There is a well-known FU fund theory that refers to a woman working hard, saving a sum of money for herself, and then naming that money an "F-U" fund. That way, when someone wants to fire you, or has a job you don't like, you can say "F-U" to the other person out loud and then turn around and walk away. The person who said this is the most popular Chinese actress in Hollywood at the moment: Liu Yuling.
It is not an exaggeration to describe her as "the most popular Chinese actress in Hollywood". The shape is changeable, elegant and feminine. In fact, Liu Yuling has been famous for many years, and can be said to be the most well-known Chinese star in Hollywood, and the classic animation film "Mulan" filmed by Disney in 1998 was made according to her appearance.
Liu Yuling is only 1.57 meters tall, thin and small, under the eyes of Hollywood's contempt for Asian actors, she bravely broke through, constantly shaping vivid roles, and became a director and producer. It can be said that she is more than 50 years old this year, and she has indeed lived out the momentum of two meters and eight meters.
She is the second Ever Chinese actress to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. You know, this honor is not only related to the reputation of the recipient, but the recognition of the entire industry for his entire acting career. Previously, the Chinese on the Avenue of Stars were only Bruce Lee, Huang Liushuang and Jackie Chan.
Liu Yuling, born in Queens, New York in 1968, her parents are pure Chinese, until the age of three, Liu Yuling can only speak Chinese, and until now, one of her favorite breakfasts is still rice porridge. Although she is a descendant of immigrants, Liu Yuling, as a child, did not have a rich life. My parents had just arrived in New York, everything was starting over, and life was struggling. How hard those days were, in the words of Li Yuling, was "as long as I put it in front of me, I will eat it."
From 1990, when she officially entered the show business circle, to 2000, before the release of "Thunderbolt Baby", Liu Yuling ran a dragon suit in Hollywood for 10 years. During this period, Liu Yuling also starred in some well-known works, such as the 1997 TV series "Sweetheart Pretty Lady" and the 1999 crime action film "Dangerous People". But she can only play some inconspicuous small roles, or villains, and there are very few shots given. It wasn't until 2000 that Thunderbolt Came Out.
This film completely changed Liu Yuling's acting path and let her enter the mainstream vision. The film features three beating women as the protagonists, describing the process of hoeing and punishing evil and upholding justice. Later, it became a classic female action film in the history of Western cinema. Among them, Liu Yuling is one of the three heroines, and she was also nominated for the Saturn Award and the MTV Movie Award that year. With the popularity of "Thunderbolt Baby" around the world, Liu Yuling has also become a well-known popular actress. Overnight, everyone learned that there was a Chinese actress in Hollywood named Liu Yuling.
Liu Yuling recently talked in detail about a conflict between her and Bill Murray during the filming of the 2000 film "Thunderbolt Baby" in a podcast program recently, saying that Murray had improperly abused herself and she had not blindly endured it.
Liu Yuling recalled: At that time, there was a scene in the film that was modified, Murray did not participate in the revision work because he went to a family gathering, and he did not know about it, and everyone else related to this scene was involved, and the scene was processed more smoothly. Liu Yuling was the last cast to be chosen, and she thought that the privileges she had in terms of creation at that time may be relatively minimal.
Later, when rehearsing this scene, Murray, who returned to the set, found that the scene had changed, and began to scold Liu Yuling and chattered. I said, "Excuse me, are you talking to me?" And obviously, he is. Because then it starts to become a one-on-one communication. ”
Liu Yuling believes that Murray's behavior is unfair and inappropriate, and some of the things he says to himself are unforgivable and unacceptable, although she is not so big-name and does not want to suffer in silence. "I stood up and defended myself, and I don't regret it. For no matter how low you are in the hierarchy, no matter where you come from, it is not advisable to treat others with a sense of superiority and to belittle others. I shouldn't and won't suffer in silence, and neither do I. ”
She also said that in the years since, there have been some conflicts in which the crew who were present at the time offered to express their gratitude to her, "I remember a few years later, even decades later, some crew members I didn't know at the time came to me on other sets and said: They were there, and they were very grateful for what I did." Liu Yuling said that there is no gap with Murray himself, "I have no opinion on him." After that, we met at the SNL reunion event and he came to me with a nice attitude. But I'm not going to sit there and let people attack me. ”
