"She is a role model for me in life, both in person and in acting. ”
Yuan Quan has countless honors and awards in the entertainment industry, including the Plum Blossom Award, the Golden Rooster Award, the Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Horse Award.
However, in the face of these praises, Yuan Quan did not show any pride and complacency, but humbly stated that he was only engaged in the profession of actor.
However, what few people know is that Yuan Quan once paid a huge price in order to pursue this profession, including 6 steel nails and 1 steel bar.
In 2002, Yuan Quan suffered an accident during the rehearsal of the drama "Zhao's Orphan", unfortunately fell off the stage, and woke up lying in the intensive care unit of the hospital.
This accident has profoundly changed her life and strengthened her determination to transform.
It turned out that although Yuan Quan's life was preserved, her body was greatly damaged, and she had to implant 6 steel nails and 1 steel bar in her body. Every time she tried to turn her head, she felt pain.
The pain was far deeper than the physical pain, and she couldn't put it into words.
Yuan Quan worked hard for a long time to embark on the road of drama, does she have to stop again because of physical pain?
Yuan Quan was born on October 16, 1977, and grew up in a family of intellectuals in Jingzhou, Hubei Province. Her father is a table tennis coach and her mother is a teacher.
Yuan Quan's childhood life was okay, although he was not a wealthy family, he lived a carefree life.
Although Yuan Shiming hopes that his daughter Yuan Quan can become a "table tennis player" in the sports school, the reality is not satisfactory.
In a short period of time, Yuan Quan was tired of this kind of sports school life.
Compared with other hobbies, Yuan Quan loves singing and dancing more. This is actually not surprising, after all, as a girl, who doesn't want to show their beauty on stage?
Although her father criticized Yuan Quan many times, she still insisted on participating in the school's art performances and pursued her dreams as always.
Under the witness of his father, Yuan Quan gave up sports school and chose to pursue his dream. She found joy and confidence in poetry reading, singing songs, and dancing.
coincided with 1988, when the selection of top literary and artistic talents in Hubei Province was about to begin, Yuan Quan signed up with the mentality of giving it a try. She believes that as long as she grows up happily and happily, she can succeed in whatever she does.
Yuan Quan did not expect that she would become the top scorer in the province, so she was sent to the middle school attached to the China Academy of Drama to perform Peking Opera on behalf of Pei.
At this time, at the age of 11, she decided to fly to Beijing to study alone.
Before parting, my parents frequently asked each other, "Do you really want to learn Peking Opera?" Yuan Quan nodded without hesitation, completely fearless.
Yuan Quan firmly believes that as long as he stands on the stage, he can realize any dream. However, when she entered the High School Attached to the Chinese Academy of Drama, she had to get up before dawn every day to complete her morning exercises.
These trainings include leg presses, sticking to the wall, zama steps, side hand flips, etc., for Yuan Quan, no matter how hard she tries, there are always some things that she can't do.
Her height and leg length made her look a little out of place on stage, and no matter how many times she pressed her leg, her right leg was still strained.
Yuan Quan's height became a problem for her when choosing a partner, and her toes could not always touch her head.
After weighing a number of factors, the teacher's suggestion was that Yuan Quan consider abandoning Peking Opera, out of respect for the arts and out of consideration for her health.
Watching his classmates shine on the Peking Opera stage one after another, Yuan Quan's heart was full of contradictions and doubts.
Leaving the road of Peking Opera, where should she go?
The up-and-coming Yuan Quan performed well during her studies at the High School, especially at the age of 14, when she was part of the Chinese Children's Troupe to perform Peking Opera abroad.
It was her pride to stand on a foreign stage to perform Peking Opera, but helplessly, fate made a different arrangement, and Yuan Quan was forced to give up her Peking Opera career.
When Yuan Quan was confused and at a loss, the classmates around him suddenly made a suggestion. "You're so beautiful, you might as well be an actor. "Yuan Quan is undoubtedly the best in the crowd in terms of appearance and figure.
