Who is Yan Danchen? You may not be able to remember the name, but when it comes to the cold and beautiful Sister Chang'e who lives in the Guanghan Palace in "Baolian Lantern", do you suddenly realize?
On April 6, this beautiful "Chang'e sister" Official Xuanshun gave birth to an eight-pound son, and everyone blessed at the same time, there were some controversial voices such as why the 44-year-old insisted on having children, and this incident also made the low-key actor Yan Danchen enter everyone's vision again.
In fact, in addition to Yan Danchen's beautiful appearance and superb acting skills, her unashamed attitude towards life is more like a mortal immortal, knowing the world and not entering the world.
Yan Danchen was born in Xiangtan, Hunan Province, the family is relatively good, her parents attach importance to the education of art, from childhood to take her to learn the accordion, until some of them encouraged her to learn piano. Under the influence of art, Yan Danchen liked musical theater, and often stood in front of the mirror after watching the movie to imitate the characters in the film.
After graduating from junior high school, Yan Danchen was admitted to the Hunan Provincial Art School with excellent results, and when she graduated, her mother suggested that she give up the drama troupe to continue her studies, which awakened Yan Danchen and also began her fate journey with the Beijing Film Academy.
Yan Danchen stood out from many candidates through his exquisite image and excellent acting skills, and was successfully admitted to the acting department of Beijing Film Academy for further study, and became classmates with Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Guo Xiaodong and He Lin. In Nortel, where beautiful women gather, Yan Danchen is recognized as a school flower-level figure, when she and He Lin were both known as nortel's golden flower. She looks dignified and generous, her eyes are soft, her posture is elegant, warm and cold, and she is a typical oriental beauty.
In fact, Yan Danchen does not just rely on her face to eat, her strength is the key reason why she has always been popular.
Before the end of the freshman year, Yan Danchen received her first movie in her life, "Carrying My Father to School", in which she played a sister in the countryside. Growing up in the city, she did not understand the living conditions of rural people at that time, in order to fit the role, she ran to Gansu, lived in the hometown of the prototype character for more than half a month, and worked in the field all day.
In order to make her skin darker, she had to bask in the sun for half an hour every day at noon, and during filming, she often fainted from dehydration from dry farm work. As long as you work hard, you will not be unable to make a good work, this film finally won a number of awards at home and abroad, so that Yan Danchen, who was still in school, became a hot new star, and then she starred in the movie "Flower Season and Rainy Season", won the Fourth Film Huabiao Awards Film Newcomer Award, and became famous at a young age.
With a body of honor, Yan Danchen is not impetuous at all, the more she sinks her heart to study acting, decided to devote herself to the drama of the period and the script of rural themes, but the producer disagrees with her, thinking that this will waste her beauty in her youth, so she recommended her to act in costume dramas.
It is precisely because Yan Danchen listened to this suggestion at that time that we can see Yang Guifei, who is graceful and luxurious but not pampered and proud in the "History of Love in the Tang Dynasty", and the simple woman who is like a flower in "Jingwei Reclamation".
In the TV series "Baolian Lantern", she played the role of Chang'e, a white-clothed fairy fluttering, pure beauty has become synonymous with Yan Danchen, becoming her famous work, the audience has called her "the most beautiful Chang'e", "childhood goddess". Film and television crews with similar themes have thrown olive branches for her, but Yan Danchen unexpectedly refused one by one.
In her opinion, after the success of a role, it is not creative and challenging to constantly copy the same type of role, and she wants to try to break through herself, so she actively gives up the shortcut of the explosion and turns to modern drama. In the past, the costumed beauty is no longer there, and Chang'e sister will always remain in people's hearts, and the beauty is beyond belief.
In the past ten years, Yan Danchen has avoided the smoke of the entertainment industry competing for first-line female stars and devoted herself to film and television dramas with low attention. She participated in the film "Distant Norden", which protects traditional Chinese culture, and won the 12th Golden Phoenix Award of the China Academy of Film Performing Arts for this film.
Because of this film, Yan Danchen even exchanged with local film fans as the head of the delegation to Taiwan for cross-strait exchange activities. After that, she participated in the TV series "Yang Guang Those Things" and the period drama "The Waves Are Exhausted", and the rural women's wealth TV series "Rape Flowers". Yan Danchen starred in the TV series "Northern Land", which was set in the development process of Inner Mongolia Dairy Industry, and Yan Danchen won the Best Actress Award at the first Duyun Film and Television Festival with this drama.
These film and television works reflect that Yan Danchen has never forgotten the type of TV series she wanted to act in, even if she became popular because of the costume drama, in her heart, she is still obsessed with the period drama and obsessed with the script that is close to people's daily life.
In addition to her acting achievements, she launched her own public welfare undertakings as early as 2007, she attended the All-Star Charity Dinner, transferred 396,000 yuan to the China Youth Development Fund Association, and in the same year as an image ambassador to promote the "Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Prevention and Control Campaign".
In her view, charity is a responsibility of modern people to society. She called on the society to pay attention to the living conditions of the disabled, and visited the park with the "wheelchair angel" to accompany them to chat. She also travels to remote areas to perform, and when she sees people coming from far away and moving stools early to watch the show, she is often so moved that she can't speak.
Although she did not burst into flames as in the past, she achieved self-sublimation. "People must have an arrogant heart, work down-to-earth, and be low-key, will success be far away?"
She wrote this passage as early as 2006, has always been rational and clear about her life, on the screen, she is diligent and earnest, trying to do the best, in life, she is low-key and kind, contributing to society.
Now that Yan Danchen is 44 years old, she is still full of spring breeze and in excellent condition. In addition to continuing to do public welfare undertakings and grassroots touring, she will also attend major film festivals and participate in some activities to promote Chinese culture.
She loves life very much and shares her daily details from time to time, she said: "For yourself, why do you have to be like this at this age?" For Yan Danchen, although she is unlikely to play female number one again, so what, she can also play the mother of female number one.
On April 6, 2022, Yan Danchenshun gave birth to an eight-pound son, and she exposed her mysterious husband Meng Haoqiang, and the family looked happy and harmonious, warm and healing. Meng Haoqiang, like Yan Danchen, is a powerful actor, and he has starred in many film and television works, including the TV series "A Generation of Gangsters", in which he plays the male protagonist as a bandit who is close to his brothers and sisters. Meng Haoqiang and Yan Danchen have partnered in "Maple Leaf Red" and "Northern Land".
Now that the fairy sister has been upgraded to a beautiful mother, she follows her own interpretation of age and enjoys a stable and self-sufficient life. In the entertainment industry, this kind of large dyeing vat, Yan Danchen has always maintained a fresh and low-key jade girl style, clean and pure, sincere and moving.
