chasing dramas is waiting for updates, especially chasing cool and spicy dog-blood dramas like "Deadly Woman. After finally waiting for the last episode, I didn't expect the three families to turn around. In particular, Simone, who took up 8 episodes with a tricky character, turned out to be a kind woman in her bones.
Actually, when she had a tryst with the little milk dog, Simone who was lying on the bed inadvertently showed her weakness. When she touched the bed sheet, she remembered her childhood:
This bed sheet is made of Egyptian cotton. Dad had washed many of these sheets in his laundry.
When I was 12 years old, I stole an unwashed bed sheet and went home just to experience the feeling of lying on it. My mother was very angry when she found out and ordered me to wash and iron immediately. It was two o'clock in the morning when I was ready, and she took the sheets and went back to the store.
However, there seems to be a line in the play. Outside the play, Liu Yuling, who plays Simone, has a similar childhood experience.
She is really a big star coming out of the laundry room.
As Simone said: "I was not born rich and honorable." Liu Yuling was not born a big star either. In a speech on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in May 2019, she also mentioned her past career:
does not have any opening and smooth sailing. When it is a last resort, she can only go to the elder brother who lives in California to live with him. A carton-sized apartment. And every one who wants to get an audition opportunity can only do odd jobs...
seems to be just an experience of Liu Yuling's hard work in her youth, but her hardships began from childhood.
On December 2, 1968, Liu Yuling was born in Queens, New York. Before the family settled in New York, although the father who was a civil engineer and the mother who graduated in biochemistry were both high-tech talents, after arriving in New York, everything could only start from scratch, and parents had to rely on being servants, laborers, etc. Work can support the family.
In fact, in those days, working in laundries, Chinese restaurants, and convenience stores was the lifestyle of most Chinese families.
You can imagine how miserable Liu Yuling's childhood life was. She once said that when she was a child, her parents always went out early and returned late, and there was never a holiday at home, and they rarely had the opportunity to get together for dinner. It was not until the age of five that her sister was in kindergarten, so she started to learn English, and no one at home could teach her to speak English. Although
is the youngest child in the family, Liu Yuling also needs to work hard for her livelihood early, and it is her normal state to do several jobs at the same time: serving dishes, dancing instructor, and working as a child in a garment factory with poor working conditions.
Even thinking about the worst job she had done now, she would blurt out: "Being a minor ice cream scooper on Queen's Road".
Because you have to endure the temptation of hunger and food, especially delicious desserts, this is indeed the worst job for underage children. In an interview, she recalled her childhood. At that time, it was happiest to have something to eat. "As long as it is what I put in front of me, I will eat it."
However, there are three children in the family, and the parents have always insisted on letting the three children go to college anyway, which naturally increases the financial expenditure of the family. When she was 14 years old, Liu Yuling and her brother had to work as child labor in a garment factory where the working environment was extremely poor.
Despite the difficulties, the whole family tried their best to send her to university. Liu Yuling went to New York University and the University of Michigan successively and received a bachelor's degree in Asian languages and cultures. She has a high degree in the entertainment industry.
But even in college, Liu Yuling's part-time job schedule is still full seven days a week. From Monday to Friday, she is the secretary during the day, and she serves dishes in the restaurant at night. She is an aerobic dance instructor in the morning on weekends and continues to be a waiter in the evening. At that time, every second meant to her the weight of the bank account.
In addition, she would audition whenever she had a chance. Because of an accident, her oriental beauty made her be spotted by scouts in the subway, so she took the first commercial in her life. At that time, the filming remuneration was 90 dollars, but she got 100, and the extra 10 yuan was won by herself, because she wanted to experience the feeling of holding a hundred-dollar bill. After
had experience in making commercials, when she was about to graduate from college, she participated in the audition for the drama "Alice in Wonderland". At first, she just wanted to get a supporting role, but after seeing her performance, the director promoted her directly to the whole playThe protagonist, the great success of the performance, made her dream of becoming an actress.
Because of this, after graduation, she didn't want to find a pragmatic job in the eyes of her parents step by step. Regardless of opposition, she firmly chose to go to Hollywood.
At that time, Liu Yuling, who worked three odd jobs to earn a living, could not repay the monthly student loan after living expenses, and her brother still supported her financially and spiritually behind her.
is the face of the East. How easy is it to break into Hollywood? In Hollywood films, Asian women have always been just an embellishment or foil. In the early years, Chen Chong and Wu Junmei played mostly lover roles; Zhang Ziyi and Liu Yifei mostly played female roles.
Liu Yuling, who has no resources and no capital, often has no choice. In the first 7 years, Liu Yuling could only play some side effects.
didn't get a chance to play a supporting role until he was 29 years old. She played the lawyer Wu Ling in the American drama "Sweet Beauty". Beautiful, cool and nervous, he opened his mouth and said: "My mother is rich, and my work is just to set off my suit."
