Preface
In this age of looking at faces, do we focus too much on appearance and ignore a person's true talent and strength? The entertainment industry is a place to look at faces, and many female stars have become popular with their good looks and figures.
However, three actresses have used their own experiences to tell us that appearance is not the only criterion for success, strength is the foundation of life.
"The ugliest actress" Qin Hailu: Conquer the audience with her acting skills
Qin Hailu was born into an ordinary working family.
Her parents sent her to study at the opera school in her hometown since she was a child, focusing on Dao Ma Dan.
In order to learn this skill well, the little Qin Hailu endured all the hardships.
Get up on time at 6 a.m. every morning to practice basic skills, followed by singing and somersaults.
Those hard days tempered her strong will.
During the college entrance examination, Qin Hailu's dream was to be admitted to the Chinese Opera Academy.
However, that year, the Academy of Chinese Opera did not admit undergraduates.
By chance, she applied for the Central Academy of Drama.
With a solid foundation in opera, Qin Hailu successfully passed the interview and became a classmate of Zhang Ziyi, Zeng Li, and Yuan Quan.
Appearance has become a stumbling block on Qin Hailu's acting career
During her time in school, Qin Hailu was not outstanding.
A pair of small eyes with single eyelids and a big mouth make him a little lonely in a group of beautiful classmates.
When other classmates have already started to take over the play, Qin Hailu is still running into walls everywhere.
She saw her photo torn up by the interviewer, and at that moment she almost wanted to give up the path of being an actress.
Frustrated, Qin Hailu began to wander around the campus, but it was this experience that gave her the opportunity to change her fate.
In 2001, 23-year-old Qin Hailu won 5 awards including Best Actress and Best Newcomer at the Golden Horse Awards for the role of "Qin Yan" in the movie "Durian Piao", and became famous overnight.
However, the title of "ugliest actress" also follows us.
Qin Hailu's repetition and return
At the award ceremony, Qin Hailu looked a little at a loss.
As a newcomer who has just debuted, she never imagined that she would be able to achieve such an achievement.
But it was this title that gave Qin Hailu great pressure.
She chose to leave the film industry for a while and entered the workplace to become a white-collar worker.
However, after only half a year of work, she was fired.
In the days that followed, Qin Hailu opened a barber shop, a hot pot restaurant, and an advertising company, but business was not very good.
After many failures, she finally understood that she was most suitable for acting.
So, Qin Hailu returned to the film industry.
Prove yourself with your work
After his return, Qin Hailu has starred in many excellent works such as "The Piano of Steel", "Youth Pie", "Red Sorghum", "White Deer Plain" and so on.
She conquered the audience with her superb acting skills, proving that she is not only a "ugliest actress", but also a truly powerful actor.
In terms of private life, Qin Hailu also gained happiness.
She tied the knot with director Wang Xinjun, who was married for the second time, and was spoiled as a little princess after marriage.
In January 2023, the husband and wife's war comedy "Dog Leftover Run" landed on CCTV, and won the first place in the ratings on the first day, once again confirming Qin Hailu's good appeal.
"Big Mouth Queen" Yao Chen: Win respect with word of mouth
Like Qin Hailu, Yao Chen is also an out-and-out "crossover" actor.
At the age of 14, she was selected by the Fuzhou Song and Dance Troupe and became a publicly-funded student at the Beijing Dance Academy.
was supposed to work in the song and dance troupe after graduation, but Yao Chen made a shocking decision: give up the dance he had studied for 10 years and apply for the acting department of Beijing Film Academy instead.
This decision means that Yao Chen will not only have to give up his stable job, but also pay liquidated damages of up to 100,000 yuan.
But Yao Chen, who had a dream of acting, chose Beiying without hesitation.
Relying on the strength of the "counterattack", the achievement of Guo Furong
Most of Beiying's classmates are second-generation stars, either beautiful women like clouds, or they have strong backgrounds.
And Yao Chen only has an ordinary background and a slightly honest face.
