Liu Mintao has recently been on a number of hot searches because his expression is "out of control".
**The volume exceeded 35 million, setting a record for the highest direct shooting of an actress.
This ** expression was described by netizens very appropriately: "Three points of thinness, three points of ridicule, four points of carelessness, plus a little nonsensical sand sculpture." ”
Soon, Liu Mintao was made into various emojis.
Some people wonder if they are drunk.
However, Liu Mintao didn't know it.
Seeing the discussion of netizens, Liu Mintao was even directly stunned.
She asked the staff for advice: "Press a button to see the hot search?" ”
Subsequently** and clarified "I'm really not drunk".
This move is straightforward and cute, but it is even more popular.
Netizens all recommended Liu Mintao to participate in the new variety show "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves".
The program team is also very practical and responsive.
It seems that Liu Mintao will see more "self-release" in the future.
To be honest, when watching "Langya Bang" and "The Pretender", Liu Mintao gave people the feeling that his personality should be the same as the character, and she is a mature and stable big sister.
I couldn't imagine that Liu Mintao in reality could be so interesting.
For such a contrast, some people say that it is "letting go of oneself", and some people say that it is "middle-aged rebellion".
But after in-depth understanding, I found that Liu Mintao was actually not rebellious at all.
She just became herself again and lived a transparent life.
In the first half of Liu Mintao's life, she was a traditional good girl.
In 1976, Liu Mintao was born in Yantai.
When he was young, Liu Mintao was very lively and assertive.
She has three nicknames:
One is "Little Pepper", "I'm amazing, I never admit defeat, everything I say is right." ”
The second is the "little grasshopper", "I love to jump, and I have never walked step by step." ”
The third is "hairy taro", "very few hairs, like hairy taro." ”
But the family education is strict, and slowly, Liu Mintao has no opinions.
The tutor told her that filial piety means obedience.
So the only conversations she had with her parents were "yes", "yes", and "no problem".
Never expressed myself.
She studied step by step and studied carefully.
Even the newspaper ** Drama Academy is to obey the parents.
Before applying for the exam, she didn't even know what acting was.
Without any preparation, I went to the exam.
Fortunately, she is very talented, and with the first place, she was easily admitted to Chinese opera.
studied under Gong Li's former teacher, who was once called "Little Gong Li".
As soon as he graduated, he got good resources and starred in many big dramas "Good Luck", "Fengyang Boy Zhu Yuanzhang", "* Marshal", "Liao Zhai: Human and Ghost Love" ......
And they are all heroines, and their acting careers are bright.
But at this moment, she met love.
The tutor also told her that a woman should be at home with her husband and children.
She stepped into marriage and began to be a good wife and mother.
It was a full 7 years, and there was very little filming during this period.
She raised her daughter and supported her husband.
The ** age of an actress is consumed in firewood, rice, oil and salt.
She gave up on herself and lived as others expected, and "transformed into a vague virtuous helper".
But the marriage was not as good as expected.
Life is not a fairy tale, and the bright smile on the wedding photo is not the whole expression of life after that. ”
He was away all year round, coming home less and less often, and the intervals were getting longer and longer.
Not to mention spiritual communication and emotional communication.
At that time, Liu Mintao thought that it was the run-in period and thought that he was not good enough.
So she was more attentive to her husband, went to a friend's party, and dressed according to her husband's preferences.
But her forbearance and dedication did not get a response.
When the two went to Kiyomizudera Temple in Japan, Liu Mintao especially wanted to eat a cup of matcha ice cream.
But she was penniless, and she didn't have the confidence to ask for it.
Ice cream is not eaten after all.
This incident is a microcosm of the whole marriage, which has been haunting Liu Mintao's heart for a long time.
Many years later, Liu Mintao also went to Qingshui Temple again on purpose, just to eat ice cream.
Liu Mintao recalled: "Savor it, it is the taste of freedom! ”
This is all later.
At that time, Liu Mintao, although he was hit hard, had not fully woken up.
