The cover star Zeng Li reminisces about the times

Mondo Entertainment Updated on 2024-01-29

Poets of the past used to say that time is a gift, but now we are Xi to frown at time. Time is often just a measure, a reminder, a synonym for aging and abandonment, in the era of social networks, those daily flashback clips on large and small screens, alerting people to find the destination in life at any time. Everyone is worried in advance, time is a number that cannot be lost.

Zeng Li said that if this was the "fashion" of this era, she might be that exception. When the mainstream view tries to bind her decades-old state, the kind of self-contained beauty, to time anxiety, Zeng Li tries to make a gentle "disenchantment" of this conclusion. "No one can escape time, but everyone deserves to be wonderful. "In the past 20 years, she has always accepted all the established or accidental trends, and every moment and moment that has passed and is in progress, for Zeng Li, only her truest emotions and memories remain, and she has never failed to live up to any delivery, so time is still a gift for her.

Two years ago, the kicking of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves Season 2" made many people see Zeng Li again. There is a very clever description: seeing Zeng Li, it is as if a piece of jewelry from the past has been turned out of the jewelry box, and the mood similar to "it turns out that you are still there" is even more surprising than when we first met. At the beginning, when the program team found Zeng Li, she had some worries about singing and dancing, but this hesitation did not last long, and she soon felt that it was okay to go.

"It's okay" is an important annotation of Zeng Li's life, with a little fun, try it, leave room for it, and don't easily have ambition or set a goal casually. Therefore, for the surging voices after that, Zeng Li admitted that she was very surprised and grateful, but she still maintained a normal heart, she said thank you for everyone's memory, and she also enjoyed the process. Over the years, for those who love Zeng Li, she has not changed, and fans who care about her have also regretted that she has lost a lot of opportunities because of her "lack of clear career" character. But Zeng Li still feels that everything is okay, life is a process of ups and downs, for her personally, in different stages of life, she has actually always enjoyed her own "satisfaction".

I don't feel like I have any regrets in my life so far, and I've experienced every step of the way. I studied opera in my teens, filmed in my early twenties, and when I was in my thirties, I was very eager to be quiet, and in my forties, I suddenly became interested in some new things, so I did it. There is something resigned to my personality, I am also Xi to many things, if I know what I think at the moment, then I will not compromise easily, once the decision is made, no matter what the outcome or process of that decision is, I will do my part. ”

With the "popularity" of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves Season 2", it was not within Zeng Li's expectations. Looking back now, I only feel that everything I have experienced is fresh and powerful, and I didn't expect that I would go to variety shows, sing and dance, and even live a long-lost collective life, and I will dance and practice all night Xi, which is similar to going to a new world, which gives Zeng Li a lot of happiness.

It reminded her of her experiences in ancient times. Back a few decades ago, the teenage Zeng Li traveled from Hubei to Beijing alone to learn Xi Peking Opera in Beijing. At that time, the conditions were difficult, the pressure of training and the daily repetition of the process, the young Zeng Li was also rebellious, but often at the end of a stage, in front of the empty mirror in the Xi room, looking at himself who had just finished Xi, the uncontrollable, relaxed smile was naturally overflowing. It seems that after so many years, this subtle but weighty happiness has always remained in the depths of her heart.

She remembers that because she was too tall at that time, it was an obstacle to Peking Opera performances, and Zeng Li had to spend more time than others to adjust many body movements, and it also took more energy to adjust and improve her skills than others. She always had more problems than the students of the same period, and when one problem was solved, the next problem began, and the school year was often in a state of gnashing of teeth, followed by another stage of gnashing of teeth.

Those memories have now become jokes. "I'm a person who loves to endure hardship. But it was also from that time that Zeng Li reaped a kind of happiness related to time: the more concentrated you are, the more you will forget many noises, and when you come out of this concentrated state, the tranquility of only yourself and the world is incomparable, and gains and losses become unimportant.

