In 2015, Mai Zhiyi (right) starred naked with Liao Ziyu and Guo Yixin in the third-level film "Classmates". (Hong Kong News) 28-year-old Hong Kong actress Mai Zhiyi played the friend of the heroine Chen Jing in the new film "Baby Revenge", and this is also the second time she has cooperated with director Lu Yixin. Looking back, her first film was the third-grade film "Classmates" starring Lu Yixin in 2015, which caused a hot topic at the time, but it also became an obstacle to her job search!
Mai Zhiyi confessed that a large company had asked her to go to work, but told her two days before the start of work that she had cancelled her employment because she had made a third-level film. In 2015, she stood out in nearly 2,000 auditions, and became the protagonist of the third-level film "Classmate" with Liao Ziyu and Guo Yixin, playing a girl who assisted the friendship and performed naked in the play, leaving a deep impression on the audience but affecting her future development. According to the "Hong Kong 01" report, Mai Zhiyi was rejected by advertisers because she had filmed nude scenes, and there was no producer looking for her as a leading role for a while; later she also went to a large company to apply for a job, but after admission, she received a notice two days before reporting to work, because she had filmed a third-level film and told her not to use it to work, which made her feel aggrieved and spit bitter water in the face, "After shooting a third-level film, will it really be the same level (level)as killing people and letting go of the fire? Even if you pass the interval, perform well on the training, and are found to have made a tertiary film, oops sorry you are out." Not only this, but also the financial company rejected her for the same reason, and the client pointed out that "Classmate" is not only a "three-level film", but also an "A-movie", which makes her livelihood difficult. Fortunately, at that time, director Peng Haoxiang reached out to help, let her make a cameo appearance in the movie "Chunjiao Save Zhiming" as a costume assistant, and she did not accept defeat, relying on being a part-time clerk and successively acting in sporadic movies, finally surviving the low tide of life.
Mai Zhiyi once spat bitter water on the face: filming a third-level film is equivalent to killing people and setting fires.