In order to make a living, she can only do odd jobs to supplement her family after studying.
In the professional class, Yao Chen became the leader of the class with his excellent skills.
After graduation, her acting career was not smooth.
Until 2006, a "Wulin Gaiden" rewrote her fate.
"Ugliness" is a weapon, dare to face criticism
Yao Chen played "Guo Furong" in the play, and a big mouth became her trademark.
It was this role that made Yao Chen encounter doubts from the outside world: "Can you act with such a big mouth?" In the face of gossip, Yao Chen chose to respond positively: "Why do I look like other female stars?" "
In fact, the reason why Yao Chen was able to get the role of Guo Furong was precisely because the director took a fancy to her "ugly" image.
In a group of voices that are not optimistic about her, Yao Chen has won the love of the audience with his sincere acting skills, and has also successfully created a classic screen image.
From vase to strength, Yao Chen's road to transformation
Although "Wulin Gaiden" gave Yao Chen a taste of popularity, she was not willing to be stereotyped.
Since then, Yao Chen has successively played Shen Cuiping in "Latent", Mango in "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", and Su Mingyu in "It's All Good".
The outstanding performances have allowed the audience to witness her growth, and "Big Mouth" has become her unique label.
Nowadays, the outside world rarely talks about Yao Chen's appearance.
She used her strength to prove that in the world of acting, appearance is never a measure.
In January 2023, the film "Umbilical Cord" produced by Yao Chen won the Best Film Award at the Dhaka Film Festival in Bangladesh, and it also allowed people to see her other style behind the scenes.
"One urine becomes famous" Ren Suxi: Conquer the world with talent
Ren Suxi has a typical "donkey face", with high cheekbones and buckteeth, which is really not advantageous in the entertainment industry.
But before she became famous, her life trajectory was more like an inspirational film.
Ren Suxi was born into an ordinary family of workers.
Despite living on a tight budget, her parents were able to save money for her to study music.
When he was 11 years old, Ren Suxi's father was diagnosed with cancer.
But before he died, he was most concerned about his daughter's future.
After her mother remarried, Ren Suxi lived with her stepfather.
On the eve of the college entrance examination, her mother hoped that she could be admitted to a normal school, but Ren Suxi insisted on applying for the directing department and started her artistic path.
accidentally entered the industry, but his acting skills were recognized
During college, Ren Suxi studied directing, but unexpectedly showed his acting talent in a competition.
She became interested in acting, only to find that none of the directors wanted to use her.
Despite this, Ren Suxi did not give up.
She began to take the initiative to participate in various auditions and interviews.
Finally, in 2016, Ren Suxi passed the audition and successfully joined the crew of the movie "Donkey Gets Water".
This black humor film gave Ren Suxi a stage to show himself.
"Nobody" and "Half a Comedy", Ren Suxi ushered in the peak of his career
In 2018, Ren Suxi ushered in the highlight moment of his career.
She first played a down-and-out screenwriter paralyzed in bed in the movie "The Nameless".
The heart-rending "incontinence" scene in the film made all the audience remember this "donkey face".
In the same year, "Half a Comedy" directed by Feng Xiaogang was released.
Ren Suxi once again won the Huading Award and the Golden Rooster Award with her sincere and moving performance, officially ushering in the transformation from a dragon set to a movie queen.
The title of "Donkey Face Queen" has also become the best footnote to her strength from the outside world.
跨界开唱,任素汐展现多重魅力
After becoming famous, Ren Suxi did not stop, she began to try to develop in the field of music.
She has successively sung many popular songs such as "Wang Zhaojun" and "Childhood", showing her multiple charms as a talented woman.
In 2022, Ren Suxi once again received affirmation, and successively won the Tencent Starlight Awards for TV Drama Role of the Year, China News Weekly Influential Person of the Year and other honors.
From an unknown young actor to a high-profile powerhouse, Ren Suxi used her experience to interpret what it means to "life needs to be practiced, and dreams are big or small".
