In 1993, as soon as the 20-year-old Xin Baiqing entered the door of Chinese opera, he met a girl with marijuana braids on her head, and looking at her sweet smile and sonorous steps, Xin Baiqing was deeply attracted.
He secretly thought in his heart that his future daughter-in-law would be her.
You know, before this, Xin Baiqing's daughter-in-law in her heart has always been a goddess like Maggie Cheung.
But when he met the girl who looked a little earthy and a little silly, none of this mattered.
In this way, Xin Baiqing began to approach the girl step by step with "purpose", until he won the championship in school with his years of high jump skills and won two bags of laundry detergent and three bars of soap, Xin Baiqing finally had the confidence to confess.
At the speed of a hundred meters sprint, he ran to the girl's dormitory, threw down laundry detergent and soap, and said with a red face and a thick neck:
Which of you wants laundry detergent?
The girls in the dormitory looked at it and ridiculed sensibly:
Which of you is for us, it is obviously for Yuanyuan.
Listening to everyone's ridicule, Xin Baiqing's face turned even redder, yes, his washing powder was for Yuanyuan, the girl who let him only take a look, and the feelings in his heart began to take root, desperate to catch up.
What is the charm of Zhu Yuanyuan, which can make Xin Baiqing fall in love at first sight, perhaps we can find the answer from Zhu Yuanyuan's growth story.
01
In 1974, Zhu Yuanyuan, who was born in Qingdao, Shandong, has been the little princess in the family since she was a child, spoiled by her parents, and let her brothers and sisters let her, so that Zhu Yuanyuan developed a lively and cheerful, singing and dancing good character.
Zhu Yuanyuan's family is not rich, not a rich and noble family, but in a harmonious family environment, every corner of the home is full of the taste of love.
Winter in Qingdao is very cold, and Zhu Yuanyuan's family has to climb a big steep slope to school, and her father has to ride a bicycle to take the children to school every day in order not to let the children freeze.
Every snowy day, the snowflakes fall in the sky, which is the most difficult time for my father to ride, the slope is steep and slippery, and my father can only send my sister first, and then send Zhu Yuanyuan.
Looking at her father's cold red ears, Zhu Yuanyuan felt very distressed, so every time her father drove her, she sat in the back seat and her butt was always lifted, helping her father to work hard.
And Zhu Yuanyuan's mother treated all of Zhu Yuanyuan's whimsy even more gently.
When she was a child, Zhu Yuanyuan always learned to look like on TV, using red ink and blue ink at home to turn herself into a "monster", but her mother never blamed her.
Just as the so-called "knowing daughter Mo Ruomu", Zhu Yuanyuan's mother has long known that her daughter has always secretly hidden a "performance dream" in her heart, because when she was young, she also had it.
Zhu Yuanyuan's mother has been interested in literature and art since she was a child, and she dreamed of becoming an excellent actor, but in the social environment at that time, all aspects of the conditions did not allow.
In the end, due to the cruelty of real life, Zhu Yuanyuan's mother could only hide her dream in her heart, turned around and walked into the factory, becoming a factory flower.
But what she didn't expect was that art would also be inherited, it crossed Zhu Yuanyuan's brothers and sisters, and directly inherited it to Zhu Yuanyuan, who had a pair of small tiger teeth like her.
Therefore, with the support of her mother, Zhu Yuanyuan's character of singing, dancing and tossing can also be fully exerted, but it is Gong Li who can make Zhu Yuanyuan completely interested in acting.
In 1987, a "Red Sorghum" swept the film industry, and Gong Li's wonderful performance in the movie surprised everyone, including Zhu Yuanyuan, who was only 13 years old.
Looking at Gong Li's beautiful and flexible face in the movie, Zhu Yuanyuan secretly swore in her heart:
When I grow up, I must be like Gong Li, a beautiful and excellent good actor.
Since then, Zhu Yuanyuan has taken Gong Li as her goal, actively participated in various literary competitions in the school, and looked for opportunities for breakthroughs.
02
At that time, the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe was looking for dancers all over the world, and when they stopped in Qingdao, they were directly attracted by Zhu Yuanyuan, who loved to sing and dance, and they sincerely invited Zhu Yuanyuan to Beijing to receive more professional dance studies.
But the father was the first to object, he felt that his daughter was still young, and the most important thing at the moment was to study, let her finish her studies well, and those dances and performances were somewhat unrealistic.
