When it comes to classic costume beauties, who is the first thing that comes to mind?Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan. And among these shining names, Xi Shi Dong Zhizhi is definitely the most special existence among them. She conquered the hearts of thousands of people with a smile and a smile, but she chose to leave without regret when her career was in full swing. Today, let's look back at the life of this legendary actress, Xi Shi Dong Zhizhi.
In 1962, on an ordinary spring day, Dong Zhizhi was born in an ordinary family in Jiading, Shanghai. With delicate facial features, the fair-skinned Dong Zhizhi has all the temperament and charm of oriental classical women. Dong Zhizhi, who has been elegant and quiet since childhood, has shown amazing dancing talent, she loves ballet, and often secretly practices basic movements in the room alone. When her parents found out, they were very supportive and sent her to Shanghai Dance School for systematic training.
In school, Dong Zhizhi is diligent and hardworking, and the teachers praise her as the most outstanding student. After graduating, she was successfully assigned to work at the Shanghai Dance Theatre. Years of professional training have given Dong Zhizhi a tall body and outstanding temperament, with flowing hair and elegant and generous gestures. Whenever she goes out to perform with the troupe, her oriental beauty can always attract countless admiration from the audience.
She's like a little fairy, and none of the ballet dancers I've ever seen can match her. An audience member said. Dong Zhizhi gradually became the pillar of the Shanghai Dance Theater, and directors from all over the world vied with her to play. In 1983, she made her screen debut in director Liu Bin's film "Bitter Fruit", although it was only a small supporting role, but it has already attracted a lot of attention.
This year, the TV series "Xi Shi" was cast all over the country, and the crew heard the name of "Shanghai Dance Goddess", and specially summoned Dong Zhizhi to audition. When she changed into her ancient costume and gently flicked her sleeves, everyone was stunned - this is simply the reincarnation of Xi Shi!
We didn't expect a professional dancer to interpret the feeling of Xi Shi so well, she is like traveling through time and space. The director recalled. Although Dong Zhizhi's cheerful personality is different from Xi Shi's, her outstanding line performance and ability to enter the play finally convinced everyone. As a result, this girl, who was originally the goddess of dance, intersected with Xi Shi's fate trajectory, and since then she has bloomed on the screen.
In 1983, "Xi Shi" was launched in Dongfanghong Great Hall, and Dong Zhizhi, who was only 23 years old, started her screen ** work. In order to play Xi Shi, she began to concentrate on this role. Before filming, she had seen a lot of historical materials about Xi Shi, trying to accurately understand this legendary woman who complained about her sick beauty.
A lot of viewers think I'm not like Xi Shi because I have such a hearty personality. Dong Zhizhi said with a smile, "So I made up my mind to enter this role and become her." In order to show Xi Shi, a beautiful woman who was forced to be a palace concubine due to the ruin of the country and her family, and was slightly sad and sad, Dong Zhizhi would sit quietly alone before the play, immersing herself in a melancholy mood. When the director shouted "stop", a melancholy and pathetic Xi Shi was vividly presented in front of the camera.
As soon as the TV series was broadcast, Xi Shi played by Dong Zhizhi immediately set off a huge response among the audience. "It's so beautiful, it's simply the most perfect Shih Tzu in my mind!"I didn't expect there to be such a fairy in modern times!The audience commented. Dong Zhizhi also became popular all over the country overnight, and the role of "Xi Shi" became synonymous with her.
In the following years, Dong Zhizhi successively starred in film and television works such as "A Woman Is Not the Moon", although there were not many scenes, but her elegant and beautiful fairy appearance made the plot bright every time. "Every close-up of Dong Zhizhi is worth the ticket price!"At that time, there were film critics who praised it so much. With superb performances and fairy appearance, Dong Zhizhi became a well-deserved "No. 1 classical beauty" in the 1980s.
In 1987, the famous director Wang Fulin began to plan and shoot a new version of "Dream of Red Mansions". When he saw Dong Zhizhi's **, his eyes lit up: "We have found the real Lin Daiyu!."”
Director Wang called Dong Zhizhi many times, hoping that she could play this eternal role. However, Dong Zhizhi was 27 years old at the time, and Lin Daiyu needed to be a 16-year-old girl. What's more, the filming cycle of "Dream of Red Mansions" is as long as three years, and the age requirements for the actors are extremely high. Although Dong Zhizhi also looked forward to this opportunity in his heart, he had to politely decline in the end.
This became a regret in her acting career. In a later interview, Dong Zhizhi said with a smile: "Lin Daiyu is my most desirable and favorite role, and I will not hesitate to take on this task if conditions permit." Although I didn't make it in the end, I will always support the actor who played her later, hoping that she can play this role perfectly. ”
Although she failed to play Lin Daiyu, Dong Zhizhi still became the ideal "sick beauty" in Director Wang's mind. "Her beauty is a perfect combination of classical and modern, which is rare. Director Wang said. More than 30 years have passed, and he still remembers it. Dong Zhizhi and Lin Daiyu have become an eternal legend in the film industry.
In 1992, 30-year-old Dong Zhizhi suddenly announced his retirement from film and retired from his art career. At this time, she was at the peak of her smash hit, and this decision made everyone extremely sorry. Leaving the spotlight, Dong Zhizhi chose to enter the palace of marriage.
My heart is long gone from the stage. Dong Zhizhi said with a smile. Her husband is a business friend, and the two have known each other for a long time and have a very good relationship. After marriage, her husband fully supported her in pursuing her dreams. Dong Zhizhi returned to the dance theater and started a new life.
Dancing is my lifelong passion. Today, Dong Zhizhi is still active in dance teaching. She and her husband also have a lovely daughter. The plain but warm life is exactly what she is most satisfied with now.
I'm done. Referring to the past, Dong Zhizhi said. She used her life choices to interpret what happiness is.
Time flies, years change. Today, Dong Zhizhi is no longer young, but the stunning glimpse is still deeply imprinted in people's hearts. She is like a colchicum flower that blooms beautifully, blooming with a stunning brilliance.
In the short years of her acting career, she touched the hearts of a generation with her unique charm. The light and graceful dancing girl, the graceful and grieving Xi Shi has become a classic picture on the movie screen and has been talked about by thousands of audiences.
Today, Dong Zhizhi is hidden behind the scenes, but she is still active in the art of dance. The heart that loves the stage all my life has never changed. This former screen legend lights up the light of life in another way. And her unique style will always live in people's memory.
Dong Zhizhi's life is like a beautiful music, she lights up the world with a light smile, and leaves lightly at the top moment. However, her legend will never be annihilated by time. At a glance, it will be a happy life. I hope that she will be happy and healthy for the rest of her life, and the beauty of dance will still bloom.
