On October 3, 2021, the Internet rumored that Zhou Jie, a famous dance artist and actor in China, passed away, and the author could not believe it at the first time, after all, she was not old in people's impressions and has been in a good state.
The author has been waiting for the news of "misinformation", but on October 4, Liu Xiaoqing sent a message to mourn Zhou Jie, completely destroying the last bit of illusion.
Liu Xiaoqing worked with Zhou Jie in "Burning the Yuanmingyuan" and "Hanging Curtains to Listen to the Government", Liu Xiaoqing played Cixi, Zhou Jie played Lifei, although Lifei was killed by Cixi in the film, but during the filming process, they both lived in a dormitory with only two beds with Chen Ye, who played Ci'an. Three people share happiness and hardships, who shoots the scene who sleeps, who rests and who makes the floor, and has since formed a deep friendship.
Liu Xiaoqing also released a photo of her going to the United States to meet Chen Ye and Zhou Jie a few years ago, and from the photos, it can be seen that the three people are in a very good state, who can think that Zhou Jie at that time was already deeply affected by lung cancer.
Zhou Jie's birthplace, Shanghai Fengxian local official Wei wei also released a memorial article, but also announced the specific circumstances of Zhou Jie's death, she has returned to Shanghai from Houston, the United States, during the isolation period of deterioration of the condition unfortunately died, not some media said that the guest died in a foreign country.
Speaking of the media, there are still some people waiting for Venus to post, for two reasons, on the one hand, Liu Xiaoqing is a common friend of Venus and Zhou Jie, and Venus and Zhou Jie, who want to come as peers and are well-known in the dance world, must also know or even be familiar.
On the other hand, the media likes the gossip mentality, because Venus once satirized a big star who had worked with him on the Spring Festival Gala stage (at that time) in the talk show, and he choreographed the big star to lead the dance. According to Venus' description, the audience easily found the dance show on the spring evening of 1995, and the lead dancer was indeed a big star, Zhou Jie.
One of the important reasons why Venus remembered Zhou Jie at that time was that Zhou Jie at that time was really too red and too beautiful.
Let's put it this way, in the early 1990s, Zhou Jie was a famous beautiful actress and dancer in China, and the title of "Oriental Beauty God" was not a false name.
And Zhou Jie's most beautiful moments, the most beautiful dance posture and the best acting skills were all left in a TV series and a movie in the early nineties, "Tang Ming Huang" and "Yang Guifei".
What many people don't know is that the TV series "Tang Minghuang" and the movie "Yang Guifei" are the products of the film and television set shooting model, and the two works share a creative team, such as the director is Chen Jialin, and the costume design is Li Jianqun.
At the same time, the two works share a team of actors, such as Wu Huifei (Li Jianqun), Lady Yu Guo (Liao Xueqiu), Gao Lishi (Li Ruping), and Li Bai (Shi Weijian), all of whom performed across the same cast.
But in the choice of starring Yang Yuhuan, director Chen Jialin used Lin Fangbing in the TV series, and chose Zhou Jie in the movie.
Zhou Jie is one of the few actors who has starred in both works.
In "Emperor Tang Ming", Zhou Jie played the girl Li Longji knew when he was degraded, and later Zhao Lifei, who was later crowned a concubine, in the play, Yang Yuhuan married Li Mao, the king of Shou, a few years after zhao Lifei's death, so the role of Zhao Lifei and Yang Yuhuan did not conflict in time, and Zhou Jie was able to complete the role of Zhao Lifei and bury her head in the role of Yang Yuhuan in the movie "Yang Guifei".
The same Yang Yuhuan made Lin Fangbing and Zhou Jie gain dozens of pounds for a short period of time, which was a great burden for both actors, and it was undoubtedly more troublesome for Zhou Jie, who was engaged in dance performances.
Being able to play an important role in both dramas shows director Chen Jialin's preference for Zhou Jie, and this preference is also due to Zhou Jie's strength, especially the role of Zhao Lifei, in addition to Zhou Jie, the domestic film and television industry in addition to Zhou Jie, I am afraid it is difficult to have any more actresses to pick up.
