Preface
On the stage of the entertainment industry, is only a beautiful and moving appearance the "trump card" to pass the test?
Or is acting the real "hard currency"? An actress from the Northeast gave the best footnote with her own life.
She may not be a "Barbie doll" with flamboyance, but she has conquered countless audiences with her excellent acting skills and become the "queen of period dramas".
Let's walk into her world together to interpret the legendary life of this "acting leader".
Qi Huan, the ordinary reveals the extraordinary
The snowflakes of Jilin are fluttering, covering the land of Northeast China with a white cotton jacket.
Early one morning in April 1979, a lovely baby girl fell to the ground.
This is Qi Huan, who later became the "Queen of Period Dramas".
Growing up in the countryside, she never imagined that she would one day be on stage.
But fate is often so interesting, just let a seemingly ordinary seed bloom under the spring breeze and rain.
In Qi Huan's childhood memories, the most memorable thing for her is to enjoy the opera with her grandparents in the small garden.
As one after another music sounded in her ears, the seed of a dream was quietly sown.
She fell in love with this ancient art and was fascinated by its unique charm.
Enter the drama school and start the "inconspicuous" legend
Xiao Qihuan's dream of studying was realized, and she was eager to learn acting under the guidance of professional teachers.
But to everyone's surprise, this seemingly skinny girl chose to play the role of Lao Sheng.
"Old students" refer to middle-aged and above male characters, who not only need to make up to look like an elderly person, but also learn the manners of speaking and acting, and integrate life experience into the performance.
And Qi Huan is not even 20 years old at this time, why did he make such a bold choice?
Maybe it's because she was born with a different understanding and love for this role.
In her young eyes, the heritage and connotation of these veteran characters are far richer than people imagine.
Qi Huan hopes to use his acting skills to show the layering and depth of the character's inner world.
This choice can be called the first step to start Qi Huan's "inconspicuous" legend.
Since then, she has opened a vivid chapter of her life, writing her stage posture with a solid performance.
The 30-year-old hates to marry the haze
The young Qi Huan obviously didn't expect that he would fall into an emotional whirlpool when he was over thirty years old.
As an outstanding actress in the entertainment industry, 30 years old was originally a time for her career to take off.
But at this time, the topic of marriage and love has become a haunting nightmare.
In front of the camera, Qi Huan sharply slammed: "I'm just a leftover girl!" Those who are unreliable get married early, but the reliable ones are still single one by one. "
One sentence broke the state of mind at that time.
As an excellent actor, celibacy has obviously become her biggest psychological burden.
In fact, many years ago, when she was in college, she also had a sweet relationship.
At that time, she was still young and immature, and she followed the guidance of her heart to fly freely on campus.
The boy who accompanied her through countless sunny days is her fondest memory.
With their separation on the horizon, they have to face an emotional crossroads.
The boy decided to go to the big city to pursue his career ideals, and as an actor, Qi Huan often traveled.
Although the two are sincere, they are inevitably forced by the weight of life.
In the end, they chose to go their separate ways and go their separate ways to the next stage of their lives.
This unforgettable experience has too profound an impact on Qi Huan.
She was supposed to shine at the golden age of 30, but she was forced to face this mundane, heavy topic.
The drama of the Northeast girl
A person's adolescence often shapes the rest of his life, and the crush and breakup in college seem to have become a knot in Qi Huan's heart.
In the blink of an eye, she was nearly 30 years old, and she should have been the age of a golden doll, but she was also deeply trapped in the haze of "hating to marry".
When people reach 30, what girl doesn't want to be accompanied by a close friend? What's more, Qi Huan, a leader in the entertainment industry, should be young and beautiful, and he should be showy.
However, reality brutally hit her, so that she had to face the label of "leftover girl".
Maybe the shadow of the breakup was too deep, or maybe the weight of her career made her have no time to take care of anything else, in short, Qi Huan was 30 years old, when she should have spent candles in the cave room, she could only be alone.
Such a contradictory situation is really suffocating.
The performance has been bumpy all the way, and the popularity is mediocre
Qi Huan's acting career has had ups and downs, and it is not a smooth road.
Since the beginning of elementary school drama, she is destined to take an extraordinary path.
