"Meng Hua Lu" is a hit, and Liu Yan's role as Sun Sanniang is eye-catching. In the past, Liu Yan has participated in more than 80 works, almost all of which were "sexy". She laughed at the audience's impression of her as a "butcher girl who wears swimsuits on the streets." Now, s

" Meng Hua Lu " is a hit, and Liu Yan's Sun Sanniang is eye-catching.

In the past, Liu Yan has participated in more than 80 works, almost all of which were "sexy". She laughed at the audience's impression of her as "a butcher girl who wears swimsuits on the streets."

Now, she plays a simple working woman in "Meng Hua Lu". In order to play the role of "Huo", she went to a pasta master to learn kneading, carving and coloring.

Sun Sanniang’s tenacity, bravery and hard work were perfectly interpreted by her.

The "sexy" label disappeared, and netizens said: "Liu Yan, who covers her breasts, seems to have become another person."

She wrote in her "letter" to Sun Sanniang: "Others will always make assumptions and judge at will, or Show kind sympathy to us, but we don't need to pity, and never bow to other people's opinions. "

Nowadays, "sexy" is no longer Liu Yan's most eye-catching label, but Liu Yan, who downplays his sexy qualities, does not disappoint. Even more attractive.

What kind of growth did she go through to complete such a big transformation?

She tried hard to be gregarious, but was labeled "sexy"

After her father passed away, Liu Yan gave up a key high school and chose to study in a technical secondary school, so that she could earn money to support her family as soon as she graduated.

Perhaps it was this understanding that made Liu Yan value sacrifice and also be troubled by it.

’s mother was diagnosed with cancer. She was afraid of dragging down her boyfriend who was already talking about marriage. Even though her boyfriend was willing to work together, she still chose to break up.

It seems that there is a transparent thread that controls Liu Yan to stay away from the life he longs for.

In order to treat her mother's illness, Liu Yan participated in the talent show and signed a contract to become a host. Looking at the beauties around her, she sighed: "I have no life for beauties."

But deep down in his heart, Liu Yan loves beauty. Her mother's illness made her worry that she would get cancer in the future and have her body organs removed.

She longs to leave her body looking its most beautiful. At this time, the company arranged a "Beauty Live" program for Liu Yan, requiring her to wear short skirts and shorts and dance in a flirtatious manner.

Liu Yan was very conflicted in her heart. On the one hand, she felt ashamed for posing, but on the other hand, she also expected her beauty to be seen.

After much hesitation, she finally accepted the "sexy" label created for her by the company.

From then on, Liu Yan became a "sexy girl". As the outfits became more and more revealing, the initial positivity gradually turned into discomfort.

Liu Yan feels that she is trapped by the word "sexy". Obviously this is just a certain side of her, but everyone thinks that she is only "sexy" as a whole.

In a certain interview, the host asked: What is the biggest prejudice you have ever suffered?

Liu Yan smiled bitterly and said: Everyone always thinks that I am walking on the street in a swimsuit.

After showing "sexy" for a long time, Liu Yan realized that he was too surrendered to the word "sexy". Everyone, including herself, has forgotten that the real Liu Yan is not just "sexy".

In the movies she has participated in, whether it is "Painting on the Wall", " Making a Trouble in Tianzhu " or " Qi Men Dun Jia ", her sexy outfits are a powerful tool for promoting the movies. Even if it is just a few seconds of nudity, it will be cut out to promote publicity and attract the audience.

She felt uncomfortable with this and was tired of all the "sexy" characters. But apart from these roles, she didn't know what to play.

has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and the label of "sexy" has been deeply attached to Liu Yan, making her more and more confused and losing her complete self.

She peeled off the label and eventually returned to the multi-faceted label

, mostly the most unique side of us captured by the outside world.

But many times, the outside world will be used to "printing" this side and sticking it on our face, as if this side is a person's entire self.

It's like putting a price on a vase, no one will care: in addition to being a vase, a vase can also be an exquisite ornament.

Having been imprisoned by the "sexy" label for a long time, Liu Yan is eager to live out her true self. To this end, she began to tear off the labels on herself and show more aspects of herself.

In the movie "The Ferryman ", Liu Yan plays an urban white-collar worker. She is looking forward to not being "sexy" this time and showing her acting skills seriously.

During the fitting, she chose a white shirt and A-line skirt, a classic and formal white-collar outfit. But the director team gave her another set of clothes: a sexy golden tight skirt.

The camera has given her a big "sexy" label. Even if she wants to break through, there is no way to hide from the camera.

This path didn't work, so Liu Yan settled for the next best thing and kept trying new roles.

The funny nurse in the sketch " The big names are coming ", the well-received Yanzi in the movie " Passing by Your World", the cousin-in-law who was shortlisted for the Magnolia Award in the TV series "Young Marshal"...

These are related to " For roles that have little to do with "sexiness", Liu Yan is trying his best to interpret them well.

