Li Meng is really a strange woman.
will always be a partner and always dominate (crazy). Her works may be good or bad, but she is the eternal bright color among them.
Princess Wanning, played by her in "Mo Yu Yun Jian", is arrogant and charming. She closes the door and plays the SM version of forced love. She opens the door and demands her life from the entire country that once made her a proton.
The barrage said that she was too promiscuous to look like a princess, but let me ask which of those graceful and noble moral faces is worthy of Wan Ning.
Nowadays, the domestic entertainment industry is crowded with actresses who want to succeed by surprise. Li Meng is one of them. Although her exposure is not high, she is definitely one of the best in terms of the width of the narrow track.
She can play the domineering crazy princess -
She can play the gluttonous daughter with mental disorder -
She can also play the revenge-seeking mother who is worse than death ——
Yes, she is also Zhu Chaoyang’s stepmother.
She was just 28 years old that year, which is exactly the age of 95. Others were crying about the difficulty of transformation, but she transformed her body to the point where it could generate wind power.
Ever since "The Hidden Corner", I felt that it was only a matter of time for Li Mengruo to come out on top sooner or later.
After all, among all the people pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, she is the only one who deserves to say:
"It is recommended to check the person, it is not like the actor."
Archaeological Li Meng is really exciting and interesting.
She is too inexplicable, too weird, extremely gifted and infamous, her luck is amazing but her journey is bumpy.
made his debut in the entertainment industry for the first time, not because of his works, but because of his angry producer.
It was 2016. Li Meng was absent from the announcement of the movie "Laoqiang" without any reason. The unbearable producer finally attacked Li Meng in public and detailed Li Meng's crimes.
includes but is not limited to -
Xuanfa will never be able to find anyone, will never be contacted, and will always break appointments;
was late for the shooting, and it was still snowing, making the whole group wait in the cold;
and pigeons for fitting and setting makeup... …
After that, a video of the filming scene quickly leaked on the Internet. In the video, Li Meng seemed to be making a scene, and his attitude was so casual that he seemed to be ordering his mother to serve rice.
became emotional after being rejected by the director. He started pushing and pushing the staff and yelled:
"You scold me! You scold me again!"
As soon as the video came out, doubts about Li Meng Yide came one after another, and netizens who liked melon immediately contacted An old case has arisen - the film version of "White Deer Plain" disappeared without incident.
Li Meng, who was a freshman in college, was selected to play the role of the heroine Bai Ling in the film version of "White Deer Plain". However, in the final film, the entire Bai Ling line was inexplicably deleted. The explanation given by the producer of
is very official, saying it is "due to the length of time".
is difficult to convince the public, because no matter how much it is deleted, it should not be deleted on such an important character as Bai Ling.
But there was no way to raise any suspicion, so we could only let it go.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, history would repeat itself.
The drama version of "White Deer Plain" that was being produced at that time once again approached Li Meng. The same actor, the same role, but it also failed to be completed.
is even worse. This time, the Bailing experience card is only for three months and will be replaced when it expires.
Changing actors halfway through filming is not cost-effective in terms of funding or performance, let alone a major national IP production like "White Deer Plain".
As a result, this story was once circulated as the male advocate Jiayi being partial to others, because it was his apprentice Sun Yi who replaced Li Meng.
But as Li Meng’s reputation in the industry became more and more bad, the outside world gradually had a different view of the Bailuyuan incident.
Although there is no evidence, it has become a consensus in the industry that "it was because Li Meng was cut and replaced because of his petty tricks".
In "I Am an Actor" three years later, Li Chengru and other seniors clearly put the past to rest, starting with "I heard that you are a difficult person to deal with" and facing the stage. Li Meng cleared up piles of pieces.
"White Deer Plain" was highlighted again. Several big bosses formed a group to output, questioning why Li Meng was kicked out of the team repeatedly and whether he had found his own reasons.
Here, Li Meng always answered "I don't know".
Zhang Songwen, as the only actor who had seriously collaborated with Li Meng, saw Li Meng's confusion and planned to tell a few words for Li Meng with a short story.
Then, he talked about the famous "Apple Exchange Incident" -
Zhang Songwen's intention is to tell everyone that Li Meng is a good actor who pays great attention to details. I hope everyone will be more tolerant of this slightly paranoid seriousness. .
But in exchange, it was obviously another wave of torrent of criticism.
