The city is a place of shelter and a place of desire, full of excitement and surprises every day, in the flow of joy and sorrow, every urban person is looking for their own benchmarks and dreams. But how easy is it to become the ideal person? "I'm with Us" is a story of growth and transformation.
The drama shows the story of four post-90s urban women with very different personalities who inspire each other in order to pursue their dreams, and the drama has now ended.
As the main actor in the play, Ma Li once again starred in the "model girlfriend". In "I'm with Us", she played the "atypical rich second generation" Han Shuang, bringing the audience a counterattack road after experiencing bitter tempering in the growth process.
Many viewers said that "being a girlfriend with her is really a great blessing, she can help you fight grievances, help you save the scene, and help you solve the crisis." It's really good to have Han Shuang, and Ma Li's acting skills are really absolute."

A different "model girlfriend"
In the play, Han Shuang is a Geng zhihao Shuang girl who dares to love and hate, and does not hesitate to "insert a knife in both ribs" for his friends, and this personality is very similar to Ma Li, which is also the reason why this role attracts Ma Li.
"She dared to tell the truth with a poisonous mouth, and went straight to the point. People you meet in real life either have a knife in your smile or you go around, and it's rare to meet a person who tells the truth. ”
The difference is probably that Han Shuang's family is very superior, in order to adhere to her beliefs and resolutely jump out of the comfort zone arranged by her mother, do Internet celebrities at the same time in the fashion furniture store part-time shopping guide, incarnate as a "hit worker" inspirational hard work.
"I'm not as generous as she is, after all, I'm still a hard-working eighteen-line artist," Ma Li laughed at himself.
Han Shuang is as frank and crisp as her name, as an "atypical rich second generation", although she has a good family, she is not willing to rely on a good family to work hard all her life, and still work hard for her career; although she is a knife mouth, when her friends around her encounter a crisis, she is willing to stand up.
At the beginning of the episode, there was a scene in which Han Shuang took the lead for his girlfriend and made a big fuss about the horse grabbing bridge at the wedding scene of the scumbag man.
Ma Li felt that Han Shuang's approach was too direct, and she confessed, "If I encounter such a thing, I will definitely hide my girlfriend, and I will definitely tell her." Second, after telling her the truth, I will observe her reaction, if my girlfriend believes in her boyfriend, then I will not say it, but I will not see these two people again, and everyone in life will think about it a little more carefully. ”
One of the lines in the play that makes Ma Li feel empathetic is "My home is not big or small, just a few boxes." ”
Although Han Shuang's family is very rich, her heart is actually relatively lonely. She lived alone in a three- or four-story villa, alone. That's why she keeps staying in the hotel, because the hotel is just to play, to be less lonely. For professional reasons, I also kept staying in hotels and moving boxes, and we were like a mirror. ”

Strive to be an independent woman
In the past two years, the hottest topics seem to have something to do with women's ages. From the popular network variety show to the success of women's theme dramas, it fully shows that the interaction between various types of characters in modern urban themes creates friction and sparks, which can resonate with the audience to the greatest extent.
To understand the female narrative, the meaning of the title is "a thousand faces", which is also the charm of female group portraits on the screen.
When it comes to independent women, Ma Li feels that the traits that independent women should have should be to have independent thinking ability, and then to pursue, and to be able to achieve it independently, without relying on others.
"I think Han Shuang also longs to become such a person in the end." The common goal is actually to become an independent woman in the new era, but there must be a stage of growth. ”
In the process of shaping, Ma Li also perceived the other side of Han Shuang. "She's actually a paper tiger inside, and her mouth is extremely hard."
In the scene where Han Shuang reconciles with four good girlfriends in the finale, Han Shuang has actually forgiven the good girlfriend in her heart, or she actually wants to go to that party in her heart, but she must give me countless steps before she can take this step.
"Because Han Shuang is actually very timid inside, he must pretend to be full of thorns to protect himself."
And these girlfriends in the play also let Ma Li have some thoughts and feelings about the friendship in life.
"After this play, I really don't argue with the people around me, because I find that people only lose their temper with people who are very close to me and say particularly hurtful things. In the play, because of the needs of the plot, it will be written like this, but in reality, people's feelings are very fragile. After we say hurtful words, we will also fall into a kind of self-blame, feel very inappropriate for our own behavior, and regret why we use this attitude towards our close people and those who love ourselves. ”
"So after this play, I don't argue with anyone anymore. I'd rather be aggrieved than say it. ”

Blossom and grow in characters
In the chat, it is not difficult to find that in the heart of this big grinning girl, Ma Li has a very calm and self-assured side in her personality. She frankly said that she was never the most satisfied with her performance.
"I often pick out some clips that I particularly care about, and look at them from the perspective of the audience, where the performance is not good, from my current point of view, can I act better."
Then I went to look at the comments of the bullet screen, and I wanted to know which places made the audience jump, or which places I didn't understand well.
The third time I look at it from the perspective of the character, it is as if I go back to see it myself, just like correcting the wrong word, revising the test paper, looking at it like this, so there is no most satisfaction, I will never be satisfied. ”
In this era of obvious character labeling, film and television dramas are either tall and decent characters, perfect to impeccable, or despicable villains, with no merits, bad to the bone, and a character who makes people love and hate and has a dual physique is very few.
Han Shuang is such a rare person, debuting for many years, Ma Li once again borrowed this "model girlfriend" to win the recognition of the audience. But casually search for her acting experience, you will find that whether it is Hao Wuyi in "I Only Like You", Xiao Xiao in "Happy 520", or Han Shuang in "I Am With Us", the roles she plays are basically eccentric, dare to love and hate girls, and this seems to have become a label on her.
"The characters I play are too neurotic, too girly," Ma Li sighed.
"I recently want to play a role that is completely different from myself, a person who is not too girly, does not talk much, and buries her emotions in her heart, just like the big cousin (Xiang Nan in "I Am With Us"),, a sister who is strong, mature and free, calm and introverted, and can tolerate others." 」
Ma Li is very sober, "Of course, before I meet this role again, my own heart must be strong."
There is no end to acting, as you grow older, you will be more mature, the understanding of the character will be deeper, the deeper you go to human nature, the thicker the play will be, and the higher the requirements for actors. The amount of information released when you mature will become larger and larger, and there will be new and different things coming out of life, to a state of "looking at mountains is not mountains, seeing water is not water".
Looking forward to seeing The growth of Ma Li from a girl to a woman bloom.
