"Like a cage of hot buns, as soon as you open the lid, it slowly cools."
This is Zhang Xiaofei's best description of himself.
In 2021, relying on the halo of "Li Huanying", she walked on the podium of the Golden Rooster Award and held the trophy of the queen.
Since then, the scenery has been endless.
From an eighteen-tier actor who no one cared about, he became the top overnight. Fans skyrocketed, endorsements were held, and expensive luxury dresses were worn.
It is a pity that even if he reached the top overnight, Zhang Xiaofei did not get out of the curse of "buns". After Li Huanying, she seemed to gradually fall silent.
The works, traffic, and resources all seem to bypass her, and after she opened the lid of this cage of buns, she finally failed to escape the fate of "cool".
Especially in the 2023 Spring Festival, there is also a new movie "Exchange Life" released, which is almost automatically ignored by the audience.
Zhang Xiaofei and Lei Jiayin, the Golden Rooster Shadow Queen and the Golden Eagle Vision Emperor, why is it not working?
From "Beiying Pride" to sketch actor, from Golden Rooster Movie Queen to "No such person", Zhang Xiaofei's "dumb fire", is it lucky or sad?
The price of a broken cauldron
High heels, long legs, blind date mad demon Zhang Xiaofei.
Before becoming "Li Huanying", this is one of the most appropriate descriptions of Zhang Xiaofei by netizens.
On the stage of the sketch, she played the "blind date girl" countless times, but behind the laughter she brought to the audience every time was the pain of her ten years of struggle and no one cared about.
He began to learn dance at the age of 5, entered the dance department of the Central University for Nationalities at the age of 11, and was admitted to the Cultural Troupe of the Political Department of the Armed Police Headquarters at the age of 15. Before becoming an adult, she had kept her "iron rice bowl".
Dance, not a love, but the cultivation of her parents, she did not resist, so she persevered. For a long time, she could almost see what retirement looked like.
But it was also here that she met something she really liked, acting.
Every time he saw his classmates rehearsing the program in the literary troupe, he was happy, angry and sad, and Zhang Xiaofei always cast envious eyes. How beautiful it is to be able to interpret the life of sorrow and joy!
It was also her first attempt at "rebellion".
It's just that the time for this rebellion was planned for a full 4 years.
Because for her, if she wants to change careers, it is tantamount to a "broken cauldron" in life. She didn't know what the price was, or whether it was worth it.
At the age of 19, Zhang Xiaofei finally decided to abandon dance and enter the Beijing Film Academy, becoming classmates with Yang Mi, Yuan Shanshan, Jiao Junyan and others.
In Hokage, she continued her serious and hard life, becoming an "honor student" among her classmates.
"If there is anything that will not be known, you don't need to find the teacher, just look for Xiaofei directly, she knows everything." This is the best evaluation of her classmates.
In her sophomore year, she starred in the war movie "Beacon Years" and officially began her acting career.
However, the movie was a splash, and "female number one" Zhang Xiaofei did not become famous in a battle. But at this time, Yang Mi, who was in the same class, had already finished playing "Guo Xiang" and also played "Wang Zhaojun", one of the four beauties.
Before graduation, Zhang Xiaofei starred in the movie "Shakespeare of the Big Pie", in which he played the female college student "Zhang Ran". Of course, it didn't get much success.
But no matter what, Zhang Xiaofei at the time of graduation, holding the two trump cards of starring and works, still left the school with the first place and became one of the most promising students in the eyes of the teacher.
But her luck always seems to be insufficient.
Bully you still have to look at the days?
After graduation, acting in one pounce and no drama is the norm of life. Like most Beipiao, she lived in the basement and ate overnight leftovers.
At its hardest, she could barely remember when she had eaten her last meal.
At this time, her classmate Yang Mi had become the first candidate for ancient puppet dramas with "Palace" and "Immortal Sword III"; Yuan Shanshan also became angry because of Yu Zheng.
Without connections and average appearance, Zhang Xiaofei's road to the north drift is difficult. When she was helpless, someone suggested that she go to the China Broadcasting Art Troupe to at least live.
In this way, actor Zhang Xiaofei became a host, and it was also here that she met the nobles of life, Feng Gong and Jia Ling.
At this time, Jia Ling has already been on the Spring Festival Gala and has become a famous comedian.
When rehearsing the sketch "Woman to the Nth Power", she found Zhang Xiaofei: I have a role that needs people, do you come?
Hearing Jia Ling's invitation, Zhang Xiaofei agreed without saying a word!
Acting, as long as you can perform on stage, what comedy tragedy!
In this way, Zhang Xiaofei became Jia Ling's "royal green leaf" and became "the good-looking and open" comedian on the stage.
Until 2015, Feng Gong took her to a bigger stage: the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
On the stage, she turned into Feng Gong's "little cotton jacket" and performed a ridiculous family story. Also this time someone finally wants to know:
Who is this girl in pink?
Later, she and Jia Ling went on "Happy Comedian" together, dressed ugly and beautiful, blind date crazy, and everyone finally remembered her name, Zhang Xiaofei.
But at the same time, the identity bound to her also became a comedian.
And this identity brings laughter to the audience, but also brings her infinite distress.
There has always been an unwritten chain of disdain in show business: drama> movies> TV series> comedy.
Similarly, film and television actors also look down on sketches and comedians.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaofei appeared on the stage of "I am an Actor", and she said her manifesto, famous for her comedy:
Hopefully take off the comedy label from me.
However, what awaits her is not a good road, but unfair treatment.
Du Chun said: I really didn't expect to see a comedian on this stage. Faced with doubts, Zhang Xiaofei smiled. And Sun Qian's approach made her "unable to laugh".
