Once upon a time, Zhang Jingchu was hot and eye-catching. As an outstanding graduate of the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama, I originally hoped that she could continue her studies and become an excellent teacher who teaches and educates people, and dedicates her wisdom and sweat to China's education.
However, the year after graduation, fate generously unveiled a surprise journey for her. In 2002, Zhang Jingchu came to prominence in the popular TV series "Your Life is So Amorous", with a striking demeanor and mature and stable acting skills, which caused many heated discussions.
The audience was fascinated by her amazing acting skills, and in an instant, she became popular all over the Internet, and her popularity skyrocketed. Since then, she has participated in a number of high-profile film and television masterpieces, including the martial arts masterpiece "The Sword of the Third Young Master" and the urban emotional drama "Love Book", etc., each of which has received rave reviews and fame.
It wasn't until 2003 that the academy rookie finally made his big screen debut. In the film "Peacock" directed by the famous director Gu Changwei, Zhang Jingchu played the role of the heroine.
With her deep artistic skills and in-depth understanding of the role, her performance in the film is amazing, delicately portraying the gentleness and strength of women. As expected, "Peacock" won many important awards as soon as it was released, and Zhang Jingchu also received unprecedented attention and popularity.
Since then, Zhang Jingchu's film and television career has become smoother and broader. Whether in the domestic film industry or the Hong Kong film industry, directors from all walks of life have praised her acting talent, and have thrown olive branches to her and invited her to join the ranks of big productions.
In this way, she overcame all the obstacles on the road of acting, created unforgettable classic images, and became one of the hottest stars at that time.
Zhang Jingchu not only co-created the movie "Disciple" with the famous director Er Dongsheng, in the film she plays a mother who is seriously addicted to drugs, because her husband is addicted to drugs, and even almost falls into the abyss of drug trafficking.
This role is undoubtedly full of great acting challenges, and it needs to perfectly present the complex emotions of a woman facing a broken family and a gradually depraved life.
As expected, after the release of the movie "The Disciple", Zhang Jingchu's superb performance once again won the warm appreciation of the audience! People were amazed by the image of the character she created on the movie screen, and the sense of despair was so realistic that it seemed not to come from her on-the-spot performance, but from the personal experience of real life. Some skeptics even wonder if she has ever experienced the cruel days of drug abuse and living on the streets, so that she can interpret this desperate feeling of collapse so deeply in the bone marrow.
However, just when the public was full of praise for Zhang Jingchu's acting skills, she was suddenly involved in a sensational scandal. There are rumors that the reason why this hot actress can maintain close cooperative relations with many famous directors is precisely because she is too bohemian and indulged in lust in her personal interactions with directors such as Gu Changwei, Lu Chuan, and Zhang Jiarui, so she has been given the reputation of "director harvester" by the industry.
One of the most intense rumors described that during a certain intense filming of the crew, Gu Changwei's wife Jiang Wenli suddenly broke into the scene and gave her several resounding slaps without warning. At that time, Zhang Jingchu must have been ashamed, and all the staff present were also shocked. As soon as this matter was exposed, the outside world's evaluation of her personality instantly fell to the bottom, and her reputation and influence suffered a heavy blow.
In addition to the rumors of being slapped, there is also an even more appalling statement that has been widely spread in all walks of life -- Zhang Jingchu has actually been jointly banned by heavyweights in the film and television circle! It is rumored that the fuse of this turmoil is the ambiguous relationship between her and the popular director Feng Xiaogang, and the relationship between the two may have gone beyond the work level and developed into a personal relationship. Once this matter reached the ears of Director Feng's wife Xu Fan, Xu Fan would naturally be furious, so he united with a group of relatives and friends to block Zhang Jingchu.
At this point, I believe that readers have a general understanding of the ins and outs of the whole incident. So, what is the truth of the matter? Let's take a closer look at it. First of all, the cooperation between Zhang Jingchu and Gu Changwei is very likely to occur before the start of filming of "Peacock" in 2003. Even if there is indeed some kind of entanglement between them, after the slap incident, Zhang Jingchu is still active in the film and television industry, and has starred in many high-profile blockbusters one after another, which is really puzzling.
