Her cuteness can stand scrutiny, and her charm is not easy to copy and copy. ——World-known screenwriter Shi Hang

Don’t play by the routine

Zhou Dongyu walks more and more beautifully.

This is what fans say about her recently. In the impression of fans, Zhou Dongyu's pace should be consistent with her personality, flamboyant and casual.

This transformation is the momentum left to Zhou Dongyu by the movie "Youth".

In the movie, Chen Nian is an introverted girl. Director Zeng Guoxiang repeatedly complained that she was "a bit too manly walking". Zhou Dongyu practiced over and over again how to make her demeanor more ladylike, so that after the filming, people can still see Chen Nian's shadow in her.

But what surprised people even more was that Zhou Dongyu, who was almost thirty years old, had no sense of incongruity when she played a high school student.

Squint your eyes and a slim figure. Zhou Dongyu is not beautiful in the traditional sense, but the girl is full of energy and has a clear understanding of herself Zhou Dongyu: "I think my face is polarized. Some people think it's good. You smile sweetly, while others just can't accept it. Why do you have a maid's face?"

is as confusing as her appearance, and her acting skills seem to always bring unexpected surprises.

Zhou Dongyu is free from it. "Uncertainty" is the biggest label on her. She can give you 10 different acting methods for a scene 10 times.

"Youth" is the second collaboration between Zhou Dongyu and director Zeng Guoxiang. The last " July and Ansheng " made her 24-year-old winner of the Golden Horse Film Award. Ansheng's rebellious and ostentatious screen image left a deep impression on the audience. Chen Kexin, the producer of the film

, loved the spirit of Zhou Dongyu. He said: "From "July and Ansheng", all her performances are not according to routines. Her performances and expressions in every shot are all things you didn't expect, no matter whether it is a laughing scene or a crying scene. So many times, the first thing I think of is Zhou Dongyu first, and I want to think about what she will do first. This is really like a blow to her."

can always give the characters more just agility. This is Zhou Dongyu's special ability and her personality.

Zhou Dongyu has been a very sensitive person since she was a child. At that time, she teamed up with her friends to do her homework. She found that her aunt didn't seem to like children making noises together, and she would suddenly stop talking. Everyone asked her why she stopped talking? She just said she didn't want to talk.

She said: "It's not good to be too sensitive, but it's also beneficial for being an actor."

's keen perception of the surrounding atmosphere allows Zhou Dongyu to accurately find the gap and fill in her own wonderful ideas for the character.

For example, in the movie " Like You ", when Zhou Dongyu asked the male god Takeshi Kaneshiro , "Am I sexy?", which moved the audience so much that they were about to be embarrassed and burst into laughter. This also became the most memorable laugh point in the whole movie. After all, Zhou Dongyu, who has a flat breast like an airport, has nothing to do with the word "sexy".

This line is Zhou Dongyu's sudden whim. Takeshi Kaneshiro, who was acting in the opposite scene, was stunned at the time and blurted out, "Ah? What?" instead, adding to the drama.

Takeshi Kaneshiro feels that playing with Zhou Dongyu is like looking for a treasure, and maybe a stroke of magic will come out at any time.

"I can accept that others say I am ugly, but I cannot accept that I have poor acting skills." Zhou Dongyu said half-jokingly.

Zhou Dongyu feels that in his life where he gives up halfway through everything he does, an actor is the only one he is slightly good at.

She remembered that Huang Bo told her a few years ago that he was very envious of you for being so natural now. In a few years, your natural energy may gradually disappear.

"But I still don't understand what he said." There is no place to reason with the talent God gave.

The first person to discover Zhou Dongyu's natural temperament was Zhang Yimou.

That was the first scene of Zhou Dongyu shooting his first scene in his life. She and Li Xuejian were walking on the mountain road in the village. Zhou Dongyu didn’t know anything, asked, are you walking?

Zhang Yimou said, yes, just walk, walk.

After that show, Zhang Yimou called her, Dongyu, come here, look how natural you are.

Mou Girl 's Self-return

When he was seventeen years old, Zhou Dongyu met Zhang Yimou for the first time and thought the other party was a liar.

Nanjing is cold and humid in winter. Zhou Dongyu, a girl from Shijiazhuang, stood in the long line of art exams, nervously thinking about how to perform for a while. The college entrance examination is about to come, and her academic performance is not satisfactory. Now she can only rely on the amateur expertise of dancing and try hard.

is looking for a role for Zhang Yimou's comeback work " Hawthorn Tree Love ". He noticed the childish little girl, so he walked over and asked, "Can you shoot a video for you?"

A few days later, Zhang Yimou informed her to go to Beijing for an audition. Zhou Dongyu went to Beijing with a traveling mentality. Unexpectedly, this journey changed the fate of this ordinary girl.

Zhang Yimou tried his best to disagree and selected Zhou Dongyu from 6,000 girls with ordinary appearance and not favored. Although Zhou Dongyu, who was asked to perform a crying scene on the day of the audition, never cried because she was too nervous, in the end, Zhang Yimou took her to Yichang.