Because she once played "Aunt Ji Xi" in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Sun Qian is one level higher than Zhang Xiaofei in terms of acting skills and popularity.
Therefore, when the two were divided into a group, Sun Qian began to change it as soon as she got the script, turning the script into what she was better at. During this period, Zhang Xiaofei's rehearsal requests were ignored several times.
After being angry and crying countless times, Zhang Xiaofei still didn't know what his lines had been changed to.
The performance ended, Sun Qian advanced, Zhang Xiaofei was eliminated, and the expected ending.
And encountering this unfair treatment, long before becoming a comedian, Zhang Xiaofei had a deep experience.
When running the crew, because there was no masterpiece, her appearance was not amazing, and she was once disliked by the producer in person:
Don't you think you look a little problematic?
A girl was said to have a problem with her appearance, and her self-esteem and confidence were almost crushed.
I finally had the opportunity to act, but because of the crew's operational error, the explosives exploded in advance. Seriously injured, she not only did not receive comfort, but was scolded by the props group:
Will you move or not? If you can't act, just go!
It is also because of this incident that my friend Jia Ling is distressed: Little actor, life is really cheap, hurry up and become popular!
However, before she became popular, she was bullied by even more popular people, such as her old classmate Yuan Shanshan.
In a variety show, Yuan Shanshan took advantage of Zhang Xiaofei's absence to discuss a privacy issue with the two male stars: Zhang Xiaofei would snore.
Not to mention whether the snoring is true or not, it is very impolite to disclose the privacy of others. What's more, the other party is still an unmarried public figure.
When Zhang Xiaofei came out, looking at the malicious looks of the people around him, he was unable to justify, and could only declare loudly on Weibo: I really don't snore.
Of course, it provoked Yuan Shanshan's sneer.
It is a fact that Zhang Xiaofei is distressed, and it is also a fact that Yuan Shanshan has improved his topicality by relying on "black and red", and who is the winner can be seen at a glance.
Actor Huang Bo once said that after you become red, you are surrounded by good people, and your words are full of kindness.
And the previous cold words and unfair treatment, Zhang Xiaofei's experience is no less than Huang Bo. But after becoming red, Zhang Xiaofei failed to soar into the sky like Huang Bo.
The "joke" of the queen
In 2016, Jia Ling founded Dabowl Entertainment, and Zhang Xiaofei naturally became its first artist.
Jia Ling said, I know that you are about to become popular, so hurry up and keep you.
But Zhang Xiaofei knew that this was a backstage given to him by a good friend, a mother's family, and this fat girl was holding an umbrella for herself.
On the comedy stage, Jia Ling always has Zhang Xiaofei by her side. From the local to CCTV, from the draft to the Spring Festival Gala, it is inseparable.
Until one day, Jia Ling suddenly wanted to "change careers" and wanted to make a movie commemorating her mother.
After interviewing countless actresses without clapping, everyone suddenly realized: in her heart, she has long chosen the female number one, and it can only be Zhang Xiaofei.
So, in the Spring Festival file of 2021, Zhang Xiaofei became "Li Huanying", crying and laughing on the screen, causing crying in the audience.
After that, she is finally no longer the girl next to Jia Ling, she is the "mother" Zhang Xiaofei in the hearts of countless people.
After winning more than 5 billion at the box office, she finally put on a high-luxury dress, carried the hem of her skirt, and walked onto the stage of glory that belongs to filmmakers alone.
Holding the Golden Rooster Trophy, she smiled brightly and radiated. She said: "I have been preparing for this day for 10 years.
Ten years of dragon set no one knows, once the film queen the world knows.
Holding the trophy, she is full of spirit and has unlimited expectations for the future:
I hope you don't just see this side of me as a mother, but I have a lot more to do and a lot of work that I want to try.
In the next year, there will be a variety show, a movie, and a TV series.
Her eyes were shining, and it seemed that there were really infinite possibilities, but this was not enough for her.
Soon after winning the film, she signed her business sector to Hesong Media and became Zhao Liying's colleague.
This also means that she is one step closer to the entertainment industry.
But close to the entertainment industry, Zhang Xiaofei's awkwardness has also been committed.
When other idols drove the topic again and again by relying on offline activities such as assistance and pick-up, Zhang Xiaofei quietly disbanded his fan group.
This means that she doesn't want to go the same way. But it also means that she owns the traffic, but does not take advantage of it.
Sure enough, after experiencing the explosion of popularity, Zhang Xiaofei soon ushered in his own "dumb fire".
Although she received large and small endorsements and appeared on the cover of magazines, none of the variety shows, TV series, and movies she said came as promised within a year.
Fans waited and waited, did not wait for the good works of "our mother", waited for her "coolness", and waited for her torrent to retreat.
It was not until Li Huanying two years later that her new work "Exchange of Life" was launched, but the popularity was far less than that of "Manjiang Red" and "The Wandering Earth 2" in the same period.
It became the only Spring Festival movie with a score lower than 6 points.
Editing is one thing, acting is another.
Zhang Xiaofei has acting skills, but not to the point of applause. Similarly, she is indeed beautiful, but she is not outstanding in the entertainment industry.
At 35, she was on fire. Embarrassing age.
did not experience the battle for resources of the 85 flowers, and there was no grinding precipitation in the main drama. Behind the sky, there is emptiness.
Therefore, as she moves farther and farther away from the circle, more voices are "congratulations".
Epilogue:
Congratulations, retained decency at the peak, turned gracefully.
Congratulations, without the corrosion of the flow, the aura of "mother" is used to be disgusting.
Congratulations, engrave the pinnacle into the most beautiful time.
