The queen of literature and art, Gui Lunmei, wants to disappear when not filming

’s desktop and refreshing spokesperson, Gui Lunmei, is already a queen of literature and art. We chatted with her in Cannes. This month, Gui Lunmei’s birthday is coming. The actress who best fits our fantasy of "Taiwan female high school students", Meng Kerou in "The Blue Gate" and Lu Xiaoyu in "The Secret that Cannot Be Said", are 37 years old. I saw her at the Cannes Film Festival in France this year. She still wears her iconic short hair and her eyes are full of agility. She was still very thin, wearing an oversized dress, but she still looked like a teenager. Even if there was muddy water on the road, she walked over it carelessly.

​​"The Gathering at Southern Station" debuted in Cannes at the age of 19, which is "Blue Gate"; at the age of 29, he won the Taiwan Golden Horse Film Queen and the double film queen of the Asia Pacific Film Festival; Gui Lunmei is no longer just a spokesperson for young and fresh girls, with few works, but She is a literary queen with good looks, temperament and solid acting skills. She is the favorite actress of Golden Bear director Diao Yinan. In 2014's "Fireworks in the Day", Diao Yinan won the Golden Bear in Berlin, and the heroine Xiao Mei was nominated for the third time. Five years later, Diao Yinan took "The Gathering at South Station" to compete for the Palme d'Or in Cannes, bringing together powerful male stars such as Hu Ge and Liao Fan, while Gui Lunmei continued to be the heroine. Today, this film is shown in mainland cinemas, and it is also one of the films I look forward to most this year. She is not a fragile little fresh, she is fierce in her bones. Gui Lunmei, who just wants to hide and disappear without filming, lives completely in another world under the star system: no topic, no position, no exposure, no headlines... So when we meet her, we still talk about movies And life.

01

The sense of danger is very important.

Xiaomei joined the crew of "The Party at Southern Station" two months in advance. "The Gathering at South Station" is a black crime film with a temperament similar to that of "Fireworks in the Day". Liu Ai'ai, played by Xiao Mei, is a "accompanying swimmer", a sex worker in a gray area who helps the wanted criminal Zhou Zenong (played by Hu Ge) join in for a reward of 20,000 yuan.

Gui Lunmei’s acting skills really don’t need to be repeated. Although she has always been the spokesperson of Taiwanese literary youth, she is able to interpret sex worker Liu Aiai's ruthless, ruthless or uncertain duality. Looking at the whole film, you will find that although the story is dominated by men, the female characters are very bright in it.

is set in Wuhan because of the background of the story. Xiaomei has conducted intensive Wuhan dialect training. Two months before joining the group, Xiao Mei and the Wuhan dialect teacher moved into the tube building rented for her by the crew. There were no assistants and no other staff. The last gunfight scene in the

movie was shot in this building. And Liu Aiai's temperament is also hidden in such a tube building. This is the second collaboration between Liao Fan and Xiao Mei, who starred in the film as the captain of the serious case. Liao Fan said that Xiaomei has completely lived in the story, just like a real Wuhan native.

"The first time I walked into that building, I was very scared. It was dark, there was almost no light in the aisle, and the houses one after another crowded a lot of people. You don't know what kind of people live inside", Xiao Magnesium describes the house where he lived for a month, "At that time, it was just during the Chinese New Year, and nobody cleaned it. The aisles were all rubbish, and the window lattices were all oil stains." "But I think Liu Ai'ai should live in this kind of place. "

Liu Aiai and Xiaomei's previous role of Wu Zhizhen in "Fireworks in the Day" have similarities, but they are more different. Wu Zhizhen, the femme fatale who committed a serious crime, is black, while Liu Aiai, who is a little greedy, a little cowardly but still innocent, is gray.

Xiaomei said that the role of Liu Aiai is more difficult for her than Wu Zhizhen.

"Wu Zhizhen has committed a serious crime and is responsible for an incident that she does not want to talk about, but she must pretend to live normally. This state is relatively simple, I personally think it is better to understand."

"Fireworks in the Day" Wu Zhizhen "But Liu Aiai's psychological activities are very complicated. Does she want to go to the dark, take the money to live a new life, or follow the weak morality in her heart, I have to seriously ponder her changing psychological activities. Liu Aiai's role. The essence is clean, but her profession is relatively professional. The director is actually very obscure when dealing with this area. He wants the audience to feel the complexity of this role."

The original residents of

Tongzilou did not know that they had a new neighbor. Xiaomei wears "Liu Ai'ai" clothes and shuttles in the village in the city every day, using the beginner Wuhan dialect to chat with her mother-in-laws and play mahjong with them. At night, Xiao Mei pretends to be street girls, runs to observe how they communicate with guests, and even pretends to go to the "touching" place to drink with young girls. I asked Xiao Mei, "When you experience life in this way, do you have no psychological burden? Including safety hazards." She replied, "When I went to'touch and sing', I was a little nervous. But I think it is dangerous. Feeling is something that anyone can do in this industry. Even if she is familiar with it, I still have a sense of danger and fear, so just to experience it."

"It is necessary to experience the sense of crisis or danger ."

is a fresh spokesperson?

