Li Yanqiu

essential information

Personal experience

When the name "Li Yanqiu" is mentioned, people will first think that she is a film and television actress: Shuimiao, a rural girl seeking self-worth in urban cattle herding; yingzi, a smart and courageous police officer in the last choice; Tang Yu, a rock singer with full personality in great destiny; Meitian Tian, a tender girl like water in Fengyu meijialou; Fang Tian, a girl with a long age span in old city wall Yu Hui; the artist of Pingju with ups and downs in Xiao Bai Yu Shuang All these characters with different personalities, different experiences and different ages are vividly interpreted by Li Yanqiu. Li Yanqiu has appeared in more than 50 films and TV series with more than 600 episodes since she was first "dragged" to the screen by the Xiaoxiang film studio's "blood oath" crew in 1989. It is also said that Li Yanqiu is a singer, because the theme songs of more than 20 TV dramas, such as "City cattle", "four seasons of sadness and happiness", "silver chamber", are all sung or created by her, and her first album is also in the process of intense preparation. Although she gave up her teaching position in Henan University in 1994 and decided to sign a contract with you Xiaogang's Zhongbei company to enter the performing arts circle, her learning experience in the Music Department of Henan University made Li Yanqiu always have special feelings for the interpretation and creation of popular songs. She said that she had to seize every possible opportunity to indulge in singing. As a matter of fact, as early as in the national young singers competition held by CCTV in 1994, Li Yanqiu won the "screen Award" for popular singing of the professional group. As a matter of fact, Li Yanqiu is still an outstanding drama actress. When she was in her teens, she was admitted to Nanyang opera school and starred in the dramas "the legend of the White Snake" and "five women's birthday"

After entering Henan University to specialize in opera, she starred in operas such as "white haired girl" and "leaf". Her drama TV "five blessings in front of the door" won the "five one project" Excellence Award in the national drama and TV drama competition because of her successful and bold attempt to sing local operas. Li Yanqiu revealed: not long ago, one of her teachers came to Beijing to invite her to perform in an opera, which made her very excited. If possible, she will stand on the stage that haunts her again and be infatuated with it again. What is less known is that as early as 1997, Li Yanqiu worked as a producer in the TV series "female criminal police captain" - not as a producer, but as a real producer. Her feeling is: "it's much more tiring than being an actor, but the final sense of achievement is much more than being an actor." Do you really want to be a "king of five habitats" in movie, TV, song, drama and system? Last night, Li Yanqiu, who was discussing the cooperation with the film producers, told reporters by telephone in Beijing: "it's not to deliberately challenge her own ability or potential. It's just that she really likes performance and likes everything closely related to performance. I have different goals at different stages, but all of them have only one goal, that is to create enjoyment for the audience with my efforts."

Character evaluation

Li Yanqiu: a Rong's "bamboo shoot spirit" is inspiring

During the National Day holiday, a Rong, the first TV play with a panoramic view of the story of Hakkas living in Shenzhen, is being broadcast on the public channel of Shenzhen TV at the rate of four episodes a day. This time, "made in Shenzhen" once again focused on the hot land of Shenzhen and Shenzhen people, which attracted the keen attention of the audience. The heroine a Rong's rough life and struggling course moved a large number of audiences, and the fighting spirit of "like bamboo shoots, no matter how big a rock is, you have to get out" has become a hot topic among many audiences.

A Rong is a true "made in Shenzhen". It is written by Shenzhen writers, invested by Shenzhen forces, and reflects the local Hakka customs and history of Shenzhen in a panoramic way. Through 40 years of time span, it has created the artistic image of a Rong, a "Chinese style a Xin". Yesterday, our reporter had an exclusive interview with Li Yanqiu, a powerful actor and actor of a Rong, to hear her tell the story behind a Rong.

When Hakka women learn to fry peanuts and brew tofu

Li Yanqiu is a powerful actor. She has performed well in many films and TV series, such as blood oath, national anthem, wind and rain plum house. Zhang Jinbiao, the director, saw her when she was shooting "fengfengmeijialou" in Hunan. He thought that she was very malleable and suitable for the role of a long age span. Later, when preparing to shoot a Rong, Zhang Jinbiao thought of Li Yanqiu.

