For an actor, it is impossible to create a classic role, just like Sun Wukong played by a six-year-old child, Xu Xian played by Ye Tong, and just like Lin Daiyu played by Chen Xiaoxu.
As one of the four famous works, "Dream of the Red Chamber" has many versions of TV series or movie interpretations, but the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a classic that the audience will never forget.
And Lin Daiyu, played by Chen Xiaoxu in the play, was called "a character from the book" by the audience, which surprised several generations.
But just as the so-called "good things in the world are not strong, the clouds are fragile and the glass is brittle", Chen Xiaoxu, who is an actor who interprets the classics and lays a hundred million dollars in business, died young at the age of 41.
At her funeral, her relatives and friends buried with 6,000 flowers, bidding farewell to her legendary life in the form of "burial flowers".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > a Lin sister fell from the sky</h1>
For the "Dream of the Red Chamber" director group at that time, Chen Xiaoxu's appearance was indeed "falling from the sky" and was not in their plan.
For Chen Xiaoxu, at that time, she was still a fledgling, only played a supporting role in a TV series, and did not expect to become a protagonist in such a large crew.
But Chen Xiaoxu is very fond of the book "Dream of the Red Chamber", when she was a child, she was thin and weak, and she did not like to talk, was often bullied by her classmates, and had no friends, so she often immersed herself in the sea of books alone.
It is precisely because of her lonely and melancholy temperament that she was called Lin Daiyu at that time, and under curiosity, she went to seriously read this famous book, and immediately fell in love with Lin Daiyu, and fell in love with the girl who was ice and jade, clean and lonely.
Influenced by Lin Daiyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber", Chen Xiaoxu also likes to write poetry, and her first poem "I Am a Willow Flower" published in "Young Poets" is because she was influenced by Lin Daiyu's "Yong shu poem" in the book.
The turning point came one night in 1983, when Chen Xiaoxu was lying on the couch watching "Jane Eyre" as usual, when her boyfriend Dai Dunbang walked in with a copy of Popular Television magazine.
The boyfriend knows that Chen Xiaoxu has always liked "Dream of the Red Chamber" and also likes Lin Daiyu, and the book he brought has the news that the Dream of the Red Chamber crew is choosing Bao Daichao.
In the eyes of the people around her, Lin Daiyu is synonymous with Chen Xiaoxu, so the boyfriend wants her to try it and not miss such an opportunity.
The boyfriend suggested that Chen Xiaoxu write a letter to director Wang Fulin, and Mao Sui proposed himself to play Lin Daiyu, which was not an easy decision for Chen Xiaoxu, who had been shy since childhood.
She thought of all kinds of excuses to refuse her boyfriend's proposal, what so many people in the country, the director will certainly not pay attention to herself, or go so far to Beijing, can not ask for leave, too much trouble.
The boyfriend exhausted all his strength and could not convince her, so he had to use the radical method, asking Chen Xiaoxu if he was timid, afraid of not being humiliated, and he successfully aroused Chen Xiaoxu's competitive spirit, chen Xiaoxu decided to write a letter to director Wang Fulin.
The two people summed it up, and in addition to the letter and photos, they also attached two small poems that Chen Xiaoxu had just written, and sent them to the director.
After the letter was sent, Chen Xiaoxu was anxiously waiting for a reply, and after a week, the director team replied to the letter, informing her that she could go to Beijing for an interview, but she took care of herself, and if she was not selected, she would not reimburse the travel expenses.
Even so, how could Xiao Xu, who loved Lin Daiyu, let go of such a good opportunity?
At that time, Anshan did not have high-speed rail, nor did she have a plane, and Chen Xiaoxu could only take a green-skinned train into Beijing after taking a leave of absence, and after two days of tossing and turning, she finally came to the city where this dream began.
Before meeting director Wang Fulin, there was a round of preliminary selection, and the other two teachers of the crew interviewed her first, and only through the primary selection could they meet the director.
For Xiao Xu, who is familiar with the Red Chamber, even if the two teachers have asked hundreds of questions about "Dream of the Red Chamber", she still passed the primary election with ease.
At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Chen Xiaoxu came to the seventh floor of the Overseas Chinese Building to accept the interview of director Wang Fulin, perhaps it was a good thing and a lot of grinding, it also rained heavily that day, although she had an umbrella, she was still drenched in soup chicken, the long twisted braids were wet, the pulled up pants were also wet, and the umbrella was constantly dripping water, and she appeared in front of the director slightly embarrassed.
Originally, Wang Dao had a skeptical attitude towards whether the little girl had read "Dream of the Red Chamber" well, but she did not expect that after a long discussion, she found that she was not only familiar with the characters in the book, but also the poetry and songs were given to zhangkou, and what was valuable was that she had her own views on the characters of the Dream of the Red Chamber, which was not simple.
In the days of going home and waiting for the results, Chen Xiaoxu was not idle, she read the Dream of the Red Chamber twice, wrote down a large notebook, and after more than half a year of waiting, she received the notification to join the group.
