She plays the role of Queen Evie in the film.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Fala relied entirely on acting skills and body movements in the film, without a single line. The 2021 film "
Godzilla vs. Kong
》
It is mentioned that Himea, a little girl of the Evie tribe, is the only human who can communicate with King Kong in sign language. According to historical information, the majority of the Ewe people communicate mainly through facial expressions and body language. This sequel expands the depiction of the Ewe people, and the Queen of the Ewe tribe played by Chen Fala needs to use sign language as a means of communication, and Chen Fala has many scenes in the same frame with the protagonist.
In an exclusive interview with CCTV, she revealed
In order to play the "Yiwei people" who can't speak, he not only researched a lot of information in advance, but also tried to communicate with the actors outside the play with sign language and eyes.
Many netizens also expressed surprise at Chen Fala's appearance, and some people said that they thought she had withdrawn from the circle, but it turned out that she had gone to Hollywood. Some people feel that she has nothing to do with the European and American film circles, and it is not easy to get in.
The 42-year-old was born in Chengdu, Sichuan, and settled in Atlanta with his family in the 90s. In 2005, she won the championship in Miss International Chinese, and then joined Hong Kong TVB to become the leading actress.
Chen Fala is steady and steady in TVB, with outstanding acting skills, and his representative works include the "Heart Storm" series, "Women and Heroes: Righteous Sea Love", "Pu Songling", "Rushing to the Clouds 2", "East and West Palace", "There is a Camp Cooking Woman", etc.
She has won the Best Supporting Actress at the Thousands of Stars Awards Ceremony twice.
In 2008, she played a "dumb girl" in "The House of the Heart Storm", and there was not a single line in the whole play. Although she lost to Yang Yi at the awards ceremony that year, her acting skills were well received, and even Chow Yun-fat paid attention to it.
may be a good acting skill trained in TVB, this time in "Godzilla vs. King Kong 2", the Queen of the Evie tribe is at her fingertips, and she has been well received both at home and abroad, which is also another Hollywood masterpiece after the Marvel movie "Shang-Chi".
You must know that in previous years, Hollywood invited Chinese actresses to join, mostly some actresses with outstanding strength and strong backgrounds. For example, actress-level centaurs
Li Bingbing
"Resident Evil" and "Transformers";
Fan Chengcheng
's sister "X-Men";
Jing Tian
The
King Kong: Skull Island
》《
Pacific Rim
series. And the last Chinese actress invited in the "Godzilla" series was the "International Chapter"
Zhang Ziyi
。
Chen Fara's debut was 6 years later than Zhang Ziyi, and her status in the circle is far inferior to that of the "International Chapter", but she has been able to get to this point today because she has chosen a different track at an important moment in her life.
In 2013, she left TVB after filming "Rushing to the Clouds 2", and after filming "Legend in the Wind" with Liu Shishi in the mainland, she went to the United States to concentrate on further study, and graduated from Julia College in New York in 2018, joining a small group in the local area and filming some American dramas.
In 2016, she met her French boyfriend Emmanuel Straschnov (Chinese name Sima Nuo), in May 2019, the two got married in France, and her life focus is all on Europe and the United States.
Since 2020, Chen Fala has successively starred in film and television works such as "Inaction" and "Mysterious Robbery". Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, Alicia Vikander, Dan Stevens and other European and American stars are her collaborators.
Chen Fala has a good career and family, gave birth to her daughter "Xiao Xiaoni" at the end of 2020, and in March this year, she announced that she had a second child, a proper winner in life.
On the other hand, Zhang Ziyi, although her strength is still there, has begun to become a "variety show" in recent years, and her marriage with Wang Feng has broken down, her personal image has also been greatly reduced, and the appeal and influence of the market have also declined.
In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer film and television works, and some have gradually faded out of the film and television circle. The influence in China is gradually weakening, and it is even more difficult to get an olive branch from Hollywood.
Of course, if Chen Fala is still developing in China, in the face of more senior seniors, maybe she will still be her boyfriend. But she returned to the United States, where she grew up, and found a French husband, went deep into European and American culture, gave full play to her English strengths, and combined with the skills she cultivated during the TVB period, she soon became a fish in water in Hollywood.
During Chen Fala in TVB, Charmaine Sheh, Li Zi, Deng Cuiwen, Myolie Wu, Xuan Xuan and other first-line actresses pressed her to rub, this time she shined directly in Hollywood, and she really succeeded. Therefore, when you can't roll yourself, it is also a wise choice to change tracks.
