When Liu Jialing was young, it was a period of unlimited scenery in Hong Kong movies.
Under the powerful light of Lin Qingxia, Maggie Cheung, Wang Zuxian and others, Liu Jialing at that time was often said to be a "vase".
But in fact, Liu Jialing's strength is really seriously underestimated,
In "The Legend of Ah Fei", the dancer Mimi she played was bright and warm, and compared with Su Lizhen, played by Maggie Cheung, her acting skills were not bad at all.
However, since He Shengliang was born, the biggest light of "Ah Fei Zheng Biography" was still given to Maggie Cheung.
In this comparison, Liu Jialing wears a "vase" hat and follows the same trend and works harder.
Until 1997, she met director Zhang Zhiliang, and met his film about "women", "Self-Combing".
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > one: the spirited woman "Yi Huan"</h1>
Self-combing is a custom that has been passed down since ancient times in the Pearl River Delta.
In the former Pearl River Delta, unmarried women all combed their hair long, and after marrying, they changed their braids to buns, while self-combing women, when they were unmarried, coiled their braids into buns, indicating that they would never marry.
At that time, there were special gathering places for self-combing women, who provided protection for their kind, and even parents could not force self-combing women to marry, but once they were self-combing, they had to keep their virginity for life, otherwise they would be impregnated in pig cages.
The story of "Self-Combing" begins with a self-combing ceremony.
Yi Huan's (Yang Caini) father owes money to the old staff, and in desperation, he has the idea of selling Yi Huan to the staff as a concubine.
However, Yi Huan, who had long been interested in the people, refused to accept his father's arrangement, and ran into the Lienu Pond to ask for self-combing.
But just after the ceremony was over, the old father came to the door with his family members, and the desperate Yi Huan was forced to the river and picked up the scissors to force him to die.
In the face of the threat of Yi Huan, the family members were not moved, and even shouted that "if you have the ability, you will stab it."
Seeing that Yi Huan was about to raise his knife and cut himself, an accident occurred.
In a small boat that had been docked on the shore, the female guest who was slowly humming a song and watching everything suddenly shot out, threw a bag of silver dollars, redeemed herself for Yi Huan, and lifted the siege, but when Yi Huan looked back at the boat, the boat had long disappeared.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > two: the eighth aunt "Yuhuan"</h1>
After combing, Yi Huan and other self-combing women went to work in a textile factory.
One day, the boss brought back a woman from the Qinglou, and the female workers talked about the boss's new lover, and even some people said that the boss lady also learned of the woman's arrival and had set up a bureau to surround her.
Yi Huan did not care about this mysterious woman at first, but when she listened to the gossip of the female workers and prepared to work, she heard the familiar song of the female passengers on the boat on the night of being rescued, following the song, Yi Huan unexpectedly found that the woman was the person who saved herself that night, called Yuhuan (Liu Jialing).
In order to repay the grace of saving his life, Yi Huan hurriedly went forward to inform the Lady boss of Yuhuan that she was going to come to the siege, but said that it was late and fast, and Mrs. Dafang had already come to the two of them.
In the face of the love enemy, Mrs. Dafang was hurt by the exit, but she was pushed back by Yuhuan sentence by sentence, and she was so angry that she slapped her face, saying that it was late and fast, and Yi Huan blocked in front of Yuhuan and slapped her for her.
Yuhuan was shocked, but still did not show weakness in replying: he had married Mrs. Seven, and I would be the eighth, and when he finished, he left with Yi Huan.
Yuhuan saved Yihuan's life, and Yihuan slapped Yuhuan, the friendship between the two women quickly established, Yihuan became the most trusted person for Yuhuan to become the eighth aunt, she always let Yihuan help comb her hair, and even every time she went out, she had to take her with her.
One day, the husband took the jade ring out to socialize, but in order to negotiate business, he left the jade ring in the officer's client's home as a gift.
Yi Huan, who went together, saw that Yuhuan was detained and actually waited outside the officer's house for a day and a night, and even poured a heavy rain.
