"It was raining that day, and she was carrying an umbrella, and she was less than eighty pounds thin."
This is the scene when director Wang Fulin first met Chen Xiaoxu.
She was thinner than Huang Hua, and she walked like a weak willow and the wind, as if the real Daiyu had come alive.
She is quite talented and delicate, no different from Daiyu in the book.
But the only thing is that the appearance is not as stunning as described in the book.
Chen Xiaoxu himself also said: "My appearance and acting skills are not as good as others, that is, my personality is too similar to Lin Daiyu."
Wang Fulin's heart is quite entangled, such a temperament form, it is a pity not to let her play Lin Daiyu,
If you want to act, can you act well? Can she convince the audience?
He gritted his teeth before he made up his mind to choose Chen Xiaoxu, who expected that people now talk about "Dream of the Red Chamber", they only serve the 87 version,
Speaking of Lin Daiyu, it had to be Chen Xiaoxu.
01 And Lin Daiyu merged into one
It is a little strange to say, Chen Xiaoxu, who is weak and weak, is actually a native of Northeast China.
Born in 1965 in Anshan, Liaoning Province, a family with a strong artistic atmosphere.
Her father was a director of the Anshan Peking Opera Troupe and her mother was a dance teacher.
It can be seen that it is precisely this stylish family environment that allows her to retain the poetic temperament in her.
Thanks to her parents' Mandarin standards, she did not end up with a "big ballast taste".
Lin Daiyu is the right one
Chen Xiaoxu has always liked beautiful and poetic things, so he did not call on what his father studied, "Wild Boar Forest" and "Empty City Plan", and devoted himself to the ballet taught by his mother.
Although this girl looks soft and weak, her heart is very sharp, not willing to be mediocre.
She has always had high standards and strict requirements for herself, which is the same as Daiyu, and she refuses to do anything out of the ordinary.
At the age of 12, Chen Xiaoxu was already able to do the difficult action of the white-haired woman kicking the purple and gold crown backwards.
I thought that I would be able to work hard in ballet, at least I could enter a provincial college,
Who expected her to pass five levels and behead six generals, but she was planted on the political trial.
At that time, growing up in a family with such an ingredient was doomed to be unable to get an art education.
Chen Xiaoxu is such a strong person, her dreams are broken, and the blows she has suffered can be imagined.
At that time, although she was only 14 years old, her mind and literary talent were already very mature.
In 1979, with a sense of resentment, she wrote a small poem, "I Am a Willow Flower", which was published in the magazine Young Poets.
Cao Xueqin once wrote in "Dream of the Red Chamber" that Lin Daiyu was "a pitiful Wing Chuncai", and Chen Xiaoxu actually wrote a poem about Wing Chun.
Such a coincidence is indeed a bit wonderful, indescribable.
Chen Xiaoxu's fans also call themselves "Liu Shu", which is a high recognition and summary of her.
After that, she had to give up dancing and switch to acting.
First of all, he joined the Anshan Repertory Theatre as a announcer, secretly studied hard to find opportunities, and finally received the first role in his life three years later - Liu Damei.
Although Chen Xiaoxu's version of Liu Damei is not brilliant, everything is difficult at the beginning, at least she understands what it is like to shoot a scene.
It didn't take long for the casting information of "Dream of the Red Chamber" to spread throughout the streets of the country.
What is different from usual is that "Dream of the Red Chamber" is selected nationwide, not only from the class, which was simply a pioneering move at the time!
Chen Xiaoxu's heart was naturally moved after he knew it, and he was even a little excited.
As a literature lover, she has long been familiar with "Dream of the Red Chamber",
So he immediately made up his mind that he must take down Lin Daiyu.
She carefully selected a life photo of herself, and attached the small poem she composed to the back of the photo and sent it to director Wang Fulin, along with a cover letter.
Sure enough, Chen Xiaoxu, who had a good temperament, stood out in the crowd selection and instantly caught Wang Fulin's eyes.
