Many people only know that Chinese celebrities such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chow Yun-fat have developed in the United States, and in fact, there are many foreign stars who like Chinese culture.
For example, Hollywood actor Edward Norton, who has starred in famous movies such as "Fight Club" and "First-Class Fear", is a Chinese fan, and when he was studying at Yale University, he saw many films by Chinese directors Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others, and he "liked and even admired" these works.
American director Zach Schneider, who has filmed super blockbusters such as "Spartan 300 Warriors", "Superman: Man of Steel", and "Justice League", even tattooed a Chinese national emblem on his arm.
American wrestler and movie star John Senna soared Chinese in public and was affectionately known as "Zhao Xina" by Chinese audiences.
In addition, the Chinese characters of "Spider-Man" Tom Holland are also well written; Oscar-winning film emperor Adrian Brody loves painting, he personally admits that his painting style is deeply influenced by Chinese culture; "The Matrix" actor Keanu Reeves has studied tai chi and wants to explore the mysteries of Chinese culture...
Among these foreign stars who love Chinese culture, the British actress Rosa Mand peck is undoubtedly a very special one, because she directly gave herself a Chinese name "Pei Chunhua".
So why the name "Pei Chunhua"? Rosamand Pike himself has given an explanation.
The character "Pei" is one of the hundred family names in China, and there are many celebrities with the surname Pei in Chinese history, such as Pei Songzhi, who annotated the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and this word happens to be homophonous with the English surname of Rosamand Pike.
The word "Chun" carries three points of water, and Rosamand Pike's favorite sport is swimming, so she thinks that this word has her character, in addition, she also likes the word "Chun" with a simple, true meaning.
"Hua" has a remarkable meaning in Chinese characters, with the meaning of gorgeous and noble, and Rosamand Pike's English name means "the world of roses", and she believes that the word "Hua" is very suitable for her English name and also in line with her personal wishes.
So let's call her Pei Chunhua here.
Pei Chunhua first attracted global attention in "007's Chosen Day and Died". This film is Pierce Brosnan's last 007 film, the heroine is Harley Berry, who has just won an Oscar, and Pei Chunhua plays a double-sided spy in the film, which is a villain. At the time, she was only 23 years old, and she was radiant, and she did not lose the Oscar-winning queen in the movie, harley Berry, who was extremely domineering.
After "007 Die on the Chosen Day", Pei Chunhua has successively starred in well-known movies such as "Pride and Prejudice", "Doom", "Detective Jack" and so on, and its most familiar film to Chinese audiences is the suspense thriller "Disappearing Lover" directed by David Finch.
"007 Dies on a Chosen Day"
Pei Chunhua portrayed a beautiful, black-bellied, and fierce woman in the film, vividly and creepily, and her performance became a highlight of the film, and Pei Chunhua also won an Oscar nomination for the film. And Ben Affleck, who played with her, also used this film to get rid of the nightmare of the Golden Raspberry Award.
The release time of "007 Dies on the Chosen Day" and "The Disappeared Lover" is 12 years apart, and when she starred in the former, Pei Chunhua was only a 23-year-old girl, and when she starred in the latter, she was already a 35-year-old mature woman. However, the audience who has watched the two films should have an impression that although the two works are separated by 12 years, Pei Chunhua's appearance has not changed much, and she has become a famous "goddess of frozen age".
The Vanishing Lover
But the appearance of European and American actresses is aging, often sudden, Pei Chunhua is no exception, she starred in the new film "I Care" released a trailer not long ago. Pei Chunhua in the trailer, her face is obviously much older, and even wrinkles climb on her face.
In fact, Pei Chunhua is only 42 years old this year, and Zhang Ziyi, Gao Yuanyuan, Tang Wei, etc. are the same age, but compared to these Chinese actresses who are still glamorous, Pei Chunhua is obviously a little anxious.
It is reported that "I Care" tells the dark story of a snake and scorpion woman who grabs money from the elderly through legal means. In addition to Pei Chunhua, the film also stars Diane West, who has won two Oscars for Best Supporting Actress, "Little Devil" Peter Dinglaki and others, and the film will be released online in February this year.
