The roles Gao Ye has played include the role of a nurse in "Love at the Hawthorn Tree", the rebellious sister of a police narcotics officer in "Border Wind and Cloud", and Chun Chi in "The Ritual of the 49th Day", to name a few.
1, 2010, "Love at the Hawthorn Tree", 19 years old
Gao Ye has been the "other people's child" since she was a little girl: she was born into a privileged family, with good looks, and a talent for literature and sports, and she says that when she was in the sixth grade, she was certain that she wanted to be an actress in the future.
In 2006, she was admitted to the Bejing Film Academy and became a classmate of Zhu Yilong and Peng Guanying. Gao Ye's debut was Zhang Yimou's "Love at the Hawthorn Tree," and she could be considered half of the "Mou Girl". But it's a pity that she only played a flickering role as a nurse in this movie, and she didn't even have a name.
However, as you can see from the stills at the time, although she looked young, she was very agile, and looked like a beautiful girl who stood out from the crowd, and even at first glance looked a bit like Dong Jie from the "Leng Qingqiu" era. But the temperament of that time and today's sister-in-law, but it is a world of difference.
2. 2012 "Border Winds and Clouds" 21 years old
The year after her debut, Gao Ye got the role of the second female in the movie "Border Winds and Clouds": the rebellious younger sister of a police narcotics inspector. Due to her average relationship with her brother, the character is young and willful, and leads herself into danger because of her curiosity.
The scene is not much, but it's also thrilling. During a scene with a killer played by leading man Yang Kun, her face needed to be wrapped in plastic wrap because of the plot, which almost led to asphyxiation. But since she was only a newcomer at the time, Gao Ye didn't see her name on the movie's poster and wasn't even invited to participate in the press conference.
In the end, it was leading man Sun Honglei who fought for her at the conference, directly questioning the organizers: "As a young actress, she put in her hard work, so why isn't her name there? She's one of our lead actors named Gao Ye."
While, in this movie, Gao Ye's scenes add up to 10 minutes or so before and after, and not much is played, the audience watching the movie will not be out of place at all, and the sense of atmosphere is strong.
3. 2014 "49 Days of Sacrifice", 23 years old
Perhaps because she had just started her career, or perhaps because of her unique temperament, Gao Ye met director Zhang Li at the age of 23, and was asked to play Chunchi, one of the "five hairpins", in the drama "49 Days of Sacrifice".
This is a seemingly uncontested but inwardly haughty woman of the world, and although she didn't have the gaudy look that one might expect from such a woman, she conveyed the "charming hairpin" Chunchi in pure Nanjing dialect and with a subtle performance.
Since then, it seems to have laid the foundation for Gao Ye's "Sister Lust" performance path, and after that, she played a lot of similar occupations in the image of women, but also because of the performance was too good by the audience scolded "immodest".
But in fact, Gao Ye once said that she had a deeper understanding of acting because of her role in "Spring Pond". Director Zhang Li once told her, "It's no fun to play a character that's the same as your own personality all day long."
4, 2015 "Rune of Life and Death" 24 years old
And in another anti-war drama "Rune of Life and Death", Gao Ye still portrayed the image of a woman of the wind. In the drama, she played Xiang Ju, who was in the land of fireworks, but still held on to the moral integrity of not receiving the Japanese army, which is also a very "strong" image of women. In one of the stills, you can see the storytelling in Gao Ye's eyes as an actress.
She was dressed in a red robe and blossomed in the midst of the battle, as if she were a defiant rose, which is similar to the beauty of today's "sister-in-law".
5, 2016 "Shao Shuai" 25 years old
and Zhang Li, director of the period drama "Shao Shuai", Gao Ye finally changed the persona. This time, she was the flamboyant and domineering general's daughter Zhang Shoufang, for which Gao Ye worked hard to gain weight until she ate herself into a tiger's back and waist in order to more closely resemble the image. Though only 25 years old, Zhang Shoufang gives off a fearless demeanor right out of the gate, and even her father, Zhang Zuolin, is afraid of her.
But on the other hand, the character is like a mother to her younger brother Zhang Xueliang. Gao Ye once claimed in an interview that Zhang Shoufang's character was very much like her own in life, which was also feisty and domineering.