He said, "Lin Daiyu's actor himself should be a poet."
Wang Fulin is a person who dares to think, dare to do, has vision, and has courage.
He gathered all the actors who passed the interview together, placed them in the Yuanmingyuan to participate in the training and selection, and let them choose the roles they wanted to play.
Isn't it the creation camp that chooses love beans now, which shows how advanced this idea is.
Young boys and girls get together, learn etiquette, learn musical instruments, learn calligraphy and poetry, and each one has grown a lot of skills, but they are not sure which one they are playing.
Only Chen Xiaoxu thought only about Daiyu,
She said, "I am Daiyu, and if I play someone else, the audience will only think that Daiyu is playing another girl." ”
During the filming, Chen Xiaoxu was also completely integrated, even outside the camera, she still treated people like Daiyu, and there was always a smart teasing in her eyebrows.
Even Wang Li, the "treasure sister" of the same crew, will pinch her face with love and hate like in the play.
A group of people who are young and prosperous in the morning gather together every day.
Chen Xiaoxu later recalled that this was the best time in his life.
02 The mall dropped a "Lin sister"
Since the broadcast of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Lin Daiyu's image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
At that time, everyone thought that even if she left the Dream of the Red Chamber and moved out of the "Grand View Garden", she would always be such a delicate little girl.
Who expected that due to fate, she actually stepped into the business world and became the chairman of the board.
"Dream of the Red Chamber" received great response after its broadcast, and became the most popular TV series in the history of Chinese television, with more than 700 rotations before and after.
The 21-year-old Chen Xiaoxu ate a casual meal with everyone and withdrew from the venue, and his heart was inevitably empty.
Everyone knows that no matter what she plays in the future, she will not be able to jump out of this Lin sister.
After leaving the crew, Chen Xiaoxu did not come out of Daiyu, nor did he want to come out.
Fortunately, Bi Yanjun caught Sister Lin who fell from the sky and did not let her fall to the ground.
Bi Yanjun and Chen Xiaoxu are old acquaintances of the Anshan Repertory Theatre, and the two have been very close friends and have been writing letters.
As early as when Chen Xiaoxu ran for Lin Daiyu, Bi Yanjun had already occupied a place in her heart.
He is young and talented, and he has helped her interpret "Dream of the Red Chamber" together and ponder Lin Daiyu together, and the two have long been deeply rooted.
After the shooting, the two were able to get together, and their feelings grew stronger, and they quickly pulled the evidence.
I thought that after that, you and I were happy and romantic, who expected that the initial beauty was only a flash in the pan, and it was not long before I thanked.
Chen Xiaoxu once laughed at himself for being too much of a thing, too selfish.
It is also true that Bi Yanjun, who was over thirty years old at that time, was in the initial stage of his career, and he was busy with big things and small things.
When I go home, I still have to deal with my wife's elusive little emotions, and no one can resist.
It didn't last long before the marriage broke.
Divorced Chen Xiaoxu is only 23 years old, and the ups and downs of her career and marriage have left no traces on her face, but they have changed her view of life.
The premise of life is survival, and even the most fairy people have to eat.
At the end of the 1980s, Beijing was undergoing vigorous reform and construction, and Chen Xiaoxu weighed the tens of thousands of pieces of remuneration he had accumulated, not knowing what to do.
At the end of the 1980s, it was the "fever of going abroad", and Chen Xiaoxu also wanted to take the opportunity to go to the United States to see, so he practiced English at home for a while.
Who expected lao mei not to watch "Dream of the Red Chamber", she was actually refused a visa, there is no way but to fly to Germany first, and then find a way to transfer the visa.
Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, helpless Chen Xiaoxu in the German Chinese does not understand, eat is not accustomed, only insisted on three months and then rushed back, no longer willing to go out.
Dismissing the idea of going abroad, Chen Xiaoxu listened to his friend's suggestion and set his sights on the hot stock market.
