From the best male lead to "Citizen Mr. Liu", Liu Qingyun wants to play until she is 90 years old
1905 movie network feature In front of the screen, he is a powerful person who speaks with acting skills, and is the "Dinghai Shenzhen" in Hong Kong movies. Behind the scenes, he is "Mr. Liu, a grocery buyer," and his wife Guo Aiming is recognized as a model couple in the circle.Speaking of impressionsLiu QingyunMany viewers should give the above comments. Liu Qingyun, who mentioned the latest developments this year, won an award and has a new film.
Liu Qingyun first started with"Detective Wars"He won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor for the third time, and continued to break the record for the most nominations in the history of the Academy Awards with 17 nominations. In the summer of July, he starred in a movie"Anti-Drug 3: People in the End of the World"Playing the role of a drug lord for the first time.
"I don’t make movies and act to win awards. Whether I am an actor or not, I will continue to act." After three awards, Liu Qingyun is still working hard. He said that no matter how old he is, he hopes to improve.
"Anti-Drug 3"· Liu Qingyun:Looking back on the past ten years is sentimental
Liu Qingyun played less villain. Loyal appearance, temperament of the market, as soon as he appeared, the audience seemed to be able to see a reliable friend in their daily life.
The filmmakers of "Anti-Drug 3" asked Liu Qingyun to play a drug lord, and they were also worried that the audience might not accept Liu Qingyun as such a villain. "Many directors and film companies have an impression of me that Liu Qingyun is playing a decent and police officer, thinking that I can’t play a villain, but it’s not."
There are roughly three types of characters that Liu Qingyun often plays: the police in films such as "Tasteless Detective", "Stormtrooper Rage Street", "High Alert", "Dark War" and "Eavesdropping"; urban films such as "I Can’t Forget", "I Want to Be Famous", "Ghost Horse Rhapsody", and smart men in comedies; and psychopathic crazy characters such as "Detective", "Detective War" and "Crazy Talk".
In fact, Liu Qingyun is very good at playing the villain. The bald killer with unknown origins in "Dark Flower", the fierce and violent murderer in "Eyes Revealed", and the ruthless entrepreneur in "Eavesdropping 3" can all subvert the audience’s impression of him as an "honest man".
This time in "Anti-Drug 3", Liu Qingyun is facing a character who is completely opposite to the upright Ma Haotian in "Anti-Drug 1".He did not portray the drug lord Kang Sucha as bad on the surface, but as an "optimistic" villain.
According to his imagination of the characters, "Kang Sucha’s goal is very clear, that is, to make money and spend money, a person who has no hope for the future. He understands his destiny very well, and knows that there is no good outcome. He just understands it too well, so he is not afraid of anything."
After returning to "Anti-Drug" ten years later, Liu Qingyun lamented that he did not expect "Anti-Drug" to become a series of films, let alone that the first director, Chen Musheng, would die so soon.
Memories came to my mind. "I can’t help it, the director is gone. How can I say ten years? Some things have passed forever, and the movie is so strange. After ten, twenty, thirty, one hundred years of filming, it still exists in a thousand years.
In Liu Qingyun’s heart, the film has an immortal charm that will last forever, as well as those sentimental feelings that are different.
Best Actor Liu Qingyun:I’m still waiting for the show to kick in
After more than 40 years of debut, he has won three Academy Awards for Best Actor. Every time he wins, Liu Qingyun’s mood is different.The first time he won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor, he waited 14 years and experienced 7 nominations. It just so happens that "I Want to Be Famous" is also about the sad history of an actor who is an uncrowned king. "That feeling is particularly deep."
After the filming of "Detective Battle", Liu Qingyun did not think that he played very well, "Everyone said that" Detective Battle "played well. Every time I nominated, people told me that you have the best chance. So when I won the award, I felt a little strange."
Sometimes, he would think about winning the award in reverse, "Think about it, Liu Qingyun has nominated for Best Actor more than ten times, but he has never won it, that’s called handsome and amazing."
Wu Zhenyu, a close friend who has waited 23 years for his first Academy Award for Best Actor, held the trophy before this year’s awards, laughing at himself and passing the Best Actor six times.
Liu Qingyun thought that Wu Zhenyu should win the award, and he also cheered for Wu Zhenyu in this interview, "He is a very good actor, he really doesn’t have to worry, it will be soon."
In his acceptance speech this year, Liu Qingyun said, "Whether it’s applause or boos, I accept it, because it’s always like silence." Liu Qingyun’s personality is not to go with the flow and accept it, but to have a confident and unyielding side.