After this, the story is very familiar to everyone, after three months of training, in the fierce competition to pass the level, finally won the role of Lin Daiyu, and after three years became a hit, becoming the public's heart can never surpass Lin Daiyu.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > from the time it goes to sea to its birth</h1>
Chen Xiaoxu, who played "Dream of the Red Chamber", also found that she encountered a bottleneck in her career when she was popular all over the country, because everyone no longer regarded her as Chen Xiaoxu, but as Lin Daiyu, in fact, as Lin Daiyu's "fan", she was also very happy that everyone called her Lin Daiyu, but she did not want to limit herself to it.
After that, she starred in "Family Spring and Autumn", playing the cousin Of Mei in it, but everyone's feedback was not too good, thinking that she was still playing Lin Daiyu, which made her very frustrated.
She didn't participate in any more works for the next three years, didn't encounter a TV series or movie she wanted to make, and was in a very confused state.
Many years later, in an interview with Art Life, she recalled that time, when she could not see the goal of her own future path, she did not like the feeling of being sought after, rarely attended large events, but still felt that she could not do what she felt was valuable.
She once thought about going abroad, but due to differences in personality and language defects, she soon found that she was not suitable for living abroad, so she just took the opportunity to travel around and spent three months relaxing herself.
After returning to China, she gradually figured it out, everyone said that God would open a window for you if he closed a door for you, so God opened a window for her to see the wonderful world in "Dream of the Red Chamber", and also closed the door for her to continue to develop in her acting career.
At that time, when the tide of business in the sea was intensifying, Chen Xiaoxu resolutely left his hometown in 1990 and went to Shenzhen to break out of his own world.
The great Shenzhen, if you want to stand firm and talk about how easy, Chen Xiaoxu, who has just arrived in Shenzhen, has not been able to find a suitable direction, and the most difficult time is to eat half a pig's trotter with her boyfriend, most of the time she needs to rely on her father's help to live.
In 1991, she ushered in an opportunity, a friend told her that the Great Wall Advertising Company in the recruitment of franchise contract management, you can form a set of their own team to do it alone, she had the courage to try.
When the company first started, she had nothing but a few newly recruited college students, and the rent and staff salaries almost overwhelmed her.
Her first client was her fan, and as soon as the client saw her, she immediately signed the contract, smiled and said to her, "I know Lin Daiyu won't lie to me." ”
Everything is difficult at the beginning, after having the first business, the company's business has gradually improved, but Chen Xiaoxu is not complacent, but instead of thinking of danger, she has been telling employees that the business is good now because it stands at the beginning of the advertising industry, to be proactive and face the challenge.
Sure enough, in 1994, the economic situation was not good, the industry competition intensified, and Chen Xiaoxu's company also lost a large number of customers, but fortunately, she had prepared for it and changed the advertising object from the previous pharmaceutical factory to the distillery.
After many years, she is still undiminished in talent, and the phrase "famous show, five grain spring" can often be heard on TV even now.
After the company survived the difficulties, Chen Xiaoxu began to think of going it her own way, in 1996 she established Beijing Shibang United Advertising Co., Ltd. and served as the chairman, and then in 1998, she expanded the company's business and established Beijing Shibang Cultural Development Co., Ltd. and served as chairman and general manager.
After that, it became more and more courageous, the advertising company reached the 4A level, the value reached 200 million, and in the "China Advertising List", it was rated as "China's 30 Outstanding Female Advertisers", and in 2005, it was awarded the honorary title of "China's Economic Person of the Year" by the "World Manager" Weekly.
But the success of her career made her feel empty inside, not knowing how to put her spirit, in 1999, she heard the tape of the Pure Space Master explaining the "Infinite Life Sutra" on the car of a friend, which made her instantly open-minded and feel that she had found a home in life.
She heard that two months later, Master Jingkong was going to preach in Singapore, immediately applied for a visa, flew to Singapore during the sermon, hoping to worship under the old master, the old master was also very welcome, and on the second day of the sermon, she taught Chen Xiaoxu and her sister the refuge, and since then she has embarked on the road of learning Buddhism.
At that time, although Chen Xiaoxu was devout to the heart of the Buddha, she did not yet have the idea of being born, because she still had bonds in the red dust, relatives, lovers, and employees of the company who needed her leadership, so for her, renunciation should be the last thing in her life.
But life is always full of accidents, in 2006 she was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer, she felt that her hope of cure was relatively slim, did not want to drag down her family, so she chose to give up treatment and complete her last dream in life - shaving out of the family.
On the sixth day of the Chinese New Year in 2007, Chen Xiaoxu was ordained at Xinglong Temple, and her legal name was Miaozhen, 24 years had passed since she first walked out of Anshan to interview Lin Daiyu.
There is no lin daiyu in the world, from then on there is only Miaozhen Shitai, although she still has to endure the pain of illness sitting in a wheelchair at that time, but her heart should be calm to break the world's feelings.
