The debut is known as the "once-in-a-millennium star", and now the comeback is still at the peak, which is the real top
I haven't seen Jun Ji-hyun for a long time, and as soon as he returns, it is a big move to blow up Asia:
The most important anniversary issue of the Korean edition of Vogue every year, this year please sit in All-Oni. THE COVER ONLY HAS TWO SENTENCES OF COPYWRITING IN ADDITION TO THE TITLE, ONE IS "QUEEN GIANA", WHICH TRULY EXPRESSES THE BASEBALL COUNTRY'S SURRENDER TO THE SUPERSTAR.
The other is four letters: "APAC":
This is the abbreviation for the entire Asia-Pacific region, which means that Vogue will unite Asian countries and regional versions to collectively build momentum. Such a large card field is a level that is difficult to see once in many years.
In recent years, South Korea has created a world-class influence in film, television, music and other cultural fields. And such an important issue representing Asian pop culture, but the protagonist they chose is a long-hidden all-great beauty, it is difficult not to surprise and delight.
But if you think about it, it's heart-warming and convinced.
No matter how Buddha is, isn't she still a real top superstar?
Calculate it, the last work of Quan Damei is already two years ago, and the new work has not been seen. But she seems to have a magical physique, even if she disappears for a long time, her comeback is the peak.
Others fight for traffic, but what the whole sister has is people's unconditional favor.
So.
After so many years, why does everyone still love Jun Ji Hyun?
In the eyes of most Chinese, the image of Jun Ji-hyun is probably like this:
A frozen beauty who makes time helpless, a "passing insulator" who has been on the front line for 20 years after her debut, and a Buddhist actress who is difficult to find after marriage.
These descriptions are all true. But if you don't put the whole beauty back into the Korean entertainment ecology, her image must not be three-dimensional enough.
South Korea's entertainment industry is a pyramid.
From actors, to singers, love beans, laughing stars, etc., the hierarchy is strict, and the treatment is also very different.
As one of the most appealing and commercially valuable actresses, Jun Ji-hyun is the top of the tower of Korean entertainment.
As soon as he debuted, he was labeled as a "once-in-a-millennium star".
Of the ten highest-grossing films in South Korea, she occupies two places alone.
Liu Zaishi, who was at the top coffee position, joked that he did not dare to call her name directly.
At present, the actress of Korean entertainment has shown signs of discontinuity, and it is difficult for newcomers to emerge, only she is forever in her heyday. This makes Jun Ji Hyun gradually have a legend that is difficult to replicate and surpass.
The reason is very simple, in the Korean entertainment industry, which is fancy business and popularity, Jun Ji-hyun is undoubtedly the most popular woman.
Another question worth exploring is, how did she do it?
Looking at it now, I am afraid that only the word "open hanging" can accurately describe her growth history.
Jun Ji Hyun was born with two golden spoons:
One handle, is natural beauty; A handle is a solid family situation.
Of course, at the beginning of breaking into the entertainment industry, Jun Ji Hyun mainly relied on the former.
Looking closely at Jun Ji-hyun's face, it is not the kind of delicate and three-dimensional bright hanging that is prevalent in Korean circles today. But she is better than the bones, the skin and flesh are ironed, and the whole face is smooth and full.
This kind of foundation can best withstand the grinding of time, so she has never lost her girlish feeling for many years.
And the slightly drooping eye shape and full thick lips gave her a cold sensual sense and a changeable atmosphere.
With this face, she was chosen as a model in high school, and then began to take on film and television dramas and gradually became famous.
Early works such as "My Heart Ripples", the acting skills are jerky, but it does not hinder attracting fans.
But countless small flowers that are difficult to escape have long confirmed that those who do things to people are weak and love.
Eating youth rice in the entertainment industry is certainly fragrant, but if there is no more to distinguish her characteristics and strengths, once the freshness period is over, the next thing is the cold food.
"Just be pretty" is true, but it is difficult to last.
Jun Ji Hyun's other golden spoon happens to be her other winning weapon:
It is not a banknote or a silver tael, but a confident and frank personality cultivated by a wealthy family. This is another core charm that she cannot replace.
Because I starred in it, it looks good
I just show up when I'm bored
When I was bored, I just showed up again
It's most interesting when I show up
It's really beautiful
Because of me
Since her debut, she has been a well-known queen speaker.
With the light of a good life, Jun Ji-hyun has always maintained a childish innocence and confidence.
