The actress Zhang Jingchu, who won the title of actress at the age of 23, not only has outstanding appearance, but also good acting skills.
It's been a long time since she's heard her name.
The last time she was mentioned was late last year, when she was ridiculed for promoting a vegetarian diet in a documentary.
The reason why she is questioned is not only because she advocates vegetarian sports, but also because she claimed in an interview that she has not eaten beef for more than 20 years, but was exposed by netizens to eat various meats such as mutton, chicken and seafood in **.
Aren't other animals animals too?Is it only emotional beef that is an animal?
Of course, this sister has been completely discredited since she was favored by the 5th generation of leading directors at that time, and she has been inseparable from all kinds of lace news.
An actress who was once peerless, but now she is in a predicament where she has no drama to film, who has she offended?
In 1980, in the beautiful Yong'an County, Fujian Province, an ordinary family welcomed their second child.
Since the parents already have a son, they are full of expectations that the child will be a girl.
Under the expectation of his parents and brother, Zhang Jingchu came to the world.
The parents wanted their daughter to be quiet and elegant, so they named her Zhang Jing.
As soon as Zhang Jingchu was weaned, she was sent to her grandmother's house in the countryside because her parents were busy with work.
When Xiao Jing was young, she lived in the countryside with her grandmother.
Every day, she spends her days with the friends she has met in the local area, either climbing trees to pick wild fruits, or going down to the river to fish, and occasionally chasing small animals around the mountains and fields with nothing to do.
Grandma's kind smiling face is always available when you get home, no matter how crazy you are playing outside.
Until the age of 5, he lived without worries.
Xiao Jingchu grew up to school age and had to return to her parents.
For this young child, a home that he hadn't set foot in years was clearly unfamiliar.
Despite the love of her parents and brother, she still misses spending time with her grandmother in the countryside.
Growing up in the countryside, Zhang Jingchu was Xi to life in the wild, so he was not adapted to life in the city at first. Before the age of 5, she was at a loss for city life.
She is different from the girls in the neighborhood, she wears a skirt and braids, and she is quiet and well-behaved.
Zhang Jingchu has always been a lively and active person, she is running around every day, especially likes to play with boys, and sometimes even more naughty than boys.
The mother felt a headache because of this, and even thought that she had another son.
In order to train Zhang Jingchu to become the model girl her parents expected, she was forced to Xi learn many skills and specialties under her mother's strict teaching.
Her mother's expectations for her propelled Zhang Jingchu to embark on a different path in life.
When Zhang Jingchu was 15 years old, with a yearning for an independent and free life, he did not hesitate to choose to study in Fuzhou, which is hundreds of kilometers away from home.
Zhang Jingchu studied in a normal art college, majoring in kindergarten art.
At that time, the youngest student in the class was Zhang Jingchu.
She is very excited about boarding life.
Zhang Jingchu has begun to happily think about how to spend her living expenses freely and carefully arrange her long-awaited independent life, while the rest of the students are still immersed in the sorrow of leaving home and adjusting to their new life.
The reality of the situation is far from the abundance of the vision.
A 15-year-old girl in the prime of her youth spends her days wondering how to dress up.
Zhang Jingchu spent money like running water, causing him to become destitute at the end of the month.
Her older classmates in the dormitory couldn't stand it anymore and offered to take charge of her meal tickets.
At the beginning of each month, make a one-month living budget for Zhang Jingchu and make sure that food expenses are included.
Perhaps, like most of her classmates, Zhang Jingchu may choose to return to kindergarten after graduation, or become an ordinary art teacher.
Next, she may enter the palace of marriage, and then give birth and live an ordinary life.
However, she is Zhang Jingchu, a girl whose heart is full of various fantasies and is uneasy about the status quo.
Zhang Jingchu seems to have pinned her dreams on the distance, she not only has ideals, but also has mastered some methods.
Zhang Jingchu had been assigned a job, but he was worried that his parents would not agree, so he first lied that he had been admitted to the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts.
