In 1988, at the age of 11, Yuan Quan was admitted to Beijing by the Affiliated High School of the China Academy of Performing Arts, accompanied by Zeng Li, a 12-year-old fellow from Jingzhou. At that time, neither of them thought that what would be a dangerous road waiting for them in front of them.
Yuan Quan's father is a table tennis coach and his mother is a primary school teacher, with an average family background but very harmonious. Before leaving his hometown and entering Beijing, Yuan Quan once put the 6 yuan he usually saved in a dime into his sister's drawer and left a note:
"Sister, this is the pocket money I usually accumulate, when I get to Beijing, I will pay attention to saving, do not spend money indiscriminately, this little money will be left for you to use."
Because of his young age, he felt lonely when he left his hometown, and the moment he stepped on the train, although Yuan Quan knew that life had opened a new stage, deep inside, he still felt that a door was closed.
Children do not understand the sophistication, because of reporting classmates cheating, 11-year-old Yuan Quan was collectively isolated, and then 7 years later, the main communication object was the parents, the communication method was to write letters, a total of 297 family letters were written, but the water could not quench the near thirst.
Every time she comes home from vacation, Yuan Quan will suffer from "packing phobia", and when she sees her parents sealing their luggage with plastic sheets, she will feel nervous a week in advance...
Later, in order to concentrate on his studies, Yuan Quan cut off his long hair and went to practice morning exercises at six o'clock every day in the cold winter of goose feather snow. Because the legs are too long, the tip of the toe can never reach the brain gate, but sticks out a large section of the top of the head, like a praying mantis holding its front foot high.
Yuan Quan has worked this, and she wrote to her parents, Tell you, my legs are only as far away as the two fingers that stand upright from my head, and I am trying to stick them on November 20. ”
However, in the end, she still did not "stick" - she injured her right leg hard, and her toes were still two index fingers away from the brain gate... The teacher finally realized that this was a physical defect and no longer demanded it.
By the age of fourteen or fifteen, the classmates all began to fall in love, and they fell in love without understanding, and Yuan Quan only had the share of envy, because he was too thin, and he also got a nickname of "match".
When her peers were busy having fun, she traveled in the ocean of books, idolized Lin Daiyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber", and read different versions of "Jane Eyre" hundreds of times.
At this time, a "bad boy" who will have an important intersection with Yuan Quan in the future took the lead in waiting for the gift of fate.
Two
In 1992, 16-year-old Xia Yu was studying in high school in Qingdao, and suddenly one day, Jiang Wen's crew recruited small actors, asking for Xia's father, who looked like him and was engaged in literary and artistic work, and sent his son's photo to the crew.
As a result, Jiang Wen was very satisfied with Xia Yu and quickly made a decision.
Later, when Xia Yu was young, he won the "Venice Film Emperor", "Golden Horse Film Emperor" and "Singapore International Film Festival Film Emperor" with his first film "Sunny Day", and took the Chinese opera examination along the water and embarked on the road of performance.
In 1996, 19-year-old Yuan Quan watched the drama "Ruan Lingyu" starring Xu Fan and decided to switch to drama schools, applying for both Chinese opera and Nortel.
Chang Li, the recruiting teacher of Chinese opera, heard that the head of Nortel's acting department liked Yuan Quan very much and wanted to leave her, so she invited Yuan Quan to the Chinese opera for an interview, and personally wrote a 6-page letter and sent it to Hubei to give it to Yuan Quan's mother:
"Yuan Quan will be a very good musical and drama actor in the future while having the opportunity to make movies and TV series."
Yuan Quan entered the Chinese opera and became a member of the most famous "96-level star class" in the history of the school, along with Zhang Ziyi, Mei Ting, Hu Jing, Zhang Tong, Qin Hailu, and Zeng Li, a compatriot who was also admitted to the Chinese opera, and called "Seven Golden Flowers".
But when Yuan Quan first entered the Chinese opera, in the face of a bunch of handsome men and beautiful women, he was very inferior, and his weight once soared to 120 pounds, "walking with his head down forever, thinking that the sky is gray."
The class organized a spring tour to the Yuanmingyuan, in order to avoid group activities, she rode a bicycle to the hospital and told the ophthalmologist that she had "committed a needle eye"... The doctor saw that her eyes were fine, but after understanding the inside situation, he really pasted her with a fake gauze.
