In September this year, a workplace drama "Ordinary Glory" starring Zhao Youting, Bai Jingting and Qiao Xin was a hit, and some netizens said after watching this drama: "It's too real, as if I saw my former self." While the editor was attracted by the plot, she also saw the figure of a person, she was Liu Jia, who played Bai Jingting's mother in the play.

Liu Jia was born on October 17, 1960 in Hegang, Heilongjiang Province.
She showed great artistic talent from an early age, joining the school's literary and art propaganda team at the age of 7 and learning not only to play the violin at the age of 11, but also to learn Peking Opera and recitation. But her parents did not intend to let her take the path of literature and art, but only let her have more artistic accomplishment.

Due to her relatively well-off family, Liu Jia has a lot of pocket money and can often watch movies. At that time, the movie was her spiritual sustenance and the source of happiness, and she could watch movies like "Chickens in the Middle of the Night" many times.
So, in the miner's cinema converted from the original factory building, she accepted the original enlightenment of the film.
Later, she was admitted to Heilongjiang Art School (now Heilongjiang Provincial Art Vocational College).

Liu Jia, who was admitted to the Heilongjiang Art School, was not at ease, and in that era, her greatest wish was to enter the military literary and art group.
In 1977, Liu Jia secretly applied for the South China Sea Ship Cultural and Labor Corps without the school and was admitted.
Before putting on the military uniform, a classmate told Liu Jia that the film studio had selected actors. Liu Jia thought: "What does the film studio have to do with me, and what does the selection of actors have to do with me?" Later, the classmates said that the teacher recommended several students to go to the interview. At this point, Liu Jia felt that it had something to do with herself: "Why doesn't the teacher let me go?" ”
So, in a fit of anger, she ran into the interview room and stood in front of the assistant director who was selecting an actor.
After learning of the intentions, the assistant director very kindly let Liu Jia sing a song, and she said with a straight face that she would not. Later, the director let Liu Jia do a sketch, and her sentence "What is a sketch" caused the laughter of everyone present, only she herself did not know, so she thought, I asked a sentence, you are ridiculous.
Later, Liu Jia was told to audition at the Beijing Film Studio. She originally thought that the audition was as simple as taking a photo, but she didn't expect that one shot was tried all morning, and the number of times was too much, and she couldn't bear it and shouted: "Start!" "The staff present were all happy and thought this little girl was very interesting.
"Black Triangle" in Qiulan
In this way, 17-year-old Liu Jia passed the audition and became the heroine of the movie "Black Triangle" Yu Qiulan, and began her acting career from then on.
There is a scene of "swimming by the river" in the film, 17-year-old Liu Jia, wearing a swimsuit, walking in front, behind her is a group of girls younger than her, each wearing a bright swimsuit, and her face is full of excitement for the first time.
Before the reform and opening up, people's thinking was conservative, at that time, don't say swimsuits, girls can't wear sleeveless shirts, so to show swimwear on the screen, it is undoubtedly necessary for directors, especially actresses, to have great courage. As a result, Liu Jia became the first actress to appear on the Chinese screen in a swimsuit.
In 1978, the movie "Black Triangle" was officially released, Liu Jia's fresh and beautiful image in the movie, deeply loved by the audience, was laughed at by the audience as "one corner four", which means that the movie ticket of "Black Triangle" is one dime and five points, of which one corner and four points are directed at Liu Jia.
Later, talking about that year, Liu Jia said: "Now that I think about it, I was really ridiculous at that time. Later, they told me why I was chosen at the time — "Black Triangle" didn't need acting, just a youthful, sunny, pure actor. ”

In the spring of 1978, the Beijing Film Academy resumed enrollment, and Liu Jia applied for the examination under the advice of the crew of "Black Triangle", successfully passed the exam, and became classmates with Zhang Fengyi, Xie Yuan, Zhang Tielin, Fang Shu, Shen Danping and others.

At that time, Liu Jia's "Black Triangle" was popular throughout the country, and her youthful and sunny image was loved by everyone, and a large number of films poured into her, and the filming time was more than the time spent in school. During her time at school, she participated in films such as "Lakeside", "Midnight", and "The Voice of the Heart".
Later, when Liu Jia recalled her college days, she frankly said: "At that time, my feelings for movies were not loveable, but I thought it was funny. I didn't know how to learn, I didn't know how to work hard, anyway, I happily 'played' for four years and then graduated. ”

In 1982, Liu Jia, who was assigned to work at Tianjin Television Station after graduating from university, began to really fall in love with movies.
Perhaps because the platform of "Black Triangle" is too good, and it is fast and simple, Liu Jia does not know how to act next, and there is no goal. "Because I love it, I am very demanding, I often reject some films that I think are not good, and gradually, there are fewer and fewer films that are suitable for me."
In 1986, Liu Jia played Huo Qingtong in the movie "Book of Swords and Enmity". She felt very painful this time shooting, and the heroism she expected was overwhelmed by her children's love, from the selection of scenes to the lines, which were beyond her expectations. She realized that she didn't know much about acting, and she didn't even watch the movie after it was finished.

