Zhang Zifeng won the grand prize, but her crisis is far from over

In 2019, two versions of the new generation of Four Little Hua Dan appeared in internal entertainment.

One version is from CCTV.

The list given by the movie channel known as the "Six Princesses" is Zhang Zifeng, Wen Qi, Zhang Xueying and Guan Xiaotong, of which Li Landi was defeated.

Another edition is a fashion magazine.

The magazine photographed the cover of the April issue with the theme of "New Flowers Blooming", and Qi Deng's magazine was about Xiaotong, Ouyang Nana, Wen Qi, and Zhang Zifeng.

Now 3 years have passed, the internal entertainment is unpredictable, and these two versions of the new generation of the four little Hua Dan have also been reshuffled.

The original Guan Xiaotong, Zhang Xueying, and Ouyang Nana were visibly replaced by newcomers such as Zhao Jinmai and Liu Haocun.

Only Zhang Zifeng and Wen Qi remained firm.

With the recent announcement of the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actress, Zhang Zifeng has become the TOP of 00 flowers.

Recently, two sessions of the Huabiao Awards were held in Beijing.

The two sessions merged, and a total of two movie kings Zhang Yi and Liu Ye and two queens Ren Suxi and Zhang Zifeng were awarded.

Among them, Zhang Zifeng won the 19th Outstanding Actress Award for "My Sister".

This is China's first post-00 film queen and the youngest film queen in the history of the Huabiao Awards.

There are only two outstanding actresses nominated for this year.

In addition to Zhang Zifeng, there is Jia Ling in the dark horse "Hello, Li Huanying" in the 2021 Spring Festival file.

Jia Ling did not come to the Huabiao Award, and judging from the previous awards, this actress is most likely Zhang Zifeng.

No accident, Zhang Zifeng pocketed this award on the same day.

This is both Huabiao's podium and a fork in the road for traffic and actors.

Knowing the award, Zhang Zifeng was obviously a little excited, and subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand.

When he went on stage to accept the award, he choked up his words.

She said that she would continue to walk well with this love and original intention for movies.

What followed was the controversy over the award.

Some people feel that Zhang Zifeng De is not worthy of the position, and the performance in this movie can only be regarded as decent.

Some people also think that she is too young, only 21 years old this year, which wins the Huabiao Award and throws off many powerful actresses in the circle.

Every awards season, there are similar debates.

So, is Zhang Zifeng worthy of the Huabiao Award actress?

Whether you deserve it or not should not be easily concluded, let's talk about it after reading the article.

01, is Zhang Zifeng qualified to take the queen?

"My Sister" is Zhang Zifeng's first single-handedly picked out the big liang's film, serving as the veritable first heroine.

This is a controversial movie, Douban 6.9 points, not perfect, but also rare.

The main creator of the film, all women.

Female director Yin Ruoxin + female screenwriter You Xiaoying + female lead Zhang Zifeng.

As a rare domestic film that focuses on the practical plight of women from a female perspective, its cost is only about 30 million, but it has received a box office of 860 million, becoming the highest-grossing domestic film in Qingming over the years.

Actors and works are mutually accomplished, and this achievement is inseparable from the presentation of actors.

Zhu Yuanyuan, who plays her aunt, and Xiao Yang, who plays her uncle, have contributed good acting skills.

Especially Zhu Yuanyuan, her performance is very infectious, and winning the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress is well deserved.

When this movie was made, Zhang Zifeng was not yet 20 years old, but he also showed the unlimited potential of post-00s actors.

The role of sister Enron is actually not easy to play.

There is a stubborn and strong side in her.

Relatives asked her to raise her 6-year-old brother, who she insisted on.

Her boyfriend did not want to go to Beijing for graduate school together, and she decisively chose to break up.

There was a conflict with a colleague, and she also went back.

Enron, who has not received much parental love and affectionate care since childhood, is like a hedgehog, full of defense when touched.

At the same time, she also has a vulnerable and sensitive side.

She confided in front of her parents' graveyard, nostalgic for the meat buns with peppercorns that her mother used to make for her.

She hates her parents for preferring sons to daughters, but she tries desperately to prove to them that her daughter is good too.

Strong and vulnerable, two diametrically opposed traits, appear simultaneously in the character of Enron.

The young Zhang Zifeng can control these just right, and the emotional explosiveness is amazing.

With her acting skills, she broke the limitations of her appearance and stood up for the role of her sister.

The smooth and natural performances of the actors, and the delicate portrayal of the director and screenwriter, make this film have a strong sense of substitution.

