One
In 2009, 24-year-old Gan Tingting, invited by the crew of the new version of "Water Margin", played the famous singer Li Shishi of the Northern Song Dynasty.
After filming a few scenes, once during dinner, director Ju Jueliang kept sighing.
Gan Tingting asked him, why is this happening?
Ju Jueliang said that he recently interviewed several actresses, all of whom are domestic and Korean, but there is no one who meets the temperament of "Pan Jinlian".
Gan Tingting listened and did not speak.
Suddenly, the director looked up at her: "Tingting, do you want to try?" ”
Gan Tingting was stunned, and came to play Pan Jinlian herself? Playing a bad woman again?
The reason why Gan Tingting has such a reaction is because she has played too many "bad women" before.
Born in 1986 in Wuhu, Anhui Province, she had a father who liked to speculate in stocks.
In order to "inherit her father's business", Gan Tingting chose a securities investment major when she was in college.
She wanted to become a financial woman, but at that time, she did not think that she could one day become an actress.
When she was in college, because of her outstanding appearance, she was discovered by scouts and embarked on the road of shooting advertisements.
In just one year, her invitations to advertise spiked because of her excellent photogenic performance.
Gan Tingting walked on the streets of Shanghai and could see her own advertisements everywhere.
Therefore, she also has the title of "Advertising Queen" in Shanghai.
There are more commercial shots, and Gan Tingting has a new understanding of her life plan.
She wanted to be a real professional actor.
Therefore, she resolutely gave up Shanghai's rich remuneration and became a "North Drift" family.
When she arrived in Beijing, Gan Tingting first went to the Central Academy of Drama to study acting.
Later, with the help of his agent, he started his career as an actor.
But there were so many people in the north drift, and Gan Tingting's life was suddenly in trouble after running multiple crews without results.
If she hadn't made a little money from stock speculation before, I'm afraid she would have been sleeping on the streets of Beijing a long time ago.
In the most difficult time, she had to stay at the agent's house and wait for the turnaround.
Two
In 2005, 19-year-old Gan Tingting finally waited for her chance.
With "Zhu Yuanzhang" starring with Hu Jun, she officially entered the door of the show business circle.
The following year, she played the roles of Su Su and Wu Xiang in the Sino-Vietnamese co-production film "Hanoi, Hanoi",
Won the "Best Actress Award" at the 2007 Vietnam Golden Kite International Film Festival.
The success of these two film and television dramas has made many directors begin to pay attention to this beautiful actress.
Subsequently, her drama continued.
He has successively starred in many film and television dramas such as "Night Run", "Detective Cheng Xu's Dragon City Years", "Can't Do Without Her", "Jianghu Brothers", "Suo Chun Ji" and so on.
What really made Gan Tingting's fame soar was that she and Sun Honglei starred in the anti-special TV series "Landing, Please Open the Mobile Phone".
In the play, Ye Huimei, played by her, will stop at nothing to achieve the goal, making the audience hate and itch her teeth.
After the drama was broadcast, it received good ratings and attention, and Gan Tingting's national attention became higher and higher.
After performing "Landing, Please Open the Mobile Phone", Gan Tingting participated in a historical drama "Female Soldiers of the New Fourth Army".
Judging from the role she takes over, Gan Tingting is not limited to a certain type of role.
Therefore, when she received the invitation of "New Water Margin" to see that she was playing Li Shishi, a famous beauty in the Northern Song Dynasty, she accepted it in a good mood.
Li Shishi is the most famous beauty in history, and she has legendary emotional stories with the chivalrous Guest Yan Qing and Song Huizong.
But who would have thought that half of the director would be called Gan Tingting, to play the infamous Pan Jinlian.
"Can you come and play this Pan Jinlian, because we have watched the film and television dramas you have acted in before, and you have played the image of many bad women, and you are also very beautiful, which is very suitable for playing Pan Jinlian."
Gan Tingting couldn't bear to see the director embarrassed, and also felt that the role of Pan Jinlian was very challenging, so she agreed.
Three
Since she decided to play Pan Jinlian, Gan Tingting thought about this role very seriously.
After all, there were too many versions of "Pan Jinlian" in the past, and Gan Tingting had to perform a different style.
In order to portray the role of Pan Jinlian, she took the initiative to ask for three more bathing scenes.
Because she felt that in feudal society, women could only really relax and express the most free state of mind when they bathed themselves.
This opinion was adopted by the director.
In 2011, a new version of "Water Margin" was broadcast.
As one of the four famous works, the drama has received a lot of attention from the outside world.
And Gan Tingting successfully played Pan Jinlian because of the performance of "open-mindedness", which can be described as a hit in the interpretation circle.
The naïve Gan Tingting thought that she had finally survived.
But she never expected that she would become Pan Jinlian herself and defeat Pan Jinlian.
Since then, in the acting career of more than ten years, no matter what he plays, he cannot get rid of the label of "Pan Jinlian".
From the war legend drama "Life and Death", Zhiqing Xin Lili;
To "Sorghum Red", the beautiful female warrior Li Qiuying;
Then in "New Bright Sword", the pure female nurse Tian Yu.
Gan Tingting tried to use the roles in the main drama to dilute the influence of "Pan Jinlian" herself.
But the effect is not obvious.
Even if she devotes herself to the continuous artillery drama "Towards the Cannon Fire", "October Siege", or "Twenty-Four Turns", Gan Tingting cannot change the world's inherent impression of herself.
Four
In 2015, Gan Tingting set up her own personal studio.
Since then, the dramas she has taken over have basically wandered between ancient puppet dramas.
In recent years, what makes people more impressive should be the "New Xiao Eleven Lang" starring her and Yan Yikuan in 2016.
In this martial arts drama, Gan Tingting's ancient costume appearance makes people shine.
However, there was Wu Qilong and Zhu Yin's version of Zhu Yu in front of it, and this version was quite controversial.
Now that Gan Tingting, who is getting older, has gradually reduced her drama contracts and begun to invest in some film and television dramas as a boss.
On March 15 this year, the TV series "Love Fight Will Win" starring her began broadcasting online.
In the play, Gan Tingting plays Ye Dalian, a representative of female entrepreneurs.
However, the show did not cause too many waves.
From a professional background in securities investment, to becoming a well-known advertising queen in Shanghai, to an actor who has gradually grown up in the North Drift family;
Gan Tingting can also be regarded as an inspirational role model.
Her refined face has made her, together with Fan Bingbing and Yin Tao, become the top three Chinese female stars who are most liked by Koreans.
However, after playing a "Pan Jinlian", Gan Tingting's impression in the audience has almost become synonymous with "bad woman".
Perhaps, even Gan Tingting herself did not expect it to be like this.
After 12 years, does she regret her original choice?
Maybe.
After all, from the drama she followed, we can see that she has been trying to break her own image.
Unfortunately, the acting skills did not reach the fire, and the transformation was not successful;
Therefore, she still stayed in the image of "Pan Jinlian" and could not get out.
Her face, beautiful is beautiful, but it has no characteristics, making people feel that there is no depth in beauty.
This may be the reason why Gan Tingting has not been popular in recent years.
