She is smart and capable, and will take action promptly when Mr. Bao encounters difficulties, and handle complex interpersonal relationships appropriately; she is also well-rounded, and is generous when facing guests, making others smile with her jokes.
In Ma Yili's eyes, Lingzi is indeed an extraordinary character. "When I was acting, I also felt that she was very powerful, flexible and flexible, and also attached great importance to friendship. There is a relationship between her and Mr. Bao that is difficult for others to understand, because she has these qualities."
"I don't think anyone can Be emotionally sober in the world. Lingzi loves A Bao. I am very clear that Lingzi loves A Bao deeply." Ma Yili has her own interpretation of the relationship between the two that is difficult for others to understand. She believes that Lingzi and Bao, after all, There is "decency" that Shanghainese care about and pay attention to in this space. "This kind of dignity is reflected in the sense of distance and security. The relationship between Lingzi and Abao is open and relaxed, and there are back and forth. Lingzi will cooperate with Abao's dignity, and Abao will fulfill Lingzi's dignity. It is a sense of order with regional characteristics."
In the play, Reiko and Mr. Bao almost broke up because of a pair of pearl earrings. When she came back gorgeously, she completely changed her appearance. "In the past, I relied on Mr. Bao. From now on, I relied on Mr. Bao. Rely on ability", which made the audience shout "I didn't expect it". In Ma Yili's view, this break was actually the awakening of Lingzi's self-awareness, and she began to understand that only by not depending on men can she gain true respect. "After this, Lingzi will return to Shanghai with the most decisive attitude, and truly live as the boss's wife, not as the woman behind Mr. Bao."

In fact, the quarrel between the two, It is also a way for Reiko to express her concern. "Shanghai women are just like that, they don't like to say nice things. Some people have misunderstandings about Shanghai women, thinking that we like to be garrulous and arrogant. In fact, this is not the case. Sometimes we don't talk well, but instead Express it in the form of scolding. The harsher the scolding, the more caring you actually feel. It contains a kind of female self-esteem and pride."
But there was only one scene where Reiko made Abao withdraw from the shares of Night Tokyo and return her luck. In the scene, Reiko was uncharacteristically different. "Actually, that scene took a long time to shoot, and it was the only scene where I didn't yell at him. When you don't know what to choose, the answer comes out.Just when you want to call out to A Bao, A Bao has already turned around and left, so it is better to just miss it. "Qin Wen, the screenwriter of the
drama version of "Flowers", had previously collaborated with Ma Yili in "The First Half of My Life". They collaborated again and the two had a better understanding. "Teacher Qin Wen understands women's language and sense of language very well. , curse is also a context that we are very familiar with." Therefore, even if she only gets the script when she goes to the scene to put on makeup every day, Ma Yili will still quickly follow the lines to see if she can add some new and more interesting things, even Hu Ge, who was responsible for the whole process of being "scolded", will also join in and create together.

but he will also say, "If the acting is not good, I will cut it for you."

When not filming, Ma Yili is habitually a little hunchback. Wong Kar-Wai would also promptly remind him, "Don't hunch your back, keep your chest up."
Wong Kar-wai's warmth made Ma Yili work harder to shape the character: In order to get a good shot of a look, she took the photo from 11pm to around 2am. She repeatedly wore high heels and climbed up on a stool to change a lightbulb. She took thirty-four shots before and after without any complaints.

"He is a director who loves actors very much. Through the working process, he will constantly get to know the actors and discover the beautiful points in the actors, as well as the points that other directors have never seen. Then he will invite The screenwriting teacher changed the script to give the actors more room to show off. "
Ma Yili said with a smile that Wong Kar-wai often said on the set, "If you don't perform well, I'll cut it for you." So all the actors tried their best to perform every scene they played well. "Everyone will definitely see it when watching the show. The changes in our faces over time are not about whether there are wrinkles on the face, but the changes in the eyes - the eyes were very confused three years ago, and when the filming was completed three years later, the eyes were tired. I think this is in line with a process of life. ” It is also the accumulation of these three years that finally made the work bloom brilliantly.
