Ni Hongjie was once one of the "Top Ten Advertising Stars in China".
An underwear advertisement that doesn't look very explicit now puts her in the position of advertising queen at the time.
Such a form of advertising was too great at the time.
So that after the advertisement was broadcast, Ni Hongjie became popular overnight along with the goods.
With a beautiful figure and a somewhat god-like appearance, she became red overnight.
But a rumor that followed interrupted her path to popularity.
The rumor is that she is transgender.
The cause was a silk scarf around her neck when she was filming the commercial.
But later, I don't know why it was rumored that this scarf was tied to cover the throat knot.
The reason why there is a throat knot is because Ni Hongjie is transgender.
At the height of the discussion, some doctors even took the initiative to stand up and say that Ni Hongjie's surgery was done by herself.
This rumor spread unexpectedly, and it blinded Ni Hongjie at once.
So much so that for a long time she felt that shooting commercials brought bad things.
She rejected the entertainment industry for a long time, but turned around and came back to filming.
The detours taken at the beginning affected the first half of her life.
01、
Ni Hongjie is a person who will be special to others.
She was fostered by her parents at her aunt's house from an early age and lived with her grandmother.
Aunt and grandmother are extremely strict with people, and she is particularly discerning in her work under the fence.
Even when eating, she had to calculate: "If she eats too much, will she be unhappy if her aunt doesn't bring it tomorrow?"
On weekdays, she pays special attention to the every move of her grandmother and aunt, and even an expression, for fear that what is not done is thoughtful.
She lived carefully at home, and she was not welcome at school.
She is a loan student who pays for her studies, and her local classmates do not want money.
It is inevitable to be looked down upon by classmates.
Thin and small, she fought with her classmates for this, but she didn't cry or cry in pain, and turned around and left after the fight.
But basically every time I suffer losses.
In high school, she accompanied Xuexue to filming, and was discovered by a makeup artist who said she was good-looking.
A week later, the director approached her for an advertisement for a capsule.
A few years later, the makeup artist approached her to shoot an advertisement for a lingerie.
She thought it was a back and signed it.
When she entered the company to try on makeup, she found that the model wore very few clothes, and she cried at once.
The makeup artist comforted her: "It's all right, tomorrow you have a stand-in." ”
But the next day went and there was no stand-in.
She can not shoot, but she has to lose money.
She didn't have any money, and she didn't dare to ask her family for it, so she only had to shoot.
The family's attitude towards this advertisement is very subtle, but as long as the advertisement appears, the family will not say a word.
She knew that no one in her family was happy.
Friends knew that she was shooting advertising fire, let her go to the drama to learn.
But at that time, rumors of transgenderism were overwhelming, and the impact on her and her family was not small.
Causing her family to feel that acting is not a serious industry, she herself is not bothered, coupled with the coldness and lack of attention of her parents, she has always had a sense of inferiority and is reluctant to this industry.
Later, even though many scouts came to her to shoot advertisements, she was very resistant.
I think shooting advertisements is a lie.
Until someone came to her to shoot a TV series, she thought that maybe it was different from the advertisement, which gave her the heart to try.
But at that time, she would not pick the crew, no one in the family supported her, she always picked some small crews, and she could quickly finish filming the kind that went home.
Because the role is not important, she shoots in a sloppy way and feels that filming is very relaxed.
It's not bad to think you can support yourself.
Just so casually filming bad scenes, she thought it was quite good in those years.
After that, it ushered in Zhu Wushuang in "The Legend of Wulin".
02、
Ni Hongjie is a person who is not so good at getting along with people. Inferiority, introversion, awkwardness.
Since childhood, she has been basically alone, and her favorite friends have always been small animals, kittens and puppies.
Even after filming, she was always confused and didn't know what to do.
When filming those little broken scenes, she only needs to sell beauty.
Just stand there, put on nice clothes, and take two more graceful steps.
The crew is also a grass bench team, just to make money to get together a few types of work.
She rarely communicates with people and leaves after filming.
She was a lonely presence in the hilarious crew.
In the wulin biography, she wants to play a lively and even a little lack of heart and eyes.
