preface
Speaking of the beauty stars of the 80s, it must be mentioned that Zhu Lin, the "king of the daughter country".
She is not a prolific female star, even after the popularity of "Journey to the West", she still maintains the rhythm of shooting a drama for several years, which is related to her personality.
In the 22 years since her debut, she has created many excellent characters.
Jiang Man, the heroine of "Triumph in the Midnight", and Wen Yan, an opera singer who played in "Away from the War Years", etc.
In particular, the "king of the daughter country" played by her has not been surpassed by anyone so far.
At the same time, her love life is also talked about.
She had two marriages, and after the first marriage ended, she never remarried, and everyone said that it was because she had been silently in love with "Tang Monk" Xu Shaohua.
But at the age of 53, she married her husband outside the circle in a low profile, and the two agreed on Dink's life, and the reason for "Dink" is admirable.
Now Zhu Lin is 70 years old, but she does not have a single white hair.
She worked out every day, read books, watched movies, photographed, recited, performed bullet words, and lived her life into poetry, which was enviable.
01
In 1952, Zhu Lin first entered the show business circle, unlike other actresses.
Because she is a typical lady, she was born in Beijing to an intellectual family.
Her father was a professor at Beijing Institute of Technology, and her mother was a doctor, and she paid great attention to her education from an early age.
In those days, it was impossible for a girl from such a family to become an actor.
After Zhu Lin grew up, she also had a very good job and marriage, if it were not for the hard pulls of a group of directors, Zhu Lin would not have acted no matter what.
In order to exercise her temperament, her parents sent her to learn dance gymnastics.
Because she looks beautiful and dances well, at the age of 18, Zhu Lin was admitted to the Beijing Communications Corps As a dancer.
But this is just a transit station, after 5 years of jumping, Zhu Lin was admitted to the Institute of Health of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, while studying and working, and became a formal researcher after 3 years.
Originally, her life trajectory would follow her parents' planning, marriage, children, and a plain life, although plain but stable and smooth.
However, Zhu Lin's heart was always burning with a fire, and it could not be extinguished.
In her days at the institute, she always missed the time of dancing on stage.
Spinning, turning back, the skirt flying, and the enthusiastic applause of the audience.
But after thinking about it, she could only sigh and return to the work of the institute.
She understands that this job is not easy to come by, how many people want to enter can not come in, they must cherish it, dream of those illusory things, can only be sealed in the bottom of their hearts.
When she was 23 years old, she was approached by a director through the leader of the literary troupe, hoping that she would play a role in "The Island Girl Militia".
If you want to act, go to beijing film studio to audition.
Zhu Lin couldn't make up her mind and went home to ask her parents for their opinions, which were directly denied by their parents.
Later, the role was played by Cai Ming.
At the age of 28, Zhu Lin married her husband under the arrangement of her parents.
The husband has a stable job like her, a tall and handsome family, and in the eyes of others, it is really a combination of talent and female appearance, and if there is a big fat boy in the future, it will be perfect.
However, Zhu Lin became more and more resistant to her parents' arrangements, and for the first time she refused their parents' demands that she have children quickly, she said: "I don't want to have children, I don't want to live this same life anymore." ”
Her somewhat advanced remarks surprised her parents.
They never expected that their daughter, who had always been obedient, could say such a "rebellious" thing.
In fact, the reason why Zhu Lin is like this is influenced by the little sisters of the cultural and labor troupe.
The little sisters of the original literary troupe are all out of the woods, showing their faces in many movies, experiencing different lives, and living a colorful life.
Looking at herself again, life is like a pool of stagnant water, you can see the head at a glance, Zhu Lin has a bold decision.
02
In 1980, the movie "Traitor" was recruiting actors, and Zhu Lin saw it and immediately decided to audition.
The director felt that Zhu Lin's temperament was very similar to the role of an intellectual in the play, so he let her try a scene of knitting sweaters.
But Zhu Lin couldn't knit sweaters at all.
In desperation, Zhu Lin remembered the way her mother knitted sweaters, and she drew a picture of a gourd.
After the audition, the director told her to go back and wait for the result, and Zhu Lin was disheartened and thought that there must be no drama.
Unexpectedly, a few days after going back, I received a shooting notice from the crew, and it seems that the appearance value is good no matter what era.
Zhu Lin was very happy, and after greeting the station, she was going to enter the crew.
