The popularity of the TV series "Flowers" exploded, in addition to the halo of the protagonist, the supporting roles are also powerful, and Zeng Meihuizi, who plays the little foreman, does not have many scenes, but the scenes are amazing. She once won the Academy Award for her large-scale ** drama. 
Zeng Meihuizi played the foreman Minmin in "Flowers".
Zeng Meihuizi and Xin Zhilei played against each other to play the plump Minmin, and it is rumored that Zeng Meihuizi gained 30 pounds. In the play, Min Min is a foreign girl who dares to fight, festive, coquettish, and very flexible, she is in the same frame as Li Li played by Xin Zhilei, and some viewers exclaimed, "These are the two most desirable faces in history." 
Zeng Meihuizi at the 2019 Academy Awards
Three Husbands" stills In 2019, she won the Academy Award for the large-scale movie "Three Husbands". "The drama is bigger than the sky" is Zeng Meihuizi's mantra. She does not shy away from her ambitions: "No actor doesn't want to be popular, no actor doesn't have ambition." People think 'ambition' is a derogatory term, but I think it's a motivator. Self-report: Zeng Meihuizi Editor: Chen Xing, Shi Ming
Zeng Meihuizi once again got out of the circle with her acting skills in "Flowers". The audience exclaimed, only Wong Kar-wai can find such a luxurious lineup - the queen of the Hong Kong Film Awards, willing to play a small supporting role. Zeng Meihuizi's Minmin made her first appearance, surrounded by a group of waitresses in Zhizhenyuan, shyly showing off her newly bought expensive lipstick, and her natural acting skills made the image of this "foreign girl" eye-catching: both undisguised ambition and the coquettishness of a girl. 
The former foreman scolded Li Li played by Xin Zhilei for Min Min: "The leader who goes to work every day drives so low, and when he enters the private room, he spends other people's guests around, and sits on people's laps to toast." ”
Li Li has a unique eye, and after some temptation, he recognized the flexible mind under Minmin's delicate appearance and promoted her to become the new foreman. At the same time, he also taught her that "if you want to make a lot of money, you rely on your brains, not buttons." ”
During the publicity period, the three actresses jokingly called them the "Zhizhenyuan Trio" Xin Zhilei as Li Li, Tong Chenjie as Manager Pan, and Zeng Meihuizi as Minmin (Source: "Flowers" crew).
When Zhizhenyuan encountered a predicament, she reported the situation to Li Li and portrayed the image of an anxious and confused foreman very well.
was backstabbed by the foreign sister "Xiao Jiangxi" who came to Shanghai to work together, and confronted each other in the alley, changing the coquettish state of the past, ** direct.
In 2019, not long after Zeng Meihuizi won the Hong Kong Film Awards, we had the pleasure of visiting her filming set and met her real and ambitious.
In 2019, Zeng Meihuizi finally became a star, but she didn't look like a star. At noon, she sent her an appointment email, and at midnight she replied to the email herself, and happily agreed to the interview. She was filming in the mountains of Yunnan, and we also went into the mountains. The first time we met, it was at a Sichuan restaurant she agreed. She wears a green and pink tracksuit, no makeup, is very unpretentious, and orders food in a fluent local dialect. At first glance, you would think that she is the person who lives in the local area, but in fact, she has only lived here for a little more than a month. She took us to a lot of local places, plantain groves, lakes, rehearsal rooms. In every scene, there are a lot of ideas, such as "I want to create" and "I won't back down when it comes to creating". She usually wears no makeup, and her hair is draped down very casually, sometimes tied into a high ponytail. When we were resting, they would squat next to us and eat fried chicken wings. We chatted casually, and she seemed willing to talk about anything.
In 2006, Zeng Meihuizi's ** work was supervised by Fang Li. The director is Lou Ye, the starring role is Hao Lei, and Zeng Meihuizi plays Hao Lei's roommate in it, an ignorant female college student Dongdong. The scene in which the heroine teaches Dongdong ** is still impressive. Her second film** is "Apple" (2007) directed by Li Yu. She played a little girl who washed her feet, and was prostituted after falling into the dust**. Because of this **, she went to the Berlin Film Festival for the first time and tasted the red carpet.