In 1997, director Teng Wenji began to shoot "Rhapsody of Spring", which needed an actor who could sing the Big Drum of Beijing Rhyme, so Yuan Quan, who was born in Peking Opera, became the best choice for "Zhou Xiaomei".
Before the scene was finished, Teng Wenji was amazed by her acting skills, and he asserted: "This girl is incredible, and she will be very popular in the future." ”
However, Teng Wenji was conquered by Yuan Quan's aura and ignored her personality.
On the contrary, Teacher Chang Li saw it clearly: "Yuan Quan's internal and external conditions are very good, which are rare among actors." But she doesn't suddenly become red, she belongs to the kind of actor who gradually becomes popular, which is related to her personality, she is not ostentatious. ”
At that time, all the students were desperately trying to get out of the position, Mei Ting in order to star in the "Northern Story", did not hesitate to drop out of school, Zhang Ziyi took a 500 piece of vegetable squeezing advertisement, was counted down by Chang Li: "Why are you so calm!" ”
The quiet and introverted Yuan Quan did not violate the rules, but became the first person in the class to act in the movie and win the "Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress".
For the next year and a half, she did not take the drama again, and she was at ease practicing in school.
Every morning, tian zheng, a classmate, would see Yuan Quan carrying a kettle, standing behind the bronze statue in the small garden, reading "Eight hundred pacesetters running to the north slope", and the sound was loud and resounding throughout the campus.
21-year-old Yuan Quan, pure as a blank piece of paper, several boys in the class, secretly have a crush on her, Tian Zheng is also one of them, he often in the name of arranging skits, practicing lines, called Yuan Quan to Shichahai "date".
Maybe Tian Zheng expressed it too subtly, Yuan Quan had not yet figured out what was going on, and he had already been chased away by the senior...
Three
In 1998, 22-year-old Xia Yu was playing basketball in the playground when a girl approached her, with a basin in her arm, eyes watery, wet hair, and randomly coiled up with a hairpin.
Xia Yu was stupid, and his classmate hit him with a ball, which made him come back.
In Xia Yu's memory, he and Yuan Quan had a long look. Yuan Quan was completely unimpressed, saying that she might have just stared at a point in a daze.
After being matched by classmates, Xia Yu met Yuan Quan, who often asked Yuan Quan to go out to play, but eight times out of ten he was rejected.
Xia Yu was not discouraged, and always felt that there was still drama in this matter.
Once, Xia Yu asked Yuan Quan to go to the Great Wall to admire the lights, and when he arrived, he found that there was no one, and when the sky rained, he figured out what was going on.
The two looked at each other wordlessly in the rain, the atmosphere became ambiguous, and Xia Yu drove Yuan Quan back to school, which was particularly difficult, like driving a boat.
He said to Yuan Quan, "Let's also take the Titanic, just stop the meeting here." Then he turned on the stereo and played a long-planned song, Aaron Kwok's "Tonight I'm a Little Bad":
"Tonight I am a little bad, I want you to escape, I want you to owe me a debt of lifelong feelings; tonight I am a little bad, do not say love, the more heartbroken, the more you have to bury it in your heart... ”
Since then, the quiet Yuan Quan has fallen in love with the bad summer rain and the childish feeling in him.
In 1999, Curran met a particularly childish couple at the Rolling Stones Restaurant.
A girl with big eyes and a boy with small eyes, in a noisy bar, across a bar, playing with their fingers like pure love men and women who came out of the movie, that is, 22-year-old Yuan Quan and 23-year-old Xia Yu.
After falling in love with Xia Yu, Yuan Quan felt that the door that was closed in his heart was suddenly opened:
"Since I came out at the age of 11, I've never coddled anyone. After falling in love with him, I felt more and more like a girl. He gave me a space to release what had been suppressed in my personality. ”
Many years later, she missed the time when she was in love in college:
"It's very hot in the summer, and the two of us are holding half a piece of watermelon, sitting next to the school playground, with nothing in mind, digging with a spoon, which is the joy of youth."
