In 2002, Ni Ping has hosted 10 consecutive Spring Festival Galas and won almost all awards in the hosting industry. Just when she was the most popular on CCTV, she suddenly ran to act in a movie, and Zhang Guoli said something unkind: "Whoever asks her to act in a movie will smash it." ”
Every Spring Festival, I always think of Ni Ping. knows that she is the host, but she is a serious acting professional.
In 1979, Ni Ping was still in college and starred in the movie "Mountain Chrysanthemum", embarking on the road of film. After graduation, he was assigned to the Shandong Drama Theater, became an actor, and appeared on the cover of "Popular Film", which became famous.
In 1984, the Chinese women's volleyball team prepared for the Los Angeles Olympics, and the movie "Chinese Girl" was prepared. Ni Ping "picked up" the starring role and played the role of Lang Ping, the captain of the women's volleyball team. Ni Ping is very excited, she was selected to join the school volleyball team because of her tall height in middle school, and she played the role of a women's volleyball player, she feels like she has returned to the profession. She and several main actors lived in the Chenzhou training base in Hunan Province to experience life.
One day, Yuan Weimin, then the head coach of the Chinese team, said unceremoniously to Ni Ping in public: "You can only play a volleyball player after 7 years of touching, especially you, the main attacker, I don't think you can do it!" ”
Ni Ping, who was originally full of confidence, froze in place, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. After that, she no longer dared to practice in front of Yuan's guidance. During the day, she secretly watched the team practice and secretly picked up the ball for them; In the evening, when others are resting, she practices in front of the wall in her room, sometimes until two or three o'clock in the morning.
In order to restore the devil training scene of the players, again and again, they fell to the ground, and there were countless kinds of rolling and saving balls. Ni Ping has been injured many times, and she still has pain in her lumbar spine. So much so that when she was in her 50s, her waist was so bad that she couldn't even go to bed, and she couldn't exercise while lying down to eat and drink, which was also the reason why she was so fat that she seemed to have changed as a person.
The release of the movie set off a boom in learning from the women's volleyball team across the country, and Ni Ping successfully created the role of the No. 1 player of the Chinese women's volleyball team. The group photo she took with Lang Ping, Zhu Ling and other team members did not have the slightest sense of disobedience, as if she was a real women's volleyball player, Ni Ping was arguing.
After that, Ni Ping's path as an actor became smoother and smoother, but in 1990, because of a special opportunity, she changed careers to become a host, and CCTV's achievements were well known to the outside world. Unexpectedly, this would become an obstacle for her to return to the big screen.
In 2002, Ni Ping took over the filming of "Beautiful Feet". Zhang Guoli openly said unabashedly: "Whoever asks Ni Ping to act in a movie will smash it, can the audience forget her image as a host?" ”
In the movie, Ni Ping plays the heroine Zhang Meili, a rural female teacher. Three months in advance, she went to northern Shaanxi to experience life. Exposed to the sun in the northwest every day, ** darkened, and burst skin. It took two months to learn Northern Shaanxi dialect, and by the time of filming, she was no different from the locals.
She lay down wherever she went, and often fell asleep when she was sleepy and lay on the sand. The local wind and sand are strong, and the crew all go into the house to eat. Ni Ping didn't, she followed the example of the locals, holding a bowl and a pestle in the wind, the sand was blown into the bowl, she closed her eyes and pulled it into her stomach, not caring at all.
In this way, Ni Ping played Zhang Meili alive, she said: "I want to knock down the existing image as soon as possible and stand up Zhang Meili." The audience cried, the judges recognized it, Ni Ping won the Golden Rooster Award, the highest award in the Chinese film industry, and her strength slapped Zhang Guoli in the face.
Two years later, Ni Ping took on a new film "Loaches Are Fish", in which she is also a rural woman. This time, she was even more ruthless with herself.
In order to restore the image of low-level rural women, Ni Ping did not take a bath for 3 months, and there was a rancid smell on her body, as long as the crew smelled the smell, they knew that Ni Ping was coming.
There is a scene in the play where the protagonist played by Ni Ping jumps into the river with props. It was winter, minus 16 degrees. During the shooting, Ni Ping jumped directly into the river in cotton pants without any warmth on her body. The effect of the movie has been achieved, and Ni Ping's retribution has also come: "After the movie is finished, my ** starts to walk in pain, and I can't walk more than 500 meters." “
This time, Ni Ping, who was out of the way, was for the ideal. "At that time, I wanted to make a good movie so much, I wanted to win an award. It's a pity that the film won the Best Artistic Achievement Award, but Ni Ping didn't win the Best Actress.
**Ten Thousand Fans Incentive Plan Ni Ping's film path is a success, and she has won a total of 10 film awards at home and abroad. For every movie role, Ni Ping tried her best to figure it out and integrate, reflecting a high degree of professionalism. After she gets old, she will take on the play, even if she is just the mother or mother-in-law who plays the protagonist, even if there is only one line, she will ponder it repeatedly in several different tones. Compared with some traffic stars, they rely on green cloth to perform keying, use numbers instead when they say their lines, and they also get sky-high salaries, which is really ironic! In today's impetuous entertainment industry, Ni Ping's performance is a beacon and sets a correct example for future generations. Dedication is not only loyalty to duty, but also respect for one's own talents.
