However, she revealed that she had also been "retired" by the crew.

　　During her freshman summer vacation, Gong Li once got a chance to make a TV series. She took the train all night to go to Chengdu to try out the show. But the director just met briefly, and asked her to go back and wait for the news without having to try the show or read the lines.

　　It was not until the next day that the teacher joked that she had been returned by them, and she didn't realize it.

The teacher encouraged her to practice her lines during the holidays and get rid of her Shandong accent. Gong Li said that she was a little bit shocked at the time. Now many young students will definitely have such experiences.

　　Although she missed filming a TV series, new opportunities also came. Later, Gong Li was discovered by Zhang Yimou and starred in the movie "Red Sorghum", thus starting her screen career.

Into the movie from "A Lawsuit in Qiu Ju"

　　Although he moved from "Red Sorghum" to the big screen, Gong Li said frankly that he didn't feel that he really entered the film until the filming of the film "Qiuju's Lawsuit".

　　She said that the filming of the movie had a "pseudo-documentary" feeling. The actors didn't know where the camera was. She wore a headset and a scarf, and she didn't receive any hints. She acted as she wanted. 80% of the scenes were So, "So at that time, if you really enter that role, you can have a high degree of freedom as if you are performing on stage."

　　After that, her perception of images and the relationship with the camera have changed.

　　Regarding "Qiuju's Lawsuit", actor Zhang Songwen also has a deep memory.

　　In 2002, Zhang Songwen rented the house of actor Liu Peiqi. Liu Peiqi said that you can use anything in your house, but there is a cabinet that you must not throw away. If the winter is too cold, you can wear the military coat inside.

　　One winter without heating, Zhang Songwen went to get his army coat, "As soon as I took off a red notebook and came out of that notebook, my hands tremble when I picked it up, and it said "The Shooting Diary of Qiuju's Lawsuit". ." He squatted on the ground and watched for three hours. When he stood up, he even fell down because of dizziness.

　　What impressed Zhang Songwen most was Liu Peiqi's first diary.

After getting off the train, he chatted with the comrades of the crew on the platform, and then took the bus back. "I suddenly found Xiao Li (Gong Li) among the colleague who picked me up just now. She has become a local rural woman. I asked the comrades of the crew and said that Xiao Li lived in a local rural house one month in advance."

　　Zhang Songwen said, "At that time I just graduated, and one night I felt that my skills were greatly enhanced because Gong Li was already in a high position at that time, and she was our predecessor. The diary wrote that she did it this way and observes life. Into the characters."

Actors have to feel attentively

　　This time in the filming of "Lanxin Theater", Gong Li also had a similar feeling to the filming of "Qiuju's Lawsuit".

　　"Creation is not that simple. It took 4 months. The director gave us plenty of freedom. Actually, there were a lot of difficulties in shooting, but after being immersed in the scene, we felt that we should do it. We found some ruins and made some of our own. Scenery, the environment is not very good, but it is not easy to make such a movie in that environment. We are all devoted to it."

　　Zhang Songwen revealed that when he was filming, he wanted to find a martial arts coach to train, but the other party was practicing shooting with Gong Li, because she found that she would subconsciously close her eyes when the bullet came out, so she wanted to practice without fear in her eyes.

　　Having been in the film for many years, Gong Li has many classic works, but she has a different view when it comes to the term "acting."

　　"I think the term is not quite right.'The acting skills are very good' becomes a skill. The actors don't need any skills. Using skills to create characters will be very blunt, so don't use'techniques'. Use your heart. Just feel it."

　　She agreed with Director Lou Ye's saying, "A good acting skill is to forget acting", and further said that the skill should be in the process of preparing the role. When the role has a special identity and skills, the actor should prepare in advance.

　　She mentioned that there is a fan movement in "Memoirs of a Geisha". At that time, she practiced for several months and practiced thousands of times a day. She finally succeeded. As a result, it only showed one second in the movie. "After you practice this technique, it may be It grows on you."

　　For another example, when filming "Lanxin Theater", Lou Ye said that the protagonist had to disassemble the gun and load the bullets when it was dark, and asked her to practice dismantling the gun, but the gun was already rusty, and she persisted until the hand broke, and the last shot was deleted. Lost.

Gong Li said, "But I also understand that this skill needs to be built on Jin (character name). It doesn't matter whether you shoot or not." (End)