She bought the original shares of her only tens of thousands of pieces, and in that white-eyed era, such insight and boldness were really rare.
Therefore, relying solely on the money of stock speculation, Chen Xiaoxu became the first batch of people to become rich.
The tens of thousands of pieces that were originally thrown into it turned over several times in the blink of an eye.
This money was not a small amount at the beginning, and she hesitated again and again, or she still had to invest in the actual enterprise.
At that time, everyone was feeling the stones to cross the river, and the fight was courage.
Chen Xiaoxu took a fancy to the advertising industry, just in time for the Great Wall Advertising Company to rush to join, she took the money and went.
Who expected the other party to see that she was Lin Daiyu, and with such a large franchise fee, the current decision to let her be the headquarters manager,
She had no business concept at all, and intuitively had the audacity to sign it.
No experience in advertising, much less experience as a manager,
Chen Xiaoxu's career is more prosperous than others, all escorted by the title of "Lin Daiyu".
At the most difficult time of attracting business, a pharmaceutical factory that was about to close down came to me and declared, "I believe that Lin Daiyu will not deceive me." ”
Sure enough, relying on Chen Xiaoxu's efforts and her personal fame, this pharmaceutical factory actually came back to life!
In this way, the name of the Great Wall Advertising Company is getting louder and louder, and the headquarters is in the market for a while, and the business is endless.
Most of the partners are coming for "Lin Daiyu".
So in 1996, Chen Xiaoxu simply took the customer to set up his own company, Shibang Advertising Agency.
Shibang under the leadership of Chen Xiaoxu's rapid development, steady progress, to say that she is just crooked, blind cat meets the dead rat no one can believe.
But she always only said that she did not understand advertising, the only thing she did was to restrain her subordinates to operate in good faith, ensure the introduction of talents, and make good use of people.
As a boss, being able to do these two things has pushed open the door to success.
Nowadays, Shibang has become one of the most powerful communication groups in Beijing, with an annual turnover of up to 200 million.
Their partners are more industry leading brands, familiar with mobile, Li Ning, Wuliangye, Jinliufu, Correction Pharmaceutical, Yili, Youku and so on.
From 2004 to 2005, Chen Xiaoxu was successively named "One of the 30 Outstanding Female Advertisers in China" and "China's Economic Person of the Year".
When she first invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for such a huge success, she herself did not expect it.
In her early thirties, she was already worth more than 100 million, and ordinary people did not dare to think about things, she was not satisfied, and she still thought about Lin Daiyu in her heart.
Once, she said in the talk show "Art Life": "She still prefers to hear others call her Lin Daiyu than the title of chairman and successful woman." ”
03 Escape into the empty door
Toward the end of the twentieth century, 34-year-old Chen Xiaoxu fell into a panic about the shortness of life and the passage of time.
The fancy years that used to laugh and play with friends are no longer there,
Looking at the fading color of the American people in the mirror, watching her elderly parents full of hair, her sensitive and delicate heart was stabbed fiercely.
Just at this moment, she heard her friend's car playing the Immeasurable Life Sutra explained by the Pure Space Master.
The Pure Space Master is a well-known master in the Buddhist community.
Many of his writings, including the Buddhist scriptures he explains, are about Elysium.
This concept is exactly the key to Chen Xiaoxu, she just wants to seek a more wonderful life!
Two months later, when he heard that Master Jingkong was going to preach in Singapore, Chen Xiaoxu immediately rushed over and asked to visit the master on the spot.
After his conversion, Chen Xiaoxu officially embarked on a seven-year-long path of studying Buddhism.
During this period, she abandoned the company with a market value of more than 100 million yuan, took her current husband Hao Tong out of the house together, immersed herself in cultivation, and did not ask about the world.
Pray daily prayers and meditations, repentance and blessings for all sentient beings, and a full and peaceful life.
In February 2007, before people could relax from the inspirational story of Sister Lin's transformation into a business strong woman, they heard that she had become a nun.