After Zeng Meihuizi participated in the Berlin Film Festival for the first time, she was obscurity for a long time and tried hard to break through. She has made several TV series and movies, all of which are comedies, and the response has been tepid. collaborated with Ge You in a "Panting", playing an inconspicuous nanny. collaborated with Sun Li in an urban fashion drama "The True Story of Hot Mom", playing a supporting role called Xianxian. Among these roles, the more outstanding is Niu Caiyun in the TV series "Mobile Phone" written by Liu Zhenyun. The character is set as a country girl who wants to get in touch with a high-level social circle, so she becomes an instant hit. "Crooked ponytail, blue eye shadow, and styling language are all thunderous" is the impression left by Niu Caiyun, and she bears a lot of laughter in the play. But she didn't go through the road of comedy. In the end, she even went to shoot an online drama that only 23 people have watched on Douban, called "Tokyo Blood", which is a science fiction story about mutants.
In "Pluto Moment", Zeng Meihuizi played Moss until 2016, when she filmed "Pluto Moment" by literary film director Zhang Ming, playing a lonely country woman in it. People suddenly discovered that this is her way of playing: playing a woman who is erect, vigorous, and full of emotional intentions, but is ruthlessly suppressed by reality. Her plays were performed one after another: "Yunshui", "Down to the Sea", "The Last Night on Earth", "The Party at the Southern Station" ......In "Down to the Sea", she is a prostitute in the rue de la Station in Paris, in "The Last Night on Earth", she is a mysterious ex-girlfriend, and in "The Party at the South Station", she is a swimmer. All of these characters are related to lust and sexuality.
"Three Husbands", who gained 40 pounds in "Three Husbands" and won the Academy Awards, is the final chapter of the "Prostitute Trilogy" directed by Chen Guo. Because the scale is too large, the director once wanted to find a ** actress to play. Zeng Meihuizi went into battle shirtless, gained 40 pounds, and performed a sense of primitive mother-like "goddess". Looking closely at her appearance, she is actually not outstanding, but fortunately, she is sharp and angular. In her early years, she often played the innocent little girl, but it turned out that what suited her more was aggressiveness and a sense of mystery that was inexplicable.
starring in the new work "Mistake by the River" in 2023, she also has a good reputation, and she herself is obviously aware of this. In the interview, she prefers to talk about "drama" rather than herself, "It makes no sense to say too much about my own experience". She had never had an agent before, on the grounds that she preferred to face the world head-on and take on challenges. At the beginning of this month, she finally found herself an agent. Since then, there has been another layer of barrier between her and the world. The following is Zeng Meihuizi's own statement.
After I won the prize that day, it was very heavy, much heavier than I thought. I walked from the stage to the backstage in high heels and my feet were shaking. It was a short stretch of road, but the backstage was dark, and there were very large floor lamps on the ground, which seemed to be shining, and at that moment the tears were "booming" - tears flowing. I thought I was going to win the Academy Awards, but I didn't expect it to be this day, this one. This award is the first climax of my life, and after more than ten years in the industry, everything has just begun. In fact, since I was a child, I knew very well what I wanted to do, which was to be a big actor and a big star. This "big" is not the superstar that everyone thinks, but the drama is bigger than the sky. People say that I wear ambition on my body, and I think that description is quite accurate. There is no actor who doesn't want to be popular, and no actor who doesn't have ambition. You may think of ambition as a derogatory term, but I think it's a kind of motivation. The left side of the word "wild" is a "li", and the right side is a "giving", and I think "li" represents the field, and "giving" means that you have to give this field a lot of power.