After the class teacher Chang Li heard about her and Xia Yu, she was also very happy: "Now girls are willing to pay a lot of money, so that at least in terms of money, they can do whatever they want, and she is not." The two encourage each other professionally, which is really rare. ”
Although he had the support of the class teacher, Yuan Quan, who was facing graduation, still got into trouble.
Four
This year, the 96th class of the performance class rehearsed the graduation drama "Liang Zhu" in several groups, which was released in the Renyi Small Theater.
Yuan Quan's "Zhu Yingtai" is very popular, and often the audience comes to inquire, "Is Yuan Quan on it today?" "If Yuan Quan doesn't go up, turn around and leave." If Yuan Quan is on, no matter how much the fare is, turn around and buy a ticket.
In the end, Yuan Quan did not want to make a splash, and he was afraid of offending his classmates, so he always handed in a false note and pushed it on the grounds of "bad throat".
In the same year, Yuan Quan and Pan Yueming starred in the movie "Blue Love", which won the "Best Actress Award of Beijing University Student Film Festival" and the "Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress".
This year, she also filmed an advertising MV for Wahaha with Wang Lihong, who was just popular, and the song swept the streets.
As the most elite group of students in Chinese opera, when other students were still running groups and taking examination troupes, Yuan Quan already had several heavyweight awards in hand.
In 2000, the director of the Central Experimental Drama Theater named three students in the graduation class of Chinese opera performance: Zhang Ziyi, Qin Hailu and Yuan Quan.
Zhang Ziyi and Qin Hailu both wanted to fly out, only Yuan Quan, who really loved the stage, stayed in the drama theater with peace of mind, and became friends with Xiao Taohong, the sister of the two-year master.
In 2002, the 25-year-old Yuan Quan starred in the movie "Beautiful Bigfoot", playing a city girl who went to the mountains to teach, and after filming, she adopted 10 children from the mountains.
The following year, the 26-year-old Yuan Quan won the "Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress" for "Beautiful Bigfoot" and became the youngest judge in the history of the Golden Rooster Awards.
Soon, however, she suffered misfortune.
Five
In the same year, yuan quan accidentally fell from the stage when rehearsing the drama "Orphan of Zhao", his left shoulder collapsed, and his collarbone rushed out of the skin, and he was sent to the first aid on the spot.
At that time, it was "SARS", Yuan Quan was afraid that his parents were worried, blocked the news, and relied on her boyfriend Xia Yu to run back and forth and deliver food to accompany him.
Xia Yu heard the rumor that "Beijing wants to lock down the city", worried that Yuan Quan's resistance was too weak to get infected with "SARS", drove to the hospital overnight, and "stole" Yuan Quan...
As soon as he opened the car door, Yuan Quan found that it was full of pillows, and it turned out that Xia Yu was worried that the car was dangling, and Yuan Quan would accidentally pull the wound...
Xia Yu kicked the accelerator, drove for seven or eight hours, and took Yuan Quan back to his hometown of Qingdao.
Xia Yu's aunt and uncle took care of Yuan Quan as a daughter, massaging her back every day, adjusting her diet, helping her out for a walk, and Xia Yu also guarded her step by step.
During the recuperation period in Qingdao, the relationship between the two has undergone a qualitative change, from a naïve little lover to a lover who suffers together.
In 2004, Yuan Quan, who did not dare to take over the drama, starred in the costume drama "Little Fish and Flowers".
A year later, Yuan Quan and Xia Yu rubbed for the first time on the screen, co-starring in the movie "Shanghai Rumba".
Yuan Quan sighed: "I have never looked at an actor so calmly, because he is not only a good partner in my work, but also the other half of my life." ”
In the same year, Yuan Quan chose to retreat from the rapids, overcame psychological obstacles, and took a steel bar and six steel nails around his neck to stand on the drama stage again.
"The stage is what I love all my life, and I want to live in the theater 24 hours a day, except for reading and taking classes," she said. ”
Invited by Meng Jinghui, Yuan Quan and Liu Ye co-starred in the drama "Amber", which premiered at the Hong Kong Arts Festival and set a record for the fastest sales in Hong Kong history.
And Liu Ye also successfully fulfilled his dream, making up for the regret of not being able to kiss Yuan Quan in the four years of college ( for details, see Wan Xiaodao's past selection of public accounts: "The Passionate Past of "Shadow Emperor" Liu Ye")...
