Last month, the TV series "The Second Embrace" ended in a low-key manner, and the 45-year-old actress Chen Shu still won praise from the audience for her excellent acting skills, superior figure and charming appearance.
In the play, the heroine fang yuan played by her is a housewife who has paid for the family for many years, and in the face of her husband's sudden bankruptcy, she chooses to return to the workplace and finally reopens the story of the peak of her career.
While Fang Yuan continued to do his best for the family, the backyard was on fire: her husband Li Cheng's spirit was derailed.
Fang Yuan, who once sold 20 million houses to save her husband, resolutely chose to divorce after learning that he was betrayed.
But what is more confusing is that in the finale, she seems to have forgiven Li Cheng.
And this bridge section seems to reflect the emotional story of actor Chen Shu, her husband Zhao Yinyin, who has been married for 11 years, also reported a cloud of infidelity in May this year...
Anyone who has seen Chen Shu's performance may be attracted by her charming temperament:
Indeed, when acting in the Republic of China drama, she can be a "cheongsam goddess" with a variety of styles;
When acting in modern dramas, she turned into a heroic "workplace elite".
In fact, these temperaments are innate.
Chen Shu was born in 1977 in An artistic family in Huangshi, Hubei Province, and his father, Chen Zongshan, was an actor and choreographer of a local song and dance troupe, and in the 1980s he produced many excellent classic works and won awards.
Mother Chen is a national second-class actor, good at playing flute and piano, and was also a great beauty with extraordinary temperament when she was young.
10 years before the couple gave birth to Chen Shu, they also gave birth to a boy named Chen Dan, who is currently a famous composer.
Chen Shu is the daughter of her father who was born at the age of 37, so she has always been cherished in the family.
Her grandfather and grandmother, who were professors at Hubei University at the time, named her Chen Shu, which means "timely rain".
Chen Shu was sent by his mother to learn dance since he was a child, and at the age of 11, he was directly admitted to the North Dance Affiliated High School and systematically studied ballet, classical and folk dance.
Four years later, Chen Shu graduated and successfully entered the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe as a dancer, and such a life was 6 years.
If he hadn't starred in the musical "The Sound of Music" that time, perhaps Chen Shu, like many dancers, would have returned to calm after a short career.
But fate will always give more choices to gifted people.
In 1998, because she sang a song by Su Rui's "Feeling of Heartache" in the office of the actor Cheng Fangyuan, she was photographed by the artistic director of the musical "The Sound of Music" and immediately participated.
After four months of devilish training, The Sound of Music was a great success and acclaim.
She also felt the charm of acting, and was also suggested by her friends to learn acting, and then decided to apply for chinese opera to study acting.
To that end, she gave up a steady job, and a suite at her fingertips.
The following year, chen Shu, who was already 22 years old, was admitted to the higher vocational class of the Chinese Opera Acting Department, and became classmates with Yu Xiaowei and Yu Zhen.
Chen Shu, who has just entered the acting class, is not outstanding, or even very poor.
It is said that she had no experience at all when she first came into acting, and the other students were basically from the repertory theatre.
The first month of enrollment was the most painful day for Chen Shu.
Watching her classmates rehearse and perform skits every day, she was completely ignorant and could only stand silly on the side to "steal the teacher".
Once, in order to rehearse a skit, Chen Shu choreographed for 9 hours in a row, but it was unsuccessful, causing her to lose control of her emotions and cry.
But she has been living in the greenhouse, but she did not accept defeat, after which she got up early every day to practice morning exercises, and even the time to go to the toilet was memorizing lines.
And she never cared about the role of the dragon set, and felt that she could hone her acting skills little by little.
At the end of the semester, Chen Shu's performance course performance soared, jumping directly from the bottom to the third place in the class, and in the first semester of the freshman year, he became the top of the class.
Perhaps it is the talent from his parents, perhaps the emperor is worthy of his heart, or perhaps it is Chen Shu's own strong personality that has achieved Chen Shu's achievements in his acting career.
In her junior year, at the age of 24, she entered the National Drama Theatre and began working as an actress, and in the same year she was given the opportunity to participate in her first TV series, The Traveler's Tale.
