"A cloud made of rain in the wind" is the first collaboration between Song Jia and Lou Ye. The director broke Song Jia during the first makeup trial. All the literary spirit in her body turned her into "Lin Hui" (the role she played in the film).
Song Jia, born in 1980, plays Ma Sichun's mother in the film. In reality, the age difference between the two is only 8 years old, but it does not violate the film. For 39-year-old Song Jia, the increase in age will not trouble her. On the contrary, she feels that performance requires experience and precipitation. “Age is a plus point.”
was amazing with "Curiosity Kills the Cat" The screen, because the "Xianer" part of "Crossing Guandong" is well-known by the audience, film and television works such as "The Cliff" and "Xiao Hong" have been recognized by industry awards. After more than ten years of filming, Song Jia believes that she has good luck and can receive good scripts. In fact, behind it is the result of constant rejection and selection of works. After "Curiosity Killed the Cat", the film schedule continued, but in order not to repeat herself, she carried on for a year without taking the show, and finally waited for "Crossing the Pass". In her view, the work represents the aesthetics of an actor, and quality is something that cannot be discarded from beginning to end. "I hope that one day, everyone said, Song Jia, as long as she is there, I think this play will definitely not be bad."

to film Lou Ye's scenes requires good physical strength
A few years ago, director Lou Ye asked Song Jia to film the scene, but he didn't cooperate for various reasons. "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind" found her again, and she agreed without saying a word, "I don't think anyone would refuse him."
Song Jia has a working habit and must completely digest the script before joining the group. Just take people and go with your heart." And Lou Ye's work style of "basically not talking about the drama, letting the actors perform freely" made her very excited. Sometimes, when the play in the script is finished, Lou Ye does not call to stop, but can stimulate Song Jia even more, "When there is a machine that cannot be stopped because of your performance, you have a desire to express and perform. It’s amazing.”

. It is about Lin Hui, who is in the clothing business, went to Guangzhou No. 13 to buy goods. There are only a few "Lin Hui go to buy goods" in the script. Words, but when the real performance, Song Jia acted for 20 to 30 minutes. Because the director likes the actors to act in one go and have a complete emotional state, Song Jia is basically improvised when performing without interruption.
However, this one-stop performance is a test of the actor's physical strength. Song Jia felt that filming directed by Lou Ye was "very tired, and I had enough physical strength to watch." What impressed Song Jia was a rival scene with Chen Yanxi. The whole scene was shot for 30 minutes, with tears in the middle, and several shots. Article, “It’s like playing a stage play in school, you feel like you can’t do it anymore.”
age is not a problem, but a bonus item
. Many actors, especially actresses, regard their profession as a “youth meal”. Ageing is a career crisis on the road to performing arts. However, when Lou Ye told Song Jia that Lin Hui, who she played in the film, had a 20-year-old age span and she wanted to play Ma Sichun’s mother, Song Jia didn’t mind, “It’s too challenging to play the post-80s mother. However, when I was doing acting training at the Drama Academy, I also acted as an 80-year-old lady.” In the eyes of others, as actresses get older, they will receive more and more limited roles, which should have caused anxiety. One thing about her is not a problem here, "Age is just a number to me, plus I am a person who is not good at math, and I don’t know how to count."

she has no time at all Think about these, "all are negative energy", I usually lie at home for a while, play, go shopping, travel. She tries to keep herself simple, don’t think too much, and the troubles will be less, “It seems a bit silly, but you can’t deny that it’s not a kind of wisdom.” Song Jia always believes that actor is not a profession that depends on the face. She still has to rely on performance to express, so her age didn't bring her any confusion. On the contrary, she felt that the role played when she was young was limited. When she first entered the industry, "playing some'little vases', falling in love, superficial and beautiful, is over." In her opinion, with As we age, our experience and sensibility will become richer, and we will become more and more capable in acting. This is what many directors need. In recent years, Song Jia has filmed a lot of her favorite dramas, such as "The Poet" with Zhu Yawen, and the martial arts film "The Eye of Poetry" directed by Xu Haofeng.Tired World", the film "Broken Time" adapted from the stage play of the same name...
So, for Song Jia, age is a plus point, "Who doesn't want to play a richer role, but you need to grow and settle before you can go Touch them, otherwise you don't have that energy."

but has no ambitions before

Before the college entrance examination, she met a senior by chance, and the senior showed her a way to take the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

