The actor of Eiko is Jie Shen, a child star in the 1980s. Although he is not as famous as Ashton Chen and Xie Miao, he is still worth remembering by everyone. It has been 37 years since "Old Things in the South of the City" was broadcast. How is the naive little girl "Eiko" Jie Shen doing now?
0 1 Jie Shen was born in 1972 and first appeared on the screen at the age of 10. In the film Flash Ball directed by Song Chong, Jie Shen stood out among hundreds of children. Although Jie Shen's performance was only a simple recitation, his clever appearance directly made the director Song Chong say yes.
One summer, director Wu took a fancy to it and said to his father, "There is a film based on a woman writer's novel. Can Shen Jie play the childhood of a female writer? " . Although my father hesitated for a while, he agreed to Wu's sincere request.
That movie is one of the most classic movies of China in 1980s, which was adapted from Lin's novel Old Things in the South of the City. Golden Eagle Award for Best Feature Film, Best Supporting Actress Award, Best Director Award, etc. "Old Things in the South of the City" won almost all the major awards. This film is enough to go down in history, and Jie Shen is famous for it.
Wu's standard of judging people is still very high. "Eiko" and "Eiko" were both darlings at that time. Even today, we can still feel the innocence and beauty of a child by watching the original stills.
Old Things in the South of the City is an autobiographical memory novel by Lin. After watching his performance, Lin felt more or less what he used to look like. After watching the movie, Lin was full of expectations and frankly wanted to meet him. It is unheard of for a famous writer to ask to see a child he has never seen before.
Many people said to Lin, "This girl is very similar to you." After seeing her, Lin also felt at home, and she was very congenial and cordial. Lin He became an "old friend" and kept close correspondence for many years. To outsiders, Lin and his grandparents have a relationship, but in their hearts, they are already relatives and inseparable.
After Jie Shen became popular, he was often invited to film by the crew, as if he were a big star who made his debut for many years. But Jie Shen is just an inexperienced child. His heart and eyes are pure, but he has to go to school while filming.
Being at the peak of your career is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing to some extent, which means that you have to cross higher mountains and make greater achievements before you can usher in a breakthrough. Unfortunately, Jie Shen appeared in Shanghai Beach and No Misunderstanding one after another, and her looks and acting skills improved, but classics are always classics.
No matter how hard Jie Shen tries to show it, many people still think that the old things in the south of the city are insurmountable peaks and the most beautiful existence. Jie Shen couldn't go any further, and the climax of his debut unfortunately became the final destination.
Since we can't develop better in the mainland, let's continue to fly high in another place. 1992, Jie Shen graduated from high school and went to Japan to study alone, because he wanted to have a "more self-sky", perhaps to get rid of the trouble of "Eiko".
Shen Jie once recalled: "In fact, I am a person who is very dependent on my parents. When I was in Shanghai, I rarely even went out to play by myself. " In Tokyo, Jie Shen had to face everything alone, and he had to bite the bullet and integrate into the foreign life. Language is the biggest problem in Jie Shen. In order to communicate with others, Jie Shen specially studied Japanese for half a year.
When choosing a major, Jie Shen was very upset and hesitated for half a year. Teachers and friends advised Jie Shen to learn acting. When Jie Shen goes abroad, he also wants to continue studying art. But after talking with some lawyers, Jie Shen found that "law is a fascinating subject". No matter what others think, Jie Shen changed his major from acting to law.
During her college years, Shen Jie served as a program host introducing China culture on Japanese TV. At that moment, Shen Jie knew that "Old Things in the South of the City" was so famous in Japan.
The charm of culture has brought great shock to Jie Shen, and even made the ideas that flashed in my mind gradually have the dawn of hope, and finally took root.
After graduating from university in 2004, Jie Shen started his own business directly and started a cultural communication company, whose business is cultural exchange with the University of Tokyo. This is what the university is best at, and it is also because of the far-reaching influence brought by Lin, the original author of Old Things in the South of the City.
He stayed in Japan for 10 years. The year he returned to China was not for anything else, but for the death of Lin. Have a special fate with Lin. My grandfather is from Taiwan Province province, and Lin lives in Taiwan Province province. I have been to Japan, and Lin was born in Japan. He and Lin are very similar in life experience and personality.
Every year when he returns to Taiwan Province Province, Shen Jiehui will do two things, one is to visit his grandfather's grave, and the other is to visit Lin. In order to commemorate Lin, Lin's novel The Story of Marriage was adapted into a TV series. On that occasion, Jie Shen returned to the film and television circle, but not as an actor, but as a director and producer.
On September 2019 14, Wu, the director of the film Old Things in the South of the City, passed away. Famous media people sighed with emotion: "After reading the old things in the south of the city, I can't forget Xiaoying's eyes, nor can I forget Wu's indifference and poetry." Peng Gan also revealed: "Today, Jie Shen is the mother of two children. She has settled in Tokyo and worked as an artistic director in a domestic film and television company. " .
Today, Jie Shen is 48 years old and middle-aged, but her eyes are still clear, which still reminds people of the original "Eiko". Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the "Eiko" of that year was already a wife and mother with a happy family. Jie Shen's daughter is more like Eiko, and has a very similar appearance. Perhaps this simple and happy life is what Jie Shen really needs.
Although the child stars in Jie Shen have made their debut, they have not embarked on the road of great success, but behind the scenes of transformation, they have ordinary and proud careers. Jie Shen is living the life he likes now, which may be the difference of thoughts in those years. At that time, "Eiko" was the most shining moment in Jie Shen's life, but it was also a moment of happiness and luck.
Old stories in the south of the city are hard to present. "Things are wrong" may be everyone's feeling, or it may be the last sentence of "farewell", which is true for "Eiko" and Shen Jie.
