In the summer of 2018, Gui Lunmei was in the film crew of the movie "The Gathering at Southern Station" (hereinafter referred to as "Southern Station"). He was puzzled by the appropriateness of his performance and was troubled by the sultry weather in Wuhan. The five-month shooting period was mostly It was all night scenes. After she puffed up her emotions and cooperated with the director's complicated schedule to complete the filming, she let out a long breath, "It's really hard to have a night," Hu Ge beside her heard her laborious gasping.
In the summer of 2019, as the only Chinese film shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, the creator of "South Station" walked on the red carpet. Gui Lunmei held the director and Liao Fan’s hands with mixed feelings, proud and full of respect. I have red eyes several times.
Back in the summer of 2000, Gui Lunmei, who was still in high school, was discovered by the casting director to become the heroine Meng Kerou in the movie "Blue Gate". The immature and pure face and youthful campus became everyone’s most favorite summer. Good interpretation.

seems to be floating in the air and the other is barefoot on the ground. When the audience regards Gui Lunmei as a representative of a youth film and a young literary girl, she put herself in In the urban village of Wuhan, entering the role of accompany swimmer Liu Ai'ai, added a different memory to her summer.
"The Gathering at Southern Station"
is more difficult to get into Liu Ai'ai's body
Gui Lunmei is very aggrieved and confused. Until now, she is not sure whether the audience can accept her performance.
In "South Station", Gui Lunmei plays Liu Ai'ai, a swimmer who is between men. Director Diao Yinan said that there are a lot of group actors from Hubei in this movie, and the characters are ordinary people in the bottom society. If the actors speak Mandarin Very contrary, speaking Wuhan dialect will help improve the quality of the movie. Gui Lunmei learned Wuhan dialect two months in advance and required that he could fully master the language. Even if he changed the performance temporarily, he would not hinder his performance because of the language. What is more difficult for
is to get into the body of Liu Ai'ai. Although Diao Yinan's consistent shooting method is very helpful to the actors in terms of mood and interpretation, the personal lives of Liu Aiai and Gui Lunmei from the bottom of society are very different, and she has never been able to find the best way to interpret. Director
requires actors to have more physical performances rather than psychological changes. This is another new and uneasy attempt for Gui Lunmei. "Each scene is just to complete what you want to express in a single scene. It is a dotted and incoherent performance, which is finally assembled by the director. Each scene has a tone and a central axis, but around this central axis there will be different Interpretation, for example, the director will say that you are a little black and the next one is a little less angular. Use such abstract adjectives to let me express it on the spot." In the
movie "The Party at the Southern Station"
, there are many Liu Aiai who are complicated Emotionally walking through the street scenes, Gui Lunmei spent a long time walking around the streets and lanes when preparing for the role-living in the tube building for a week, listening to the residents' ways of speaking, and feeling single in the dark and greasy lanes of the city village The emotion that a woman Liu Aiai will have. Director
thinks that her figure is easy to radiate the familiar temperament, so she keeps reminding her to break down a little bit, then break down a little bit. Gui Lunmei was very aggrieved and confused. He felt that he had already stuck to the ground, so why couldn't he express the feeling of collapse. It was only after a period of time that I slowly found the feeling in the duck walking style and body posture I designed. Up to now, she was not sure whether the audience would accept such a performance, but felt that it was the only way she could find at the time.
Wuhan’s sweltering hot summer weather and anxiety caused her body to constantly send out warning messages. She often had a fever to shoot against the big sun. Looking back on the summer of 2018, “maybe like the director said, this kind of tenacity to life is just right. Reflected in Liu Ai'ai."
also had countless beautiful moments.
In the whole movie "The Gathering at Southern Station"
Gui Lunmei thinks that the most beautiful is the erotic scene on the ship, which is the same as the erotic scene of Liao Fan on the Ferris wheel in "Fireworks in the Day". The director pressed the overall style to be very clean. With rationality, Gui Lunmei plunged into his feelings without hesitation. "That scene is very important. It is not only about expressing lust, it is the interweaving of two people's bodies, but their inner activities are very rich. It seems to be handed over to each other, and it seems to be just a transaction.There is a lot of content, and a kind of complexity is naturally revealed in the deduction process. "
finished filming "South Station", Gui Lunmei joked to the director that we have finished filming the cold winter and sultry summer. Why don't we collect the Four Seasons series like Hou Mai? Next time I shoot an autumn movie, full of autumn mist. The movie.
bid farewell to "summer girlfriend" and let the performance return to pure
"Sometimes I wonder if I should change my understanding of movies and get closer to the so-called mainstream. "
In October last year, the important scene in "Blue Gate" was filmed at the National Normal University High School Swimming Pool to be demolished. The school invited Gui Lunmei and Chen Bolin to come back for the last outdoor screening.
Gui Lunmei wrote on Weibo that night: "We used to I spent the hot summer here, had the most youthful dream, and returned here after 17 years, with the audience and memories, with mixed feelings. Clean movie, pure original intention, green look. "
Gui Lunmei still clearly remembers the day when the filming of "Blue Door" ended. She had never cried so sad, thinking that she would never meet the friends of the crew who had been with the crew for months. "At that time, I felt so sad. So sad, crying constantly. It's strange why there would be such naive thoughts at that time. "
" This is one of the most important works in my life. It is the beginning of my career as an actor, and even the beginning of my career as a film. It is also because of this movie that I began to know myself and I began to ask about myself The problem. At that time, I was only 17 years old, and I seemed to be following all the systems and expectations, because the role of Meng Kerou and director Yi Zhiyan opened up my understanding of people. I didn't seem to have a framework for a person's established appearance before. Carrying her (Meng Kerou) is very beautiful, and I also look forward to the appearance of a role with the same weight as Meng Kerou in the future. I am very grateful for this film. It established my respect for the profession of actor and pure love for film. This is my first film. I still look forward to being full of pure love and respect while working. Yes, I don't use any opportunity at will. I respect my job very much. Gui Lunmei said. The
movie "Blue Gate"
"Blue Gate" carries the youthful time of many audiences. Meng Kerou's green, stubborn, stubborn, and shy are vividly interpreted by Gui Lunmei, and she has her true qualities. The movie
also makes her unforgettable, is the first collaboration with director Diao Yinan, "Fireworks in the Day." In this crew Gui Lunmei spent his 30th birthday, and also bid farewell to the inherent image, once a Taiwanese art The "Summer Girlfriend" in the film grows into a silent but deadly allure Northeast "femme beauty".