However, the audience did not buy it.

Liu Yan said: Her performance was wonderful, and the audience praised her for "acting in her true colors"; her performance was average, and the audience commented that she was "only sexy."

In the movie " Pancake Man ", Liu Yan laughed at himself: "The audience said, Liu Yan only uses her breasts to get in position."

In order to act well, Liu Yan keeps studying, taking exams, and training, but no matter how hard she works to improve her acting skills, the audience can only see her sexy skin.

Tear off the label twice, but it was not successful. At this time, Liu Yan was involved in another incident:

At a friend's wedding, Liu Yan, who was dressed sexyly, was teased by a group of groomsmen to throw him into the water, which triggered a frenzy of public opinion.

Angry netizens denounced the embarrassing groomsmen. The matter became more and more serious, but these groomsmen pretended to be deaf and dumb.

In the end, Liu Yan, the victim, apologized and settled the matter.

Perhaps after experiencing layers of disappointment in reality, Liu Yan fell into silence.

On the Internet, her press releases are becoming less and less. The once "sexy girl" suddenly disappeared from the audience.

Until 2020, there was a ground-breaking news:

Liu Yan was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for his role as Yue Miaomiao in " The Beneficiary ".

There is a scene in the movie: Liu Yan is taking off his makeup in front of the camera while confiding the pain of making a living. The bare face that revealed her true age gave the audience a glimpse of another side of Liu Yan.

also made people discover: It turns out that Liu Yan is not only sexy, she can also face wrinkles and dark circles and show her sincerity to the camera.

Now in "Menghualu", Sun Sanniang, played by Liu Yan, is a "female man": simple and straightforward, full of motherly love. In order to play this role well, Liu Yan specially observed his friends who have children around him, and learned from them the hard work and strength of working people, and their inseparable tenderness for their children.

She relied on her instinctive observation of life to "live" Sun Sanniang.

At this time, people really began to know Liu Yan. Some people say: When watching "Menghua Lu", I often forget that Sanniang is played by Liu Yan, and always feel that she is another not-so-sexy person.

In fact, she is sexy, and she is not sexy either.

She gradually shows different aspects of herself, allowing the audience to see an increasingly complete version of herself.

Those parts that originally belonged to oneself are re-accepted and seen; those parts that wander outside the body are also re-integrated into the whole.

html When she was 137 years old, Liu Yan participated in " The Birth of an Actor". She was not as "sexy" as before, nor did she deliberately avoid her figure. Instead, she was herself calmly. In order to play the role well, she cried in rehearsals. .

Although Zhang Ziyi commented on many shortcomings, she was very calm: "Now every day is a low point, but I am not anxious anymore."

She gave herself more time, put down her obsession with labels, and turned to digging Explore different sides of yourself and slowly explore all of yourself.

Love multi-facetedness and be a complete self

Each of us has many facets, and labels are the side that is most easily seen.

But why do people always love to compete with labels and want to prove that they are not so?

Because, between the outside world and themselves, people always care more about the outside world's opinions, which stems from a deep-rooted inferiority and uneasiness:

"Am I popular?";

"Do they really like me?";

"They must I only like my appearance";

"Is the real me worth liking?"...

The more a person denies himself inwardly, the more he refuses to see his complete self. Especially those aspects that are easy to be denied are even more avoidable.

We are disgusted with "the side that also belongs to our true self" hidden in labels, but in fact, when we say "be yourself", this side will inevitably be shown.

To truly be yourself means to completely summarize every aspect of yourself inward, and only then can you be completely yourself.

So, how do we be our complete selves?

First, feel the "true self" in the tag.

Everyone is scrutinized by the outside world. Through this scrutiny, the outside world is confirming us, and we are also confirming "who I am."

"Label" is a certain side of us that is seen by the outside world.

There is an old saying in psychological counselor : Anything that can be remembered is valuable. Whether you like the label on yourself or not, it belongs to you, and by seeing it, you can see a certain aspect of yourself.

Then, let the orientation happen naturally.

If you don’t like the label on your body, don’t rush to tear it off, shift the focus to the inside, and explore inward: In addition to this label, I have more sides.

can use meditation, mindfulness and other techniques to pay attention to the inner positive flow and explore various possibilities of oneself;

can also tell myself: Labels have given me an opportunity to integrate the aspects of myself that are not yet clear and to understand clearly. Expressing more and more aspects of yourself.

Finally, reinvent yourself completely.

Whether it is good or not is up to you. By accepting the bad parts, presenting the good parts, and developing a broader tolerance for ourselves, we can naturally switch between different aspects.

is not obsessed with a certain point, but sees his own multi-faceted nature; let the big labels in the past become a small part of himself, and then use himself to wrap it and accommodate it.

The complete self will appear in front of you more clearly.

When life no longer has only one possibility, but can live in multiple aspects, the calmness and self-consistency in your life will naturally happen.
