Zhou Dongyu's new film "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the "Temple of Heaven Award".
In the film, Chang Juan played by her encountered twists and turns and had a rich personality.
His parents died in a car accident, and he was imprisoned for wrongful homicide. After being released from prison, he was suspected of cheating on marriage, and then he was disabled by jumping off a building, and was forced to bind Lao Qin who he had deceived for the rest of his life. Under the vulgar and ruffian demeanor of the characters, it is a heart that has been cold. In a body that is no longer healthy, what is imprisoned is gloom and despair.
The whole story wants to show the recovery of Chang Juan's life.
For actors, the role of Chang Juan has a strong sense of story, a lot of inner drama, and is not easy to act, but the interpretation is successful, and it will be extremely brilliant.
In other words, Zhou Dongyu is likely to win another trophy this time.
If you can summarize Zhou Dongyu's acting career in one sentence, it is "God appreciates food". From debuting as a "Mou Girl" to the "youngest Three Golden Queens" in China, her strength interprets what it means to have a high starting point and a fast promotion.
In 2010, Zhou Dongyu, who was still a senior in high school, stood out from many candidates and became the heroine of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree". Although she plays Jingqiu, her appearance and temperament are completely different from those in the original book, but the youthfulness of the newcomer in her body is exactly in line with the character characteristics that Zhang Yimou wants, like a little white flower swaying and stretching in the spring breeze, beautiful and fresh and moving.
Innocent and clean, just like "first love".
After the film was released, it not only set a new record for domestic literary films with a box office of 160 million, but also won the 19-year-old Zhou Dongyu the Outstanding Newcomer Actress Award at the 14th Huabiao Awards.
What helped Zhou Dongyu go one step further was "You at the Same Table" and "Heart Flower Road" in 2014.
In the former, she played Zhou Xiaoyi who was delicate and quiet, subtle and affectionate, and in the latter, she subverted her image and starred in the "Killing Matt Girl" Zhou Lijuan.
When asked why he would take on such a role that is very different from his image, Zhou Dongyu said that he "has been waiting for such a role for a long time".
"Because I'm not a vase myself, and I don't have the desire to be a vase. ”
With this role, Zhou Dongyu let the audience see the "greed" in her performance, that is, to "try all kinds of roles that you want to try".
As a result, there are the later blind girl Huilan, the domineering Xiao Yao, the withdrawn Zhou Lan, the chic white eggplant, the rebellious Zhou Xinyi and the vitality Xiaoyou.
Even, she also tried the female agent Xu Bicheng in "Sparrow".
But these roles didn't push Zhou Dongyu much further. Especially Xu Bicheng, it became a failure after her debut.
After shifting from the big screen to the small screen, she faded her original aura as if she was unaccustomed to the water and soil, and became exaggerated and pretentious in front of the camera, unable to cry or laugh.
Some viewers said, "Zhou Dongyu, OUT!"
At the critical moment when Zhou Dongyu's acting career was stagnant and even showed a downward trend, the release of "July and Ansheng" made her turn around.
This youth romance film adapted from Baby Anne's novel of the same name and directed by Zeng Guoxiang has not only done well at the box office, but has also become a hit in major film awards. Zhou Dongyu, who played An Sheng in the film, was praised as "unexpected" for his performance, which was "a surprising transformation".
With Ansheng, she won the "first gold" of her performance, and her popularity has reached the peak since her debut.
After a lapse of 3 years, Zhou Dongyu and Zeng Guoxiang collaborated again and starred in "Young You" directed by him.
This film, which is set against the background of school bullying and tells the story of two young men and women guarding each other, is more popular and word-of-mouth than "July and Ansheng", and it is reasonable to become the winner of the award.
Chen Nian, who is quiet and weak but has a strong heart, can be called the best in Zhou Dongyu's film history.
With this role, she has been "sealed" consecutively, and has won the 14th Asian Film Best Actress, the 35th Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress, the 33rd Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress and the 39th Academy Awards for Best Actress and other awards.
The youngest "Three Golden Queens" was born.
While Zhou Dongyu's coffee position continues to improve, her salary is also rising.
When starring in "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", Zhou Dongyu, who has no acting experience and zero qualifications, will naturally not have a high salary, and it is rumored that it is 150,000. Referring to Dou Xiao's salary in media reports, this figure may be a little higher.
However, with the increase in popularity and popularity in the later period, Zhou Dongyu's salary continued to rise.
According to online information, the price of her filming "Sparrow" was 8.8 million, and after that, Zhou Dongyu, who was blessed by the identity of "actress", once took over "Animal World" for 15 million.
And she only made a cameo appearance in the film, and she didn't have many scenes.
What shocked netizens the most was the fact that Zhou Dongyu was involved in the "Zhejiang Satellite TV bribery case" with a salary of over 100 million yuan.
Between 2017 and 2018, Zhou Dongyu Studio cooperated with Dinglong Culture to shoot "The King Behind the Scenes", and the total purchase fee paid in two installments was as high as 109 million.
None of the three parties responded to this matter and ended it in a cold treatment mode.
But even if this matter is aside, only calculated in tens of millions, with the output of Zhou Dongyu's works, she is already worth a lot of money.
What's more, in addition to filming, there are also endorsements and variety shows.
In terms of quantity, Zhou Dongyu does not have the most endorsements, but most of them are luxury brands, and the cost of online transmission is 15 million for two years.
If you can earn it, you will be willing to spend it.
Now Zhou Dongyu has already realized his desire to buy a house in Beijing. The mansion she bought in an old wealthy area in Beijing is said to be as high as 40 million.
In 2017, some media also photographed Zhou Dongyu accompanying his family to see the villa in Hainan, and the starting price of the property was 4.8 million.
Millions or tens of millions of luxury houses can be bought if you want to, luxury cars, food, etc. are naturally nothing. Zhou Dongyu has a few cars under her name that cannot be determined, but she once gave away 600,000 watches and 800,000 luxury cars on her agent's birthday, which made people envious that tears flowed from the corners of her mouth.
However, Zhou Dongyu in recent years seems to be a little unsmooth.
The work is still prolific, but the quality is unstable. Not only does it lack infectious representative roles, but many films such as "Burning Winter", "Parrot Killing" and "Hot Search" have also overturned one after another.
In the field of TV dramas, it has repeatedly failed to "go down".
Zhou Dongyu, who was once sober enough to refuse to act in ancient costumes, starred in "Eternal Juechen" after joining the ranks of Xianxia dramas, not only the overall quality was not high, but her appearance and performance were also ridiculed by the whole network.
At the same time, the "black material" of the past has also been turned out again, and the controversy continues.
In this case, "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain", which was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the "Temple of Heaven Award" and is scheduled to be released in May, may be a strong boost for Zhou Dongyu's popularity to rebound again.
The premise is that the quality is excellent and the reputation is not good.
Otherwise, you can only ask her to continue to work hard!
