Whether it is the three young grandmothers of "Golden Powder Family", Wu Xiachun of "Golden Years", or Liu Qingniang in "Miss Beiping", Liu Jiajia's shrewd and calculating image of a young woman in cheongsam is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Liu Jiajia played Xiuchun and Sanbao in the TV series "China Land" and "Deep Love for the Earth", two rural mothers who gave everything for the revolution and their husbands, and this transformation is shocking.
Two rural mothers
The TV series "Deep Feelings of the Earth" tells the story of a small mountain village under the baptism of war guns, due to the lack of men, the women in the village bear the burden of defending their homes and children. Sanbao's mother, that is, the mother of Liu Jiajia's character, gave birth to ten daughters in one go, they grew up, married and had children, and became ten mothers with different personalities, and in the face of national hatred and family hatred, they made different choices. Sanbao, played by Liu Jiajia, has experienced ups and downs in the play. Liu Jiajia admitted that Sanbao is a bit "two hundred and five", and her degree of "two" is inseparable from the mother played by Chen Jin.
"Deep Love of the Earth" was filmed for four months, and Liu Jiajia also experienced the hot heat with the three treasures, and then ushered in a bitter cold. In the process of filming, Liu Jiajia learned a lot of farm work. She used to think that the stove in the countryside can be cooked as long as the fire is lit, but it is not so simple to cook a pot of rice in the countryside, and it is necessary for the housewife to put in the material for ignition according to the amount of firewood and the degree of humidity, and then cooperate with the bellows, the firewood can burn, otherwise it will choke people's faces full of ash. Filming "Deep Love of the Earth", Liu Jiajia also had a mother's addiction, there was a scene filming the three treasures difficult to give birth, from morning to night, Liu Jiajia has been shouting, to the last mouth to feel that the brain lacks oxygen, but still have to desperately howl.
In "Deep Love in the Earth", Chen Jin and Song Chunli, two old drama bones, played Sanbao's mother and mother-in-law, which made Liu Jiajia feel a lot of pressure, but she quickly found the right state. Rural drama scenes are relatively simple, and actors are easier to act than dry. Liu Jiajia learned a trick with Song Chunli, no matter what lines are spoken, the work in her hand is continuous, which can make the character appear more lifelike. There is a scene where Sanbao Niang misunderstands that Sanbao is pregnant with her sister's man's child, and the two scold each other in the house, and after a scene, Liu Jiajia is actually angry and trembling. At the end of the play, Sanbao's foolish husband is going to die in place of a communist, and he himself has no idea, Sanbao runs out and hugs her husband and says, I will be your daughter-in-law in the next life. The scene brought her to tears as she read the script. When "Deep Feelings of the Earth" was completed, Liu Jiajia said on Weibo: "Before starting the machine, I knew that this was a hard battle, and now that the battle is over, it should be regarded as a victory." At this time, I don't feel tired, nor do I feel relaxed, and the whole person is hollowed out by the character. ”
Next, Liu Jiajia played Xiu Chun in the TV series "China Land", Xiu Chun's husband went to the front line, the villagers thought she was a widow, only Xiu Chun firmly believed that her husband would return, and the children in the village also made up a song that made fun of mother and son. In order to highlight Xiuchun's bitter life, stylist Chen Minzheng put a deep scar on Liu Jiajia's face. During the filming of "China Land", what impressed Liu Jiajia most was the relationship with the young actor who played his son in the play. In order to have tacit cooperation in the play, emotionally more like mother and son, Liu Jiajia entered the crew, first found Xiang'er, and played games with him. After a period of contact, the mother and son are almost inseparable, and I want to call Liu Jiajia a mother in her daily life. Despite this, after all, Xiang'er is only a 5-year-old child, and it is inevitable that the lines will be inaccurately remembered when filming, so Liu Jiajia will follow the meaning of the child and drag the plot back to the right track.
Two cheongsam young grandmothers
In 2003, Liu Jiajia was still studying in Chinese opera, and was selected by director Li Dawei to play the three young grandmothers Yufen in "The Golden Powder Family". This earliest "Republic of China idol drama" starring Chen Kun made this spicy, tricky, and vigorous grandmother of the three young people quickly remembered by the audience. Four years later, Liu Jiajia filmed the TV series "Golden Years" with the same theme, in which she played the second sister-in-law Wu Xiachun. Although it is still the role of the vicious young grandmother, Liu Jiajia's acting skills have calmed down, and the role's scheming is deeper than that of the three young grandmothers in "The Golden Powder Family": in order to push her cousin to Cheng Zihua, Wu Xiachun tried her best to break up Zihua and Ai Wanqing. Unfortunately, Wu Xiachun, who had exhausted the calculations of the organs, later became eccentric and crazy because her husband was murdered and imprisoned.