Later, in an interview, Yang Lan asked Zhou Dongyu, how did you finally know that Director Zhang is not a liar?

Zhou Dongyu said humorously: "Because he let me act."

has no sculptural face and pure eyes as white as paper. Zhou Dongyu has made the pure Jingqiu , and has won multiple awards for this, and has stood at the highest starting point at the beginning.

However, while Jingqiu brought Zhou Dongyu honor, she also labeled her.

After "Love of Hawthorn Tree", Zhou Dongyu played the optimistic and strong anti-cancer girl in ": Tears of the City ", the kind and simple palace maid Chen Xiang in "Palace Lock and Bead Curtain", and the quiet and delicate girl next door in ": You, the Deskmate ", etc. The image of a pure and good girl in line with the same lineage did not leave much impression on the audience.

Zhou Dongyu seems to have been stereotyped, and some people even commented that she "can only play one role in her life". People gloatingly watched this scene of opening high and closing low, calling her "the worst girl".

Zhou Dongyu at the center of the Public Opinion Storm was not greatly affected. These characters did not make her feel artistic passion. For her, she was just completing the task.

Until the appearance of the role of Zhou Lijuan, the Shamatt girl in "The Road to Flowers", Zhou Dongyu saw a different spark: "I don't know why, but I have to act in the intuition."

She immediately recommended herself to director Ning Hao, but was directly rejected, "I was sad for 4 hours." When the test call suddenly came, Zhou Dongyu was so happy that she didn't have time to tell her agent, so she drove over by herself.

As soon as she arrived on the set, the director asked her to curse people in dialect. She cursed a few times in Hebei dialect, which was a bit awkward and felt that she might not be able to do it.

After waiting for two days, the director reluctantly told her, "Or you can just act."

Ning Hao thought she was too white, so he asked the makeup artist to find the darkest foundation to apply on her face, borrowed clothes and wig covers from the locals for her to bring them with him, and the request for her was to go to the village, the better.

▲ Zhou Dongyu plays Zhou Lijuan in "The Road to Flowers"

No one thinks that "good girl" Zhou Dongyu can play this role in a flower, but Zhou Dongyu does find resonance in Zhou Lijuan. They all live in their own world of fantasy, innocent but also crazy.

That day she temporarily added a scene of taking off her clothes, which later became a classic shot of the film.

"The Road to Flowers" is a turning point for Zhou Dongyu, and she began to look for herself in front of the camera.

When Zeng Guoxiang cast the role of "July and Ansheng", he was originally planning to let Zhou Dongyu play the role of obedient July, and let the rebellious Ma Sichun in "Left Ear" play the role of Ansheng who smokes, drinks, and fights.

However, the first meeting with Zhou Dongyu changed Zeng Guoxiang's thoughts. Zhou Dongyu's first words to Zeng Guoxiang were: "The director is very handsome."

Zeng Guoxiang said thank you, but Zhou Dongyu added again: "But I mean only in the director's scope."

Zeng Guoxiang suddenly felt that this girl who didn't speak too much was more suitable for playing An Sheng.

Sure enough, Zhou Dongyu perfectly interprets this brave and rebellious girl but inferior in her bones. This drama made Zhou Dongyu enjoy her full enjoyment: "It's like a new life, giving you a chance to experience another way of life."

Her idol Hao Lei After watching it, she commented on her: "The little girl finally knows how to act."

In the movie, An Sheng and July, who intensified conflicts, poured cold water on each other's body in an old bathroom. An Sheng was the first to defeat and cried with his head. Screenwriter Shi Hang favored Zhou Dongyu in this scene: "Her fragility is a little bit like a puppy. She doesn't know her beauty, but she knows the warmth and coldness of the world early on."

In the eyes of all, "Mou Girl" Zhou Dongyu tries to find herself and continue to grow.

Although he played one lively and weird role after another, Zhou Dongyu did not think that she was trying to subvert the impression that Jingqiu brought to everyone. She said: "Actor breakthrough is put second, and the first should be put on the story. There are not many scripts that will be told carefully, so it is not easy to complete it."

is no longer arranged

In the winter of 2017, when the crew of "Later Us" was stationed in a basement on the West Fifth Ring Road in Beijing, it was where the heroes and heroines Lin Jianqing and Fang Xiaoxiao first took root in Beijing with love and dreams.

However, love and dreams cannot compete with the cruel reality and the trivialities of food and food. After repeated disappointments, Xiaoxiao chose to leave. The fate is so good that the two met again on a plane delayed by heavy snow ten years later.

The scene where Lin Jianqing and Fang Xiaoxiao met again, Zhou Dongyu felt that she would not cry and would calm down. But Rene Liu said, "You are not Fang Xiaoxiao, Fang Xiaoxiao is going to cry there."

Finally in the movie, Fang Xiaoxiao presented by Zhou Dongyu has red eyes and a sad face, without a single tear, but sheds even more charming.

Just like Fang Xiaoxiao, Zhou Dongyu no longer waits to be arranged. She also has her own little stubbornness and her own independent thinking under her big appearance. After all, her life has always been arranged.

