An actor, after explaining the role, hopes that the audience will remember, be moved and recognize his performance. What he needs to pay is all the true feelings, the whole person's investment in the role, and even forcing himself to be in the role for a long time. Only in this way can he have explosive acting skills and be affirmed.
Director Li, who participated in Actor in Place, made this impressive remark after losing control after watching Zhao Wei's performance "Fuck off, Tumor Jun". She said:
At that time, Zhou Xun was depressed after filming Baby in Love and couldn't get out of the role for a while.
As a Grand Slam winner, Zhou Xun won various awards such as Golden Statue, Golden Horse, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers. Her acting skills and strength should not be underestimated. In addition to these external aura and high value of divine food, Zhou Xun has made great efforts behind the scenes like ordinary actors.
0 1 Zhou Xun, born in a noble family, 1974 was born in Quzhou, Zhejiang.
Zhou Xun was born in a very ordinary family. His father is an artist and poster painter in the local cinema. His mother works as a salesgirl in a department store.
Zhou Xun is the only child in the family.
In 2002, one of Zhou Jia's daughters grew up to be Zhou Xun, whose original name was Mimi Ka, with her childhood agility in her name.
As his father works in the cinema, Zhou Xun has been a frequent visitor to the cinema since he was three years old. She ate and slept in the cinema and watched all the Chinese and foreign movies at that time, even a movie several times.
Although she was young, she couldn't understand what the movie was showing at that time, but she thought it was very interesting to make movies since she was a child.
This is probably the power I have come into contact with. The film enlightenment he received in the cinema as a child laid the foundation for Zhou Xun to embark on the road of deduction in the future.
Zhou Xun, who lives in Quzhou, likes spicy food since he was a child because his hometown is near Jiangxi.
Although she was born in Jiangnan, Zhou Xun was more playful and rebellious than Jiangnan girls since she was a child.
Mom smiled and recalled that Zhou Xun was like a boy when he was a child, and he didn't like to wear skirts.
After primary school, Zhou Xun lost weight and stuttered. Every time the teacher asks someone to read the text, she dares not raise her hand. If the name is called, she will blush because she stutters.
Recalling this childhood experience, Zhou Xun lamented that his favorite story was The King's Speech, because the little princess in it stuttered like her.
From 65438 to 0986, Zhou Xun went to junior high school and got poor grades in culture class. In the second day of junior high school, her mother took her to take the art school entrance examination for a rainy day. The whole process went smoothly unexpectedly, and finally Zhou Xun was admitted smoothly.
He was admitted to Zhou Xun, majoring in folk dance in Zhejiang Art School, and studied there for three years from 65438 to 0989.
For three years, she practiced folk dance hard every day, and stayed in the practice room except for class time. In addition, she also makes mannequins for students in art classes. The sweat that flowed through her gained Zhou Xun's unique temperament and melted into her bones.
Expressiveness and exposure contributed to the rapid growth of young Zhou Xun. In the China market in the late 1980s and early 1990s, beauty art photo calendars were very popular. Later, a photographer found Zhou Xun and asked her to be a calendar model.
The photographer recalled:
I went to Zhejiang Art School to choose a model and met this girl at the gate of the dance classroom. Her skin is dark, thin and small, and the proportion of her face is still a little large, but her eyes are full of drama, expecting brightness and brilliance. ...
Zhou Xun takes calendar photos, and one photo can get ten or twenty dollars. At that time, she was just 16 years old, and she was able to pay tuition and save living expenses with her own money.
Qu Ying, who was a model in Beijing at that time, was also a part-time calendar model. She and Zhou Xun are both named after the calendar, and they are called "North and South Zhou Xun" in the calendar modeling field.
199 1 year, Director Xie Tieli will make a film "Tomb Raid" adapted from Liaozhai. At that time, there was an actor whose role as "Little Fox" was undecided. Later, Xie Tieli found Zhou Xun with big eyes in a calendar, and the aura that flashed between her brow made Xie Tieli recognize the role of "Little Fox" as her. Later, after some twists and turns, Xie Tieli found Zhou Xun, who was still at school, and invited her to shoot The Tomb of Famine.
Zhou Xun, who has never studied acting, is unique in the film, but he has successfully shaped the role. The fox she plays is full of gas, lively and clever, which has become the highlight of the film.
04 19 years old, broke into Beijing for love. After seven years of exploration, she finally won the first Best Actress, 199 1 year. After filming Tomb Raider, Zhou Xun returned to school to continue her studies. In a blink of an eye, it's time to graduate. After graduation, Zhou Xun came to Beijing again.
