Recently, Song Jia's role as Principal Zhang Guimei in the 9-minute Chinese drama "Mountain Flowers" was widely praised. Next door, Hai Qing, who also played the film version of Zhang Guimei, was rejected.

The latter was questioned as being eager for quick success in winning awards, while the former was booked by netizens as a candidate for the Feitian Award.

Recently, Song Jia's role as Principal Zhang Guimei in the 9-minute Chinese drama 'The Flowers of the Mountain' was widely praised. Next door, Hai Qing, who also played the film version of Zhang Guimei, was rejected. The latter was questioned as being eager for quick success - Lujuba

Speaking of , Song Jia has some luck with her.

As early as 2012, Song Jia and Tang Wei both played Xiao Hong, but Song Jia's version beat Zhang Ziyi's "The Grandmaster" (at that time, Zhang Chai won the top five film awards) and Yan Bingyan's "Wan Jian" "Through the Heart", two critically acclaimed works, won the Golden Rooster Award.

In the same year, Song Jia's "Cliff" defeated the most popular movie of the year - "The Legend of Zhen Huan" by Empress, and won the Magnolia and Golden Eagle trophies.

Looking back, the prize potential is still very good, and the Grand Slam is just around the corner.

At the same time, Yao Chen in Tsing Yi, whose luck in prizes was so bad, wanted to treat her like a koi and say goodbye to (not .

But it can be seen that everyone is still a little bit behind-the-scenes about Song Jia's good luck in prizes.

I often mentioned it before Compared with Hai Qing, Yao Chen, Tao Hong, and Yuan Quan, who were born around the 1980s, Song Jia's presence is not high. Only now have I discovered that she has unknowingly overtaken the two fields of TV dramas and movies, becoming a top player. Resources, the most impressive performance, and the reputation is rapidly rising.

What is Song Jia's philosophy of life? For a veteran actor who has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years, luck is indeed her natural advantage. It's not high, but it seems to have the metaphysics of "following the rules".

After graduating from Shanghai Opera, other students were actively looking for their own way. Only Song Jia didn't even fill out the graduation job application form and stayed in Shanghai. Filming some so-called frivolous roles did not prevent her from living a bourgeois life. It wasn't until 2006 that she met Liang Xiaoxia, the character who turned her acting switch on in "Curiosity Killed the Cat", and was nominated for the 26th Film Festival. Golden Rooster.

She wanted to get rid of her sexy label and become "unfashionable" after her performance, and it happened that she encountered "Crossing the World". After watching "Curiosity Killed the Cat", the director asked Song Jia for a film, and Song Jia gave it to her. The rooftop scene in the picture above.

What’s funny is that Song Jia felt so deeply about her scene. The director was watching from the front, and Song Jia was standing behind him crying. In the end, she really relied on the "self-confidence" of this new actor "Love" successfully joined the cast of .

However, Song Jia was not sure that she could play Tan Xian'er from the beginning. The filming conditions were difficult at that time, and this tragic and persevering female role requires actors to endure hardships.

Song Jia, who filmed the water scenes in the Northeast's minus 20-degree weather, was thinking about whether or not to carry her passport with her (worrying about traveling abroad). Song Jia became famous because she was judged for being "able to endure hardship". .

With the support of gold medal manager Wang Jinghua, Song Jia was also exposed to John Woo's "Red Cliff" and was selected to act on the same stage with Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Lin Chi-ling and other big names.

In just two years, it has completed a triple jump of doubling resources.

‍ went so smoothly that Song Jia herself lamented that she could meet the right role at every opportunity.

What's annoying is that Song Jia always says that this is pie in the sky, but she still has a superb sense of relaxation and insensitivity that "unintentionally inserts willows into the shadow".

Even if the pie fell at her feet, she would not think of picking it up, but would have to hit herself in the face to pick it up.

Of course, this kind of insensitivity can make her invisible amidst the scolding.

has good luck in winning prizes, but the reputation of "water prize" will not fall on her; has good resources, and will not be called a resource person.

But it also means that the nationality and recognition are not enough, and it is easy to be ignored and forgotten.

In fact, she should be on the list of sexually charged female stars in domestic entertainment, but she is often reduced to the background of the sexually charged male stars.

Her partner is Zhang Yu in "The Calm"

Her partner is Liao Fan in "The Master"

Perhaps many people don't know that Song Jia also played Yu Mo in "Forty-nine Days·Sacrifice".

