Interview with Liu Yashe ｜ Partner Andy Lau, 33-year-old actress, why should she

1905 movie network feature In the new film released on New Year’s Day, Lin Zhenan, the crazy drug lord, fights fiercely in front of outsiders, but leaves all his tenderness and preference to Vivian.

The "Deser CP" formed by the two was also dubbed "Pure Love War God Combination" by netizens.

In an exclusive interview with the 1905 film network, Liu Yasse talked about his last collaboration with idol Andy Lau, which dates back to the 2015 film. At that time, she was just an inconspicuous supporting actor around Andy Lau.From supporting role to heroine, Liu Yasse’s transformation in the past 8 years is obvious to all.

Just after filming "Stealth", Liu Yasse ushered in one of the most important moments of his life – winning the Best Actress Award at the 40th Hong Kong Film Awards for her role in Wang Tao.

More than a year later, this trophy still had a heavy meaning for Liu Yasse, "It let me know that all the choices I made were right, and it also let me know that I can be seen for my role!"

Liu Yashe was interviewed by 1905 Movie Network

The trophy is a summary of the past and a new starting point for the future. "I will continue to work hard to meet better characters."

Talk about characters

"Vivian is like a grown-up Wang Tao"

Sixteen years later, Andy Lau once again turned his image upside down as the villain, the two-faced drug lord Lin Chun-an. Some audience members joked: "This is the worst and most ruthless character Lau has played in more than 200 roles".

Even such a murderous "demon" has its own "weakness", which is Vivian played by Yasse Liu. The relationship between the two can also be described as unconditional love and trust.

Liu Yasse recalled that when she received the script, what moved her the most was the sentence in the character biography "Except for lovers, they are all outsiders", which made her suddenly find a support point for shaping Vivian, the insecure drug lord’s wife.

This firmness and single-mindedness is also in line with her own view of love to a certain extent, "I think if love is to be single-minded, the only love is the most effective love. At the same time, love must be mutual. If the balance of love is very flat, if one party is tilted, it may be unstable."

In order to make the characters more three-dimensional and full, Liu Yasse did a lot of homework in advance, made up the background of the characters of Vivian and Lin Jinan and experienced various stories together, and internalized them into the details of the performance.

"At first glance, everyone will think that Vivian is a silly and sweet love brain, very well-behaved and gentle, but in fact, there are a few scenes and a few shots that can show that Vivian is not simple."

For example, Vivian has the habit of kneading paper balls when she is nervous, which is a special design by Liu Yasse. "Because the character has experienced pain and is emotionally ill, Lin Jinan will be very uneasy and anxious when he is not around."

Because of this, some fans say that Vivian is very similar to "Wang Tao" (Liu Yasse’s role in "Wisdom Teeth") who grew up in a parallel time and space.

Liu Yasse bluntly said that he had a similar feeling when he first got the script, "If the character Zhan Ge in’Wisdom Teeth ‘hadn’t died, they could have been completely connected. They have all been raped, and it is because of this that Vivian feels that Lin Zhenan who saved her is a ray of light in her dark life."

Talk about cooperation

The second match feels completely different

When it came to "Wisdom Teeth", one had to mention another lead actor. "Stealth" was also the second collaboration between the two. As the relationship in the play changed dramatically, the atmosphere outside the play became much more relaxed and happy.

"When I was filming’Wisdom Teeth ‘, when I saw Brother Jia Dong at the scene, I was always quiet, because I was afraid, I was really afraid." Liu Yasse said, "This time it’s much easier to see Brother Jia Dong. It’s a completely different feeling."

For Liu Yashe, Lin Jiadong has always been a teacher and a friend. In the process of the second collaboration, she will also ask Lin Jiadong for advice if she does not understand the role, which has benefited her a lot.

Not only Lin Jiadong, but also the "second match" with Andy Lau has a special meaning to Yasser Liu. From childhood to adulthood, Andy Lau has always been her idol. When she was a child, in order to compete with her cousin, who could see Andy Lau at first glance and smash his head, leaving scars.

But when she heard the news that "Brother Hua asked her to play his wife", Liu Yasue’s first reaction was nervousness. Later, the boss’s words made her put down the torn, "Do you know how many girls in China will envy you?"

"Yeah, I don’t want to regret it at that time, and I don’t want to be jealous of others!"

Liu Yasse still remembers that 8 years ago, when he first collaborated with Andy Lau in the movie "Lost Orphan", he only dared to hide behind his back and secretly observe and appreciate his idol. It was not until the day of the end that he mustered up the courage to take a photo with Andy Lau, "That was the first time in my life that I asked for a photo."

At that time, Yasser Liu did not expect that he would become the heroine of Andy Lau eight years later, nor did he expect Brother Hua to remember the red-haired girl in "Lost Orphan" after many years.

This respect and warmth from an idol is both pressure and motivation. "Brother Hua gives people a very kind feeling, which makes me put down my nervousness very quickly."

Talk about acting

"Continue to meet better characters"

Many people do not know that Liu Yasse starred in the film directed at the age of 17, and the film also won the Tokyo Film Festival Jury Special Award that year.

At that time, Yasser Liu was sitting in the audience and heard the audience applaud when the curtain ended. It was a wonderful experience, and it also made her feel the charm of the big screen and the value of being an actress for the first time.

On the road to acting in the future, she has played "Li Rexue" in succession, Qiqi in "The Legend of Qingqiu Fox", Su Xi in "Lucky is Me"Volunteer insmallmonth,"Mai Passerby"Single mother Liang Huiyan and other characters in…

In the process of trying, Liu Yasse also felt confused and wanted to give up. But fortunately, every time there is a role that pulls her back to the path of acting.

This time it’s Wang Tao in Wisdom Teeth.

In Liu Yasse’s opinion, he and Wang Tao had a lot in common, and they both had a stubborn "vitality" like a little stubborn who couldn’t be beaten to death.

In order to survive, Wang Tao struggled to survive in the cracks; at that time, Liu Yasse also drifted north for many years, struggling to find the opportunity to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.

This mutual achievement between actors and characters is so precious that it has finally turned into a heavy Academy Award for Best Actress trophy.

Liu Yasse, who stood on the podium, said: "The film has given me a beam of light. In the future, I hope to accompany the film to go further."

In the interview, recalling the highlight moment more than a year ago, Liu Yasse still expressed great significance to himself.

"It has achieved one of my goals. When I was a child, I said that I must get a queen!"

"It also let me know that all the choices I made were right. The lows I went through and the ridicule I received helped me, and it also let me know that others can see what I have done for my role."

But at the same time, Liu Yasse also knows that the trophy is largely due to the role of "Wang Tao", and that he still has a long way to go as an actor.

"I still need to work hard to meet better characters."

From singer, actor to variety show, Liu Yasse said that he does not want to set limits on his future self. "I hope that the road of life can be more experimentation and different experiences. People live for a lifetime, and they have to do more things in a limited time."

The identities may be diverse, but the dedication in her heart that goes all the way seems to have never changed, just like the words she once wrote:

"I really have stubbornly believed since I was a child that I can reach where I want to go through hard work.

Maybe it takes a little longer, maybe the road will be longer, but every step is closer, and every time is an opportunity. "