"Amber" is often rehearsed until two o'clock in the night, and Xia Yu always comes to see the rehearsal, and then thunders and takes Yuan Quan home.
After graduating from Chinese opera for 7 years, he was ready to return to the stage for the first time, starring in Meng Jinghui's drama "Sexual Encounter".
What Yuan Quan and Xia Yu did not expect was that with the arrival of a "sexual encounter", the two were pushed to the cusp of the storm...
Six
In September 2006, Xia Yu and Fan Bingbing participated in a brand fashion show, and the media reported that the two "stole kisses" scandal.
Yuan Quan, who is rehearsing the drama "Crush on Peach Blossom Garden", saw at a glance that the photo was misplaced and supported her boyfriend: "I believe in Xia Yu, I believe that this is a scandal!" ”
Who knows, 5 months later, Xia Yu and Gao Yuanyuan co-starred in the drama "Sexual Encounter", and there was a scandal...
Xia Yu and Gao Yuanyuan are the first to cooperate, the two have not officially performed dramas on stage before, the director let them be in a "closed state", good into the play, to avoid external interference...
Xia Yu said that it was particularly difficult for Gao Yuanyuan to find that hazy love feeling, and the two took pains to find it.
Therefore, in April 2007, the media witnessed Gao Yuanyuan staying overnight in the summer rain apartment for two consecutive nights...
As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar.
At that time, many media published a "insider" who broke the news, saying that Xia Yu and Yuan Quan had broken up as early as the beginning of the year, not because Xia Yu had a new love, but because Yuan Quan had a big temper.
However, just two weeks before the scandal was exposed, the newspaper also published an interview with Yuan Quan and Xia Yu.
Yuan Quan said that his "biggest ambition recently is to want to be a mother"; Xia Yu said: "We are very happy together."
Yuan Quan also encouraged Xia Yu, who was rehearsing "Sexual Encounter", "We must believe in director Meng Jinghui, with him, everything is fine!" ”
After the outbreak of the "Rain Round Love" scandal, Yuan Quan's mood was also greatly impacted, and when participating in "Very Quiet Distance", talking about his 8-year relationship with Xia Yu, Yuan Quan said:
"Both of us are children, feeling this thing, there are a lot of things in between, it is not easy, we are now left to just stick to it." It's hard for a girl to fall in love with the same person when she first learned about love, and when she was approaching 30 years old..."
Her emotions were out of control, a smile broke out on her face, but tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and Li Jing had to temporarily suspend the visit.
After calming down, Yuan Quan said: "Everyone is expecting us to have a result, if it is not the result that people imagine, this relationship will also blossom in my heart." ”
Two weeks later, Yuan Quan, who was chased and blocked by the media, responded to the relationship with difficulty, "Work is very busy, I haven't seen or called for a long time..."
She said she wanted a long, long vacation, but couldn't make it happen, so she liked watercolor painting and hot yoga, hoping to seek spiritual peace and liberation.
At the same time, the reporter squatted in the theater where "Crush on Peach Blossom Garden" was performed, and found the figure of Xia Yu, but the former lovers passed by, looking indifferent, without any words or physical communication.
A week later, yuan quan, who was only 29 years old, as the youngest member in history, was inducted into the "Chinese Drama Centennial Hall of Fame", joining the same ranks as Lao She, Cao Yu and Tian Han, becoming a veritable "drama princess".
She buried herself in her work, and in August of that year, "Crush on Peach Blossom Garden" was staged in Hong Kong.
Yuan Quan sat on the swing, his eyebrows down, and said the famous opening words: "So quiet, I have never seen such a quiet Shanghai."
Lin Qingxia, who had been obsessed with Qin Han for 20 years without results, sat down on the stage and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
The story of Lin Qingxia and Qin Han has long ended, and the story of Yuan Quan and Xia Yu continues.
At the end of the month, when the drama was performed again at the Capital Theater, the media once again captured the figure of Xia Yu, who waved at the car that Yuan Quan left, and Yuan Quan did not respond.
2 months later, the two participated in the closing ceremony of the Golden Rooster Awards Film Festival, and when they left, a large number of fans poured in, the scene was chaotic, Xia Yu suddenly appeared, pulling Yuan Quan's hand and rushing out of the encirclement...