After entering drama school, she boldly chose the role of "old student" and began her journey of exploration on the performance stage.
Although this role is not logical, I don't know when Qi Huan has a unique understanding and love for these images rich in connotation and experience.
It is out of this pure enthusiasm that she has shown amazing acting skills on stage time and time again.
Whether it is the "Little Widow" Ding Huiru in "The Eighties", or the "Ultimate Assassin" Yan'e in "Kite", or Fu Ying in "Our Days", every character is vivid and vivid under her interpretation.
If the stage is a big dye vat, those classic characters are bright colors, and Qi Huan is the "expert" who perfectly integrates and renders them.
The audience sincerely praised her as the "Queen of Period Opera", and she deserved it.
Still, oddly enough, what doesn't quite match her acting achievements is that she is not well-known in the entertainment industry.
Even her love life is little known, like a secret lake that no one cares about.
What kind of obstacles did she encounter, or what labels and expectations did she carry?
Or maybe she herself has her own restraint and doesn't want to be exposed too much to the spotlight?
In short, this "tepid" state is extremely inconsistent with her strength and has become a major mystery in her life.
Perseverance and word of mouth
Despite the difficulties encountered everywhere in life, Qi Huan never bowed to fate.
As always, she is conscientious and strives for perfection on the stage, and uses solid acting skills to accumulate her reputation bit by bit.
She knows that even if she is questioned and not favored, as long as she perseveres, she will one day be able to tear off the layers of fog and show her true strength.
After all, there has never been a perfect person in this world, and only through continuous perseverance and hard work can we live our own wonderful life.
So, every time he made an appointment, Qi Huan went all out to devote himself to it.
She carefully delves into the psychological activities of each character, and strives to understand the inner emotional tension through words and deeds, and presents it in front of the audience in flesh and blood.
Maybe she is just a small supporting role in the eyes of others, but Qi Huan knows in his heart that no matter how big or small the role is, it should be presented with the greatest sincerity.
It is this self-obsessive attitude that has won her a good reputation in the industry step by step.
Yes, when others were still looking at her with the eyes of a bystander, Qi Huan had conquered a large number of fans with her real acting skills.
For her, word-of-mouth is far more precious than popularity, because this is the most direct recognition and a testimony of her years of honing.
At the age of 44, let go of the burden
As for the growing years, where will Qi Huan go? Do you stick with it or let it go? At the age of 44, she seems to have given her own answer.
Perhaps it was because of the pressure of her career and life for many years, she finally wanted to let go of all her burdens and give herself a chance to breathe.
Perhaps she is also used to seeing the hot and cold world, and she hopes to live an indifferent life.
In short, at the age of 44, Qi Huan seems to have made the choice of "lying flat".
She no longer pursues fame and fortune, nor does she dwell on trivial matters, but plans to calm down and live the slow life she has longed for.
Of course, this does not mean that she has been completely insulated from acting from now on.
In fact, no matter where she goes, the innocence of acting will always haunt her heart.
This is not only her lifelong pursuit, but also her biggest dream.
It's just that with the growth of experience, she has become more and more aware of the essence of the world, and is no longer too obsessed with Vanity Fair.
Being able to serve the public and cultivate sentiment with solid acting skills is her greatest happiness, as for the scenery and applause, she has long looked down on it.
This kind of indifferent mentality is the precious realization she has gained in exchange for half her life.
In the days to come, she can finally step on her own unique rhythm and live a life that is not bound by the world.
Although there is a long way to go, I believe that Qi Huan will be able to write another chapter of her life under the baptism of the years.
epilogue
Beautiful patterns often require lofty vision and wise insights to carve, and Qi Huan shows this kind of bearing with her outstanding acting skills.
She seems to have been born with the ability to comprehend human nature, to see through the extraordinary in the ordinary, and to embody perfection in the incomplete.
It is this kind of courage not to be confused by the vulgar people of the grains that makes her turn decay into magic on the stage again and again, and makes her mediocre life bloom into a dazzling and gorgeous chapter.
From a rural girl to a "period drama queen", Qi Huan used her life to illustrate the supreme spirit of a legendary character.