In Sanlitun, Zhou Xun met Zhu Mingming, who graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music, and they developed from friends who talked about everything into lovers. However, Zhou Xun's shooting made Lei Ming very resistant. In the end, it broke up in discord, and then Zhou Xun returned to Hangzhou.
During his stay in Hangzhou, Zhou Xun wandered in the biggest nightclub at that time and lived a life of walking in caves. He earns 70 yuan a month, but he also lives comfortably.
During 1993, Zhou Xun met Dou Wei's cousin Dou Peng while performing in Hangzhou. Dou Peng is a shy musician, but his heart is crazy. Zhou Xun came to Beijing again for her boyfriend Dou Peng and started drifting north.
Zhou Xun, who returned to Beijing again, still sang in hotels for a living. Sometimes three songs can earn 150 yuan. Every time she goes on stage, she has to put up with wearing a poor quality dress to perform.
1993, Zhou Xun made the film "The Story of the Lounge", in which she played a rich girl who had fallen into the dust. This play can be regarded as Zhou Xun's first work. Although she was less than 20 years old at that time, she tried to look like a famous prostitute in her eyes in order to play a good role.
From 65438 to 0994, director Xie Yan got to know Zhou Xun through magazines and asked her to film Daughter Red. At that time, in the film, she played Zhou Xun with Gui Yalei in different periods. Because the film was shortlisted for the Golden Horse Award, she was nominated for the first time in her career.
65438-0995, Zhou Xun participated in the urban comedy Little Wife. In this TV play, she plays a girl who follows the rules, Yang Yang. Zhou Xun, 2 1 year-old, lost a lot of weight at this time. Wearing a sea soul suit and a cap, the elf is cute and refreshing.
In the same year, Zhou Xun, who was already famous in the circle, was invited by director Chen Kaige to audition for Romance. Although Feng Hsu, the producer at that time, and Chen Kaige, the director, were very optimistic about Zhou Xun, in the end, she didn't play the leading role, but played a little dancer in it. But this experience has greatly improved her acting skills.
Leslie Cheung and Gong Li are the protagonists in the movie Romantic Moon. Both of them are excellent actors at textbook level. As a nonprofessional Zhou Xun, being able to stay in a film crew with such a big coffee has benefited a lot. When Leslie Cheung and Gong Li went against each other, Zhou Xun stole the teacher. Zhou Xun, who has been in the crew for half a year, has seen how a good actor acts. When she saw the scene of Gong Li pushing mahjong with his hand, she really realized that his hand could also act. In this way, her acting skills were stimulated and improved step by step.
From 65438 to 0998, Zhou Xun continued to play a supporting role in films directed by Chen Kaige. This time, she played a "blind girl". In the same year, Zhou Xun played Shen Pei, a drug-addicted daughter, in the TV series Red Prescription, and competed with Xi Meijuan, who played her mother.
Xi Meijuan said: "Before filming this scene, the director quietly told me that when you are really fed up, you can slap her in the face and ask me not to tell her. She didn't know before the performance. " This slap directly fanned Zhou Xun to the bed.
Twenty years later, recalling the scene at that time, Zhou Xun said: "I was directly fooled."
Xi Meijuan praised Zhou Xun's aura in performance, saying that the sixth sense can highly control some people's behaviors, and Zhou Xun has a very good sense of control in this respect.
For Zhou Xun, this slap was not only to help him bring out the real reaction at that time, but more importantly, to let Zhou Xun, who was still a newcomer at that time, feel the power of real performance and emotion.
Zhou Xun said, "This has always influenced my later performances. For example, when some people have to react like this, I will tell my opponent first, that is, you really hit me, otherwise I will not be able to get out. "
Zhou Xun's first best actress was also won by 1998.
This year, Zhou Xun starred in the romantic film Suzhou Creek directed by the sixth generation director Lou Ye, and won the title of Best Actress at 15 Paris International Film Festival.
In the movie, she plays two roles, one is a pure-hearted girl Peony, and the other is a bad girl Meimei who smokes and drinks at night. Both characters are brilliant and lifelike under Zhou Xun's interpretation.
Zhou Xun won the first film in her life, and she was even going to wear jeans and a T-shirt to receive the prize. She recalled that she was reminded not to wear jeans to receive the prize before going on stage, so she bought a skirt of 200 yuan temporarily. The moment she got on the podium, her legs kept shaking.
Zhou Xun, whose career is full of flowers, has suffered emotional setbacks. Also in 1998, Dou Peng, who was dissatisfied with Zhou Xun's frequent acting, broke up with Zhou Xun.
"Suzhou Creek" not only brought Zhou Xun career achievements, but also made her start a brief love affair with the film's protagonist Hongshen Jia. However, their love affair only lasted 1 year, then turned from hot to cold and finally died.
