A few days ago, Gao Lu said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Beijing News that the most attractive thing about "Her City" is that for 35-year-old + women, they have to face the balance and choice of work and family at the same time, and the three sisters in the play have their own problems in life and workplace, although the problems are different, but they are cruel and depressing. "For Li Yingnan, even in such a depressive environment, she still did not give up being herself."
In "Her City", Gao Lu plays corporate executive Li Yingnan.
I believe there are many couples who are in this state
At the beginning of the whole play, Li Yingnan encountered a series of "blows" in his family and career. Her husband Xu Xin opened the company everywhere and treated the scammer as a buddy. In order to continue the business, the husband not only spent his savings, but also asked Li Yingnan to use his own salary to advance the employee's salary first. At the urging of her husband, Li Yingnan, who had no money, could only take the limit of her credit card, and in order to get an investment for her husband, she worked overnight to help her husband modify the PPT. Li Yingnan is constantly wiping her husband's ass in marriage, and his life is full of chicken feathers. So in the end, she didn't want to live such a life anymore and was ready for divorce.
For the relationship between Xu Xin and Li Yingnan in the play, Gao Lu frankly said that the gender relationship between them is indeed difficult to define, and what happens between them will have different feelings in different people, and there will be different ways to deal with problems. "It's not that the two of them are not in love, it's just that there are some problems that accumulate and go unsolved, and eventually there will be a flashpoint." I believe that there are many couples who are in such a state, which is also where reality shines into reality in the play, hoping that reality will give answers. ”
She is a very good, strong and powerful woman
Not only is family life a mess, in the workplace, Li Yingnan seems to be a corporate executive, but in fact he is a paper tiger, in the words of a friend, he has suffered the loss of "people are too good", and the workplace is pinched by the boss Xue everywhere, either eating flatbread or on the way to eating flatbread, and at the same time facing the difficulties of "airborne" assistants with backgrounds.
Although Li Yingnan has been bullied up and down in the workplace, and her family life is even more chicken feathers, it can be said that everything is unsatisfactory, but she is still in such an environment, she has not lost hope for a better life, and chooses to insist on being herself and being positive, so as to get out of difficulties and grow. In Gao Lu's view, Li Yingnan is a working woman, knowledgeable, rational, even when she knows what may happen, or these things happen is not what she wants, and the result is not so beautiful, she will still rationally convince herself, choose to live an active life, solve problems if there are problems, strive to overcome difficulties if there are difficulties, and create opportunities if there are no opportunities. "As a woman, she also has times when she breaks out, dare to say and dare to think and dare to shoot, very relieved, everyone should have the same feeling as me when watching the drama. In my opinion, she is a very good, strong and powerful woman. ”
Li Yingnan has a strong heart and does not panic when things happen.
This character will be too gray if it is not played well
For Gao Lu, playing Li Yingnan is very challenging, "This character is difficult to play, and if it is not played well, it may be too gray and depressing." Gao Lu said that when Li Yingnan collapses many times, the collapse point of different events will have different reactions, and there is the kind of progressive anger, irritability, and venting, always have to adjust the state of the attempt in speculation, presenting different plot pictures.
In the play, many of Li Yingnan's small movements, or some micro-expressions on her face, will happen in the face of different situations, and Gao Lu also hopes to let the audience see her inner activities from these aspects. For example, Li Yingnan will have a stunned expression, but also a small expression with some joy or nerves, in Gao Lu's view, these are the demeanor that an optimistic and positive person like her will have, or such a demeanor also reflects that she is a person who lives actively, and the characters will be richer and fuller. "Li Yingnan's life is a chicken feather, but she has the courage and optimism to face such a life. I hope that by seeing Daying (Li Yingnan), in the future, in the face of those bad times in life, the audience will learn to cope with tears and laughter, find that ray of sunshine, break through the clouds, and be positive. ”
Gao Lu said that the role of Li Yingnan is not very easy to play.
【Dialogue】

Gao Lu: Actually, I think Li Yingnan has not completely handled family and career, or life and workplace, which may be a puzzle faced by every 35+ woman, how to balance family and workplace well, which is also a difficult problem. But even if it is a difficult problem, she is trying very hard to change, which is also what she wants everyone to see and experience through "Her City". I hope that through Li Yingnan, the audience who is also facing such a dilemma can maintain their good expectations for the future and insist on being themselves.

More is not like the place, such as the two of us have different experiences, different workplace environments, she may have to clock in to work, 9 to 5, to face a variety of pressure from the workplace and life, this I can empathize, have the psychology of empathy, problem-solving ability and face pressure I will be calmer than her.
Beijing News: What do you think of the friendship between Li Yingnan, Ai Ying, and Ying Xiaomei in the play?
Gao Lu: The friendship of three people is a harbor for girlfriends to talk to each other, and there may be some things that they really can't say to their lover and family, and they want someone to talk to. I think having girlfriends around is actually a very happy thing, at least you feel that you are not alone, you still have a place to talk, to vent your heart, to have the company of girlfriends, is a very lucky thing.
Beijing News: What is the most impressive scene in the play?
Gao Lu: The deepest impression is the scene in the snow, although there are no lines, just a scene that shows emotions, but that scene Daying is very happy, and I am also very happy.
