Not long ago, Ma Yili and the article appeared together to accompany their daughter to participate in a dance competition, but the two were different throughout the whole process and always maintained a distance.
At the beginning, the two were recognized as golden children in the circle.
After the divorce, Ma Yili, living with her daughter, work and life without delay, became a big heroine, coincidentally, in "The First Half of My Life", Luo Zijun, played by Ma Yili, also suffered a marriage change, from a pampered full-time wife, gradually independent and self-reliant.
After the drama was released, in addition to the traffic of the topic, netizens lamented that the big coffee gathered, and everyone's performance was remarkable, which was exemplary.
It can be seen that the original creative team also made a lot of hard work in the selection of actors.
In 2016, "Chinese-style Relations" was released, and Chen Jianbin Ma Yili, who seemed to be incompatible, but he wiped out a different spark, which was full of highlights.
Director Shen Yan did not say anything, his heart blossomed, and when he was preparing to shoot "The First Half of My Life", he directly sent the script to Ma Yili.
After Ma Yili saw it, if he got the most precious treasure, he readily agreed, but the director was a little worried.
The emotional experience inside and outside the play is similar, and it is difficult for the audience not to discuss the real life state of the actor, can Ma Yili accept it?
Unexpectedly, Ma Yili behaved very firmly, she said that she is an actor, and the standard for taking over the role is whether the script is good or not, whether the role is worth it, and others do not consider.
Ma Yili's attitude gave the director a dose of reassurance, but she also made a request, hoping to participate in the casting of male actors.
At first, the director took out a photo of Pan Yueming and asked Ma Yili: "How about you two acting against each other?" She directly refused: "The image is too correct, and the audience is not easy to enter the play." ”
At this time, Lei Jiayin, who was working intensively to shoot "Peace Hotel", did not expect that he would become a recommended candidate for Ma Yili.
When he was "seeing you on Monday" that year, he was filming "Love Mission Impossible" with the heroine of the event, and the originally hot drama was greatly damaged, and Lei Jiayin's own career was also affected.
Ma Yili told the director that Lei Jiayin looked very festive, a smile was quite bright, quiet and sad when he did not smile. I wanted to cry when I saw that face, I couldn't hate it at all, he was too suitable to play her ex-husband.
It's hard to match an actor, you have to take it.
At that time, Ma Yili, Jin Dong, Yuan Quan, Chen Daoming and other major actors had already been determined, and the director became a "heart and mind BOY" and sent this list of actors first.
Lei Jiayin took a look: My God, this is all a big coffee, looking for me to act, is it to prove that I am also, of course, I have to go!
In the middle of the heart, the director sent the script in the next second, and solved a difficult problem, but just a few days after being happy, Lei Jiayin's phone call came.
Originally, he just watched five episodes, and he felt that it was not right: this Chen Junsheng is a proper scumbag, I want to act, the audience must not scold me, people Li Mingqi teacher, now the glass at home is still smashed.
"No, director, I can't act." Director Shen Yan's heart suddenly hung up again, but he still had confidence in this role, and he advised Lei Jiayin to read the script first before making a decision.
Lin also added a key sentence: "Jiayin, I can tell you, Teacher Chen Daoming read this book, liked it very much, and said that he was 20 years younger, and must play Chen Junsheng." ”
In this way, Lei Jiayin insisted on reading the entire script, and felt that the character of Chen Junsheng was indeed very plump and tested his acting skills, so he gladly took it.
It turns out that the director's persistence is right, and Lei Jiayin has a lot of ideas in acting.
There is a passage of Chen Junsheng calling downstairs, the director asked to sit quietly for a while after the fight, at this time to join Ma Yili's voiceover, but Lei Jiayin took the initiative to request, after the phone call, he "dried" a few times to express his inner entanglement.
Lei Jiayin's interpretation of Chen Junsheng has rich and thick characters. After finally filing for divorce, he did not feel relieved, but his facial features were "condensed" together, showing extreme pain; when facing Zijun's family, the look of guilt was conveyed in his eyes.
The detailed expression of his in place makes the "ex-husband brother" slaggy and warm, and after the broadcast, the audience does not scold and exaggerate.
