In 1998, a 14-year-old Hebei girl Wei Minzhi was photographed by Zhang Yimou and embarked on the road of entertainment. However, the choice of fate is a matter of her life. 22 years have passed, how is Wei Minzhi doing now?
In 1998, director Zhang Yimou adapted Shi Xiangsheng's ** "There is a Sun in the Sky", preparing to shoot the rural movie "No One is Missing". The crew came to Wei Minzhi's hometown of Ningbao Village, Hebei Province for casting, and Wei Minzhi's lively and bold and unhesitating performance in the crowd made her successfully selected and played the role of a rural teacher in the film. After the film was released, it won more than ten awards at home and abroad, and the rural teacher played by Wei Minzhi was also widely acclaimed.
Wei Minzhi, who was invited by many directors, chose to concentrate on studying, followed Zhang Yimou's advice, temporarily shelved the idea of entering the entertainment industry, and was later admitted to the School of Western Film and Media of Xi'an University of Foreign Chinese to learn Xi filmmaking-related knowledge. After graduating, she directed her first film, Mother's Wish, which she successfully completed, and this experience laid the foundation for her future career as a professional director.
Through educational exchanges, Wei Minzhi came to the United States to continue her studies in Xi media and film and television related majors, and met Liu Jinhui, a Chinese-American, in the process of learning Xi and life, and the two later married and had children. She successfully returned to China after graduation and filmed the personal growth documentary "Miracle Daughter", which was later broadcast on several TV stations, vividly recording her from an ordinary village girl to step by step towards her dream.
After returning to China, Wei Minzhi devoted herself to her career as a director, insisting on using non-professional actors to interpret the role, in order to truly show the living conditions of the people at the bottom, and through these works, she pushed the audience to pay more attention to and understand the situation at the grassroots level in China. Her tenacity and tenacity and her ideals and pursuit of the profession of directing allowed her to constantly hone her directing skills and gradually realize her yearning and ideals for the profession of directing when she was young. Using movie flashing lights to record life and tell the stories of ordinary people is the true value and pursuit of her heart.
In the past 22 years of ups and downs, Wei Minzhi has used her perseverance and perseverance to explain to us what it means to "never forget the original intention, so that we can always do it". Her life path is like a real and touching movie, constantly showing strength and hard work, bringing us more touching stories about grassroots life in China. I look forward to more wonderful blooms in the future, and dedicate the warmth and truth of life to every audience.