To put it this way, the author believes that the peak work of Sheng Tang dance in domestic film and television dramas should be the TV series "Tang Ming Huang", and the representative figure of this is undoubtedly Zhou Jie, who plays Zhao Lifei, and Zhou Jie has presented amazing dance masterpieces for Li Longji and the audience in the play.
The first dance was Zhao Lifei's first meeting with Li Longji, at that time Li Longji was being demoted to Luzhou's other driver, in this small place Li Longji met the Zhao family who was good at dancing, she danced two dances for Li Longji, and the second dance" "March Girl's Grudge" finally charmed Li Longji, and he accepted Zhao as a side room.
After Li Longji took the throne, he made Zhao a concubine and favored her exclusively, and at the palace night banquet, Zhao Lifei danced two dances for Li Longji, the first was the famous "Green Waist Dance", and the second was the "HuXuan Dance" danced with Li Longji.
The cheerful dance steps and fiery atmosphere are exactly the portrayal of Zhao Lifei and Li Longji's deep affection.
When Li Longji transferred his affection and began to favor the newly entered Wu Yun'er, who was later Wu Huifei, his mind was no longer on Zhao Lifei, the same palace feast, facing the same Li Longji, Zhao Lifei danced a song "Jade Ladder Grievance", although beautiful but poignant, Wu Yun'er's uncomfortable sentence pulled away Li Longji, and also made the atmosphere of this dance more poignant.
The last dance is still "March Grudge", but when zhao Lifei and Li Longji danced this dance, they saw each other for the first time, and when they danced again at this time, they were never goodbye.
Zhao Lifei, who was already terminally ill, heard that Li Longji had come to visit her, and she dragged her body from the sickbed to redo her makeup, leaving her best side to the most beloved man.
Zhao Lifei shone the last light in the last dance of her life, which is probably the most intoxicating and heartbreaking dance in China's costume drama.
When Zhao Lifei vomited blood and fell to the ground, someone used "cuckoo crying blood" to describe her state at this time.
I have to say that Zhao Lifei, no, it should be Zhou Jie, the Zhao Lifei she plays and the dances she dances, it is difficult to find a second person who can match it in China's film and television field.
What is valuable is that as a dancer, Zhou Jie's acting skills in "Tang Ming Huang" are also convincing.
Thanks to the screenwriter's gift, he adapted the history, so that Zhao Lifei's son Li Ying was made crown prince on the day of her death, and Zhao Lifei heard the drum music of her son being crowned prince on her deathbed, and she died in joy and relief.
Zhou Jie's acting skills at this time are so wonderful that people can't help but be moved.
In the movie "Yang Guifei", Zhou Jie still gave full play to her good dance characteristics, and dedicated the beautiful "Neon Dress Feather Dance" and other dances, but due to the difference between Yang Yuhuan and Zhao Lifei, Zhou Jie was mainly responsible for beauty in the movie, and did not fully exert all her charm like in "Tang Ming Huang".
After Zhou Jie's death, many media called her "the most beautiful Yang Guifei", which caused some netizens to question, after all, Lin Fangbing's Yang Guifei seems to be more well-known.
In fact, Zhou Jie and Lin Fangbing's Yang Guifei have their own advantages in appearance, and their performances are no problem, and Lin Fangbing, who is from the class, may be slightly better in the details of the performance. However, although it is a film and television set, the influence of the movie "Yang Guifei" is far less than that of the TV series "Tang Minghuang", which also makes Zhou Jie's Yang Guifei not as well-known as Lin Fangbing's version.
However, as mentioned above, Zhou Jie can play Yang Guifei well, Lin Fangbing is also no problem, other actors can of course, but the role of Zhao Lifei, almost no one can replace Zhou Jie.
The Slovaks are gone, and the classics are long gone.
The most beautiful Zhou Jie and her most beautiful Tang dance are left in "Yang Guifei" and "Tang MingHuang", which is fortunate for the audience.
