In 2011, the film "Xinhai Revolution" was filmed in Hengdian. The film brings together many stars, in which Chen Chong plays Yehenara Jingfen, also known as Empress Longyu.

There is a scene in which Empress Longyu discusses state affairs with the Manchu Minister of Culture and Military Affairs. Chen Chong sat on the throne, and at a glance, there was a black pressure below, standing full of actors playing the minister. Suddenly, she saw two familiar faces, old classmates of hers when she was studying acting in the acting class. At that time, they studied together, frolicked together, kicked their legs and lower backs together, and practiced "eight hundred pacesetters running to the north slope..."

And now, decades have passed, and I sit in the position of the protagonist, while my old classmates in the past are mixed up in the crowd to play the masses. For a moment, I felt a thousand emotions, as if I was in a different world.

The past is also like a tidal wave, gushing into the heart.

Chen Chong felt that it was purely an accident that he could go to the screen and become an actor.

When she was young, she didn't think about acting, and no one in her family was engaged in the profession of acting. If nothing else, she is more likely to become a doctor, or a translator. Because most of the elders in her family are medical practitioners and are experts. Her grandmother, on the other hand, wanted her to become a translator.

Chen Chong's personality is naturally introverted and not good at communicating with outsiders. When you encounter a raw face, you will blush. It's not good material for being an actor.

But little girls love beauty, and Chen Chong is no exception. When I was 14 years old, I watched the movie "Spring Miao" and felt that Li Xiuming was incredibly beautiful and envious. She secretly ran home, looked in the mirror, learned li xiuming's appearance, and read out Tian Chunmiao's line: "Qian Jiren, the filial son of the dog landlord, and du Wenjie as a patron, wants to climb to our poor and lower middle peasants' heads as a blessing!" "While learning, I thought, if the person on the screen is myself, how good would it be?"

Unexpectedly, the opportunity quickly ran to her.

Also in 1975, the movie "Jinggangshan" was ready to start filming, and the male protagonist chose Zhu Shimao, recommended by Li Xiuming. And there is a very cute female guerrilla in the play, who plays it? Assistant director Wu Zhennian thought of a candidate, that is, Chen Chong.

Chen Chong's aunt and Wu Zhennian were good friends, and once took out a photo of Chen Chong to show Wu Zhennian. The little girl with the green smile on the photo, especially the eyes full of aura, left a very deep impression on Wu Zhennian.

To this end, she specially came to Chen Chong's house and invited Chen Chong to the film studio to try the play.

At that time, Chen Chong didn't understand anything. Wearing only a patched old military uniform, he went. The office was full of people, and everyone looked at her with scrutinizing eyes, which made her very uncomfortable. But she was so desperate to present herself in front of these people that she plucked up enough courage to raise her head and pretend to look at them calmly. In fact, my heart was panicked, and my heart was about to jump out.

Since it is an interview, it is natural to perform. But Chen Chong couldn't do anything, he couldn't sing or dance. But just when everyone was feeling a little disappointed, she suddenly said: I can recite "Serving the People". Everyone looked at each other. So Chen Chong added another sentence and memorized it in English.

Chen Chong learned English from an early age. Her grandmother studied in England and spoke great English. Therefore, he became Chen Chong's first English teacher. When Chen Chong recited "Serving the People" for everyone in pure English, everyone in the room was surprised. Unanimously agreed: this little girl, very brave, looks good and Peugeot, is a good material.

But at that time, Chen Chong was not the only candidate actor. There was also a little girl, very pretty, with big bright eyes, long curled eyelashes, and most importantly, she could also speak standard Mandarin, which was almost a necessary condition for becoming an actor in that era.

Therefore, Chen Chong immediately felt inferior in front of this girl. Originally quite confident, she also became as unspiring as a frosted eggplant. Before she even started acting, she already felt the cruelty of the actor's profession, that is, to be contrasted forever. The result of the comparison is that she feels that she is not good enough, that she is a fake and inferior product.

And it is also this extreme insecurity and insecurity, so Chen Chong has been working hard to make himself better. She said that all my life, I have tried to turn myself from a shoddy product into a genuine gemstone.

