Once a newcomer in the advertising industry and now a stalwarts in the film and television industry, Chen Sally has a stunning appearance and perfect acting skills, swimming like a fish in water between various roles.
Especially after she successfully played the role of "The Queen Mother's Professional Household" and "Evil Mother-in-law Professional Household", whether it is the Empress Dowager Dou interpreted in "The Son of Heaven", or the arrogant and domineering role of Zhou's mother in "The Dumb Bride", she has won warm praise from the audience.
Although her life path has not been smooth, two unhappy marriages have left her with heavy blows and endless pain. However, as a single mother, she never chose to give up, and for the sake of her beloved son Che Liangyi, she was alone and unswervingly trying to survive.
To this day, Chen Sally, who has entered her old age, still maintains a unique attitude towards life, and in the face of all kinds of criticism and evaluation from the outside world, she has always maintained a calm, calm and quiet mentality.
When she was young, Chen Sally was a hot star in the advertising industry, she had a charming exotic and upright oriental aesthetic appearance, easily stood out from the crowd and became the image spokesperson of many well-known brands.
One day, a friend introduced her to the broad prospects of the film and television industry, which inspired her infinite yearning and curiosity about the acting career.
After careful consideration, Chen Sally finally made up her mind and bravely left the comfortable advertising world to go to Taiwan, the treasure island, and started a new journey as a theater actor. The days when she first stepped into the film industry were undoubtedly challenging, and she could only barely make ends meet with her meager savings.
However, at the age of 23, Sally Chen won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress for her outstanding performance in the movie "Falling Eagle Gorge", laying a solid foundation for her future acting career.
Faced with an increasingly competitive social environment, she made a bold and decisive decision - a bold transformation, abandoning the dazzling light of the protagonist and devoting herself to the role of the supporting role.
What courage and determination it takes to make such a decision!
A senior colleague of Chen Sally sighed: "As a supporting role, it is even more challenging than the protagonist, because in a TV series, everyone must return to the original work of the supporting role."
These words deeply touched Chen Sally, and she began to concentrate on studying various types of supporting characters, and humbly sought advice from seniors in the industry.
After unremitting efforts, finally in 1992, Chen Sally challenged to play the role of the Queen Mother for the first time in the martial arts drama "Book of Swords and Enmity", and made remarkable breakthroughs. Since then, she has been making great progress all the way, unswervingly embarking on the professional path of "Queen Mother" and "Evil Mother-in-law".
Whether it is successfully creating the image of the Empress Dowager Dou in "The Son of Heaven", or the wonderful interpretation of the domineering image of Zhou's mother in the popular drama "The Dumb Bride", Chen Sally has completely conquered the audience with her superb acting skills, and her classic works and iconic roles have won her the reputation of "The Queen Mother's Professional Household" and "Evil Mother-in-law Professional Household".
However, despite Sally Chen's brilliant achievements in her career, her love life is full of twists and turns. She has experienced two failed marriages, which consumed a lot of her energy, and also made her deeply experience the difficulties and loneliness of life.
Back at the age of 21, Chen Sally met the talented guitarist Huang Fucai. The two fell in love at first sight, and the blazing flame of love burned in their hearts. In order to be able to spend the rest of her life with her beloved, Chen Sally withstood the huge pressure from her family and resolutely decided to marry Huang Fucai.
However, the sweetness of the newlywed Yan'er was soon overshadowed by a dark cloud. Soon after marriage, Huang Fucai began to live a decadent and lazy life, disdainful of Chen Sally's career in the entertainment industry, and refused to accept her kind help.
The relationship between the two gradually drifted apart, and finally ended the five-year marriage in 1975.
When her career was booming, Chen Sally once again stepped into the palace of marriage, and this time she chose Che Xuan, who is also an actress. At first, the couple was very affectionate, did everything themselves, and also welcomed their baby son Che Liangyi.
Unexpectedly, not long after enjoying the good times, Che Xuan and the young and beautiful actress started a passionate affair, which brought the happy marriage relationship that lasted for 22 years to an end.
Chen Sally, who was in great pain, after careful consideration, resolutely chose to divorce for the sake of the child's future, and took on the heavy responsibility of raising her son Che Liangyi alone.
After two failed marriages, Chen Sally's heart has been full of holes, and she is no longer gullible about the promise of love. In order to create a complete and loving family environment for her children, she would rather live alone than try the ups and downs of her third marriage.
Chen Sally can be called one of the most representative "evil mother-in-law" and "queen mother" level actors in Taiwan's film and television industry. She has left a deep mark on many classic masterpieces and won high praise from the audience and colleagues in the industry.
Especially in the 2005 hit drama "The Dumb Bride", the superb performance portrayed the role of Zhou's mother vividly and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Mother Zhou was wearing a gorgeous silk robe, with a serious and solemn face, and she always treated her kind mute daughter-in-law coldly, even ruthlessly, and wanted to expel her from the house.
Chen Sally's perfect acting skills are moving, and at the same time, I can't help but admire it.
In order to be able to perfectly present the image of this domineering and evil mother-in-law, Chen Sally has made great efforts. Regardless of her physical discomfort, she chooses to sit in front of the tuyere every time she shoots, so that the pain in both knee joints is unbearable.
The doctor reluctantly accuses her of being too careless, but she ignores it completely and devotes herself to the role.
It is this firm pursuit of her profession and excellent acting skills that have made Chen Sally win the respect of her peers in the industry, and have also established a high prestige and influence in the hearts of the audience, becoming a veritable powerful actor in the Taiwanese film and television industry.
Now, Chen Sally, who has entered her old age, has long since ceased to be the face of the country and the city, replaced by the wrinkles and vicissitudes of life carved on her face. Her physical condition deteriorated day by day, and she had difficulty moving, and she had to rely on crutches to support her walking.
Despite this, Chen Sally still maintains an optimistic attitude towards life, calmly coping with the ruthless baptism of the years and various doubts and evaluations from the outside world.
The traces of time inevitably crept up on her once beautiful and moving face, but Chen Sally was never saddened or ashamed to see anyone. She often has dinner with her best friends in luxurious restaurants, happily sharing delicious food and wine, talking about ancient and modern stories, and her gestures are full of happiness and comfort, showing a picture of harmony and happiness.
Although some people maliciously commented that she was "beautiful in appearance, but only flirtatious", such mean words did not have any effect on her, and she always maintained a calm and calm posture, dismissing it.
In fact, in daily life, Chen Sally is a kind and kind elder. She is passionate, sharp-tongued, honest and has a sense of humor. The directors who have worked with him have praised her: "Chen Sally's performance in daily life is very cute and charming, as innocent as a child, which makes people feel pity." ”
Even in old age, Chen Sally still adheres to her unique aesthetic and attitude towards life. She dared to laugh out loud, laughed at herself and became a "forgotten antique of the times", and at the same time had a clear understanding of her own achievements and status, and never pretended.
This kind of frank and confident personality is the unique charm that she can win the love of countless fans.