I thought that I could go ashore from the Qinglou, but I didn't want to be on the thief's boat, Yuhuan was sad and angry, and when she returned home, Yuhuan was angry and did not send it, but said: "I negotiated a big deal for you", and then left her husband's house with the reward he deserved.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three: jump and not be afraid of crushing bones for love</h1>
Yuhuan, who began to live alone, became Yi Huan's close friend, and the two talked about everything, but what Yuhuan didn't know was that Yi Huan had been hiding his own green plum bamboo horse in his heart.
Although self-combing women cannot break their virginity for life, many self-combing women will pay for their own in-laws to marry in order to have someone to worship after death.
When Yi Huan marries her sister-in-law as a dowry, she discovers that the groom is actually her childhood playmate (Qian Jiale).
That night, the groom faked marriage to the real cave room, and Yi Huan had the joy of fish and water.
The next day, Yuhuan first discovered that something was wrong with Yi Huan, and Yi Huan had to give up all the things about himself and Fa Xiao, but Yu Huan whispered after listening to it: "What about me?" And couldn't help but kiss Yi Huan, it turned out that she had already developed different feelings for Yi Huan.
However, Yi Huan was frightened, and she rejected Yuhuan.
Soon, Yi Huan was pregnant, she wanted to let the lover take herself away and fly high, but at this time she found that the lover was a man with no responsibility and no responsibility, he could not throw away his own thin land, and he was afraid that he would be immersed in a pig cage, but Yi Huan said: "I think of my own way." ”
So Yi Huan carried everyone behind her back to induce labor, and as a result, she almost died because of a major blood loss, and eventually she was sent to Yuhuan's home for help.
In order to save Yi Huan, the jade ring was scattered, but Yi Huan, who escaped from death, was always obsessed, always felt that there was no bondage of self-combing women, and the lover was willing to take himself away and fly high, but what he waited for was a farewell letter.
Yi Huan finally died completely and followed Yuhuan to Guangdong to survive. At that time, the Japanese army invaded, the situation was unstable, and everyone was running for their lives.
One day, Yuhuan met her ex-husband, who thought of her kindness and gave her a ticket to the United States.
Yuhuan was worried about Yi huan in his heart, and did not want to leave, and even tore up the ticket in front of Yi Huan, but they found that the ferry ticket divided into two looked like two complete tickets, so they planned to pass the customs in disguise.
However, on the day of boarding, the crowd surged and Yuhuan successfully boarded the ship, while Yi Huan was robbed of his halfway ticket and could not get on the boat.
The boat had already anchored, Yuhuan found that Yihuan was still stopped outside the dock, she did not hesitate in the slightest, resolutely jumped from the boat up to 10 meters high, Yihuan did not go, she did not go.
This jump is really handsome and exploded.
However, when Yuhuan returned to the shore, Japanese bombers also followed, the two were scattered by the crowd, before parting, Yuhuan gave his jade pendant to Yi Huan, as a souvenir, did not think, this parting is most of a lifetime.
Yuhuan looked for Yihuan for a lifetime, and Yihuan waited for Yuhuan with a jade pendant for a lifetime.
When the two said goodbye, they were already white-haired, but when they embraced each other, the director's camera flickered, but it was still the appearance of the two when they were young, half a hundred years, in the eyes of both, the other party did not change.
This movie is the biggest and boldest performance of Liu Jialing and Yang Caini, and it can be said that they have contributed to the fairy acting skills, especially Liu Jialing.
Some people say that Liu Jialing's film has no substitute for jumping, China has one less vase, and there is one more real actor, and it is true.
After the release of the movie, Liu Jialing was nominated for the Hong Kong Academy Awards as the first female protagonist, although she did not win, but let the industry see that Liu Jialing in addition to beauty, can completely support a play as an actress.
Up to now, the score of "Self-Combing" on Douban is as high as 8.4, and it has also become Liu Jialing's most acting performance masterpiece.
The texture of the whole movie of "Self-Combing" is quiet and comfortable, full of the taste of old Hong Kong films, and the love of two of the women does not make people feel uncomfortable, but feels that this friendship is very precious.
