In 1988, in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, a baby girl named Jing Tian was born.
Frail and sickly as a child, she was sent by her family to the Children's Palace to learn dance, and also joined the Little Swan Art Troupe.
In 1998, WHEN US President Clinton visited China, 10-year-old Jing Tian was one of the children welcomed by the roadside.
It can be said that Jing Tian's "plug-in" life has been revealed since she was a child, until the beginning of the new drama "Si Teng" starring her now, which has once again caught fire.
The drama not only occupied the first position in the popularity of the TV series for 10 consecutive days, but also gained a good reputation of 7.9 points in Douban, and even the affirmation of "Jingtian acting skills" was on the hot search.
Many people may have to doubt themselves, Jing Tian, is the Jing Tian who is listed as the "eighth unsolved mystery in the world", "strong and not red"?!
Yes, that's right, it's this jingtian.
In fact, Jing Tian, who has been debuting for 15 years, is now 33 years old, from strong praise to fire to out of the circle, what has she experienced?
It all starts at the beginning.
What many people don't know is that 17-year-old Jing Tian was initially admitted to the Beijing Dance Academy, studied musical theater, and in 2006, she also launched her first music album EP "Who Are You";
The EP was tailor-made by Zhang Yadong, who was once Faye Wong's royal producer, and the MV of the title song was directed by director Ning Hao.
It was also in this year that Jing Tian also starred in her first movie "Python Horror", with her starring Liu Jiahui and Badijin.
In 2007, Jing Tian was also designated by the Northwest Cherry Association as the annual Northwest Cherry Spokesperson, and was even met by the governor of Washington State.
Perhaps it was Ning Hao's previous suggestion to persuade her to become an actress that worked, or maybe it was because the star-studded film and television company she was working in had planned a route for her;
Next, Jing Tian made an important decision - to drop out of Beiwu and be admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, ready to show her skills on the road of actors.
In 2008, Jing Tian, who was still a freshman, starred in her first TV series "A Woman's Epic", in which she played the daughter of Zhao Wei and Liu Ye, and was also the character created by Yan Geling, the original author of the play, based on herself, and the role was still very important.
And to say that everyone gradually found out that something was wrong, we had to start from 2009:
From her starring in the TV series "The Legend of Sun Tzu", she staged a love affair with Zhang Fengyi, who was 32 years old;
To star in the movie "My Beautiful Boss", he formed a CP with He Rundong, and Tao Hong, Yin Xiaotian, and Wu Dawei matched them;
The biggest controversy is the "epic blockbuster" "Warring States" released in 2011 with Jing Tian as the female number one.
Whether it is The Chinese powerful actors Sun Honglei, Wu Zhenyu, Jiang Wu, or the Korean goddess Kim Hee-sun, the Japanese actor Kiichi Nakai, a group of big celebrities in the film "lift the car" for her, all the plot is serving the heroine.
(Does the distribution of the cloak not affect the war?) ）
As a result, this movie has spent a lot of money but suffered a double hit at the box office and word of mouth, do you think the Beijing Starlight Film and Television Company behind her will end it?
From starring with Huo Jianhua in "Time-Out Rescue Soldier" to starring with Lu Yi in "New Mother Loves Me Again";
In "Special Identity", he was ambiguous with Zhen Zidan, and became Jackie Chan's daughter in "Police Story 2013"...
Although filming one smash and smashing one film, Jing Tian's footsteps have never stopped, and then the territory of her acting career has been further expanded.
Following starring in "Macau Storm" with Chow Yun Fat and Nicholas Tse, Jing Tian changed course and went to Hollywood, starring in the Hollywood blockbuster "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou, and staged a transnational love affair with Matt Damon;
From "King Kong: Skull Island" to "Pacific Rim: Thunder Rises Again", Jing Tian, who has appeared frequently in many Hollywood blockbusters, has since become the "resource café" in everyone's heart, and even some people have called the bad films she starred in "Jing Tian Universe".
The entertainment industry has always been popular with a saying, Xiaohong relies on praise, big red relies on life, although Jingtian always appears in people's vision, but it always seems that people can't feel her existence.
Everyone thinks that Jing Tian will live a lifetime under the name of "resource coffee", but since 2017, her acting career has suffered "change".
In 2017, the costume romance drama "Glory of Datang" starring Jing Tian was launched, but the male protagonist was Ren Jialun, who was almost unknown at that time, which seemed to many people to be simply unbelievable -
Jing Tian, who has been tenaciously mixed in various blockbusters, will "condescend" to act in this kind of TV series, and at the same time break the rumor that she does not kiss in the play, and stage many kiss scenes.
That is, in the same year, Jing Tian also participated in the first reality show of her acting career, "I Want to See You", and since then she has also appeared in variety shows such as "Run", "High-energy Youth League", "Youth Hostel" and so on.
And Jing Tian's transformation actually has traces to follow.
On February 14, 2017, Jing TianfaWei-Bo announced that she was single, which seemed to mean that she officially said goodbye to what she called her "noble boyfriend".
After announcing her relationship with Zhang Jike, Jing Tian gradually walked on the road of letting go of herself.
Live washing of face from the perspective of death back-up shooting, the appearance of the can be played has attracted attention;
Exposing the attributes of a foodie in a variety show, eating something is called a gobble;
He also bluntly said in the live broadcast room that his eye plastic surgery failed, because the buried double eyelids became a "sad frog...
Didn't expect you to be so sweet!
Compared with the previous resource bondage, jingtian is now beginning to be grounded and looks more real.
