In a certain program, Xu Zhiyuan asked Hao Lei what she thought of the phenomenon that the younger generation is so eager to enter the entertainment industry. Hao Lei's answer was direct and sharp: "Make money, fame and fortune are the most basic things in this industry!" This view highlights the reality behind showbiz.
Hao Lei further pointed out in the show that the most important thing for an actor is to be real, not to be pretentious, deliberate, and not to be divorced from life. However, she pointed out that most of today's actors are unreal, and this unreality can prevent them from playing their roles well.
Her views are sharp and profound, and she has more than once criticized the so-called "explosive acting" and dared to question the entire film industry. This kind of outspoken attitude is not common in the entertainment industry, but it is admirable.
In the third season of "I Am an Actor", actor Sheng Yilun's performance was not satisfied by the judges, and he blamed himself for his poor acting skills, thinking that he could only make some bad movies. However, Zhang Ziyi questioned this: "Who forced you to go to filming?" Are you here to make ends meet? Or is it for fun? It's not for your role, why would you want to pick it up? Hao Lei said that most actors need to grow up in bad movies, acting skills are practiced, and no one is born to act.
Hao Lei has been acting for more than 20 years, and her talent has been recognized by the audience and she is known as "the most underrated actress in China". She aspired to be on TV since she was a child, and entered Changchun Film Studio when she was only 15 years old.
At the age of 18, she was admitted to the acting major of Shanghai Theater Academy, and then played the role of Yang Yuling in "17 Years Old Don't Cry", so she became an instant hit. Outside the play, she is straightforward and bold, but in the play, she is soft and literary, firm in her beliefs, and full of charm.
Although most actresses pay attention to fashion and appearance, Hao Lei is not impressed, she believes that actors should be real in real life, otherwise they will not be able to observe the lives of ordinary people, and they will not be able to act well.
Hao Lei has always maintained a sober understanding and is not swayed by the standards of the outside world, and her frankness and inaction have brought fresh breath to the entertainment industry. I hope she can continue to be free and happy, and bring us more excellent works.