In those years, although the public did not have much impression of Chen Shu, the drama stage added a lot of strength to the growth of her acting skills, and the shooting of film and television works allowed her to accumulate a sense of lens.
Two years later, Chen Shu starred in the criminal investigation drama "Sonorous Rose", a story about fledgling policewomen, in which she played the stubborn heroine Zhang Zihui.
It is said that at the beginning, the director did not recognize Chen Shu very much, believing that her image was somewhat different from that of the policewoman.
In order to win this role, Chen Shu imitated the scene of the police pulling out a gun in a Hollywood movie, practicing it over and over again, and finally not only won the role, but also let many viewers know her for the first time.
Because of his serious attitude and relaxed acting skills, Chen Shu has also won the recognition of people in the industry.
Since then, she has continued to play, especially in 2005, she starred in "Dark Calculation" directed by Liu Yunlong, the "father of spy films".
In the film, Chen Shu starred in the heroine, Zhang Yang's mathematician Huang Yiyi, and also won the Top Ten Classic TV Series Character Award for this role.
And this drama also makes Chen Shu go further towards the throne of a first-line actress.
In order to make it easier for the audience to remember herself, she also changed her original name to "Chen Shu", which has two meanings:
The first is to commemorate the mathematician Huang Yiyi; The second is to hide the meaning of "counting" in the hearts of themselves and the audience.
When Chen Shu gradually became popular because of Huang Yiyi, the public also turned over many works she had acted in before, and suddenly found that she had quietly "changed her face" after becoming popular.
Indeed, now that you take out the photos of her early debut, you can see that Chen Shu's change in appearance is really not small:
Later, some people analyzed that over the years, she at least did surgery such as ptosis correction, nose wing narrowing, and jaw angle grinding, and was also called "the most successful female star of plastic surgery".
Despite this, the doubts about Chen Shu's plastic surgery have been there all these years, and she herself has personally responded, saying that she "relies on strength."
However, compared with the public's opposition to plastic surgery by Yang Ying, Fan Moubing and others, Chen Shu is quite tolerant, and even some people say bluntly: "Temperament cannot be straightened out." ”
After bidding farewell to "Dark Calculations", Chen Shu took out the role of "Fang Yanyun", a social flower with a variety of styles, kindness and affection, but lonely wandering in "New On the Beach".
At this time, she was only 29 years old, but after putting on the cheongsam, the Republic of China's dress was full of styles, and even Sun Li, the actor who once crushed the heroine Feng Chengcheng.
Also this year, Chen Shu starred in the TV series "Acacia Tree" directed by Sun Zhou, and met each other's friend, pianist Zhao Yinyin, by chance.
Zhao Yinyin is 5 years older than Chen Shu, although he is not as good as Lang Lang in his acting achievements, but his birth background is definitely not low.
His aunt and grandmother were empress wanrong, who was divorcing Puyi, her grandfather had worked as a private school, and his mother had been the head of the piano department of Guangzhou Xinghai College, which was once famous for producing talent stars such as Zhou Bichang.
His mother is Zhao Yinyin's piano initiation teacher, and he himself won the Australian "ABC" Young Artist Award at the age of 18, which can also be regarded as a teenager's fame.
Zhao Yinyin once had a marriage, the woman's name is Huang Zijia, although it seems to be unknown, but in fact, she is also a prominent figure.
Huang Zijia exposed Ye Yiqian's scandal with Tian Liang in 2012, when she was the woman's agent.
She once had a brief love affair with Park Shu, said to be the other's first love girlfriend, and there are rumors that the song "Those Flowers" was written by Park Shu for her.
By chance, she married Zhao Yinyin, and the two gave birth to their son Elephant in 2003.
However, because the man has been performing outside for many years, the couple gathered less and left more, and the marriage finally lasted for more than two years before peacefully breaking up.
After the divorce, Huang Zijia went to Beijing to develop, and her ex-husband also recommended her to the company of his friend Hei Nan, so she had the opportunity to become Ye Yiqian's agent.
Speaking of Chen Shu, after getting to know Zhao Yinyin, she was quickly loved at first sight by the other party and launched a warm pursuit.
