"Cao Hui, a female widow from Shiyang County in the Tang Dynasty, performed an autopsy, and everyone stood back..."
I have been obsessed with this plot for several days recently.
During the scene of her child’s autopsy, none of the surrounding actors could catch her.
Cao Hui entered the stage with determination and domineering attitude, full of aura.
glanced at the deceased and saw that the deceased was her son. Her eyes flickered and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she immediately returned to normal.
tried his best to control his emotions during the autopsy. His voice was calm and no emotion or anger could be heard, and his eyes were full of sadness. When
reported to the county magistrate, her emotions gradually burst out until she fainted after finishing the last sentence.
Although the post-mortem scene is not long, it has clear layers and the emotions fluctuate in an orderly manner without leaving any breath in between. It is very enjoyable.
On the other hand, Yang Zhigang's performance was extremely dull, without any hint of the agility of an actor.
"The Death of Zuzu" is able to become a god, and it is really thanks to these supporting characters.
At first, Little Lucky Star did not recognize the actress who played Cao Hui as Shi Ke, but simply thought that the actress had profound acting skills.
In Little Lucky Star's impression, Shi Ke is a pretty girl with a strong face, big red lips, and passionate, hot and wild character at the same time.
didn't expect that she could completely restrain her own temperament and play such a tragic low-class woman so well.
What is even more unexpected is that Shi Ke and Gong Li were classmates when they were young, and his style was even better than Gong Li's back then.
It's a pity that she didn't cherish the olive branch thrown by fate.
02
Shi Ke is from Hubei. His parents are both intellectuals. They have four daughters. Shi Ke is the fourth child and has been favored since childhood.
The natural sense of relaxation of Wuhan people was perfectly inherited by Shi Ke, and this sense of relaxation had a very important impact on her life.
Nowadays, when people talk about relaxation, they describe more of a laissez-faire attitude.
does not know that the real slack is not to be lax, but to be targeted.
Shi Ke has dreamed of being a singer since she was a child. Her voice was rich and full of breath, which was very suitable for the needs of songs of that era.
means that your luck in exams is too bad, and you are bound to run into trouble every time you take the exam.
She was admitted to Wuhan Conservatory of Music from the age of 19 to 21.
Despite Shi Ke's relaxed nature, there is also a layer of tenacity that refuses to admit defeat that supports her.
In 1985, Shi Ke applied for the Wuhan Conservatory of Music for the third time, and by the way, he applied for the Central Academy of Drama.
That year, the Central Academy of Drama planned to recruit a group of actors who mainly focused on drama, and the main screening criterion was voice.
Shi Ke doesn't know any lines, acting, or body shape. The only thing he can use is his loud voice.
This year Shi Ke received admission notices from Wuhan Conservatory of Music and Chinese Opera.
After working hard for his dream for 3 years, why did Shi Ke give up at the last moment?
Because she felt that Wuhan Conservatory of Music had no vision, it took three years to take the exam before she decided to recruit her.
She chose the Central Academy of Drama with a bit of anger and opened a new chapter in her life.
03
In those years, the recruitment of Chinese Opera students was not once a year like it is now. Shi Ke’s luck was not just as simple as being admitted to the Chinese Opera.
There were "Five Golden Flowers" in Class 85 of the Chinese Drama Theater back then, and Shi Ke and Gong Li were the two most famous ones.
Shi Ke’s bright and majestic appearance, protruding thick lips, and dark skin make her more exotic, and she is nicknamed the Chinese Gypsy girl by the audience.
In those years, China's film and television industry had not yet taken off, and there were not many actresses on the market. When major film studios wanted to cast actors, their first reaction was to go to the Chinese Opera Class 85 to find students.
Shi Ke’s greater happiness is the dividends that the times have brought to them.
does not need to run a team or compete for resources. As long as you want to take on a role, there will be a steady stream of scripts sent to you.
Zhang Yimou was not yet famous that year, and "Red Sorghum" was in preparation.
When Zhang Yimou came to choose a female lead in a Chinese drama, the first thing he fell in love with was Shi Ke. In that era, girls like Shi Ke were unforgettable.
Gu Changwei is more rational than Zhang Yimou. She feels that Shi Ke's appearance is too wild and does not fit Jiu'er's image.
Looking at Gong Li, her appearance and temperament are more Chinese-style, her thin figure is more contrasting, and she can better demonstrate female power.
Because Shi Ke was not selected, Zhang Yimou wrote a letter to Shi Ke to express his apology and promised to cooperate if there is an opportunity in the future.
Shi Ke didn't take it to heart after reading the letter, because she had a more important role to play.
At that time, Zhang Yimou had not yet become famous, but Yan Xueshu, the director of the movie "The Killer", had already won the Golden Rooster Award and the Grand Prix of the Southern French International Film Festival.
