Jiang Hongbo's women's volleyball dream is beginning.
Jiang Hongbo has been interested in sports since he was a child, especially volleyball. Her parents were both former PE teachers, which naturally fostered her love for sports. The tall Jiang Hongbo joined the school volleyball team in middle school, and among her teammates of the same age, she has outstanding jumping ability and serving skills, and can always help the team gain an advantage with wonderful ball skills. The coach is optimistic that she may represent the Heilongjiang team in the national competition in the future.
In his freshman year of high school, Jiang Hongbo represented the school to participate in the provincial youth volleyball league, performed well, and won many singles and doubles. The coach said the young "Wingman" qualified for the provincial team. However, when she participated in the provincial team selection in her sophomore year of high school, the physical fitness test showed that she was only 173 centimeters tall, which is a certain distance from the standard height requirement of 180 centimeters for the adult women's volleyball team. This gave the coach enough reason to kick her out of the provincial team.
Since then, Jiang Hongbo's long-standing volleyball dream has been shattered. She realized she couldn't run the Nets as a pro after all. This once proud "side interceptor" can only continue to play in the school team and contribute to the team until the entrance examination.
A turning point for advertising auditions
Faced with the height threshold that is difficult to cross, Jiang Hongbo chooses to face the reality calmly and no longer dwell on the dream that is categorically unrealizable. Once, she saw online that a sports brand was looking for an advertising model to cast the image of a volleyball player. Jiang Hongbo resolutely signed up for the audition.
Sure enough, with her experience and performance in volleyball, Jiang Hongbo stood out in the audition and got the opportunity to be the heroine of this advertisement. This was her first time working in a commercial, and it made her realize that the field of acting could also be her new pursuit. Since then, Jiang Hongbo has strengthened the idea of participating in the performance and is preparing to take the drama academy examination.
Beiying studied acting
After graduating from high school, Jiang Hongbo entered the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy. Here, she continued to learn acting skills, and also participated in different types of stage plays under the guidance of her teachers. In these four years of study, Jiang Hongbo has benefited a lot.
Among them, the teacher Huang Lei impressed her the most. Teacher Huang Lei constantly stimulates Jiang Hongbo's latent acting talent, requiring her to accurately control every detail, and pursue truth and delicacy when expressing the emotions of the characters. He also encouraged Jiang Hongbo to learn more about script analysis and the aesthetic thinking of directors. It is under the cultivation of this teacher that Jiang Hongbo has gradually formed a solid foundation for acting.
The emergence of the cross-border entertainment industry
After graduation, Jiang Hongbo began to participate in film and television shooting, and continued to accumulate experience. At first, most of the roles she played were small roles, but she interpreted each image with a nuanced attitude, which was appreciated by the producers and directors.
In 2000, she played the lead role in Jiang Wen's "The Devil is Coming", which was a success at the Cannes Film Festival. In the film, Jiang Hongbo interpreted the image of this desperate and strong woman with his dedicated acting skills, which became an unforgettable scene. With this film, she made her debut on the international stage.
Since then, Jiang Hongbo has officially stepped into the film industry. Step by step, she used her own strength to get more important roles and grew into a film and television star who can handle the starring role. She proved with her actions that with confidence and hard work, any change can come true. High school volleyball training
Jiang Hongbo's volleyball dream began in high school. With the encouragement of her parents, she entered a famous sports high school in Heilongjiang Province to study volleyball. In her freshman year of high school, she entered the school team and began more systematic and high-intensity training. I started training at 6 a.m. every morning, continued to practice after lunch at lunch, and went back to the dormitory in the afternoon to practice serving and receiving. Her passion for volleyball seems endless.
The coach set a training plan for her, and in addition to the daily basic exercises, many special training programs were arranged to enhance her physical abilities. For example, use bungee cords to train leg power, use power belts to train arm strength, and run for a long time to build endurance. The intensity of this training program was very high, and often after the training, she could only lie on the ground and gasp, and her whole body was so sore that she couldn't get up at all. But she never complains and is very motivated to complete every training task.
Jiang Hongbo quickly became the main member with his outstanding performance in his freshman year of high school. Her ability to serve and receive the ball is among the best among her peers. Especially on the serve, she can use her body's leg strength and arm strength to make it difficult for her opponent to parry the ball with ferocious smashes. Her training intensity is also the best in the team. In her sophomore year of high school, her volleyball skills are increasingly impressing her coaches and teammates, who believe that she will be expected to become a member of the national second-tier team.
