When it comes to the name E Jingwen, perhaps most viewers will not be too impressed. However, when it comes to her Bole Stephen Chow and the movie "The New King of Comedy" starring her, I believe most audiences still remember it vividly.
During the Spring Festival five years ago, the movie "The King of New Comedy" directed by Stephen Chow was released. With the addition of Stephen Chow's signature and the national grassroots Wang Baoqiang, the film has received more than 600 million at the box office and has attracted widespread attention.
E Jingwen, a female artist who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, quickly attracted the attention of the public with the title of the new "Star Girl". As a well-known comedian and director, Stephen Chow has become popular with many actresses, whether it is Zhang Min, Mok Wenwei, Zhu Yin in the past, or Huang Shengyi, Zhang Yuqi, and Lin Yun now, they are all loved by the audience.
There are few movie actresses who have worked with Stephen Chow who can't get a good development. However, there are always exceptions, such as E Jingwen being a unique case. used to be a "star girl", but now she has been reduced to an out-of-fashion female artist outside the third line, E Jingwen's silence made me see the cruelest reality in the entertainment industry.
So, five years later, how is she doing now? E Jingwen was born in 1989 in an ordinary family in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, and her parents expected her to become an outstanding person.
E Jingwen's parents always wanted her to be a learned and talented girl. When she was born, her parents named her "Obo", which enshrined their good expectations for their daughter.
However, her career path was not smooth, which made her start to revisit her name. Compared with many female stars who became popular later, E Jingwen did not have outstanding appearance when she was a child, but in the crowd, her figure was slender and well-proportioned, and her lively and cheerful personality also made her deeply loved.
As a result, her parents decided to let her learn dance, which might help her find her own direction. However, despite her efforts, she is not a dance-talented person.
Her Achilles tendon is longer than that of her classmates, which gives her no innate advantage in dancing. Despite this, she did not give up, believing that as long as she worked hard, she would definitely achieve her dreams.
Despite his extraordinary talent, the principle that hard work can make up for his shortcomings is still valid. However, E's performance in dance is not outstanding, and no matter how hard she tries, she is unable to reach an impressive level.
She once laughed at herself: "I always try to fight for things that win with talent. Therefore, in every teacher's dance rehearsal, she is always placed in the second row, although it is not conspicuous.
In order to encourage the children who are learning dance, the teacher often asks, "If you had the opportunity, would you like to stand forward?" Although E Jingwen said "I didn't think about it" on the surface, in private she worked harder than anyone else, and she longed for her teacher to see her progress and give her a chance to move forward.
At one time, people had almost no expectations of E Jingwen, believing that she was born with a lack of talent and could not achieve anything no matter how hard she tried. However, Ejingwen is a girl with tenacity and perseverance since childhood, and she understands that she lacks talent, so she trains hard repeatedly, always believing that hard work can make up for clumsiness.
Her hard work has finally paid off. When her companions gave up dancing for various reasons, only E Jingwen persevered. This young girl, with her tenacity and hard work, has developed excellent dance skills, and has become the only student in her class who has the opportunity to go to Beijing for further study.
This year, E Jingwen was only 11 years old, and his plans for the future were not very clear.
Since the moment E Jingwen set foot in Beijing, she has had a lot more opportunities than her classmates in her hometown. As she grew older, she came to realize that there were certain aspects of dance that she could never break through.
So, she found a new purpose in life - acting. In order to realize this seemingly unattainable dream, she participated in the interview of the ** Drama Academy. Although her appearance is not outstanding, she can let go when performing, which left a deep impression on the invigilator.
Although acting schools pay attention to physical conditions, students with outstanding characteristics and acting talents will also be considered. Therefore, E Jingwen was finally successfully admitted to the Performance Department of ** Drama Academy.
E Jingwen does not have outstanding appearance advantages like beauties such as classmates Song Yi and Jiang Kai, however, the entertainment industry is a place that pays great attention to appearance.
Many students with outstanding looks have been selected by the script before graduation, but E Jingwen has never been cared for. E Jingwen clearly knows that she does not have particularly outstanding qualities, but at the same time, she also knows that only by continuing to work hard can she improve her acting skills.
Therefore, she has always insisted on constantly polishing her acting skills and striving to make greater progress in the field of acting. It was precisely because of E Jingwen's hard work and excellent performance ability that she quickly attracted the attention of a small theater.
The small theater invited her to participate in some plays. At first, E Jingwen could only play tricks on stage and play some less important roles. But she didn't feel depressed because of this, but cherished this opportunity even more and performed every role with her heart.
On stage, E Jingwen has experienced countless experiences of being dragged around and kneeling on the ground, which are commonplace. However, she never gave up and always worked tirelessly.
Her persistence and hard work eventually paid off, and her acting skills gradually gained recognition from the audience.
Although the stage is simple and full of wooden thorns, E Jingwen has always worked the stage with professionalism, and won the heroine status of the small theater with perseverance and enthusiasm. Her love for acting and her awe for the audience allowed her to find the strength to move forward on the difficult road.
However, when she was enthusiastically chasing her acting dream, she was opposed by her rich second-generation boyfriend. He tried to stop her from chasing her dreams, but E Jingwen was not swayed by his opposition, but strengthened her love and pursuit of acting.
