李冰冰的“蜕变”

荧屏脱颖而出

《猛龙特警队》中，李冰冰与迈克尔・宾饰演一对情侣，是刑警追踪过程中最关键的人物。李冰冰饰演的尤静，外表妩媚，内心却单纯。这样一个双重个性的角色对李冰冰来说，真是一次考验；另外，为了和迈克尔・宾演好对手戏，李冰冰的全部对白用英语来完成。

《聊斋・小翠》中的“小狐仙”小翠，为报救命之恩和林志颖饰演的傻儿日久生情，后来傻儿恢复智力却中了蛇毒六亲不认，为救傻儿，小翠耗尽最后一丝真气，自己却被雷神召回天庭。花园里，重新变傻的傻儿梦想着和小翠无忧无虑地嬉戏，充满童真……李冰冰饰演的女主角小翠是个善良多情的小狐仙，只不过这份爱情的结果多少有些遗憾，“你要相信他们在一起也好，分开也好。人，要一辈子相信上天赋予你的东西，不要逆天而行。我的性格也是顺其自然的。”李冰冰说。

1998年的电视剧《大明宫词》，观众在荧屏上第一次认识李冰冰。权力欲望的争夺缠绕着弥漫的脂粉气息，在大明宫殿红墙绿瓦的掩盖下，“安乐公主”一袭黄纱，嚣张跋扈，被仇恨扭曲得变态，戏份虽然不多，却被她刻画得入木三分；随后的电影《过年回家》，她获新加坡国际电影节最佳女主角奖；电视剧《少年包青天》又获第二届中国电视艺术双十佳演员称号；她的脚步从未曾停止过，她的努力有目共睹，到了冯小刚的《天下无贼》，她的才华终于在这部戏里无限量地爆发。

《天下无贼》中的“小月”

李冰冰说：“我从2002年开始拍贺岁片，《老鼠爱上猫》《百年好合》到《天下无贼》，基本上每年都有贺岁片，最近记者们都问我是不是有什么门路?我哪有?!可能是因为我长得比较喜庆吧，我的表现让所有的导演都觉得值得合作。”“《天下无贼》是一个理想主义的作品。两个贼失去了理想家园，但在一列火车上又找到了自己的本性。”“不止一次，冯小刚这么评价他的作品，结局是悲剧，又带略微心酸和浪漫，不似以前作品的揶揄讽刺。”李冰冰眼里的冯导，是中国最有才华的导演之一，他的聪明藏而不露，“冯导对女演员有改变力量。所以我要感谢冯导，给了我一个改变的渠道，让我在这部戏里看到我新的表现，让观众觉得我除了侠女、傻大姐，也能演其他的类型。”

对于葛优，李冰冰是身临其境地感受到了他炉火纯青的幽默功力。她第二次和刘德华合作，也让冰冰感觉大哥对小妹妹的照顾和体贴：“刘德华很敬业很努力，很会为人，他会夸我‘冰冰是个好孩子，真是个好孩子!’”有一场在车厢里的大戏，狭窄闭塞的环境里，李冰冰跟刘德华大跳奔放的拉丁舞，刘德华从后面抱着冰冰，冰冰感到紧张加尴尬，心里直犯嘀咕，“当时我心里别扭着，很不好意思。老是拍不好，然后刘德华就把我拉出去说，‘你是不是有什么顾虑啊?’他让我放松，叫我不要怕，结果再来的时候我一下子就忘记了紧张。”

故乡在北方父母迁杭州

李冰冰离开故乡有6年了，父母已迁来杭州定居，现在那边已没有任何亲人。六七岁时李冰冰特别爱唱歌，当时想得最多的是将来要当歌唱家，长大后，她越来越发现自己不大能成为歌唱家，感到这个希望渺茫。后来她有了一个更傻的理想――当售货员。因为售货员比较有钱，顾客都得把钱给她才能拿到东西。所以这么单纯的女孩考“上戏”觉得太意外。她说那时候特别土，一个县城里的小孩没有任何见识和阅历，把当大学生作为终极目标。如果不是演员高强的推荐，如果不是因为她自己咬紧了牙关想要完成父母的愿望，也许至今她还在那个不知名的小镇上当着音乐老师。