"I think the first extreme, selfless experience has influenced me a lot. I think everybody has an experience like this, and if you're going through it, make sure you remember it. I still think about it from time to time, and I often feel like I'm still growing. ”

Time will have an end, and if you cling to that end from the beginning, you will lose a lot of happiness. Zeng Li said that she has seen many evaluations about her beauty, which are sometimes even mystified, such as "the secret of frozen age" and "how to race against time", and sometimes she herself is surprised: "I really never realized that I was fighting against time, which is the state that naturally presents to everyone." But Zeng Li felt that this should not be a personal main task. She never wants to be the enemy of time, to compete and race, but to enjoy her own efforts in time as much as possible, and does not care about the results.

"What's more, beauty is a multifaceted thing, there is no fixed template, and it is precisely because beauty has no limits that the world will be more exciting. I don't want to be a standard answer, if I could, I wanted to be one of many, and I wanted everyone to be clear about what they wanted in their hearts, and then to love and believe in themselves. ”

has been an actor for more than 20 years, and Zeng Li has played too many different types of roles. Especially the elders who play the younger actors, the outside world will default to this being a taboo for actresses, but Zeng Li has never understood this view, she has never felt that this is a problem.

When I first graduated, I played the role of a mother, and the role of a mother is very interesting, after all, a mother is a very important and great existence. ”

Compared with playing a mother, more attempts at acting over the years have been in the details of Zeng Li's life, and there are too many small things about the role that form part of her life. When she just graduated, she went to interview for "Talented Men and Women", she wore many hats, became her own agent, prepared her own materials, went to the interview by herself, and went back and forth between the set and the temporarily rented house in Beijing in late autumn, just like the heroine in the movie "Francis Ha". finally got the role of Yan Ruyu, and she still can't forget that surprise. She still remembers that the director asked her if she could cut her long hair that had been kept for more than ten years short, and she agreed without hesitation.

She comes from a background in opera performance, and it is a long course to translate the strict stylized rules of traditional opera art into a natural performance on the screen. Every female character she has played over the years has been a branch of this course. In "Housewives Have to Fight", she kills Yilan, an independent woman who is decisive in the workplace, Concubine Xiao who regards the righteousness of the country above love in "Le You Yuan", and the resourceful general Xiao Yuanyi in "Splendid Stars", which has recently been talked about by everyone, ......For every interesting and complex female character, Zeng Li is not satisfied with getting along with them in the play. Not limited to the era, their stories also seem to subtly enter Zeng Li's life, and sometimes she feels that she has also Xi a lot from the role.

In the past, I had a lot of positive roles, but in the past two years I have received some relatively light and loose roles, which have broken the rules of my personal performance and even affected some parts of my life. ”

On his personal social networking**, Zeng Li shared his life, not only the content of his outfits, but also some details of his life: the movies he watched recently, the food he was keen on when he was in season, the ongoing exercise, and some health knowledge. For those who love her, what is more interesting is to discover Zeng Li's humorous side, that kind of relaxed and slightly cold humor, which is easy to remind people of Xiao Yuanyi she played in "Splendid Stars", the kind of person who will tell funny stories with a straight face.

Shooting short**, sharing outfits**, Zeng Li said that all this also has a kind of fun. If you feel relaxed from it, then I believe that this ease will also be passed on to others through yourself. It seems that after forty years of confusion, the actor's job is not just as simple as a job, but more like a gift of life, a gift to Zeng Li, a subtle but appropriate homonym.

Over the years, the team I have worked with is very young, in fact, the entire film and television industry is also iterating, and the ideas and rules of the past will also change. I seem to be very adaptable, I can feel a lot of energy with young people, absorb more ideas and attitudes, and the future belongs to them. ”

Previously participating in the First Youth Film Festival in Xining, Zeng Li had a lot of feelings when she came into contact with many new generation directors and actors. The world is changing, both in individual life and in the sense of community, and she is still participating in it, Zeng Li tells us that this exchange has essentially given her more ideas and inspiration, which is the power of a new generation of young people.

Many people are afraid of time and feel that they will not do anything more at a certain stage. I'm thankful for the performance, and it's kept me away from that fear. ”

In addition, Zeng Li said that she has more enthusiasm for sharing than before. Whether it's being shared, or sharing yourself, the feeling of a temporary break in the boundaries is also part of the gift.

