Since entering the eyes of Chinese audiences with "Flyover Storm" 21 years ago, Kim Nam-joo has defended his undisputed "queen" personality in the Korean showbiz circle to this day. Compared with the "Queen of Kennai" and "Reverse Queen" series, which are certified by real names, Gao Huilan, who is sharp and undiminished but adds to everyone's atmosphere, is closer to the sublimation of the essence. At the age of 47, Kim Nam-joo also demonstrated for us: The strength of a woman has nothing to do with anything else, only that you want to be your own queen?
40+ dazzling
At the 54th Baeksang Art Awards, in a field of purple and red, Jin Nanzhu appeared in a minimalist black dress.
Having played a supermodel 21 years ago, she is too experienced in how to attract people's attention on the red carpet, but 21 years later, she has abandoned all external gorgeous means, just standing there silently in black, which has become the focus of the audience.
In fact, she won the best actress laurel that night, she was the most dazzling queen from beginning to end, and what helped her conquer the world was her powerful aura of "no matter how big the heavens and the earth are, I am the only one".

In 1996, she won the SBS Performing Arts Award for Outstanding Actress with "Urban Men and Women"; in 2010, she won the MBC Acting Awards award and the 46th Baeksang Arts Awards TV Department with "Kenuchi Help queen" and "Reverse Queen"; in 2012, she won the KBS Acting Awards Acting Award for her weekend family drama "You Who Follow the Vine".
This time, after the second time of the "Mist" in the Baeksang Art Awards, for the fiercely competitive Korean showbiz, how difficult it is to imagine such achievements, and the bitterness of which can only be experienced by herself.

The success of Jin Nanzhu is a great inspiration and inspiration for middle-aged actresses.
Although 40+ is the most beautiful age for women, and it is also the golden period as an actor, with their understanding of life and mature acting skills, they can create more handsome "white bone essence" roles like Gao Huilan, and Jin Nanzhu proves it.
Jin Nanzhu admits that she can speak for 40+ actresses, but the popularity of "The Mist" is indeed a good wind, proving that the 40+ big female protagonists have a market, and she is also looking forward to having more suitable scripts and roles, giving actresses of this age more opportunities to bloom.

Since her debut, Jin Nanzhu's role has not been related to the "pure little white rabbit", and she is basically the role of an aggressive and dominant urban professional woman.
She has also tried transformation, such as playing a helpless mother who lost her child in the movie "The Voice of that Guy", which also made her firm in her judgment: "For me, playing a role that does not have its own charm is like wearing someone else's clothes and not being able to show the acting skills that should be there, so I feel that there is no need to take off the clothes that suit me in order to transform." 」 ”

Without specializing in acting, and not feeling that he is a natural actor, Kim Nam-joo admits that his heart is actually not as confident and calm as he looks on the outside.
But it is precisely because she understands this weakness that she will be extra cautious when choosing works, which is why she has been in the film for more than twenty years, but the output of her works is sloppy.
And in order to be worthy of the difficult choices she paid, she will also do her best in the process of putting herself into the role.

"The Mist" is the most painful work chosen by Kim Nam-joo, in her view, Gao Huilan, a wounded woman with a heart, has a dark side of greed, desire, selfishness and other human nature, but at the same time has good qualities such as kindness, justice, and tenacity.
Her complexity and multi-faceted nature make it difficult for actors to grasp the scale when figuring out the role.
So when she first came into contact with this role, Kim Nam-joo was afraid, and she often asked herself: Can I really play her well?
But after making the choice, everything became simple, and since then, she has done her best to get close to the role, even to challenge her own limits.

The award speech given to Kim Nam-joo by the Baeksang Art Awards is: she played a female anchor who will stop at nothing to succeed in "The Mist", which is both domineering and perfectly presents the female anchor Gao Huilan through restrained acting skills, and the best actress is deserved!
In fact, for onlookers, Gao Huilan's life, in addition to marriage, is actually jin Nanzhu's own struggle history in reality, and 47 years of life experience have given her the confidence to play Gao Huilan. The biggest gain that this role brings to Kim Nam-joo is actually that it rekindles her love for the profession of an actor.
In the six years before that, she completely indulged in the role of wife and mother, put family happiness first in life goals, almost forgot her identity as an actor, and it was Gao Huilan who made her have more desire for acting.
So, maybe not having to wait another six years for her next role. Let's look forward to the Queen's next ascension to the throne!

Kim Nam Joo "girl crush" to create cheats
Q: Everyone thinks you're the ancestor of South Korea's "girl crush", so what do you think is your charm?
A: I think everyone likes my "generous image", which may have something to do with the roles I have played in many urban women, and the cold and dashing image is more in line with everyone's dream of "capable women".
Q: The frank and laid-back personality aspect is also part of the charisma.
A: My family discipline is "integrity", since childhood has developed the habit of honesty in their thoughts, and I don't like to pretend or hide anything when I am a newcomer, because I have always believed that sincerity is the most effective communication skill.
Q: Every outfit and makeup you put on in The Mist has also created a trend, so where did Gao Huilan's style get inspiration?
A: The keyword I set for Gao Huilan's style was "sexy female anchor", and I wanted a character whose creativity and intellectuality coexisted, so I unbuttoned the three buttons of my shirt and put on a tight skirt. But wearing a tight skirt is very demanding, and a little bit of extra flesh on the abdomen is not allowed, so I began to hell out of weight. As for the pants suit, it is the type I originally liked, and it is also very compatible with "Gao Huilan".
Q: It's not easy to lose 7 kilograms on top of your original slim body, how did you do it?
A: Exercise on an empty stomach. I barely eat much. For today's shoot, I also did weight-bearing exercises. Although not exercising will lose a kilogram a day, there is a difference between weight-bearing exercise and doing and not doing. I feel that physical self-management is also my obligation as an actor.