- What is the reason for the explosion of popularity among men?
- Anyway, I'm still young
In an interview when she first debuted at the age of 17, the host cue her singing, she did not bring any of the twists and reserves that a newcomer should have, and sang generously.
Even if the tune has run out of the atmosphere, even if the host is heard with a black line.
This temperament is extremely outstanding in Han Yu, which values humility and politeness.
As director Kwok Jae-yong commented, if Son Ye-jin is an image that can tolerate men, Jun Ji-hyun has a personality strong enough to protect men.
And this unique trait also made Guo Zaiyong decide to give this newcomer a chance:
A rare "tyrannical" beautiful girl character in East Asian film history.
That's right, it's the globally popular "My Savage Girlfriend".
A viable criterion for evaluating whether an actor has successfully played a character is "irreplaceable".
After Kim Min-hee played "Miss" and Jeon Do-yeon played "Miyang", we could hardly find another candidate to replace them.
And Jun Ji-hyun is also an irreplaceable interpreter for Song Myung-hee in "Savage Girlfriend".
When he found that the male protagonist was talking to other girls, he was angry.
Forced the male protagonist to be willful and proud after changing his shoes.
And when I remember the good old days after parting, my face is full of self-blame and frustration.
The small nature in her bones allowed Jun Ji-hyun to portray this character into the wood, and helped her win the crown of Korean Grand Bell Award at the age of 20.
And this is already a height that many actors cannot reach in their lifetimes.
I said that Jun Ji Hyun's upbringing was open-ended, not a joke:
Appearance, temperament, character, talent, effort, luck.
Relying on these congenital or acquired factors, Jun Ji-hyun completed his explosive growth from newcomer to superstar in just three years after his debut.
Moreover, she undoubtedly has the advantage of becoming popular at the same time and the potential to become popular.
But the problem is that reaching heights that are difficult for others to reach too early is often a shackle on oneself.
The starting point is high, and it is difficult to surpass it.
Therefore, after growing up open-hang, Jun Ji-hyun's problem became a breakthrough.
When a breakthrough cannot be found, a person's instinctive reaction is nothing more than two:
One is to lie down and eat the old book, and the other is to start an effort driven by anxiety.
Jun Ji-hyun chose the latter.
Moreover, among all the actors who became famous at a young age, she can be regarded as having a plan and a long-term vision.
Since his debut, Jun Ji-hyun has been accustomed to doing extremely careful work planning
After "Savage Girlfriend", a new work was shot at a turtle speed one or two years ago, and he tried to polish it to the extreme. Although the number is small, it has all checked in horror movies, comedy films, literary films, and action movies.
Apparently, Jun Ji-hyun is also exploring his other possibilities.
Dedication is also notorious.
For example, when shooting action movies, she must train herself to the extent that she can call herself an action actor.
In order to play a well-trained sniper, she forced herself to learn what many professionals are difficult to do, shooting without blinking.
Dragging Weiya from a building tens of meters tall to jump, it is also unambiguous.
However, on the one hand, because Jun Ji-hyun himself eats more character types, on the other hand, because he did not encounter too many good scripts later. Jun Ji-hyun was once caught in the throes of transformation and the endless cycle of anxiety and effort.
She began to fear being forgotten.
When recalling the trough, Jun Ji-hyun often uses these two words: fear and loneliness.
The first is easy to understand, but where does this "loneliness" come from?
Jun Ji-hyun, who became famous at a young age, has actually always had a heart disease:
Vanity Fair wrapped her up too early, arching her to the top of the invincible peak, and separated from the world.
Therefore, the only moment when she can resonate with the public is when she makes a blockbuster movie and is praised by the public.
The torment given to her during the trough was not material deprivation, but the loneliness that could not find spiritual resonance.
As a result, Jun Ji-hyun gradually developed an obsession with the box office.
But what Jun Ji-hyun didn't find was that this dilemma was actually caused by herself.
She is obsessed with finding the resonance with the audience, but her energy is all blindly sweating.
Pacing in circles in the Tower of Babel, wondering why the audience no longer resonates with themselves, forgetting that they haven't set foot on the ground for a long time.
In fact, the deepest resonance that a good actor can give the audience is to dissect his own weaknesses and shortcomings countless times with a scalpel, presenting a three-dimensional ordinary person.
The experiences and circumstances of people are different, but the real human nature is the same.
Fortunately, realizing this, Jun Ji-hyun did not take much time.
