In May 2007, Zhang Li, the actor of Xue Baochai, was having dinner with friends in Canada, and at this time, the friend said a news with great difficulty.
Chen Xiaoxu passed away.
This made Zhang Li suddenly stupid in place, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, at this time her tears had already blurred her eyes, and she kept thinking in her mind, this is not true, this must not be true.
After receiving a positive reply from her friend, Zhang Li couldn't hold back her crying anymore, and she couldn't even eat well.
She immediately bought a ticket to return to China and rushed to Chen Xiaoxu's funeral.
She didn't expect that Chen Xiaoxu would die early like Lin Daiyu in the book.
And in "Dream of Red Mansions", the sentence "It's a pity to stop the morality, and it's pitiful." The jade belt hangs in the forest, and the golden hairpin is buried in the snow. The verdict not only stated Lin Daiyu's ending, but also hinted at Xue Baochai's future.
Zhang Li, who has always been unmarried and single, will she be the same as Chen Xiaoxu and live a realistic version of Xue Baochai's life?
The source in this article is from "Guangming Net", November 14, 2022, but in order to improve the readability of the article, the details may be polished, please read sensibly, for reference only!
In fact, Zhang Li didn't have the idea of starring in "Dream of Red Mansions" at the beginning, she went with her friends.
At that time, her friend made an appointment for an interview with the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", and Zhang Li accompanied her friend to participate in the interview.
At that time, it happened to be a cold winter and the weather was very cold, Zhang Li wrapped a big scarf, and only one pair of eyes were exposed, but it was these smart eyes that attracted the director.
It was very hot in the room for the interview, only Zhang Li was wrapped in a thick scarf, and director Wang Fulin walked over and asked, why didn't he take off the scarf when it was so hot in the room.
After listening to it, Zhang Li took off her scarf very embarrassedly, and a delicate face was revealed, and the director saw that she had an elegant temperament, which was very in line with the role of "Dream of Red Mansions" in his mind, so he kept her.
However, at the beginning, the director did not arrange a very certain role for her, but she felt that Zhang Li seemed to be very suitable for the role of Yingchun.
So after Zhang Li joined the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", she followed the crew and other actors to learn manners. Read "Dream of Red Mansions" and learn a lot of things.
During this time, Zhang Li met a friend who was very important to her, Chen Xiaoxu.
Chen Xiaoxu joined the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", completely rushing to Dream of Red Mansions, and at the beginning she wrote a letter of recommendation to the director, thinking that she was very suitable for playing the role of Lin Daiyu.
And after she arrived at the crew, the director wanted her to try other roles, but Chen Xiaoxu said that if I was asked to play other roles, the audience would only think that Lin Daiyu played someone else.
Chen Xiaoxu, who has such a unique personality, has become good friends with the gentle Zhang Li who talks about everything, Zhang Li is just a pity that the role of Yingchun played by herself does not seem to have too many rivalry with Chen Xiaoxu.
But soon, an accident happened to the crew.
The actor who was determined to play Xue Baochai left the crew because of some things, and in this way, the role of Xue Baochai became vacant, and it was not long before filming started.
The director has a headache for this, Xue Baochai is an important role in "Dream of Red Mansions", and it is undoubtedly very difficult to find the most suitable person in the shortest possible time.
In order to find a suitable candidate as soon as possible, the director asked actors who had not yet decided on the role to audition for Xue Baochai, including the actor Yuan Mei who attacked later, the actor Cheng Mei of Yuan Chun and so on.
But the effect is not satisfactory, they are good-looking, but they are not the same as Xue Baochai in the director's mind, and finally it was Zhang Li's turn to audition for Xue Baochai, and the director's eyes lit up after seeing it.
Dignified, atmospheric, and elegant, she is really a beauty with red lips and green eyebrows, the director is happy, Xue Baochai has finally found someone.
And Zhang Li is also very happy, firstly, Xue Baochai is one of the three most important characters in "Dream of Red Mansions", and has a lot of rivalry with her friend Chen Xiaoxu.
However, since Zhang Li joined the group, she has been studying the role of Yingchun, and suddenly changed people, in order to adapt to the role as soon as possible, Zhang Li studied the role of Xue Baochai without sleep and food, and only hoped that she could live up to expectations and perform a successful Xue Baochai.
Facts have proved that she succeeded, after the broadcast of "Dream of Red Mansions", Xue Baochai played by her is completely a character who came out of the book, vivid, and can be called "the most beautiful Baochai".
However, because the role of Xue Baochai was too successful, Zhang Li fell into a huge distress while gaining fame and fortune.
