"determination to run away" has counterattacked and won the single-day box office for several consecutive days, with a box office forecast of 120 million.
the numbers may not sound worth mentioning at first, but for a small-budget family film without big-name stars or any commercial elements, this achievement is quite difficult.
there is another phenomenon worth mentioning. this is a movie with a female protagonist of over 50 actresses. in the past, they were either supporting roles or the wives and mothers of the protagonist.
"determination to run away" yongmei plays li hong
usually, actresses of this age group, such as liu lin, who has been continuously nominated for best actress but has received no success, chen jin, who played ye wenjie, as well as prime supporting roles of alia, liu dan, and even ye tong, who is 60+, etc., are basically all they have chameleon-like superb acting skills and rich, transparent lives. unfortunately, there are very few dramas specifically featuring them as heroines.
so in this article i want to talk about yongmei, who stands out from the crowd.
yongmei has really become popular in recent years. she won the title of "everlasting" at the berlin film festival in 2019. she was already 49 years old at that time.
her further breakout came when she played the role of "other people's mother" liu jing in "little joy". she has an intellectual temperament, gentle words and transparent actions, and has become a cyber mother envied by many people.
in fact, yongmei doesn't need to act, she is like this.
in her speech at the golden rooster awards, she talked about discussing with the makeup artist about retouching photos. from her words, you can imagine yongmei’s warm, warm, firm and calm tone at that time:
"can i try not to retouch my pictures? if i have to retouch them, can you please stop smoothing out my wrinkles? i grew them with great effort."
at the road show of "runaway", some male viewers criticized the movie for belittling men. some of the creators were helpless, some were sideways. the director was furious, and wu qian couldn't pretend at all. at first, she snickered in embarrassment, and then she lowered her head and dug her hands.
only yongmei smiled and nodded gracefully and politely, encouraging him to finish. finally, when the audience couldn't bear the booing, yongmei also smiled knowingly along with the creator next to him. it's hard not to respect yongmei at this moment.
why can you be so emotionally stable? in the face of outrageous opinions and fallacies, be gentle, generous and nurturing, and do not get angry or internally conflicted, making the other person look stupid and aggressive.
of course, yongmei definitely didn't want to compare her to the opponent, she was just as calm as ever.
because of this temperament, her performance is also marked with her unique brand.
many people will use one word when evaluating the performance of yong mei: still water runs deep.
it's like that in "eternal life". her husband is saying something that touches her heart. liyun, played by yongmei, doesn't seem to have any change in expression, but through her posture and expression, you can feel the turbulence in her heart.
yes, the pain of losing an orphan has been washed away and fermented by countless rains, and then waxed by time, so that it can be as sad as water at this moment.
in "determination to run away", some viewers seemed to see the difference between yongmei's unique temperament and the prototype su min.
su min's running away was due to her suffocation and instinct coming up to take a deep breath. when yong mei played li hong, even though the director had asked her to be as external as possible, you could still feel from the beginning: this woman will run away one day.
there is no other reason. as yongmei stands there, you can feel the surging power in her heart. you know that she will not let herself be trapped in place.
this is not to criticize yongmei for not being realistic enough. "determination to run" is not a biopic. she does not need to reenact su min. the spiritual power of her performance is moving enough.
the purpose of this comparison is to say that yongmei is a rare actor with great personal charm, and it is easy to give her own identity to the role.
at the same time, people are envious and curious: where does her calmness, calmness, and indifference come from?
let’s start with her contrast.
looking at yongmei's appearance, it is hard to imagine that she likes rock music and heavy motorcycles. she once rode a heavy motorcycle from beijing to inner mongolia. in "runaway", she changed tires with her bare hands without any instruction, and even guided others to change them.
otherwise, no matter how gentle and quiet mongolian women are, there is always a wildness and freedom in their bones.
however, jing and ye are not opposed to each other, she just loves freedom very much. riding a horse and running wild by yourself is a free ride, and reading a book quietly by yourself is also a free ride, spiritually.
emphasis on freedom and the spiritual world is inherent in life, and was also influenced and inspired by my father.
this can be seen from the reason why she fell in love with luan shu, the former lead singer of the black panthers (for those who don’t know, you will feel that she is not a person of the same world), and they have been together for more than 20 years, and their love is still as good as before.
