Become an Oscar-winning actress! Quan Daoyan asserted, "Winning the award won't change anything." Lee Cangdong's gentle move made people laugh

South Korea's "Cannes Best Actress" Jeon Do-yeon once again collaborated with famous director Lee Chang-dong after 19 years, starring in the Netflix movie "If Love Is If". She will star in the same stage with four Korean stars Seol Kyung-gu, Jo In-sung and Cho Yeo-jung, making her expected by foreign media to compete for the Best Actress Oscar next year.

In the face of high expectations from the outside world, Quan Daoyan calmly said in an exclusive interview with Korean media: "Winning or not winning the award is not important." She even bluntly said that even if she really wins the statuette, she will not become another actor. She cared more about director Lee Cang-dong's praise than the Oscar. She even couldn't help but ask the director face to face after the premiere at the Venice Film Festival: "Did I really perform well?"

Quan Daoyan talked about the enthusiastic praise received by "If Love Is If" after its release, and admitted that it was actually quite unexpected. She recalled that the filming process this time was completely different from that of "Dark Sun" 19 years ago. Back then, in order to interpret the character, she always went all out and tried to interpret the character perfectly. Now she has learned to let go of her obsession with acting and act naturally according to the emotions of the character.

To her surprise, Li Cangdong, who has always given a serious impression, actually filled the set with laughter this time. "I also want to say, can director Li Cangdong's filming scene be so relaxed? Can there really be so much laughter?" She described this filming as like going through a healing journey, but because it went so smoothly, she once doubted whether she had performed well.

"If Love Is If" received warm applause after its premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Quan Daoyan was overwhelmed by the sudden praise. She even couldn't help but ask Li Cangdong before the post-screening discussion: "Did I really do a good job?" Unexpectedly, the director, who usually does not praise actors directly, actually held her hand tightly and responded gently: "Of course it was a good performance. You can watch the movie again later." After hearing this, Quan Daoyan finally gained confidence in her performance.

She revealed that after the movie was released on Netflix on November 6, she immediately re-watched it and found that the person on the screen no longer looked like Quan Daoyan who was acting, but actually lived the character "Meiyu", which made her quite satisfied.