"Fireworks in the Day" was filmed in Harbin for the whole process, with a minimum temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius. There is a shot in the film. Wu Zhizhen, played by Gui Lunmei, was skating on the ice rink, with snowflakes sprinkled in her hair, and small crystals shone under the dim light. Gui Lunmei raised his face, it was a cold and transparent face, but it was endlessly complicated. Lunmei Gui, who lives in Taipei, describes the cold nights in Harbin, which often makes her muscles stiff, and her lines can’t be said, but she can’t forget it. The
movie "Fireworks in the Day"
happened to star in the filming period. The movie "Girlfriend·Boyfriend" won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, and returned from the icy Harbin to the glorious awards ceremony. Gui Lunmei wanted to integrate himself into the atmosphere of the awards ceremony, but all his thoughts were good. I want to go back to the Northeast to continue filming.
"At that time, most people would do a lot of interviews after winning the award. I was very grateful that I could go back to filming. I think that is really important as an actor, and it just so happens that I love the crew and roles very much. . "Up to now, it seems that the matter of winning the award has not been implemented in Gui Lunmei's life. It has been floating in the air and has nothing to do with her.
" "Fireworks in the Day" to me is really like what Liao Fan said, yes. A very happy shooting process is also a great gift. This film made me meet the staff who are dedicated to the film. Although the conditions are difficult and often hurt by freezing, because of the love, we all completed it very simply and intently. Got it. It seems that there is no interest-related idea, it is a very simple artistic creation process. Sometimes I wonder if I should change my understanding of movies and get closer to the so-called mainstream. But then I found out that I met a group of like-minded peopleFriends, I found that they could spend five or six years preparing a work. At that time, I knew, well, I can go on this road. "The current self of
is like a glass of boiled water
" is very light and almost tasteless. But you may experience a little bit of sweetness and a little bit of salty from things that seem tasteless, so you have to calm down. "
At the age of 17, Kwai Lunmei, who was wearing fat pants and tangled hair, was transferred to the MRT in Ximending. His face was stinking because of a fight with his boyfriend, but he was caught by the assistant director of "Blue Gate". Since then he has become Meng Kerou. Later in movies such as "Secrets That Cannot Be Said" and "Girlfriend·Boyfriend", Gui Lunmei has played countless kinds of female students and quiet girls.
film "Secrets that cannot be told"
film " "Girlfriend·Boyfriend"
Many viewers know Gui Lunmei through Meng Kerou in "The Blue Door" and Lu Xiaoyu in "The Secret that Cannot Be Said." The transparent and fresh character establishes that Gui Lunmei represents the youth film in the eyes of the audience , Represents the identity of a literary and artistic young woman. Contrary to Xiaoqing’s line, are her unique and even neurotic characters: in "Huge Call", she plays the villain liar, cruel but also believes in love; In "Accidents", she played Ouyang Nana's mother, without the restraint and unwillingness of the actress, she taught Ouyang Nana how to act in a crying scene with instant noodles; in "The Flying Sword of Dragon Gate", she painted a strange tattoo with a murderous face.
Gui Lunmei These diametrically opposite and seemingly self-consistent characters are described as self with different proportions. They all have the same things that have been retained. "The fresh image is the accumulation of my past roles. I am very grateful to the audience because of some of my roles. I did not want to erase it, but I am still a curious actor, and I am still very interested in some unexpected roles. So I always say that I don't want to put myself in a frame. Instead, I expect my audience to go on adventures with me and experience new characters together, just like playing. "Because of the small number of films, Gui Lunmei feels that each role is as important to her as a baby. She spent a long time with them and was unwilling to bid farewell to each role.
filmed "Blue Door" back then. The kiss scene in "" is accompanied throughout the whole process, and the father who asked the director to only take three shots at most, watching his daughter show his works one by one, at a certain cut-off point, he suddenly found that Gui Lunmei was sincere. I like acting, and I gradually understand the choices she made. I understand that she is not an actor who has no reason to interpret such a scene. I understand the reason why erotic drama is so crucial in the movie. It finally becomes that it does not need to be explained. The line "What kind of adults are we going to be" in
"Blue Door" has been quoted by many people. To the answer to this question, Gui Lunmei said: "I am still thinking about this question. If you don't define yourself If you are an adult, you will still think about what kind of adult you can become in the future, always asking yourself at different times, and maybe you will gradually become what you want to be. "

She described her state as a glass of boiled water, very light and almost tasteless-I couldn't help laughing in the middle of the story, saying, "I'm a bit arrogant when I talk about myself like this." ——But it is necessary for some people."
"I will still follow my personality. This is also a trait. It's not that everyone has to have a special taste, a certain taste, you You may experience a little bit of sweetness and a little saltiness from something that seems tasteless, and that's a matter of calming down. After
left the role, Gui Lunmei was immersed in a quiet state and asked himself a lot of questions, and then he had a judgment closer to his own in the next choice.