in 1995, when yongmei was the female lead in the mv for black panther's "don't break my heart", she first met luan shu, who was still a keyboard player, but there was nothing special about her.
later, when she heard luan shu's song "beautiful paradise without sadness" in the rock album, she was struck by his particularly sincere expression. she also liked the neutral voice. at that time, luan shu still had long hair and had a lot of vicissitudes. feeling.
the host asked her again: when did you feel that you were the only one in your life? yongmei said that luan shu ran a horse farm in the countryside. it was a free choice that she yearned for. nature, animals, music... many of his lifestyles coincided with her yearnings.
yongmei's views on mate selection are really different from most people's. most people would say that this man is good to her, down-to-earth, reliable and responsible, and that's why they want to be together. yongmei: because she likes his lifestyle.
observing the lives of the two people, you will find that they are really "deviant" together.
yongmei, graduated from the university of international business and economics, was a white-collar worker in the 1990s, working at vanke, and expected to have a very good future. because she didn’t like the routine of a nine-to-five job, she gave up business to pursue an career in art; luan shu, didn’t like music with a strong commercial atmosphere , gave up art and took up farming.
many people say that the music market is so sluggish now that there are no good songs. with luan shu’s talent, it would be very good to just write a few songs and give them to musicians to sing. luan shu said, “i don’t want to make something just to explore those ten seconds. too tired".
yongmei affirms, understands and believes in luan shu. affirm his thoughts, understand his choices, and believe that his talent will not be buried. if he can impress her, he will be able to impress others. it is just a matter of timing.
yongmei once drove on an undeveloped winding mountain road. luan shu’s friends knew how to blame luan shu for letting yong mei take such risks alone. luan shu originally wanted to fly back with her, but learned that yong mei liked to drive like this. , he may not necessarily understand, but he will support yongmei if he knows that she will be happy doing this.
if the same spirit, freedom, and happiness were not supreme, it would be difficult to support each other in doing crazy things. just like bao dai, who hates the career and economic system, they become close friends. one of them is a chivalrous woman and the other a hermit, running counter to the world. but they happen to be traveling together, so they would rather live in poverty.
many people may have the same questions as me: is yongmei born to be so detached?
yongmei has said that her life choices and values are greatly influenced by her father.
yongmei's father is an electrical engineer. he loves reading and has no financial desires. he can live well on a salary of one to two thousand a month. in his spare time, he likes to talk about ancient and modern thought and culture with his friends. in the 1990s, someone offered a high price. ask him to go to the sea to work, but he won't go.
her father told yongmei since she was a child that she could earn a bushel of rice a day and sleep on an eight-foot bed at night. sleeping only uses an eight-foot-wide space), and human needs are nothing more than this.
every time we communicate, her father will ask her what books she has read recently. if she finds that yongmei has not made progress, she will be called a poor person. through reading, you can become an independent thinker and not blindly follow the crowd. after yongmei graduated from university, she went to shenzhen. people in her hometown opposed it, saying that going there would lead to bad learning and corruption. only her father encouraged her to go and see the vast world. she can.
yongmei's personality is just like her father's, and as long as she lives the life she wants, she seems to be recognized by her father, a spiritual idol. how can her faith be insufficient?
with such a valuable foundation, yongmei has embarked on a path that runs counter to domestic entertainment.
while the audience appreciates the ambition and desire written on so-and-so's face, yongmei, on the contrary, has a face without desire.
she said that she did not want to be led away by desire, but to be able to overcome desire, she must first learn to resist.
after playing supporting roles for many years, she finally made her mark in 2004 as yin xiaoli in "chinese divorce". as this hit drama was replayed repeatedly, yongmei's phone kept ringing.
all of a sudden, the temptations of money and fame came. yongmei felt that her desire was growing, which made her physically uncomfortable. she felt that she was about to change and be carried away by desire. she must keep a clear mind and a strong will. be determined to judge and choose.
she set her cell phone to call forwarding and could only receive messages. she had been in this situation for fifteen years. she doesn't even take the initiative to fight for roles. most of the roles come to her from others. "i don't have this in my character. if someone chooses you to play in this drama, then it means you are suitable. if they think i am not suitable, i will regret it at most." .