No, there is a fierceness in my heart. The

desktop girl is Gui Lunmei's masterpiece, or she is the person with the most pure temperament unique to high school girls.

She always has a neat short hair, just the right length, matched with ordinary T-shirt and jeans, her eyes are as clear as spring water, and she is ignorant of first-time sadness.

In 2000, 17-year-old Gui Lunmei and her boyfriend were arguing with her boyfriend in Ximending, but he was seen by Yi Zhiyan's deputy director, who was choosing actors for "Blue Gate". He made Xiao Mei smile at DV and asked her what she wanted to say to the director. She shook her head, left her phone number and left. Perhaps thanks to this boyfriend who irritated her, Meng Kerou, who was fluttering in the wind later, became the actor Gui Lunmei.

Although Gui Lunmei later became the spokesperson of the youth film in Taiwan Province, her choice was not the groaning of diseaselessness in general, but to make each work have something to say and love to narrate. To this day, "Blue Door", which has been 17 years in the past, is still one of the most worthy of youth movies. In the lens, the 17-year-old Gui Lunmei is clear and refined. For many people of the same age, the sun at three o’clock in the afternoon is always a spell; the closed door opened with a bang; Zhang Shihao is the true dream girl compared to Li Daren of Chen Bolin later. This debut made Gui Lunmei go to Cannes. What

let more audiences know about her is Jay Chou's debut "Secrets that Cannot Be Telled". I believe many people will agree with this statement: "The Secret That Cannot Be Said" is Jay Chou's best movie, and Gui Lunmei's Lu Xiaoyu is also the best Lu Xiaoyu. The film was shot on the banks of Tamkang, and Gui Lunmei is also finishing his studies at Tamkang University. The hidden fate makes Gui Lunmei and Lu Xiaoyu coincide with each other.

"The Secret That Cannot Be Said" And later let Xiao Mei win the "Girlfriend Boyfriend" of Golden Horse Movie Queen, Lin Meibao can only be her. The scene where Mei Bao watched Feng Xiaoyue shave her sideburn hair was unforgettable. No one is more suitable to wear school uniforms than Gui Lunmei, and no one is more ordinary than her, but ordinary is so ordinary that people are heart-stirring.

​​"Girlfriend Boyfriend" Lin Meibao Outside of youth movies, Gui Lunmei has been trying different roles. In "Informant", she challenged the "woman of the gangster", "Ocean Paradise" is a clown who turns into a pole dancer at night, "The Flying Sword of Dragon" is an exotic princess, "A Woman Is Not Bad" is a savage girlfriend, "Fireworks" is a murderer, this time "The Gathering at Southern Station" is a sex worker... Not every time these changes will be well received, many viewers still want to see her become Lu Xiaoyu wearing a horn button coat . In the face of such a voice, Gui Lunmei replied, "I can't let me play a little girl when I reach 35, right?"

"Ocean Paradise" Xiao Mei is never a good girl. When she was selected to star in "Blue Door", her father was very opposed, but she just refused to give up, and in the end her father compromised. She would not listen to her parents on everything, and she would not develop according to the "Gu Lunmei that others want". There are not many works, but the essence. Rather than preserving a pure and beautiful screen image, she hopes to show more of women through different types of characters. "Although I feel weak, but I actually have a strength in my heart. Sometimes that strength is rebellious and sometimes rebellious," Gui Lunmei said, "That strength is to make me try a lot. Like me, I just want to do it." She is in "Fireworks in the Day"Li did it, and "The Party at Southern Station" was the second stop. She allowed more audiences to see her plasticity, to see her deep and sincere side-this is a non-kitchen and serious actress.

The "disappearing" Gui Lunmei:

I don't want to be particularly active in sprinting

and Gui Lunmei's keywords in my career, not only "youth", but also "disappearing."

her exposure rate is very low, which causes her to be reported as "long time no see" every time she comes out. In recent years, she has reduced the number of works. There are at most 1 or 2 movies a year, and sometimes she doesn't work at all.

"Because I have replayed life's content more heavily." Xiao Mei smiled at me, "I suddenly found that apart from my busy work, I seem to have nothing to do with my family and friends.

" I Ask yourself, is this what I want? It seems not at all. My parents are getting older, and I will be more comfortable if I spend more time with them. Now I don't want to be particularly active in sprinting in my career. "

movie "The Farthest Distance" stills, she also said that when the age is up, it is more difficult to receive the characters and scripts that excite me, so it is natural to pay more attention to life. "When I was young, more The movie describes youth and talks about love. But when you are 30 or 40 years old, approaching the age of 40, it seems that there are fewer opportunities for rich female characters to be shown in movies. "The role of "Liu Ai'ai" touched Gui Lunmei because of her "atypical" worker side. She jumped out of the stereotype and created a different prowler.

If Liu Aiai is not satisfied with "The Party at Southern Station" It’s almost impossible for most celebrities today: they have to maintain topicality, exposure, and let more people know themselves. Perhaps, for them, there is nothing "Satisfying role." People at

said that "become famous as early as possible." Gui Lunmei, who became famous early, has been keeping his pace: she has no sense of urgency to become a certain big person, so she doesn't consume herself too much and doesn't value fame and wealth.

Just like every time she comes to Cannes, what she remembers most is going to the beach to play.