Ma Yili accidentally brought fire and thunder Jiayin this time, which can also be regarded as paying off a "debt" for the article of that year.
In addition to the role of Chen Junsheng, Ma Yili also wants to call his girlfriend Liu Zi to play the girlfriend Tang Jing in the play, after all, the real girlfriend plays a girlfriend, which will be more tacit.
Liu Zi is also sincere, received a girlfriend call, as soon as he got off the plane, he directly ran to the audition, not to mention the unkempt face, the gray head and dirty face are also there, the director took a look at "This is not OKAY!" ”
At that time, Liu Zi had diarrhea for three consecutive days, and he did not take a good look before the crew, and his state was very bad. For the sake of acquaintances, the director agreed to adjust it and come back the next day.
This time, Liu Zike carefully prepared, and the director felt that the beauty was too much and the aura was insufficient.
This is not the only time Liu Zi missed the role, the director of "Know It or Not" selected her to play the big lady, but after a few episodes, Liu Zi automatically gave up, and she felt that she could not play that feeling.
Later, Liu Lin took over the role, contributed most of the funny responsibilities, and attracted countless fans with her role. Missed two important roles in a row, I don't know if Liu Zi has regrets?
When reconsidering the candidates, the director thought of Yuan Quan. But with Yuan Quan's popularity, can she condescend to play a female number two?
With the attitude of trying it out, the director sent the script first, and unexpectedly, Yuan Quan quickly responded. The director couldn't believe it and repeatedly confirmed with the other party: this is not the female number one.
Yuan Quan said that he only looked at whether the role could impress people, not the position. Sure enough, the more big coffee, the more they have their own pursuits.
The director is happy!
It turns out that Shen Yan looks at the right person, and Yuan Quan also chooses the right role.
In the play, Tang Jing, played by her, is fierce, decisive in killing, enthusiastically helps friends, treats enemies without mercy, and there is also the gentleness of a small woman behind the strong woman in the workplace.
Anything happens to Zijun in the play, she does not hesitate to rush to the front, netizens said: the best girlfriend in history.
Director Zhao Baogang once praised: She played Tang Jingtai Niu! I didn't even envy it, Yuan Quan, I have asked for it several times and I have not moved.
Yuan Quan really played Tang Jing to the extreme, so that after the broadcast, the audience once talked about Tang Jing more than the protagonist Zijun.
Actors and roles achieve each other, Yuan Quan makes Tang Jing's role more three-dimensional and fuller, and playing Tang Jing also allows the audience to have a deeper understanding of Yuan Quan's acting skills and role processing.
To say that in this play, the most hated character with itchy teeth is also the "little three" Ling Ling, which is the culprit that led to Chen Junsheng's divorce from Luo Zijun.
This role, the director originally preferred Haiqing, but after reading the script, Haiqing felt that his girlfriend Wu Yue was more suitable, a phone call: "There is a role that is very suitable for you, but the character is not very pleasing, do you play?" ”
After Wu Yue read the book, he also felt that the role of Ling Ling was very challenging and worth trying, but he was old and not beautiful, and he did not conform to the image of Xiao San.
"Can I rob Ma Yili's husband?" Who believes? ”
The director was very happy to learn that Wu Yue could come to play, and hurriedly explained that this third party is different from the traditional sense of the little three, she has her own pursuits and goals.
Wu Yue put her mind at ease, she also successfully performed Ling Ling's disgusting face, after the broadcast, there was no accident, she was insulted by netizens, which once led to the closure of social platform comments.
Wu Yue, who has always been smooth sailing, has never seen this scene, and even thinks of never acting again.
Later, it was still the male girlfriend Xu Zheng who called to comfort, the more the audience scolded, the more you have to continue to do yourself, do not be carried away by the attitude of netizens.
Wu's father also advised his daughter that an actor cannot always be a "guest on the seat", and sometimes it may be a "prisoner under the stage".
Slowly, Wu Yue also accepted the matter of being scolded.
Luo Zijun, Tang Jing, Ling Ling, the three characters, although there are many contradictions in the play, but in fact, they are privately in love with their sisters, and the three have a common pursuit of acting, and their attitude towards the role also has a tacit understanding.
Coincidentally, the three people's emotional experiences are also very similar.
