Recently, Lin Xinru has once again appeared in the public eye because of the TV series "The First Lights".
Although it has not been launched in the mainland, this suspense drama with a Douban score of 8.1 points has stirred up a lot of waves in many domestic film and television dramas that do not even have a 6-point passing score.
Lin Xinru plays a 30-year-old mother Sang in the TV series, and the plot also revolves around the fate entanglement between her and her sisters who have been with her for many years.

For people who don't pay much attention to Lin Xinru, this is definitely a surprise.
After all, in the years when Lin Xinru faded from the public eye, the evaluation around her was still "a middle-aged girl who loves to play Mary Sue" and "a member of the yatou faction".
Those Mary Sue dramas have been more than a decade ago, and such labels should have been torn off Lin Xinru long ago.
Lin Xinru is no longer the "Ziwei" she used to be, and her days of being worshipped as the "Goddess of the People" have long since faded and become a distant memory.
Today's Lin Xinru is more like a myth that is repulsed by public opinion.
The people offered her to the altar and, in anger, pushed her down in a more brutal way.
If you have to find an exact time, then the collapse of Lin Xinru's goddess image began in January 2017, when Zhou Jie's "Spit Conference" as a guest was broadcast.
The controversy surrounding Zhou Jie naturally cannot avoid his and Lin Xinru's grudge against "tongue kiss".
In 2004, Lin Xinru, who was in the front line because of the explosion of "Huan Zhu Gege", participated in the variety show "Kangxi Lai".
Here, she confessed that she only likes to shoot kiss scenes with handsome guys, and if the other party is not handsome, she will suggest whether the director should change his way of expression.
Her first kiss on the silver screen was an advertisement, when she was only 18 years old, but when she heard that the other party was a handsome guy, she immediately agreed.
Talking about the method of acting in the kissing scene, she said that the actor would grit his teeth and not spit out his tongue. But under the guidance of the host, she still admitted in disguise that Zhou Jie and she threw up her tongue when acting, but her mouth was closed tightly.
At that time, "Huan Zhu GeGe" was still broadcast in turn on Hunan Satellite TV, that weak and kind, I saw the pitiful "Ziwei" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Lin Xinru, who has the same face as Ziwei, is therefore more loved by people who love Ziwei deeply.
Therefore, in the era when information was blocked and television was still the main source of information for people, the matter of Erkang acting "sticking out his tongue" still crossed the strait and became an "open" secret.
At that time, Lin Xinru naturally could not imagine that she had always dared to say that after more than ten years, it would be cut into a collection by people, which became the evidence that she was a "white lotus with a heart".
After Zhou Jie denied the "strong kiss" on Weibo, the rumors that she ruined the other party's career seemed to be a foregone conclusion. The public's disgust for her, mixed with the anger of being "deceived" by Ziwei, pushed to an orgasm.
After being chased and scolded for several months, Lin Xinru completely turned off weibo comments after posting a rhetorical question on Weibo, "Have you scolded enough?" Along with it, the generation that grew up watching "Huan Zhu Gege" has a goddess filter for her, as well as her ambitions in mainland film and television.
The time goes back more than 20 years.
In 1997, when casting for "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" (click to view), the agency gave the role of Princess Saia, a 21-year-old girl, according to Lin Xinru's personality.
However, because of the withdrawal of the "Xiaoyanzi" actors that the crew had set at the beginning, after repeated deliberations, it was decided to let Lin Xinru play Ziwei, and the actor who initially set the role of "Ziwei" played Xiaoyanzi.
Before the official start-up, a leader of Hunan Satellite TV came to the site to inspect, saw the video of Lin Xinru, who was a teenager and still had tiger teeth, and felt that she was too ugly to play Ziwei and wanted to replace her.
With the mood of about to be separated, when the people in the play were holding a farewell party for Lin Xinru in the evening, the agent called, and the role of "Ziwei" was finally won.

At that time, Lin Xinru could not act, could not cry, could not memorize the lines well, was often scolded by the director, and because of her young age, the adults in the crew always criticized her twice.
Lin Xinru always remembered that at that time, her stinky beauty always made up for lipstick, and the makeup artist said to her with a stinky face: "No matter how much she makes up, she can't paint Lin Qingxia." ”
In such a cautious situation, always afraid of doing something wrong, the girls in the crew became her only comfort. The shooting conditions are harsh, shooting for more than ten hours a day, and several people often take a bath together in order to save time.
Originally, I thought that I must not be able to act, but I did not expect that after the broadcast, her smart eyes and warm appearance portrayed the temperament of ziwei's role into three points.

Although Lin Xinru has always said that his personality is completely opposite to Ziwei, this TV series that has been popular across the taiwan strait and three places has been rotated on Hunan Satellite TV for more than ten years, and people cannot finally strip Lin Xinru from Ziwei's temperament.
So many people deliberately forgot, after spitting out Zhou Jie's acting tongue in the variety show, Lin Xinru added that Erkang was too involved and wanted to take her into the mood. He also complained about playing a kiss and talking with Zhang Weijian - acting "I want to die".
It's just because this kind of bluntness may be suitable for Lin Xinru, but it is definitely not suitable for Ziwei.
After Lin Xinru became Ziwei, he was fortunate to have a very high starting point, and unfortunately has been labeled by people as Ziwei.
In 1976, Lin Xinru was born in Taiwan to a wealthy family, mischievous, and was the child king of their piece. Her favorite thing is to lead a group of children to climb the tree and go to the beach not far away to make trouble.
Although her parents often quarreled and later divorced, these did not have a great impact on Lin Xinru, they all loved Lin Xinru deeply and gave her a happy childhood.