The investment in "Red Sorghum" was only 500,000 yuan, while the investment in "Killer Love" was 4 million yuan.
Shi Ke, who missed "Red Sorghum", has no time to feel sad.
Even looking back from God's perspective, Shi Ke still doesn't feel that he has missed a huge opportunity.
But she knew in her heart that her looseness caused her to miss many opportunities.
04
Destiny gave Shi Ke many opportunities to leap over the dragon's gate, but she always stopped because of her appearance.
is like the movie "The Beginning of Spring", a movie based on her, but Jiang Wenli ended up starring in it.
In those few years, film and television dramas were still groping forward, and her bright and majestic appearance was really different from traditional Chinese women.
Fortunately, her main focus is on dramas, and she occasionally takes on some movies and TV shows.
"Enjoyable" made Jiang Shan famous and Liu Bei popular, but few people remember that Shi Ke was also among them.
Time has arrived at the turn of the millennium, and Gong Li has jumped onto a broader stage.
Shi Ke’s schoolmates Chen Xiaoyi, Jiang Shan, and Xu Fan gradually walked towards the center of the stage.
Freshly blooming flowers are always more attractive to the market and the audience than old flowers.
Shi Ke's market was being divided up little by little, but she didn't feel any panic at all.
If you should act, you should get married and have children.
Huang Xiaomao is Shi Ke’s first husband. The two became engaged in music and devoted themselves to their careers.
Both husband and wife work in the entertainment industry, so it is normal to spend less time together and more time apart.
Less togetherness and more separation, and a lack of communication is the main reason for divorce.
Shi Ke and Huang Xiaomao’s divorce had a lot to do with the hit to her career.
Due to issues such as excessive filming intensity, Shi Ke and Jiang Shan stopped performing in the drama "If You're Divorced, Don't Come to Me."
's move aroused widespread attention in the circle, and subsequently the two were expelled from the theater and banned for 2 years.
Shi Ke, who was in urgent need of her husband's comfort at this time, did not get the warmth he imagined.
Shi Ke, who always talked about divorce whenever they had a quarrel, finally reached the stage of divorce with Huang Xiaomao.
After getting the divorce certificate, Shi Ke wanted to have a breakup dinner with Huang Xiaomao, but what was waiting for him was that the other party had something to do and couldn't come.
The dinner was mixed with tears, which is unforgettable.
05
Sometimes life is really strange. Shi Keming had just ended a failed marriage, and before he could get out of the shadows, he turned around and met his destined person.
Shi Ke met her husband on a cruise ship where she was traveling abroad to relax.
Shi Ke's appearance is not very popular in China, but it is really popular abroad.
Shi Ke was relaxing on the deck. Her friend discussed her appearance with a group of foreigners. The foreign friends were full of praise for her, including her husband Christian.
A friend asked Christiane, if it were you, would you be willing to marry her?
Christiane's sentence: "why no" sealed the fate of the two.
In that era when communication was still dependent on email, the two exchanged thoughts across the ocean.
Later, Christiane came to Beijing twice to visit Shi Ke, and the relationship between the two developed rapidly.
Although Christian is a foreigner, he can respect and tolerate all Shi Ke's living habits.
Shi Ke followed her husband to live in Zurich. The difference in living habits made her uncomfortable, so she finally chose to return to China.
Without much hesitation, her husband quit his high-paying job in a bank and followed Shi Ke to settle in China.
Christiane does not have the consciousness that men should be the outsiders and women should be the inside. He is very supportive and proud of his wife's efforts to develop her career.
He never refuses to experience various customs in China. He loves such a lively China.
Shi Ke slowly lost his aggressiveness and became soft and elegant under the nourishment of love.
The increase in life experience and the change in temperament allowed Shi Ke to break through the limitations of his own image, and he did not feel any sense of disobedience in acting in a tragic drama.
The popularity of "Tie Lihua" and "Mother's Way" brought Shi Ke back to the public eye.
Although she is not as bright and beautiful as she was when she was young, the majesty, casualness and relaxation that the years have given her have never changed.
She is also more able to hold up the role of traditional women and can perfectly interpret their inner strength.
06
Shi Ke said in the interview that he did not stay young seriously, and now he can only choose to grow old seriously. When
was young, her school teachers had high hopes for her and believed that she could continue to reach the top.
She has indeed disappointed many people and missed another possibility in her life.
But she really has no regrets at all.
People often say, don't beautify the road you haven't traveled, it may not be better than your current situation.
Gong Li's achievements in the film field are enviable.
But the harvest of love in Shi Ke is also a beautiful choice.
What's more, now that she has come to her senses, she is also seriously shaping different characters.
For actors of their generation, no matter how big or small the role, they all act as actors.
She still has the opportunity to play more roles like Cao Hui.
