Last year, on a certain platform, a video of a handsome student holding a beautiful woman in red in a circle became popular all over the Internet, and countless girls called "husband" one after another, directly making Xiaosheng actor Chen Lijun popular.
Recently, Chen Lijun participated in the variety show "Sister Lang 5", but she tearfully said on the show that she couldn't support her parents.
On the other hand, Li Qin, another star from quyi, is now a well-known actor, and his coffee position and income are much higher than Chen Lijun.
Why are the two so different from each other due to their similar backgrounds?
Chen Lijun
Yue Opera has a long history in Zhejiang, it originated from the Qing Dynasty in Shengxian County, after generations of changes and inheritance, it has become the second largest opera in the mainland, and has entered the international stage.
Chen Lijun, who was born in the birthplace of Yue Opera, has been influenced by the culture of Yue Opera since she was a child and has a deep affection for it.
It is precisely because of this atmosphere that when Chen Lijun chose to study Yue Opera, she was not opposed by her family.
She studied Hua Dan at first, but the teacher thought that her appearance was more suitable for Xiaosheng. So she followed the teacher's advice and changed to elementary school.
The process of changing from Hua Dan to Xiaosheng was difficult, but fortunately, Chen Lijun persevered and became the "top stream" of the Yue Opera Xiaobaihua Troupe, and she is a Yue Opera actor with a formal establishment.
After the explosion, Chen Lijun did not float, and still insisted on the Yue Opera career, bringing wonderful performances one after another to fans who loved her.
And this year, she also appeared on the stage of "Sister Lang 5", with a sword and a red dress, which once again amazed countless audiences.
In the show, she said about her family situation, her parents are tea farmers, and she is now in her thirties and cannot afford to support her parents.
This passage immediately aroused questions from netizens, how could Chen Lijun, as a Yue Opera actor with a stable income, not be able to support her parents?
Later, they even picked up the clothes Chen Lijun was wearing for thousands of yuan, but she was crying poor when she wore such good clothes.
But in today's society, thousands of yuan of clothes are no longer a luxury, and ordinary office workers can still wear them, not to mention that Chen Lijun is a Yue Opera actor who needs to perform everywhere, and she must not have clothes to go out.
And the above words are also taken out of context by people with intentions, and Chen Lijun will explain later.
Several other sisters felt Chen's inner worries and asked if she was feeling stressed because of financial problems.
Chen Lijun has repeatedly stressed that her troubles do not stem from the economy, but from guilt towards her parents.
Different from subjective speculation taken out of context, Chen Lijun did not say that she was poor. Her current predicament is mainly due to the guilt of not being able to be with her parents.
Chen Lijun once said that since when, every time she went home and saw her parents' gray hair, her heart was full of fear. She is not short of money, but afraid of the passage of time and the aging of her parents.
In addition, Chen Lijun also mentioned that she and her sister had signed many critical illness notices, which showed that her parents were not in good health, but she was often out and could not return in time.
This situation is not only what Chen Lijun is worried about all the time, but also a common problem faced by many people today. Isn't what migrant workers who have been running around for many years are most afraid of what happens to their parents who are far away from home, but they can't do anything about it.
Among the sisters in so many seasons of "Sister Lang", Chen Lijun can be said to be the most low-key one.
She only came to the show with two backpacks on her back, and she wore a performance costume to finish the show.
As we all know, participating in a popular program like "Sister Lang" naturally costs a lot of money. Among them, Qi Wei's appearance fee is as high as 4 million, which is a staggering figure
But compared with the high appearance fees of other sisters, Chen Lijun only has 400,000.
During the recording of "Sister Lang", Chen Lijun was still running around, and Qi Wei even bumped into Chen Lijun who came back in a hurry late at night and didn't take off her makeup, which was very hard to watch.
And she has also had a Yue Opera performance in Xitang recently, and she has never floated away because she was on TV.
Liu Yan, who is from a similar background to Chen Lijun, empathizes with her predicament, and Liu Yan is well aware of the financial pressure she is under, and the heaviness makes her unable to let go easily.
Liu Yan kindly encouraged Chen Lijun and asked her to grit her teeth, work hard, and believe that she would one day lead the people around her to happiness.
Liu Yan learned from her own experience, if Chen Lijun is willing to develop in the entertainment industry, maybe she can have a better future, which will greatly improve her parents' lives.
Isn't Li Qin the best representative? Li Qin, who was born in quyi, chose to enter the entertainment industry, and her status has risen, if she is like her, will Chen Lijun still worry about these problems?
Li Qin
Recently, there has been a craze on the Internet to complain about "The Legend of Ruyi", and this drama also has Li Qin's participation, in which she plays the role of "Concubine Rong" who is charming in appearance.