She didn't know how to behave.
"The Tale of Wulin", a day to give an episode of the script, an episode of thick lines.
She was untrained, and the effort she could think of was to memorize her lines every day.
I feel that I memorize my lines very smoothly every day, which is a very good performance.
Years later, she herself would say she was sorry.
I don't know how to communicate with the director, I don't know how to do my homework.
Unfortunately, it was at that time that I met Zhu Matchless.
Until now, she had not fully watched "The Tale of Wulin".
But that was the scene she was most happy to shoot.
She felt like she had a friend, and she was on the mountain at the time.
She bought a car that could seat 5 people.
When she was resting, she was particularly happy to pull everyone down to eat hot pot together.
She grew up with no friends, and grew up alone and confused.
Her family is not too close to her, and she is not a long-sleeved dancer, and rarely takes the initiative to be close to others.
To people, she always had a feeling of timidity in her heart.
But in "The Legend of Wulin", for the first time, she felt that it was really good for everyone to be together.
There are kittens and puppies on the mountain, and she will play with them when she has nothing to do, watch the stars at night with the convention, and blow the mountain wind.
For the first time, she knew that the crew could be like this, eating together, playing and making trouble without fear of saying the wrong thing.
But it was also the saddest thing for her.
After that, whenever someone in the crew had something to do with her, especially for parties, she would always go.
But each time fewer and fewer people went.
She once felt genuinely uncomfortable: "Why is everyone so good when making TV dramas, and after a few years of filming, it is so difficult to even get together to eat?" ”
In fact, the answer is known to all people, only she is a simple fool.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, she can only escape her family while filming.
Although she did not shoot "Wu Wai Biao" well, she was still on fire, and she knew that she was blessed with peerlessness.
Everywhere she went, people watched, and she couldn't stand it.
She hoped to have a drama, and if she had money to earn money, she could support herself, but it was so hot that she couldn't cope with it.
There was a company that came to her to shoot a scene, and she was afraid and pushed it.
She had opened an inn in a remote place, and as a result was defeated by cleaning and repairing toilets every day.
She had been daydreaming and idle for a long time.
Someone asked her, Sha Yi Yao Chen is red, but you are not red, don't you care?
She said they all put in the effort, I didn't, I don't care.
When she saw people filming and crying, she was very envious.
But she always felt closed.
For a while I was very skeptical of myself, but I was still slowly going out.
03、
She is a Shanghainese, but she does not have the spirit in the bones of a Shanghai girl.
She is always a little confused, but for a good-looking girl who is in the entertainment industry, there is no sense of purpose, does not understand human feelings, and will not get along with people, which is not a good thing.
The same is true emotionally.
She got married very early.
The year the commercial was filmed, she was already married.
The reason is simple, living in her aunt's house, the uncle is drunk, and she and grandma can't do anything about it.
In order to avoid the uncle, the boyfriend temporarily placed her in a small pavilion in his house.
But Ni Hongjie's parents said that they would either get married or move out, so that even if they lived together, they couldn't.
In order to have a place to live, plus the relationship was good at that time, she got married.
The older boyfriend compensated for the paternal love she had always longed for.
A young, beautiful, and a little red girl, at the age of 21, married a not-so-rich man who was 7 years older than a house, which now seems incredible.
But for Ni Hongjie, life is to take one step at a time, and she has always been in a hurry.
After getting married, they also had a good life, and the two went on an outing together to watch movies together.
A few years later, the husband was anxious to get ahead in his career.
Ni Hongjie sold assets, plus savings to make up 3 million yuan for her husband.
The husband is not well run, has been losing money, and needs a loan.
It was difficult for her husband to get a loan.
But Ni Hongjie is a celebrity, go to the bank, people see that it is her, they are very relieved.
Ni Hongjie was pulled by her husband and signed one agreement after another.
In 2009, when Ni Hongjie was 30 years old, the economy still did not improve.
In order to let the marriage continue, Ni Hongjie decided to maintain the marriage by having children under extreme financial difficulties.
The child is born, but the husband becomes more and more decadent.
