Following the best actress in the first Berlin Film Festival in the mainland, Yongmei won the Golden Rooster with "Long and Long".
Only relying on the two words "Ying Mei", most of the audience can't face it, and there are very few people who know her. It seems that this double material actress turned out to be.
had only 50,000 fans on Weibo even before she won the Berlin actress. After reading her photos, many people suddenly realized: Oh, it turned out to be her! Xiao Li in "Chinese Divorce", Liu Jing in "Little Huanxi"!
has been in the industry for 24 years. She has been playing the supporting role of the drama star without being popular. In the world of Yongmei, it seems that there has never been the word "anxious". However, after 24 years, people still don't know Yongmei. Yongmei is a Mongolian. Grandma named her Senji Dema, which means "fairy" in Tibetan. Because my father liked Mao Zedong's poems, especially the song "Bu Suanzi Yongmei", he got this Chinese name.
The plum blossoms are proudly left alone in the cold winter, not competing with hundreds of flowers. She played a supporting role for 24 years. She took the path that most actors did not want and did not want to take, and almost never took the initiative to win a role. Quietly sitting in his own small world, and the entertainment circle, the vanity fair, always keep the right distance.
All this is inseparable from the family's words and deeds. Yongmei's grandfather used to be a military officer. In her words, he was maverick, very high-minded, and completely out of gregariousness. As the father of an electrical engineer, he also has the shadow of his grandfather to some extent. My father was an electric power engineer. He was very angry when he saw that his former apprentices and brothers had chosen to go to the sea to do business, "earning what they should earn and what they shouldn’t earn". He felt that these desires were enough to destroy them.
so that later those brothers and apprentices were scolded by him so that he never dared to come home again. "He is not a person who is incapable of making himself materially rich. He just didn't choose that kind of life, but lived to the end with a detached attitude." Her father said to her since she was a little girl: "I get a bucket of rice every day and sleep on an eight-foot bed at night. People’s needs are nothing more than this.” “You don’t want to race with desire, you don’t want to chase that thing, that thing will lead you into the abyss.”
He will often ask her what books she has read recently, and will show her to listen to it. Teresa Teng and Su Rui listen to classical music, folk music, and Russian songs. Being indifferent to fame and fortune and paying attention to spiritual wealth is the first thing her father taught her. Once, Yongmei saw a fruit girl in the picture album his father was looking at, and her face turned red all at once. His father called her over and told her that this is art and this is beauty.
Not following blindly and being an independent thinking person is the second thing her father taught her. While Chinese parents generally pursued the education method of "winning at the starting line", his father was not in a hurry. Instead, he planted an "unsocial" seed in Yongmei. In 1991, Yongmei, who graduated from Beijing University of International Business and Economics, found a civilian job in Shenzhen with a professional counterpart, and led a nine-to-five white-collar life. Probably because of her outstanding appearance, Yongmei was recommended by a friend to shoot an advertisement. In that era, her monthly salary was only 400 yuan, and the income from an advertisement was as high as 100 yuan, which made her very excited.
is just as destined, the opportunities to enter the entertainment circle began to appear continuously. After that, Xu Gehui invited her to be a part-time host. At that time, Xu Gehui was asked to act in a TV series. Because there was no time, Xu Gehui recommended Yongmei to the director.
45 days of shooting, Yongmei got 10,000 yuan in pay. But Yongmei, who has just entered the industry, is completely opposite to the humble and low-key actress. He is very high-spirited: "When a drama comes to me, I still look down on small characters. If you tell people that you are not a female, don't look for me." Hopefully Oscar, Cannes, and Berlin will all win.
It wasn't until 2003, when she filmed "The Guardian of the Loyalty", that she fully respected the performance from the bottom of her heart and attitude. There is a scene in
that is a long monologue. She talked to the tape recorder by herself for a long time. When she saw the script, she thought: "This scene is too silly, why would anyone watch it." So she ran away. After discussing with the on-site director, it didn’t take long for the chief director to come over and ask her: "Why don’t you act in this scene?" Yongmei asked her why. When the chief director heard this, she was very angry and said seriously: , After you act, you will know whether you will be able to act. You have to believe in yourself."