In 2005, she met the heroine Hui Ying in "Daisy".
Hye-young is silent, simple, pale, and extremely de-lustful, and seems to be a character who cannot fight Jun Ji Hyun.
But Jun Ji-hyun finds a faint melancholy in connection with the character from his low state.
And when preparing for the role, she tried to let go of my attachment and ambition and return to the purest form of acting.
My task is to show a person without ambition ... For me, I should throw away everything I am used to. Now this movie is centered on the heroine, and I alone need to take the lead from the beginning to the end. As long as there is a little bit of cooperation, it is not a tacit understanding.
- Cine21, January 2006 (translated by Jun Ji Hyun Bar)
Because I completely crushed myself and poured out all my vulnerability and emotion, it was especially touching.
"Daisy" is still mediocre at the box office, but it won Jun Ji-hyun another Big Bell Award nomination, which helped her regain her confidence.
What really opened a new peak for her career was the inescapable "You from the Star".
If the arrogant and obedient Song Myung-hee is luck for Jun Ji-hyun, then Qian Songyi almost has a sense of fate for her:
Narcissism, frankness, persistence, middle two, dare to love and dare to hate.
Although Jun Ji-hyun has complained countless times that this character is really idiotic, it cannot be denied that she is simply a copy of herself.
Qiansongyi is really just like me
This time, Jun Ji-hyun is not like "Savage Girlfriend", relying on talent and true colors to win the role.
The ups and downs over the years have made Qian Songyi, played by her, have more charm than funny and nonsensical.
When her career was hindered and she condescended to play a supporting role, her huge sunglasses could not hide her loneliness.
Seeing her father who had abandoned her for more than ten years, she who had always been proud suddenly became aggrieved like a little girl.
After learning that her lover was about to leave her forever, her hard shell and posture suddenly disintegrated, and her face was full of reluctance, resentment and a line of tears.
Jun Ji-hyun finally ushered in an outbreak again, and "Star You" became a phenomenal hit drama.
And the two movies "Assassination" and "League of Thieves" in which she participated in this drama one after the other, both set local records with tens of millions of box office, and won major film awards.
When she won the top prize of the Korea Baeksang Art Awards with "Star You", Jun Ji Hyun once again raised the question that had plagued her for a long time on the podium:
I was filming You from the Star
Is it closer to the audience？
I believe that this time she silently gave herself an affirmative answer.
When she understands that she must touch the hearts of the audience with flesh and blood performances, and truly does this, she no longer has to fear the loneliness of being cold in high places.
But as Jun Ji-hyun's steps became brisk and steady, her progress became slower and slower.
"Star You" has been a full decade ago, and her subsequent works have only two movies and three dramas.
In fact, since she got married in 2012, her Shenyin has shown signs. Returning to the family at the peak is something that many people dare not think about in the cruel Korean entertainment.
Jun Ji-hyun is convinced that an actor must settle back into life itself.
Getting married is not a self-defeating path, but an important ceremony for her to remove the aura of a thousand songyi-style superstars.
After marriage, everyone's eyes became more gentle towards me. If there was a wall between me and me, marriage brought that wall down, and everyone began to see me as an ordinary person.
- "Asia Today" (translated by Jun Ji Hyun Bar)
But as mentioned earlier, Jun Ji-hyun has the ability to live as a superstar at any time.
I remember that she was rumored to have changed her marriage before, which caused an uproar.
At that time, the whole brother-in-law Choi Junhyuk jumped out in a panic and responded with the original words:
"I want to be Jun Ji Hyun's husband!"
Who wouldn't want to?
She is like this, it is difficult for people not to look up to her, even if it is her own husband.
However, Jun Ji Hyun has never lived vividly and vividly, never giving people a sense of untouchability. Perhaps because of this, people spoil her, like her, and are willing to make her legend.
Jun Ji-hyun may be the real "from the stars" person, destined to be bright from the beginning and to become the person in the limelight.
But it is also herself, who simplifies the complex, and after decades of wandering, it is more pure and clear.
The only possibility of maintaining willful freedom in Vanity Fair is that freedom is engraved in the genes. A big man at the top of the tower wants to reveal the beauty of human nature, and the only possibility is that human nature is really beautiful. These beautiful personalities are randomly assigned orphans, if you want to add appearance and talent, I don't know how long it will take to come out.
Everyone loves, why not?
Becoming Jun Ji Hyun is far more difficult than becoming a superstar.