In junior high school, Lin Xinru was elected as the class president because of her beautiful looks. But this class leader never cares about order, but leads a group of students to "flirt" with the teacher.
Sitting in the first row of class, she used books to block eating instant noodles. The teacher saw it clearly and asked her what she was doing. She rushed straight to the teacher and said, "How about I eat instant noodles?" ”
Later, this group of classmates who followed her into trouble became her assistant and agent, accompanied her as an actor, a boss, a producer, and more than ten years later, she complained that she was a "man among women" in variety shows.
After going to high school, also because of his beautiful face, Lin Xinru was invited by many directors to shoot advertisements. But her mother only allowed her to participate in filming during the winter and summer vacations, and could not delay her studies.
Once, in order to shoot an advertisement, she asked her agent to take a leave of absence from school, and she forgot to remove her makeup when she went home. With a face covered in heavy makeup, she replied that her mother went to the library by herself, and her mother directly slapped her, which was the first time and only time that Lin Xinru had beaten her since she was so old.
At the age of 19, before agreeing to participate in the movie "School Bully", her family designed a good life path for her to study abroad. The agent made all kinds of requests, thinking that it was too bad that Lin Xinru's appearance did not develop in the show business circle, and later Lin Xinru's development also proved that the agent was not wrong.

Since then, Lin Xinru has played some small roles in many film and television dramas, and the keywords around these roles are generally ugly and earthy, and Lin Xinru often appears in plain appearances.
It was not until 1998 that "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was broadcast, Lin Xinru was added to the "goddess" aura, and then opened the road of pure heroine.
However, whether it is her other famous work "Love Deep rain and rain", or the high ratings, and Jiang Qinqin's "Half Life", or the big and small film and television dramas she has been the heroine of the next ten years, she has not been able to escape the heroine temperament similar to Ziwei, most of them are smart and simple, and they are pitiful.

These images are all in line with Lin Xinru's appearance, but none of them are similar to Lin Xinru.
In 2004, Lin Xinru, an actor, began to be confused.
Perhaps because most of the roles she plays are homogeneous, or because the aura on her body shields her from too much criticism, Lin Xinru found that she no longer needs to use her brain when acting. How to push emotions, how to cry and laugh, like a program that had been set up long ago, made her extremely afraid.
So this year, 28-year-old Lin Xinru, put down everything in his hands, and went to the New York Film Academy alone to study acting. Here, she was a student again, walking the campus alone, feeling a city alone, and that time became the happiest years of her life.

After returning from his studies, Lin Xinru began to deliberately avoid playing roles similar to before in order to find a breakthrough. They may be funny, they may be savage, or even female ghosts in horror movies, but they will make Lin Xinru feel that he has begun to act seriously.
In "Subway", which worked with Huo Jianhua for the first time, she played a blind girl.
When cooperating, Huo Jianhua was a lonely teenager in Lin Xinru's eyes, and would only sit alone on the balcony and meditate on something when she was joking with everyone, which was the beginning of their ten-year friendship.

Lin Xinru once again became famous and starred in the heroine Dou Yifang in "Beauty and The Heart". From the age of 16 to the death of Dou Yifang, from the palace maid to the adulteress to the empress, spanning a woman's life, the challenge is great, but Lin Xinru has a good grasp.
The shyness of the young girl, the maneuvering and fierceness of the heart after grasping the power, are all breakthroughs in the public's inherent impression of Lin Xinru.

At this time, Lin Xinru was 35 years old, no longer willing to just wait for a good script as an actor, she wanted to create a script that she was satisfied with and play her favorite role, and this year, she began to become a producer Lin Xinru.
In 2011, the first TV series produced by Lin Xinru Studio, "The Princess of the World", was broadcast, which was also the beginning of Lin Xinru's transformation from a goddess to a "middle-aged Mary Sue".
In this drama, 35-year-old Lin Xinru plays a young girl, the Ultimate Mary Sue, and all men in the world love her. And what people are more talking about is that in this drama, only handsome men deserve to love her. Not handsome, lin xinru changed the script to love the second daughter.

Since then, most of the film and television dramas she has produced are in this style, as the heroine, Lin Xinru will always be the favorite of all men, and even in "16 Summers", in addition to the male one and the male two, even the female second played by the big beauty Xu Weining also "loves" her.
From the age of 17 to 37, Lin Xinru has indeed not changed, as always like handsome men, 40 years old also married handsome men Huo Jianhua. But what is different is her ambition on the road of acting.
She once said in an interview that she wanted to make a film and television drama that could spread Chinese culture, just like people want to eat ramen when they see Korean dramas, foreigners can eat spicy hot pot because they see Chinese film and television dramas.
Lin Xinru has also been working this road. After "16 Summers", the film and television dramas she produced were always well received and won numerous awards. "The Beginning of the Lantern" was broadcast exclusively on Netflix, and it was also praised continuously, which was the first step in the cultural dissemination she wanted.

Looking back, in 1998, the three beauties of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" that spread across the taiwan strait and Hong Kong and Macao and accompanied a generation of people to grow up, one was completely banned because of lack of greed; one always wanted to get a reputation in the literary and art circles that did not belong to her, and was regarded as an outcast.
Only Lin Xinru has always known what he wants, and has always been in the field he can control and control his life.
All along, Lin Xinru has been mysterious.
In addition to the scandal with Lin Zhiying at the age of 19, and then suddenly married Huo Jianhua at the age of 40, Lin Xinru was exposed to the public eye as her part as an actor.
She does not like to participate in variety shows and wants to retain the mystery of being an actress. But as an actress, Lin Xinru's acting skills have never been part of her being discussed by the public.
But what has changed has never been Lin Xinru, but the era when the star collapsed from the altar.