After the release of "My Sister", many people boldly predicted that the role of Enron must earn a queen nomination for Zhang Zifeng.

Indeed, with this role, Zhang Zifeng was nominated for Best Actress at the 34th Golden Rooster Awards.

In addition, she was also shortlisted for Best Actress at the Asian Film Awards.

From this point of view, Zhang Zifeng, who has been nominated for the film queen many times, is not unjustified in his promotion to the Huabiao Award actress this time.

02. The growth of genius

Zhang Zifeng is the kind of actor who eats with food.

Although she is a post-00 generation, she has been acting for a long time, she has been acting for 15 years, and she won awards early on for her acting skills.

In 2006, 5-year-old Zhang Zifeng followed his mother "North Drift" and came to Beijing from Sanmenxia to develop.

At first, he mainly shot advertisements, and often partnered father and daughter with Pu Cunxi.

After two years, she officially entered the show business, and the sitcom "Computer Dolls" was her first TV series.

In 2009, Zhang Zifeng ushered in the screen debut that laid the foundation for his acting career.

This movie is "Tangshan Earthquake" directed by Feng Xiaogang.

In the film, she plays Little Fangden and her brother who are trapped in the rubble due to an earthquake.

Hearing with his own ears that his mother chose to save his brother, Xiao Fangdeng's originally clear eyes suddenly dimmed.

The despair of being abandoned fell into a tear, almost heartbreaking.

At a young age, he showed the grievances, despair, and fear of dying of a little girl who was abandoned by her family.

Excellent acting skills, not only praised by director Feng Xiaogang as a genius, but also signed by Huayi.

She was also recognized by the audience and the industry, and won the Best Newcomer Award at the 31st Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards.

In the year of the award, Zhang Zifeng was only 11 years old.

As CCTV's "Six Princesses" gave her an evaluation:

"There is a kind of person who is born to be a camera."

Since then, film contracts have come and gone, and Zhang Zifeng has successively starred in "1942", "Modern Times", "Detective Chinatown", "Little Parting" and other word-of-mouth masterpieces.

Among them, the most out-of-the-loop screen image is the girl Snow in "Detective Chinatown".

The sad smile at the end made people's hearts bristle.

This classic screen scene has also become the highlight of her acting skills.

After that, Zhang Zifeng experienced a career trough due to the changes in his appearance and figure and the uneven quality of his works.

This made her, who was not yet 17 years old at the time, have to start facing a transformation on the road to acting.

In 2018, she returned to the public eye with two movies, "Take My Brother Away" and "Hello, Zhihua".

Among them, this literary film directed by the famous Japanese director Shunji Iwai even won her nomination for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress.

Good audience popularity and outstanding strength have made Zhang Zifeng a "national sister".

At the same time, it also gives her a certain box office appeal.

"My Sister", which picked the big beam in 2021, exceeded 100 million at the box office on the first day, and the final box office was 860 million.

From daughter, sister to sister, accurate casting helped Zhang Zifeng complete the transformation step by step.

In terms of seniority and national popularity, she is a well-deserved leader of 00 flowers.

03, Zhang Zifeng's crisis has not been lifted

However, in the past two years, Zhang Zifeng's reputation and popularity have begun to decline.

There are four main reasons for this.

First, the top students set up a rollover.

The reason is that Peng Yuchang mentioned in "Longing for Life" that he originally learned saxophone.

Later, he gave up because the music student's cultural score required more than 400 points, and he felt that it was too difficult to take the exam.

At this time, Zhang Zifeng came to the sentence: "Is it difficult to take the exam with more than four hundred?" ”

Maybe it's just a sincere question from a high school student, but some things are like laying a mine.

In particular, the program group edited a lot of Zhang Zifeng's daily routine of getting up early to review homework and prepare for the college entrance examination.

As a result, she only scored 391 points in the college entrance examination, although this score is also enough to go to Nortel, but it is somewhat collapsed, which caused group ridicule.

Of course, there are many actors with low education and high achievements in the entertainment industry.

But the premise is that they have real skills and continue to improve in business.

Zhang Zifeng's college entrance examination scores have had some impact on her popularity.

Second, it was exposed to a love scandal.

In February last year, Zhang Zifeng was photographed spending Valentine's Day with Yan Xujia, a member of the boy group.

As soon as the news came out, netizens picked up more details, and the rumors of love added a solid hammer.

The national sister and the collapsed house idols fall in love, destined to be an unblessed relationship.

