Everyone knows the classic Hong Kong movie "The King of Comedy", but when it comes to Ejingwen, some people will ask: Who is she? She is the heroine of "The King of New Comedy".
The previous "star girl", whether it is The female advocate of "The King of New Drama" Bai Zhi, or "Mermaid" Lin Yun and Zhang Yuqi Which is not a hot actress in the entertainment industry?
Even Huang Shengyi, the former generation of "star girl" who was rumored to have broken up with Zhou Xingchi, is now married into a rich family and eats and wears without worry.
On the other hand, after Ejingwen filmed "The King of New Comedy", he failed to set off a little splash, and even did not shoot for several years, why did Ejingwen fall here as a "star girl"?
In 1999, "The King of Comedy" was released in Hong Kong, and Chow Xingchi played the male protagonist Yin Tianqiu, an eighteen-line actor who loved acting but could only run the dragon set, and accidentally fell in love with the dance lady Liu Piaopiao, played by Cecilia Cheung.
Different from ordinary inspirational chicken soup films, at the end of the film, Yin Tianqiu is still a small transparent eighteen-line, and he has not counterattacked to become a Grand Slam movie emperor.
Twenty years later, in order to pay tribute to the classics, Zhou Xingchi filmed "The King of New Comedy" and invited Ejingwen to play the female version of Yin Tianqiu, Ejingwen was naturally very happy, running for seven or eight years of dragon sets, and finally ushered in the day of turning over.
But what everyone did not expect was that this drama "pounced on the street", and there was a very appropriate evaluation on the Internet: it was to take out the previous leftovers and fry it, and it was also fried.
Xingye has always disliked the clichéd chicken soup ending, and Yin Tianqiu on the same screen did not become a big star as desired, what about Yin Tianqiu outside the screen?
With the name of "Star Girl", Ejingwen did get a certain amount of attention, but this wave of attention did not last long.
Ejingwen is a native of the northeast, who has been pursuing her acting dreams for many years, and is somewhat similar to the heroine in the play.
But helplessly, her appearance is too ordinary, there is no memory point, and it is difficult to remember her face after watching it several times.
Although in the crew, you can only run the dragon set, but in the variety show, Ejingwen's performance is very eye-catching, and the big and small champions are not less.
During the Chinese opera examination, the joy of the on-site performance amused the judges and teachers at the time, and the inspired Ejingwen also began to slowly lay his own performance style in this direction.
In 2010, Ejingwen graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, and like many college students, Ejingwen also faced the dilemma of "unemployment after graduation", and for four years, Ejingwen almost did not act.
Finally, in 2014, Ejingwen participated in "I Am Crazy for Comedy", and with a performance that completely released himself and disregarded the image, Ejingwen won the annual championship that year.
In the comedy variety show tasted sweet, so in 2016 Ejingwen participated in "Laughing Proud of the Jianghu", in the show Ejingwen is still the previous kind of performance that does not have to be baggage, and has won the unanimous praise of Guo Degang, Song Dandan and other three judges.
Guo Degang praised: There are not many actors like her who are okay and have no baggage.
Song Dandan even accepted Ejingwen as an apprentice on the spot, thinking that with the promotion of these two old predecessors, Ejingwen would have a very good development in his career, but after this, Ejingwen was still running around the dragon set, and the future was still very bleak.
She took over the dragon set of many movies, such as "The Sewing Machine Band" and "Hypnotic Master", either without lines or was finally "cut plum".
In fact, before she and Xingye had a nominal cooperation "Journey to the West", she was supposed to play a villager in it who could have two sentences of dialogue with the protagonist, but it was replaced.
She went to play a little woman holding a child, painted with exaggerated makeup, and did not have a single line.
Finally, Ejingwen was favored by Zhou Xingchi.
At that time, Zhou Xingchi was preparing to shoot "The King of New Comedy" and needed that kind of "country-style actor", and after watching Ejingwen's experience, Xingye felt that he was very similar to the "dream" in his play.
Ejingwen, who received the call, initially thought it was a liar, and after the deputy director personally made three phone calls, Ejingwen believed that it was really Zhou Xingchi who asked her to make a movie.
After the official announcement of the film, E Jingwen forwarded this Weibo and commented: Mom, Xingye called me to make a movie, and this time there are lines.
When the crew found that almost all of them were beaten scenes, E jingwen said that he was used to it, and felt that no matter what crew he went to in the future, he would not be afraid.
Zhou Xingchi is quite strict in filming, and the requirements for each shot are very strict, one shoot more than a dozen times, and only one shot in the morning is a common thing.
Wang Baoqiang has a scene in the play that has been filmed dozens of times, breaking his record and estimating that it will be difficult to surpass in the future.
Star Ye is very strict about details, probably because he is an actor, so he is very sensitive and can notice detailed changes.
There's a scene where he says to Ejingwen, "This one can be, but I hope you can get 0.5 seconds faster next one." ”
At that time, E Jingwen was also the first time to cooperate with Xingye to shoot a scene, and when he heard this, he was directly blinded, how can it be 0.5 seconds faster?
Where is the fast? As the two spent more time together, slowly Ejingwen could already understand some of Zhou Xingchi's "strange" requirements.
But in this drama, the image of Ejingwen is different from the previous star girl.
Whether it is the dance teacher Cecilia Cheung, or the purple xia fairy Zhu Yin, or the little mermaid Lin Yun and the domineering boss Zhang Yuqi, they all have one thing in common, that is, beauty.
But in this movie, Ejingwen is how ugly, how to come, and even the foundation is not allowed to fight, which can be said to be a fatal blow to the actress.
In order to make Ejingwen accept, Zhou Xingchi personally did ideological work for her, and Ejingwen, who did not want to give up this great opportunity, could only choose to accept, so Ejingwen was called the ugliest "star girl".
The various fight scenes in the film are also real "real fights", and often accidentally hit EJingwen's body with sticks.
There is a scene where the protagonist is dreaming of soaking in water to play a corpse, and Ejingwen is afraid that others will say that he is playing a big card, shouting "CUT" and not asking to come out of the water.
After soaking in the cold water for nearly an hour, when the assistant brought ginger soup to her, she couldn't catch it.
"The King of New Comedy" is a remake of the old film, generally this kind of remake, very few can surpass the original work, although E Jingwen performed very well in the film, but compared with Zhou Xingchi, the contrast is obvious.
After the killing, E Jingwen actually wanted to ask the director if she was dissatisfied, but in the end he didn't have the embarrassment to ask.
She does not want to live up to the favor of Xingye, hoping to break out of her own world in the show business circle, but unfortunately it backfired.
Wherever he went in the next few years, Ejingwen seemed to label himself a "star girl", but it made people feel that he had no other works besides this film.
Some time ago, Ejingwen participated in "Actors Please Take Place" in which her performance was recognized by many big directors, hoping that Ejingwen could find a suitable way out for herself in the future.
