And the most challenging part is to get the actor into the emotions of all aspects of the role, whether he can discover more subtle things in other aspects, and grasp these flowing and subtle things is more challenging.

Beijing News: The story of Hua Mulan is a household name in China, and she is also the first Asian protagonist in a Disney live-action movie. What does "Mulan" in your heart look like? What thoughts do you hope to convey to the audience through this role?

Liu Yifei: Hua Mulan is a person who can quickly accept changes even if the external situation keeps changing. In addition to being very wise, she also did not give up her intuition. Regarding her true requirements and ideas, she will eventually return to her original intention and choose to be herself. I have no way to convey any thoughts directly. This is a distracting thought. I can only say that I try to understand the happiness, anger, sorrow and joy that belong to Mulan. I think her bravery and love for home are also based on her mature responsibility and cognition. Above, use love to resolve many things.

Beijing News: Acting in a role for a global audience, were you stressed during the filming?

Liu Yifei: Try not to have distracting thoughts like pressure. I always say that every role will be given equal weight of respect. Someone asked me before if I want to have a world stage. In all fairness, as an actor, I would certainly think that it is an opportunity for more people to see you, and more people will resonate with your role. Of course It is a very attractive and meaningful thing. As for being impressed, every day is actually the same. I never divide my performance into cutscenes and replays, and only treat every day as the most important day.

Beijing News: To stand out from nearly a thousand interviewees around the world and become the first Chinese protagonist in a Disney live-action movie. What do you think is the basis for winning this role?

Liu Yifei: I feel very honored. It may be that the director sees the actors intuitively, especially when you do not have the help of persuasion during the audition, and you do not have the direct stimulation of the actor in the opponent's play, you just read the script in front of the camera. The criterion of the director's judgment is whether you can enter the state of the role. It’s quite simple to say, to assess an actor, it must be seen whether the actor has shown emotional confidence, because he is going to play a role, Is always to express the mood of this character at all times.

Beijing News: You have always been very cruel to yourself when it comes to filming. Can you introduce the hard work in preparing for this film?

Liu Yifei: In the past, it might only be necessary to practice swords or complete martial arts movements, but this time the crew hopes that my whole body can adapt to the requirements of filming, so I need to do a lot of basic physical training, although it is very effective but also very hard. The first thing I do every morning is to exercise for two hours, plus two hours of martial arts training. However, now I feel more and more that playing drama is relatively simple, you can learn and learn. The most challenging part is that you step into all aspects of the character's emotions, whether you can discover more subtle things in other aspects, and it is even more challenging to grasp these flowing and subtle things.

Beijing News: Will there be some "sequelae" after Hua Mulan is played? For example, will this character continue to appear in your real life?

Liu Yifei: No (laughs). Actually, when filming, I do get up early and go to bed regularly every day, but you know, when I’m not filming, I’m still used to going to bed late.

Beijing News: How do you integrate yourself into Mulan and show off her different personalities during filming?

Liu Yifei: Actually, every time an actor talks about the process of preparing himself, he feels a little boring, because this thing can’t deceive people. You will gain a lot of homework as you do. Many times you have to let go of yourself and not just Thinking of how brave Mulan is. Indeed, I am playing a hero who wants to show her brave side, but in fact everyone is very complicated, Mulan is no exception, her inner thoughts are not completely that great. She will be hesitated and doubtful, and those with these emotions are real people. I have always felt that a person's bravery is not always going forward, but when he sees fear, he chooses to go forward. This kind of bravery has levels.