Because of the character problem, the role of Concubine Rong has also been complained by many people that there is something wrong, and even rose to the point that Li Qin herself is not beautiful enough and can't afford this kind of role set up by beauty.
But Li Qin has never been good at appearance, her real strength is the accumulation of years of studying opera, which can make her break out of the entertainment industry with beautiful women.
Li Qin was born in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, where Kunqu opera was born and grew up.
Whether it is the Kunqu opera singing that often comes from the streets and alleys, or various Kunqu opera performances, she is deeply attracted to her.
Therefore, she has been immersed in the beautiful tone of Kunqu Opera since she was a child, and thus developed a strong interest in Kunqu Opera.
When she was in primary school, because of her love for Kunqu Opera, she resolutely chose the opera interest class offered by the school and began to learn the basic skills of Kunqu Opera.
The road to learning Kunqu Opera was not easy, and Li Qin's family did not have a background in Kunqu Opera, and her choice was opposed by her family.
But Li Qin did not give up because of this, she used her hard work and excellent grades to prove that Kunqu Opera did not affect her studies, but enriched her life.
In the following learning process, Li Qin actively participated in various Kunqu opera performances and activities, and won many awards with excellent results.
Kunqu Opera brought her a lot of joy in her growth, and she continued to study Kunqu Opera for several years since.
After the college entrance examination, Li Qin was successfully admitted to the Drama School affiliated to the Shanghai Theater Academy, and was soon blinded by the dean for his outstanding talent.
She has a calm temperament, a fair face, and decent manners, so she was identified as a candidate for the boudoir in the Dan horn, and has become a key Kunqu Opera inheritor cultivated by the school.
The state attaches great importance to the inheritance of traditional culture, and has set up a special fund to cultivate Kunqu opera talents.
In order to allow students to fully engage in their studies, the school has adopted a closed teaching system that allows them to be protected from outside distractions. This has also led to rumors that these students are "secretly cultivated by the state".
is such a highly valued talent, but because of a TV series, he stepped into the entertainment industry.
Just as Li Shaohong was about to remake the classic "Dream of Red Mansions", the selection of characters in the play became a big problem. At that time, most of the roles had been determined, but the role of Xue Baochai was still vacant.
Producer Li Xiaowan had no choice but to come to the Shanghai Theater Academy to select roles, and Li Xiaowan's favorite candidate was Li Qin.
In the face of outstanding students, the teachers rejected Li Xiaowan's invitation because they were concerned about academic inheritance.
But then Li Xiaowan was told by the director that there was no second choice, so she could only invite Li Qin's parents to accompany her and persuade the teacher to release her.
Li Qin's preciousness is self-evident. The teachers and deans of the school are reluctant to let her go easily.
Li Xiaowan tried her best to get the school to agree to release her, and finally moved Li Qin's parents and friends to negotiate with the school.
With the joint efforts of everyone, the school finally relented and let Li Qin make his own decision.
After a holiday, Li Qin did not return to school directly, and gave his own answer with actions. She bravely embarked on a new journey and began a new chapter in her life.
At that time, this version of "Dream of Red Mansions" caused a lot of controversy, because most of the female characters in the play were opera-style, and in many cases they did not have the demeanor of a noble lady.
Coupled with the weird tone and shooting techniques, this drama is still ridiculed by many netizens as a "ghost movie".
Even so, Li Qin still contributed a good performance, with an elegant figure and a tactful accent from the opera, she successfully left a good impression on the audience, and also won awards.
Since then, she has officially debuted as an actress, and she has continued to make film appointments, starring in dozens of TV series one after another, and completely giving up the road of Kunqu Opera.
After that, Li Qin pondered his acting skills while filming dramas, and after continuous efforts, he finally became popular with "Crazy Critic Princess" Yuan Chun and "Chicken Leg Girl" Lin Waner.
Over the years, Li Qin has received countless invitations, won awards and won soft hands, and her career in the entertainment industry is booming.
The east corner is gained, and the mulberry elm is lost. Li Qin lost the Kunqu opera she loved since she was a child, but she gained a place in the entertainment industry, and it can be said that her transformation is quite gorgeous.
epilogue
Although they are both from quyi and have also experienced overnight popularity, Chen Lijun and Li Qin's choices are diametrically opposed, and they have also embarked on different life paths.
In fact, there is no need to compare, everyone has their own favorite way of life, as long as you work hard for it, there is nothing to blame.
Opera needs fresh blood to inherit, and the entertainment industry also needs powerful actors to hand over, and their choices are correct.
I hope that they can go further and further in their careers in the future and usher in a better life.
