Chen Hong, a face known as "the first beauty in the mainland".
In 1989, Chen Hong, who was only 19 years old at the time, appeared in the TV series "Several Degrees of Sunset Red" for the first time in the audience's field of vision, and her exquisite facial features and graceful figure left a deep impression on the audience.
This face, known as "the first beauty in the mainland", frequently appeared in Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas in the following years, and successfully attracted the audience's attention with her unique and simple intellectual temperament.
Although she only plays a supporting role many times, Chen Hong's beauty and figure can always easily steal the limelight from the heroine.
"Plum Blossom Three Alleys: Water and Clouds", successfully emerged
In 1992, Chen Hong played the role of the second female Wang Zixuan in the drama "Plum Blossom Three Alleys: Water and Clouds" created by the famous Taiwanese screenwriter Qiong Yao. She has succeeded in creating a seductive and moving image, with gorgeous dresses and hairstyles that set off her beautiful face.
In this work, Chen Hong only plays a supporting role, but her rich performance successfully attracts the audience's attention. Although there are not many scenes, Chen Hong's excellent acting skills have allowed Chen Hong to begin to emerge, allowing people to see the vigorous potential of this dazzling new star.
"In This Life and This Life", the light of the role covers the heroine
In 1995, Chen Hong successfully played the role of the second female Qin Anqi in the time-traveling drama "This Life and This World". In the play, Hong Kong actor Zhou Haimei plays the heroine, creating an ill-fated and unpretentious image.
And Qin Anqi played by Chen Hong is an arrogant and willful rich daughter, and her frequent changes into various gorgeous costumes and hairstyles fully demonstrate the nobility and grandeur of the role.
In this work, Chen Hong's rich and varied character settings and outstanding acting skills successfully grabbed the audience's attention, but the heroine's performance was overshadowed by her brilliance as a supporting actress.
"New Dragon Gate Inn", the mature charm once again steals the spotlight
In 1998, Chen Hong cooperated with star Xiaosheng Ma Jingtao for the third time and played the second female Qiu Moyan in the costume drama "New Dragon Gate Inn". She successfully performed the transformation process of a young and lively girl to a charming and mature woman, and had many wonderful rivalry scenes with the heroine Xia Wenxi from Hong Kong.
The compassion and maturity in Chen Hong's eyes, as well as her charming and moving temperament, once again grabbed the attention of a large number of audiences, dwarfing Xia Wenxi's single and traditional acting skills.
Chen Hong used her unique charm to prove once again that even if she is just a supporting role, she can steal the limelight from the heroine through her outstanding acting skills.
The four supporting roles have all stolen the limelight, and the strength is undoubted
In her acting career, Chen Hong's experience of playing supporting roles many times but successfully stealing the limelight makes people wonder why her outstanding acting skills and strength are not favored by directors and producers, and she cannot play the heroine? Looking back on Chen Hong's conditions, she has a tall and well-proportioned figure, fair skin, and exquisite facial features, whether it is a traditional cheongsam or a fashionable suit, she can wear a noble and extraordinary temperament.
However, at that time, the mainstream plot paid more attention to the tragic and poignant life image of the heroine, and Chen Hong's mature and introverted temperament did not match this. So although she has successfully attracted attention in every work, she has never been able to become the female number one.
But through these four wonderful performances that steal the spotlight, Chen Hong has fully demonstrated her excellent acting skills and actor strength, there is no doubt about it. Now that times have changed, we can't help but reflect on the value and status of an actor should be determined by his acting skills rather than external conditions.
Love has been running for ten years, and the marriage is happy
Chen Hong's love life has also experienced many ups and downs. In the 80s of the 20th century, she fell in love with director Chen Kaige, but broke up for various reasons. One day 10 years later, Chen Hong mustered up the courage to pursue Chen Kaige again and expressed her love for him.
After careful consideration, Chen Kaige finally chose to let go of the past and enter the palace of marriage with Chen Hong. Chen Hong disregarded the development of her acting career and became a strong backing for Chen Kaige's career when he was at a low point.
Her husband's trust and dependence on her also warmed her heart. After the test of time, they have now gone through 10 years of marriage, and their relationship is strong and happy.
Chen Hong used her true feelings to deduce what is called loyalty and persistence in love. This also gives us an important revelation in our love life, loving someone requires caution but also needs to be brave, and the relationship that can stand the test of time is the real happiness.
After marriage, Chen Hong devoted herself to her family and became a strong backing for Chen Kaige's career. In the 90s of the 20th century, when Chen Kaige's film career hit a trough, Chen Hong did not hesitate to put down his acting career and take care of his family.
In those difficult days, Chen Hong gave Director Chen the greatest support and encouragement, and did not flinch or complain.
After going through ups and downs, the relationship between Chen Hong and Chen Kaige has become stronger, and Chen Hong has also become the power of love in Director Chen's mind. She interprets the true meaning of loyalty and protection of love with practical actions.
Time flies, the years change, and the once popular actress Chen Hong has gradually faded out of the screen. After entering middle age, the star of that year chose a simple and satisfying family life.
As she grew older, Chen Hong gradually reduced the number of on-screen films. She no longer appears on the big screen as often as she did back then, but devotes more time and energy to her family.
Chen Hong said with a smile in the interview that she didn't want everyone to see what she looked like an "old woman".
In fact, Chen Hong's beauty has not changed in the slightest, but her life trajectory has no longer focused on career and fame, but on the pursuit of inner peace. Chen Hong became a virtuous helper beside Chen Kaige, wholeheartedly supporting the work of the famous director.
She has also gradually transformed into a behind-the-scenes producer, using her extensive experience to contribute to the production of films.
Chen Hong has always maintained the mature charm of intellectual introvertedness. She uses her life choices to interpret the attitude change of a woman at different stages of growth, and has also become a role model for contemporary women's Xi.
For Chen Hong, the company of her family is what she needs most at the moment. The past has become an anecdote, and the life in front of her is her true destination.
