"A sharp mouth but a soft heart, capable of bending and stretching and attaching great importance to love and righteousness!" In the popular new year drama "Flowers" currently being broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV and other platforms, Ma Yili's Lingzi has become one of her classic roles. Recently, Ma Yili talked about many tidbits during the three-year filming process in an exclusive interview with reporters. She said with emotion: "Everyone will definitely be able to see the changes in our faces over time when watching the show!" Mr. Bao has the "respectability" of Shanghainese between him!
In the play, Lingzi, played by Ma Yili, and Mr. Bao, played by Hu Ge, collaborated to open a restaurant full of urban smoke and smoke, Night Tokyo. She is smart and capable, and will take action promptly when Mr. Bao encounters difficulties, and handle complex interpersonal relationships appropriately; she is also well-rounded, and is generous when facing guests, making others smile with her jokes. In Ma Yili's words, this character is truly remarkable. "When I was acting, I thought she was very powerful, flexible and flexible, and she also valued friendship. There is a relationship between her and Mr. Bao that is difficult to understand for others, because she has these qualities."
"I don't think anyone can Emotionally, be sober in the world. Lingzi loves A Bao. I am very clear that Lingzi loves A Bao deeply." Ma Yili has her own interpretation of the relationship between the two that is difficult for others to understand: There is a deep connection between Lingzi and Mr. Bao. Shanghainese care about and value "decency". "This kind of dignity is reflected in the sense of distance and security. The relationship between Lingzi and Abao is open and relaxed, and there are back and forth. Lingzi will cooperate with Abao's dignity, and Abao will fulfill Lingzi's dignity. It is a sense of order with regional characteristics."
Coincidentally, Qin Wen, the screenwriter of the drama version of "Flowers", had previously collaborated with Ma Yili in "The First Half of My Life". When they met again, the two had a better understanding. . "Teacher Qin Wen understands women's language and sense of language very well, and quarrels and curses are also contexts we are very familiar with." Therefore, even if she only gets the script when she goes to the scene for makeup every day, Ma Yili will still quickly follow the lines to see if she can add some new and more interesting things. Even Hu Ge, who is responsible for the whole process of being "scolded", will also join in. Among them, creating together.
Talking behind the scenes:
Wong Kar-wai is a delicate and warm-hearted person, but he will also say, "If the acting is not good, I will cut it for you."
This cooperation with Wong Kar-wai is also very unforgettable for Ma Yili. In her opinion, Wong Kar-Wai is a very delicate and warm-hearted person: Ma Yili gets hungry easily when the work intensity is high and likes to eat small desserts to satisfy her hunger, so Wong Kar-Wai will specially ask the staff to prepare small desserts on the set; when not filming, Ma Yili is habitually a little hunchbacked, and Wong Kar-wai will always remind her "Don't hunch your back, keep your chest up".
Wong Kar-Wai's warmth also made Ma Yili work harder to create the character: In order to get a good shot of a look, she filmed from 11pm to around 2am, repeatedly wearing high heels and climbing up a stool to change the light bulb. Thirty-four, and no complaints. Although it was very hard during the filming, Ma Yili could not hide her excitement when the film was released, and said that Wong Kar-wai had captured her most beautiful look. "He is a director who loves actors very much. Through the working process, he will constantly get to know the actors and discover the beautiful points in the actors, as well as the points that other directors have never seen. Then he will ask the screenwriter to modify the script and give it to the actors. More display space."
Ma Yili said with a smile that Wong Kar-wai often said on the set, "If you don't act well, I'll cut it for you." So everyone tried their best to perform every scene well. "When you watch the show, you will definitely be able to see the changes in our faces over time. It's not about whether there are wrinkles on our faces, but the changes in our eyes. Three years ago, our eyes were very confused. When filming was completed three years later, there was something in our eyes. Tired. I think this is in line with a process of life."
