Entered the film and television industry as an outstanding student
The morning light shined through the cracks in the curtains and fell on the head of Hou Mengsha's bed, who was only 10 years old. When the curtains are opened, the blue sky and white clouds of the northern country can be seen at a glance. This is the most beautiful season in Mengsha's memory.
At this time, she always likes to stand in front of the window and look into the distance, as if all possibilities are there. Parents often lament that Mengsha is a smart and clever child.
She has always been at the top of her grades, and at the same time she is passionate about sports, and she is a very well-rounded little flower in all aspects. Her parents were so proud of her.
One day, his father proposed to let Mengsha learn to Xi acting, and at first his mother was a little worried and quite worried about this. The father explained his considerations one by one, and the mother finally agreed to the arrangement.
Acting can undoubtedly exercise the girl's multiple talents more fully, and her father is also very optimistic about Mengsha's future. Hearing this suggestion, Monsha smiled, and the door to a new world opened before her.
After entering the acting school, Mengsha can be said to be like a fish in water. Her graceful and moving voice and mellow lines amazed the teacher. In her spare time, she also does not forget to read a large number of theoretical monographs on theatrical performance.
Every time she finished reading a book, she thought hard and experienced it deeply. "What is acting, what do I want?" She is a little girl, and the world in her heart is already very vast.
The middle school years passed in a flash, and getting into the best high school in the city was a breeze for Monsha. As Monsha grew up, her parents became more aware of her acting potential.
In this way, Mengsha was successfully admitted to the School of Liberal Arts of Nanjing University and began a four-year undergraduate career. The new environment of the change of scenery has strengthened her love and vision for the future.
She secretly vowed to herself: "I must go further and further on the road I love." This is a vow that belongs to youth.
Involved in the film and television industry, the beginning of the edge
The four years at Nanjing University were happy for Mengsha. Not only is there a wealth of course knowledge here, but more importantly, the teacher taught her how to constantly improve herself on the road of acting.
"Acting is an art that requires lifelong Xi. Mengsha remembered this sentence in her heart. In 2008, she successfully passed the master's thesis defense, and Mengsha officially entered the society and started a new chapter in her life.
Due to the fact that she participated in many military performances during her college years, Mengsha naturally chose the Frontline Art Troupe of the Political Department of the Nanjing Military Region as the starting point. The mental outlook and rigorous style of the soldiers here have had a profound impact on her.
This job is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to practice her acting skills. So, while performing in the art troupe, she also began to get involved in the film and television industry.
In 2008, 23-year-old Mengsha played the role of female doctor Lin Donger in the military action drama "Sniper Life and Death". Facing the camera for the first time, she was a little nervous, but the encouragement of the staff made her uneasiness disappear quickly.
"Just play yourself. This became her motto. Although it is only a small role, it means a lot to her that she can show her enthusiasm on the screen.
This experience also made her sure that the film and television industry was her life's work.
In 2012, Mengsha encountered a turning point in her life. She co-starred with Wu Jing in "I Am the Sharp Blade of Special Forces", which was a hit, and she brilliantly interpreted the role of female soldier Tang Xinyi, which instantly became popular on the Internet.
The reputation of "the most beautiful military flower" resounded throughout the entertainment industry. Reporters came one after another, wanting to interview the new actress's experience.
Diversified development, strength growth
The success of "I Am the Sharp Knives of Special Forces" has allowed Mengsha to accumulate rich performance experience in the military drama genre. She also gradually realized that in order to become an all-round excellent actor, she needs to challenge herself in more subjects.
So in 2013, she began to try to make a cameo appearance in the special forces-themed series "Special Forces Fire Phoenix" as a flight attendant with an extraordinary temperament.
This character is different from the cool military impression in the past, and is a little more intellectual and elegant. In order to change her style, Mengsha repeatedly figured out the physical and mental state of the flight attendant.
She carefully understands the emotional ups and downs of her work, and puts herself in their shoes. At the same time, she also specially consulted the actual flight attendants and asked them to talk in detail about how to deal with things in various situations.
In the end, a vivid and realistic intellectual stewardess character was presented in front of the audience, which won a lot of praise for Mengsha.
Next, Mengsha continued to dabble in a wide range of roles such as police flowers and female prosecutors. She carefully designed the psychological characteristics of different characters, and worked out the subtle psychological changes they faced in various situations during the filming.
Whether it is her movements or expressions, she is truth-seeking and accurate, for fear of any flaws. Even in difficult shooting conditions, she never used a stand-in. The difficult locomotive show in "Manhunt" is proof of this.
With this unparalleled professionalism, her acting skills have become well-known in the circle. Even though injuries are commonplace, she doesn't care. Because this is the career she loves, as long as she can wait until the day when her acting skills are recognized, all the pain will disappear.
Low-key life, down-to-earth and upward
In addition to her busy work, Monsha lives a simple and satisfying life. She does not indulge in the bustling social entertainment, preferring to stay alone at home. For her, the most pleasant time is to make a cup of newly bought tea and look out into the distance from the small balcony of her home, letting her thoughts drift with the breeze.
Sometimes friends on the phone will ask her out for a drink. She would readily say yes, and then two or three friends would meet up to talk about the old relationship. At this time, she will also completely let go of herself, talk like a big girl, and laugh nonstop.
Mengsha often says that she is introverted, but in fact, this is related to the environment in which she grew up. The strict military atmosphere has made her develop a serious and introverted character. has been in the film for many years, she still maintains her original sincerity, does not make any publicity, and focuses on the improvement of her acting skills.
In this way, she has always been low-key and calm in the trendy entertainment industry, which is in stark contrast to other hot actresses. Although she was over thirty years old, she had repeated scandals, but she responded calmly and was not affected.
She knows that doubts will always be there, and all she has to do is concentrate on her work.
Now she is not well-known in her career, but Mengsha is not discouraged. In her opinion, acting is fundamental. Instead of losing her direction due to fluctuations in fame, she continued to work hard to further her education and prepare for the future.
This detached mentality is also the cornerstone of her foothold in this circle.
With ideals, ready to go
At the age of 35, Monsha is on the rise in her career and realizes that now is the best time to realize her self-worth. First of all, she seriously thought about and analyzed why her popularity has been at the lower middle level for many years.
She thinks it's mainly related to her too much focus on acting skills and ignoring promotion. So she decided to do her homework on this to avoid missing another opportunity. For example, she began to take the initiative to contact major variety shows, which can undoubtedly increase her popularity.
At the same time, she will also increase her self-exposure on the Internet and interact more with fans. This will be a crucial step in reinventing your self-image.
At the same time as her career, there is also her private life. Unwilling to be mediocre, she also made a detailed family and love plan for herself. She hopes to find her true destiny before the age of 40 and form a warm and happy family.
At the same time, in order to achieve a good harvest for her career and family, she plans to make sufficient time arrangements to ensure that everything can be done easily. Of course, the education of her children is also an indispensable focus for her future.
She hopes that her children will inherit her positive and enterprising qualities and become useful people in society in the future.
In addition, she is also thinking about contributing to this circle. Using her small achievements, she hopes to encourage juniors, share her growth process, and influence more young actors to grow up with a positive attitude.
She knows that inspiring and helping others is also the greatest reward for herself. With these plans, Mengsha is full of confidence to embark on a new journey. She believes that with her perseverance and perseverance, a brighter tomorrow will come.
