1. Chapter foreshadowing: unveiling the prelude dedicated to a single woman who is misunderstood as "living a difficult life".
The 49-year-old Chi Huaqiong sat quietly in her study, immersed in the world of books. The warm and pleasant sunlight shrouded her in the study, and her face was full of happiness to show her deep love for words.
However, the sudden ringing of the mobile phone broke the silence, and she glanced at the caller ID, her brow furrowed slightly.
"Hey, Mom, why are you again?" She replied politely and a little helplessly, "I'm doing very well now, why are you always so worried?" "
Chi Huaqiong sighed deeply, "Mom, I have long decided not to rise and fall in the entertainment industry, and those illusory fame and fortune are not attractive to me. Her face was full of confidence and determination.
Facing her mother's nagging, Chi Huaqiong showed a calm smile. She looked around, and her eyes lingered on the mountains of old books on the shelves and the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, which were the treasures she cherished most in her heart.
She doesn't care about the gossip from the outside world.
Chi Huaqiong lives a freewheeling life and engages in the career she loves, which is her greatest satisfaction. The mother's concern stemmed from her ignorance, and she never really understood her daughter's yearning and pursuit of freedom.
2. When he was 15 years old, he accidentally stepped into the entertainment industry and started a brilliant life
"Mom, you may not know that the turning point in my life was when I was 15 years old." Chi Huaqiong said affectionately, her eyes softened, as if she had traveled through a time tunnel and returned to that period of youth and beauty.
The time dates back to Shanghai in 1990, and by chance, she participated in the audition of the hit TV series "Sixteen-year-old Flower Season". Although she has never received professional acting training, her love and dedication to acting cannot be hidden.
When she stood in front of the camera, she was so nervous that her palms broke out in a cold sweat, but she still mustered up the courage to complete the performance.
Surprisingly, the director discovered her innocent temperament at a glance, and did not hesitate to invite her to join the crew and play the heroine Chen Fei. For a newcomer who is new to the film industry, it is undoubtedly a big gamble in life to get such an opportunity.
Chi Huaqiong knows that she is lucky, she devotes herself to the role, repeatedly reads the script every day, and humbly asks the director for advice until every detail is perfect.
In order to make her eyes clearer and brighter, she even resolutely gave up makeup on the set, and everyone was touched by the young girl's professionalism and professionalism.
In the end, with its extraordinary expressiveness, this drama has received rave reviews and market popularity has reached an unprecedented height; And Chi Huaqiong was also instantly promoted to the "campus goddess" in the hearts of the audience, and her popularity is rising.
However, despite being the center of attention, Chi Huaqiong did not get complacent, but maintained her usual modesty and courtesy, devoted more time and energy to her studies, and resolutely rejected most business activities.
"Do you remember that moment, when I was offered an invitation to continue working in the second season, I firmly declined?" Chi Huaqiong fondly recalled, "For me, such a simple and ordinary student life is what I cherish the most.
Hearing her daughter's words, her mother couldn't help but show some regret: "If you can continue to be popular, you may have become one of the top stars now, how can you work so hard?" ”。
Facing her mother's question, Chi Huaqiong smiled indifferently: "Is it hard?" That's just my choice. I'm free and happy, and that's enough. This woman, who unexpectedly started her legendary life at the age of 15, has long understood the ethereal behind fame and fortune.
3. At the age of 40, he took the initiative to retire with honor and devote himself to his personal life
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, 2015 has come, and Chi Huaqiong has entered the age of 40 at this time. After successfully completing the filming of the last TV series "The Four Treasures of the Study", she resolutely announced to the assistant beside her: "I have decided to officially bid farewell to the entertainment industry."
The assistant's face was full of consternation: "You are at the peak of your career, why did you make such a decision?" ”。
Chi Huaqiong shook her head gently, her eyes were full of unprecedented firmness: "As early as many years ago, I made a vow that I would never act to middle age. I have swayed my career as an actor, and now is the best time to return to myself and pursue the life I love.
”。
In order to achieve this decision, she has long been fully mentally prepared, and no matter how the outside world doubts it, she will not waver. As she wrote on social media: "I am a free bird that soars through the sky, and I will not stop for anyone."
In this way, Chi Huaqiong finally broke free from the shackles of busy and noisy life and began to enjoy that leisurely and complacent good time. During the day, she respectfully visits the seniors in the calligraphy world and humbly seeks to teach the essence of the art of calligraphy. At night, she often holds a brush alone, swaying the fragrance of ink in the courtyard, admiring the bright moonlight, looking up at the bright starry sky, like a worldly master living in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
Occasionally, she would pack her bags and embark on a lonely and free journey. Standing on the top of a high mountain, she overlooks the earth and has a wide field of vision; Walking among the green mountains and green waters, she felt unprecedented ease and tranquility.