I started learning pipa when I was 5 years old, and I started learning Peking Opera when I was young. I feel that as a Chinese actor, it will be especially meaningful if I know Peking Opera. When I was a child, my voice was very similar to Teresa Teng, and I had a baby face very similar to her, and then I participated in a singing competition, imitating Teresa Teng's singing and singing those mature adult songs. The first time I made money was because I participated in such a competition, which seemed to be 500 yuan, which was a lot of money for me at the time. When I got the money, I immediately bought cosmetics in the back mall, and I spent it in an instant. I learned to dance since I was a child, kicking hundreds of legs a day. I'm the kind of person who is prone to obesity, and if I don't train at that high intensity, I will easily gain weight. I'm a completely folk actress. All the information on the Internet is written by netizens themselves, and the encyclopedia is not written by me. I'm a different age than you think, I'm a lot younger than you think.
I've had a lot of experiences of being humiliated and my self-esteem hurting. It's met once or twice a month. I once attended an event where I met a senior actor and wanted to say hello to him, but he just wanted to say hello. But before I could open my mouth, the other party unceremoniously said, "You let me go", which was really embarrassing at the time. To this day, I continue to experience loneliness, exhaustion, and a moment every day when it feels like falling into the abyss. Actually, I didn't plan my acting career much. When the actor can only be selected. For a long time, I didn't have a PPT, and I didn't have an agent, but I just had some friends to work with. My friend said, this opportunity may be suitable for you, do you want to meet the director? I'll see you. After meeting, the director and I talked about very short things, what do you usually do? What are you doing these days? How have you been? It seems that every director will give me a chance after meeting them.
After she often replied to work by herself and won awards, there were a lot more people who wanted to see me, and the pace of my work and life was much faster than before. This state is something I crave so much. Because time flies quickly, the career of an actress is only seven or eight years, and if you do it, it will only be a few short years. Before I made Pluto Moment, I had been in the doldrums for nine years. There are not many films, only one film in a year or two years. What roles and types have been tried. At that time, I didn't know where I was going, and I didn't have a particularly good way to do what I was going to do. Around 2013, there was an opportunity to see the outside world. I went on a study tour to New York and watched different places where I performed and trained. After living in the United States on and off for a year and a half, the biggest impact on me was that I realized how small I was, a speck of dust. The world is big, and those desires and ideas of your own may be really insignificant.
Pluto Moment" In 2016, I played Spring Moss in "Pluto Moment" directed by Zhang Ming. That character was actually inspired by "Ju Dou" starring Gong Li, and in my opinion, she is as full of vitality as spring moss. A driver who has been used by the director for several years told me that the name of the character of Chunmoss is in every play directed by Zhang Ming. Sometimes it's a voiceover, sometimes it's a character, sometimes it's a woman in someone's mouth. The first time she became a real person, it was in Pluto Moment. The driver said that the director should really want to make a "The Legend of Spring Moss". I'm curious if there is a prototype of the director's vision for this character. He didn't tell me about it during filming, and I wasn't too embarrassed to ask.
When Zeng Meihuizi and "Three Husbands" director Chen Guo arrived to shoot the scene directed by Chen Guo, I felt that it was a performance that was very meticulous in line with the timing, my own acting skills, acting experience and role requirements. It can be said that I am an expression of myself at a certain stage of growth. Maybe every actor grows up to a certain moment, for such a role that belongs to him. The little sister I play is actually not human. She is a mermaid, a representation and embodiment of beauty, but in a simpler and cruder form. In order to play this role, I gained nearly forty pounds, which caused me to lose menstruation. So fat that even your family and friends think you're sick. The whole drama was filmed intermittently for two months. I have a lot of water scenes, and every time I shoot a water scene, it is my menstrual period. In May, the sea was still quite cold, there was salt in the water, and the waves hit the body very painfully, and the lower half of the body was basically unconscious.
My classmates and people who have come into contact with me think that I am the last girl to come out with a doll in "Battle Royale". Maybe my biggest strength is not how good I am, it's just that I have a lot of patience. I've been like that since I was a kid. I've never lost my temper and no one has ever seen me angry. Privately, not either. It's in the middle of the show to release and relieve. In "Three Husbands", I have very few lines, and I will make a "dolphin sound" howling, which is a skill I have had since I was a child. At that time, after I went to study at night, the lights in the corridor would only turn on, and once I suddenly wanted to try to see if I could turn on a few more lights, so I called myself, and found that the whole building was lit up, and my classmates were stupid. Since then I have known that I can make this sound, and sometimes it screams so hard that a very thin light bulb will explode.