After Suzhou Creek, Zhou Xun's popularity quickly opened and his career started all the way.
In 2005, she signed a contract with Rong Xinda to be an empty cup actress. After Suzhou Creek became famous, Zhou Xun was lucky enough to take part in the TV series "Ci of Daming Palace" directed by Li. In the play, her roles as teenagers Taiping and Zhou Xun are unforgettable.
After the cooperation of TV series, Zhou Xun immediately signed a contract with Rong Xinda and Li, his brokerage companies, to become their actors.
Li recalled that the brokerage contract signed with Zhou Xun at that time was the only one in China, because there was no precedent for reference. They pondered for two months before they drafted the contract and gave it to Zhou Xun, who signed it without looking at it. Since then, Zhou Xun's ability has been fully exercised and improved in this company which has the ability to produce domestic first-class film and television dramas. And Li also gave her one of the most important promises:
Don't worry about anything else, just take a good picture.
In 2000, Zhou Xun merged with Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Wei and Xu to form four Little Hua Dan.
Then from 2000 to 2002, Zhou Xun starred in a series of good plays, such as April Day on Earth, Fog Like Rain Like Wind, Orange, etc. She grew up in the role and conquered the audience with excellent acting skills.
Also in 2000, during the filming of the TV series "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", Zhou Xun forged an "extraordinary" friendship with Chen Kun, who was also in the drama.
A few weeks ago, at zero o'clock on Zhou Xun's birthday, Chen Kun once again sent his best wishes in the Weibo. This is the tenth consecutive year that he insisted on celebrating Zhou Xun's birthday at zero. Netizens all said with emotion:
Zhou Xun's n predecessors are not as good as a Chen Kun.
In the talk show, when asked about their relationship, Chen Kun replied:
My relationship with Xiao Xun is a kind of love, what is love, but I hope you are well, I don't have to think about anything. I love all of you, but I can't get rid of it. It's a bit like the love of brothers and sisters.
Zhou Xun said:
The biggest difference between love for Chen Kun and love for boyfriend is that there is no requirement. Without requirements, there is no bondage, and it is very comfortable to get along with.
Some feelings, such as Chen Kun and Zhou Xun, are really clear and moving without packaging or interest binding.
Around 2000, Zhou Xun not only became the heroine of TV series, but also began to make a difference in movies.
200 1 Zhou Xun won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress for her Hong Kong film A Hollywood.
In 2002, Zhou Xun appeared in the film Balzac and the Little Tailor.
In the same year, Zhou Xun also starred in the film bloom at that time directed by Gao. Through this film, Zhou Xun got to know the singer Pu Shu, and they had a brief love affair.
Because she fell in love with Pu Shu, Zhou Xun abandoned the heavy makeup that had appeared in front of the media cameras before. She and Pu Shu often appear in public in simple lovers' clothes, and Zhou Xun has become a young woman in literature and art. ..
However, because the career is on the rise, we usually get together less and leave more, and finally we have no choice but to break up, but fortunately we are still friends after breaking up. In 2004, when Pu Shu released his new album, Zhou Xun was there and played the heroine in the single MV.
In 2003, Zhou Xun took over the TV series Legend of the Condor Heroes and played the role of Huang Rong. He fell in love with Li, who played opposite Guo Jing in the play. But not long after Li and Faye Wong got married, Zhou Xun was deeply hurt.
In 2004, Zhou Xun met the stylist Li Daqi through his friend Rene Liu and fell in love with him. This relationship lasted for five years.
From 2004 to 2005, Zhou Xun starred in a series of literary romantic films, including Baby in Love directed by Li.
And if love directed by Chen Kexin.
In 2006, he signed a contract with Huayi Brothers, and the 30-year-old Yan value can still play and maintain the peak of his career. In 2006, Zhou Xun signed a contract with Huayi.
At that time, Huayi had successfully transformed into a media group and became the industry leader.
Under the banner of Huayi, Zhou Xun not only made well-known achievements in popular TV series, but also got more opportunities to play on the big screen.
From 2006 to 2009, a series of films such as The Banquet, Li Mi's Guess, The Painted Skin and The Wind made her the first actress to win a grand slam in China.
Behind this impressive achievement is Zhou Xun's accumulation and dedication of taking the crew as the teacher and the school as the school, integrating life and shooting, and taking actors, directors and staff as mentors.
Guo Fu Chen described Zhou Xun as saying:
Some people use their brains in acting, others use their bodies, and she uses her internal organs.
