Preamble:
He Qing, this resounding name, has reminded countless viewers of the image of the beautiful woman in ancient costumes on the TV screen. How many people were moved by her beauty and admired her demeanor. Time flies, time flies, and that beauty in ancient costume is still fragrant in our memory. This is the charm that belongs to her, and it is also the mark that the years cannot take away.
1. Artistic enlightenment comes from Kunqu Opera He Qing is a youthful "opera flower"
At the age of 19, He Qing was still an ordinary Kunqu Opera student, performing in a Kunqu Opera troupe in Suzhou. Although she still has some baby fat, her facial features are distinct, her skin is fair, her body is flexible, and her big bright eyes are smart and transparent, which makes He Qing famous in the troupe and is regarded as a young and beautiful "Kunqu Opera flower".
That year, He Qing was on tour with the troupe when she met director Yang Jie on the train. Yang Jie was attracted by this pure and lovely girl at a glance, and took the initiative to talk to her. Unexpectedly, this little girl is not only sweet in appearance and elegant in temperament, but also has a lot of experience in dramatic art.
"Do you want to play the dragon girl in my new drama "Journey to the West"?" Yang Jie proposed.
He Qing gladly accepted the opportunity. For a new theatre artist, it is a dream opportunity to play a major role in a major production by a well-known director. So, she temporarily withdrew from her original tour job and devoted herself to the filming of the TV series.
Second, Yang Jie favored the dragon girl who starred in "Journey to the West".
To be able to play the role of pity, He Qing's outstanding temperament and natural beauty are the key. Mercy is a seemingly cold and arrogant dragon girl, but her heart contains innocent girlish thoughts. To play this contradictory role well, the contrast between the appearance and the heart must be handled meticulously.
During the shooting, He Qing turned into pity, and her every move revealed a noble and cold temperament, and her eyes were sharp when she confronted Sun Wukong, and her eyes were like knives. But when he gets along with his teacher, he will show an unreserved sincere smile and be innocent. This contrast between the outside and the inside is impressive. The actor Zhao Wenxuan, who was in the same play as her, was full of praise: "He Qing's acting skills are very good, she plays very well!"
Sure enough, as soon as "Journey to the West" was broadcast, He Qing's pity was well received and was considered one of the most outstanding actors in the whole show. She became famous in one fell swoop and opened the door to development in the film and television industry.
3. Xie Tieli is in the middle of "Dream of Red Mansions", Qin Keqing is amazing
Two years later, the famous director Xie Tieli took advantage of He Qing's potential, allowing her to participate in the sensational 89 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" and play the role of Qin Keqing. This collaboration fully demonstrates the perfect match between He Qing's classical beauty and ancient temperament.
The Qin Keqing she portrayed is charming, charming and moving, with both the charm of Daiyu and the spirit of Baochai, which perfectly fits the impression of this character who "has the color of hairpin". The audience was amazed after watching it, and recognized her as the most eye-catching actor in this version of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Fourth, the Three Kingdoms Xiao Qiao is charming and moving, and the interpretation is resourceful
Since then, He Qing has truly become one of the first-line actresses. At the age of 29, she challenged the theme of the Three Kingdoms for the first time and played the role of Xiao Qiao. At this time, He Qing was in the age of youth and charm, she gave full play to her appearance and acting skills, and interpreted Xiao Qiao as charming, pure and lovely, which made Lu Bu fall in love at first sight and be heartbroken. After watching it, the audience all agreed that she was the best candidate for the first beauty of the Three Kingdoms.
Fifth, the Water Margin Master Li's strong and dry style interpretation amazes all beings
Three years later, 32-year-old He Qing once again challenged a new theme and played the role of Li Shishi in Water Margin. She portrayed this amorous and intelligent heroine in a rich and colorful way, which made all the audience fall in love with it. Li Shishi is the first beauty of the Water Margin, and He Qing's interpretation made this character three-dimensional and plump up in one fell swoop, becoming a classic image in the minds of the audience.
