In an interview full of anticipation, a middle-aged woman named Tongali walked gracefully into front of the camera with a light step, and although the years have carved a wisp of marks on her heroic face, her demeanor is still calm and calm, and her gaze is resolute and full of strength. This mysterious lady is the same star who caused a huge controversy 21 years ago because of her body art photoshoot.
When asked what she thinks of this controversial experience 21 years ago, Tongali did not shy away from it, but responded with a frank attitude: "This photo album has undoubtedly become my representative work and one of the most precious memories of my life. In this passage, Tongali showed great courage and determination, which made the on-site staff unable to help but be moved. Although she suffered from a lot of public opinion pressure and had a rift with her family because of it, she did not hesitate to answer whether she was willing to face such a challenge again: "If I could do it again, I would still make the same decision without hesitation." ”
Tongali's self-confidence and courage deeply shocked everyone present. Due to the special nature of the photo event, her career once fell to a low point, and even her married life could not be maintained. However, now she has managed to come out of the shadows and rediscover herself.
"I did have regrets in the past, but now I've let go. Tongali said calmly, "If I were given another chance, I would still go down this path without hesitation." The path of an artist is always lonely and tortuous, and we often need to make unremitting efforts for our ideals and beliefs. ”
When mentioning her relationship with her father, Tongali's expression was slightly sad. The pressure she was under during that time undoubtedly took a toll on the stern elder. Fortunately, over time, the estrangement between them gradually dissipated, and now their relationship has been restored.
"I'm proud of my choice. Tongali smiled, her tone sincere and firm, "If there is any regret, it is that I failed to let more people really understand my original intention. But this is my dream, and it is also my lifelong artistic pursuit, and I will never bow to reality. ”
When people talk about the growth of this outstanding person, Tongali is always inseparable from her deep and unique family background. Tongali was born into a wealthy family in prosperous Hefei, Anhui Province, where her father was once a brave and fearless soldier and had an extremely strict attitude towards his children's education.
"My father had very high expectations for us, and he held us strictly with the standards of a soldier from an early age. "He looked forward to me becoming an excellent athlete in the future, so he paid great attention to my physical training since I was a child. ”
It turns out that under the strict teaching of her father, Tongali showed a love for sports from an early age, and her character gradually became tenacious and unyielding. Despite being a girl, she has shown amazing talent in the field of gymnastics, far outperforming her peers. Seeing all this, his father carefully cultivated Tongali as a future gymnastics superstar.
"I can say without exaggeration that my childhood was spent in gymnastics, and it was the happiest and most fulfilling time of my life. Tongali said affectionately, looking into the distance for a long time, "At that time, I was full of personality and curiosity and fighting spirit about everything in the world. And I have had a strong sense of justice since I was a child, and whenever I see my classmates being bullied, I will definitely stand up to protect them. ”
With her extraordinary talent, Tongali quickly rose to the provincial gymnastics team, where she won numerous honours. Her efforts have been praised by her coaches and teammates alike. Today, Tongali's arms still bear the scars from her past training, and when she sees them, she is reminded of those challenging but fulfilling years.
"Although the training process was extremely difficult, I never regretted it. This experience has trained my willpower and taught me to persevere. Tongali said with emotion, "If it weren't for the training of gymnastics, I can't imagine what I would be like today, let alone have such perseverance and determination." ”
Although Tongali has achieved impressive results in the field of gymnastics, her body has also begun to suffer more and more pain as time went on. After her final gymnastics competition, she decided to end her career as an athlete and devote herself to her lifelong dream of becoming a professional dancer.
"Have you ever regretted that choice?" Tongali smiled and shook her head gently in response to the reporter's question, "For me, gymnastics has given me a strong body and a strong will, and these qualities have become a huge support force for me to move forward on the road of dance. And my passion and yearning for dance has always remained the same. "
With her strong gymnastics skills, Tongali quickly rose to prominence in the dance class and showed amazing talent. Her students were amazed by the speed at which she progressed. In order to study the art of dance in depth, Tongali resolutely decided to apply for the Anhui Provincial Art Institute, and her outstanding performance won high praise from the teachers, and she was soon admitted to the school.
"The moment I stepped into the art academy, I felt like I had found my own ocean and immersed myself in the world of dance. Tongali's voice is full of deep memories, "Whenever the music starts, I am completely immersed in it, as if the soul is flying freely in the melody." This feeling is really beautiful beyond words. "
After graduating, Tongali received a warm invitation from the provincial song and dance troupe and officially entered the career of a professional dancer. However, at this stage, she found that the opportunities on the stage were far less abundant than expected, and the enthusiasm in her heart seemed to gradually cool down. Faced with such a predicament, Tongali made a decision without hesitation, bravely quit her job, and signed up for the Anhui Satellite TV dancer audition.
With her excellent dancing skills and unrivaled stage charm, Tongali won the championship of the competition without any suspense, and was warmly welcomed by the "Oriental Song and Dance Troupe". Here, she was finally able to unleash her dancing talent to the fullest, quickly rising to become the brightest star dancer in the troupe, and at the same time ushering in a new peak in her dance career.