After listening to her father's meaning, her mother, who was originally very supportive, was also shaken, and in this way, at the insistence of her parents, Zhu Yuanyuan could only reluctantly say goodbye to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.
Looking at their daughter's lost expression, the parents were also a little distressed.
In 1990, just after graduating from junior high school, Zhu Yuanyuan couldn't wait to go to Qingdao Art School to study music, and this time, her father finally didn't stop her.
In this way, Zhu Yuanyuan took the first step of her dream as she wished, she learned professional singing knowledge, danced professional dance steps, and sometimes hosted two sentences on stage, a living artistic all-rounder.
After graduation, Zhu Yuanyuan, who was excellent in all aspects, became the object of competition in various units, and threw olive branches to her, hoping to attract her to his subordinates.
In the end, her parents helped her choose the most stable career, that is, a music teacher, which is probably the most solid and reliable iron rice bowl for the older generation.
But Zhu Yuanyuan didn't think so, she only interned in school for two months, and she said that she would not do anything, not only that, but she also secretly hid the registration card issued to her by the Education Bureau.
When it was time to turn right, my father was happily waiting for Zhu Yuanyuan's report on the conversion, but Zhu Yuanyuan said with a straight face:
I don't want to be a teacher, I want to go to Beijing to take the art troupe.
When my father heard this, he immediately said angrily:
You put a good iron rice bowl and don't dry, what kind of art troupe to examine, and what if you can't pass the exam, in the end, even the teacher can't be a teacher.
When Zhu Yuanyuan heard this, she was also worried in her heart, she was just impulsive at that time, and she didn't think about what she could do if she couldn't pass the exam.
Looking at Zhu Yuanyuan's embarrassed appearance, her mother said softly:
Let the child try it, after all, I like art for so many years, I can't accompany her.
In this way, Zhu Yuanyuan, accompanied by her mother, came to Beijing and opened her own artistic path.
03
After arriving in Beijing, in order to be on the safe side, she signed up for many song and dance troupes in one breath, but the ending was not ideal, the huge Beijing city, so many song and dance troupes, none of them opened their doors to her.
At this time, Zhu Yuanyuan was even more disappointed, and she even began to doubt whether she should listen to her father and be a music teacher at home.
Just when she was disheartened and disappointed, she learned that Teacher Li Guyi had just created a Chinese light music troupe and was recruiting dancers, she hurriedly went to sign up and was successfully admitted.
At this time, Zhu Yuanyuan just wanted to stay in Beijing, she didn't care what music troupe the other party was, as long as it was related to art, she wanted to squeeze in and try, even if the art troupe did not provide her with accommodation and preparation.
At first, when the mother heard that there was no preparation, she was still reluctant in her heart, but seeing her daughter's happy appearance, she no longer cares.
But after all, Zhu Yuanyuan left home for the first time, and her mother's heart was still very uneasy, so, to be on the safe side, her mother specially took Zhu Yuanyuan to visit her cousin, who was a teacher at the Central Academy of Drama.
If it weren't for the hard work in Beijing, probably Zhu Yuanyuan would never know that she had a cousin she had never met in Chinese opera, but it was this meeting that made Zhu Yuanyuan really take the first step to become an actress.
After chatting with her cousin, Zhu Yuanyuan learned that the dancer's career is very short, simply put, it is to eat youth rice.
The cousin suggested that she consider studying acting, thinking that she had a dream of becoming an actress when she was a child, Zhu Yuanyuan happily followed her cousin's advice and decided to go to an art college.
In this way, Zhu Yuanyuan signed up for Nortel and Chinese opera, and even the Shanghai Theater Academy, she ran over to take an exam.
With solid dance skills, the three schools have thrown olive branches to her, but Zhu Yuanyuan already has a plan in her heart, she wants to stay in Chinese opera, because her idol Gong Li walked out of this school.
What surprised her even more was that after arriving at the Chinese opera, her homeroom teacher was Gao Jingwen, a senior professor who had taught Gong Li back then, and this fate made Zhu Yuanyuan more determined in her ideas.
04
In 1993, Zhu Yuanyuan, who wore two big thick braided braids and often had a sweet smile on her face, became a student of Chinese opera as she wished.
On the same day of the same year, there was another boy with a straight appearance, cold and wooden, and like her, he confidently walked into the Central Academy of Drama, still in the same classroom, he was Xin Baiqing.
Xin Baiqing's original dream was not an actor, one meter eight three, he wanted to become a national athlete since he was a child, but unfortunately, his height is still a little worse for professional high jump.