in today's highly competitive and capital-dominated environment, yongmei's attitude of "jiang taigong fishes for those who are willing to take the bait" may not be so easy to take on.
fortunately, yongmei was lucky, she was born in a good time. after giving up business and pursuing an career in acting, i worked as a host in xu gehui's company. there was a role that xu gehui wanted to play. xu gehui had no intention of acting, so he asked yongmei to do it. the other party saw that yongmei was also suitable, and she also had the look of a white-collar worker in the workplace. this was a strange combination of circumstances. the wrong opportunity started yongmei's acting career, and later she felt that she was destined for this industry.
let’s look at yongmei’s “not fighting” attitude. first, it’s due to her personality; second, she had some foreshadowing when she was first active in the market, with some sporadic scenes; third, i think she knows her own advantages and has such a refined temperament. , it is difficult to find a substitute for the still water deep performance that matches the temperament.
you want to be nice
everyone will definitely see it
especially what you showed
everyone can see your performance
if they need you, they will come to you
if he wants to find you, he will definitely find you
facts have proved that this method works. her temperament is suitable for "the assassin nie yinniang", which is also in the still water. wang xiaoshuai, the director of "eternal life", wanted to find someone who could act like her.
in the future, everything will be intertwined, and people who have worked with her will come to her again.
don't fight, but you have everything. this kind of non-fighting contains wisdom and requires mind and patience to realize. isn't this the taoist "doing nothing but doing everything"?
it sounds easy to say, but in fact no one is born calm. the inherent content of calmness is resistance. she must have become calm through constant resistance and reconciliation.
her father's death in 2014 caused her to lose her spiritual backbone and life benchmark. later, her mother also passed away, which was her darkest stage. she stopped filming for four years, became depressed, gained weight, and didn't want to see people. she mentioned that she later practiced yoga allowed her to slowly mobilize the energy in her body and gain a new look.
after coming out, i received an invitation to "eternal life". what's interesting is that in this drama, the lives of liyun and yongmei are intertwined.
liyun was overwhelmed by suffering and committed suicide once. when she was rescued and came back, she gained a kind of kindness and forgiveness after passing the road of death, and thus redeemed herself.
yongmei had also just experienced life and death. after playing liyun, she found that she was much more cheerful and no longer had so many resentments and blames, not only towards her mother, herself, but also towards the outside world.
when she was a child, her mother favored boys over girls. she grew up in an environment of lack of love and neglect. she felt inferior and deficient in her heart, and she even always felt that she was not perfect. after her mother passed away, she remembered that there was a flood at home, and her mother couldn't care about anything else. she was so anxious that she rushed over, picked her up and ran away. she realized that this wasn't love?
the opposite of "doing nothing" for fame and fortune is "doing something" for real life.
she said that her "understanding of art can be said to come from the joys, sorrows, and joys experienced in trivial life." when not filming, she likes to indulge in life for a long time, watching "the sunshine rises and falls inch by inch."
in "eternal life", she and wang jingchun had a very good understanding when filming everyday things. when he was eating, he sat down and picked up chopsticks, and she handed over the steamed buns. there was no communication or rehearsal, and it was so real that it felt like a repeated life every day.
if you look back, you will find that all this was due to her father encouraging her to read and understand her mind since she was a child.
she is sensitive and lonely. when she was young, she was aloof and unable to communicate. later, she passed through the abyss of her heart countless times, constantly examining and reflecting on herself, and trying her best to have a deep and lasting relationship with human nature, time, emotion, spirit, body and life. through dialogue, through patience, self-discipline and long practice, she became herself.
her father originally named her yongmei because he liked chairman mao's lyrics.
"when the mountain flowers are in full bloom, she laughs in the bush" is written with a fearless optimism, magnanimity and selfless spirit, which is the father's expectation for his daughter.
but what yongmei likes is lu you's work of the same name.
lonely, cold, and plain, it seems very sad and desolate at first glance. but the last two sentences express the strength of this cold temperament:
"there is no intention of struggling for spring, and once everyone is jealous. it will be scattered into mud and crushed into dust, but only the fragrance will remain the same."
