We have worked for 90 years but have no agent
Qin Yi has served as the chairman of the film and television company founded by Shanghai Film Association . It has been 30 years. "I have been working part-time until now, so I have to be the chairman of the board who is 'ignorant'. I don't know." Qin Yi said that she is currently preparing to make a new movie. Qin Yi lamented that it is too difficult to raise funds for filming movies now, and the first thing to do is to bear is the problem of "inflated" actors' pay. "Now, the money is the first place. A famous actor costs hundreds of thousands of yuan a day. This price is not set by the market. The price will rise after a play. The agent always says. We have been working for 90 years but have no agents. Everyone always feels that the trend is like this. If you don't, your value will be low. I said you don't use money to measure your value." Qin Yi said, "When you make a movie, you must always improve the appreciation and ideological level of the people."
" Jinling's Thirteen Flowers " "No Life"
Nowadays, Qin Yi has not paid much attention to domestic blockbusters in cinemas. "When we were kids, we remembered a good movie until now. People can't remember those films. Nowadays, many things are all randomly thought about, how to sell money and how to gimmick it. It's dangerous to continue like this." She mentioned that she had watched "The Flowers of War" directed by Zhang Yimou before, "I think he has no life. There was no prostitute who pulled his collar and walked towards the church in the Nanjing Massacre." Qin Yi recalled the horrible past in the Shanghai refugee camp at that time. "There are crowds and people suffer.My sister was a primary school teacher at the age of 14. She had to pass the Baiduqiao in old Shanghai every day. The Japanese were guarding it with wolf dogs. People were often scared and fell to their heads and bleeding. The Japanese laughed. My sister just pinched two stones in her hand, and was startled when she hit the dog once, so she quickly ran two steps. "And Zhang Yimou's films "make uncomfortable watching, neither sense of danger nor anger", "No life, no way to shoot, the movies should still be real." A short series of short films that I once watched in
impressed Qin Yi, and told reporters in detail the plot of his story. "It's very troublesome to shoot a big movie now. It costs hundreds of millions of dollars at any time, so why do you need so much money! There are many things that suddenly appear in micro-film movies. If you hold a micro-film festival, you can help big movies. "Qin Yi said that she had filmed a micro-film "The Taste of Happy Home" that reflects the current social situation last year.
The son once said that the mother's face is not easy to draw
For children, Qin Yi is a great mother who faces the hardships in life strongly. She and her son Jin Jie, born to the famous movie star Jin Yan , suffer from schizophrenia . She gave a lot of money to this and took care of him personally until his death in 2007. Jin Jie loved painting since he was a child, so Qin Yi invited a teacher to teach him how to draw. But at Qin Yi's home, the oil paintings hanging in the living room were taken In the movie " Dream Not Dream ", the prop portraits in the film seemed to have no trace of their son's works.
mentioned his son, and Qin Yi's eyes became soft. She said that most of the paintings of his son during his lifetime were auctioned for charity purposes. In a charity auction, international movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger bought "Hengshan Park Sketching" jointly completed by Qin Yi and his son for $25,000. The last gift left by his son to his mother, "I Love My Mom" was a portrait of Qin Yi, and he also donated it. "He rarely painted me because he felt that his mother was not easy to draw, and his mother's face had no characteristics. "Qin Yi said that she likes the "Birch Forest" drawn by her son the most.
"I also have a collection of some of them. Recently, I am about to take out his works and modify them. "When Jin Jie was learning painting, he sometimes found it difficult to concentrate and could not remember the key points the teacher said. Therefore, Qin Yi often followed him and taught her son after learning how to teach her, so she fell in love with painting. "They asked me to draw and do charity, and thought it would be easier to draw, so she painted in front of the mirror, but she didn't expect that she could sell for 50,000 yuan! "
two " Bingbing ", I can't make a difference
In the minds of movie fans, Qin Yi's natural beauty has been frozen. Even at the age of age, the "most beautiful woman in China" mentioned by Premier Zhou has always been dignified and elegant, and there are still many fashionable elements. What is amazing is that Qin Yi, who is in her 80s, still insists on putting on makeup herself. She is wearing makeup face to face with the reporter, full of energy. "I'm busy lately, I haven't had a good rest, so I've lost weight. But I can afford to lose weight, so I am fat. "
Faced with the popular plastic surgery fashion in the entertainment industry, Qin Yi's confusion makes people laugh. "I didn't have plastic surgery! Oh, now the melon-shaped face is popular, Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing, I always can’t make a fuss. I only figured it out when I filmed with Fan Bingbing last time. "Qin Yi talked about the fact that there was an "old partner" in the circle of friends who suddenly became younger and the skin on his face became tense. Everyone was surprised, "I didn't expect that after a few days, he saw him getting older again. It turned out that the injection was effective. I think plastic surgery is not suitable for me, otherwise people will laugh to death when they see you young and then get older. "When it comes to maintenance, Qin Yi was confused. In fact, she had no secrets and always forgot to eat health supplements.
Qin Yi smiled and said that walking and falling down caused the actor's "face used to eat" to suffer a lot. The tragic situation of falling on the asphalt road is still fresh in memory. "There is asphalt on her face mixed with blood, which is so scary. The skin under her eyes is not very good now. "But Qin Yi doesn't care about the disease. "I'm not in good health and have many diseases. But I don't care about it, and it doesn't develop either. I have to take it all day long and take medicine and get injections, and there is no time. ”
A child-like perfectionist
If you don’t need to speak louder, you will simply forget that you are chatting with an old man in his 90s.During the more than two hours of interview, the affection and family affection were revealed through Qin Yi's mouth, and she was straightforward and wise. She said her daughter did not live with her. "She lives with her daughter, and she is a man who is a man who lives with me. She has to take care of me." Qin Yi smiled. In fact, she can cook, but she usually has a nanny to take care of her daily life.
It is said that the elderly sometimes look straightforward like children. Qin Yi "complainted" to reporters that the CCTV shooting team had been working at her home for a day. She didn't understand a little, and these human cats were photographing her in the room where she was eating and reading for a long time. She feels that people who come and go at home all day make life "busy", otherwise she will have more time to draw and recuperate. Last time Yang Lan invited her to the show, the cameraman always took pictures of people with wide angles, making himself look like a "tar barrel". "Don't call me in the future interview. Her programs will be played abroad. I don't want to make a fool of myself." The old man's lifelong pursuit of beauty is truly a perfectionist.
Qin Yiting missed her 62-year-old TV series "Under the Eaves of Shanghai", the photographer helped her play the 36-year-old Yang Caiyu with her outstanding skills. " Women's Basketball No. 5 " is the second color film of photographer Huang Shaofen after "Lin Zexu". "The first film was not very good. He said that he must shoot Teacher Qin well in this film, and he really shot the temperament of the fisherman I played." When filming " Song of Youth ", "I am quite fat, I don't want to act. Lin Hong can't eat fat in prison, but the director said that the key is temperament, and I shot very well."
Surprise, when asked about my favorite role, Qin Yi's answer was the party secretary of the construction site in " Waves ". "I have never played the party secretary, which has a great challenge to me." She still remembers that Premier Zhou felt that "noisy" when he came to filming, and asked Qin Yi if he had any conflicts with the actors who acted opposite the scene.
