After that, she filmed the TV series "Gold Dust Family" and "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", and became famous for her role as the much-anticipated "Fairy Sister" Wang Yuyan. Liu Yifei was born a beauty embryo, slender figure (height 167 cm, weight 48 kg), hair and waist, skin as clean as jade, a pair of phoenix eyes, floating like a shock.
Once a popular photographic model:
Liu Yifei used to have a very nice name: Liu Ximizi (刘茜美子), nicknamed Xi Xi (Xi Xi). Before going to the US, she studied at Poyang Street Elementary School in Wuhan, where her mother was a soloist in the Wuhan Song and Dance Troupe. Liu Yifei grew up in Wuhan, and now when you walk down the main streets of Wuhan, you can still see her artistic photos hanging in some studios. She used to be a famous photographic model in Wuhan, and in 1995, when she was only 8 years old, Liu Yifei participated in the second "Children's Flower Cup" children's clothing modeling competition in Zhongnan Shangdu and won the championship.
In the photographer's eyes, this child is quiet and well-behaved, and at a young age she is very assertive and quite starry-eyed. I read an article about Liu Yifei by a photographer who took pictures of her, which reads: "She is particularly good, I have taken seven or eight years of photos, and I have rarely encountered such a personalized subject. She is very beautiful, not afraid of the camera at all, the camera does not seem to exist in front of her. Her desire to express herself is very strong, and many poses, without the need for the photographer to say, she posed very well. At that time I thought, this girl will definitely have development in the future."
It is said that many studios in order to come up with new had intended to change other models to do the sample book, but was met with a lot of customer dissatisfaction, they said that it is precisely to see Liu Yifei's photos to take pictures, if the change of her people, they may not have this desire. These photographers also have a **** knowledge: Liu Yifei in life is more beautiful than in photos. This is also my immediate impression of Liu Yifei when I met her. It's probably also the reason why many Jin Yong fans initially saw her photos and didn't accept her as Wang Yuyan. Liu Yifei also admitted that photos are a very important factor, "Some of my photos circulating on the Internet are not provided by me, most of them are snaps taken by other people, and do not record the real me."
This experience as a photographic model is considered Liu Yifei's initial artistic experience. Her mother said that Liu Yifei showed great artistic talent when she was a child, singing, dancing and playing the piano she had a good understanding of, and her mother was interested in letting her develop in the arts.
Falling in love with Wang Yuyan:
"A white silk can kill people, it puts the real life of many impossible things to show, is a fairy tale world for adults." On the "fairy sister" Wang Yuyan she also has her own understanding, "Wang Yuyan is actually just a mortal, she is kind, shy, versatile and sentimental, only in the eyes of Duan Yu became a fairy. I am usually a very quiet person, and her temperament is very similar."
Liu Yifei said she has fallen in love with Wang Yuyan through a period of filming. If she is allowed to choose her role in "Dragon 8" again, she will still lock Wang Yuyan. "From the first time I heard this name I especially like, I think if my last name is Wang, I must also be called Wang Yuyan, even I want to call Liu Yuyan is it good ah. I've always liked this kind of character since I was a kid, quiet, soft, without any schemes, very simple and pure girls. Even if I were to choose how many times again in Tian Long, I would still choose her."
When a reporter mentioned that many people are still skeptical about her image and performance, Liu Yifei revealed her American confidence: "It's good to have pressure, and pressure is also motivation, which can prompt me to work more seriously. People think that I have a distance from the Wang Yuyan in their hearts, and if I act well, it proves my acting skills even more. I think I will not let everyone down." Liu Yifei's confidence and maturity easily make people forget her age, which is in line with the demure and tranquil character of the fairy sister in the drama. She said she didn't treat herself as a child on set for others to pamper her, "Everyone is very equal, and I sometimes take care of Zhong Zhong, Mu Wanqing and the others!" Lin is said to have benefited from Liu Yifei's care, as Liu's mom would help her daughter prepare a portion of bird's nest and soup for Lin every day.
When it comes to one of the most memorable experiences in filming, she said it was the scene where she was lying on the ground and hanging from a wigwam because she always had to keep her lower back down for a long time, which was very painful. And every time she memorized those martial arts secret lines, she felt very awkward.
Zhou Xiaowen, the director of "Eight Dragons", commented on Liu Yifei as follows: "From the point of view of the scenes that have been shot so far, I'm very satisfied with Liu Yifei's performance, and this child's understanding is very good, and the hints that I gave her were very well understood. There was a scene showing the relationship between Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan, we shot it at the lake from the afternoon until four o'clock in the morning the next day, it was very hard, but the kid never complained of being tired. She has a lot of moldable potential."
"Gold Dust Family" first "touch":
Liu Yifei's role in "Gold Dust Family" as Bai Xiuzhu was originally intended to be a Korean actor, and then decided to re-cast the role because the South Korean actor couldn't be in place as scheduled, and the drama had already begun. Liu Yifei as the image of the endorsement of real estate advertising, so she had the first "touch" opportunity.
On June 18, Liu Yifei walked into the cast of Golden Dust Family. In the face of a blank sheet of paper, without any acting experience Liu Yifei, the director's heart bottomless, the crew up and down also in the "drums". But after half a month, she dispelled everyone's doubts. Once, the shooting of a quarrel with Chen Kun played Jin Yanshi Bai Xiuzhu disillusioned drunken tears after the scene, Liu Yifei just can not cry out. The director let people in the beer she drank secretly added some erguotou, unknowingly Liu Yifei a drink on the really drunk, she hard to hold up the body, eyes confused, it is Bai Xiuzhu's sentimental look. With the director's "stop", the scene staff unanimously clapped and applauded. After shooting this scene, Liu Yifei was sick for three days.
Liu Yifei said, "I'm very lucky to be able to work with such a neat production team for my first time acting. There are both artists and excellent actors who graduated from professional art schools, and I've learned a lot of acting skills from them."
Although she has only acted in two movies, Liu Yifei said she has already fallen in love with acting, "I find it very fulfilling to portray a character." Asked what kind of roles she likes to play, she said the simpler the better, she doesn't want to have such a big contrast. Speaking of her future plans, she said she should go to film school after she finishes filming Tian Long Ba Di.
Afterword:
While Liu Yifei looks a bit precocious in her teens, she still has the innocence of a little girl. She loves cartoons and Cherry Blossom. Because she has been living in the United States for the past few years, Liu Yifei doesn't have much experience with Haha Korea and Haha Japan, and her favorite actors are: Vivien Leigh and Audrey Hepburn. Ask her which director she likes, she is very frank: "I watch TV not much look at the credits, the director ...... I don't know much."
Let her choose a life lover among Xiao Feng, Void Bamboo, and Duan Yu, she was a little reserved: "Must I choose like this?...... Then I'd better choose Duan Yu, choose the one who loves me the most." Liu Yifei said she is a typical B-type blood, double personality - sometimes lively and sometimes introverted.
