More than three years have passed since Zhao Jinmai starred in "The Wandering Earth" starring female Number One.
Filmed at the age of 14 and released at the age of 17, she was only paid 50,000 at the time, and unexpectedly entered the top five of the box office of all actresses in the Chinese film industry! She starred in "The Wandering Earth" Chinese mainland the box office reached 4.655 billion yuan! Overnight, Zhao Jinmai, who was born in 00, became the topic heroine of one of the world's most eye-catching films.
At a young age, she has borne the "weight of the crown", but looking back at the experience of this box office queen, you will find that she is young and promising, and everything is traceable.
As early as 2010, only 8-year-old Zhao Jinmai began to officially enter the show business circle, she played the cute Ling Meiqi in "Balala Little Magic Fairy", is the "love bean" like existence among children, even Li Xiang's daughter Wang Shiling, has publicly stated that she is a fan of Ling Meiqi.
Two years later, a "little parting" of "education is the way to become a talent, but also a dyeing tank and whirlpool", let the audience call out the sense of empathy in addition to the sense of reality, but also remember the calm, well-behaved and considerate primary school bully Jinqinqin.
Later, Zhao Jinmai and the "Han Duoduo", who was accused by countless viewers of being cowardly and crying, was immature enough to grow into a big girl together.
"The Wandering Earth" is the first step of Zhao Jinmai's real shooting as an actor after filming "Balala Little Magic Fairy", although the acting skills are not mature enough, but it is of great significance to her.
The high box office + good reputation of "The Wandering Earth" may be the peak of how many actors have pursued their acting careers in a lifetime, and this sudden and huge success is fortunate that this 17-year-old girl at the time did not let her mind go, but continued to live a low-key life and precipitate acting skills.
Today, three years later, her "Beginning" is another good start.
Today's domestic drama themes have been tightened again, the restrictions have only increased, knowing that it is the subject of the fire, but can not be filmed, and the audience's appetite will not be limited to "silly white sweet love", "the war of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law", "the power grab of the giants" and so on.
What makes the audience feel relieved is that under such restrictions, domestic filmmakers continue to make new attempts and develop new themes in other ways. "Beginning" produced by noonday sun also confirms that domestic dramas can also have sophisticated creations.
The themes of "time loop" and "infinite flow" in "Beginning" are rare in domestic dramas, which are similar to the cross-over themes prohibited by radio and television, but they cleverly avoid the ban, and the settings on the plot and characters are more rich and diverse.
Although "Beginning" is not as exquisite as "Source Code", "Westworld", and "Edge of Tomorrow", it is set in a science fiction background, two ordinary people who lack the aura of the protagonist experience the time loop and find the truth, and experience life and death challenges again and again to achieve self-growth.

The test of human nature, the expression of emotions, these "points" that can empathize with the audience, and then reduce the "sense of suspension" of the story in science fiction movies, which has also become a major highlight of this play.
Zhao Jinmai, as the heroine of this drama, is also the first starring work in the beginning of the year after she precipitated and honed her acting skills.
Li Shiqing, played by Zhao Jinmai, and Xiao Heyun, played by Bai Jingting, have the memory of each cycle, and after the bus explosion, the two of them try to find the murderer and avoid danger again and again. Every time there is a new discovery in the wilderness, but also with teammates to run and cooperate, to find the only way to survive, it is this sense of urgency for PUBG, affecting the audience's heart, followed by a "cycle".
Zhao Jinmai has a great advantage in himself, and he is extremely malleable. Her face is not a beautiful and moving first-glance beauty, but fresh and clear with a hint of heroism, such an advantage is reflected in the acting skills, both gentle and atmospheric, but also sweet and soft, but also arbitrary, give the current emotional reaction when filming, and will not appear deliberate.
In "The Beginning", when she is caught in a repetitive cycle, the emotional response of uneasiness and fear is given very really and in place.
Playing with old drama bones can also be picked up very naturally. In the scene where someone stabs his throat with a knife and dies in the neck, he can't slide off the seat and then sit up with a huge desire to survive, the despair and strong suffocation in his eyes, and the courage to throw a lonely bet, which you can empathize with across the screen.
Zhao Jinmai interprets these emotional changes and psychological dynamics to the fullest, with a great sense of involvement, and since the beginning of the broadcast, there have been continuous personal topics and super heat every day.
Since the launch of "Beginning" 10 days ago, the cumulative number of plays has reached 668 million, and the number of plays yesterday alone has reached 163 million! The heat and data are so amazing!
For an actor, the most important thing is actually the "audience relationship" that most audiences recognize, and several TV drama works before "Beginning" have laid a good foundation for Zhao Jinmai's audience popularity.
From a young junior high school student, to a retrograde doctor, to a two-dimensional returnee girl, to Liu Shiqing, who is now seeing righteousness and courage, Zhao Jinmai is right under our eyes, completing the transformation from a child star to a young powerful actor.
The significance of "Beginning" for Zhao Jinmai is not less than that of "The Wandering Earth", precisely because the scene layout of "Beginning" is small, the story is simple but logical, and even the costume modeling is relatively single, without the additional factors of "bells and whistles", so the tempering of acting details and the control of subtle emotions are extremely demanding, which she has done.
These two film dramas, the former opened her vision, like a "heavenly koi" into the audience's vision, laid a brilliant starting point for her, while the latter is based on her consolidation, showing a more layered acting skill after precipitation, not to live up to her efforts, but also to the audience to deliver satisfactory answers.
My family has a daughter who has just grown up, she presents a beautiful face of the girl from youth to gradual maturity, and what kind of achievements she will achieve in the future, may wish to wait and see
