Text | Mi Li's mother
Two days ago, Mi Li's mother just ate the big melon that South Korea's No. 1 CP "Dog Good" broke up.
I thought it would be outrageous for Hyeri to apologize, but I didn't expect the plot to develop rapidly in the past few days.
How much he loves men is even more evident.
Before letting his current girlfriend pull his ex-girlfriend's hair and open the microphone passionately, he was scolded by the whole network, and Yoo Junyeol was always beautiful and invisible.
As a result, on March 30, he issued an unprecedented notice, which was nothing more than a breakup notice. Only two weeks have passed since the news of the public relationship between the two, and he officially announced that he had broken up with Han Suxi.
This love affair is like a huge firework that catches everyone's eyeballs, and then explodes violently, exploding into a mess.
After the bloody love affair was exposed, Han Suxie's business endorsement went wild, the advertiser of Nonghyup Bank did not renew the contract, and the cooperative second-hand car website quickly closed the comment area of Han Suxi's advertisement, and the endorsed soju also quickly changed the spokesperson.
No wonder this sister broke her defense and went crazy.
But on the other hand, the actor of this turmoil is almost unscathed!
After returning from Hawaii, he attended the event of a fashion brand for the first time, and a new drama will be broadcast soon, he should shoot and shoot, the event and activity, being hammered and cowardly seems to have no effect on him at all, and there are still a lot of scripts waiting for him.
It's all 4202, and South Korea's male superiority and inferiority still seem to be engraved in the genes, especially in the entertainment industry, and they love men to the core.
In the Chungmuro film circle, the highest honor for Korean actors, how many bad artists such as drug addiction and marital cheating are still active in front of the stage.
is also a Zhongmuro actor, and won one excellent actress after another in the three Korean film awards, but she was chased and scolded for several years just because she starred in a film work with female consciousness.
That's right, Mi Li's mother is talking about Zheng Yumei, the queen of Zhongwu Road.
Recently, she won the Blue Dragon Award for Best Actress for her wonderful performance in the movie "Sleep", which is the second time she has won the Blue Dragon Award, one of the highest awards in Korean cinema.
After winning the award, she shared the good news with everyone on ins, and many fans also congratulated her.
However, in the midst of the congratulations, there was a hint of harshness.
Someone left a message: "As an actor, wouldn't you be ashamed to win Best Actress? From the audience's point of view, it's really ridiculous." ”
Obviously, Zheng Yumei also thought this message was ridiculous and ridiculous, so she asked rhetorically, "Audience?"
Fortunately, many netizens also stood up to speak for her and fought for her.
I really didn't expect that because she starred in a movie, this actress with super business ability could be chased and scolded for five years.
Maybe many people are not familiar with this name, but I say a movie, everyone will definitely suddenly understand.
This movie is "Kim Ji-young Born in 82", which is adapted from the novel of the same name.
In fact, strictly speaking, this is not a feminist work, and the book just truthfully describes the story of what ordinary Korean women experienced when they were growing up.
However, just describing the daily life of the girls has made countless Korean men break their defenses.
In this place where there is too much patriarchal consciousness, it is wrong for women to even look at and think about their own upbringing, and the reason is simply that they are afraid that more and more women will grow their brains and ideas and no longer be at their mercy.
▲ Zheng Yumei and friends
After the publication of this novel, a total of 1 million copies were sold, and Kim Ji-young's various experiences during his growth also resonated greatly with young and middle-aged women in South Korea.
At the same time, however, the reaction of many Korean men is incredible.
▲ Red is a woman's comment, and blue is a man's comment
Their opposition to this work is getting louder and louder, and the three words "Kim Ji-young" are like a forbidden area for them, they can't mention it, and they break the defense when they mention it, and they even start harassing female artists who have read this book.
They cut out small cards, burned posters, and publicly abused female artists.
Irene, a member of the South Korean girl group Red velvet, Seo-hyun, a member of AOA, and so-young, a member of Girls' Generation, have all been intimidated for mentioning that they had read the book.
When this group of men learned that this work was going to be filmed, they even went to the presidential office of the Blue House in South Korea to petition to express their opposition, how is this not a kind of incompetent rage?
However, in such a bad public opinion environment, Zheng Yumei firmly chose this script.
She said: "As soon as I read the script, I felt that I had to choose this one. It feels like a character that can be played in its true colors and easily controlled, without any embellishment or adjustment, but instinctively feels that I should play this work. ”
Sure enough, her portrayal of the characters in the movie has made countless women empathize, and many girls have said that they "cried with Kim Ji-young from beginning to end", and it can even be said that she is completely one with "Kim Ji-young".
But among the male group, Zheng Yumei received countless bad comments with vulgar language, received death threats, and was scolded for being on NAVER headlines (that is, the Korean hot search page) for several days, losing more than 100,000 fans.