After receiving financial support from her parents, she went north alone and began her life in the north.
It is not easy to survive in Sijiu City, a place where every inch of land is valuable.
Zhang Jingchu didn't have much money at first, so she could only choose to rent a basement.
Beijing's cold and dry is far less warm and comfortable than Fujian's, and the basements are damp and dark, with no sunlight all year round.
Zhang Jingchu did not flinch, when she saw a long-haired girl at the gate of Nortel with a drawing board on her back and got into a taxi, she knew that this time the intention was not in vain.
Zhang Jingchu initially chose to be an auditor in Nortel's makeup class because she has a rich foundation in art.
While learning Xi makeup, she was also able to use the makeup skills she learned to earn some living expenses.
She persevered for two years and finally decided to apply for many art schools in Beijing.
She had a good face, but she was not admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts by mistake, and finally successfully admitted to the junior college class of the Chinese Opera Directing Department.
In any case, she can be considered to have stepped into the threshold of the professional world.
During her studies in Chinese opera, Zhang Jingchu took on 4 to 5 dozen advertisements every year, so that tuition and living expenses could basically be solved.
Zhang Jingchu no longer lives in the basement, but has a stable income, she has not only become a rich woman among her classmates, but also has a better and better image.
Due to health reasons, Cui Yongyuan temporarily stopped hosting the "Tell the Truth" program.
The director of "Tell the Truth" decided to list her as one of the candidates to replace the host after Zhang Jingchu's previous hosting performance.
Who would have expected that the topic of that day turned out to be about marriage and husband and wife issues, and Zhang Jingchu, who had no experience in this area, was directly dropped by others.
Zhang Jingchu did not have a strong interest in acting during the entire study period.
She had no idea what role she could play or whether she would be able to perform well.
However, Zhang Jingchu has always held his fate firmly in his own hands and never waited passively.
In her entire school career, she never had any filming opportunities, so she was ready to accept that she had failed to become an actress.
After graduation, Zhang Jingchu plans to adopt another option, that is, to go abroad.
In 1999, in order to study abroad, Zhang Jingchu, a sophomore, signed up for the English training course of Beijing Second Foreign Language Chinese College and New Oriental.
When Zhang Jingchu was interviewed later, she was able to speak fluent English, thanks to her unremitting efforts during that time, and all her efforts were not in vain.
During this year, she added a first word to the end of her name, Zhang Jing, which means to start everything again.
Sure enough, after Zhang Jingchu changed his name, it was as if he had obtained extraordinary abilities.
The one who got acquainted with Gu Changwei was Zhang Jing with the word "Chu".
Gu Changwei was 42 years old at the time, and although he had not yet started working as a director, he had already made a name for himself in the film industry with the filming of films such as "The Child King" and "Red Sorghum".
In 1993, when Jiang Wenli had just graduated, they had already received their marriage certificate.
However, Gu Changwei's career has not made any progress for a long time after they got married.
Jiang Wenli has been very busy since she starred in "Farewell My Concubine".
Therefore, Gu Changwei has been "eating soft rice" at home, and this fact is known to the outside world.
After Gu Changwei met Zhang Jingchu, he first took her to get acquainted with the bigwigs in the circle, and then visited the documentary "Crazy English" directed by Zhang Yuan together, and the footage of the two of them was even cut into the film.
Subsequently, she was also introduced to star in the play "Your Life is So Amorous" created by Hai Yan.
Haiyan dramas have always favored male actors, and Zhang Jie's role is only a small supporting role, which did not cause much sensation.
When you get involved in Vanity Fair, there will naturally be more things about right and wrong.
According to a student of Chinese opera, Zhang Jingchu already knew Gu Changwei before applying for the exam.
Whenever Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli quarreled, Zhang Jingchu would always be approached by them to solve his troubles.
Zhang Jingchu was not outstanding in the class, who would have thought that he would become famous in one fell swoop.
