We often talk about the mid-life crisis of actresses, such as Yao Chen and Haiqing, who have talked about it publicly.
After reaching middle age, actresses will be greatly affected by both their appearance and their acting path.
But there is an actress who completed a counterattack in middle age and amazed countless people again.
She is Yan Ni.
Yan Ni, who was once ridiculed for "soil", has transformed into a perfect goddess with her good figure and good looks in recent years, ushering in a reversal of life.
From "rustic" to a popular goddess, what has Yan Ni experienced over the years?
In 1971, Yan Ni was born in an ordinary working family in Xi'an, the youngest daughter of the family.
Yan Ni's ability to form a relationship with art has a lot to do with her growing up since childhood.
When she was 15 years old, Yan Ni's family moved from the west of the city to the south of the city and lived near the Xi'an Film Studio.
At that time, Yan Ni studied in middle school, and many of the students were children of Xi'an Film Studio, so the artistic atmosphere was also relatively strong.
In this way, Yan Ni also began to be full of infinite curiosity and love for art, and quietly changed her life.
After graduating from high school, her classmates have applied for art universities one after another, and Yan Ni is no exception.
But this time, Yan Nicole was not so lucky, she applied for Nortel and failed to perform.
In 1988, Yan Ni was admitted to Shaanxi University of Finance and Economics to study business management, which has nothing to do with art.
Yan Ni, who has no interest in business management, has always had a dream of being an actress in her heart, and she is silently waiting for an opportunity.
It wasn't until 1990 that Yan Ni, who was in her sophomore year, finally ushered in a big turning point in her life.
At that time, the Lanzhou Military Region Repertory Troupe came to Xi'an to enroll students, which made Yan Ni, who loves acting, very excited, and went to apply for the exam without thinking about it.
As a result, this time, Yan Ni's waiting and dedication were not in vain, she was admitted to the repertory troupe as she wished, and became a literary soldier.
That year, Yan Ni was 19 years old.
After fulfilling her artistic dream, Yan Ni felt that her whole life had become brighter, and she began to desperately chase her acting dream.
Yan Ni, who was regarded as a good seedling cultivator by the repertory troupe, later went to the Performance Department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts to study and lay a good foundation.
Yan Ni's acting career has always been gradual, so her acting skills are very good.
After 4 years of training, Yan Ni was transferred to work at the Television Art Center of the Political Department of the Air Force.
Here, she finally starred in the first drama "Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang", and became the heroine for the first time, but there were not many scenes.
However, Yan Ni, who officially debuted, had a very unsatisfactory starting point in acting, with fewer dramas and more tricks.
After that, as long as Yan Ni starred in dramas, she played some dispensable supporting roles, which was not inconspicuous at all.
At that time, Yan Ni often heard a sentence that was, you can't do it.
Because her appearance and dress are relatively rustic, Yan Ni can only play some rural women's roles when she comes to various crews to play in the future.
Later, Yan Ni also joked at herself: "Because I may have been very village at that time."
However, Yan Ni didn't complain too much, but was more desperate and optimistic, even if it was all tricks, she didn't care.
She said, "Anyone looking for me, I immediately ran away." ”
For a period of time, Yan Ni was filming almost every day, and even a month after giving birth, the first thing on Yan Ni's mind was filming.
She called ** to the head of the art troupe at that time and said:
Now that I've regained my figure, I can come out to film, what good opportunities do you have to remember to find me. ”
Later, many good-looking colleagues became popular one after another, but the desperate Yan Ni has been unknown, and even her friends feel anxious for her.
"You've been filming all day long, when will you become a big name in Yan? ”
In 1999, Yan Ni, who had been running for nearly 10 years, finally ushered in an important turning point in her acting career.
She participated in the movie "Rooster Crows, Hen Lays Eggs", starring in the role of the female village chief, which is also her first time playing the female number one.
That year, Yan Ni was 28 years old, and although she entered the industry early, she emerged very late.
All of this is not worth it in the eyes of others, but Yan Ni is indifferent.
"I don't think that much because I think it's something I'd love to do. ”
Because of her love for acting from the bottom of her heart, it was only a matter of time before Yan Ni became popular.
With her outstanding performance in the movie "Rooster Crows, Hen Lays Eggs", Yan Ni's comedy talent was favored by director Shang Jing.

Later, Yan Ni played two roles in "Health Express" directed by Shang Jing, which shows how much Shang Jing values Yan Ni.
After running for nearly 10 years and making guest appearances in several film and television dramas, luck finally befell Yan Ni.
In 2005, director Shang Jing's "Wulin Gaiden" instantly became popular all over the country, setting off a ratings frenzy.
Many actors in the play have jumped to the pinnacle of their careers, and Yan Ni is no exception.
At that time, Shang Jing found Yan Ni with the script of "Wulin Gaiden", hoping that she could star.
Yan Ni, who was born in a trick, just asked if she was the female number one, as long as she was the female number one, she would act in any drama.
"I heard it was a protagonist at the time, so I didn't care about anything and went on first. At that time, I didn't know what this play was about, so I acted first. ”
In this way, Yan Ni, who didn't care about the female number one, was really favored by fate, and finally became a late bloomer.
After the broadcast of "Wulin Gaiden", Yan Ni became famous in one fell swoop with the role of "Tong Xiangyu" and became popular all over the country.
That year, Yan Ni was 34 years old, and this so-called overnight popularity was earned by her for more than 10 years, and she deserved it.
Until now, as long as "Tong Xiangyu" is mentioned, Yan Ni will immediately come to mind.
Since then, Yan Ni, a treasure actress, has completely shone and ushered in a big explosion in her acting career.
Although Yan Ni's "Tong Xiangyu" is extremely classic, it does not restrict her acting path, and Sha Yi can't get rid of Bai Zhantang for a long time.
After becoming popular, Yan Ni did not get carried away, but precipitated herself even more.
In 2009, Yan Ni starred in another popular TV series "The North Wind That Blows", playing the role of Niu Huahua.

Even Zhang Yimou spoke highly of her like this:"Yan Ni is the most shy actor I have ever seen in private, but the most open to acting. ”
Compared with the hardships and inspirational in her acting career, Yan Ni in life has become a role model for independent women.
Yan Ni had a failed marriage, which was also a regret in her life.
In her early years, she married early and became a mother before she became famous.
It is understood that Yan Ni's ex-husband is a public servant, but Yan Ni rarely mentions it to the public.
After the two got married, Yan Ni also gave birth to a lovely daughter, and the family of three was plain and low-key.
At that time, Yan Ni had not yet become famous, and after getting married, she was busy with her acting career while teaching her husband and children.