Although the Douban score of the show is two points higher than that of "Thirteen Hairpins in Jinling", more people remember the more exquisite and charming version of Jade Mo by Ni Ni.

Even the several awards that Song Jia won as we mentioned at the beginning also have their own invisibility effect.

In terms of reputation, Song Jia's version of "Xiao Hong" is already suspected of being a "fashionable" female writer. It is not as popular as Zhang Ziyi's Gong Er and Yan Bingyan's Li Baoli.

‍

In terms of the degree of being outside the circle, Song Jia's "The Cliff" has a good reputation, but it is not as popular as "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which is still popular among Zhen scholars today.

The public seems to have always acquiesced in this consensus: high-quality resources should be matched with high-quality acting skills, and only when they receive a generally enthusiastic response can they be effectively used.

But for Song Jia.

Before the word-of-mouth fermentation of "When Mountain Flowers Bloom" this time, people couldn't help but wonder. Is such a result really worthy of such a good resource as ?

But looking at it on the other hand, there is another positive synonym that is not recognized, drama .

Song Jia’s appearance condition belongs to the category of “large space”, which is her talent advantage as an actor.

Tall and Zhou Zheng, appropriate to the past and present, both "foreign" and "local". It can be grand and sexy, or pure and bright. ~~can attack when advancing, and can defend when retreating.~~.

is difficult to summarize, which also determines that her acting career can be wider.

She has filmed many and miscellaneous works, including suspenseful literary films, historical dramas, and emotional urban dramas, from mountain gangsters to criminal police agents, from the bottom to the middle class, from character actors to neurotics...

Almost different temperament types She plays all the roles well and rarely repeats them.

She fell in love with Zhang Yu sweetly in "The Calm Wave"

In "There is a Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind", she turned into a "crazy beauty"

But the so-called drama celebrities are not famous, there are advantages.

is like Haiqing turning a character type into a label. This is of course also a skill, but subsequent breakthroughs often become transformations with ulterior motives.

But Sonja seems to have no talk of transformation, and is hardly restricted by any label.

Even if ’s nationality is not as good as other Qingyi in the same period, she doesn’t really care.

After performing "Curiosity Killed the Cat", Song Jia was very repelled by the word "sexy".

At that time, she believed that sexiness was only due to the exposure of flesh, and had nothing to do with performance ability.

But she did not fall into the other extreme and couldn't extricate herself. On the contrary, she can still perform "sexy" in the future.

The elegant and sensual wife in "Master".

Lin Hui, the neurotic "crazy beauty critic" in "There is a Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind".

When they are performed with charm, sexy is no longer just a label, but is integrated into different character temperaments.

Song Jia's acting style without clear dividing lines, seems to be arbitrary and unorganized, but it can make the actor become a "chameleon" .

Many actresses will seek transformation based on age, but Song Jia is exactly the type who has no sense of age.

"You should play a certain role at your age" often does not hold true for her.

She can play mature women and middle-aged women in her twenties. She has played many mother roles before she became a mother, and she can also handle difficult roles with a long time span.

What’s interesting is that even Song Jia herself didn’t realize that has no sense of age when it comes to acting.

Because in her understanding, if you learn acting, you must be able to act in anything.

Her role as the mother in "Little Sheer" was discussed, which puzzled her.

Because she feels that the role of mother should not be an age dividing line, nor a mark to distinguish whether an actor has transformed or not, but just a creative object like playing a pencil or a lamp.

Being in the entertainment industry, actresses have always been used to being stared at, but you will find that Song Jia can think and create outside of the perspective of being stared at, and question the stereotyped thinking in the industry.

She is full of confidence in the career life of actresses, does not think that actors only eat youth food, and scorns age anxiety.

also thinks that actresses enter the industry not because they are young and beautiful, but because of their creative ability.

should not use misaligned concerns such as the appearance and status of female celebrities to cover up their own problems.

We came to this industry

It is not because I am young and beautiful

It is because I have the ability

I have the ability to achieve a role and a work

I have the ability to create

This is what female creators

come to this industry for.

To be precise, this kind of counter-gaze is the perspective of an actress rather than a female star.

Celebrities are often reduced to talking points, or even actively create talk topics, but actors will take themselves out and examine their professionalism from a broader perspective.