When he applied for the training class that year, he waited for three weeks without receiving the admission letter, "I’m not convinced, I don’t think I won’t fail the exam, and I feel uncomfortable if I can’t pass the exam." Later, he finally couldn’t help but call to inquire, only to learn that the admission letter had been sent long ago, and that day happened to be the last day of admission registration, so Liu Qingyun caught up.
Looking back on his days in the training class, Liu Qingyun said that he was not a particularly hard-working student. "He never thought about becoming a big star, he never thought about making movies, he never thought about making money, he just thought that the training class was very enjoyable and fun, and he didn’t mind being scolded by the teacher." He spent his youth at the age of 17 or 18 so happily.
At the same time, the training class has given Liu Qingyun a lot of help. He has entered the film and television industry through this, playing a role on the set, emerging with "New Brother Zha", starring in "Big Time", and then moving from TV dramas to movies. He has honed his acting skills through experience accumulation.
In 1997, "The Birth of a Prefix" initiated the stylization of Galaxy Image, and also initiated the decades-long cooperation between Liu Qingyun and Galaxy Image, which continues to this day.
Liu Qingyun is worthy of being one of the most trusted and valued actors in Galaxy Pictures, playing many important roles, and jointly creating masterpieces such as "Dark Flower", "Very Suddenly", "Dark War", "Goodbye Alang", "Detective" and "Death Gold", injecting alternative vitality into the Hong Kong film industry.
Wei Jiahui described Liu Qingyun’s acting as "bottomless". To Qifeng commented that "Liu Qingyun’s acting skills are extremely skilled, he has a lot of ability to control any dialogue, any action. Among Hong Kong actors, he is a representative after Chow Yun-fat."
Why is Liu Qingyun so good at acting? Throwing such a question directly to him, he will not talk, "I hope to be enlightened next year, I am still waiting."
"There are more than 50 students in the training class, and not many of them end up acting as actors. It’s not that they don’t work hard, it’s not that they don’t have talent, sometimes fate is so strange. We put fate aside because we can’t control it. What you can do is rely on your own efforts, and that’s the only way."
Mr. Liu said it was true that the training class had to rely on a bit of talent, and in the future it would have to rely on individual effort. As he said on the podium, "If everyone has a dream and is willing to work hard, and lives long enough, your dream will one day come true strangely and with a little regret. But it doesn’t matter, things can’t be as good as they want."
Mr. Liu, a shopper:If I’m not acting, I want to drive an ice cream truck
A few years ago, during the Spring Festival, a reporter from a Hong Kong TV station happened to encounter Liu Qingyun buying chickens for his wife in the vegetable market. He was interviewed as "Mr. Liu, a citizen". After the news video was broadcast, it was ridiculed by netizens. "Mr. Liu played the role of the citizen to the fullest."
The interview made Liu Qingyun’s cordial image even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Just like his name, he is the best actor who "rose to the top" and the "green cloud man" who lived a low-key life.
In Liu Qingyun, we can’t see the halo of the so-called star. Acting is like going to work, outside of the play, he is also an ordinary citizen who lives a life.
Liu Qingyun said that he usually likes to stay at home and does not like to go out to socialize. He enjoys the quiet atmosphere of resting at home.
Liu Qingyun and Gu Tianle were good friends and had cooperated the most times. He said that their friendship was maintained by going into the group to film, and they usually did not meet in private. "The problem is not with him, but with me.
If he hadn’t taken the TVB artist training class with a try-and-see mentality more than 40 years ago, perhaps Liu Qingyun would have been a mail carrier at that time. Liu Qingyun has a childlike innocence, and he longs for a simple and happy life. If there is no acting, he admits that the job he most wants to do is to drive an ice cream truck and sell ice cream everywhere.
He envisioned, "If you can drive an ice cream truck to the beach, to Dalian, to Xinjiang, everyone who comes to buy ice cream will be happy. He will also be happy to see a child give one away." He also knew, "This will never be done."
At the age of 25, Liu Qingyun thought about retiring at the age of 45, but later found that he still enjoyed acting. His wife, Guo Aiming, also supported him in continuing to act.
After going through the ups and downs of Hong Kong movies, none of them stopped Liu Qingyun’s progress. Just like Leung Chaowei, Andy Lau, Leung Ka Fai, he will continue to act, "Now acting is hoping to improve. No matter 50 years old, 60 years old, 70 years old, 90 years old, if you want to act, you will move forward and don’t stop."