For a while, I was exposed to psychology. Psychology says that people's character, behavior, and consciousness are actually formed at a certain point at a very young age. I don't think I'm like that too. Over the years, my appearance has changed a lot, but in fact, my body and mind are still stuck at a certain stage when I was a child. When I was a child, I was plump and very shy, so I wrapped myself in very large clothes. Growing up, knowing that this fullness can be an advantage, there is a stage where you go crazy in tights. But after that stage, I slowly found a comfortable state that suited me. Now wearing ** is the state of my work, and I basically only wear ** in my daily life.
I'm naïve and cunning than you think. I think I'm probably more like a chameleon, changing in different environments. I like chameleons. Sometimes it's more like a snake, and then it's very plain to stay in a tree. When people say I'm "beautiful", I feel like I'm a stranger. Because I think beauty needs precipitation, and it needs a sense of awe. And I haven't reached this precipitation and accumulation yet. There are also many people who describe me, "I accept this very much, and I like this description because I have this trait." The starting point of my ** is not to please others, but to have a kind of confidence and vitality, and at this point I feel that I have a large female audience.
Meng Xiaodong, a famous Peking Opera veteran.
The first actress to wear a suit, Madeleine Dietrich, I especially like an actress named Meng Xiaodong. Once I saw a still of her, with a beard hanging up, heroic and cool, I was shocked, I sat there and thought about it for a long time, I said this is too powerful. I especially admire this feeling of being androgynous. One of my favorite actresses, Madeleine Dietrich, was the first actress to wear a suit. Maybe they are the opening of another kind of consciousness I have for actresses, they are not masculine, but a kind of yin and yang unity. I usually watch movies, and I watch silent movies a lot. Maybe my acting growth came from silent films. In fact, silent films are not just Chaplin's body language, a large number of silent films are actually in **human nature. It's not as fast-paced as today's movies, where you can only grab one or two points and then lay out the characters' personalities.
She bluntly said that her idol is Marilyn Monroe, and I think the real big stars are in the silent film era, such as Madeleine Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe - but Monroe later had some color films. There is also the earliest Asian actor representative Huang Liushuang, I think that era can be called the peak of actresses. Three or four months ago, I took a black and white ** photo, imitating Huang Liushuang's style. That's one of my favorite of my own **. At that time, the magazine made a special feature, found a few actors, and asked everyone to choose an actor you want to pay tribute to, and the one I want to pay tribute to is Huang Liushuang. For me, her orientality is the ultimate in its best.
Huang Liushuang's other person who has made the Orientality to the extreme, I think is Gong Li. She was there when the Academy Awards were presented this time, and I didn't dare to talk to her. Halfway through the bathroom, we passed by her, and at that moment, my whole body felt like electricity.
I haven't counted how many ** I've taken over the years, and I never summarize and generalize. Since a few years ago, as long as I am not filming, I will go alone every year. I wanted to be vegetarian, but I didn't have the courage to stick to it. I had basically no emotional experience. When I'm not busy at work, I feel like I still have to have a family. When I was young, I imagined what I would be like when I was thirty years old, hoping to go to the United States to develop and participate in some Hollywood **. Now the West has also seen it and returned. At the age of forty, I should get married and have children.
In recent years, I have begun to learn to forget, to learn to go with the flow, not to be so twisted and not to be entangled. If there is one thing that can change my life, I would choose to be myself. Being yourself is the most important way to change your life. After winning the Academy Awards, my mother teased me, baby, we still have an Oscar, right? She hopes that I will not be proud, and I will not change some of my persistence because of this award. Many times, what you look so bright is actually a very hard work behind it, but you may not be willing to express that effort. So I think winning this award is an encouragement for me that I haven't given up on myself for more than ten years. After that, I'm going to spend a lot of time to be worthy of the award, to keep getting the award, and to keep going.
