◎ Introduction: When she debuted, Liu Yifei was praised as a man of heaven, and her appearance was indeed not picky. After seeing her like a little dragon girl, she was shocked by her in the directing of Ye Weixin. The new version of Xiaoqian can be pure and cute, but also coquettish. Liu Yifei said that she has never set a model for herself. Looking at the next play of this actress who has just been 24 years old but has been out for 9 years, you can get a glimpse of her future star path. Yu Ji in "Hongmen Banquet" and the ruthlessness in "Four Famous Catchers", perhaps the single purity has long been a thing of the past. (Photo/Qian Jia Yiwen/Zhang Wei)

I never stereotype myself. Xiaoqian can be more stylish
Liu Yifei said that she never gave herself a position, but only acted seriously and played more and more exciting roles. Xiaoqian in "A Thousand Women’s Ghost" could be more amorous, but she also admitted that she had a bottom line in filming, and the naked-backed shot in "A Thousand Women’s Ghost" did use a substitute.
Movie networkThere are a lot of action scenes in "A Thousand Women’s Ghost". Did you get hurt while filming?
Liu Yifei: No, I have filmed a lot of action scenes before, and I am more experienced in this area.
Movie networkIn the play, when Xiaoqian fell in love with Yan Chixia, your hairstyle was exactly the same as Wang Zuxian’s. Is it a tribute?
Liu YifeiThe hairstyle is determined by the director. In fact, I have never seen the old version of "A Thousand Ghosts".
Movie networkDo you think you are more pure in appearance when you play Xiaoqian than Wang Zuxian?
Liu Yifei: In fact, it doesn’t matter if I am pure, but I have never wanted to position myself in what way, I just hope that I can put myself into any play.
Movie network: Many people think you are very good when you play a role in seducing men. Is it difficult to play such a romantic banshee?
Liu Yifei: Well, it’s actually not amorous enough.
Movie networkAre you not satisfied with yourself?
Liu Yifei: No, just kidding. (laughs) In fact, it could be a little more demonic. I also mentioned it to the director at the time, but everyone thought it was enough. I always told the director that I could play more exaggerated scenes, especially some provocative scenes, which would be more fun.
Movie networkDid you come up with many ambiguous lines in the play?
Liu Yifei: No, I just think it might be more realistic to deal with it this way, so I didn’t use the lines of Zou Zou in the costume drama. When filming, we would feel that if some lines were not actually according to the script, the effect would be better. The director also thinks so.
Movie networkWill you take on more challenging roles like banshees in the future?
Liu YifeiIn fact, I also want to play the banshee. If I don’t go deep into the role myself, I can’t play the feeling of the banshee, or the acting is only superficial. So every time I receive a script now, I ask myself what I can do (and then decide whether to play it or not).
She admitted that she did have a bottom line in filming. When she heard the word "naked back", Liu Yifei mistakenly thought it was "streaking", and her eyes widened for a while. After she understood, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Movie network: In the play, Xiaoqian has a naked back…
Liu YifeiRunning naked?
Movie network: Naked back.
Liu Yifei: Oh, you scared me to death. (laughs non-stop)
Movie network: Naked back scenes you are using a double, is there a bottom line when filming?
Liu Yifei: Yes.
Movie networkWhat is the difference between Xiaoqian’s feelings with Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen?
Liu YifeiIn fact, I think Ning Caichen is very brave. He doesn’t care whether this love is good or bad, even if in the end he knows that Xiaoqian is a demon, he still loves her very much. He will be more rational about his relationship with Yan Chixia, because he helped Xiaoqian make a choice (Yan Chixia made Xiaoqian forget him).
Movie networkWhat are your expectations for love?
Liu Yifei: It still depends on the feeling. There are not too many requirements. Love doesn’t require too many requirements. Let’s go with the flow.