In the showbiz with beautiful women, it has always been unknown whether it can stand out. So, in 1996, Yuan Quan chose the Performance Department of ** Drama Academy as her new starting point.
It is worth mentioning that she almost didn't spend much effort to successfully receive the admission letter from the acting department.
Her friends all know that this year's students are all star-level.
30 years ago, Zhang Ziyi, Qin Hailu, Zeng Li, and Hu Jing ......Whatever the name, it is a goddess that cannot be ignored. You can imagine how beautiful they are.
However, under the backdrop of these goddesses, Yuan Quan looked much more ordinary.
In the first half year of school, Yuan Quan has always felt gloomy about life. Walking on the road, she always keeps her head down and avoids the crowd. She is afraid to participate in group activities and prefers to be alone.
In the days of solitude, Yuan Quan spends all his time on self-improvement. ”
In the process, Yuan Quan fell in love with drama. She understands that this is the place where the actor's acting skills can be tested and shown the most. Fortunately, her efforts were not disappointed.
In her sophomore year, Yuan Quan was successfully nominated for "Best Actress" at the 19th China Film Golden Rooster Awards with the movie "Shanghai Chronicle". With this honor, she has won many awards one after another.
In the applause and flowers, Yuan Quan ushered in the graduation season. Everyone expected her to continue to bring excellent works, but she made a bold decision to devote herself to theatrical performance.
However, at this time, Yuan Quan had not yet realized that her persistence almost cost her life.
In 2002, Yuan Quan was invited to participate in the drama "Zhao's Orphan", but unfortunately fell off the stage during the rehearsal process, and his shoulder collapsed instantly.
The severe pain caused her to pass out, but she gritted her teeth and persevered, and eventually became a winner in life.
Yuan Quan fell into a coma in an accident, but fortunately she was sent to the hospital in time and was successfully rescued, but her body suffered a serious injury, and 6 steel nails and 1 steel bar were implanted in her body.
For the next 5 months, she was almost always lying flat in her hospital bed, through an extremely difficult recovery period.
After Yuan Quan's first period, his acting career came to a standstill. Although her body was restored, the fear deep in her heart lingered.
Every time she stands on the stage, she will have a brief panic in her heart, and subconsciously want to grab on to the things around her to prevent the tragedy from happening again.
Yuan Quan finally came out of PTSD after a difficult journey, and her inner fear was overcome by her love for the stage. Due to physical reasons, Yuan Quan temporarily chose to return to the film and television industry.
Yuan Quan participated in "Beautiful Feet" to test the waters, but he didn't expect to win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress again with the role of "Rural Teacher Volunteer" in this film.
This victory made her regain her confidence and firmly go further and further on the road of acting.
Yuan Quan's acting career is full of honors and awards, from the Golden Horse Award to the Hundred Flowers Award, and the familiar roles she has created one after another are impressive.
In this process, there is always one person by her side, and that is Xia Yu.
They are partners who support each other and grow together.
Yuan Quan and Xia Yu, the reputation of this model couple has long spread throughout the circle. From classmates and friends to sleeping together, they have gone through ten spring and autumn together.
Especially in the days when Yuan Quan was injured, Xia Yu stayed in front of the hospital bed every step of the way, and without the company of her lover, it might be difficult for her to spend that painful time.
In August 2009, Xia Yu and Yuan Quan tied the knot, and soon after they were successfully promoted to new parents.
Not only are their relationships going well, but their careers are also smooth sailing.
On July 20, 2023, they will be in the same frame again in the movie "Fengshen Part 1", from a real-life husband and wife to a perfect partner on the screen, how can such a love not be enviable?
Yuan Quan's wisdom and transparency are unmatched, she devotes herself to acting on stage, and lives a simple and contented life in life.
For her, being an actor is not just a title, but also a professional attitude.
No matter what role she faces, she will go all out and do her best to play it well.