Zhang Jingchu's graduation drama "Sunset Crane" was staged in the graduation season of 99, and Gu Changwei was personally present on the same day**, and also set up a camera to shoot for her.
Subsequently, Zhang Jingchu successfully signed a contract with Rong Xinda, which is affiliated with the film and television company under the well-known director Li Shaohongqi.
Back then, the company launched many masterpieces such as "Orange is Red" and "Daming Palace Ci", but these works were all starring Zhou Xun.
mentioned Zhang Jingchu, she has played a supporting role in many TV series, so she is quite well-known among the audience.
She finally waited for the first heroine in her life, and that was in 2003.
After years of preparation, director Gu Changwei plans to launch his first film "Peacock", and the heroine of the original plan is Zhang Ziyi.
The national teacher has discovered Zhang Ziyi's talent, so she will star in "My Father and Mother", so there will be no chance to work with him again.
One is the leader of the fifth generation of directors, while the other has just transitioned from best videographer to director and launched his first work.
Zhang Ziyi, with great ambitions, naturally understands who to choose.
In this way, Zhang Jingchu has a chance.
From the 2,000 people who participated in the audition, Gu Changwei selected 8 candidates that he thought were more suitable.
In order to be able to obtain the role of "sister", Zhang Jingchu practiced Xi basic skills hard during the day and studied the accordion at night, and even suffered damage to the nerves in the spine due to overwork.
It was precisely because Gu Changwei saw her persistence and resilience that she finally decided to play the heroine.
A pair of female lead actors and a director who works outside have increased a lot of communication after the filming of "Peacock" started, and naturally increased their interaction with each other.
The two frequently wandered the streets of Anyang, sometimes wondering if they were discussing the script or just making small talk.
The local residents did not know about it and mistook them for a couple.
Although they are just rumors that are difficult to verify, both sides deny them, and even the director's wife, Jiang Wenli, also expressed her support for her husband.
A few days later, Mrs. Gu took her one-year-old child to visit the class.
This is undoubtedly an act of swearing sovereignty.
Whether or not the duo actually sparked, the awards they won in Berlin undoubtedly brought their careers to the top.
Zhang Jingchu's resources after "Peacock" can be said to be accelerated to become better, especially.
And almost all of the filming works are films.
Zhang Jingchu's career in the entertainment industry has been thriving in recent years.
Her face seems to show infinite plasticity, and directors flock to her to shoot literary and commercial films.
originally thought that Zhang Jingchu could become an excellent acting heroine from now on, but who knew that her reputation would collapse in an instant.
After 4 years, Gu Changwei is ready to start filming his second film, "Lichun".
This time, Jiang Wenli played Mrs. Gu, and Zhang Jingchu played a supporting role.
After the movie was released, no one expected that Zhang Jingchu's role would be cut so little.
During the promotion of the film, when asked why Zhang's parts were completely cut.
Gu Changwei was at a loss and refused to explain the reason, and Jiang Wenli immediately prevaricated with "in order to enhance the rhythm of the film".
However, the audience understands that this is actually a struggle between two women.
The scandal between Zhang Jingchu and Gu Changwei spread during that time.
There are even rumors that Gu Changwei and Zhang Jingchu went to their hometown in Fujian, and Jiang Wenli rushed to "catch the room".
The big director fled in a hurry after hearing the news, leaving Zhang Jingchu alone to face the angry Mrs. Gu, and finally accepted a slap from the director's wife.
This scandal between the actress and the director has been widely known in the eyes of the public, whether it is true or not.
What's even more interesting is that in the end credits of the movie "Lichun", Gu Changwei specially marked Zhang Jingchu's appearance as a "special performance".
Zhang's name is listed separately, while the names of the other actors are lined up.
This is still true even though all of Zhang's scenes have been deleted.
At the end of the movie "Peacock", the words "Thank you Wenli" also appeared.
Is this series of actions to show gratitude to the two women, or to maintain the balance of the relationship?
In any case, the director still puts family first in the end.