After "Forty-nine Days·Festival" was aired, someone compared her with Ni Ni's version of Yumo and asked her what she thought.

Song Jia said -

The so-called enchanting

is not as touching and shocking as her (Yu Mo).

Maybe we pay more attention to the fate of the character

It is her inner emotions

I don’t think there is any comparison

I know You want to see us compete, but I don’t want to compete.

In her opinion, these are just two art samples created by different people around the same creative object.

Ni Ni’s version has its own beauty and temperament. She is almost a colorful symbol under Zhang Yimou’s lens. She is not concrete, because the body is too beautiful, but it has a dehumanizing abstraction.

As for Song Jia’s version of jade ink, it is not so delicate and glamorous, but has a dusty coldness and heaviness.

Song Jia said that she never analyzes herself, but is very honest and understanding of herself.

For example, it is difficult for you to hear an actress say that she does not have much inside and is "quite empty."

is suitable to be an actor just because he is very simple, so he can leave more space for the character.

But as a creator, "empty" does not make her feel inferior, but makes her confident.

This kind of simplicity makes it easier to see the essence, has clear goals, and appears transparent and pure.

Because there is another senior actor with the same name in the circle, Song Jia was always called "Little Song Jia" when she first debuted.

Some people advised her to change her name to be more recognizable, but she felt it was unnecessary.

From "Little Song Jia" to "Song Jia", she would still choose to "take the long way around" rather than "take the shortcut".

But in fact, the silent reward money and the repeated role collisions can easily lead to the suspicion of "speculation".

This time Hai Qing was scolded for being eager for quick success to win awards, but she seemed to be more than ready to donate money to Huaping. At first glance,

seems to be a reference to draw lessons from the past, but this is not necessarily the case.

"When the Mountain Flowers Bloom" was released later than the movie version, but preparations for it began as early as 20 years ago.

Furthermore, for a creator, how can Song Jia, who is blank inside, always be able to play profound roles?

In addition to the technical issues, it also benefited from the sensitive tentacles she grew outwards.

Take the recent role of Principal Zhang Guimei played by Song Jia in "Mountain Flowers".

You can’t achieve this role just by acting, but you can capture the cute feeling in the context of being from the Northeast.

makes the characters cute and gives them a sense of joy.

However, cuteness is easy to discover, but greatness is difficult to act.

Song Jia once said frankly that when she heard Principal Zhang Guimei personally describe her feelings about reciting the oath to join the Party before filming started, she still couldn't understand it.

It was not until the filming officially started that she finally realized that the tears were not shed because of the difficulty of running the school, but were actually caused by the power of faith, thus presenting the abstract spirit of Principal Zhang. .

So the so-called speculation or not actually depends on whether you are prepared to accept the long-term test of time in order to cope with the random inspection of the awards.

Facts have also proved that the positive feedback Sonja has received from the market is not an accident, but a reasonable return of high-quality resources.

In the current era, the quality of works will directly affect the reputation of actors, and it is difficult for actors to be speculators.

Hai Qing was stepped on and ridiculed after her performance of "I am a Mountain". Song Jia became a treasured talent after her performance of "When Mountain Flowers Are Blooming".

Especially for this group of actors who are known by the public as having quite good acting skills, it is difficult to talk about their acting skills apart from the entire work behind them.

So the reputation of Song Jia and Hai Qing is very different. The problem is not just acting.

In order to pursue a similar appearance, Haiqing basically relies on her skin color and even eats and lives with a Huaping female high school student. No matter how you look at it, it is a professional ethics worthy of praise.

But the flaws in the script itself are not enough to be repaired by this kind of spirit. Hai Qing's "qi" for his bad breath will be overshadowed by the characters.

If you try hard in an inaccurate direction, your efforts will be worthless.

can only try to "lose the battle but not lose others" in the uncontrollable resources of mixed quality.

This is Song Jia’s survival strategy under the established rules of the entertainment industry.

Originally, the audience could not see it because she had luck, talent and clear goals and was already ahead of the pack.

And it is only a matter of time before it is seen.

Compared with Dahua, the stars of the Tsing Yis are naturally much smaller, so they can only choose a steady and steady approach to get a bite out of Dahua's fight.

And in this extremely dangerous struggle, stability is the first-class quality.

Sonja has no sense of existence, so she became Sonja.
