Special feature of 1905 film network Last year, a film made countless people remember the beautiful and tenacious Dr. Rachel and got to know the actor Celina Jade behind her.
Jason Wu asked Celina Jade to be the heroine, and she found the treasure herself.Because she is unpretentious, willing to endure hardships, and filming without an assistant, she is a clean stream among actresses.
In Mahua FunAge’s new film released on National Day, Celina Jade made his comedy debut. In the film, the elegant and charming "true aunt" is somewhat similar to Celina Jade herself.
Talking to Celina Jade will convince you that everyone has his own energy field, becauseYou will unconsciously be infected by this clean and smiling girl opposite you, and you will be injected with a positive growth energy invisibly.
The noise of the entertainment circle seems to be unable to lift a trace of waves in her heart. She said with emotion: "This circle is like an illusion to me. The actor is just one of my roles. I need something outside the circle to’ settle down’."
Comedy first experience
I didn’t expect it to be more dangerous than Wolf Warriors 2.
Aunt Li Cha is Celina Jade’s first big-screen work after Wolf Warriors 2. From action movies to Mahua FunAge, it is a huge leap for outsiders.
Celina Jade himself laughed and said that he was careless and naturally implied the gene of comedy. "My agent said that I was a girl who didn’t mind making a fool of herself, and my personality was careless, so they said that you should try it."
Sure enough, this bold attempt did not make Celina Jade regret it. Recalling the set in Mahua FunAge, she always has endless words, "The atmosphere of cooperation with Mahua FunAge is particularly good. After filming a scene, everyone will applaud.It feels right when you play, and you will feel that all the people in the crew are holding back their laughter, and they have been enduring it. That feeling is particularly good."
Celina Jade, the "real aunt", was most impressed by her opposite play with "fake aunt" Huang Cailun.She boasts that she is a girl who dares anything, while Huang Cailun is a boy who dares nothing.Fancy flirting with Huang Cailun on the set has also become her source of happiness.
"The most impressive’ drag racing’ scene was put in the trailer tidbits. The director told me that we must start quickly. As soon as I entered, I stepped on the sports car to the end, and then Lun kept screaming next to me because it was a broken bridge. In fact, the director had already called’ card’, but I just wanted to play with Lun.I said, did the director say card? Did he really say it? I couldn’t hear him, and he said, card, card! I said why I couldn’t hear him, so he said, card, card! It’s very funny. I’m sorry I didn’t put a go pro in front of the car to see his expression. He ended up sweating all over and his shirt was soaked. It’s so funny."
Although the studio is full of joy, Celina Jade still thinks, "Comedy is too difficult to act, much more difficult than action movies. It is particularly difficult to grasp the rhythm."Fortunately, the director has been pointing her out, and the role of a real aunt doesn’t have to be funny on purpose."He joked to laugh in the story.It won’t be funny if you make fun on purpose. Show her true character. "
Comedy is not only difficult to grasp the rhythm, but also the difficulty coefficient of a diving scene exceeds that of Wolf Warriors 2.
"Because I hadn’t learned to dive at that time, they originally wanted me to wear an oxygen bottle without glasses, and then the water entered my eyes and nose, which was particularly painful. I really couldn’t hold on. I just said that I was breathing on the water myself and then I held my breath and took pictures. Because I wanted to float in the middle of the water, they took two ropes and tied my feet under the water, which was very dangerous." Celina Jade is still a little concerned about it now. "That’s really more dangerous than filming Wolf Warriors. I didn’t expect that filming a comedy would be more dangerous than filming Wolf Warriors."
It seems natural for such a painful but happy "comedy first experience" to take "Li Cha" as a stepping stone, continue to strike while the iron is hot, and open up its own comedy market, but Celina Jade’s answer was greatly unexpected.
"Look again, because the last thing I want is for the audience to think that this is Jing Shan after seeing one of my roles.The more you think I am like this, the more I want to change this impression and show you another me. This is the fun of being an actor."
Celina Jade revealed that the work she is most looking forward to next is working with Jiang Wu and Zhang Hanyu, and the role of Shirley Yang makes her very excited. "I haven’t played for a long time. I want to do it."
Memories of Wolf Warriors 2
5.6 billion is just a number, I am still me.
Most mainland audiences got to know Celina Jade through last year’s phenomenal film Wolf Warriors 2. She plays a female doctor with tenderness and strength in the film, which is very similar to herself.
At first, the heroine of Wolf Warriors 2 was not Celina Jade, and the original No.1 girl broke up in discord because of the issue of film pay, so Jason Wu remembered the girl who had worked in China.
After nine months of filming in Africa, Jason Wu was very glad of his original choice. "She didn’t bring an assistant or put on airs, so she really found a treasure."