In order to become a real Hakka woman, Li Yanqiu read a lot of Hakka cultural materials. Before filming, she came to Shenzhen to experience life. First she learned to fry peanuts and brew tofu in the workshop, and then she learned to shoulder the burden with the little girls in the village. Although she practiced Kung Fu when she was studying Chinese opera, several water carrying plays were still a big challenge for Li Yanqiu. "The water was very heavy, and the water was still full. Sometimes because of cooperation, she had to shoot more than ten water carrying plays. When she went back at night, her shoulders were red and swollen."

The shooting process of "a Rong" is as "difficult" as a Rong's experience, because it was shot at the hottest time in summer, and Li Yanqiu's scenes are very large. In order to catch up with the schedule, she hardly had a day off in three months' shooting time, except for one time of heat stroke and fainting. On the second day of the whole drama, Li Yanqiu's nervous tension suddenly broke down, and she fell ill. "But it's all worth it, because I'm playing a legendary Hakka woman." Li Yanqiu said.

Learn Hakka and sing theme songs

"I came from the sky. It was a mid month flower. The gale blew me to the seaside. At the end of the road is my home..." Careful audience will find that this beautiful theme song is also from Li Yanqiu's mouth.

Li Yanqiu has a great advantage as a Hakka girl who is good at singing and dancing. She graduated from the Music Department of Henan University and majored in national opera. Singing is her specialty. "Just listen to it once, and I'll be ready to start singing." Li Yanqiu said.

In spite of that, Li Yanqiu is not Hakka after all, and she is not familiar with Cantonese and Hakka. Although the whole play of a Rong is Mandarin dialogue, a large number of folk songs and nursery rhymes in it are Hakka dialect. Li Yanqiu told reporters: "I used to learn music. There was no big problem with my singing skills, but it was very difficult to sing in Hakka dialect." Therefore, her Hakka folk songs and lines are taught by the writer Liang fojin hand in hand. "Mr. Liang is very strict. He should sing until he is satisfied with the local Hakka people." Finally, Liang fojin commented that her theme songs in Hakka and Putonghua are "authentic".

"Bamboo shoot spirit" makes people learn to cherish life

After receiving the script of a Rong, Li Yanqiu cried for a long time. "At that time, I felt that ah Rong's experience was too bitter. In fact, every story was very ordinary and natural, but all of it happened to her. This kind of suffering is not what ordinary people can bear."

Li Yanqiu believes that the fighting spirit of "like a bamboo shoot, no matter how big the rock is, you have to get out" is the highlight of a Rong's role. "She embodies a lot of characteristics of Shenzhen women and embodies the traditional virtues of Chinese women, especially the toughness, kindness and simplicity of Hakka people, which are typical of her. So I hold on to this tenacity in my performance

In the play, the "bamboo shoot spirit" taught by her mother is the driving force for her to support the past when she encounters difficulties. Li Yanqiu believes that the "bamboo shoot spirit" is of educational significance and gives people upward power. "After watching the story of ah Rong, you will sigh that our life is so good now. This TV play makes people learn to cherish life."

Li Yanqiu said that although she is somewhat weak in appearance, she is also very independent and strong in her heart. She is somewhat similar to ah Rong, which also increases her self-confidence in playing this role. "Although I'm not as complicated as ah Rong's experience, her outlook on life and values are interlinked with me, especially her insistence that" no matter what difficulties you encounter, you have to grit your teeth to support it. "

From 18 to 58 is a "big test"

Ah Jung is known as "China's ah Shin". When talking about the similarities and differences between ah shin and the Japanese TV series ah shin, Li Yanqiu said that ah Shin was performed by several actors. Apart from having a little actor in his childhood, ah Jung had to perform from 18 to 58 years old. The 40 year span is a big test for him.

Li Yanqiu said that after filming ah Rong, she fell in love with the city of Shenzhen. As long as she went to Hong Kong and passed by Shenzhen, she would stay for a day or two. She even had plans to settle here. "It's mainly because I made a lot of good friends when I was filming. The shooting of a Rong made me realize the enthusiasm and friendliness of Shenzhen people."