If the two "Datang Glory" and the TV series "A Journey to Meet Love" starring her and Chen Xiao are a warm-up, then the new drama "Si Teng", which will be broadcast in 2021, has become a real opportunity for everyone to re-understand Jing Tian.
As many netizens said:
Before you can't get sweet, now: sweet is so sweet!
I have not been able to get the beauty of the big sweet before, and after watching "Si Teng", I think she is so beautiful!
So, why did "Si Teng" become a turning point in Jing Tian's acting career?
Because it finally makes people really remember JingTian.
First of all, the scenery of bright retro style is very colorful.
In the play, Si Teng, played by Jing Tian, is a female demon who transforms into a human form as a vine spirit, and has a time background spanning 70 years from the Republic of China to the present.
Therefore, compared with the characters in the previous play, who often wear smoky makeup and short hair, wear power suits, and are not recognizable, Jing Tian can be called "rejuvenation" in this play.
(Once Upon a Time)
Now she has repaired the large European-style double eyelids caused by the buried thread, shaved off most of the eyebrows in order to restore the retro makeup, changed to willow eyebrows, plus a touch of big red lips, white skin gelatin;
Especially in the play, she changed her fancy cheongsam, outlining her convex and upturned figure, graceful and colorful and gustening.
In fact, Jing Tian said in a later interview that she actually became fat during the shooting period, and this just brought her a sense of abundance that "rich flowers in the world" should have.
It can be said that whether it is Jing Tian's daily big thick eyebrows, decent celebrity style, or many characters who can't highlight the appearance of the body at all, the role of Sito this time puts her advantage to the maximum.
Secondly, the queen who dragged and arrogantly set the right way.
Tired of seeing the same silly white and sweet female characters, now the beautiful and sassy heroine is more attractive.
The powerful Si Teng can always resolve the crisis, and Qin Fang, who is behind her ass, is even more full of servant nature, moving things, tying shoelaces, like a living ATM machine.
Although Leng also had to maintain his aesthetics, he threw the ugly coat aside in disgust, and couldn't carry it in the back, and told Qin Fang that he had to wear it himself.
In the play, whether it is spitting out "stinky men" like "leeks in the field, a stubble is not as good as a stubble", or a child with a snotty and tearful face is "ugly and the eyes hurt", and the poisonous tongue makes people laugh.
And it is such a seemingly arrogant queen, and because of the modern era, it seems a little cute, and the diversity of character personalities brought about by the sense of contrast is there.
Compared with playing soy sauce in Hollywood blockbusters, such a drama that focuses on the charm of the heroine from appearance to personality makes Jing Tian really do a good job of promoting her strengths and avoiding her weaknesses.
Of course, although the drama "Si Teng" has given Jing Tian a lot of gains, to be honest, this role is not very challenging for acting, and it cannot be a touchstone for her acting skills.
But just like the previously mentioned, the most important thing about this drama for JingTian is that it allows everyone to discover Jingtian and re-recognize the other side of the actress who is shrouded in the huge label of "resource coffee", so that she finally has an audience.
From once saying directly to Sun Honglei when filming "Warring States", "I will not act", playing a chaotic cut makes the actors who play the opposite scene afraid;
By now, she will shave off her eyebrows, spend 6 hours reversing the mold, and the whole crew will climb to an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, go up the mountain and enter the cave, and seriously discuss the role with the director.
After more than ten years of tempering, Jing Tian's attitude towards the profession of actor is more correct, and she will spend more effort on role shaping, and she finally "realized".
Just like the professional crisis faced by the "85 Flowers" who were hotly discussed some time ago, Jing Tian is more confident than Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, etc., who came from ancient puppet dramas.
In the early days of her debut, she was able to play with many powerful parties and saw Hollywood-level big productions, although Jing Tian was a bit unworthy at that time, but it was in this kind of knowledgeable tempering that at least ensured that she would not drop the chain when acting with other traffic actors.
As early as the 2017 China Film New Force Forum, Jing Tian said that she cherished the opportunity to cooperate with the acting school:
Jing Tian, who claimed to play soy sauce in "King Kong: Skull Island", specifically asked the lead actor Brie Larson for acting skills during filming, and Brie, who had already won an Oscar for "Room", actually prepared for the film for a full 4 months;
In addition, there is Jing Tian who ran to the United States for training 6 months in advance when preparing to star in "The Great Wall", and witnessed Matt Damon's 13 years of learning with the line teacher in order to change his Boston accent...
It is also under such a deaf ear that today's Jing Tian, although the resources are no longer as anti-heavenly as before, is also slowly pondering her acting skills, that is, acting in a web drama such as "Si Teng", which has almost no publicity at the beginning, can gradually make people notice her, and strongly circle a wave of fans.
From the 43-year-old Zhou Xun in "Ruyi Biography" playing the 15-year-old Ruyi, the 41-year-old Zhang Ziyi playing the 15-year-old Wang Yan in "Shangyang Fu", to the 40-year-old Liu Tao also playing the 15-year-old Liu E, a large wave of middle-aged actresses joined the "Dress Tender Heaven Group" and were ridiculed by the group, while Jing Tian, who chose the retro queen route, shined this time.
This undoubtedly shows that the work of Luzi is always the last word for actors.
In any case, Jing Tian, who has been mixed in the film circle for many years, is undoubtedly able to bring freshness to starring in web dramas now, and then she will star in many TV series with Xu Weizhou, Cheng Yi, Deng Lun and so on, ready to be deeply cultivated on the big screen.
Jing Tian's "turnaround battle" fired the first shot, although it is far from over, but the future is worth looking forward to.
