preface
For more than 20 years in the entertainment industry, with the acting skills of "becoming famous", angry fan Chen Baoguo and hanging Zhang Ziyi, Jiang Hongbo has created an unshakable position in the film and television industry.
At the age of 50, she is still unmarried, and she has not been exposed to any scandals for 26 years since her debut, how did she perfectly integrate the two extremely contradictory concepts of "one fame" and "zero scandal"?
"The Devil is Coming" Jiang Hongbo became famous
In 1998, the Beijing Film Academy was crowded, and the students were extremely excited and crazy to run in one direction, and Jiang Hongbo, who was still a student at this time, had already received the news that a superstar would come here today, so he followed the flow of people to the playground.
And that superstar is Jiang Wen, who exploded in those years, won various awards, and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 98 with "Song Family Dynasty", and he was even more famous at this time.
So when Nortel students knew that Jiang Wen appeared, they first threw everything behind and chose to meet their role models, and the main thought in the students' hearts was to try whether they could become the heroine of Jiang Wenxin's movie, and Jiang Hongbo also thought so.
At that time, Jiang Wen was preparing for the new movie "The Devil is Coming", and needed to find a suitable actor to play the role of the heroine Yuer, a rural widow.
And at this time, Jiang Hongbo's appearance made Jiang Wen's eyes shine, her temperament seemed to let Jiang Wen see the role jumping in front of him, when participating in the selection, Jiang Hongbo stood out among many candidates with his tall nine-headed figure and special Northeast femininity, and successfully won this important role.
In order to make the screen newcomer Jiang Hongbo more adapted to the role of this rural widow, Jiang Wen specially arranged for her to live in a remote mountain village in Tangshan, Hebei Province for 3 months.
As soon as she came to the mountain village, Jiang Hongbo personally felt the hardships of the countryside, thinking that the students in this city would not be able to stand this situation, who knew that she was not afraid of hardships, went to the fields to do farm work, learned the local accent, and often followed the women in the village to observe their words and deeds.
She worked like a local village woman during the day, and at night she went from house to house to observe the living conditions of rural women, and after three months of life experience, she has integrated into the countryside and successfully cultivated herself as a rural woman.
Soon after, the film was officially filmed, but at this time there was another problem, Jiang Hongbo encountered a task that was very difficult for her - a large-scale bed scene with the actor Jiang Wen.
This is undoubtedly a huge test for a newcomer to the film, Jiang Hongbo has never been exposed to such a scene before, and she always can't let go of herself and can't enter the role when shooting.
In order to help her enter the play as soon as possible, Jiang Wen changed into the costume of the heroine and personally demonstrated to Jiang Hongbo, and under Jiang Wen's personal guidance, Jiang Hongbo finally broke through the psychological barrier and successfully completed this extremely challenging play for her.
Although the film was later banned, Jiang Hongbo has already left a deep impression on the general audience with this excellent performance "one fell out of fame".
So, how did Jiang Hongbo get on this acting path? Why is she so insistent on dedicating herself to art?
From love of volleyball to love of acting
Jiang Hongbo was born in 1973 in an ordinary family in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang Province, where she had two older brothers and an older sister, her father was a soldier and her mother was a doctor.
Jiang Hongbo has been particularly lively and active since she was a child, often climbing up and down with the boys in the neighborhood, very naughty, her favorite thing is to watch sports programs, no matter what project can watch with relish.
In 1981, 8-year-old Jiang Hongbo watched the picture of the Chinese women's volleyball team defeating the Japanese team and winning the World Women's Volleyball Championship on TV, and his heart was extremely excited, determined to become an excellent volleyball player.
She pestered her father to buy her first volleyball at the store, found a cloth rope to build a small volleyball net at home, and began to train independently in the yard every day when she came home from school, working hard to serve and pass and catch the ball, bent on becoming a women's volleyball player.
In 1983, Jiang Hongbo was sent by his parents to the juvenile sports school to start systematic training, getting up and running at 5 a.m. every morning, no matter how cold it was in winter.
The coach and teammates said that she was the hardest person on the training ground, training late into the night every day, tired and floating, she still insisted on taking a shower and washing every pair of socks white.
At the age of 17, Jiang Hongbo signed up for the Heilongjiang Provincial Women's Volleyball Team Trials, and although his height reached 173cm, he did not meet the selection standard of 180cm and was not selected.
Jiang Hongbo was hit hard, after returning home, she lost her soul all day and became resistant to volleyball, and half a year later she regained her fighting spirit and was admitted to the volleyball major of Shenyang Sports Institute, during the university she rekindled her passion for volleyball, worked diligently, and became the most fighting person on the training ground again.
After graduating from university in 1994, Jiang Hongbo was assigned to teach at Shenyang Light Industry School, but she had little interest in being a teacher and always wanted to play by herself.
So she declined to work, returned home and stayed in a room all day, and her parents saw her so frustrated that they decided to let her temporarily rest at home for a year.
During the year, Jiang Hongbo fell into confusion, until there was a chance advertising shooting opportunity, she found that she was suitable for working in front of the camera, which had a new direction, and this was tantamount to pulling her out of the darkness and creating opportunities for her acting career.
So this is also one of the reasons why Jiang Hongbo loves acting so much, Jiang Wen's appearance is like a bole, turning the gears of Jiang Hongbo's destiny of a thousand horses, which officially became an actress, but even so, her love for volleyball has never changed.
