On the evening of November 20, the 2017 Victoria's Secret Show landed in Shanghai, and Victoria's Secret angels from all over the world made a beautiful appearance. Because the home stadium is at the doorstep, coupled with the gathering of many entertainment industry people, this year's show has a high degree of attention, and the accidental fall of Chinese supermodel Xi Mengyao on the stage has become a hot spot for a while.
The supermodels who wear their own halos, in fact, their charm is not only on the stage. Many models with outstanding images and temperaments are either discovered or take the initiative to broaden the development route, and they can often enter the film industry smoothly to become actors.
For example, Xi Mengyao co-starred in Xu Hongyu's directorial debut "Like You" with Jin Chengwu and Zhou Dongyu this year, in which she played Zhou Dongyu's lovely girlfriend "Xu Zhaodi" and played a couple with Sun Yizhou.
This is not her first time in a movie, as early as before the cameo luc Besson produced the action film "Warrior's Gate", playing a sexy dryad, but that can only be regarded as the first time to participate in film shooting, if the plot and role interpretation, or "The First Time" should be counted as Xi Mengyao's first film, the first role.
Supermodels cross-border films, which are very common at home and abroad. In recent years, Cuckoo, who has launched a number of film works in a row, is a typical example of the recent successful transformation, Cuckoo participated in the New Silk Road Competition in his early years, and then successfully entered the international stage and signed a contract with the international top model agency IMG.
In 2012, he was electrocuted for the first time and participated in Chen Kexin's "Chinese Partner", partnering with Huang Xiaoming. Although she has endorsed countless well-known brands and is already an international model, Cuckoo does not seem out of place in the film, but has been nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Supporting Actress and Best New Actor.
After that, Cuckoo, who has fashion, mystery and oriental beauty, was invited by many famous directors to participate in new films, such as Xu Zheng's "Hong Kong 囧", Zhang Yibai's "Passing Through Your World", and Wong Kar-wai's "Ferryman".
The cuckoo scenes in these films are very heavy, but the final degree of completion is not bad. Next, she also has Ma Chucheng's "European Raiders" to be released, and she will cooperate with Liang Chaowei again.
Domestic models turned into actors, and Qu Ying was an early representative. With a height of 1.75 meters, she was already a supermodel who won international awards in 1991, and Qu Ying is particularly that she was already a drama actress before she became famous as a model, so she is not surprised to be a film actress.
In 1991, she starred as the heroine of "Don't Ask Me Where I Came From", and her most well-known role in the 90s was "An Hong" in "Have Something to Say" with Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen. In the film, she has a short hair and a straightforward personality, and she grabs the attention of the audience as soon as she appears. Although the role is impressive, because it has long been famous, everyone does not regard Qu Ying as a girl.
In foreign countries, there are countless cross-border examples of supermodels. Hollywood films that attract global talent and resources often equip blockbusters with younger actresses to attract attention, among which several female models who are more famous and familiar to domestic audiences are Rosie Huntington-Whitley, Megan Fox, Mila Jovovich, Carla Divai, Toshio Okamoto, Hermione Korfield and so on.
Rosie Huntington-Whitley is a real supermodel, becoming a Victoria's Secret Angel in 2009, followed by Michael Bay's "Transformers 3", playing a couple with actor Shea LaBeouf, a visual blockbuster that made Rosie gain great popularity.
But she didn't take on more films since then, except for a minor supporting actress in Mad Max 4. Her husband is action superstar Jason Statham, and the two have been in love for a long time and often attend events together.
Before Rosie's work on Transformers 3, Megan Fox, also a supermodel, was the heroine of the first two films. Meghan modeled at the age of 13 and starred in "Holiday in the Sun" at the age of 15, but it was not until the age of 21 that she ushered in her first real solo film work, "Transformers", which has been popular all over the world ever since.
After that, she even acted in "Jennifer's Flesh", "Dictator", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series, etc., most of which highlighted her vitality and sexiness, and Megan has not yet been able to get rid of the vase positioning.
Eastern European beauty Mira Jovovich was recognized by a global audience with the "Resident Evil" series and has since become the spokesperson for "Alice". Prior to Resident Evil, Mira was originally discovered by French director Luc Besson, starring as the heroine in The Fifth Element and Joan of Arc, both of which portrayed herself as a strong woman.
She also originally came from the catwalk, and interestingly, she also starred in the comedy film Supermodel. Perhaps because she has played a female warrior too many times, Mira still starred in movies that are mostly action movies.
The supermodel who was favored by director Luc Besson and invited to participate in the film, in addition to Mira, is the heroine of this year's "Interstellar Agent" Carla Divai.
Divai is a Victoria's Secret Angel in 2012 and 2013, leaving the modeling circle to become an actor in 2015, first joining the DC movie "Suicide Squad" as a female villain, and then participating in "Interstellar Agent" as a heroine, and this year she has another movie "Fanatical Tulip", it seems that the current transformation and development is still smooth.
In the upcoming Wu Yusen movie "The Hunt", we will see the supermodel Okamoto Tatsumi from Japan again.
Tatsumi Okamoto is also an internationally active model, starring in the Hollywood blockbuster Wolverine 2 in 2013, working with Hugh Jackman, and later playing a secretary in Batman v Superman, where her current development is mainly focused on Hollywood.