The industry agrees that Wu Ling's role has opened the dragon lady's precedent. The role of
Wu Ling suddenly soared. The original 8-episode role was changed to a resident role by the screenwriter. Liu Yuling was nominated for the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress because of this role. After
is the "Charlie Girl" that made her famous.
benefited from the love affair with Drew Barrymore. In 2000, Drew Barrymore also invited Liu Yuling and Cameron Diaz to star in "The Charlie" with him.
Liu Yuling, one of the three spy heroines, is not the most famous, tallest, and brightest, but the most powerful.
This petite beauty with black eyes and black hair beats up the big men in the film so that they can't get up.
With the global hits of "Charlie's Girl", Liu Yuling is truly a big hit.
But Hollywood is very realistic. Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore were paid 10 million U.S. dollars each, while Liu Yuling only had 1.2 million U.S. dollars. She also argued with the film company for this. When she learned that there would be no room for adjustment in the remuneration, she still accepted the job.
, especially after spending three days of field survival training with two big stars, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore, can calmly say: I’m lucky enough to eat raw fish, drink sewage, and hang on the cliff with her.” As a result, the box office of
continued to rise, and her popularity soared. The company raised her remuneration to US$3 million and gave it away. A sports car is rewarded. She suddenly realized that grades are the root of everything. To this end, she decided to be a valuable and respected actor.
Since then, even if it is a supporting role, she has to do it to the extreme. For example, in 2002, in the song and dance classic "Chicago", which won the best film of the Oscar, although the lady played by Liu Yuling had very few appearances, she was very popular in every appearance.
The lady who must wear mink beautifully at all times kicks the tricky shot.
is such a supporting role, still becoming one of the focal points in the film. The following year, Liu Yuling, who could perfectly interpret the supporting role, walked into Quentin's masterpiece-"Kill Bill".
She played Ishii Yuren also became the most representative role in her career. Although there are few lines in the whole film, the temperament alone supports the scene. What impressed the old aunt the most was that she stood on the steps and gave orders: "Tear her to pieces." The role of
made Liu Yuling like to mention the best villain of the MTV awards ceremony, and the remuneration rose to 5.5 million US dollars. She spent 7 years in supporting roles, and it only took nearly 3 years to go from supporting roles to million-dollar women.
said in an interview that she made no secret that in the days of hard work, the motivation to push her forward is not only because of her passion for acting, but also because she loves money and desires to be a valuable actor. There is even a well-known theory to save a "go to your" deposit.
She said that this "fund" is equivalent to a "redemption money" for herself, when something unpleasant in life happens, or someone forces you or fires youYou don’t need to continue to wrong yourself, but you can put up a middle finger smartly and leave directly without any worries.
may have babies who think that, in this way, Liu Yuling and Simone in life are not so different, they are both spicy and sassy. But in fact, Liu Yuling's popularity has left Simone a few blocks away. Funny and straightforward, she has many close friends in Hollywood and New York, the most famous girlfriend is Wendi Deng.
Even she can complain about the talk show host Jimmy as a worker in the talk show.
's sassy personality, even if she was not a martial artist, still makes Liu Yuling gradually positioned as a "beater". But Liu Yuling knew very well that she was eating youth rice when starring, so she began to plan for transformation. When
was 37, she became an intellectual woman for the first time in "Lucky Number Slavin" and fell in love with the actor played by Josh Harnett.
was also specially invited by the drama "Sex and the City" and made a surprise guest appearance in his own capacity. There are only a few scenes, and she still plays the leading role of Amanda in the drama. After
has accumulated these roles, she has no pressure to incarnate in the new version of "Sex and the City" known as "The Gang of Women".
played the wise and decisive Watson in "Holmes: Basic Deduction" in 2012. This role was originally controversial, but with her brilliant performances, she conquered the audience and received many praises, which also brought her career to the next level. .
Nowadays, Liu Yuling's film pay is 5.5 million US dollars, and the TV drama pays 125,000 US dollars per episode. So far, it has not been broken by any Chinese actress. Even though the international chapter was appreciated by all parties at the beginning, and the front edge overshadowed all the international Chinese actresses, when she filmed "Memoirs of a Geisha", she only received $2 million in salary, which is still not as good as Liu Yuling.
, as the first Chinese actress to enter Hollywood, Michelle Yeoh, in the most popular "New Iron King Kong: Empire of Tomorrow", paid 2.5 million US dollars. As for Gong Li who participated in "The Detective Courage in Sin City", she only received a million dollars in reward.
has gone from the role symbols of Asian actresses in Hollywood films, to supporting roles, and to Chinese actresses with the most important roles. Liu Yuling's parents are finally proud of their daughter's choice.
has always been because of the difference in aesthetics between the East and the West, Liu Yuling is not a beauty in the traditional sense. Especially in the aesthetics of "white skin and beauty" and "pointy face and big eyes" currently pursued in China, Liu Yuling's face is not beautiful enough for most people's aesthetics.
