Mixed-race Taiwan star Ji Peihui was mistaken for 16 years old before turning into a female magic makeup

The usually pure and sweet mixed-race Taiwanese actress Ji Peihui has a big breakthrough in her image, playing the main villain for the first time in the second season of HBO's new drama "Halfworlds", with black smoked eyes and lips with a white hair, exuding a terrifying evil atmosphere.

Hair spray white paint plays the female demon king

Ji Peihui, 27, said in a telephone interview with lianhe Zaobao that he could finally not care about the past image and let go and concentrate on playing a "crazy woman": "I played the evil female demon king this time, her personality was moody, and now she is pleasant, and the next second I can beat people with anger, which is very elusive, the emotional tension is very large, and the performance is very enjoyable." ”

Ji Peihui revealed that every day I had to spend two hours spraying my hair with white paint, and after filming, I had to spend an hour and a half washing off the white paint, "Fortunately, I only shot for four days, if I want to spray for a month, I should be bald, haha ..." Because the female demon king's style is very different from her real person, once she had to wait until after lunch before putting on makeup, the actors could not recognize her, and thought that her actual age was only 16 years old, which made her feel quite happy.

The second season continues to expand this magical worldview, and the background of the story shifts from Jakarta to the colorful streets of Bangkok, where there are also magic people, and the war between good and evil is on the verge of breaking out, with well-known actors from Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and other countries joining, and the lineup is stronger.

In 2014, Ji Peihui participated in HBO's original mini-series "Grace", which was nominated for the Asian Television Awards for Best Supporting Actress. The second time she participated in the HBO series, she saw the familiar staff again, and felt as if she was returning to her mother's house, which was very intimate.

Asked about the challenge of filming, she replied: "I speak Mandarin in the play, and the other actors speak English, so there will be a little gap in acting. The director and screenwriter gave me a lot of room to play, allowing me to translate the English script into Chinese and then perform it my way. Because the opponent could not understand the Chinese, she could not change the lines impromptuly, "If you want to change, you must inform everyone in advance, the other actors all say that I speak Mandarin as if Singing, although we talk with chickens and ducks, but the tacit understanding is full." "There are several action scenes in Ji Peihui's play, she did not receive any training in advance, and all the movements were learned on the spot." I feel that these movements are quite fresh, and I need to concentrate, feel the breath of the other person, and be ready to respond with a shot, like a fierce dance. ”