Over the years, many actors have appeared in various types of variety shows, and Zeng Li is not excluded from this, she is still very grateful, and her identity as an actor can expose her to more different fields. During the recording of the program "A Thousand Years of Food", she went to Suizhou, the hometown of bronzes, to experience the intangible cultural heritage of bronze culture and chimes, and tasted a lot of local specialties.

In "City of Museums", Zeng Li communicated with a very senior Chinese medicine teacher, and also went up the mountain to pick Chinese medicine.

Doing content on Xin**, Zeng Li told us that she has never considered the sense of the times of the form, everything is based on interest and a suitable angle, which is part of her outside of being an actress. At this moment, Zeng Li is enjoying the fun of all these attempts, the enthusiasm of the moment, and the happiness that comes from feeding, and it is unknown what the future will be.

Zeng Li said that she has always been a person who focuses on the present and the past, the past time has shaped the present self, those experiences, those emotions, and the current mood are turned into the energy of the moment, and people can become their current self precisely because of the pastIn the future, Zeng Li said, time will always tell us the answer, we can have expectations, but don't be too specific, treat the future as a gift, and keep the surprise.

Bazhu:Curious about your jewelry collection, can you share one or two pieces with us?What kind of jewelry will Zeng Li like now?How do you usually decide which piece of jewelry or watch to collect?

Zeng Li:I've been buying Chinese jewellery lately. Like the brooch of the intangible cultural heritage orchid that everyone likes, it looks very simple, but in fact, it requires very complex craftsmanship to make little by little. I also hope that this intangible cultural heritage skill can be passed on forever, and the craftsman spirit of "choose one thing for a lifetime" is also very worthy of being seen by everyone.

Bazhu:How do you understand the relationship between women and jewelry?

Zeng Li:Jewelry is a craft that can express oneself and express a woman's attitude. Like I participated in a jewelry event before, the designer held a jewelry exhibition because of a butterfly, I really felt very touched when I visited it, and I shared with you: I hope every girl can become a butterfly out of the cocoon. I think jewelry represents a kind of our own values and beautiful expectations for life, it is very much like the interest of life, only if you polish it with your heart, it can become more and more brilliant and bright.

Bazhu:As the year draws to a close, share a memorable moment of the year, whether it's a movie you've watched, a time you've spent with friends, or a landscape you've seen.

Zeng Li:The happiest moment I can think of lately was when I went to a birthday party where I had a girlfriend for the New Year. After that we stayed together and talked all night over tea. It's been a long time since I've had an all-nighter, but that night really felt like time was passing too fast, and it was really relaxing and happy.

Bazhu:How will you spend New Year's Eve this year?Was there anything that stood out in previous New Year's Eve?

Zeng Li:Last year's New Year's Eve, I sang a national style opera "Wujia Po" with Mr. Zhang Qi, and I am very happy to be liked by everyone, and more and more young people like to listen to opera and are willing to listen to it to understand. I don't know what form this year's New Year's Eve program will be presented to you yet, so you can look forward to it.

Bazhu:Many people feel that this year seems to have passed particularly quickly, in the new year after the end of the epidemic, in fact, in many industries, we have also seen a move that everyone is trying to recover, for the past 2023, and the upcoming 2024, Zeng Li has any feelings and expectations?

Zeng Li:In fact, every year in the past two years, a year-end summary will be issued on New Year's Day. When I see a lot of friends who like me at work, they are 20 years old, and I have some sense of responsibility and don't want them to spend too much time on me, but should embrace real life. I will post this content to tell you that I have also had a lot of gains and challenges this year. In 2024, I really hope that everyone can embrace their real lives and become each other's strength.

Bazhu:Can you leave a New Year's greeting for someone who likes you at the end?

Zeng Li:In the new year, I hope that everyone will be able to do what they like simply and happily. Recently, I have also seen private messages from everyone, there are emotional anxiety, confusion in study Xi work, unhappiness in trivial matters in life, etc., at the end of the year, everyone should stay in a bad negative mood, find a new way of life that suits them, and welcome the New Year