Not only that, even when Liu Yuling starred in the female version of Watson in "Basic Deduction", the male version of Watson actor Martin Freeman blatantly dissed Liu Yuling in the show: "I saw it at the Emmy Awards. Liu Yuling, she is attractive, but ugly, please, she is a dinosaur, totally unattractive."
To avoid ambiguity, please read the original sentence: she's a dog.
But Liu Yuling's way of fighting back was to use her success to shut these people up. Because of such arrogant prejudice, Liu Yuling's interpretation career runs through. She knows that beauty only wins praise, and only strength can win respect. You may not know
, but she is the prototype of Disney's classic animation "Mulan".
In 2004, Liu Yuling was selected as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" by People magazine. As the only Chinese American, she appeared on the cover of "Vanity Fair" with 12 other Hollywood actresses.
2008 Olympic Games, "Bazaar Fashion" filmed a series of sports-style blockbusters for her, petite but powerful, as if she has unlimited power, let people see the different style of oriental women.
, this Asian face, finally conquered Hollywood.
On May 1, 2019, on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Liu Yuling has a star of her own. There is a baby to ask, "Is it amazing to have a star with its own name on the Avenue of Stars?"
This is of course, first of all, we must distinguish between leaving stars and leaving names. There are indeed many Asian stars who leave names. , But Liu Yuling is the one who stays with the star. The Chinese actors who have won this honor before are Huang Liushuang, Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.
Liu YuLing is the fourth Chinese actor to receive this honor, and it is not an exaggeration to call the "Chinese Light". What's interesting about
is that her star is next to Huang Liushuang's star. And Huang Liushuang is the first Chinese woman to stay on the Avenue of Stars, and Liu Yuling is the second after her. The two are indeed tied together. Because Liu Yuling is already producing a female-themed drama called "Unsung Hero", the protagonist is Huang Liushuang.
It can be said that this award does not only consider the reputation of the recipient, but also an assessment of whether it has a wide range of influence in the industry and the recognition of the entire interpretation career.
For example, the organizing committee announced in 2019 that it was the first-line movie star Anne Hathaway who has won the Oscar for women to qualify for the Avenue of Stars.
Regarding her performance, Liu Yuling still maintains the unique humility of the Chinese: "I have never thought of opening up territory and becoming a pioneer, nor have I set goals for myself, to be the first person, I just Doing what she loves."
She really loves acting. Looking back at the three sisters in "Charlie Girl", after nearly 20 years, their lives are different.
Cameron Diaz was once the most popular of the trio, and set the first actress to receive a $10 million salary record, but she retired for several years after receiving both fame and fortune, and she has come back to work in recent years. The standards are uneven, and the career is going high and low.
was born in the famous Hollywood acting family-"Barrymore" family, Drew Barrymore, naturally also a child star debut, was photographed by the director Spielberg at the age of 6 and played a little girl in the movie "ET" Gotti.
However, because of her mother's influence and other shadows, she was once called an "American Sweetheart" but she became a drug addict and a "Hollywood bad girl" when she was a teenager. After the rebellious period, her career did not have any major ups and downs. Stable. Now she has three marriages and two lovely daughters. The focus has shifted to the family.
And Liu Yuling started to work as a film producer in 2006, and tried to direct her, her first participation in directing was the high-standard and well-reputed drama "Land of Grace". There are also several episodes of
"Basic Deduction" directed by her. She also directed "Fatal Woman" with a score of 9.3 points on
.
has been involved in the production of "Unsung Hero", Liu Yuling herself will continue to participate in the directing.
Even the most inattentive audience can find that every time Liu Yuling is new, she still exudes full passion and vitality after the age of 30, and she is always eager to try in the masterful Hollywood.
Despite the cascading halo, Liu Yuling is still sober. Chinese actresses have been very popular in Hollywood in recent years, but compared with the first-line actresses in the United States, there is still a lot of gap. Julia. Roberts pays US$20 million for each film, and Cameron, another heroine of "Charlie Girl". Diaz is also 20 million. To break through the US$10 million in salary, Liu Yuling still needs a lot of effort.
No wonder Liu Yuling admitted in an interview: In a place full of talents like Hollywood, she is under great pressure anytime and anywhere. Compared with British and Australian actors, the popularity of Chinese actresses has yet to be opened up.
Australian beauty Nicole. Kidman is worth 15 million U.S. dollars and is known as the "British Rose" Kate, a British actress. Winslet's pay has also reached tens of millions of dollars.
Now 51-year-old Liu Yuling seems to have never thought of stopping. She became the mother of a boy through artificial surrogacy, and has stated in public many times that she enjoys the feeling of motherhood.
Although Liu Yuling's Super A life may not be suitable for us to copy, after all, everyone's "factory settings" are different, but no matter whether they are perfect or not, they can live like Liu Yuling, just like Liu Yuling, and be confident and confident.