E Jingwen revealed that her boyfriend has a wealthy family, has industries at home and abroad, and is a billionaire. However, her boyfriend did not show any special affection for her, he did not buy any luxury goods for her, nor did he use his connections to help her develop her career, let alone give her a property or a car.
Until E Jingwen found out that her boyfriend's purpose in looking for her was to hope that she would give up her career and return to her family to become a good wife and mother. I chose her because she was ordinary-looking and reliable.
Her boyfriend asked about E Jingwen's income, offered to provide her with financial support and persuaded her to quit the entertainment industry. E Jingwen resolutely refused and insisted on his acting career. The two broke up due to a disagreement.
E Jingwen is already one of the best heroines in the small theater, she looks glamorous on the outside, but the bank account balance is pitiful. She firmly believes that as long as she works hard, there will be a turnaround one day.
However, reality cruelly told her that she was too naïve. After graduating, E Jingwen ran around for group interviews with his resume, but was rejected again and again. In fact, this can't be blamed on the crew, after all, a "three-no" actor like E Jingwen who has no appearance, no fame, and no background, which director will take the initiative to come to the door to cooperate?
Having no drama to shoot means losing the security of life.
In order to gain a foothold in Beijing, E Jingwen could only take a temporary post in the Coal Mine Art Troupe. During this time, she worked and honed her acting skills. She also understood that her appearance was not enough to break into the mainstream market, so she decided to devote herself to the field of comedy.
In order to devote herself to comedy, she even gave up a stable iron job.
With the broadcast of Mango Channel's "Variety Show" in 12 years, a comedy trend has been blown in the TV drama industry. In 2014, Hubei Satellite TV's "I'm a Comedy Maniac" also stood out from the competition.
Resigning from a stable working life, E Jingwen joined the challenging world of comedy as an amateur. With her talent and hard work, she has been highly praised by her mentors Guo Degang, Yingda, Xie Na and others.
In the end, after fierce competition, E Jingwen lived up to expectations and became the champion.
Guo Degang's acceptance of apprentices made her quickly attract attention at the show; Soon, she appeared on the CCTV stage and received an invitation to film and television dramas. Two years later, she participated in the comedy talent show "Smiling Proud Jianghu" again, and won the favor of judge Song Dandan with her unique performance style, and accepted her as an apprentice on the spot.
E Jingwen's performance also won the appreciation of Andy Lau and Stephen Chow, and Andy Lau even reserved a role for her in the movie "Blood Choir", in which he served as the producer and starring, which shows his appreciation of E Jingwen's talent.
After filming this drama, Andy Lau, who is full of respect for talents, invited her to participate in the second film, however, unfortunately, because Andy Lau fell and injured later, the movie had to be temporarily shelved.
Also because of his participation in the variety show "Smiling Proud Jianghu", E Jingwen was favored by Stephen Chow. After a series of tests, E Jingwen successfully won the heroine of Stephen Chow's new film "The King of New Comedy", and her partner is Wang Baoqiang, a grassroots star with high national popularity.
This movie is Stephen Chow's sister tribute to his classic work "The King of Comedy", and the role of E Jingwen in the play is set as the female version of "Yin Tianqiu", a young actor who has been unknown for many years and plays a trick in the film.
Because of his similar mental journey with the characters in the play, E Jingwen seems to be at ease when performing. After the movie was released, although the reviews were mixed, the box office performance was mediocre.
However, E Jingwen, who wears the halo of the new "star girl", is undoubtedly the biggest winner. Because he has starred in Stephen Chow's new film, E Jingwen has received countless attention and attention.
Just when everyone thought that this lucky "star girl" would usher in the full flowering of her acting career, E Jingwen suddenly "disappeared". After the release of "The New King of Comedy", Stephen Chow warned her to try her best to avoid filming scenes that are not suitable for her, and to take on those roles that can fully show her acting skills.
Someone asked her why she didn't take advantage of her status as a "star girl" to make more money, and she replied easily: "I'm 30 years old, not a moment and a half." However, she may not realize that in the ever-changing entertainment industry, no ** degree is equivalent to being in a passive state.
Sure enough, she didn't wait for a good script and was quickly forgotten. After realizing the crisis, she participated in the acting reality show "Actors Please Be in Place" in October 2019.
During this period, she showed excellent acting skills, and the judges also gave her a very high evaluation.
In this intense reality show, E Jingwen performed well, but in the end he failed to advance to the finals, which is regrettable. Although this is an S-level variety show, the eliminated E Jingwen unexpectedly gained a lot of attention.
However, even if she returned to the public eye, E Jingwen's acting career was not smooth, and her performance in Mango Channel's talk show "Listen to Sister" did not cause much repercussions.
From a supporting role on the big screen to a protagonist in a small theater, E Jingwen has gone through the journey from a star to a marginal person. Her image limitations and Buddhist personality cause her to often wander on the edge of the entertainment industry.
Although she was a "star girl", she did not use this identity too much to hype herself and gain attention. Now, she is back on the stage and regaining her place.
Not everyone who goes into showbiz can become a superstar, and it takes just the right opportunity. For example, today is rewarded for hard work, and E Jingwen has found a life rhythm and work style that suits him.
Although she is not a household name, she is often favored by directors, and she can stand on the stage of her favorite drama and live a quiet and comfortable life. In the highly competitive entertainment industry, E Jingwen seems to have found his position.
If that's the case, then she's not in a bad situation right now.