In her sixties and early thirties, she is still a girl He Qing is a natural beauty in ancient costumes
When her acting career was in full swing, He Qing's face was not destroyed by the years, but became more and more intoxicating. At the age of 34, she cooperated with He Jiajin and played the role of a 16-year-old girl. He Qing was dressed in youthful costumes, smiling like a flower, and her lively and cheerful performance once again dazzled the audience. A pair of smart eyes reveal innocence, which perfectly matches the girl's heart, and does not show any disobedience. It's almost forgotten that she's not a real girl anymore.
From this point of view, He Qing is a natural costume beauty, no matter what role she plays, she can interpret it three-dimensional and vividly. With the passage of time, she has grown from a "Little Kunlun Flower" who was artistically enlightened in Kunqu Opera, to the delicate Little Qiao of the Three Kingdoms on the big screen, and finally matured into the charming Master Li in the Water Margin. But during this period, her beauty has never faded, but has become more and more charming because of the progress of her acting skills.
Seventh, the years leave traces of the charm is the imprint of temperament
Time flies, years change. Today's He Qing has entered the age of sixties, and is no longer the newcomer of the year. However, every time a new photo of her comes out, people can't help but shine up.
Recently, 60-year-old He Qing and her friend Fu Yiwei attended the event, dressed in plain clothes, with short hair, although the figure has changed slightly, but the face is still as delicate as condensed fat, the facial features are three-dimensional, smiling slightly, and the eye waves are flowing, which can still evoke people's memories of that ancient costume beauty. Fu Yiwei and Liu Lili, who are in the same frame as her, are all set off by her demeanor and temperament. This once again proves that even though the years have left traces on his face, He Qing's charm has melted into his bones and will not fade easily.
In another photo, 60-year-old He Qing still has her trademark short hair, and her elegant makeup is the same as in the past. Dong Xuan and Liu Lili around her are a few years younger than her, but under the backdrop of He Qing, their temperament has not been fully highlighted. Even if the imprints left by the years on other people's bodies are clearly visible, He Qing can still be quiet and calm, and outstanding.
It's no wonder, after all, when filming many costume dramas, He Qing has a good grasp of using makeup to create a character's temperament. Even without makeup, she can match her hairstyle, demeanor, and clothing to create the kind of charm that has become more graceful and luxurious after the vicissitudes of life. This has been integrated into her blood and bones, and has become a natural part of her temperament, which is not eroded by time.
8. In the year of the sixtieth year, the halo is still shining
From this point of view, He Qing deserves the reputation of "the first beauty in ancient costumes". The astonishing costumes of the year have long become part of her temperament, and any clothing can be enhanced by her, exuding a more calm and elegant atmosphere that has gone through wind and frost.
Even though she has faded out of the entertainment industry for many years, 60-year-old He Qing can still shine in front of the camera. Unlike many of her contemporaries, her beauty is not confined to a certain age, but is a charm that has been accumulated over the years. The years have left marks on her face, but it also makes her temperament more charming and meaningful.
So, when her new photos leaked out on the Internet, people always saw the shining beauty in ancient costumes, not an ordinary middle-aged woman. This unique charm is a sign that the years cannot be taken away, and it also makes the audience remember her vividly and are still intoxicated.
From an opera student, to a beautiful woman in ancient costume in the 90s, to a woman who is indifferent to fame and fortune, elegant and calm, He Qing uses her beauty and temperament to interpret the whole process of a woman from youth sprouts to evergreen branches. The years have not carved deep marks on her face, because that charm has become something in her bones. This may be the unique charm of the legendary costume beauty.
Epilogue:
The years are long, the flowers are easy to get old, but the wind and bones are eternal. Looking back at He Qing's artistic path, what we see is not only the vicissitudes of a beauty, but also the bits and pieces of an actor's transformation from artistic enlightenment to maturity. She has interpreted too many immortal characters with her beauty, but in the end, that charm is her essence. In her memory, He Qing is still beautiful and moving, shining in that era of costume beauties. This may be the best portrayal of an actor, who transcends beauty and has a soul that symbiotes with the character