6, 2017 "Lifting the Heart and Hanging on to the Guts" 26 years old
The 2017 release of "Lifting the Heart and Hanging on to the Guts" was Gao Ye's first starring role in a movie after her debut. In the movie, she once again breaks through and takes on the challenge of playing the voluptuous, sexy and uncommonly skilled northeastern sister, Ma Lilian. This is an image of a woman who has been polished by life, mature, seductive and alluring ......
But these elements are not only reflected through her body, but Gao Ye uses the mesmerizing display of her eyes like a hook to tug at the male lead Yang Million, and the hearts of the audience. What's more, Gao Ye, who was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, has managed to interpret the tough and coarse, but gentle and kind and charming northeastern women in the movie.
This is the self-cultivation of a good actor, and is the main reason why Gao Ye is now able to burst into the limelight with a single role. In the same year, she also played the main female character, Junsuqin Ziyan, who has a completely different temperament, in the TV series "Kyushu - Sea Shepherd's Tale". This image is strong, tough, and quite imposing in its styling, so that the audience simply could not imagine that this person has anything to do with Marilyn.
In order to play the role of speed Qin Ziyan better, she once spent two months to lose 20 pounds, but also completed professional training in martial arts and horsemanship.
7, 2018 "Twelve Hours of Chang'an" 27 years old
In another costume hit "Twelve Hours of Chang'an", Gao Ye returned to her "comfort zone" and played Li Xiangxiang, a woman from a greenhouse. In one scene, the audience must have remembered that when Zhang Xiaojing, played by Lei Jiayin, went to fetch the key from her, Li Xiangxiang, who was charming and enchanting, turned her head after her skirt was stepped on, and said, "You are looking down on me."
Behind this is the unspeakable reserve and deep feelings, will be a woman of the wind another side of the show to the fullest, charming but not vulgar.
Perhaps, this is the biggest reason why Gao Ye has played so many similar images, but each time she appears, she can show different qualities - each of them has a story, and this story is slowly told to you through her movements, words, and even her eyes, in the midst of immobility.
8, 2019 "Chinatown Detective" 29 years old
In the Netflix version of "Chinatown Detective", 29-year-old Gao Ye plays the "mandala-style" "dangerous girl" Dinan in the first unit, "Dance of the Mandala". In the first unit "Dance of the Mandala", 29-year-old Takaye played the "dangerous girl" Dinan in the "Mandala style". She attracted the public's attention as soon as she appeared on the scene: big waves, peach blossom eyes, leopard-print dresses ...... the whole of a typical "desire girl" image.
This role is very tense, both in terms of look and behavior are bold and passionate: Gao Ye in the drama will smoke, a little bit of drinking, everywhere exudes a Hong Kong-style woman flavor. In addition, in order to shoot this role, which does not have many scenes, Gao Ye has challenged the dangerous action shooting, such as crashing, falling into water, floating, falling down the stairs, etc., and finally accidentally off the line.
There were also netizens who were not satisfied with the killing of the character.
9, 2020 "I am Yu Huanshui" 28 years old
"Rampage" before "I am Yu Huanshui" in the villainous Liang Anne, may be the highest response to the role of Gao Ye. The character was a cool, strong and haughty persona, but a refined egoist who maneuvered between different leaders in order to sell out her sexuality for profit.
It is obviously an unappealing image, but under Gao Ye's interpretation, there is more room for reflection. In order to better reproduce the state of a strong woman, Gao Ye went to her best friend's company to observe the dressing style and way of doing things of female executives before the start of shooting.
In the process of interpretation, she did not only play the role of "bad", but also expressed the current situation of Chinese women in the workplace. That's why some viewers said, "Annie Liang is really bad, but there's no way you can really hate her."
10, 2021 "Ideal City", 30 years old
Perhaps because she has played too many sexy "scummy" women, Gao Ye once said that she wanted to play a "bitter" role: "The kind of role where you have a lot of bitterness in your heart. The feeling of swallowing a thousand times of bitterness in your heart." In 2021, she was challenged to play the role of Wu Hongmei, a rural girl whose appearance is far different from her own, in the TV drama "Ideal City" starring Sun Li.
But what made the audience applaud her was that she once again took it hard and brought this coy image to life.
