Unbelievable.
Faced with the news of singer Li Min's depressed death, countless people could not believe that this was true.
On the evening of July 5, Li Min's sister Li Silin sent out a long article, which was shocking——
"CoCo unfortunately suffered from depression a few years ago, and after a long battle with the disease, unfortunately, his condition has taken a sharp turn for the worse recently, and he died at home on July 2, and has been in a coma after being sent to the hospital.
Li Min, born in 1975, is only 48 years old this year, and this year also coincides with the 30th anniversary of her debut, but the news of her death is shocking.
How can a pop diva who is always full of vitality in front of people, brings countless beautiful classic songs, and is known as the "light of the Chinese", suddenly come from such bad news, how can this be acceptable?
On the day of her suicide on July 2, Li Min was still leaving a message to fans saying that she would cheer and work hard, and hoped that fans would be healthy.
It was too sudden to accept at all.
The entertainment industry is full of grief, including Shu Qi, Jolin Tsai, Deng Ziqi, Sun Honglei and other stars posted condolences, everyone mentioned many famous songs of Li Min before his death, including "Moonlight Lover", "Di Da Di", "Dao Ma Dan", "365 Days of Thinking of You", "Good Mood", "Beautiful Stupid Woman" and so on.
Many people are familiar with the singer Li Min, in fact, Li Min has also made movies.
The name of the movie is "Amusement of Yourself", which was released in 2004, and now it seems even more embarrassing.
As the only film starring Li Min, it is a relatively "alternative" comedy film, directed by the sixth generation director Li Xin, but this Li Min's film debut is a seriously underrated movie.
After the news of Li Min's death came, many fans poured into the homepage of the movie to leave messages, adding high scores, which made people even more embarrassed.
What kind of movie is "Amusement for Yourself"?
Filmed almost 20 years ago, this film now seems to be a very avant-garde comedy, but it was once considered a "bad film" at the time.
Director Li Xin filmed a rural story based on real people's events:
Zhou Yuanqiang, head of the Jingdezhen Chengcheng Cultural Station, used his home camera to shoot 28 episodes of self-amusement TV series, and 1,200 of the village's 1,500 villagers have been on his TV series.
The protagonists of the story are rural people, but the heroes and heroines of the movie chose stars who are very "foreign" from appearance to temperament.
One is Zun Long and the other is Li Min.
The story is about Lu Hua (played by Li Min), a friend of the single Han Mi Jihong (played by Zunlong) and his sister Ah Lian (played by Tao Hong), in a small mountain village, but Lu Hua, as the daughter of the village chief, is still the backbone of the village's literature and art, which makes Mi Jihong timid to speak.
Lu Hua, who loves to perform, was eliminated in an audition for a certain crew, and Mi Jihong, who couldn't bear Lu Hua's sadness, was whimsical and decided to invite Lu Hua to star dramas to meet her dream of stardom.
So, Mi Jihong himself served as a camera and director, and then found the owner of the village hotel to invest, and the carpenter in the village participated, and filmed a martial arts drama, and the heroine in the play is Lu Hua played by Li Min.
Li Min's appearance in "Self-Entertainment" was far from the female singer on her stage back then, and the movie was a rustic but fantastic, dream-chasing "village girl" in the entertainment industry.
In the film, the exaggerated and untimely makeup, coupled with the forced appearance of the heroine, was seen once and laughed once, and I couldn't believe that it was singer Li Min.
However, in those years, the two stars who could impress Zun Long and Li Min to take the international route to act in such a rural movie, if it were not for the moving story, if it were not for the distinctive characters, I believe they would not be able to attract them to use such a "contrast" with themselves.
This kind of courage to try and break through at that time was once considered "violation", and many bad reviews also pointed to this.
But years later, many people gave different voices to the evaluation of this movie, and even began to evaluate the "salvage" of this "Self-amusement", thinking that it was a seriously underrated movie.
Someone commented:
"I still remember taking "A Hundred Years of Chinese Film" in my freshman year, and Li Xin's work was screened by the teacher as a representative work of the sixth generation. This is a good film that has been buried. ”
It is worth mentioning that Li Min played the village girl Luhua who was very different from herself in the film, although it was her first time starring in a movie, she received attention and recognition from many film and television awards that year.
Li Min was nominated for the New Talent Award at the 7th China Changchun Film Festival Golden Deer Award for her film "Amusing Yourself" and nominated for Best New Actor at the 5th Chinese Film Media Awards (2005).
In the film, Li Min wears heavy makeup, wears an ill-fitting cheongsam, and sings his famous song "Di Da Di" out of tune, with great contrast, and being able to perform so "openly" can see Li Min's love for this role and this story.
Li Min showed his courage and sincerity in performing, and now looking back, this performance breakthrough regardless of image is more worthy of respect.
The movie "Entertain Yourself", if you haven't seen it, it is recommended to watch it, and if you have seen it, it is recommended to rewatch it again.
Look at how beautiful and cute Li Min was 20 years ago.
Now she is gone in such a way, she can't believe it, she doesn't want to believe it, alas...
