Ten years ago, she was the "first beauty of Douban", and she can be called the godmother of ordinary Internet celebrities.
Ten years later, in the era of frequent Internet celebrities, she was 30 years old and experienced popularity, blackmail, troughs, etc., from an Internet celebrity who was popular all over the Internet to a treasure shop owner who bought clothes.
How is Zhang Xinyuan, the iconic figure of today's first generation of Internet celebrities, living in the end?
In 2008, when young people were active in online communities such as Douban, a group of photo photos taken in the Maldives came out, surprising countless netizens. The plain girl in the photo is full of fairy spirit, under the blue sea and blue sky, long hair fluttering, retro makeup dress, beautiful face, suddenly attracted people's attention. The girl in the photo, Zhang Xinyuan, also became popular overnight.
Before that, she was just an ordinary college student, and when she went on vacation with her mother in the Maldives, her mother took this group of photos for her, because her friends said they looked good, she posted it in her photo album, and she did not expect to become a celebrity in an instant.
After the "Maldives" series of photos caught fire, Zhang Xinyuan continued to upload her own photo photos, in which she wore retro costumes and was also retro in makeup: white face and red lips, two thick eyebrows, and black and long hair, establishing her own characteristics. At that time, "Zhang Xinyuan same style" and "Zhang Xinyuan retro eyebrow makeup" once became the object of many girls to emulate.
One after another photo brushed the Internet, Zhang Xinyuan's photo has even become the network avatar of many people, and she has also been crowned by netizens as "Douban Goddess" and "Douban First Beauty".
There is a feeling of Cecilia Cheung between the eyebrows, and it is a bit like Liu Yifei:
However, after the explosion, questioning and attacks followed.
She became popular because of the photos, and the most blackened became her appearance. Many netizens questioned that her photos have undergone serious ps, completely distorted, and the difference between the photos and herself is too large, which can be called "seeing the light and dying".
Many netizens released real people's comparison photos, and also pulled out her appearance before she became famous - she was once a fat girl who weighed 140 pounds, which was not a person at all as in the photo!
In addition to the PS being questioned, Zhang Xinyuan's makeup and dress also once encountered the evaluation of ice and fire. Admirers continue to follow suit, and many netizens think that her face is too white, her eyebrows are too thick, and "the makeup is too exaggerated, like a crayon xiaoxin." ”
However, Zhang Xinyuan did not care much about these doubts. She once generously said that she was once very fat when she was a student, and after trying to lose weight, she finally lost weight and became what she is now. She also admitted that her photos were all ps, she said: "When I was in PS photos, I knew very well that it was a glorified image because every leg hair of her legs was trimmed by me. I never felt like I was the one who created it. She may be a part of me, but not all of me, and I never felt like she was all of me. ”
After the popularity of online photography, Zhang Xinyuan also received many invitations from film and television dramas. In 2015, she starred in the movie "All the Way Surprise" starring Guo Caijie and Zhao Liying, and the actors at that time ranked in front of Kan Qingzi, who is now very popular.
Zhang Xinyuan also once tried to develop towards the actor's road, but the transformation from an Internet celebrity to an actor was not smooth.
Subsequently, she participated in many film and television dramas, partnering with the 4000-year-old beauty Ju Jingyi, but they were all small roles in the play, and the rating of the work was not a pass.
Zhang Xinyuan's acting skills have been questioned: the tragic white face, the godless beauty pupils, perhaps in the flat photo after ps processing can become a unique beauty, but in the dynamic picture will be exposed.
When I participated in the publicity campaign, I was also photographed with a very different style and a very different picture.
After a few "seeing the light die", the network's evaluation of her gradually began to decline. Although there are still many loyal iron fans, Zhang Xinyuan has gradually been ridiculed as a "mother god" from "the first beauty of Douban", and the exposure and popularity have also declined.
On the other hand, every day there are new Internet celebrities appearing to seize people's vision. In contrast, many post-95 and post-00 netizens have long been unaware of the name of this first-generation Internet celebrity.
Zhang Xinyuan, who was born in 1988, is 30 years old this year, and after the light dimmed ten years ago, she returned to the Internet, became a beauty blogger, and opened her own clothing store.
At the end of 2016, Zhang Xinyuan began to run her own clothing store, selling "Zhang Xinyuan same style", although the popularity has not been ten years ago, but she still broke the turnover of one million on the day of opening the store, laughing that she became an entrepreneurial woman.
Looking at zhang Xinyuan's dynamics now, she still often posts photos, and she still maintains the style of that year, with white face and red lips and long hair, but without the exaggerated thick eyebrows of the year, the whole person is light a lot.
More time, she shares beauty and skin care tips, promotes her store, and is a conscientious beauty blogger and clothing store owner.
She herself said: "I know myself more and more, clearly understand what I want, what I don't want, how I should want it; I can have a stable repair power in the face of career, money, and emotional turmoil." In the process, you will become more and more self-consistent, will always know yourself clearly, fully accept yourself, and become more and more powerful. ”
