From a little girl in Sichuan to Baochai on the screen, to a successful woman in business in the real world, Zhang Li's story is not only a journey of personal struggle, but also a wonderful intersection of classical literature and modern life.
Born in 1965 to a family of intellectuals in Sichuan, Zhang Li has had a strong passion for dance and acting since childhood.
Her childhood slowly unfolded in dance steps and dreams.
Every corner of her home often becomes her little stage, where she imitates the dancers on TV and dances.
Mom, do you look like I dance like a dancer on TV?Xiao Zhang Li once said to her mother, a pair of eyes sparkling, full of longing for the future.
At the age of twelve, she joined the art troupe of the Chengdu Army, a step that seemed to herald her indissoluble bond with the stage.
For Zhang Li, life in the art troupe is both a challenge and an opportunity.
She has undergone rigorous physical training, a rigorous and tight daily schedule, and she has put a lot of passion into everything from dance practice to theatrical performances.
In the art troupe, every day is a new challenge. Zhang Li recalled, "We had to do more than just dance, but also learn how to express ourselves on stage." ”
During her time in the Art Troupe, Zhang Li not only exercised her dancing skills, but also cultivated her strong will and deep understanding of art.
Her talent was gradually revealed, especially during a performance of condolences to the border guards, and her performance won warm applause and recognition from the audience.
In 1985, the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" began to recruit actors across the country.
The whole casting process is full of rigor and meticulousness, and the crew is well aware of the importance of this classic work, and when selecting actors, they not only pay attention to acting skills and appearance, but also emphasize cultural literacy and understanding of the original work.
Zhang Li's joining is a dramatic process.
She was not directly selected as the actor of Xue Baochai at first, but entered the crew as a maid Zijuan. However, her unique temperament and understanding of the role caught the director's attention.
By chance, she showed a deep understanding of Xue Baochai's role and an excellent performance in the audition, which deeply moved the director and crew.
In the process, Zhang Li also encountered many challenges. When auditioning, she needs to stand out from many excellent actors and show her unique artistic charm.
During the audition process, Zhang Li's challenges were enormous. She needs to stand out from the many experienced and talented actors and show her unique artistic charm.
On the day of the audition, Zhang Li came to the crew early.
She dresses simply, but her eyes reveal determination and confidence.
When it was her turn to audition, Zhang Li took a deep breath and walked into the audition room.
Facing the camera, she not only showed her dancing talent, but also recited the classic lines in "Dream of Red Mansions" affectionately.
The director noticed every detail of her: from her eyes, her movements, to her understanding of the lines.
Zhang Li's performance is not just a copy, but gives new life to the character.
Although she was selected to play the maid Zijuan, in the eyes of the director and crew, Zhang Li's gentle and restrained temperament is more suitable for playing Xue Baochai.
Her Xue Baochai is no longer just a quiet lady, but a flesh-and-blood and emotionally rich character.
After the audition, the director praised her: "Your performance is very real and very moving. You are Xue Baochai in our minds. ”
Zhang Li was both excited and grateful, and she knew that this was an important turning point in her artistic career.
In this way, Zhang Li stood out among many outstanding actors with her own efforts and deep understanding of the role, and successfully won the role of Xue Baochai.
After a series of tests and competitions, Zhang Li was finally selected as the actor of Xue Baochai.
The acquisition of this role was not only a turning point in her personal artistic career, but also the beginning of her wonderful fate with the classic work "Dream of Red Mansions".
During the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions", Zhang Li established a deep friendship with other actors, especially Chen Xiaoxu, who played Lin Daiyu.
In the long-term cooperation between the two, they gradually cultivated a special tacit understanding and deep friendship.
Zhang Li and Chen often rehearsed together on set, shared acting experiences, and formed a deep personal friendship outside of the camera.
They play roles together, work hard together on the details of the drama, and sometimes even face life's difficulties together.
I remember one time, Zhang Li encountered a problem when performing an emotionally complex scene.
Chen Xiaoxu patiently helped her beside her, and the two analyzed the psychology of the characters together and worked together to better express their emotions.
At that moment, they are not only sisters in the play, but also confidants in real life.
Through joint efforts, Zhang Li finally completed that scene wonderfully.
In addition, Zhang Li has also established a good relationship with other actors.
In between intense filming, they often get together to discuss the plot of the drama and share interesting stories about life, and these moments have become their precious memories.
Through these daily interactions, Zhang Li has established a deep friendship and team spirit with the entire cast and crew.
This experience not only enriched Zhang Li's acting career, but also allowed her to gain valuable friendship and support on the road of life.
Through working with Chen Xiaoxu and other actors, she has gained a deeper understanding of the importance of teamwork, and in the process has grown into a more mature and well-rounded artist.
After Zhang Li reached the peak of her acting career, she met her first love, Qin Yuanping, and their love story began with their shared love for art.
They gradually developed deep emotions in the communication of the art circle. However, as time passed, the two began to diverge in their career pursuits and life philosophies.
Although the relationship between them is deep, they also have to face the test of reality. In the end, due to each other's career development and different plans for the future, Zhang Li and Qin Yuanping chose to break up peacefully.
Faced with the blow of the breakup, Zhang Li chose to go abroad for further study, hoping to broaden her horizons and improve herself.
During her studies and life abroad, she experienced linguistic and cultural challenges, but with her strong will and dedication to art, she overcame many difficulties.
During this time, Zhang Li not only gained something artistically, but also unexpectedly got the opportunity to participate in the movie, which became a new starting point in her career.
However, Zhang Li eventually chose to quit the entertainment industry and devoted herself to the real estate industry instead. With her unique business acumen, she quickly rose to prominence in the business world and became a business queen worth more than 100 million.
Although Zhang Li's life trajectory is different from Xue Baochai's story, both have gone through ups and downs on the road of pursuing self-realization. Although Zhang Li has achieved great success in her career, she is still unmarried and childless, and it seems that she cannot escape the fate of "a dream of red mansions".