In order to play the characters in Baby in Love, Zhou Xun worked as an intern in the Department of Neurology, Beijing Anding Hospital. After the performance, he became a mental derangement. After 1 year, she didn't come out of the role until she was in a daze, playing music, doing housework and washing dishes every day.
In "Painted Skin", Zhou Xun runs barefoot on the weeds covered with gravel, and his feet are bleeding. The staff advised her to put on socks, but she refused, saying that wearing socks could not find that urgent mood.
Behind the genius and aura, not all fell from the sky. Zhou Xun has more unknown contributions.
Zhou Xun himself said, "I'm still trying. Seriously, I'm not dead. "
When solo set up his studio in 2007, it was not easy to be an actor. 20 10 Zhou Xun takes over the 3D movie flying swords of dragon gate.
In the same year, her contract with Huayi Brothers expired, and Zhou Xun left her old club where she signed for four years.
20 1 1 Zhou Xun successively filmed The Great Magician, The Painted Skin 2, Cloud Map and The Listener, all of which were produced by excellent teams and achieved remarkable results.
20 13 Zhou Xun meets Gao Shengyuan and establishes a love relationship. In 20 14, they entered the marriage hall smoothly.
After a period of uncontrollable love, Zhou Xun can walk into the marriage hall hand in hand with her lover, and everyone who likes her is willing to send blessings. In the past, when she faced emotional injury, her sincere attitude towards love became one of the reasons why everyone loved her.
In order to make up for the regret of refusing to star in Empresses in the Palace, Zhou Xun returned to the small screen on 20 14 and starred in the TV series Red Sorghum. In the same year, a literary film "When is the Bright Moon" was filmed?
20 17, Zhou Xun plays the heroine Yi Ru in the costume drama Ruyi Palace.
After the broadcast of Love in Ruyi Palace, Zhou Xun was ridiculed by everyone for playing Ruyi when he was young. Her aging, stiff expression, wrinkles on her face, and the performance that doesn't match the age of the role made her vomit to pieces.
In an interview, Zhou Xun admitted that she was not happy during the two years from filming When is the Bright Moon to filming Ruyi Palace. I feel sad every day, thinking that I will get old and lose my face value. She even gets up every morning and sits on the sofa and wants to cry even on sunny days. Zhou Xun said that she was not ready to face aging.
As early as 2004, when Zhou Xun was 30 years old, when she saw her 24-year-old self in Daming Palace's poems, she shed tears and said, "At that time, I was so young!" However, 30-year-old Zhou Xun, whose face value is still online, took her time.
Now, facing the dilemma of his acting career, Zhou Xun is not calm. She wants to struggle and set an example. Finally, Zhou Xun had such self-redemption.
20 18 starred in Hello, China directed by Japanese director Shunji Iwai, in which Zhou Xun played an ordinary mother, which was the first time she played the role of a mother on the screen.
When the reporter asked Zhou Xun if she had got rid of anxiety now, she said frankly that because it was the first time to face aging, no one could say that I had completely passed it at once, which required a process. But when you think it over, you will know what to do next.
20 19 The film Silence, starring Zhou Xun, Wu Zhenyu and Zu Feng, explores the origin of family and the affection between parents and children. In the play, she still plays a mother.
We have seen Zhou Xun's concessions and compromises on age and aging.
But what remains unchanged is her persistence and love for the career of actors.
20 18, Zhou Xun released the first video memory "Zhou Xun". On earth. " In this memory movie, you can hear Zhou Xun calling on the audience to care for their parents.
She said: "As long as you come into this world, you will have your parents, or your biological parents, or your parents who raised you. We turn our heads to see the people closest to us, whether we really know them, and whether we really know what they want most. I think there are many things in our lives that need to be discussed, but this is a very important part. "
It can be seen that Zhou Xun, 45, has been forging ahead in her career, and now she has become more grounded and more stable.
It is true that the pursuit of acting career has made her stand on the peak of her life. But life is long, but Zhou Xun is also a smart person. She turned around in time to adapt to the present and let her live more calmly and comfortably.
As Zhou Xun herself said, one of the lessons she has been learning over the years is to accept herself:
I used to be too young to correct myself, but now, I am slowly beginning to accept myself. In fact, accepting yourself is very happy. I think the more I can accept myself, the happier I will be.
What you want to fight is not the whole world, but yourself. When you accept yourself, the whole world is actually accepting you.
Zhou Xun was born for acting, so you can be sure that Zhou Xun will continue to act. I believe she will find a more suitable role and do better in the future.
Compared with a person's life, the glory of the past 30 years is only a glimpse. As long as Zhou Xun, who is brave, fearless and sincere, is still here, she can set out at any time and move towards her sure future.
