"I’m not Zhang Ziyi second, I’m also eager to talk about a beautiful love…" Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Liu Yifei starring in the Hollywood blockbuster "King of Kung Fu" landed in Shencheng on April 24, and this newspaper ("Liaoshen Evening News"), as the only media in Liaoning, made an exclusive interview with female lead Liu Yifei in advance.
Zhang Ziyi is a senior and I have just started
Liaoshen Evening News: Signed with a Hollywood agency to cooperate with Hollywood directors. The outside world says that you will become Zhang Ziyi’s second. What do you think?
Liu Yifei: I don’t think I’m second to Zhang Ziyi. I appreciate everyone’s praise and trust in me. Zhang Ziyi is indeed a great female star in China, and my movie journey is just the beginning. I will carefully choose every movie that suits me.
Liaoshen Evening News: Your previous image was relatively pure. Do you plan to transform?
Liu Yifei: Everyone saw that in "King of Kung Fu", Jin Yanzi is a heroine. In fact, this character is half martial and half literary. She not only has a lot of difficulty in moving, but also has a lot of inner drama. It is better to say transformation than change. Of course, I will try different changes.
Jackie Chan moved me. Jet Li and I are both rabbits
Liaoshen Evening News: Which do you think is more attractive, Jackie Chan or Jet Li?
Liu Yifei: Jackie Chan and Jet Li are both very dedicated actors. Before working with them, I imagined that they should be very serious, but after working with them, I found that they are very kind. I remember one time when I was hanging Weiya, I wore the thinnest Weiya clothes, but after I put them on, they were still too big. Jackie Chan was very worried that I would fly out when I was hanging Weiya. Two weeks later, Jackie Chan gave me a Weiya clothes made according to my size. I was very touched at that time. For Li Lianjie, I feel adoration. The first day I saw him, I was going to shoot an important fight scene. I NG twice in a row. Li Lianjie was very anxious and came over to correct my movements very seriously like a martial arts instructor. I was so nervous. Later, I found out that Jet Li is a rabbit like me, and we often study the zodiac together.
Convincing my mother to play the golden swallow mother
Liaoshen Evening News: Your mother also made a cameo appearance in "King of Kung Fu". How do you evaluate your mother’s performance in the film?
Liu Yifei: Before filming started, I knew that Jin Yanzi had a mother in the film. The director wanted to ask my mother to perform, but she refused at that time. Later, I couldn’t find a suitable actor, and the movie was about to start filming. I still wanted to invite my mother out of the mountain, but my mother still didn’t agree. Later, I convinced my mother. In fact, the Queen Mother in the film had no lines, and she shot for a short time, so it was not easy to evaluate her acting skills.
Liaoshen Evening News: You have played many roles related to love. Do you long for a true relationship?
Liu Yifei: A good relationship is what girls of my age long for. It takes time to fall in love, but I am an actor now, and most of my time is filming, so I don’t have time to fall in love. I have never experienced the feeling of true love. In filming, I just try my best to experience the love of the characters, and I usually read some books and movies to experience it.
Liu Yifei: My film journey is just the beginning.