Li Chengru scolded: "Your questions have brought trouble to the whole group."
Zhang Jizhong declared: "I can't use this kind of actor."
Hao Lei Education: “Seriously, it’s not about competing with Apple.”
So changing apples became another public case. Not only did it not save Li Meng from death, but it also made her poor artistic ethics worse.
But Qi is also here.
I often feel that this woman’s reputation is about to be ruined, but she can rely on her acting to bring her reputation in the industry back from the edge of the cliff time and time again.
Corresponding to Li Meng’s troubled physique, is her rock-steady acting skills.
Zhang Songwen asked for a chance for her, and Zhang Ziyi could not help but sigh that she was "surprisingly good". Even the iconic and shameful "White Deer Plain" scored twice because Li Meng was the actor selected by the original author Chen Zhongshi.
We don’t know how much her character angered the studio team, but her acting skills seem to be able to temporarily overcome the displeasure with her.
So on the one hand, she inexplicably lost the precious opportunity of being the heroine of "White Deer Plain", but on the other hand, she was able to co-star in various large-scale productions and cooperate with countless big shots in the industry.
art film category, she participated in Jia Zhangke's "Destiny" and stepped on the red carpet of Cannes at the age of 19.
became the youngest actress in the country to unlock this achievement.
was later spotted by Wei Shujun, the director of "The Mistake by the River", and participated in the literary film "Wild Horse Parting Mane".
theater film category, she also participated in "Rescue Mr. My Life", "The Golden Age", "The Octagonal Cage", "Parrot Kill", etc., and has collaborated with Andy Lau, Tang Wei, Wang Baoqiang and others.
Looking at it this way, Li Meng is like Medusa, scary but also flocking to her.
Those who stay away from her only hear the legend of her being a bad mother-in-law.
Those who are attracted by her acting skills are full of Li Meng’s obsession and persistence in acting -
An actor who is known as a big name, but before playing each role, he keeps writing biographies in the form of diaries. .
"Metropolis - Li Meng: Just the Right Girl"
As a result, those past events of moral corruption gradually interpreted another version in the minds of the audience who loved her.
Like thousands of idealistic stories, Li Meng is a drama fanatic who doesn’t want his edges to be rounded.
This is strange.
’s interpretation of a person is completely two extremes.
and each one seems to be irrefutable, but it is not entirely the case.
said she was a drama freak, but how could any drama freak be late for filming and absent from costume fittings?
said she was a big name, but her behavior of indulgent vanity and contempt for hard work was really inconsistent with Li Meng, who wrote a thousand words about characters and went to the countryside to experience life.
Both interpretations only interpret a certain aspect of Li Meng, but the strangeness of Li Meng is that she seems to have everything.
She can let the crew frivolously let go, and at the same time write her character insights affectionately.
She can also scold her assistant incessantly and cry in one second, and then burst into tears and apologize endlessly after hearing the assistant say "I want dignity" in the next second.
She could also suddenly come up with a small action of peeling an apple in front of the camera, which is so down-to-earth, but as soon as the camera was turned off, she immediately put forward the demand for "exactly the same apple".
The two extreme contradictions exist in her so naturally that all logical personality analysis seems to be invalid.
Even Li Meng seemed to be at a loss for herself. She confessed several times:
"I don't know what kind of person I am."
Her way of expressing herself has always been to rely on roles, but she can only rely on roles. Catch the pieces, no A complete shape.
is like Zhao Lusi’s big pot, he can “get in” with anything.
However, this pot of soup is not without some stability.
There is a character that Li Meng kept mentioning in interviews from 18 to 21, and repeated it repeatedly, which had a great influence on her.
is not played by her, but Scarlett in "Gone with the Wind".
She said that this is where her enlightenment lies when she embarks on the road of interpretation.
She felt that this was the way she wanted to live.
And the only anchor point from beginning to end is the key to open Li Meng.
In fact, if this classic was not too old, the answer to everything about Li Meng would have been self-evident as soon as Scarlett's name was exported.
The lives of the two show a highly similar enthusiasm and chaos everywhere.
Like Li Meng, it is difficult for you to simply put Scarlett in the position of "perpetrator" or "victim", because she is on both sides.