This is not to mention, three months after the official ordination of the family, the rumors of Chen Xiaoxu's death suddenly broke out.
When the news first came out, no one believed that this was true, and everyone swore to come out and refute the rumors.
Who expected that the next day she would die of advanced breast cancer and be hammered.
People only then learned that the "Lin Sister" who originally lived in the temple may not have been in contact with the outside world for a long time.
In fact, as early as a year before Chen Xiaoxu's death, she felt more and more that her body was not right.
Aunt Wang Yuanfeng also saw her inadvertently dragging her right breast many times,
The family saw the situation and persuaded her to go to the hospital to see, but Chen Xiaoxu's sharp bones were not right, and it was really painful to do anything, so she went to grab a few pairs of Chinese medicines and come back to drink.
However, even if the Chinese medicine that was caught did not work at all, Chen Xiaoxu only thought that the Chinese medicine was slow to work.
Once, Chen Xiaoxu's right chest was really painful to bear, so he went to the hospital for examination.
After the results came out, everyone couldn't believe it, Chen Xiaoxu had breast cancer!
The doctor told her that her condition was very serious, that the cancer had spread throughout her body, and that she needed to be hospitalized immediately to prolong her life.
But the stubborn Chen Xiaoxu still chose to go home and eat Chinese medicine,
In this way, her body is not as good as a day, and her anxious family even invited a Beijing doctor to Shenzhen to treat her.
But even if he was skinny and bone-covered, one leg could not move, Chen Xiaoxu still did not accept diagnosis and treatment, and when he finally compromised and wanted to leave for the United States for treatment, it was already too late.
On May 13, 2007, Chen Xiaoxu died of breast cancer in Shenzhen at the age of 41.
Before dying, my family was with me and walked very peacefully.
According to Chen Xiaoxu's will, her family announced that they would help her create the Chen Xiaoxu Foundation, with a founding fund of 50 million yuan, of which 10 million came from Chen Xiaoxu's estate, and the remaining 40 million yuan was donated by the Pure Space Master.
However, when the reporter asked about the matter again half a month later, Chen Xiaoxu's sister Chen Xiaoyang told the reporter that the Pure Space Master was always unable to contact.
Since then, the Chen Xiaoxu Foundation has become an empty talk and has never been mentioned again.
As for the trillions of family property that was rumored at that time, Father Chen said that Chen Xiaoxu's family property did not have the 200 million yuan that Master NetKong said, and the charity funds that he said he wanted to set up a charitable fund were still in the hands of Master Netkong.
As soon as this news was released, it immediately caused an uproar, and many people believed that the reason why the Pure Space Master hid the news of Chen Xiaoxu's death was to transfer his assets.
Otherwise, why did the 200 million family properties that the Pure Space Mage originally claimed end up leaving only one villa?
As people's attention shifted, Chen Xiaoxu began to be gradually forgotten by the world, and only fans were still talking about the cause of her death.
Some people say that Chinese medicine hurt her, because she believes in Chinese medicine too much, and her physical discomfort only prescribes a few pairs of Chinese medicines, which drags the early stage into the late stage.
Some people argue that Western medicine may not be cured, and no one can be sure of cancer.
In fact, the core of Chen Xiaoxu's rejection of Western medicine is that she is a person who pursues perfection, coupled with her belief in Buddhism.
Even if she dies, she will die perfectly.
But this concept is completely irresponsible to life and to relatives.
The mind is like a floating cloud, and it is like flowing water to do things.
Chen Xiaoxu's choice in life can be summed up in four words: move with your heart.
Constantly jumping out of the comfort zone, it is inevitable to label her as brave.
But in the people-oriented concept of survival, Perfect wants to attack her for blasphemy against life.
At this point, we must both learn and be a warning.
Learn from her relentless pursuit of self and perfection, abandoning her egotism of putting life aside and being selfless.
Being responsible for yourself and fearing life is the ultimate meaning of life trajectory.