It is said that on the 15th day of their acquaintance, the man proposed to her in a furious manner, but Chen Shu did not agree.
Chen Shu's reason for refusal is simple: for her married life, she does not want to be too rash, or she hopes to have a long flow of feelings.
After being with Zhao Yinyin, she did not give up her career in the ascending period, but in 2009, she climbed to the peak because she starred in the Republic of China love drama "Love in the City".
So far, the "white tassel" played by Chen Shu is a classic in the hearts of many audiences - she completely interprets Zhang Ailing's weak, stubborn and selfish white tassel with a raised hand and a smile.
This role also made her nominated for the Best Actress Award at the 4th Seoul Television Festival in South Korea and the Best Actress Award in the Love Genre of the Huabiao Award.
Since then, Chen Shu has found a suitable role direction for himself: the goddess of the cheongsam with all kinds of styles.
As a result, there were many images of huang anqi, tielihua and Chen Jiaying shaped by her.
In 2011, in the fourth year of falling in love with Zhao Yinyin, Chen Shu chose to enter the marriage in a low-key manner, and she got along well with the man's son Elephant, and even regarded the other party as her own son.
Years later, Chen Shu publicly stated that he would choose not to have children because of elephants.
For such a decision, many people may not be able to understand, but Zhao Yinyin did clearly express his love for Chen Shu in an interview, he said this:
"You know very well that at the age of 70, you will still hold this woman's hand and walk around the park with you."
Although the life of the two after marriage is low-key, but the show of love is very different, Zhao Yinyin's hands that play the piano, several times for Chen Shu to cook soup.
And after the two got married, in order to spend more time with his wife, Zhao Yinyin also claimed to have "married to Beijing".
Indeed, after getting married, Chen Shu is still at ease in his favorite acting career:
Her transformation starred in "Husband and Wife Those Things" and "I Love Male Girlfriends" and other hits.
People are surprised to find that in this charming actress, there are countless possibilities, and her ability to shape the role is beyond imagination.
In recent years, Chen Shu has not rejected ancient puppet dramas, and he will not refuse to star because he is not the heroine.
She has participated in "Chao Ge" and "Choosing Heaven" for young Xiaohua as a supporting role, but in the end she has not forgotten her advantages.
In 2018, the spy drama "Peace Hotel" starring the 41-year-old Chen Shu was broadcast, and she once again "went out of the circle" with the role of senior detective expert "Chen Jiaying".
People seem to have seen the beautiful cheongsam goddess reappear many years ago, and at the same time they were pleasantly surprised to find:
Her figure, temperament, and appearance did not collapse over time, but added to the agility and elegance, as well as all the styles of mature women.
It was also this year that Chen Shu posted congratulations on his social platform on the birthday of his stepson Elephant.
Although she has been growing up with the boy for 7 years, she is still very sober and still calls "Aunt Chen Shu", which is both decent and warm.
After that, Chen Shu still has unlimited scenery:
Starring in "Chang'an Road", she won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Macao International Film Festival;
In the street drama "Perfect Relationship", she once again circled countless fans with the role of the domineering strong woman Stella.
While his career is developing rapidly, Chen Shu's marriage seems to have hit a rock:
In 2020, Zhao Yinyin suddenly released a photo of holding another woman on his social platform, which made the marriage relationship between the two into a mystery.
Later, the public found that his air interaction with his wife stayed the previous year, and Zhao Yinyin was later photographed appearing on the street with a mysterious woman, and even wore couple shoes.
In this regard, Chen Shu never said a word, but calmly said in the interview:
"Gender relations are a very difficult thing in the world. Its success rate is completely incomparable with work..."
There are rumors that this is actually Chen Shu's second marriage, and it is said that her first marriage also ended because of the man's cheating.
Today, we can only see that Chen Shu has indeed entrusted himself more to his work.
Two months ago, she entered the group of TV series "Above the River", this time playing the role of the workplace elite Xia Weidong, you can see from the boot chart that her state is as good as ever.
Perhaps the public can not comment that for the sake of 10 years of marriage, Chen Shu, who has given up several times, is worth it in the end, and I only hope that she can find a more successful self in her work, after all, only work will not deceive people.