However, when she first entered the drama, Song Jia didn't get much fun from the performance, let alone love and love. She stayed in Shanghai after graduation. For a girl, Shanghai is very comfortable. There are many production crews stationed there. Every year, students who graduated from the drama school can have filming. In addition, Song Jia's major at school is not bad, and she started filming when she left school. "Basically, I haven't run through the troupe. I played from the third and fourth women, then the second and the first women. It's natural." She always felt that staying in Shanghai was pretty good. Too much ambition. Until I met "Curiosity Kills the Cat", "all changed." Before

However, there is a problem Song Jia must face, that is There are many bold and passionate scenes in the film. At the time she was 25 years old and felt it was necessary to talk to her parents, so she called her father and said that she liked a script, but there was a little bit about it. "My dad probably stopped on the phone. A few seconds, and then said, go your own way, let others say it." The stone in Song Jia's heart fell to the ground. Before the shooting of
, the crew helped Song Jia find a hair salon to experience life. "Just tell people that I am a relative of the boss." She said that experiencing life does not necessarily bring you anything, but actors are very sensitive. You Will absorb a lot of feelings, which is helpful for performance.

. However, after this movie was released, someone always talked to Song Jia about the "standard". She directly went back: "Actors have no standards, actors serve the roles, and the roles are what they are like." She believes that actors are not qualified to judge a role, whether a role is good or bad, and actors cannot use moral standards. Judging, that's not your job, how your job presents the role. Before
"Crossing Guandong", after a year of not picking up the movie
finished filming "Curiosity Kills the Cat", Song Jia decided to become a professional actor and wanted to make a better movie, so he came to Beijing from Shanghai to develop. In the beginning, the scripts she received were all characters like "Washing Hair Girl", "I asked myself why I came to Beijing, so I gritted my teeth and didn't shoot it." In addition, the teacher said before, try not to repeat the role, no significance.
She stayed for a year without filming, and she was anxious. She was very nervous, but in the end she waited for "Xianer" in "Crossing the Pass".

At that time Song Jia’s agent took her to see Zhang Xinjian, the director of "Crossing Guandong", she only remembered the scene with Hu Jun on the rooftop in "Curiosity Kills the Cat" It became a compact disc and showed it to the director.
Song Jia was very impressed with that scene. She cried when she was watching the script, she cried before filming, and cried again after watching the replay after the filming. The sound engineer on the side wasA girl was also crying there, "I think the men are too bad, they are all big pig's hoofs." When it was shown to Director Zhang Xinjian that day, Song Jia stood behind and cried again. The director looked back and said, "You are a really good actress, so why do you still cry when you look at your play?" Later, Song Jia got the role of "Xian'er". The quality of
's works represents the actor's aesthetics.
Song Jia's resume has a large list of her proud works, such as "Curiosity Kills the Cat", "Crossing the East", "Xiao Hong", "Cliff" and "Hey, old man!" "Young Marshal", "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind"... She attributed it to her good luck, "I am a very casual person, I don't have so many designs, but the scripts they find me are pretty good, just It’s very simple to shoot like this.”
Actually, Song Jia’s countless refusals and long persistence came from Song Jia. Most of her works are medium and low-cost literary films, such as "Xiao Hong" directed by Huo Jianqi, "Under the Ice" directed by Cai Shangjun, "Poet" directed by Liu Hao, "Master" directed by Xu Haofeng and "Poetry Eyes Tired of the End", Whether it is in the box office or the influence of the popcorn entertainment film, some of the costs will definitely be sacrificed, such as fame and fortune, and financial returns, but Song Jia doesn’t feel that he has missed anything. “What you choose must be what you want. If you know what you want, you won’t be entangled." The
movie "Poetry Eyes Tired to the End"
Song Jia chose the quality of a work. She felt that the work represented the aesthetics of an actor, "I want to give The actor has a certain responsibility for what kind of work the audience sees." If she can't even pass this level, she won't pick it up. Maybe she knows some characters herself, there is no challenge, but she likes this wave of people, and she wants to cooperate with them, OK. But the premise is that the quality must be guaranteed. This is something Song Jia has been reluctant to give up for so many years. "I hope that one day, everyone said, Song Jia, as long as she is there, I think this scene will definitely not be bad."

Song Jia in life also doesn't like makeup. "I am a makeup control", except for the troublesome makeup. She thinks that plain makeup is good-looking. "Maybe I am confident."

At that time, my parents met the famous Yueqin player Feng Shaoxian by chance. Mr. Feng thought Song Jia was cute, so he wanted to teach her to learn Liuqin. My mother felt that the teacher took the initiative to teach, so let's learn. The 8-year-old Song Jia sat there with a suppressed nature and studied on and off for seven or eight years. Later, the teacher sent her to the Shenyang Conservatory of Music High School to study Liuqin more professionally and systematically, with a little bit of popular singing. Although