The husband is naturally unwilling, and not long after the two were newly married, she had to go so far away to shoot a scene by herself.
But looking at her elated look, her husband couldn't bear to splash her cold water, thinking: Just let her shoot once, just complete her wish, after filming this time she may be able to collect her heart and come back to have a baby.
He did not expect that this beautiful bird, as soon as it was released, would never come back.
Zhu Lin excitedly followed the crew to Yunnan.
But I didn't expect to shoot the first scene and be scolded by the director to spew dog blood.
This is a scene of finding someone in the jungle, and Zhu Lin has to shout and look for it in the jungle.
After the director talked about the scene, she began to shoot, and Zhu Lin shouted the three words "Teacher Niu" into the depths of the jungle as she did in life.
But the director directly stuck, and said sharply: "Haven't you eaten?" Louder! ”
Zhu Lin knew that she was a little unable to let go, so she cleared her throat and shouted louder, but the director was still not satisfied.
After wasting a lot of film, the director was a little impatient, And Zhu Lin saw the situation and cleverly added a "hands as a horn" gesture, hoping that the sound would be louder.
I didn't expect the director to see her directly angry: "What are you doing?" Who made you sound it? Are you in the big forest and need to make a sound? Will you act? ”
Zhu Lin almost cried, and she realized that acting was not as simple as she thought.
After following the crew for several months, the scene was finally successfully filmed, and Zhu Lin also shed a layer of skin.
But this did not erase the acting fire in her heart, but let her immerse herself in the role every day, hollowing out how to shape the character.
After returning to Beijing, in order to enhance her professionalism, Zhu Lin enrolled in the amateur class of the Beijing Film Academy in her spare time and studied professional acting.
This amateur class is all studied after work, including Zhao Baogang, Li Chengru and others.
Because of her beautiful looks, Zhu Lin has always been the object of cooperation among her classmates, including students in the department of directing who shoot short dramas, and always come to invite Zhu Lin to star.
After graduation, the amateur class would not be assigned, but when Emei Film Studio came to select someone, it took a fancy to the beautiful Zhu Lin at a glance and hoped to second her from the institute.
Unexpectedly, this secondment made Zhu Lin have no job and no marriage.
03
First of all, the institute did not agree to the secondment, because in the past few years, Zhu Lin has gone to other places to shoot dramas and taken acting classes, which has delayed a lot of work.
The leader of the unit finally decided: either work well in the institute, or directly dismiss and go directly to work at Emei Film Studio.
When she learned of the results of the institute, the first to object were her parents.
The institute is an "iron rice bowl", and it is impossible to resign at all.
And her husband no longer supports her, because he feels that acting has "played wild" zhu lin's temperament.
In the past few years of marriage, she has not been a housewife at home for a few days, she has not even cooked him a few meals, and he is ridiculed every day for getting married and no one cares.
And more importantly, the two people are not young, and they should have children, but Zhu Lin still has to go to filming, which means that they may not be able to have children for several years.
Her always understanding husband couldn't stand her "not doing the right thing" anymore, saying, "I'm just an ordinary person, I just want to live an ordinary life." If you have to go to filming, we will divorce, you go after your dreams, I will find someone to live. ”
In desperation, Zhu Lin finally chose to divorce, she also felt that she could not give her husband the life he wanted, rather than dragging on, it was better to let him go, both of them were happy.
At the age of 30, Zhu Lin officially entered the Emei Film Studio and began her acting career.
She has made films such as "A Place Away from the Crowd", "Crooked Stone Path", and "Meet Again in Twenty Years", but they have not aroused much splash.
Zhu Lin found that the "intellectual temperament" in her body was a double-edged sword.
She can only play some intellectual roles, and it is very contrary to other roles, such as "peasant, worker", etc. to let her play.
However, the most popular movies of that era were all depicting the lives of peasants, such as "Little Flower" starring Liu Xiaoqing, "The Great Wall of the South China Sea", and "Daughter of a Slave" starring Pan Hong, all of which were the children of peasants.
Only this kind of film can stimulate the audience's empathy, so after 4 years of acting, Zhu Lin's drama path has become narrower and narrower.
She decided to seek a breakthrough.
In 1985, when director Yang Jie was preparing to shoot "Journey to the West", he was worried about the role of "King of the Daughter Country".
She looked at thousands of beautiful women who were not satisfied.