Zhang Li found that no matter how she went, others called her name, no longer Zhang Li, but Xue Baochai, or Sister Bao.
She seems to have lost her name and was forced to live Xue Baochai's life.
After that, in order to break through herself, Zhang Li played several roles and performed with all her heart.
But every time it is broadcast, the audience doesn't recognize it, in their opinion, it is Xue Baochai's cameo.
Zhang Li was helpless, but she wanted to engage in literature and art very much, because she stepped into the road of literature and art at a very young age.
Although Zhang Li's family is very traditional and her family education is also very strict, it does not prevent Zhang Li from developing her hobbies, and at the age of 12, she entered the Chengdu Zhanqi Song and Dance Troupe as a literary soldier.
The song and dance troupe worked very hard and had to perform everywhere, and even climbed the Himalayas many times to give wonderful performances to the border guards there.
On the one hand, Zhang Li practiced hard, and on the other hand, at a young age, she followed the song and dance troupe to perform in various difficult places, which invisibly developed a resolute character.
Until she later participated in "Dream of Red Mansions", Zhang Li thought that Xue Baochai's success could take her career to the next level, but she directly entered the bottleneck and was difficult to progress.
As long as she stands there, in her opinion, she is Zhang Li, but in the eyes of others, she is Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai was so successful, so successful that Zhang Li couldn't be herself, in order to be able to break through herself, she decisively chose to change careers.
She said that she didn't want to be under the aura of Baochai, she just wanted to live silently.
couldn't act, so Zhang Li changed careers and began to study directing and production, and after finishing college in China, Zhang Li went to Canada alone to study abroad.
However, studying abroad requires a large amount of money, and Zhang Li wants to work part-time to earn living expenses after studying, but she has repeatedly hit a wall.
Even if she wanted to work as a waitress in a restaurant, Zhang Li was turned away, and the reason given by the other party was that she had no relevant work experience, so she did not accept it.
Fortunately, Zhang Li met a good teacher, and her teacher heard about Zhang Li's embarrassment and decided to help her.
Her teacher helped Zhang Li apply for a scholarship from the school, although the scholarship was not particularly much, but it was enough as living expenses.
In this way, Zhang Li spent her days studying in Canada, and in order to earn more money to support herself, she chose to shoot movies.
With the help of friends, in 1991, Zhang Li used herself as the material to shoot a film reflecting Chinese students, but she didn't expect the film to win awards and let Zhang Li get a permanent residence permit in Canada.
You must know that at that time, it was very difficult to get a permanent residence permit in Canada, and the conditions were harsh, and there were many female international students around Zhang Li, and in order to obtain this residence permit, they even married an old man much older than themselves, and they were not happy.
So Zhang Li is very fortunate and knows the value of this residence permit, and she has become more independent because of it.
After that, Zhang Li began to devote herself to business, and in order to earn her own living expenses, she opened a company by herself.
Because it was the first time to open a company, Zhang Li began to study economics again, dealing with company affairs during the day and studying at night.
But through Zhang Li's efforts, the company's income is very good, which can just support her and her employees' daily expenses.
Zhang Li is very business-minded, and she turned her attention to real estate, and although she has also experienced many setbacks, she has become a small success, and the outside world is rumored to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Zhang Li didn't deny it, but just said that it was awarded.
Although Zhang Li's career is developing well, her love life has been stagnant.
There are many paparazzi who say that she is married and even adopted, but every time Zhang Li stands up and clarifies, saying that she is not currently married, she is still single, she has no children, and she lives alone.
Although she wanted to get out of Xue Baochai's world, she was trapped in it all her life, and after Chen Xiaoxu's death, Zhang Li was almost grief-stricken, and we can see from her Weibo that she has not come out yet.
Every year on Chen Xiaoxu's birthday, she will post a message to commemorate it, as if she is also nostalgic for her past self.
"Dream of Red Mansions" has such a judgment for Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai: It is a pity to be virtuous, and it is pitiful. The jade belt hangs in the forest, and the golden hairpin is buried in the snow.
Some people believe that this sentence is the prophecy of the ending of the two hairpins, and the "golden hairpin buried in the snow" has great meaning.
Generally speaking, the golden hairpin is two strands, which means that it is in pairs, and the golden hairpin is one strand, and the word golden hairpin is specially chosen, which just illustrates the ending of Xue Baochai's loneliness.
And what about Zhang Li?
People say that life is like a play, and drama is like life, Zhang Li has been trapped in this prison because of her role as Xue Baochai, hoping that she can break her fate and truly live as herself.
