A mixed-race "Yang Guifei" who speaks Shandong dialect, was it so funny? Shandong-speaking mixed-race beauty without the advertising darling of boys chasing a newcomer, two film queens, three times Golden Horse nominations for the most distinctive Yang Guifei life of the funny actress low-key married handsome husband

If you have seen Chen Kaige's "The Legend of the Demon Cat", then you will definitely not forget the somewhat alien Yang Guifei in the movie. A delicate face, the moment of slowly raising its eyes, I don't know how many people are intoxicated.

The actor who plays Yang Guifei is of mixed Chinese and French descent, named Zhang Rongrong. The facial features are deep, the contours are exquisite, and the beauty is magnificent.

Some people may feel that having such a delicate and colorful face should often play some high-ranking goddess roles, in fact, it is not, watching the gag-gag king dance she played in "Once Upon a Time There Was a Sword Spirit Mountain", you will find that she can actually seamlessly dock between "goddess" and "female nerve".

Such a schizophrenic performance routine makes people wonder what kind of person she really is.

Zhang Rongrong was born in Taiwan in 1987 to a Chinese father and a French lawyer. Her parents divorced when she was very young, and Dad returned to France. Zhang Rongrong lived with her mother since she was a child.

Zhang Rongrong's childhood was spent in a large family of "seven aunts and eight aunts", because her grandmother was from Shandong, so she spoke fluent Shandong dialect from an early age, and always showed it out from time to time.

Different from the quiet and reserved of other girls, Zhang Rongrong liked to climb high and low when she was a child, and her desire to perform was also extremely strong, often imitating the characters on TV regardless of the image. For example, seeing the "tooth rubbing Su" in "Huang Feihong" with her front teeth exposed, she also had a kind of stuttering speech, and as a result, after a long time, she actually became a stutter. Years later, when he was on the show, he recalled his childhood quirks, and Zhang Rongrong smiled and said, "No wonder there are no boys chasing."

However, with her super imitation ability and acting talent, Zhang Rongrong has become the darling of the advertising industry since she was 10 years old, from chewing gum to fried chicken to facial cleanser advertisements, she has taken it over and over again.

Zhang Rongrong also starred in some popular singers' MVs in the early days. For example, Andy Lau's "If You See Her, Please Tell Me", Xiao Jingteng's "I Won't Love", and Lin Junjie's "As Long As There Is Your Place" and so on.

Because of the appearance of mixed blood, Zhang Rongrong got a lot of opportunities, but also brought a lot of troubles. She confessed that she didn't like the fact that people evaluated her mixed-race appearance.

I don't like it when people say I'm pretty. I'm asked the same question every day: Are you of mixed race? Where and where are you mixing? It's all exactly the same problem, and usually people pinch my face as soon as they come over! But in fact, I am not happy, I just feel sad.

In order to prove that he is not in vain, Zhang Rongrong decided to challenge his dream of being an actor. In 2000, she took over the first film of her life, "Hairball", and has since entered the show business circle. In 2001, Zhang Rongrong, who was still in middle school, participated in the idol drama "Poor Noble Prince" performed by Zhou Yumin, in which she played Zhou Yumin's "sister", and her cute appearance and fresh performance harvested a large number of fans for her.

After that, Zhang Rongrong calmed down, painstakingly studied acting skills, and most of the films starred in literary niches. In 2008, Zhang Rongrong co-starred with Ke Jiahui in the love literary film "Misty", and for the first time, she was nominated for best actress at the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan.

Wong Kar-wai saw the potential of Zhang Rongrong from "Insignificant", so he signed her as a newcomer to his film company, and the 22-year-old Zhang Rongrong became Liang Chaowei's sister, and later co-starred in the comedy "Ferryman"

In 2009, Zhang Rongrong starred in the film "Yangyang", which won her the double Best Actress Award at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival and the Taipei Film Festival, and nominated her for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress for the second time. In 2012, she starred in "Flying Against the Light" with Huang Yuxiang, which won her third Golden Horse Award nomination and opened up her popularity.

Flying Against the Light

Three Golden Horse nominations have brought this young girl to the attention of big names in the industry.

In 2016, Chen Kaige, who was preparing to shoot "The Legend of the Demon Cat", found Zhang Rongrong. The film is adapted from the magical novel "Shamen Konghai", in which Yang Guifei is described as having Hu ancestry. So Chen Kaige needs to find an actress who looks exotic.

Picking and choosing, Chen Kaige found that Zhang Rongrong was exactly the person he was looking for. Zhang Rongrong's acting skills are superior, low-key, although widely praised by the industry, but many viewers are not familiar with her. It just fits the "sense of distance" that Chen Kaige wants to create.

In order to play this yang guifei who has never been an ancient person before, Zhang Rongrong deliberately closed for two months to study the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and also specially learned to play the pipa and the walking posture of the ancients. In the shooting, every shot and every sentence is carefully interpreted.

Whether the audience agrees with her beauty or not, her acting skills are indeed blameless. She presented Yang Guifei's demeanor. Even Chen Kaige bluntly said that Zhang Rongrong "has a high degree of completion." ”

Zhang Rongrong, who has reached a certain height in his career, has not become high and cold, but there is no "refinement" that a "goddess" should have. For example, a magazine interviewed her and needed her to say the three things that were necessary in her bag. Other female celebrities will take advantage of this to show their exquisite daily life, taking out lotions, brand lipsticks, or other cute little objects from their small bags, while Zhang Rongrong's common items from her big satchel are umbrellas, folding fans and a scraping board.

Funny and low laughing point, this is the unanimous evaluation of her by friends who know her well. When her friend Ke Jiayi filmed "Slim" with her, she even teased her as an "overly moved child". Zhang Rongrong's social platform will often share some funny videos and selfies, and will also interact with fans in the comment area from time to time, which can be said to be very grounded.

She once said in an interview that she never felt like a star, and only told herself to "play" a female star when walking the red carpet. Back to life, still an ordinary person.

Many people think that Zhang Rongrong, who has such a cheerful and lively personality, must be very playful in his life, and presumably his emotional life is also extremely rich. In fact, there have been almost no miscellaneous scandals in her debut years. And as early as 2013, he was already a low-key married and child, and her husband was the famous "creative talent", Wei Bai's producer Ji Jiasong.

Ji Jiasong, born in 1979, is 8 years older than Zhang Rongrong, but he has a handsome baby face, which once made people think that they were "sister-brother love". Zhang Rongrong is also very blunt when talking about why he likes Ji Jiasong, because he is handsome! Even though he is over 40 years old, he still looks like "small fresh meat", handsome and dedicated, and I have to say that he really envies Zhang Rongrong.

The process of the two falling in love is also very interesting. When they first met, Zhang Rongrong did not call Ji Jiasong because he felt that Ji Jiasong "didn't seem to like girls". However, later, with the matchmaking and further understanding of mutual friend Pan Weibai, he slowly ran to get married.

Today' Zhang Rongrong has a happy family and a smooth career. He often basks on the happy life of his husband and daughter. She once said in an interview: "I hope to always act." To be 40, 50, 60... It's still playing when there are a lot of wrinkles. I wish this grounded and powerful actor can bring more classic roles to everyone as he wishes.