The troubles of the past have all dissipated at this moment, and her heart has never been so calm and peaceful.
Chi Huaqiong's calligraphy is becoming more and more sophisticated, and her talent and charm are expected by everyone and have been favored by major exhibitions. In this tranquil world of art, she finds unprecedented happiness and satisfaction, and the moments of history that once carried glory are now irrelevant.
Despite the ups and downs of her life, she was able to get her wish and live the life she dreamed of.
Fourth, at the age of 30, she created the image of a female policeman, and her acting skills were perfected
Before she took the initiative to choose to retire with honor, Chi Huaqiong, who was in her early 30s, was at the peak of her career. In 2004, she played the role of Chen Zilan in the criminal investigation drama "Sword of China", and successfully created the image of a witty, decisive, heroic and fearless female policeman.
In order to better interpret this role, Chi Huaqiong specially visited a number of senior actors and humbly asked them how to interpret the unique secret of the police role: "An excellent police role not only requires superb martial arts fighting skills, but more importantly, a firm belief in the heart and a strong sense of justice," an elder said earnestly.
In addition to the study of theoretical knowledge, Chi Huaqiong also participated in many extreme training, striving to be closer to the real life of the character. She has mastered a variety of agent skills such as self-defense, firearm use, and foreign language dialogue, and has personally played with the director and martial arts instructors to achieve the best results.
Finally, on the day of the start-up, although Chi Huaqiong was full of longing, her heart was still full of tension and uneasiness, she had always been extremely demanding on her performance, for fear that any negligence would affect the shaping of the entire character image.
However, as expected, in the early days of filming, she made frequent mistakes, and at one point even felt so frustrated that she wanted to give up. Just when she was confused, the director gave her timely encouragement and guidance: "The most important thing to play an excellent role is not the realistic restoration of the details of life, but the deep understanding and accurate grasp of the depths of the soul."
As long as you devote yourself to it, you will be able to play this role perfectly" The director's words are like a beacon, illuminating the way forward for Chi Huaqiong Since then, she has completely released herself, used her unique understanding of the role, boldly innovated, and finally successfully created a lifelike, intelligent and brave Chen Zilan, which won the warm welcome of the audience and was known as "the eternal goddess in Xiaosheng's heart".
This TV series has undoubtedly become another pinnacle in her acting career, which further highlights her superb acting skills and reaches a realm that no one can match! In the following years, she has participated in many excellent works with both word-of-mouth and ratings, and is undoubtedly a veritable first sister of national dramas.
Fifth, at the age of 20, he challenged the role of Liu Hulan, and the powerful faction turned around gorgeously
Fast forward to 1995, when Chi Huaqiong, who was only 20 years old, had just stepped into college, but a producer suddenly came to the door, hoping that she could play the heroine of the new drama "Liu Hulan".
This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for a fledgling young actor. Liu Hulan is a heroic, tragic, intelligent and kind heroine, and she needs to perfectly present this unique spiritual temperament on the screen.
However, she knows that this is not only a test of acting skills, but also a deep baptism and sublimation of her own spiritual temperament. It will lead her from the image of a young girl to a flesh-and-blood female hero.
That's exactly what she's looking for, and she's never going to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In order to create this role well, Chi Huaqiong devoted countless efforts to careful preparation. She personally went to Yan'an to go deep into the environment where Liu Hulan once lived, to understand her life experience and inner world.
Every morning, she will follow the local farmers to work hard and experience the hardships and sweetness of labor; And when night falls, she often climbs the mountains alone, looks up at the bright starry sky, and thinks about the true meaning of life.
In addition, she repeatedly read Liu Hulan's manuscripts before her death, trying to dig deeper into the inner world of this heroic daughter. With the passage of time, she gradually realized how great and noble Liu Hulan, as a communist fighter, was her noble, resolute, and enthusiastic spiritual outlook.
Eventually, after months of careful preparation, Chi Huaqiong was convinced that she had fully integrated into the role. During the filming process, she swayed this firm belief and enthusiasm to the fullest, and vividly displayed Liu Hulan's tragic and touching life story on the screen, which made the audience cry.
As soon as the TV series aired, it quickly won rave reviews. Critics have praised Chi Huaqiong for surpassing all the actors who have played Liu Hulan in the past, and interpreting this role vividly, which can be called a real "model of national temperament".
The advent of this work fully demonstrates Chi Huaqiong's successful transformation from a former youth idol to a senior and powerful actor. With its tireless efforts and unswerving persistent pursuit, it has finally won high praise and enthusiastic recognition from the industry and the audience!