One summer night in 2013, I was the only one in the double bed.
Liu Mintao had insomnia again, and he couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen the person next to him.
In a trance, she saw herself who had stayed awake all night, staring at the ceiling: in addition to loneliness, there was no value.
Liu Mintao began to reflect:
Since the life of following the rules and going with the flow did not bring me the happiness I expected, but made me live a humble and pale life in the good years that should be full of energy.
It's better to be myself, rely on myself, let myself fly, achieve myself, take risks to live as I want, and try my own limit in the end.
As soon as the morning dawned, Liu Mintao decided to end the marriage.
As it turned out later, divorce was very wise.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't love his wife, but he doesn't even love his own flesh and blood.
Liu Mintao was in tears when he said this on "Venus Show":
I can only say that this thing in my house is a wonder.
He hadn't seen a child in the past two years, and he probably felt that work was more important than family. ”
After the divorce, Liu Mintao began to raise his daughter alone and has been carefully caring.
Until the daughter asked, intentionally or unintentionally, "Didn't Dad say to come to see me every Saturday?" Mom, don't you have your dad's? ”
Liu Mintao told his daughter about the divorce and told her, "When you grow up, you will ask your father."
The daughter is well-behaved and sensible, which gives Liu Mintao great comfort.
But she knew that only she could pull herself out of the emotional quagmire.
She said: "Confiding is just confiding, no one can help you, no one. ”
So, Liu Mintao re-devoted himself to acting, earning bread by himself and giving his confidence.
But 37 years old is a very embarrassing age for an actress who has been away for 7 years.
The female number one is definitely impossible.
But as soon as he returned, Liu Mintao became popular.
She has starred in many good dramas one after another, creating a number of gentle and layered roles.
Concubine Jing of Langya Bang".
The Spiegel of The Pretender.
Because of this, she was called "the eldest sister of the nation" and "the smartest princess" by netizens.
Behind the seemingly good luck, in fact, it is more than ordinary people in awe and hard work:
How can I be more brilliant than the main character, but not steal his show?
You don't have a chance to make mistakes, and if you don't cherish them, the camera will betray you for all your unprofessionalism. ”
Although his acting skills are impeccable, because of his mature appearance, Liu Mintao's role is almost either a big sister or an aunt.
In Langya Bang", Liu Mintao is Wang Kai's mother, but in fact, the difference between the two is only 6 years old.
In "Ode to Joy", Liu Mintao is Guan's mother, and Liu Tao is an unmarried and childless young girl, a generation behind.
In fact, Liu Mintao is only two years older than Liu Tao.
In order to break stereotypes, but also to try where your limits are.
Liu Mintao began to do a lot of things that he didn't dare to do before.
For example, cutting long hair and wearing backless clothing.
She also put on a school uniform and participated in the variety show "I Go to School" to experience student life.
Liu Mintao, who has a ball head, is full of girlishness, and there is no sense of disobedience when she walks with her tablemates.
When there was a conflict between the same table and his parents, Liu Mintao patiently enlightened him and was praised as "intimate sister".
Liu Mintao even put himself in a more embarrassing situation:
participated in "The Birth of an Actor", and the mentor was either a junior brother or a junior sister.
The reason is very simple: "I want to hear from the dear audience, look, Liu Mintao, she is really good!" ”
So, she dropped everything and acted like a newcomer.
No, it should be said that he is more dedicated than a newcomer: worthy of himself, worthy of the audience, and worthy of the work "The Pleiades of the Sky".
It was this brave challenge and perfect performance that made Liu Mintao win praise from his mentor.
also got an invitation to a drama, in which she will officially play the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Liu Mintao used his own experience to confirm the saying: "The harder you work, the luckier you are." ”
After resuming his singleness, Liu Mintao always tries to jump out of his comfort zone and constantly challenges himself at work.
In life, too, Liu Mintao changed his previous words and obeys.
They will also participate in discussions about big and small matters at home, and bravely express different opinions and even displeasure.
