When Song Yi was filming "The Pretender", he couldn't get past a scene after filming more than a dozen times, and the director was so angry that he scolded: Can you shoot it? Can't shoot the fuck off! In the end, it was Hu Ge who saved the scene with wit.
When Song Yi first entered the entertainment industry, she has not been able to attract the attention of the audience, and the TV series she participated in were all small roles with a meager salary.
After two years like this, Song Yi lost confidence a little, feeling that he might not be suitable for the entertainment industry, and he had begun to consider changing careers.
When she was about to quit the entertainment industry, she received a call from director Li Xue, who asked her to audition for a role in the new drama "The Pretender".
Song Yi was not hopeful, but he still went to the audition site. She didn't know that Li Xue had already appointed her as the candidate for the second female role of "Yu Manli" in the play.
On the day of the audition, Song Yi appeared in the crew wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans. Originally, she wanted to try out the role of Wang Manchun, a strong woman, but her petite body couldn't show Wang Manchun's strong aura at all.
Li Xue watched her try the play for a while, so she smiled and asked people to call Song Yi back.
"You still play Yu Manli, this role is more in line with you." Li Xue said.
Song Yi was a little disappointed at first, but after thinking about it, it is a rare opportunity to star in his favorite spy war drama, and Yu Manli is also a very important female character, she will definitely go all out and will never live up to the director's weight.
The role of Yu Manli is indeed very suitable for Song Yi, the military uniform is heroic, the casual clothes are charming and moving, and the cheongsam is even more impressive. The audience finally noticed Song Yi, and she became the brightest star in the play.
In order to interpret the role of this female agent as accurately as possible, Song Yi put a lot of effort into it. She first watched a large number of movies and TV series with related themes, studied all aspects of female agents' dress, speech, and movements, and then also learned extra combat and sanda to pave the way for action scenes.
When she was actually filming, she did all the actions herself, and she didn't use a stand-in at all.
During the filming process, Song Yi's dedicated performance won Li Xue's affirmation. In addition to action scenes, she also grasped all kinds of emotional scenes very well, and cooperated tacitly with the actor Hu Ge and other main actors.
The crew all said that Song Yi was one of the most diligent and dedicated newcomers they had ever met.
Of course, there will inevitably be some difficulties in the process of filming. There is a scene where Song Yi's character sacrifice requires the actor to bury her with his own hands.
This scene has high requirements for the emotional expression and subtle expression control of the two people. But when it came to actual shooting, director Li Xue was very dissatisfied.
The main problem is that when Hu Ge covers Song Yi's face, Song Yi's eyelashes will always flutter slightly, which looks very obvious in front of the camera.
But this can't be blamed on Song Yi, after all, this is a physiological reaction and it is difficult to control. took more than a dozen back and forth shots, and Li Xue didn't think the picture was perfect enough.
"I need a picture of sincere and delicate feelings! You're giving me such an unprofessional thing? Li Xue roared angrily.
Seeing this, the staff hurriedly persuaded Li Xue to calm down, and found Song Yi to say that this was not her intention, but just careless, and hoped that the director would be tolerant and understanding.
Li Xue was still furious and asked Song Yi to get out of the way immediately and never appear in her crew again, which made Song Yi frightened.
At this moment, the actor Hu Ge hurriedly proposed to gently cover Song Yi's face with a handkerchief, which could not only express his sorrow, but also cover the subtle changes in expression.
Li Xue calmed down after hearing this, and thought that this method was feasible, so she adopted Hu Ge's suggestion and finally passed the filming.
Unexpectedly, after the broadcast of "The Pretender", the response was enthusiastic, and Song Yi's Yu Manli also became one of the audience's favorite characters. An originally unknown newcomer suddenly became popular overnight, which caught Song Yi himself off guard. She finally understood that she was not unsuitable for the entertainment industry, but she had never encountered a suitable opportunity.
Being able to successfully play the second female role of Yu Manli is a major turning point for Song Yi. This role not only promoted her from a nobody to a first-line flower at once, but also won the attention and love of many audiences because of her beauty and eye-catching.
Song Yi became an instant hit with "The Pretender", marking a new page in her acting career. This gave her a lot of encouragement and made her understand that as long as she is willing to put in the effort, she will definitely achieve something.
Since then, Song Yi has chosen many high-quality works one after another, and his acting skills have been improving. Now she is already a well-known first-line actress.