"Without an assistant" is a habit that Celina Jade has developed for many years, which is normal in her view. "As an actor, you should always keep in touch with others, otherwise how can you play a good role? And I can handle it myself and like to do it myself. "
Even though the popularity of Wolf Warriors 2 has greatly improved, Celina Jade still enjoys this freedom of going her own way. "The day before yesterday, I was flying alone, and a girl saw me and asked,’ Are you Celina Jade?’ I said,’ I’m Celina Jade’, and then she said, how can you be alone?I said how nice and free I am to be alone!"
The standard "female star" surrounded by security guards and assistants is too far away from her, which she can’t and doesn’t need to adapt to all the time. "I can’t trap myself in a house, because I’m worried that this won’t go out, that won’t go out, or what others think. I still have to live, and life is too short."
After a lapse of one year, recalling Wolf Warriors 2, which made her "popular overnight", what stayed in her memory was not the roller coaster-like fame experience or the unreality of the 5.6 billion box office, but the simplest nature and people on the African prairie.
“What I especially miss about "Wolf Warriors 2" is the feeling of filming in nature. Every day, I can see a big grassland. The villagers nearby are wrinkled with sun, but they smile brightly.
Every day, the sunrise and sunset are also very beautiful and spectacular, and then I can film with my good friends. Now I think of these wonderful memories. "
As for the astronomical figure of 5.6 billion and the title of "the first heroine in Chinese single box office", Celina Jade seems reluctant to mention more. "Don’t care about these data, I value the work more, I am still me."
Life is too short.
"The entertainment circle is like an illusion. I want to settle myself down."
Celina Jade was born in Hongkong, China. His mother is from China and his father is from America. He is both a kung fu actor and an associate professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Her cheerful and optimistic personality can not be separated from her parents’ good education since childhood.
In the previous interview, Celina Jade once laughed and said that it was a true portrayal of her growing experience with her sister. My father with a "Kung Fu dream" raised them as boys from an early age, practiced kung fu and played Taekwondo, which also created their independent and tenacious character.
Celina Jade once wrote in the Weibo: "I studied martial arts with my father since I was a child, and later I fell in love with yoga, boxing and surfing … … Sports have always been an indispensable part of my life.My figure may not be slender enough, but every muscle line is super energy given to me by exercise."
At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, a group of red carpet photos of Celina Jade were once denounced by many marketing numbers as "thick legs" and "poor proportion". At the subsequent Eastern European Women’s Forum, she generously responded positively: "My legs are thick, but if you rob me, you must be dead. Because I can play OK?
In our circle, we have to make ourselves look white every day, with long legs and good skin. Now those 13-and 14-year-old girls, like me before, are unhappy and feel that they are not perfect. In fact, we are responsible. "
When studying in Hong Kong in his early years, Celina Jade was pushed out by his classmates because of his mixed-race appearance, and even called "the ugly duckling". At that time, she was once very inferior to her appearance.It is the mother who teaches her that the value of girls is not in appearance, but in inner cultivation.
Because of this, she gave up her music career when she was a teenager, and chose to finish her university studies first and enter the London School of Economics and Political Science to study for a degree in management.
"Mom said, you have a degree, and everything is OK. I don’t have to worry too much about survival now. Even if I don’t become an actor, I can support myself.I have kept my dignity and can pursue what I love, without asking others, doing things against my will or crossing my bottom line."
In the interview, Celina Jade shared with Xiao Dianjun the episode she met at the airport the day before, which also reflected her values from the side. "I saw an advertisement at the airport yesterday that made me special … It’s not disgusting, it means’ if you have no money, you can’t find a girlfriend, so you can borrow money’, and then I thought, what is this value? Can’t there be love without money?"
Last year, the death of her mother brought a great shock to Celina Jade and made her realize for the first time.Life is but a span."The meaning of four words," mom left at the age of 60, and if I left at the age of 60, there was not much time left. I don’t want to leave any regrets when I leave. "
In the interview, Celina Jade has repeatedly expressed feelings that seem not to belong to her age — — “Life is too short!",so take the time to break through fear and enjoy life.
In her view, an actor is not the whole of her life, but just one of several roles in life.Besides acting, she loves singing, sports and adventure, and her life has too many dimensions and possibilities.
Celina Jade said that the entertainment circle is like a kind of ".hallucination”，“One person is on fire today, and another person is on fire tomorrow. It has been changing and there is no fixed number."She needs the outside world to make herself."surely"Come down.
For example, before the intensive publicity period of Li Cha, she did meditation and volunteer work for three weeks. "In the process of helping others, volunteers also told me not to take myself so seriously. Many people in the entertainment circle say’ I am a star’, as if suddenly I have become a’ core’.But in the whole universe, how can I be the’ core’? No one is the core.
We are all very small, so don’t take ourselves so seriously. I need these things to make me feel’ I am still here’ and’ I am back’."Celina Jade said.