Sports school training and dreams shattered
However, during the summer vacation of his sophomore year of high school, Jiang Hongbo suddenly found that he didn't seem to be as tall as before, but shorter than his classmates. With the medical examination, she was surprised to find that she was only 165cm tall, which is too short for a volleyball player. All dreams were shattered.
Unwillingly, she continued to stay in the sports school, hoping to make up for the lack of height through new training methods, such as increasing arm strength, leg strength, explosive power, etc. But her coach eventually suggested that she sell her volleyball dream and start thinking about other directions.
In the midst of her loss, she recalled a dream from her childhood - to be an actress. So, with the help of her coach, she decided to apply for a performing arts school and start a new path in life.
Changed careers to become an actor
Jiang Hongbo successfully entered the Performance Department of East China Drama Academy. There are many outstanding young performers from all over the country, and she feels unprecedented pressure to study. In the first few months, in addition to learning basic skills and performance theory knowledge, she also needed to be familiar with the script and master the skills of face changing. This is completely foreign to a former volleyball player.
But she was not stumped, but mastered the transformation of lines and expressions by appreciating famous dramas and imitating the performances of stars. She spends a long time in front of the mirror every day practicing repeatedly, trying to find the novelty of her performance. After a few months of practice, she gradually found her own acting style – interpreting each role with sincerity and delicacy.
The beginning of film and television dramas
The turning point of Jiang Hongbo's professional career came late, but this initial stage was not smooth. After graduation, she just started to develop in the film and television industry, and there were not many opportunities, so she could only take on some low-cost film and television works with low configuration and inconspicuous roles.
In these works, she plays nothing more than some passers-by, supporting characters and other secondary characters. But Jiang Hongbo did not lose heart, she regarded every appearance as a good opportunity to learn and hone, delve into the details of each role, and interpret the character as much as possible in the limited scenes.
Despite this, her acting skills have not received much attention. Jiang Hongbo understands that in order to gain a firm foothold in the film and television industry, the only way to attract the attention of directors and producers is to perform better.
It was during this process that she was exposed to and learned many valuable experiences that prepared her for maturity in the future.
The first on-screen experience of "The Devil is Coming".
In 2000, director Jiang Wen selected Jiang Hongbo as the heroine of the war-themed movie "The Devil is Coming" directed by himself. This is undoubtedly a rare opportunity, and it is also Jiang Hongbo's screen debut.
To conduct in-depth research on the role, Jiang Hongbo chose to go to the countryside to learn about the living conditions of peasant women in that era. With no acting experience, she showed herself unreservedly, consciously participating in an extremely difficult nude shot.
Although she endured a lot of mental pressure in the process, she always maintained a high level of commitment and strong character emotion. Eventually, after the release of the film, her outstanding acting skills won the recognition of audiences and professional critics, and was regarded as one of the important forces in the success of the film.
This cooperation opens a new chapter in Jiang Hongbo's career.
Honors at the Festival de Cannes
In 2002, he participated in the competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival with "The Devil is Coming", and Jiang Hongbo's wonderful performance once again attracted attention. The judges highly appreciated her delicate embodiment in the film, believing that she deeply created the image of women in an era and recreated the realism of that history. In the end, she won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival, the highest honor of the festival, with her outstanding performance skills in the film. This is not only an affirmation of Jiang Hongbo as a rookie actor, but also further enhances her popularity in the film industry at home and abroad.
The challenge of the ban on films
However, when his career was booming, Jiang Hongbo also faced many tests.
This is a huge blow to any actor. In the face of public skepticism and commercial pressure, other actors may choose to turn to safer productions.
But Jiang Hongbo chose to continue to take the experimental route and participate in some literary and artistic works with strong ideological connotations, although he may face the risk of being banned. This shows her dedication and principled pursuit of her career, and also allows more people to see her personality of courage to explore.
。
In short, from the fledgling film and television crew, to the outstanding achievements of the Cannes Film Festival, to the setbacks in the face of the ban, Jiang Hongbo experienced various tests in the early stages of her career, cultivated her indomitable nature, and also achieved her success in the film and television industry in the future. She has gone through every stage of starting and growing in her own unique way, and has also repaid all the nourishment given to her by the film and television industry with more condensed acting power.