On May 13, 2007, Master Myojin passed away, and since then there has been no Master Myojin in the world.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > funeral ceremony - ashes placement ceremony</h1>
After Chen Xiaoxu's death in 2007, where her ashes were placed has always been concerned by the outside world, and in 2008, her father announced that she was going to place her ashes in the Tianshou Cemetery adjacent to the Changping Millennium Ancient Temple and the Heping Temple, which is in line with the Ming Tombs, not only where many celebrities are buried, but also because she wants Chen Xiaoxu to stay in this place where she has acted, done business, and lived for 24 years.
The ceremony was held on May 13, 2008 and was divided into five parts: public sacrifice ceremony, send-off of bones, placement of ashes, unveiling of statues, and sacrifice of flowers.
Chen Xiaoxu's urn was entered by her brother-in-law Yu Ning, while the statue was carried in by her sister Chen Xiaoyang, after which the public sacrifice began.
At about 10:00 a.m., Chen Xiaoyang's father came down to the scene to participate in the public sacrifice with the support of relatives and friends.
At the ceremony, Wang Fulin, the director of the "Dream of the Red Chamber" crew, delivered a speech, and Wang Directed all the past events of Chen Xiaoxu's life, from the first acquaintance, to becoming a colleague and friend, to now, more than 20 years have passed.
After the speech, the guests in the audience all wept bitterly, and although Chen Xiaoxu's father was old, he still insisted on going on stage to thank the audience.
He said that if there is no Chinese TV drama production center, no red science experts, no brothers and sisters, Xiaoxu can not play Lin Daiyu, without her colleagues and friends, without work customers, Xiaoxu will not have a smooth business, everyone is her benefactor.
Speaking of emotions, the old man burst into tears, almost unable to speak, after bowing to everyone, the old man in order to prevent omissions and unassatisfactory people actually knelt and prostrated to all the people present under the hot sun, and the old man's sadness and sincerity deeply touched everyone present.
Although this ceremony did not want to be a big deal, there were still five or six hundred people present, and Wang Fulin, the director of the "Dream of the Red Chamber" crew, zhou Ling, the screenwriter, Zhang Li of "Baochao", Deng Jie of "Fengjie", and Ji Yu of "Miaoyu" were all present.
Among them, Deng Jie rushed back to Beijing from Canada to participate in the ceremony overnight, and the fatigue of the journey, coupled with the sadness of the scene, she cried bitterly until she needed the support of the people next to her to stand firm.
The biggest regret may be that "Brother Bao" Ouyang Fenqiang could not attend the scene, when others were in Sichuan, because the plane could not take off due to the earthquake, but he still used sms and telephone connections to send a final farewell to Chen Xiaoxu.
There were also some special guests at the ceremony, they were the orphan representatives and the director of the orphanage that Chen Xiaoxu had funded, in fact, Chen Xiaoxu had been quietly carrying out charity for many years, and after his death, he used the 50 million yuan of his inheritance to set up a charitable fund to continue to help children in need.
In addition to the invited guests, there were many fans from all over the country who spontaneously sent Chen Xiaoxu off, and they held up large posters around Chen Xiaoxu's cemetery, with multiple pictures of her on it, as well as the slogan "Dai Yu Qianqiu Mei, Xiao Xu Bai Shi Fang", despite the large number of people, everyone still maintained solemnity and solemnity to show respect.
Next to the cemetery, Chen Xiaoxu's family specially commissioned a full-body statue designed for her by a famous sculptor.
The texture of the statue is Greek marble, pure white without a trace of variegated color, the costume design of the statue is still lin daiyu's clothing, sitting on a piece of black marble, looking down and contemplating, surrounded by emerald green pine bushes, the face is still with a shallow smile, let people see a momentary trance after that, whether it is The Daiyu in the play or the Xiaoxu in life.
The statue was unveiled by Ji Yu, the actor of Miao Yu, and Zhang Li, the actor of Bao Chao, and after seeing the statue, everyone invariably thought of "Nong is a laughing fool who buried the flower people, who does he know when he buries Nong?" "Funeral Flower Yin" couldn't help but miss Xiao Xu more and more, and sprinkled the petals in front of the statue.
Dai Yu is famous because of flowers, and Chen Xiaoxu is also a person who loves flowers, and her favorite identity in this life is still the identity of Lin Daiyu's actor, so everyone present chooses to bring flowers to pay tribute to her, and let the flowers accompany her to the last part of the road before entering the earth.
There are white roses, yellow chrysanthemums, and stars at the ceremony site, and there are as many as 6,000 flowers sent by people from all walks of life, and when the spring breeze blows, the petals fly in the sky, presumably Chen Xiaoxu's spirit in the sky will also bloom a smile when he sees it.
Because Chen Xiaoxu believes in Buddhism and has also converted to Buddhism, there were also 9 senior monks present at the scene to preside over a brief transcendence ceremony for her, and it is worth mentioning that an altar was also set up at the scene for the Sichuan earthquake that broke out the day before, and the senior monks also prayed for the victims of the earthquake.
Siren has passed away, this year is the 14th year of Chen Xiaoxu's death, but not only her relatives and friends, her fans still often spontaneously go to her tomb to offer flowers, remembrance, although her life is not long, but the excitement of life has nothing to do with the length of life, she has lived a wonderful life!
