The name Chen Jin is a little strange to many people, but in fact she is not only a national first-class actress, but also a veritable "Grand Slam winner".
But she has many "quirks": she hasn't eaten for 20 years, she is over 500 years old, and her love history is still blank. Because of this, she is also called "the alien in the world".
So what's the secret behind her otherness?
One,
1964 Jin Chen was born in a military family in Jinan, Shandong. And a brother who is two years older than her.
Father is very strict with them at ordinary times, and let them do things according to the rules of the army from an early age, which also contributed to Jin Chen's high degree of self-discipline.
Because grew up in the army compound, Jin Chen's personality is more like a boy, not as delicate as a girl, but more aloof.
Among the children, I feel like a grown-up, and the children in the yard don't like to play with her, but fortunately, I have a brother with the same weird personality, and the two of them have become marginal figures in the yard.
Jin Chen had a hobby of dancing since she was a child, so her mother sent her to the Children's Palace to learn dancing. Unexpectedly, her dancing career was rejected by the teacher before it started, because the image was not suitable for Jin Chen and she was packed back home.
Facing the teacher's disapproval, Jin Chen didn't flinch, but wondered what he was suitable for. Once, her mother took her to the theatre. I didn't expect to be attracted by acting at a young age and determined to become an actor.
Her family is also very supportive. Finally, Chen Jin was admitted to the drama department of Shandong University of Arts by his own efforts. After graduation, she was assigned to the Air Force Drama Troupe.
Jin Chen is very talented in acting. She once played five roles in a play, and each role was wonderful.
In the troupe, she was praised by everyone for her earnest and studious attitude and superb acting skills.
After that, Jin Chen was selected by the film director, made his first work, and then officially entered the entertainment circle.
Although the film didn't cause much sensation, because of Chen Jin's outstanding performance, she was chosen to play the leading role in "Mountain doesn't turn to water". Unexpectedly, the film became an instant hit, and she won the second prize of Flying, which is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation for her as a new actress.
After that, she won all the awards of China Watch Award, Magnolia Award and Golden Eagle Award. Although she doesn't have a pretty face, Chen Jin became the Grand Slam Queen by virtue of her tenacity.
However, she was hit by her career and sang all the way, and was rejected by the director.
Second,
Because of the pressure of filming, Chen Jin sometimes doesn't pay attention to his diet and his figure gradually begins to go out of shape, which seriously affects the photogenic effect. Although her acting skills are very good, there are fewer and fewer directors looking for her to act.
Chen Jin was once pointed out by the director when he first debuted. The director bluntly said that she was not beautiful and a little fat, so she had to control her diet, otherwise the theater would be narrow. At that time, the youthful Jin Chen didn't take it seriously at all. Now it really works.
But she finally achieved today's achievements, how can she give up easily?
So she made up her mind to lose weight. She only eats one peach a day. If she is weak, she will drink a cup of coffee and never eat rice or other staple foods. If she has time, she will also cooperate with swimming and yoga. After a period of persistence, she not only came back slim, but also returned to her role.
This also made Jin Chen deeply realize that as an actor, acting alone is not enough, and showing the basic role image is also a compulsory course for an actor. If you can't even satisfy the image of a character, even love is empty talk.
As Cai Ming once said: "If you want to eat this bowl of rice, don't eat that bowl of rice."
Slimming is not a glorious course for actors, but a compulsory course.
Chu Zhibo, an actress who has worked with her many times, is quite surprised by her eating habits and thinks it is very harmful to her health. Jin Chen joked, "Look at the monkeys, too."
No matter what others say, Jin Chen persisted for 20 years and never ate again.
During the time when Chen Jin couldn't get the play, her mother also advised her to have a facelift or double eyelids, but fortunately Chen Jin chose to lose weight instead of the latter, otherwise the entertainment circle would lose a unique face.
After losing weight successfully, Chen Jin gained a special cultural temperament, making people look like intellectuals, also known as "female version of Chen".
Both of them have works and strength, and their temperament is elegant and lofty. Standing together looks like a cultural "couple".
Old actor Chen spoke highly of his partner Jin Chen. He even said, "Many people say that I don't cooperate, but you have never cooperated with me. Only people who have worked with me are qualified to evaluate me, such as Jin Chen. ".
It is enough to see that the relationship between the two is a friend and a bosom friend who appreciates each other.
Jin Chen once appeared in Zhang Yimou's film "Golden Flower". Although she only played a sad little role, her acting skills were not inferior to those of Jay Chou and Gong Li.
Zhang Yimou even commented on her like this: "If Chen Jin plays the queen of Gong Li, he will definitely not be worse than Gong Li, and he will definitely be able to deduce a new style. Chen Jin is definitely one of the best powerful actresses in China. "
Besides Zhang Yimou, Xiaogang Feng likes her very much.
When filming the drama "Tangshan Earthquake", Xiaogang Feng thought that the role of Dong Guilan, Fontaine's foster mother, was very suitable for her, so she was invited to play, but Jin Chen refused. Later, Chen was invited to come forward to promote cooperation, and she and Chen played husband and wife again in the play.
Chen Jin lived up to expectations and played this role very well. His sharp acting brought tears to many audiences.
To know that Zhang Yimou, Xiaogang Feng and Chen Dou are leading figures in the film and television industry, and they can be so valued by these three people, I have to say that Chen Jin's business ability is really strong.
Chen Jin is still active on the screen and has become a professional for her mother-in-law.
From the literate mother in Ode to Joy to Su Mu in Everything is Fine, an annoying mother, and the powerful and cunning princess in Know?
Every role is vividly displayed. In the play, she is addicted to being a mother and a wife. However, at the age of 57, she is still alone in real life.
Third,
Jin Chen once bluntly said on a program in Lu Yu that he was an unmarried person and didn't like to rely on others.
In fact, she has already done it. In 57 years, her feelings have been completely blank and she has been immersed in her own small world.
Although let others see that she is indeed an alternative queen, she said that she had a unique sense of alienation since she was a child.
When I was young, all the children liked to wear new clothes, and the two brothers and sisters liked to wear clothes with holes. The children thought they were strange and didn't want to play with them, so the two brothers and sisters "lived together".
This sense of alienation has been accompanied by their adulthood. On one occasion, Jin Chen told her brother that she was single. I thought my brother would criticize me, but I didn't expect to agree with Jin Chen's idea and say to her: I will support you all my life.
At that time, my brother also said to Jin Chen: I will live a little longer than you, because then I can take care of you until you get old, and you won't be lonely. At that time, I heard Jin Chen's heart thumped and was very moved.
I have to say that people with artistic cells are unique and will not be bound by other people's words.
The brother and sister also told their parents what they thought. I didn't expect their parents to be very open-minded. They are not forced to get married like other families, but only care about their own happiness.
Chen Jin is over half a year old this year. Although she has no lover or children, she loves her lover and her career is booming. Although this series of operations seems a little different to others, Chen Jin is just living his own life in his own unique way. Life doesn't have to be step by step, so it's not a kind of happiness to be free and easy like her.