Ni Hongjie is poor at home, and her husband can lose ten thousand in one night outside.
The year after giving birth to the child, Ni Hongjie went to shoot "The Legend of Wulin".
Her performance foundation is not good, relying on Reiki.
But when filming the wulin story, the director said that her aura was gone.
Although she plays a cute and delicate girl who even has a lot of careful thinking.
But her performance is always reluctant.
Even laughing, sometimes it looks a bit contrived.
At that time, her whole person was in the shell, the whole person had a kind of anxiety and excitement, even if the filming was not so relaxed, she had regrets about Zhu Matchless.
After the scene was filmed, I went home and still kept arguing.
The family was in debt, Ni Hongjie was anxious, and she questioned her husband's debt in front of her husband's family.
About feeling hurting his self-esteem, the husband proposed a divorce.
After mentioning the divorce, the husband regretted it.
Ni Hongjie then lied to him: "You pursue me again, and then we will be together again, provided that you have to divorce me." ”
Unexpectedly, after the divorce, I found that my husband still had more than 10 million debts.
Because she was not red and earned very little money, it took her 2 years to return the money.
The debt was paid off, but Ni Hongjie was no longer young.
All she could play was the role of mother or sister.
04、
The entertainment industry is cruel, but there are also many opportunities.
Ni Hongjie's pursuit is not high, whether it is a supporting role or a fringed role, she does not matter.
This mentality has allowed her to receive a lot of drama all the time.
In 2020's "Actors Please Take Place", her performance was not so prominent, but she became popular with this show.
Because people think of the advertisements and blessings of many years ago.
With this show to become popular again, Wen Zhengrong.
In the end, it is only the actors who have been popular that can turn popular.
But in "Actors Please Take Place", her performance is still somewhat embarrassing.
Trying to integrate, wanting to perform well, but always a little blunt.
Seeing that Lou Yixiao's rating was better than hers, she could shout out on the spot, so that Lou Yixiao could not answer the call.
She doesn't talk and isn't good at socializing.
There is not even a quick wit, which is vividly expressed in the show.
But fortunately, after that, she gained popularity, and Ni Hongjie began to play various middle-aged women.
05、
Around 2000, there was a girl named Gao Yuanyuan, who was discovered by the star scouts and slowly gained popularity in the entertainment industry by relying on advertising.
The youthful invincibility of Gao Yuanyuan in the advertisement quickly made her appreciate by many big guys in the circle.
An advertisement for chewing gum allowed Gao Yuanyuan to successfully go out of the circle.
Gao Yuanyuan also met many big men in the circle through these channels.
Young and beautiful, she spoke softly, and soon she became a recognized goddess in the circle.
After starring in works such as "Love Spicy Hot", she ushered in "Can't Find the North".
The director of this film is Teng Huatao.
At that time, Gao Yuanyuan often took the initiative to go to the director to discuss the plot in order to perform.
Discussing and discussing, I had a scandal with the director.
Gossip is true or false, I won't say it here.
But in Gao Yuanyuan's subsequent acting career, the scandal has never been broken.
For example, there have been scandals with Zhang Yadong, a great talent in the music industry.
In 2001, she played the female one in "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle" directed by Wang Xiaoshuai.
Zhou Xun, who has already won the award, gave her a match as a female second.
According to Wang Xiaoshuai, he saw Gao Yuanyuan's advertisement so he invited Gao Yuanyuan to appear in a new play.
But it is also true that Wang Xiaoshuai and Zhang Yadong have a good relationship.
However, it does not matter how Gao Yuanyuan made this play, what is important is that the play won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.
It was also for this reason that Gao Yuanyuan won the opportunity of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", and also became friends with Jia Jingwen, and the two often went to the parties of various friends together.
Through many gatherings, Gao Yuanyuan also made friends with other insiders in the three places outside Beijing, and also laid the foundation for her subsequent development.
"Relying on the Sky to Slay the Dragon" made Gao Yuanyuan begin to have a real national degree.
In 2007, Gao Yuanyuan and Xia Yu spread a scandal again.