She would always miss Ashley, a married man, and would find opportunities to be a mistress during the war. She even uttered a sentence that would be regarded as a masterpiece of love today -
"Say you love me, and I will do it for the rest of my life." She lived by this sentence. "
But because of her promise to Ashley, she stayed with his wife when the war broke out, delivered her baby, and took her home across the front line.
When she saw her home being destroyed by the war, she, a pampered child, could dress in coarse linen, hold up a handful of fertile soil at her feet, and swear in the sunset:
"By God, I will never be hungry."
is so persevering and so decisive.
But just when you were about to put the crown of female awakening on her, in the blink of an eye she cheated on her own sister to make money, became the boss's wife, and exploited criminals without any psychological burden.
Then you find that you can’t characterize her at all.
"Kind", "Pioneer", "Feudal" and "Snobbish", these words are all invalid when it comes to Scarlett.
She can always prove and disprove.
The reason is actually very simple.
These words used to describe worldly values cannot summarize a wolf child in the wild.
Compared to an "adult" with a history and a reason, Scarlett and Li Meng are more like desires themselves without reason or logic.
All their behaviors, like a baby crying when hungry or fussing when in pain, are all knee-jerk reflexes of self-desire.
Because I am afraid of poverty, I want to make money. It doesn’t matter how the money comes, as long as the desire for money is satisfied.
Because I love someone, I want to get it, so I want to give it. Whether it is moral to force it, and whether the effort will be praised, Scarlett does not care, does not care.
What she wants is the feeling of fullness filled with desire.
The same is true for Li Meng.
What we don’t understand about Li Meng is not actually the actions themselves.
Who doesn’t want to skip work and be lazy, and who doesn’t want to live as a privileged person who can ignore the rules of the world because of his talent?
These selfish desires are real, and so are the passions for the characters.
The absurdity is not in these desires, but in the fact that as a social person, Li Meng really does not deal with these desires at all.
The rational thinking of adults is that if I want to become famous, I must overcome laziness.
But Li Meng is closer to the child mode. Faced with a lot of desires at the beginning of human beings, he doesn’t know what to choose.
She fully expresses her artistic pursuits and once vowed to become a movie queen at the age of 30. She also makes no secret of her yearning for commercial fame and has always talked about wanting to be a big star.
makes 80,000 updates a day. I wish I could write my thoughts every second for the world to see.
When talking about Jia Zhangke’s casting, it was enough to say “fortunately he chose me”, but he had to add “never choose anyone else”.
do not consider things like probability and decency at all.
In the movie, whenever Scarlett encounters a huge psychological shock, she has a famous anti-internal line, which she keeps reciting -
"I won't think about it now, I will think about it tomorrow."
Facts Yes, by tomorrow, She wouldn't give it a second thought.
Just like Li Meng, after the sentence "I don't know what kind of person I am", he always stubbornly follows "I don't think this matter is very important." The words "happiness is the most important" are completely different from what the old man Qianfan said even though they are the same sentence.
Regarding the so-called "self", Li Meng believes in pure experience and expression rather than rational thinking.
So you can feel the atmosphere of almost all personalities in her, but there is no clear and unified context.
She doesn’t make choices, she only expresses them, and what finally appears is confusion.
So, everything became difficult to evaluate.
Being an actor is almost the incarnation of desire. If we look at the results of the work alone, it seems to be a good thing.
After all, beautiful literary and artistic works have always been a hearty display of human desire, and here in Li Meng, there is probably no craziness in the world that she cannot get.
This is also the excellence of Li Meng’s acting skills.
She never plays the identity of the character, only the desire of the character.
Everyone praises Li Meng for his ability to play the role of Wang Yao, a widowed mother at such a young age, but if you look closely, there is actually no "mom-like" about Wang Yao's whole body.
Knowing that her husband was taking his ex-wife’s son shopping, he quickly went to the scene with his daughter to create trouble. The daughter and the man were just a part of Zhu Chaoyang’s play.
In the scene at the entrance of the shopping mall, she took care of Zhu Chaoyang from his collar to his shoes, but every word of her heart was to punish the orphans and widowers -
"Isn't the living expenses enough? The collar is leaking."
" crystal Jing, why did you step on your brother’s shoes? It’s not like you, who wears new shoes every day.”
I always thought this scene was crazier than all the scenes after she lost her daughter, because she couldn’t hide it——
She didn’t She knew her words were vicious, but she was so contemptuous and resentful that she didn't bother to modify them.
pretended to look at his phone, but his mind had already scanned Zhu Chaoyang from top to bottom.