到“上戏”上学之后，李冰冰开始试接广告，“地铁”、“玉兰油”……挣的钱也越来越多，当初那个小镇里出来内秀朴实的小姑娘终于见了大世面，“我要相信天生我材必有用。如果你们非要说我幸运我也没办法，但我没觉得我幸运，我是在拼机会。我总是说我是天上掉下来的小球，被我踢一步走一步，误打误撞就入了这一行。我会珍惜每一次机会的光顾。”“这一次做好了，才会有下一次的等待。好像游戏中踩地雷一般，走好了这一步，下一步才能走出一片光明灿烂来……”

如果说李冰冰有今日的成绩是归功于幸运的话，还不如说这是她的努力。一个女人最可爱最美丽的时候应该是认真工作的时候，她也不例外。每个成功的背后总是会有付出和辛苦，李冰冰相信没有吃不了的苦。拍《天下无贼》的时候因为高原反应，李冰冰曾经三天三夜下不了床；刚开始拍古装戏，第一天在钢丝绳上走时，她根本就站不起身来；从房顶上跳下来时就趴在地上站不住脚……有一段时间她肩胛发炎，疼得眼泪簌簌地流，她不吭一声，咬着嘴趴在一旁的桌子上。但是，一到该她拍戏的时候，她居然像没事似地说说笑笑……

拍摄《紫蝴蝶》时剧情要求她身上裹着炸弹，等她倒下时有车子从她身边开过，车轱辘刚好从她的脚上碾过；《飞鹰》有多出苦肉戏，有一场戏是导演和武术指导要求李冰冰穿上一双皮靴，站在摩托车的油箱和仪表盘上完成一系列高难动作，那双要命的皮靴后跟高达10厘米，简直比耍杂技的专业动作还难。

李冰冰的谈吐让我相信她绝对是个完美主义者，但她自己不承认，她说自己并不追求完美，她还是个挺“无聊”的人，“我没有喜欢的咖啡牌子，不喜欢喝茶，也没有推崇的香水，如果不是约人谈事，也从来不上咖啡厅、茶室，这不是无聊是什么?!”

《回家过年》意外获奖

1999年张元执导的电影《过年回家》，李冰冰在里面饰演一个女警官陈洁，人物正面得有些牵强，却基本得到了观众的认可，她和另一个女孩陶兰“同龄却不同命”，多少会引发一些同情和共鸣。李冰冰也因此意外地得了新加坡国际电影节最佳女主角奖。说起当年她与电影《过年回家》的缘分，虽然过去已经5年，现在还感到有趣：快要开机的时候，剧组挑选演员时曾经找到李冰冰饰演犯人陶兰，但因为当时冰冰在拍李少红的电视剧《大明宫词》，所以就婉拒了。而且在她脑子里，演犯人的角色并不好。等到开机了一段时间，导演又来找李冰冰，这次的角色变成女警官，原先的演员因为年龄差距太大而不合导演的意，李冰冰抓住了这一次的机会，去演一个距离自己生活很遥远的角色，剧组安排她到监狱体验生活的时候，冰冰自己都觉得心很虚。这个剧获奖也纯属意外，导演张元一个人带着电影去新加坡参加国际电影节，却意外地满载而归。夜里一两点钟按捺不住兴奋的张元给李冰冰打电话，告诉她得奖了，她高兴得不知所措。而冰冰特别不自信，后来又打电话给张元，问这是真的吗?张元说是真的，她这才高兴得都不知道该干什么了。

笔者采访李冰冰是她在横店和林志颖拍摄《聊斋》系列《小翠》的时候，一番交谈后，我对李冰冰说：看得出你在艺术上追求完美。她笑起来，说：我并不追完美，也不算时尚。后来我又问起她感情方面的事，她说：“你说我向往什么样的爱情?各种各样美好的感情我都向往。我不谈感情问题，其实也是没什么可说的，很空洞。电影、电视里的爱情和生活中的爱情不能同日而语，生活是漫长的、现实的，且需要两个人不断磨合，情形好的，就是细水长流，不好呢?就像老太太的裹脚布又臭又长。我的感情，还是那句老话，相信缘分吧。总有一天，他会出现在我的身边的。”李冰冰的爱情中有着少女的朴实和成年人的稳重，但这样完美的人该到哪里找呢?如果等不到那个人呢?!

