This role is like Concubine Xi in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and many viewers posted a barrage saying:"I still want to see my mother acting in a costume drama!"

Indeed, since the movie "Shadow" in 2018, no matter how loud the audience is, Sun Li has never starred in costume dramas again.

First, the success of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is indeed difficult to replicate, and it is more about Sun Li's loyalty to her performances and works.

rarely appears on variety shows, does not market "appearance", and the topic is not very hot, Sun Li has her own "rules of survival" in the disturbing entertainment industry.

Zhang Yimou also publicly said: "Sun Li is a rare smart person in the entertainment industry, she knows what she wants." ”

Now it seems that the director's vision is indeed vicious.

The unsociable "outlier" in the entertainment industry

"After watching so many TV series, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is my favorite 'electronic mustard'!"

When the drama was short, I still had to watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and the lines were all memorized, but I was still very sad every time I saw Sister Mei die.

The drama of more than ten years ago can still be played even now.

In 2024 years, the group comprehensive "The Legend of Zhen Huan" "Rejuvenation Travel" was broadcast on the Internet.

Cai Shaofen, Tao Xinran, Huan Xi and other leading actors appeared one after another, presenting a classic "memory killing" to the die-hard fans of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

And Sun Li, as one of the most important female protagonists in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", did not appear in the show.

According to the program team, half a year before the start of preparations for the show, the relevant person in charge sent an invitation to Sun Li, and even offered an unimaginable "sky-high salary." ”

But Sun Li's team only replied with three words: "No participation".

Sun Li's absence made countless "Zhen Huan fans" feel very disappointed, and they all "reproduced the famous scene of Zhen Huan" on Weibo.

在今年1月份的《甄嬛传》重聚晚会上,孙俪才时隔十多年后再次因“甄嬛”这个角色登上舞台。

The opening song "Phoenix Flying" brought all the audience back to that story again, and bowed deeply when they left.is not only a thank you to the audience for their support over the years, but also Sun Li's farewell to the role of Zhen Huan.

While Tao Xinran, Huan Xi and other actors are still taking advantage of the popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Sun Li chooses to look forward.

When peers Yang Mi, Zhao Liying and other 85 flowers frequently appeared in variety shows, and Weibo hot searches continued, Sun Li was living her own day.

In her social account, there are not too many exaggerated and eye-catching evening dresses, except for promotional works, which are calligraphy, vegetable planting, and accompanying children's daily life.

In the socially paramount Vanity Fair of the entertainment industry, connections and connections are seen as the keys to success.

However, Sun Li is like an out-of-place "outsider".

Unsociable confidence: the work is the hard currency

在《甄嬛传》十周年聚会中,She did not interact warmly with her old friends, and in front of the camera, she admitted that she "didn't add friends" in private.

This was originally a truth, but it caused an uproar on the Internet, and netizens questioned her "coffee discrimination", thinking that she forgot her former friendship after she became popular.

In the face of netizens' doubts, Liu Tao's true words may be the best interpretation of Sun Li's behavior:"I don't have time to be good to everyone, the entertainment industry is profitable, it's better to take care of your own one-third of an acre."

Sun Li knows that social networking in the entertainment industry is often full of utilitarianism and hypocrisy, and instead of spending a lot of time and energy to maintain those false interpersonal relationships, it is better to leave time for your family and career.

She put more energy into polishing her acting skills and shaping her roles, and she poured her heart and soul into each work.

From the emergence of "Jade Guanyin" in 2025 years, and then to the double dramas "Above the Dark Clouds" and "A Very Good Life" in 0 years.

Sun Li spent 22 years interpreting the actor's "stupid kung fu"-Don't chase traffic, don't stir up topics, just rely on works to speak.

Ding Hei recalled that when he was casting in 2003, Sun Li moved him just by the audition clip.

"She has a story in her eyes, and what is even more rare is her willingness to give everything for the role."

He also revealed that during the filming of "Jade Guanyin", Sun Li went to the set two hours early every day to practice the fighting actions of the anti-narcotics police, and her enthusiasm for work on the whole set was ignited by her.

Since then, Sun Li has embarked on an avenue of stars written with "love" and "study".

In order to play Zhen Huan's transformation from an innocent girl to the empress dowager, Sun Li began to consult relevant materials half a year in advance, scrutinized the script word by word, and even found out that "Qing History Manuscript" memorized a large number of literary lines.

When playing the concubine,Sun Li had to carry a flag head weighing more than 10 pounds almost all day long, which even caused damage to the scalp hair follicles and serious hair loss.

She also boldly transformed,As soon as she got the movie script, Sun Li made up her mind to "crumple herself into the role".

Zhang Yimou commented that Xiao Ai played by Sun Li in "Shadow" was "the most challenging role".

She retreated for two months to be able to play the guqin well, practicing for 8 hours a day, and finally achieved the performance effect of "the sound of the piano and the emotion at the same frequency".

Zhang Yimou said bluntly: "Her efforts make me feel pressure as a director. ”

Sun Li's "ruthlessness" has conquered every director, conquered all the audiences in front of the screen, and conquered this era of "traffic is king".

She used her strength to prove that "a really smart person knows how to use his energy on the blade".

This kind of wisdom is not only reflected in her work, but Sun Li's wisdom is "hidden" in the bits and pieces of her life.

The Wisdom of the Unsociable: Life is not a multiple-choice question

In the entertainment industry, which is full of temptations and challenges, many celebrities often sacrifice their family and personal lives in order to pursue career success.

howeverSun Li has found the perfect balance between family and career in a unique way, and has become a role model for many women.

Sun Li insistedThe principle of "four o'clock dismissal", no matter how busy she is at work, she will set aside time to cook dinner for her children.

In her opinion, accompanying her children to grow up is her most important responsibility as a mother, and she does not want to miss every important moment of her children because of work.

She prepares nutritious dinners for the children herself, shares interesting stories about the day with the children, and listens to their thoughts.

Even if she had dinner with director Zheng Xiaolong, Sun Li dared to leave the table halfway, just to be able to go home on time to accompany her children.

Director Zheng Xiaolong once revealed in an interview that she has never had a complete meal when she eats with Sun Li, and she always leaves early because she wants to go back to memorize words or accompany her children.

In her heart, the status of the family is irreplaceable, and she is willing to give everything for the family.

What's even more amazing is that Sun Li has also published two children's picture books.

Through warm and interesting stories, the values of love and courage are conveyed to children.

These two picture books not only show her love and concern for her family, but also show her talent in literary creation.

In the process of creating picture books, Sun Li invested a lot of time and energy, and she personally participated in the conception and creation of the story, striving to present every picture perfectly.

Sun Li proved with her actions,The value of an actor is not limited to the performance in front of the camera, but also the vitality of continuous breakthroughs.

She constantly challenges herself to try new areas and skills to enrich her life.

epilogue

Sun Li's "unsociable" is essentially an awe of the actor's profession and a clear understanding of self-worth.