In desperation, Xin Baiqing could only run to the Chinese opera to try his luck at the suggestion of his friend, and the result was just as his friend thought, a straight and handsome face was doomed to him to eat the actor's bowl of rice.
In this way, under the arrangement of fate, the lives of Zhu Yuanyuan and Xin Baiqing intersected, and then the scene at the beginning of the article appeared.
Zhu Yuanyuan, who is in Chinese opera, has the same lively and cheerful personality, grinning, and is particularly popular, including Li Naiwen, Wang Qianyuan and many other male classmates.
In Zhu Yuanyuan's eyes, almost all the male classmates in the class are her good buddies, and they are playful and playful, which is nothing at all, but this is completely different for Xin Baiqing, who has always disliked to express himself.
Watching the beloved girl mingle with a group of boys all day, the vinegar jar in Xin Baiqing's heart has already turned over, so in order to let everyone know that Zhu Yuanyuan is famous and has a master, Xin Baiqing thought of a way.
He specially pulled Li Naiwen and asked:
What do you think of Yuanyuan?
When Li Naiwen heard this, he immediately said with a twinkle in his eyes:
Well, of course it's good, what do you mean?
Xin Baiqing listened, so he quickly added a sentence:
I like Yuanyuan.
Similar conversations, Xin Baiqing basically said to all the boys in the class, this trick is really smart.
Since then, Xin Baiqing's liking for Zhu Yuanyuan has become more blatant, accompanying her to dinner, and washing her clothes in the boys' dormitory without scruples.
In addition to the girls' bathhouse, Zhu Yuanyuan can see Xin Baiqing wherever she appears.
Not only that, when Zhu Yuanyuan went out to audition, Xin Baiqing could even stay awake all night, just so that she could not delay sending Zhu Yuanyuan to the audition in the morning.
Their relationship is really envious of others at school, but it is different when it reaches the ears of the teachers, who are worried that their relationship will affect their studies, so they strongly persuade the two to break up.
At that time, Zhu Yuanyuan also felt that the teacher's words were very correct, so she cried and proposed to Xin Baiqing to break up, but where did she know that after the breakup, she washed her face with tears all day.
At that time, Xin Baiqing was not very good, because of the breakup, he couldn't sleep all night long, and in the end, he was more emotional than rational and ran to find Zhu Yuanyuan to get back together.
05
Because of this breakup, the two cherished their feelings for each other more, and at that time, Zhu Yuanyuan's acting career came earlier than Xin Baiqing.
In her sophomore year, she starred in "Chicken Feathers in a Place" starring Chen Daoming and Xu Fan, although she played only a little nanny in the play, but this is also officially stepping into the entertainment industry.
After graduation, the two were admitted to the National Theater together, and their relationship has never wavered from classmates to colleagues.
During the period, Xin Baiqing also proposed, but Zhu Yuanyuan felt that they were now more suitable for their careers.
After listening to Zhu Yuanyuan's words, Xin Baiqing worked harder, but because the appearance conditions were too righteous, the directors said that he could only play a good person, and the acting path was too narrow, but Zhu Yuanyuan was much better than him.
In 1998, a film "The Happy Life of Poor Mouth Zhang Damin" made the fledgling Zhu Yuanyuan win the Golden Eagle Award for the audience's favorite actress in one fell swoop.
With the blessing of this award, Zhu Yuanyuan's interpretation career can be said to have been a long way, from "Sun Yat-sen" to "Romantic Affairs" and so on, Zhu Yuanyuan has become a celebrity on the screen.
At that time, Xin Baiqing, who could not find a scene all day, was addicted to online games because he was depressed and bored, but when there was no drama in the theater, he went to his home to play games.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanyuan inevitably had to nag a few words, several times three times, Xin Baiqing couldn't stand it, and after the two quarreled, Xin Baiqing picked up the TV and was about to smash it.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanyuan directly stopped and warned:
You can smash anything, you just can't smash the TV.
Seeing Zhu Yuanyuan blocking strongly, the angry Xin Baiqing smashed the door with a punch, and the innocent door was directly smashed into a big hole.
Because of this incident, Xin Baiqing was scolded by her mother for being bloody, and in the eyes of Xin Baiqing's mother, Zhu Yuanyuan is like her own daughter, and the two have always gotten along very well.
Fortunately, Xin Baiqing realized his mistake in time and assured Zhu Yuanyuan that he would never be so violent in the future, let alone indulge in online games.