李冰冰爱看书，并在电脑普遍流行的时候保持着每天用笔写日记的习惯，记那些沉闷的事情对她来说是一种乐趣。付出总有回报，我相信这个精灵一样的女子，会用她的个性坚持着自自然然，坚持着轻轻松松。

Changes Change Beauty into Film Star

By Zhao Weiwei

Li Bingbing is a high-profile film actress in China today. Born into a family in a nondescript county town in the north, her first childhood dream was to become a singer when she grew up. But later she dreamed of being a shop assistant: all buyers had to hand her money before they could get anything from her. Looking back at her earlier life in the county town, she observed that college was the ultimate dream for all the kids in the town during that time. She believed that she would have been a music teacher in the town today if she had not been encouraged to become an actress.

After she entered the Shanghai Theatrical Academy, she began to appear in commercials. These small opportunities opened a window for her to see the world. The girl from a rural town finally saw the life ahead of her. She began to appear in films and television series.

Li Bingbing never believes that her success comes from luck. "I always believe that my talent will shine one day. If people insist that my success yields from luck, I won't bother to argue it away. But I feel that it is not luck. I have been going all out for opportunities. Small things added up and unintentionally I am in the business. I treasure every opportunity. So long as I do something right this time, I am sure I can wait for the next turn."

Li Bingbing works hard. When she first arrived at the filming location for A World Without Thieves, the altitude reaction made her unable to leave the bed for three days and nights. The first time she was supposed to walk on a steel wire for a kongfu film, she dared not stand up on the wire. One day she was stricken with a severe back pain at the filming location, she cried but never complained. When it was her turn to shoot, she acted energetically as if nothing had been wrong. In another movie, she was wrapped with a bomb. When she fell by a road, a car dashed over her feet. In another movie, wearing a pair of 10-cm heeled leather boots, she did a stunt on the instrument panel and tank of a motorbike.

Li Bingbing has starred in a number of high-profile films and TV plays. In 1998, in a highly successful television series entitled Poems of Grand Brightness Palace, she appeared as a princess, arrogant and domineering, and distraught by her hatred. Though the role was not the big one, her performance was impressive. Since 2002, she has appeared in a year-end movie per year categorized by news media as New Year Celebration movies. Some journalists wonder why she is so popular with different directors for this kind of movies. Li Bingbing says that she has no special relations with directors. She jokes that probably she was chosen for her happy pretty face suitable for festive movies. "My performance makes directors think I am an actress worthy my art," she reckoned. The latest New Year movie was A World Without Thieves in 2005.

Li Bingbing appeared in Spring Festival directed by Zhang Yuan in 1999. Before the shooting started, the cast director approached her for the role of Tao Lan, a girl who accidentally killed her stepfather's daughter for a dispute over 5 yuan. Seventeen years later, still in prison, Tao got a chance to go home for the family reunion during the Spring Festival. As Li Bingbing was still in the middle of the television series Poems of Grand Brightness Palace, she declined the invitation. But the cast director asked her again later if she was willing to take the role of a prison guard in the same movie as the chosen actress was found not suitable for the role. Li accepted the challenge. Unexpectedly, this film won her the best actress award at the Singapore International Film Festival.

The latest one will be big-time Dragon Squad, set to release in Hong Kong in September 2005. In the action thriller, she partners with Michael Biehn.

Li Bingbing is by no means a perfectionist, though many people who know her believe she is. Nor is she after "in" things. She says she is not particularly fond of any coffee brand. Nor does she use a particular perfume. She never hangs out in a caf?or a teahouse unless there is a business appointment. In her spare time she reads books and pens a diary when everyone else writes on computer.