Because in her heart, the "King of the Daughter Country" is a role that makes Tang Monk move his mortal heart, and the person who plays her must have extraordinary beauty and unworldly temperament in order to make the monk move his heart.
Until she saw Zhu Lin's photo, it was her who immediately clapped!
A pair of apricot eyes flowing, dignified and elegant temperament is not stained with mortal dust, this is a woman worthy of "holy monk".
For this scene, Yang Jie filmed countless times.
In particular, the scene where the king of the daughter country confessed to the Tang monk on that night was filmed over and over again.
This scene has also become a classic in "Journey to the West".
When Zhu Lin wore tulle and softly shouted "Royal Brother Brother", many people were moved.
The king of the daughter kingdom said to Tang Monk, "If you open your eyes and look at me, I don't believe that your eyes are empty." ”
Tang Monk was sweating profusely and did not dare to look at her, saying, "If there is a fate in the next life," he did not dare to promise the next life.
The two were even more because of this scene, which was rumored for a long time, saying that Zhu Lin had never been married for Xu Shaohua.
And Zhu Lin also admitted in the show: at that time, it was indeed "fake drama and real work", and that feeling was real.
But the two men were doomed to no results.
Because Xu Shaohua is already married, his wife is the director Yang Kun, and the two have a deep relationship.
Whether it is true or not, Zhu Lin has indeed been single for a long time and has never remarried.
The role of the king of the daughter country has a profound impact on her.
She once said: "Like the king of the daughter country, he knows the general body and understands the righteousness, and finally regards love as a longing, a pursuit, and a enjoyment, and the king of the daughter country has done it, and I hope I can do it too." ”
In 1987, she and Shi Zhaoqi starred in the TV series "Triumph in the Midnight", playing the heroine Jiang Man and becoming a goddess in the minds of many people.
Because of her excellent acting skills, she also won the "Golden Eagle Award" for best actress.
He also played the opera singer Wen Yan in the film "Away from the War Years", which won the Silver Medal at the Asian, African and Latin American Film Festival and the Special Jury Prize at the Salso International Film Festival in Italy.
He also starred in TV series such as "Great Qin Cavity" and "Six Groups of Serious Cases".
But there is no longer any role that can surpass the "king of the daughter country".
04
In her 50s, she met her current husband, who is an outsider and a fan of hers.
After being introduced by friends, he pursued Zhu Lin.
But Zhu Lin rejected him very directly.
Zhu Lin said to him: "I have pursued freedom in my life, I only want to live myself, I don't want to have children, I don't want to delay you." ”
Who expected him to say: "You don't want to have children, let's just Dink, I will accompany you wherever you want to go, and I will never let you do something you don't like." ”
Zhu Lin was moved, but still tested him for several years before she registered her marriage with him.
After marriage, Zhu Lin reduced her work, except for the occasional cameo in the TV series, that is, to travel around the mountains and rivers, and her husband has been with her, taking photos and backpacking for her.
She also enjoys acting in plays, poetry readings, and fitness.
He is 70 years old but still in good shape, does not have a single white hair, looks only in his 50s, and does not know whether he has not given birth to a child.
As for the reasons for not having children, she once said on the show.
First, afraid of trouble, he became an actor when he was young, and he has long been accustomed to a black-and-white upside-down life, rushing to shoot day and night.
There is not much room for free use, and even if you have a child, you don't have much time and energy to put into your child.
If she couldn't love him well, she'd rather not be angry.
Second, Zhu Lin said that she did not have the confidence to be a good mother, and she often saw some children, due to poor education, developed many bad habits and even committed some illegal acts.
"Especially children in the show business circle, they will feel that they have more aura than other children, so they don't think about doing things, so I'm afraid I can't afford the responsibility of education." Zhu Lin said.
Zhu Lin did not agree that without her own children, it was an incomplete life.
She believes that there are no boundaries on whether a woman's life is complete or not.
"Whether it is a woman's life or a man's life, it is a life experience, I have my career, in my more than 20 years of acting career, I have experienced too many life tragedies and joys, ups and downs, flesh and blood affection, so my life experience is rich." 」
In Zhu Lin's view, she has a happy and happy home, a husband who loves her, and they fully enjoy life together, which is enough for her.
As an actor, I have the opportunity to experience a different life, I don't want to take on the responsibilities and risks of raising a child, I just want to enjoy the rest of my life, there is nothing wrong with that.
Everyone's pursuit is different, and they don't regret it.