She still follows various volleyball events, often buying volleyballs to keep at home and taking them out to play in her free time. Volleyball brought her excitement, regret, pain, and the most important emotional sustenance in her life.
And after "The Devil is Coming", is Jiang Hongbo's acting career smooth? What did she go through from a young girl to a mature goddess?
From a young girl to a mature goddess acting path
As for why Jiang Hongbo appeared at Nortel, it started when she was confused, by chance, she noticed while flipping through the pictorial that Qiqihar was about to hold a beauty contest, and by chance, she decided to sign up for the competition to test her strength.
In the official competition, Jiang Hongbo wore all the clothes designed and tailored by herself, which shows that she is also quite talented in clothing, and surprisingly, Jiang Hongbo won the championship of this beauty pageant in one fell swoop and won the first title in his life.
After that, she gradually found her direction, regained her hope for life, and was admitted to the acting department of Beijing Film Academy, during the university she seriously studied acting knowledge, the teacher is the famous actor Huang Lei, classmates and Haiqing who will also become a well-known actor in the future.
Sure enough, under the systematic professional study and training, her acting talent quickly matured, and in "The Devil is Coming", Jiang Hongbo's acting skills and open-mindedness convinced the audience.
Since then, she has officially entered the public's field of vision, truly gained public recognition for her acting skills, and gradually emerged in the film and television industry.
In 2011, with his excellent interpretation of the role of "wheatgrass" in "Iron Age", Jiang Hongbo finally completed the gorgeous transformation from a niche actor to a high-profile actress, and became a recognized powerful actress in the film and television industry.
And there was also a small episode in this, that is, Jiang Hongbo slapped the old drama bone Chen Baoguo, of course, this is not because the two have contradictions, but Jiang Hongbo wants to present the most perfect performance in the subdivision of the dispute between the two.
This slap stunned Chen Baoguo and ushered in the reputation of the two.
It turns out that not only can play the role of rural women, Jiang Hongbo can also control various dramas, and in another hit drama "Ruan Lingyu", she successfully portrayed "Old Fourth" into a sexy and sultry dancer.
In the variety show "The Birth of an Actor", her rivalry with the popular little flower Zhang Ziyi became the highlight of the whole play, portraying the queen's arrogance and majesty vividly, allowing the audience to call out the acting skills to press Zhang Ziyi to the ground and rub it fiercely.
Even many times in the role of the Empress Dowager, a professional household, Jiang Hongbo never slack, when filming "The Legend of Miyue", in order to portray the villain role of Empress Dowager Wei, she consciously figured out the unique eyes of Empress Dowager Wei for two months, and every time she returned home, she would unconsciously maintain the role state, which startled the nanny.
It is Jiang Hongbo's dedication to each role that allows her to transform the kindness and majesty of different Empress Dowager characters so easily.
Of course, in addition to his acting skills fascinating fans, Jiang Hongbo is also low-key and introverted in his private life, and can even be called a rare "clean stream" in the entertainment industry...
A low-key and introverted Buddhist female star
Unlike those stars who only want to be famous and unscrupulous, Jiang Hongbo has always lived a low-key life, does not have much desire for the pursuit of heat, and only wants to live the life he likes.
In the past 23 years, Jiang Hongbo has hardly had any scandals, when she entered the entertainment industry, relatives and friends once strongly opposed and cut off financial resources, worried that she would be hurt in this "big dye vat".
But Jiang Hongbo has always been clean, allowing her parents to see a new side of this profession, and her parents' opposition has also become her motivation to insist on herself on this road.
When not filming, Jiang Hongbo stays in her small courtyard, she likes to quietly raise flowers, grow vegetables, and enjoy this slow-paced life.
Sometimes I carry a simple hiking bag and drive to the countryside to hike along the mountain paths. Occasionally, I also put on a backpack and enjoy different cities alone.
At the age of 50, she can easily wear the clothes of ten years ago, thanks to her fitness habit, she will go to the gym regularly every week, and often do yoga at home, which not only trains her physical fitness, but also makes her state of mind more peaceful.
Jiang Hongbo is very filial to his parents and often goes home to work with them, and what parents are most looking forward to is to be able to see their daughter get married and have children, but Jiang Hongbo has no object so far, which has also become a mother's regret.
In 2015, when his mother died, Jiang Hongbo shed tears full of regret, she had been waiting for a suitable partner, but she was not willing to find someone casually to make do with it.
Perhaps, deep in her heart, there is also a trace of fear that she will lose her current freedom after starting a family.
Today, Jiang Hongbo no longer longs for a prosperous career, she just wants to live the life she likes, and her life alone makes her feel very comfortable.
Occasionally she thinks about the meaning of life, but soon she puts these thoughts behind her, and for her, life is about living simply and comfortably.
For Jiang Hongbo, the solo life that is not lively and crowded is where her happiness lies, and she will also encounter concerns and questions from different sides at friends' gatherings, but she can always firm her heart and feel that the current life is what she really wants.
epilogue
From a niche beauty pageant champion who accidentally entered the entertainment industry to growing into a skilled and widely recognized actress leader, Jiang Hongbo has used his dedicated acting skills and low-key and steady personality to step by step through the road from youth to maturity, and has achieved his own piece of acting world.
For actresses in the entertainment industry, shooting large-scale scenes requires a lot of sacrifices, and Jiang Hongbo's spirit of dedication to art does let the audience see the perseverance of an actor's heart.
Now 50 years old, she still maintains this perseverance, a dashing person and a happy person, and I hope to see more of her excellent works presented in the future.
