with the gesture of "memory killing".
Recall that when Li Min became popular, it was actually the most glorious moment in the Chinese music scene.
On both sides of the strait and three places, powerful singers bloom in a hundred flowers.
Li Min can still stand out, this strength does not need to be said.
After Li Min left, people regretted the lack of an ICON diva in the music scene.
But it's even more regrettable that no second person like her has appeared since then.
And the era represented by Li Min is also gone.
