According to Suho, in a recent interview, when asked about her plans to join a new film crew, Liu Yifei said she was being cautious and considering carefully before choosing a suitable script.
“I hope that every work I take on is a script that I want to film and think that I must film this movie.
Right now, the important thing for me is not to maintain quantity, but to find a breakthrough script" - the beauty born in 1987 shared.
Liu Yifei is the most famous actress on the Chinese screen. She built her reputation with a series of famous historical and martial arts TV series such as "Thien long bat bo" (2003), "Tien chien ky hiep" (2005), "Than the duong dao" (2006) when she was not yet 20 years old, and was nicknamed "fairy sister".
After "The Return of the Condor Heroes", Liu Yifei focused on the film industry. She played many leading roles in Chinese films and became the first Asian beauty to play the leading role in a Disney film, playing the role of "Mulan" in the film of the same name.
However, Liu Yifei's path to conquering the silver screen was not as expected. Domestic works failed to make an impression, and her performance in "Mulan" was also controversial.
In 2022, Liu Yifei made an impressive comeback on the small screen after 16 years of absence, with the historical drama "Meng Hua Lu".
Since then, for three consecutive years, Liu Yifei has had a successful TV series with the main role every year. After "Meng Hua Lu" is "Going Where the Wind Blows" (2023) and "Rose Story" (2024).
While many Chinese actors air 2-3 films a year, Liu Yifei only acts in 1 film a year, but all receive positive feedback about the quality.
“Meng Hua Lu” scored an average of 7.9 on Douban with 887,000 reviews. “Going Where the Wind Blows” scored 8.7 with 362,900 reviews. “Rose Story” aired in the middle of this year also scored 7.4 with 238,500 reviews.
The large number of viewers rating the film on Douban also shows the interest from a large audience in Liu Yifei's film.
Many people believe that Liu Yifei has the ability to choose good TV drama scripts. Her emphasis on quality over quantity has helped Liu Yifei produce impressive works every year, and not waste time on bland works.
However, there are also opinions that the reason Liu Yifei is not pressured about the number of films is because she has had a solid position since she was very young. Therefore, even though she only meets the audience in 1 film a year, which is shown for about 1 short month, it is still enough to help her name spread.