After watching Xin Baiqing quit her Internet addiction, Zhu Yuanyuan finally put the wedding of the two on the agenda.
In 2006, there was no grand wedding or expensive diamond ring, and Zhu Yuanyuan married herself to Xin Baiqing in a low-key manner with the blessing of relatives and friends.
I have to say that Zhu Yuanyuan is really good at the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she often greeted Xin Baiqing's parents before marriage, and after marriage, she even held her in-laws to the sky.
Every New Year's Festival, as long as she buys things for her mother, she has never left her in-laws behind, and even sometimes, Xin Baiqing eats her parents' vinegar, because they always stand on the same front, completely forgetting that they are their own sons.
That being said, Xin Baiqing still stole happiness in her heart, after all, she married such a kind and sensible daughter-in-law as Zhu Yuanyuan, in exchange for their such a warm and happy family.
06
In 2008, Zhu Yuanyuan was pregnant, but at this time I received a call from director Jiang Wei, in which Jiang Wei said that he had tailored a role for Zhu Yuanyuan, that is, "Cuiping" in "Lurking".
After listening to it, Zhu Yuanyuan read the script overnight and immediately decided to make this drama, but Xin Baiqing resolutely disagreed, because there are a lot of action scenes in this play, and Zhu Yuanyuan was just pregnant at this time, the fetus was not very stable, he absolutely could not let his wife and children take risks.
In the end, Zhu Yuanyuan could only watch such a good role fall into Yao Chen's hands, and when "Lurking" was broadcast, Zhu Yuanyuan gave birth to a lovely daughter.
Looking at the actors who became popular with this drama, Zhu Yuanyuan was very open, and she said in the face of the media:
If it were me and Xin Baiqing, maybe it would not be so popular.
A simple sentence directly avoids all embarrassment, in fact, the acting skills of Zhu Yuanyuan and Xin Baiqing are also obvious to everyone, but after marriage, Zhu Yuanyuan has become a veritable good wife and mother.
After having a child, Zhu Yuanyuan threw herself on the child, as if she had forgotten her identity as an actor, and since filming "Little Parting" with Huang Lei and Haiqing, she "disappeared" on the screen.
Until her child enters junior high school, she will take advantage of her child's summer vacation to go out to shoot two dramas, but it is the scenes she has taken the time to shoot that have allowed her to win film awards one after another.
In 2020, "Send You a Little Red Flower" starring Zhu Yuanyuan with Yi Yangqianxi and Liu Haocun undoubtedly became one of the most popular works of the year.
Zhu Yuanyuan in the play plays Yi Yangqianxi's mother, a kind woman who saves money to treat her son's illness, but is willing to pay a hundred yuan to beggars.
This year, Zhu Yuanyuan not only earned enough tears from the audience, but also accumulated a lot of popularity, so she successfully won the 18th Film Channel Media Awards "Most Media Attention Supporting Actress Award".
In 2021, "My Sister" starring Zhu Yuanyuan and Zhang Zifeng once again shocked everyone, especially the action of licking the coffee cup in the play, which is said to be an action that he inadvertently added, but it is such an action that adds a bit of truth and naturalness to the market aunt in the play.
This film won her the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award and the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award "Double Material" Best Supporting Actress Award.
Zhu Yuanyuan's superb acting skills have long been obvious to everyone, even if there are no lines, her one expression and one look can interpret the role to the fullest.
What is even more admirable is that her behavior is a model in the entertainment industry, low-key and introverted and enthusiastic and generous, and the kindness and simplicity in her bones are overflowing with words.
epilogue
Now Zhu Yuanyuan is 48 years old, from a girl with dreams to a star who has become famous now, Zhu Yuanyuan has never shaken her heart, her career and her love, as well as marriage, have not ended since the beginning.
Zhu Yuanyuan and her lover Xin Baiqing have been in love for 29 years and have been married for 16 years, unlike the complex relationship between other celebrity couples in the entertainment industry, the two of them have not had any scandals, which is probably where all star artists should learn, enough to make half of the stars in the entertainment industry feel ashamed.
Throughout Zhu Yuanyuan's single-minded love history, she decided her fate from the beginning, from the beginning to the end, holding hands is a lifetime, which is her original intention that has never changed.
In this world, there is a kind of happiness called companionship, and there is a sweetness called plain, when everything disappears into the dust and prosperity is exhausted, the end of happiness can be seen.