Ma Yili naturally did not need to say it again; when Yuan Quan and Xia Yu were in love, they were also inserted by Gao Yuanyuan, although it was later clarified, but netizens thought that there was no wind and no waves; and Wu Yue had already talked with Chen Jianbin about marriage, but the other party suddenly moved everything, and it didn't take long for him to talk about love with Jiang Qinqin.
Now the three of them appear in this way in the love dispute established by art, and the audience laments that the source of art is life.
The director told Lei Jiayin that Chen Daoming wanted to play Chen Junsheng, this is not a mouthful, Chen Daoming did come, but played a life wise man Lao Zhuo.
Lao Zhuo runs a late-night tavern, and although he and Zijun rarely have direct rivalry, they have been watching the protagonists come and go with the attitude of outsiders, and they know Zijun Tang Jinghehan very well, and they are a soul figure.
Chen Daoming can make a cameo appearance in such a role, which is entirely based on his personal friendship with director Shen Yan.
More than ten years ago, Shen Yan was just an obscure small advertising director, and he met Chen Daoming by chance and was very close.
Chen Daoming admired Shen Yan very much, and since then, he has always had the opportunity to not forget to carry it. In 2003, Shen Yan directed "Chinese-style Divorce", also due to Chen Daoming's strong recommendation.
Later, the two successively cooperated in dramas such as "Our Youth Without a Place" and "Mobile Phone", and established a deep friendship.
So this time, although he was not the main actor, Chen Daoming still spent almost all his time in the crew, on the one hand, to help Shen Yan coordinate some things, on the other hand, he also wanted to see how these young actors acted.
As an old drama bone, Chen Daoming has no shelf at all, and he is also exposed, often giving snacks to everyone on the set.
Another male actor, Jin Dong, did not send snacks, and as soon as he entered the group, he sent a lipstick set box to each female colleague.
I think at the beginning, in order to invite him to play He Han, the producer Huang Lan still spent a lot of words, so that he directly launched a "complaint" at the award ceremony, who let him be the producer, this complaint had to continue.
In the play, He Han is not accustomed to Zijun at first, to provide help, and then to secretly have feelings, and his mood is changing, but the overbearing president-style performance remains unchanged.
The old way is old, but it works, after watching the play, how many girls call out affectionately: God owes me a He Han!
It is no wonder that Zijun is moved.
But old cadres also have times when they can't hold back.
There was a kiss scene between He Han and Tang Jing, Yuan Quan kissed over, and Jin Dong was immediately shy like a little boy who had just opened his heart.
Later, when asked about his feelings in the interview, he blushed and said: Don't look for me in the future.
Probably Jin Dong relied on this special "cute" point to conquer the audience.
The reason why "The First Half of My Life" was successful was that on the one hand, the actors were well selected, and on the other hand, the whole production team was really careful.
Director Shen Yan revealed that in order to be more grounded, the character background chose the real consulting industry.
Before filming began, Wu Yue and other relevant actors went to McKinsey to experience life, and the screenwriter also invited the company's consultants and project managers to do in-depth interviews.
There may still be many things wrong in the eyes of professionals, but at least the audience feels credible.
In terms of photography, the crew specially found a small photography team to shoot empty mirrors, so as to ensure the efficiency and ensure the aesthetic height of the picture.
It is these exquisite craftsmanship, as soon as this drama is released, without too much publicity, it quickly occupies the audience's attention and attracts wide attention, "The First Half of My Life" has also become a typical hot manufacturing machine, and has won 8 nominations for the Magnolia Award, and Ma Yili has won the Magnolia Best Actress Award.
Readers will always have different voices when they look at Yi Shu's love, and enlarging the text on the screen is also to trigger the audience's thinking about real life.
Do not blindly pursue a happy ending, dare to unveil the veil of truth, present it in front of the public, and trigger discussion, which is the meaning of film and television drama enlightenment.
"The First Half of My Life" tells us a naked reality: girls must be independent, so that when they encounter a situation, they can turn around or exit gracefully.
As Ma Yili said, people must first learn to love themselves, and others will love you.
Give others the right to love themselves and give themselves the ability to protect themselves. Love, please enjoy; no love, be brave and leave.