Apparently, she succeeded.

In the end, the "Jinggangshan" crew still selected Chen Chong.

She rushed to the shooting scene with great excitement. Not only did she practice the line she was going to say, but she also learned to try to get inside the character and feel the sadness or joy of the character like an experienced old actor. In the script, the words with tears in her eyes and trembling lips were written, and she repeatedly thought about how to reflect them.

But before she could figure it out, suddenly one day the crew announced that it had disbanded.

This made Chen Chong's emotions, like a roller coaster, descend from the high point to the bottom of the valley in an instant. She has a very "bamboo basket to hit the water empty" feeling. I felt that my movie dream was shattered. No longer can be like Li Xiuming, on the big screen, show their own cool and heroic beauty.

However, there are accidents in life from time to time, and there are surprises everywhere.

Soon, Bi Likui, the production director of Shanghai Film Studio, brought good news to Chen Chong. At that time, the Studio was preparing to hold an actor training class and was recruiting actors, and Zhang Ruifang, who was in charge of enrollment, was very optimistic about Xiao Chen Chong.

This news made Chen Chong overjoyed. One is that he actually has the opportunity to become a professional film actor, and the other is that he was actually favored by Zhang Ruifang. And Zhang Ruifang, that's a great artist.

To this end, Chen Chong was determined to study hard and never fail to live up to the ardent hopes of these predecessors.

In this way, she walked into the actor training class held by the Shanghai Film Studio. I met many good friends in the class, including the two old classmates I met on the shooting scene of "Xinhai Revolution".

Chen Chong was really luckier than everyone else. She was soon selected by Xie Jin, the big director of the studio, to play a mute girl in the movie "Youth". She was almost the first person in this student class to have the opportunity to make a movie, and she was a big heroine. How enviable.

Her performance in "Youth" is very outstanding, although it is a fledgling, but the performance is simple and natural, and many places are still vivid. The most important thing is that her pure and beautiful face is very moving. In 1978, when this face appeared on the cover of People's Film magazine, many fans felt their eyes light up.

Chen Chong became popular because of this and began to taste the taste of being a star for the first time.

But at that time, Chen Chong did not seem to have any intention of engaging in the profession of actor for a long time. Although she felt that being an actress was very beautiful. But her family hopes that she will go back to school and learn more real skills.

So after filming "Youth", Chen Chong went back to school to study. At that time, her grandmother made a plan for her, that is, to learn foreign languages well and prepare for studying abroad.

However, because of the success of the film "Youth", many directors have discovered Chen Chong's potential as an actor. No, Pan Wenzhan, an old actor who has played roles in movies such as "Heavy Light of the Earth", "Cuigang Red Flag", and "Southern Expedition and Northern War", came to Chen Chong's school one day.

It turned out that Pan's elder was entrusted by his wife Zhang Zheng to invite Chen Chong to play the heroine Zhao Xiaohua in the new film "Tongbai Hero" directed by Zhang Zheng. In fact, there were many actors competing for this role at that time, including Liu Xiaoqing, who later became famous. But director Zhang Zheng still insisted on choosing To use Chen Chong, because in Chen Chong, she saw the innocence and simplicity of the character.

Chen Chong was very serious at that time, and her family did not want her to delay more filming. However, after Chen Chong read the script, he liked the role of Zhao Xiaohua very much. And in her heart, she longs for the very tense and free life of the film crew. So she eventually took on the film.

This movie is the "Little Flower" that was later sensational and was hailed as "a small flower that announces the spring of Chinese cinema".

Chen Chong won the honor of Best Actress at the 3rd Hundred Flowers Awards for Successfully Portraying Zhao Xiaohua. For a while, she became the top female star of the time. In this regard, Liu Xiaoqing, who also participated in the evaluation, was quite unconvinced, and she believed that her acting skills were by no means worse than Chen Chong.'

And now, when Chen Chong recalls the youthful past of that year, what he remembers most is not the glorious moment when he stood on the podium, but some interesting things that happened in the process of shooting the movie "Little Flower".

She met two outstanding actors, Tang Guoqiang and Liu Xiaoqing, in the crew.

