At the age of 13, she skipped a grade and was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy, where she quickly won the admiration of well-known directors, who praised her performance for her spirit. She was at ease in her acting career, but unexpectedly chose to retire, and in the end, this decision seriously affected her career.
She is Huang Shijia, the actor of the eldest daughter Jiang Yafei in "Parents' Love". Why is such a talented actress in her position today?
Is it forced by the complicated situation in the entertainment industry, or is it her personal wrong choice? In the ten years since "Parents' Love" was broadcast, the show has become a classic in the minds of many people with its fascinating plot and lines.
The phenomenal explosion of the play also gave the powerful actors in the play the opportunity to sublimate their glory, but such glory did not fall on Huang Shijia, she is still a nameless young actor.
In the play, the Jiang family has a total of five daughters, and the eldest daughter Jiang Yafei played by Huang Shijia is the character with the most roles among the five children. What's the secret behind this?
Although there are many scenes, it did not bring more charm to the character Jiang Yafei, but made many viewers feel dissatisfied. Because of the age limit of the role, the production team finally chose three different actors to play Jiang Yafei, among which 15-year-old Huang Shijia played Jiang Yafei as a teenager.
Unlike other girls' innocence, Jiang Yafei appears more independent and strong, but her character is a bold woman. She is fighting against the world every day, and this kind of character setting that is difficult to please is not acceptable to all audiences.
However, this is exactly what director Kong Sheng is looking for, and he believes that Huang Shijia has vividly interpreted this character, and has always publicly praised her performance: her performance is very spiritual, and she will definitely achieve great success in the future.
Huang Shijia, a young talent who has excelled in both academics and performing arts, grew up in a family that valued education. Her parents, both scholars, had high hopes for her, nurturing her academic and artistic potential from an early age.
Huang Shijia was educated in a strict family environment from an early age. Since the age of 6, Huang Shijia has loved to imitate characters on TV, and her acting talent was soon discovered by her parents.
As a result, she was sent to the troupe for professional acting training. Despite limited opportunities in the troupe and limited roles for smaller roles, these experiences gave her a sense of the charm of acting and a deeper understanding and passion for the arts.
Although Huang Shijia does not play many roles in the troupe, she has been able to work with experienced seniors and learn many acting skills from them. These collaboration opportunities not only enhanced her acting ability, but also strengthened her confidence in the performing arts.
With such a multifaceted training, she has also become a role model for learning in school. Although Huang Shijia has been working hard to improve her acting skills in the troupe, she has not neglected her studies because of her acting activities.
In fact, her academic performance was even better, winning first place in her grade for seven consecutive years, demonstrating her perseverance and exceptional talent.
In 2000, Huang Shijia, who was only 13 years old, was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy with her excellent acting skills and became the youngest college student in the academy at that time, which is enough to prove her extraordinary strength.
However, Huang Shijia's acting career was not all smooth sailing. Although her performance in "Parental Love" received some attention, she was not able to shine in the entertainment industry due to her young age. Although this situation made her feel a little frustrated, she did not want to give up.
After that, she continued to hone her acting skills in the troupe, but due to her low popularity, Huang Shijia could only take on some more ordinary roles, which made it difficult for her to stand out in the highly competitive mainland entertainment industry.
Over the years, Huang Shijia's appearance seems to have changed, and people can't help but speculate whether she has undergone plastic surgery. In the past, Huang Shijia was known for her elegant temperament, but at celebrity gatherings, she was quickly overshadowed by other people's limelight, which made her feel inferior to her appearance.
Seeing that others became an instant hit but she was unknown, Huang Shijia decided to take the risk of trying cosmetic surgery to "fine-tune" her image, hoping that this would make the audience more impressed with her.
However, this change has made her lose her uniqueness. Her once rounded chin and the tip of her nose are now sharp and prominent, and her face is no longer rounded, looking like many female online anchors. These changes have made Huang Shijia very different from before, and she has lost the innocence of that youth.
In 2022, Huang Shijia was nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Eagle Festival for her role as Zheng Shuangxue in "Crossing the Yalu River", and her performance was impressive. It is worth noting that she appears quite thin in the photo, with a height of 162 cm and a weight of only 80 pounds.
Usually, actresses will lose their weight to 90 to 100 pounds, but Huang Shijia seems to be more strict with herself. Although she has experienced medical beauty projects, her career has not reached a peak because of this, but it is the role of Jiang Yafei that she played at the age of 15 that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
When her career encounters obstacles, Huang Shijia's first consideration should be to improve her acting skills, rather than questioning her appearance in the mirror. If she could have sought growth in the face of adversity, her circumstances might have been different.
Today's Huang Shijia has been maliciously speculated by some people after experiencing the media turmoil, but she was not discouraged, but returned to the public eye with strong vitality.
In 2022, Huang Shijia played the role of "Yezi" in the movie "Theater Wind and Rain", in which she showed her profound acting skills and played a role dedicated to cultural inheritance.
In addition, last year, the movie "Cloudscape Around You", starring her, began filming in Dali, and it is said that the film will be released this year. Although Huang Shijia was in the spotlight for controversy in her early years, these negative comments about her did not stop her from pursuing the path of performing arts.
At present, she has made it clear that in the entertainment industry, the importance of acting is far more important than external image. Huang Shijia was once too concerned about her self-image, but fortunately she reflected and repositioned herself in time, no longer prioritizing her appearance, but earning widespread attention and respect through her talent and hard work.
In the pursuit of life's answers, we do not simply follow the smooth path to the end, but seek answers in constant challenges, and never give up climbing over the mountains.
The true meaning of success is not always smooth, but to work hard to solve every problem on the answer sheet of life, and the final achievement is truly sweet.