This is the first time Yongmei feels that she does not know the depth and is so self-righteous. After this incident, her attitude towards acting,There is a qualitative leap. In 2004, Yongmei became popular with her daughter Xiao Li in "Chinese Divorce".
followed by various invitations and opportunities, as well as the temptation of money. This was contrary to the values her father taught her, and she fell into an unprecedented pain. She wanted to be quiet. So, she transferred the phone call to the secretary desk of China Mobile, and read the text messages. This habit of
, she has persisted to this day. She has always believed that when a person is good enough, everyone can see it. And those who really want to find someone can definitely find it. "I'm waiting for the role that belongs to me, I'm not in a hurry, so don't worry." Really powerful people are never in a hurry. Because time can prove everything. Wang Han once said: "Haiqing is a good wife in China, and Yongmei is a good wife in China." From the charming and mature Bu Yilan in "Bangkok Rainy Season" to the empathetic Xiao Li in "Chinese Divorce", to " The good daughter-in-law of the husband and the child in "The Duty Son". The 24 years of supporting roles have made Yongmei a good wife professional. Whether it's a screen role or appearance, she will always give people a gentle, intellectual, and quiet feeling. But Yongmei's bones are cool, rigid, and rebellious. She likes powerful things. When she was in college, she fell in love with rock music and listened to Cui Jian, Tang Dynasty and Black Panther. Coincidentally, in 1993, Yongmei met Luan Shu, the lead singer of the Black Panthers, who was Faye Wong's first love on the train. The two talked very happily and exchanged BP machines when they parted. Later, the new song "Don’t Break My Heart" of the Black Panthers needed a beautiful girl to shoot the MV. Luan Shu immediately found Yongmei through the BP machine. One come and two, the two fell in love and got married. In 1994, Luan Shu left the Panthers. For the equestrian she loves, she took Yongmei and used wood to build a racecourse in Shijingshan. The accommodation conditions of the horse farm are simple and there is no heating. In winter, the toilet pipes often freeze, and the washing machine water does not come on the ground every other time. The young couple lived happily like gods. Luan Shu feeds the horses, trains, and cleans the stables, while she listens to music at home, watches movies, and sunbathes in a daze. After a movie is filmed, she will go out to the crew for 20 minutes. Occasionally call a group of friends to get together, drink, and chat. Many years later, Yongmei recalled that she still felt that the seven or eight years she lived in Shijingshan was the best in her life. For a while, they were struggling. Everyone wondered why Luan Shu didn’t write songs to make money. Yongmei replied: Xiao Luan’s talent was given by God. I have never doubted that inspiration does not appear every moment. I have Confidence waits for that moment with him, maybe soon, maybe for a lifetime, not in a hurry, nor in a hurry. In the poorest years, Yongmei has been with Luan Shu, and Yongmei has become the commander in Luan Shu's mouth. Two souls who fit in with each other met when they were young. After more than 20 years of walking hand in hand, Yongmei can still vowed to say: "It's no problem for us to live together." Everything is just right. He was the one who accompanied her to see the earthly scenery, and it was him who accompanied her to see the long flowing water. To be honest, I envy such love. In "Long Earth and Heavenly Long", Yongmei plays a mother who lost her independence. With a calm and forbearance, she vividly showed Liyun's painful loss of her beloved son, true and depressing. More desperate than hysterical crying. After the double material movie, it deserves its name. After reading it, many people learned that Yongmei was from the Dingke ethnic group and had never been a mother. I can't help feeling that it's a pity that such a good actor has been a green leaf for 24 years. She hates this kind of remarks, thinking that it magnifies utilitarianism, and the film is no longer pure art: "Good works are the most important." She is just a lucky person, and she runs into a character who merges with her soul. For her, life is her home field, and acting is just a part of life. In the career gaps of those blockbuster movies, she reads, watches movies, and practices yoga. She said that this is another kind of abundance. The nourishment absorbed from life, turned around and nourished her acting. No one can be lucky forever. Behind the amazing acting skills is nothing but the precipitation of the years, the reality endorsed by life, and a long accumulation. She can confidently say "the media has been talking about the plight of middle-aged actresses in recent years, and I am not confused about this". She lived a very transparent life, gentle and firm. But any judgement from the outside seemed to have nothing to do with her. After a big uproar, she turned around and continued to live with peace of mind. It is more important than anything to live every ordinary life seriously and enrich yourself. Yongmei proves to us that a life that is not rushing or rushing can also have its own bright moments. Acting as a heroine for the first time at the age of 49Rear. It's just that we really know her today, not Yongmei's regret, but our regret. I just hope there will be more good actors like Yongmei
in the future