The feint of anger when he asked his daughter to apologize was like a hastily packed dagger, with the blade still exposed, and he couldn't wait to smash it at the other party without even having time to clean up his mouth.
is ridiculous because when it comes to the quality of life and the results of female competition, she is clearly the winner.
But she still didn't want to leave a crack in her husband's past, even if she wanted to leave a little adult dignity in front of her children.
Her hatred was so real and intense, as if Zhu Chaoyang was the one who stole her husband.
It was precisely because of the extreme malice of a villain who was unwilling to show mercy when he was in power that Zhu Chaoyang’s subsequent extreme behavior was heavily foreshadowed.
And it is Li Meng who can act this kind of "why bother" malice so naturally.
Obviously, the disadvantages are as great as the benefits.
Past events have proven that this way of living incarnated desire is really difficult to survive in this world.
Just like Scarlett "acting" to lose her true love, Li Meng also "acted" and lost too many precious opportunities.
Moreover, I don’t want to simply regard this as a cliché and elegance of a sharp stone being smoothed away.
because that's not the case either.
If you let your desires run rampant in your body, you will never be able to live as a so-called sharp stone.
accept all kinds of desires without making a choice, without establishing a clear personality. The most direct result is that it seems open, but in fact it is nothingness.
She said in her diary: It is the roles that give me different definitions of life.
Therefore, when she acted in "Young Babylon", she felt that she was the one who chose herself over love.
And when she acted in "A Better Tomorrow 2018", she felt that Mei Lin was also the one who insisted on love and always followed her eldest brother.
Li Meng’s Douban Diary "Respect the Past and Respect the Future Written for 2018"
seems to be looking for fragments of herself in the characters, but it seems that any character can become her self.
is like clouds. The so-called various forms are actually because they have no form. Any instinctive wind can carry her away.
is just like the fog that Scarlett finally escaped into. In a chaotic mood, she was confused about "What is the most important thing?" In labor pain, after saying "I'll think about it tomorrow", I quickly refuted myself.
This time she said: "I have to think."
Will Li Meng reach Scarlett's moment?
The answer is, before she knew it, she had already arrived.
Many people don’t know that in 2021, Li Meng actually responded to the Apple switch incident.
In the interview, she said that she insisted on changing because she felt that the color of the apple was wrong and she was afraid of being exposed. When asked why she did not explain it directly at the variety show, she said:
I think the most important thing is that Teacher Zhang Songwen wants to protect my heart.
Regardless of the situation on the set, how big the color difference of Apple can be, at least Li Meng on the variety show scene began to make a choice.
She chose to cherish Zhang Songwen's feelings for her and suppress the unhappiness of being misunderstood.
To be honest, I am not surprised by such a day, nor do I lament that "the beast has been tamed".
I know this is just because Li Meng’s life began to have gravity.
She understands what is most important.
And her choice is as expected, to "cherish love".
This is the answer that can only be given by the experientialists who believe in empiricism.
is almost a good actor and will definitely give the answer.
Now look back at the arrogant past.
When she was filming Bailuyuan, she was just an 18-year-old girl who had just entered college. No matter how mature she was, how mature could she be?
Now when I look back at the Moments I posted when I was 18, they are all so lawless that I dig my toes into the ground.
Although people can’t, they won’t stay at 18 forever.
Rationalist people rely on thinking to analyze and progress, while empiricist people rely on feelings to understand and grow.
The former is fast and is also the path chosen by most people, but haven’t we seen the results?
How many people give up their social identity in the so-called rational choice.
In this industry, there is no shortage of humble, polite and well-rounded wooden actors.
On the one hand, the same group of people cherished Li Meng's mystery, but on the other hand, they were unwilling to tolerate her inexplicable, and they were always labeled as a corrupt artist.
Is it too much to have both?
Li Meng once said that his father told him that the reason why she was called "Meng" was because when she was born, there was a tree outside the window, a bird chirped three times, and the sun climbed up in an orderly manner. It was as beautiful as a dream.
Here, her comment was: "It's so illogical, but my eyes are filled with tears."
Then she accepted the name.
The answer has always been on the riddle. Li Meng is a dream, and he never cares about the truth, only about the feeling in his heart.
And everyone is always in a hurry to use reason to frame a dream.
right or wrong.
is too boring. .