In Zhou Dongyu's growth, the strong mother always played the role of the dominant. Her father died early, and her mother was eager to see her daughter become a phoenix. She enrolled her in various cram schools and special classes, and clocked the clock every day, "When is the time you get out of school, why do you come back tonight?"

After going to middle school, my mother was afraid that her daughter would catch a cold, so she always put several layers of autumn pants on her, so Zhou Dongyu got the nickname "Female in the autumn pants".

▲ Zhou Dongyu was a child

This kind of life put a lot of pressure on Zhou Dongyu and had a deep prejudice against her mother. When she first entered the industry, someone asked her to talk about the happy time between her and her mother, but Zhou Dongyu said: "I only remember that I have never worn a beautiful dress."

"I was particularly annoyed by my mother during adolescence. We often had conflicts. At that time, I thought, when I can make money in the future, I will never pay attention to you."

But now I make more and more money, and escaped from my mother's control, Zhou Dongyu is becoming more and more home-loving. She once saw this sentence on the Internet, "How many times do you go home a year? How many times can you meet your parents in your life?" This made her feel uncomfortable for a long time.

Zhou Dongyu ran home whenever she had time. She felt that she was not comfortable at home anywhere, although her mother often called her "little bastard".

Now Zhou Dongyu makes money to support her family, and she has begun to become the one who arranges her family. One day, the unspeakable mother helped to organize the room and suddenly said to her, "You miss you very much if you haven't seen each other for a few days. Maybe you're old."

Just before she was about to cry, Zhou Dongyu quickly pushed her mother out.

"Sincerity is the most important"

"No one in our family makes movies. I think it is very glorious, really." On the day when he won the Golden Horse Best Actress Award, 24-year-old Zhou Dongyu stood on the podium, incoherent.

Zhou Dongyu is never afraid of the camera, but she is afraid of big scenes. Speaking on stage has always made her at a loss.

▲ Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun were at the Golden Horse Awards site

When she debuted ten years ago, she kept trembling all over her body in the face of the reporter, and she didn't even dare to look directly into each other's eyes.

So she went to her to ask Zhang Yimou how to prepare. Zhang Yimou said there is no need to prepare, sincerity is the most important thing.

Since then, Zhou Dongyu has known that routines cannot compare to sincerity, and the most direct ideas are also the most touching. However, the most touching sincerity also caused her the most trouble.

once called Sun Honglei a famous name on variety shows, despising Wang Xun's clothes were dirty and he didn't want to change them with him. For a long time, Zhou Dongyu's words and unspoken personality made her the target of public criticism. Comments about "Zhou Dongyu's low emotional intelligence" can be seen everywhere.

agent found her and said, "Don't treat yourself as a child. You are no longer a child. No one should be nice to you. You should think more about others." Zhou Dongyu suddenly realized and began to pay attention to wording when speaking.

But Zhou Dongyu did not package herself because of this. The fake ones cannot be real, the real ones cannot be fake. "I think everyone is eating very well now and they are very smart. Who can be much smarter than who? It's so disgusting to be exposed at first glance."

Fortunately, as the times become more and more eager for reality, Zhou Dongyu's sincerity becomes more and more precious and pleasing.

When promoting "Later Us", he was asked "what is the trust that he works with Rene Liu, who was the director for the first time?" Zhou Dongyu's answer was: "She looks pretty, so I took it."

The identity of a star did not bother Zhou Dongyu, but instead made her love life more.

One summer, Ma Sichun went to find Zhou Dongyu to play. Zhou Dongyu took her to ride a shared bicycle, and around Sanlitun and the embassy area, without even bringing a mask. She often took her grandma to Beijing and rented a wheelchair to push her for a walk. Once she didn't push it well, the car fell down, and her grandma actually jumped off by herself. Zhou Dongyu often mentioned this to others, and she laughed so hard that she fell back and forth.

While filming in Hengdian , she found a particularly delicious Sichuan hot pot restaurant. She went to eat every day and got acne. Before leaving, she also bought hot pot base with her boss and took it to Inner Mongolia for filming. She bought a pot online and used the local beef and mutton to simmer. The actress who went with her was losing weight and eating, looking at her droolingly.

Zhou Dongyu, who ate hot pot, inexplicably achieved the effect of losing weight at the end of the period because she had diarrhea the next day.

But recently Zhou Dongyu found that she had begun to gain weight and was very upset about losing the right to get close to food. "I used to be fat without eating anything, but now I am older and absorbed, and I have also started to eat."

Zhou Dongyu likes to share the little beauty of simple life with others. In an era when idols are becoming more and more flat, she is three-dimensional. Like all young girls, she likes to be imaginative, has strange ideas, loves a better life, and is also greedy for the desire to be a little bit.

Her expectations for the future are simple and comfortable, like the peaceful years that most girls expect, "Go to Europe to buy a farm, be the farmer's wife, wear skirts every day, and keep two animals for each animal, so they are not alone."

Whether

can make a difference in the film industry is not important for Zhou Dongyu. It can grow brilliantly in the sunny weather. This is the best era.