For the rumors and reports that Zhang Jingchu was suppressed and banned by Xu Fan and others, it is really unbelievable. As we all know, the movie "Tangshan Earthquake" was officially released in 2010, which means that the film has been scheduled as early as two years ago, and the preparations are gradually underway. During the months-long filming, Zhang Jingchu and Xu Fan faced each other day and night, jointly creating a touching scene of affection between mother and daughter, and there must have been countless wonderful interactions and rivalry between them.
However, although these rumors about Zhang Jingchu being "slapped" and "banned" are difficult to justify, why did she still choose to disappear from the public eye and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the film and television industry? Perhaps, this is the core truth of the whole incident.
Let's review Zhang Jingchu's acting career. Since becoming famous in 2002 with the TV series "Your Life is So Amorous", she has performed well in many film and television works, especially the 2003 movie "Peacock", which made her successfully step onto the big screen and start a new artistic journey.
In the following ten years, Zhang Jingchu's name became almost a household name, and masterpieces were published every year. What the audience saw was the firm determination of a powerful actor to constantly challenge himself and pursue the peak of his career in a high-intensity and high-quality performance.
However, such a pace of work is undoubtedly a severe test for everyone. For the profession of an actor, it is inevitable to work continuously for long hours, day after day, year after year, physical and mental exhaustion. Even the most outstanding acting geniuses are not immune to this fate.
It is precisely because of this physical and mental exhaustion that Zhang Jingchu began to gradually slow down the pace of work after 2017, away from the attention of the outside world, and meditate on self-cultivation and adjustment. This is the fundamental reason why she faded out of the film and television industry.
With the reduction of work intensity, Zhang Jingchu was finally able to unload the heavy "professional burden" and live a plain and leisurely life. She has returned to the spotlight with a new attitude. Today, it's only on her social media platforms that we can occasionally catch the former superstar.
However, no matter what the occasion, Zhang Jingchu has always been in the public eye with his intellectual, elegant and humble temperament. Recently, she showed a picture of herself sweating in the gym on her personal social media, proud of her figure, full of aura, full of respect, and when she shared the gluttonous feast cooked by herself, her delicious food undoubtedly demonstrated her love and pursuit of life.
What's even more striking is that this 43-year-old "top student" still maintains his enthusiasm for knowledge and is doing his best to prepare for the TOEFL exam and fully prepare for a new stage of life in the future.
Some people may think that it is too regrettable that a superstar who was once all the rage in the entertainment industry has faded out of people's sight so much? After all, Zhang Jingchu won the love of many fans with his superb acting skills and petite and exquisite appearance, and became the "ideal goddess" in their minds.
However, in the author's opinion, this decision of hers is precisely the reflection of the thoughtfulness of a truly wise person.
After all, Zhang Jingchu has made many achievements in the entertainment industry and won numerous honors and praises. In the face of the glory of the past, she should be grateful, but why should she continue to indulge in illusory fame and profit? Rather than being speculated and discussed by others, she would rather choose to stay away from the hustle and bustle and live a life of inner peace and tranquility.
Only by getting rid of those complicated troubles can we relax our minds and minds, reflect deeply, understand ourselves, and realize the true meaning and value of life.
What is even more rare is that although she is over forty years old, her thirst for new things and her desire to learn have not diminished in the slightest. She is currently working hard to prepare for the TOEFL exam and is fully prepared for the possible transition to education in the future.
From graduating from the Central Academy of Drama to finally devoting himself to the career of teaching and educating people, this reflects Zhang Jingchu's life philosophy of "from vulgar to elegant".
The good times that were once missed for various reasons will now be perfectly rewarded. With grace, wisdom and tenacity, she has written a new chapter in her life, and this broad life pattern and profound cultivation are really impressive.
Compared with falling into those gossip wars, Zhang Jingchu is more willing to show the wisdom and charm that a mature woman should have through practical actions.