This is mainly because the biggest impression left by Yan Xujia on everyone is the house that once collapsed.

Earlier, he was hammered by netizens and split in love.

Although Yan Xujia also issued a clarification that it was just a normal relationship, everyone did not buy it.

Many netizens sighed that their sister looked at the man's eyes, and Zhang Zifeng's popularity also fell again and again.

Third, the collapse of literary and artistic design.

When "Basic Law of Genius" was broadcast last year, Zhang Zifeng's studio wanted to take advantage of the popularity of the drama and sent a set of follow-up films.

The copywriter also specifically pointed out that this was all taken by our sister herself with the camera.

As a result, he was quickly caught by the original blogger and stole the picture.

At first, the blogger just sent a private message to Zhang Zifeng's studio, but the other party only apologized for the reason of the mistake.

After a second conversation, Zhang Zifeng's studio issued an apology.

This operation of dumping the pot to the staff obviously made netizens very dissatisfied, and soon triggered a wave of discussion of character collapse.

Fourth, acting strength began to be questioned.

After the broadcast of "Basic Law of Genius", Zhang Zifeng's acting skills were repeatedly questioned.

In the play, she plays Lin Chaoxi, who loves mathematics, but has mediocre qualifications and works hard to narrow the gap between him and mathematical geniuses.

Judging from the answers she handed in, most of the time the words were clear, but sometimes it was said more casually, and the words were connected together and a little sticky.

At the same time, the audience also feels that she is playing herself, often making people travel to "Longing for Life".

Some of the character's deep emotions are rarely seen in her performances.

All things considered, Zhang Zifeng's popularity has visibly declined all the way.

More and more netizens commented on her, pointing to "boring".

This also indirectly led to a lot of controversy after she won the award.

04, the dilemma of the four small flowers

In fact, not only Zhang Zifeng, but also other 00 flowers that were once optimistic, now have their own dilemmas.

For example, Zhao Jinmai.

At the beginning of last year, "The Beginning" caught fire, Zhao Jinmai played the heroine of the cycle, Li Shiqing, and his acting skills were visibly improved.

It coincided with the exposure of Zhang Zifeng's romance, and she also had a tendency to overtake on curves, who was also a "cultivation of small flowers".

Unfortunately, the quality of follow-up works has not kept up, and the Douban scores of "Friends of the Week" and "You Are My Spring" have not exceeded 5.

"Youth Pi 2", which cooperated with Zhang Jiayi and Yan Ni, has a lower reputation than the first one.

At present, Zhao Jinmai also has the TV series "Those Young Times That Can't Go Back", and "In Blizzard" with Wu Lei to be broadcast.

The quality is still unknown.

Wen Qi, who started super well, also had some lack of follow-up.

At the age of 14, she won the Golden Horse Best Actress with "Blood Guanyin", which can be described as a blockbuster.

Now the highlight of her acting skills is still stuck in 2017's "Carnival" and "Blood Guanyin".

Last year's sci-fi suspense online drama "Fatal Wish", Douban only had 3.9 points.

"Mom! Although the reputation is good, the protagonists are Wu Yanshu and Xi Meijuan.

Wen Qi also has a lot of inventory, and the most concerned ones are "I See Two Identical Clouds" and "Reindeer".

It seems that it will have to wait a while before the release.

Liu Haocun of "artificial purple MSI", although the resources are against the sky, but the most controversial, the popularity of the road is the lowest.

Li Gengxi, who is also a "resource coffee", has an erratic quality and acting level.

There are both "Knife in the Snow" with 5.8 points and "Long Season" with 9.4 points.

In these two dramas, her acting skills have also been questioned.

For these 00 flowers, the competition will be more intense in adulthood.

The dilemma may be temporary or prolonged.

How to pick a good script, how to improve acting skills, and how to keep their original intention are the tests they need to face.

The same is true for Zhang Zifeng, who now has the blessing of the title of queen of the shadows.

She was only 21 years old and took the actress, and she is indeed "won numb" in the internal entertainment actress.

However, the profession of an actor cannot be discussed for a while.

Whether Zhang Zifeng can keep this glory depends on how her subsequent works perform.

Next, her upcoming works are also promising.

Directed by Chen Kaige and joined by Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yilong, "Volunteer Army: Heroic Attack".

"Crisis Route" directed by Peng Shun and starring Andy Lau and Qu Chuxiao.

If you want to be recognized by the audience, there is no shortcut, only to act steadily.

I hope that Zhang Zifeng can continue to prove herself in these works and let everyone see her transformation.