In the TV series "My Three Mothers", Xia Mei, played by Liu Jiajia, is more vicious than Wu Xiachun. "My Three Mothers" tells the story of three mothers through the experience of the protagonist Ke Xiaoshan changing his household registration twice and changing his surname three times. There is no drama without contradictions and conflicts, so when the protagonists of the whole play are committed to tears, the villain role played by Liu Jiajia shows its role in the whole play. Almost all the contradictions in the TV series are caused by Xia Mei, in one scene, Xia Mei exposes the heroine's unmarried childbirth in front of the whole hospital, and the lines in this drama are written very little. When filming, Xia Mei's lines were finished, but the director did not shout to stop, Liu Jiajia played on the spot according to the feelings of the characters, and then she acted to the point of lack of oxygen, the director shouted to stop, she suddenly sat on the ground, and more than a hundred people in the crew applauded her at the same time.
In the TV series "My Ugly Lady", Liu Jiajia plays the nanny Jinlan, who covets the position of the hostess, arrogant and snobbish in front of Zhang Shaohua's ugly wife, and violates the yin in front of the master, which can be described as bad to the extreme. After Liu Jiajia's grandfather watched the TV series "My Ugly Lady", he advised his granddaughter not to play such a bad person in the future. These characters labelEda Liu Jiajia herself as powerful. All day someone scolded her on Weibo, all kinds of ugly words, one of the viewers originally did not have Weibo, in order to scold her specially registered an account. One of the audience members scolded liu jiajia so badly that she cried loudly at the computer screen, and later she wrote a long weibo to express the feeling that "actors just want to play a good role". When interviewed, asked whether she would play a bad woman again in the future, Liu Jiajia hesitated for a moment, but still said that if there is a good script, she is willing to try worse roles.
Liu Jiajia is not afraid of hardship when filming, saying that her lines are never stuck, and the jianghu people call "Liu Yiyi". In fact, the name "Liu Yi tiao" fell as early as Liu Jiajia's filming of "Golden Powder Family". "Golden Powder Family" is Liu Jiajia's first TV series, director Li Dawei is afraid that she has no experience, let her say the lines one by one, and then cut together through the post, Liu Jiajia said that no need for the director to bother, turn around and smoothly say the whole line, a bump did not hit. Liu Jiajia's performance surprised the director, and Li Dawei gave her the nickname "Liu Yi tiao". Director Li Dawei's biggest impression of Liu Jiajia is filial piety. Director Li Dawei's mother is the famous director Liu Guoquan, and the mother and son often shoot together. During the filming, as long as he catches up with his mother's birthday, Li Dawei will invite the whole crew to dinner and say a special affectionate greeting to his mother at the dinner table. Director Liu Jiajia and Director Li Dawei have worked together more than ten times in the past ten years, and each time they can learn something different.
Kindness is a true performance
In 2009, Liu Jiajia finally waited for a series of good characters such as Su Qun, the health captain in the TV series "Golden Phoenix Blossom", Su Yiluo, who ended in bitter love in "The Jade King", and Xia Xue, a beautiful paratrooper in "My Heart Is Flying", thus allowing Liu Jiajia to get rid of the inherent impression of "bad woman", Liu Jiajia laughed and said that she finally had the opportunity to perform "true color".
The TV series "Golden Phoenix Blossom" has many scenes filmed in the snow on the plateau, and Liu Jiajia checked many ways to deal with lack of oxygen on the Internet before shooting, and prepared for the play. During the plateau shooting, Liu Jiajia carried a lot of spare skin care products, especially some creams with UV protection. Seeing that some staff members are exposed to ultraviolet rays, Liu Jiajia will take the initiative to take out her own skin care products to share with everyone. Liu Jiajia also taught the crew to wrap some plastic wrap around their legs to prevent frostbite. After filming "Golden Phoenix Blossom", Liu Jiajia has become a "highland crew master", and she concluded that the secret of filming in the plateau is to rest more, talk less, persistently apply sunscreen, apply it for two hours, and you must not be lazy.
Liu Jiajia filmed the film "Xinyi Brothers", which won many government awards. This is liu Jiajia's first time filming in her hometown in the northeast, the temperature of minus twenty-seven or eight degrees celsius filming night scene, she often has not said anything, her teeth have begun to tremble. The movie "Xinyi Brothers" truly records the story of the Spring Festival in 2009, when Sun Shuilin, the brother of the contractor, was killed in a car accident on the way back to his hometown in order to settle the wages for migrant workers in a hurry to settle the wages a few years ago. The younger brother Sun Donglin tearfully fulfilled his brother's last wish and delivered the money to the hands of migrant workers the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve. In the movie, Liu Jiajia plays Peng Xiuping, the wife of Sun Donglin, who has been with her husband after taking over her brother's baton. Liu Jiajia had heard the story of the brothers before making this movie, and although the protagonist of this play was not her, she very much wanted to spread such honest and trustworthy positive energy to the current audience.
When she first started filming, Liu Jiajia dreamed of playing legendary women with strong personalities such as Wu Zetian and Yoshiko Kawashima. Over the years, after performing a series of cheongsam women and bitter mothers, Liu Jiajia wants to play some young girls in struggle, which may be the real performance.