Xia Yu was the youngest movie emperor at the beginning, and in 2007 he was in the limelight.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether the scandal is true or not, because in the end Xia Yu still married Yuan Quan.
Therefore, what is going on in this relationship, outsiders have no way of knowing.
Then she and the actor Yu Xiaowei had a relationship.
But in the end, this relationship was summed up by Yu Xiaowei with three words "unreliable".
But it doesn't matter, she met Zhao Youting in the "Search" crew.
Zhao Youting had just won the Best New Actor Award at the Emperor and Asian Film Awards for "Leper Hero" and "Gang Gang", and the limelight was fierce.
The two soon became a couple.
In 2014, the two married.
Zhao Youting's family is good, his character is good, and Gao Yuanyuan is extremely happy after marriage.
When the "Perfect Partner" released in 2022 was filmed, Zhao Youting accompanied the whole process with his children and fully supported it.
In her career, Gao Yuanyuan is still a sought-after actress, and there are still directors who still miss her many years later at home.
She said that when she came out to shoot a scene, she even needed to do psychological struggle, because she didn't want to shoot.
It can be said that many actresses dream of things, Gao Yuanyuan has easily obtained.
06、
These two actresses, similar in age and appearance, have the same path to fame, but Gao Yuanyuan walks steadily at every step.
When Ni Hongjie was struggling with whether the advertisement was good or not, Gao Yuanyuan relied on the advertisement to go out of the circle.
All rely on advertising out of the circle, Ni Hongjie does not want to enter the entertainment circle, Gao Yuanyuan has begun to talk and laugh with the directors.
Ni Hongjie got married before she understood things, so much so that she had been sinking into an indescribable marriage for many years.
And the connections that Gao Yuanyuan made were better than one.
It is indeed difficult to distinguish between the true and false of those scandals, but there is a fact that it must be admitted that almost all of the friends around Gao Yuanyuan have a voice in a certain field.
It is a normal friendship relationship, and these are also her help.
Compared with Ni Hongjie's social embarrassment, Gao Yuanyuan's high emotional intelligence in the face of public dialogue has to be convincing.
Someone asked her why she didn't go to the variety show, and she replied that she didn't have talent.
There are countless circles of fans, and many people shout that my sister is sober.
Some people criticized her acting skills as a vase, and she also frankly admitted that she was mediocre.
Gentle attitude, not impatient.
Gao Yuanyuan is now more than 40 years old, and her appearance is still regarded as a guideline by many people.
But Ni Hongjie became a professional mother.
She plays a gray-headed mother and elder in various films.
She seems to have entered middle age and old age since zhu peerless.
Because after that, she hardly played a young person.
But in fact, she is not old, and she can really look forward to shenghui.
After walking a lot of roads, she is over 40 years old and begins to know how to use her appearance, and her temperament has a charm that has never been before.
Her acting skills also began to be slowly opened.
The corners of the eyes are no longer cramped, more calm and confident.
Although, she will still be happy, gaffe like a child.
When people say she's always been a supporting role, she says, "Everybody applauds me, I'm happy."
She found a boyfriend again, still not famous or very rich, when they met, they heard that she was going to Lanzhou to shoot a drama, and all the savings were only 9,000 yuan and had to buy her a storm jacket.
But Ni Hongjie said that she was very happy because her son grew up and fell in love with her boyfriend.
Compared with Gao Yuanyuan, who does not take every step in vain and speaks and does things flawlessly, Ni Hongjie is not the standard appearance of female stars.
Sometimes, she was even a little clumsy.
But so what?
To be a lucky person like Gao Yuanyuan, there are people to help at every key node, and the elegance and calmness of living is only a small probability event.
But Ni Hongjie has the shadow of each of us.
Will be overwhelmed, will wander, sometimes emotional, sometimes naïve, will choose the wrong, but still grope forward, this is the real way life is.
These two actresses are almost the peak of their appearance at this age, one is atmospheric and elegant, and the other is feminine and delicate.
They have a lot of differences, but what they all have in common is that they all bring beauty to everyone.
Do you know the story of these two actors?