In order to make up for his mistakes, he recommended Zhang Jingchu to Er Dongsheng, and as a result, Miss Zhang performed "Disciple" and officially set foot in the Hong Kong market.
Zhang Jingchu is now known as the object of the "Mainland Director's Wives United".
However, her career in Hong Kong has not been affected in any way.
Subsequently, director Zhang Jiarui also became the second name to appear on the hot search with Zhang Jingchu.
Before the release of "Peacock", Zhang Jingchu actually played the heroine in Director Zhang's "The Bride with a Flower Waist".
During the filming of the movie, Zhang Jingchu experienced a scene of floating from underwater, for which she spent 3 days but was unable to complete the shooting satisfactorily, and was finally severely reprimanded by Zhang Jiarui and cried.
Director Zhang is strict at work, but he takes great care of Miss Zhang in private.
She was later found to have starred in "Aromatic Journey" and "Red River" directed by herself, so Zhang Jingchu was known as Zhang Jiarui's exclusive heroine.
The two were ** dinner together, which sparked speculation about a relationship**.
In public, Zhang Jiarui expressed his appreciation for Zhang Jingchu many times, and even said that he planned to take care of her for the rest of his life.
However, it wasn't until 2010 that Zhang Jiarui was revealed to have a new love, which led to the failure of this relationship.
Zhang Jingchu could not find a job in the mainland, but she did well in the Hong Kong film industry, participating in many critically acclaimed films, such as "Night and Fog in Tin Shui Wai", "Eavesdropping" and "City Alert".
He also starred in the film "Tangshan Da**" directed by Feng Xiaogang, which was released in 2010.
It seems that Miss Zhang is steadily moving forward in the direction of becoming a major actress, and her performance is expected.
However, after starring in "Tang Zhen", Zhang Jingchu could only play a supporting role in some commercial films.
The outside world has misunderstood, thinking that there was an affair with Director Feng, and she was boycotted by the director's wife group when filming "Tang Zhen".
In 2013, it was reported that Zhang Jingchu was involved in the relationship between Lu Chuan and Qin Lan again, and this relationship between the parents of both sides had already been met.
Although Qin Lan came out to explain, the relationship between the two was because of the new drama meeting in Guangzhou, and Zhang himself introduced it to Lu Chuan.
It's a pity that no matter what the truth is, Zhang Jingchu can't get rid of the image of having a scandal with the director, which cannot be changed.
In 2018, after filming "Wushuang", Zhang Jingchu played two roles in the critically acclaimed and box office blockbuster, but never appeared on the big screen again. The reason is unknown.
Subsequently, the girl who once lived in the basement of Beijing to pursue her dreams no longer has the courage and perseverance she once had.
She has no chance to film anymore, and surprisingly, in a TV series adapted from the comics "The Bad People Who Draw the Rivers and Lakes", she plays a character who is too beautiful to the point of being excessive, but has almost no lines.
This actress, who is loved by big directors, seems to have been getting farther and farther away from her dream ......
Career setbacks lead to an emptiness in your love life.
Zhang Jingchu has never entered the palace of marriage, and in fact, he has always been indifferent to marriage.
She has been searching, but has never met a man who can convince her to marry.
After a series of scandals and rumors in the entertainment industry.
She no longer has a longing for marriage, and she doesn't dare to look for people in the circle.
She recently took to social media to show off the books she was reading and the insights she had learned from her travels, and she is 42 years old.
The actress who was once resolute and resolute and always ready to move forward is a thing of the past.
Perhaps, Miss Zhang has been trying to break through herself all her life, and she is also eager to continue to receive the role she wants.
However, over the years, Zhang Jingchu's name has always been associated with various directors.
The audience and the director's wife seem to believe it, whether it's true or not.
Zhang Jingchu was speechless, perhaps because he did not think deeply about it when he was young, and he did not know how to explain and avoid suspicion.
Eventually, the hat was tightly buttoned on his head and could not be taken off, and it was too late to regret it.
