She used to be Aunt Kang in "Do You Know If You Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin", with sharp words and thick skin, which makes people love and hate.
She used to be the eldest princess of Liyang in "The Legend of Ruyi", married to Xie Yu, and has been escorting her son all her life.
She is Zhang Yanyan, an actress who has been reduced from a first-line heroine to a supporting role, and then from a supporting role to a popular actress.
01 The starting point of an actor's dream She was born into an artistic family.
Her grandfather is the director of the Railway Art Troupe, and her father is a first-line actor and Nortel teacher, and the leader of a famous film group.
She has had a keen interest in art since she was a child, and her dream is to be an actress.
But her parents didn't want her to enter the entertainment industry, they knew that the circle was dark and complicated, and they didn't want her to be hurt.
So they never took her to the set, nor did they talk about the crew at home, and sometimes the crew invited her to make a cameo, but they would also refuse.
Their purpose is obvious, which is to make her give up her dream of being an actress.
But her dream is not to say that she can just let it go, when she grew up, she was admitted to Beijing Film Academy and became a student of Teacher Huang Lei, and was in the same class as stars such as Haiqing, Huang Haibo, and Wen Zhengrong.
When she was a sophomore, she received an invitation from the crew, and officially entered the showbiz with the two roles of "Wei Dianxi and Chestnut".
Her father would also provide her with some guidance, and her acting talent and temperament made her quickly favored by the crew and director.
She is much luckier than those actors who have just entered the circle, and all she got was the script of the heroine.
In 2001, she became famous in one fell swoop because of the role of Zhu Qiqi in "The History of Martial Arts" and became a popular actress.
In the play, she is a gentle and virtuous lady Li Meiniang, and the other is a lively wild girl Zhu Qiqi, two characters with very different personalities, she plays them vividly.
She was a troublemaker at the beginning, causing trouble everywhere, and then fell in love with Shen Lang, pursued him desperately, and experienced the changes of the world before she learned to grow and pay.
Shen Lang has never felt for her, he only has Bai Feifei in his heart, the woman who seems to be weak and beautiful, but is actually vicious and cunning.
Shen Lang was harmed by Bai Feifei a few times, only to discover her true face, and only then did he discover how good Zhu Qiqi was.
Zhu Qiqi's kindness and straightforwardness moved Shen Lang's heart, and the two finally came together.
There were three people participating in the audition for this role, but as soon as Zhang Yanyan tried the play, he was selected by the director team.
Their choice was correct, Zhang Yanyan's performance made this role deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and also made her the darling of the audience.
Although her appearance is not as good as Wang Yan, her temperament is unique.
The CP party of "Zhu Qiqi Shen Lang" and "Bai Feifei Shen Lang" has been arguing endlessly, and there is no conclusion until now.
Because of this drama, she became a first-line actress, with continuous drama appointments, and also won the Golden Phoenix Award.
That year, she was only 25 years old.
She could have been on the Walk of Fame, but she chose to leave.
02 "Disappearance" after leaving Why did she leave?
There are only two possibilities, family and love.
She is a female star who got married early, which is rare in the entertainment industry.
As Zhang Yuxi said, if you still want to be popular, if you still want to improve your status, you won't indulge in love.
Career is the most important thing.
Why?Because good jobs are hard to find, good men are available at any time, as long as you are beautiful and rich enough, you can find whatever you want.
She may be too loving, or she may be too confident.
At that time, she chose to get married and put her focus on her family, taking care of her husband and two children.
Her husband was an outsider who met at a banquet, and he fell in love at first sight and chased her for a long time before finally marrying her.
What was their married life like?
Outsiders don't know.
It is only known that their marriage lasted only a few years before it ended in divorce.
She may be too selfless in love, or she may be too silly.
She gave everything she had to him and never cared about anything in return.
If he treats her well, she will be grateful, and if he treats her coldly, she will not complain until the original love is gone, and it is time to break up.
In order to support her two children, she returned to Beijing and started her career again.
Unfortunately, it is easy to go, but difficult to come back.
In the entertainment industry, four years can change the character, when she left, she was still a first-line actress, but when she came back, she was already a supporting role.
Just like Yang Xue, she also changed from a first-line actress to a marginal person because she got married and had children, and she hasn't published a work for several years, and no one pays attention to her.
03 The supporting role that became popular again She used to take the script of the heroine, but now she can only rely on the reputation of the childhood goddess to mix a supporting role.