After receiving numerous applause on stage, Tongali was not satisfied with the status quo. With an excellent dance foundation and a good sense of camera, she began to set foot in the field of film and television. At first, she only played supporting roles in some TV series, although the role was not heavy, but it has given the audience a first taste of her unique acting talent.
"What I remember most is the insignificant role I played in the drama "Dragon and Phoenix Wisdom Fighting Panlongfang". Tongali supported her chin with her elbows and her eyes were misty, "Even though it's just a small person, I still do my best to make this character come to life."
Indeed, after the TV series was broadcast, many viewers expressed their praise for my excellent performance in the TV series, which left an unforgettable and deep impression! This undoubtedly marked a new chapter in Tongali's brilliant film and television career. Thanks to her outstanding performance, she has gradually become the object of invitation to various movies and TV series, whether it is big or small, she goes all out to perform every role.
With her deep stage foundation and endless efforts, Tongali's acting skills have been improving day by day, and finally won high praise from the majority of industry insiders. "At that time, I participated in 'Kangxi Dynasty' and 'Silver Rat', two world-renowned feature films," Tongali proudly shared, "and in an instant, my name exploded like spring thunder across the country, and my fame rose." Everywhere I went, there were tons of people who came to me asking for a photo or an autograph. I never expected that I would be so enthusiastically sought after by the masses. ”
It is true that in these two dramas, Tongali successfully created a new character image. Her superb acting skills once again won rave reviews from the audience, especially the cunning and aggressive heroine played in "Silver Mouse", which brought her career to a new peak. "At that time, I was full of excitement because my dream had finally come true. "However, I know that this is just a new beginning, there is still a long way to go, and I have to work harder to go further." ”
While her film and television career was booming, Tongali made a surprising decision to switch to modelling and boldly venture into the field of body art photography, which was still controversial in Chinese society at the time. "I clearly remember that at that time, there was still a huge misunderstanding of the field of body art photography in China, and many people were prejudiced against it. "However, I have always had a strong interest in this field, and I firmly believe that the beauty of the human body should also be appreciated and recognized by the world." ”
It is based on this belief that Tongali took the initiative to contact Zhang Xulong, a well-known photographer in China, hoping to work with him to create a group of shocking body art photo albums. Although her decision was strongly opposed by her family and friends, she was steadfast and confident in it.
Seeing that I had such a firm belief, Mr. Zhang finally accepted and agreed. Since then, we have been preparing and filming for a year and a half. Tongali recounted the process with enthusiasm, "Mr. Zhang is extremely demanding on his works, and in order to find the perfect shooting location for his ideals, we have set foot in many regions in China, which is really well-intentioned. ”
In the face of many difficulties and challenges, Tongali and Zhang Xulong still gritted their teeth firmly and persevered. After a rigorous selection of 800 boxes of negatives, 120 outstanding body art photographs were finally selected, and this high-profile photo album was finally officially unveiled to the public.
At first, the public response was overwhelming. However, the good times did not last long, and various criticisms and speculations soon appeared in society. Tongali's expression darkened slightly, "When my father learned about this, his first reaction was to cut off the father-daughter relationship with me. ”
The body art photo incident has had a huge impact on Tongali's life. Not only did her career suffer a heavy blow, but even her marriage with her husband Shen Dong came to an end.
"I was really in great pain deep down during that time, as if the whole world was questioning and blaming me. "My father had high hopes for me since I was a child, and when he learned that I had made such a film, he even said that he wanted to cut off the father-daughter relationship with me. This has undoubtedly hit me hard. ”
What's even more regrettable is that the relationship between Tongali and her husband Shen Dong has also dropped to a freezing point. Although they used to be a perfect match for talented and beautiful women, the photo incident became the fuse for their relationship breakdown.
"Shen Dong thought that the decision I made was too impulsive and capricious, and seriously damaged the reputation of our family, so he insisted on divorcing me. Tongali's tone was full of helplessness, "Although I tried to explain many times afterwards, he had already made up his mind. And just like that, our marriage ended in failure. ”
Losing her husband's understanding and support, Tongali fell into a low point in her life for a while. Her career has also suffered a major blow and her private life has become bleak. Ironically, during this time, her ex-husband Shen Dong became famous with his talent and reached the peak of his career.
Those days were the darkest and most painful moments of my life. At one point, I had a desperate despair of life and lost all hope and faith. However, fortunately, I received the warm care and encouragement of my family and friends, which rekindled my love and courage for life.
Yes, after the baptism of wind and rain, Tongali finally walked out of that dark time. She began to think deeply about her life and reflect on that controversial past. Now she has regained her inner peace and has successfully repaired her relationship with her biological father.
Looking back on the past, Tongali still has no regrets or regrets about shooting the sensational body art photoshoot.
"As an artist, our path is destined to be full of loneliness and hardship, and we often need to make unremitting efforts for the ideals and beliefs in our hearts. Tongali's tone was firm and forceful, "If I could do it again, I would still not hesitate to pursue my inner calling, even if I have to face more reproaches and doubts."
It was precisely because of that work that I deeply understood the highest level of art.