How should it be performed? For the next ten years, Liu Jia was thinking about this problem. During this time, she rarely took over the role, and only starred in a small number of film and television works, such as "Bell and Drum Tower" and "Needle-Eyed Police Officer". At home, she reads a lot of books and movies, constantly enriching her horizons. At the same time, she worked as a producer of some TV dramas at Tianjin Television, which gave her more understanding of acting from another perspective. Becoming a mother also allowed her to gain real life experience.

In 1998, Liu Jia came to the crew of "Kunlun Goddess" and played the heroine Xue Lian. When standing on the Kunlun Mountain at an altitude of 4600 meters, she was shocked by the magnificent snow mountain and the tenacious warrior in front of her, and the confusion that had enveloped her for many years also disappeared in an instant, and she realized that while playing others well, it was more important to play herself.
In 1999, the TV series "Kunlun Goddess" was broadcast. In the same year, the drama won the second prize of the 19th China Tv Drama Feitian Awards for Novella TV Series.

After contemplation, Liu Jia began a new round of acting career.
In 2003, she was nominated for the Outstanding Actress Award at the 23rd China TV Drama Feitian Awards for her starring TV series "Galloping to the Ocean".
"Rushing to the Ocean" Liu Danhong
In 2005, a TV series based on Ren Changxia, director of the Dengfeng City Public Security Bureau in Henan Province, "Ren Changxia" was broadcast on a golden file on CCTV. Liu Jia interpreted Ren Changxia's personality charm with a simple and unpretentious performance, and objectively and vividly restored the real Ren Changxia.
At that time, in order to create a good artistic image of this first-class hero model of the national public security system, she went deep into Ren Changxia's family and colleagues and learned about Ren Changxia's life, she said: "Ren Changxia was first a woman, then a policeman, and finally a female public security bureau chief. ”

After the TV series was broadcast, the people of Henan said to Liu Jia: "Ren Bureau, come to my house for dinner one day." Even Ren Changxia's son specifically found Liu Jia to chat for a long time, and conveyed to her his father's original words: "You have brought Changxia to life!" He also secretly told Liu Jia: "Your eyes are very similar to my mother." "There is no doubt that these are the highest praises for Liu Jia and for an actor.
With "Ren Changxia", Liu Jia won the Outstanding Actress Award at the 26th China TV Drama Feitian Awards, the Audience Favorite Actress Award at the 23rd China Television Golden Eagle Award, and the Actress Award for best performing arts at the 6th China Golden Eagle Television Arts Festival.
In 2006, Liu Jia starred in "The First Five Phoenixes" in "Home with Nine Phoenixes", and she perfectly expressed the psychological contradictions of the characters in the complex character relationship.

In 2007, Liu Jia played a husband who traveled thousands of miles to Xinjiang with her two sons to find a husband who had been separated for 13 years in the CCTV hit drama "Gobi Mother", but as a result, she ushered in a divorce agreement, so she buried her grievances in her heart and took root in the hot land of the west with border warriors. During filming, Liu Jia's heartfelt performance made director Shen Haofang move to tears again and again. With this role, Liu Jia won the Audience Favorite Actress Award at the 24th China Television Golden Eagle Awards.

In 2008, in the TV series "Mill Woman", Liu Jia smoothly expressed the poignant life of The Waterway Woman with a relaxed and comfortable performance.
Since then, Liu Jia has successively participated in dramas such as "High Woman and Low Man Low", "Life and Death Entrustment", "You Are My Happiness", "Beautiful Declaration of Daughter-in-Law", "Spy Battle deep sea", "Unique Hero", "Obstetric Male Doctor", "Those Things Outside marriage", "Distant Home" and so on.

Liu Jia is not a "prolific" actor, compared to those actors who can shoot more than a dozen or twenty dramas a year, her works can be said to be pitiful. But over the years, whether it is the protagonist or supporting role, she will carefully deliberate, perfectly show the true emotions of the character's heart, and prove her strength to everyone with her works.
She once summed up the experience of being an actor in these years in one sentence: "When I was 20 years old, I thought acting was particularly simple, when I was 30 years old, I was confused, and when I was 40 years old, I thought acting was a very difficult thing." ”

Liu Jia, who is conscientious in her career, is very low-key in life, she never deliberately packages and hypes herself, nor does she have any scandals.
In life, she is neither the heroic and soft-hearted Ren Changxia, nor the strong and stoic Liu Yueji, nor the fierce Song Mingmei, she is just an ordinary wife and mother, and her biggest hobby is to do housework.

She never confuses life and work, and never wins eyeballs by showing off, she marries low-key, has children in a low-key manner, and strives to maintain a balance between family and career.
Now 61 years old, she is still elegant and intellectual, filming a lot but insisting on meticulous craftsmanship, constantly bringing surprises to the audience. I look forward to teacher Liu Jia to bring us better works!