No longer hide your emotions for the sake of your parents' happiness.
She began to truly live for herself.
Expressing oneself was not considered unfilial by parents, but was praised on the contrary: "Child, you look more confident, and you live a more colorful life." ”
In this way, Liu Mintao made "Little Pepper" again.
That assertive girl.
Of course, being yourself is not a slogan.
It means having the freedom to choose, but it also means having to bear the consequences of that choice.
As Liu Mintao said in his speech:
really lived for himself, only to find that he never needed to think about what he said; Doing my own thing, on the other hand, requires the blessings of judgment and courage. ”
Liu Mintao has both.
Since she was a child, she has been "someone else's child": not only does she study well, she is also good at singing and dancing, and she can easily win awards in various competitions.
So much so that they are accustomed to certificates and trophies.
Every time I take it home, I put it on the table and say calmly, "Mom, it's here." ”
There is no complacency, and there is no joy among peers.
So much so that his relatives said: "This kid doesn't look like a child even if he wins the award." ”
Thanks to such a character, failure and success in the eyes of the world will not shake Liu Mintao.
She said: "Whether in life or career, there is no word 'failure' in my dictionary, because there is no word for 'success'. ”
In the eyes of outsiders, she has been in the industry for more than 20 years and has acted in more than 40 plays, 90% of which are female leads, but she has been tepid.
It wasn't until 2015 that the spy war drama "The Pretender" became popular all of a sudden.
At this time, she was 39 years old, and many people said that she was a late bloomer.
Others say she failed in her marriage.
But she said: ".There is no such thing as a success or a failure. As long as I put in one thing, it will make me happy.
Every role is enough to devote oneself to each role, not that I succeed from a certain role or a certain play.
There is no failure in the relationship, I just experienced a wife who has been married for seven years."
For her, life is a sweet and sour experience.
Liu Mintao is 44 years old this year.
But she said that the time she lived for herself was only 4 years.
In the first half of her life, she was a daughter, a wife, and a mother, fulfilling her due responsibilities, or fulfilling the expectations of others.
In the second half, she is herself, in charge of her own emotions, life and career, becoming her own helmsman.
Of course, there are also people who question, will it be too late?
She said confidently
Whether it's good or bad, whether it's happiness, or frustration, I've experienced it all, and everything is just right. ”
She faded away from the youth and purity of a girl, and her heart became rich and powerful.
"Not believing that exhaustion and numbness are the undertones of middle-aged people," she said. ”
No matter how busy she is filming, she will also make the hotel feel like home: February**Dynamic Incentive Plan Change into your own bed sheets**,
Spread the favorite sofa cloth
A bouquet of flowers is inserted at the head of the bed
Then put the family's **、
Smelling the scented candles, the ears are wearing a small speaker softly**··
In between filming, a rare day of vacation, she will also have a full and beautiful life:
Drinking coffee on the street, getting your nails done, watching a small theater show...
Be kind to herself and to life, she becomes graceful and rich.
Many actresses of the same age began to be anxious about the midlife crisis: lack of good roles and good plays.
But she can confidently say: "The so-called embarrassment of a 40-year-old actress is not an anxiety for me, but a regret." ”
What is the pity?
It's a pity that the audience didn't have the opportunity to see the material and interesting of middle-aged women.
"Forty years old is the most glamorous and beautiful time for a woman," she said. I'm getting more and more like myself, and I'm loving myself more and more. ”
In Li Jing's words: "She is getting more and more comfortable." ”
In fact, most of us, like Liu Mintao, started by fulfilling the responsibilities given by the outside world and living according to the requirements of others.
Slowly after going through the ups and downs,
Some people will be content with the status quo and keep getting used to it.
Some people start to think, "What do I want?" ”
This is the process of finding oneself that everyone should have.
This is very important especially for women.
Unfortunately, many people may not find such a feeling in their lifetime.
And Liu Mintao found it.
This is the real reason why she is a fan.