She thinks that Liu Xiaoqing is very beautiful and has a unique charm of mature women. It made her jealous.

And meeting Tang Guoqiang, let this 18-year-old girl taste what is a crush.

At that time, the crew of "Little Flower" gathered a large group of young and beautiful young actors. In addition to Chen Chong, Tang Guoqiang, Liu Xiaoqing, the three leading actors, there are also young actors who are being trained in the actor training class of the North Film Studio, who have also participated in the film practice and made cameo roles in the masses. In order to enrich the lives of young people, the crew will regularly hold some dance parties, and Chen Chong will actively participate in it every time.

Amid the music of Jooman, under the misty light, she felt her heart slowly opened and entered a world she had never been to before.

Especially when I saw Tang Guoqiang, oh, he was so tall, so handsome, his skin was as white as cream, he was completely a "Prince Charming", which would make Chen Chong lose himself. Every time she saw Tang Guoqiang's handsome face, her heart thumped.

She was afraid to see Tang Guoqiang, and she was especially looking forward to seeing him. Every time at the dance, she was excited to hope that Tang Guoqiang would come first to invite her. If he invited Liu Xiaoqing, she would be very uncomfortable in her heart.

It is estimated that it is also because of Tang Guoqiang, and she compares herself with other actresses in the crew. At that time, the crew had an actress named Sui Yongqing, who played Ding Meishuang in the film. Sui Yongqing is tall, fashionably dressed, and exudes a moving charm. Chen Chong was very envious of her.

And Liu Xiaoqing, not only looks beautiful as a flower, but also has a cheerful personality, and can mingle with anyone at the first time, especially always laughing with Tang Guoqiang, regardless of the eyes of others, which also makes Chen Chong feel as mixed as overturning the condiment bottle.

And Liu Xiaoqing and Tang Guoqiang actually treat Chen Chong as a child.

At that time, Tang Guoqiang knew that Chen Chong's English was good, so he always looked for her to learn English. When taking location shots in Huangshan Mountain, he also liked to drag her around to look around and take pictures, just like his sister.

However, Chen Chong's feelings for Tang Guoqiang were not like this. In her own words: Tang Guoqiang at that time pervaded my every thought.

However, at that time, Tang Guoqiang was already engaged, and his fiancée was Sun Tao, an assistant military doctor at the Bayi Factory at that time. Sun Tao was born in a military family, his father was a cadre at the level of the regular army, and his mother was also a revolutionary soldier, so he could be called a "high-ranking cadre's child".

At that time, Sun Tao would often call the guest house where the actors were staying to find Tang Guoqiang, and if it was Chen Chong who received the call, he would deliberately say to Sun Tao: Tang Guoqiang? He seemed to be in Liu Xiaoqing's room.

Why?

I think Zuo is just a manifestation of the little girl's sour and vinegary.

Later, Tang Guoqiang got married. Chen Chong and many actors in the crew congratulated him. Everyone else was happy and laughing, but Chen Chong felt that his heart was empty at once. She sat there pretending to laugh, but in her heart, there was a sadness as deep as the water of the lake.

At that moment, she seemed to feel that she had suddenly grown up.

Growing up means that she will face more choices and, at the same time, she will lose many things.

Oh, at this time, she is no longer the innocent dumb girl in "Youth", nor is she the little flower who does not understand the world in "Little Flower". She became a big girl, and whether she liked it or not, she had to learn to face her own life alone.

Two years later, Chen Chong went to the United States. Then she became the wanrong of Bernardo Berdoruzzi's film The Last Emperor. The face is covered with thick makeup, as if it has changed into a person. The purity of the old "Little Flower" is gone, and in its place is a sexy woman who exudes mature charm.

She became an international film star, and her acting skills were more mature and stable. She reached the pinnacle of her life and became the object of the stars and the moon. But when she calmed down, she still missed those carefree times when she was young. Those youthful and ignorant past events are like a world away. When I think about it now, all that remains is a thousand emotions.

"Time never returns, the past can only be recalled..." When Teresa Teng's singing voice sounded again, the corners of Chen Chong's mouth revealed a faint smile. She froze for a moment, stood up straight, and threw herself into the filming of the next scene.