They scolded the work for "making a big fuss, exaggerating facts, and reversing black and white", and even listed it as a "banned film". Mi Li's mother only thinks that the performance of these men is not the closed loop of the movie in reality?
▲ I laughed at the comments
The ironic effect is full.
Of course, reality also taught them a lesson, Zheng Yumei, who was maliciously abused by them, won the Dazhong Award for actress in one fell swoop with her excellent performance in the movie, and was nominated for Best Actress at the Blue Dragon Award and Baeksang Art Awards.
There is no doubt that this is an affirmation of Jung Yu-mi by the entire Korean film industry, and it is also a kind of support for women's expression.
Since then, many people have begun to regard Zheng Yumi as a benchmark actor of South Korea's "female narrative", but this sister's excellence is far more than what can be summarized by a "female benchmark".
This sister is a serious student and graduated from the Film Department of Seoul National University of the Arts.
During her studies, she starred in a short film "How to Use Polaroids", which won several awards at the Korean Short Film Festival and is still used as a model work in Korean film classes.
And Zheng Yumei's pure and natural acting skills with a hint of youth were discovered by the famous director Jin Zhiyun, and she was taken into Zhongwu Road the next year.
In the first movie "Wisdom Teeth" officially starred, she gave a particularly outstanding performance as a supporting role, with a pair of smart eyes and eye waves, which perfectly interpreted the tangled heart of a young and hesitant girl.
She also won the Baeksang Arts Awards for Newcomer Actress in the Film Division.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Yumei took advantage of the victory to chase and contributed superb acting skills in the movie "The Birth of a Family", and won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Blue Dragon Award in one fell swoop.
You must know that at this time, she had just graduated from college, and it had been less than two years since her official debut, and she had already won two of the three top awards at the Korean Film Festival.
However, she is not nostalgic for such a high-flying acting road.
Her criteria for choosing a script must be to follow her inner voice, and what moves her can only be the story of the script itself.
So those routine blockbusters that can help her quickly increase her popularity and be particularly commercialized are almost not in her consideration. No matter how grand the production is and how high the salary is, as long as the story can't touch her heart, she will politely refuse.
In those years, Zheng Yumei took over a lot of niche and literary films, and she would also support some new directors with ideas, even if she didn't get paid, regardless of the character image, and even the film might not be released, she was willing to try to play some very challenging roles.
Although she is worse than other Chungmuro actresses in terms of popularity, and her salary is not as good as that of super first-line actors, she has always been willing, because those works are what she wants to express from the bottom of her heart.
In these years of trying, she has gradually figured out her own way of acting, which is very life-like and delicate, and there is no trace of deliberate performance at all.
Her acting skills also make the movie itself more real and moving.
In addition to loving literary films and striving for excellence in acting, Zheng Yumei also has a strong sense of social responsibility.
In 2011, she took on a film that changed the laws of South Korea - "The Crucible".
This movie is based on the novel of the same name written by real events, Kong Liu was particularly shocked after seeing this novel, he tried his best to promote the film and television of the novel, took the initiative to invite Ying to play the leading role, and invited his friend Zheng Yumei from the same company to star together.
At that time, the intertwined relationship behind this case, and the unclear attitude of the relevant departments, it can be said that the two blocked the future of the actors before making this movie.
Zheng Yumei feels that after making this movie, even if it is banned, it is worth it, because protecting minors is also the duty of an actor.
After the release of the movie, it caused an uproar, and public opinion directly forced the relevant responsible persons to restart the case, and directly promoted the South Korean National Assembly to formulate the "Partial Amendment to the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes", which is also known as the "Melting Pot Law".
▲ but in order not to be changed by the world
So later decided to play "Kim Ji-young", which is also a sense of mission and responsibility for her, and a brave expression of her identity as a woman, as long as she believes that it is correct, no matter what the consequences, she will bear it.
Going back to the beginning, we mentioned the impact of Han Liu's word-of-mouth overturn on their business, it seems that today's South Korea is still a country that treats men especially leniently, and they make mistakes without having to bear any consequences.
Of course, Mi Li's mother is not exculpating Han Suxi, she should also pay a real price for her choice, but as the other party in the incident, or the "culprit", why did Yoo Junyeol escape?
On the other hand, Zheng Yumei, the actress of the Blue Dragon Award, who is hundreds of times stronger than her business ability, was chased and scolded for 5 years just because she starred in an excellent film "Kim Ji-young Born in 82".
But even so, she has never regretted starring in "Kim Ji-young", she will only hand over better works and resist more bravely, Zheng Yumi expresses her attitude in her own way.
I believe that with seniors like her as pioneers and role models, there will definitely be more "Zheng Yumei" who will stand up in the future.
And we just need to be ready for applause, cheers and flowers.
