Many people about Zhou Xun do not know, where does the pure and lovely temperament of the Jiangnan woman on her body come from?
The problem is now finally solved.
One is the water and soil of the party that gave birth to her;
The second is the professional training of 15 years old during the art school;
Third, during the three years of study, when the model took a lot of photos of the shape;
The fourth is to meet a famous painter and become his royal model.

Because of the foundation laid by these four aspects, Zhou Xun has become wider and wider on the road of film and television and has become an international superstar.
Zhou Xun was born in 1974 in Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, his father was a poster painter in the local cinema, and since he was 3 years old, Zhou Xun has eaten and slept in the theater and watched all the Chinese and foreign movies at that time.

In 1989, at the age of 15, Zhou Xun was admitted to the Zhejiang Art School and learned ethnic dance. The hard work of the profession has laid a solid foundation for her to work as a graphic model or meet a famous painter, as well as to embark on the road of film and television.
During these three years, Zhou Xun liked to be a model, took a lot of photos to make wall calendars, and provided magazine cover photos.

Zhou Xun's first film, "Ancient Tomb Desert", was when director Xie Tieli took a fancy to her big-eyed little girl from a wall calendar and came to her.
At the age of 20, when he made the movie "Daughter Red", director Xie Yan found Zhou Xun through the cover photo of a magazine and embarked on the road of film and television.

During this period, the famous romantic realist artist Pan Honghai, also because of the coincidence of opportunity, saw Zhou Xun from the cover of the magazine and became a model for him to create the Jiangnan women's series.
After Pan Honghai returned from teaching in the United States, he always wanted to paint Jiangnan Water Town with oil paintings.

Since 1984, Pan Honghai has created Jiangnan themes, and after years of exploration, the original Jiangnan small bridge flowing water that is suitable for the expression of traditional ink painting has been replaced by oil painting.
And the picture is like a dream, soft and beautiful, full of poetry.

Subsequently, Pan Honghai added new content, so that the picture is not just the crooked Jiangnan bridge flowing water, not just the mossy gravel path, not just the white wall tiles reflected in the water, not just the creaking paddle sound in the smoke and rain fog.
There must be handsome and exquisite Jiangnan girls who will integrate the beauty of the water town into new life and emotions. Choosing a model that suits this scenario is key.
Choosing Zhou Xun made Pan Honghai one of the most discerning figures in the painter.
Zhou Xun was not only born in Qujiang, in the upper reaches of the Fuchun River, but also has the unique temperament of a girl in the water town of Jiangnan, and his appearance is very consistent with the theme he wants to create.
And this series of works, not only because Zhou Xun painted alive, but also did not expect Zhou Xun's fame to grow, and later became an international superstar, so that his works continue to appreciate in value.

In these works, Pan Honghai also painted a painting of Zhou Xun's human body, on which Zhou Xun holds a clay pot, the slightly fat face is still a little baby fat, the pure eyes are smiling, and the playful lips, young and green, the beauty of the girl is overwhelming (see figure 2 above).

On more works, Zhou Xun appears in different scenes, in the outdoor grass, in the field, and also indoors, posing with various actions and shapes, which are both natural and sweet and delicate, and the style is elegant.