The next day, the media found that the two appeared on the streets of Suzhou, and Xia Yu asked three times, kissed Yuan Quan, and repaired the old good.
In 2009, Xia Yu and Gao Yuanyuan co-starred in the drama "Sexual Encounter II", the reporter asked Yuan Quandan if he was worried about another "accident", Yuan Quan smiled and said: "I will star with Wang Luoyong in the drama adapted from the classic book "Jane Eyre". ”
In the same year, Yuan Quan co-starred with Wu Yanzu in the movie "Like a Dream", which was nominated for the "Golden Horse Award".
Yuan Quan and Xia Yu each had intimate friction with the "National Male God" and the "National Goddess" in the play, but there was no scandal, but they made an unexpected decision.
Seven
In August 2009, Yuan Quan, 32, and Xia Yu, 33, registered their marriage. Without the wedding that shook the entertainment circle, the two wore the simplest shirts and white dresses and returned to their alma mater to take a group of photos.
Yuan Quan said: "Because that is where our love first began." ”
On that day, the two deliberately got up early in the morning, trying to catch a good light, and when they arrived at the school, they found that it was a new student enrollment that day, and the playground was full of luggage.
But Yuan Quan was instantly relieved, she said: "In the palace of marriage, we are like new students reporting in. ”
The next year, Yuan Quan and Xia Yu's daughter was born, and as soon as she called her, she laughed and the two named the child "Xia Haha".
In 2011, Yuan Quan made a comeback after giving birth with the drama "Jane Eyre", Yuan Quan said: "The feelings established from the university era can be brought to this day, it is indeed very strong and precious, it is a feeling of home. ”
They witnessed each other's growth and shared all the memories.
It's not that there were no difficult moments, but Yuan Quan said: "When you encounter a bottleneck period, think about how many precious things you have, why not take another step forward, you may suddenly be enlightened again." ”
After graduation, classmate Qin Hailu ran to a wealthy businessman... Hu Jing has to marry a rich man... Zhang Ziyi's boyfriend, back and forth, finally became Wang Feng's teacher...
Yuan Quan has not been in a hurry, guarding his first love at the age of 21, the bad and a little childish man.
After marriage, Xia Yu is still a free and uninhibited character, in the eyes of many people, he is not the "movie emperor" who does not do business, skateboarding, skiing, surfing, magic, painting...
But Yuan Quan has always cared for the child in his heart: "Whether he is magic or skiing, I will always be his most loyal audience." ”
Yuan Quan said that she was also a child herself.
In the entertainment circle of chasing fame and profit, do not pick up sixpence on the ground, but go to look up at the moon in the sky, stick to the lonely drama stage, why not a child's heart?
From 2009 to 2014, a drama "Jane Eyre", Yuan Quan acted for 5 years, rejecting countless film and television dramas and commercial offers...
The exposure of dramas is very low, and the remuneration is only a fraction of that of film and television dramas, which can neither be named nor profitable.
Many people advised Yuan Quan to "grasp tightly", and the good time of the actress passed quickly, and Yuan Quan was immersed in it and did not care.
With "Jane Eyre", Yuan Quan has won the "Golden Lion Award for Chinese Drama" and the "Plum Blossom Award", the highest honor in the Chinese theater performance industry.
Meng Jinghui praised her: "Asian stage drama princess, generous and unpretentious." ”
Liu Ye said: "There are very few pure people like her, the entertainment industry has become very impetuous, in order to compete for fame and profit, some people can do whatever it takes." Yuan Quan even told me that if I could have a fixed salary, I would like to continue to act in dramas and continue to act like this..."
Yuan Quan, who is addicted to the drama stage, from "The First Half of My Life" to "Captain China" to "Chinese Doctor", accidentally flashed on the screen, which is the existence of stunning four parties.
Huang Bo, who has cooperated with Yuan Quan in the drama "Alive", also praised her: "Teacher Yuan Quan is an idol, from being a person to acting, he is a model. ”
Life is very complicated, and life is actually very simple. It's a toothpick, so don't do the diamond drilling. It's gold, so don't do anything about breaking copper and rotten iron. It's common sense, and it's also a respectable, decent!
