What is the story of Chen Minzheng in history?

Mr. Chen Minzheng is a famous film and television modeling designer, a famous modeling artist, and the founder of Hanzheng modeling.

Chen Minzheng, a famous Chinese stylist, has won high praise for his outstanding looks in costume dramas such as "Water Margin", "Burning Afang Palace" and "Genghis Khan". In 2019, Chen Minzheng teamed up with Zhang Yimou to show his extraordinary talent in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the Bird's Nest version of "Turandot" and "Three Shots Surprise".

When I was a child in school, the teacher said that this child was very beautiful, so he asked you to perform, perform programs, rehearsals, and promote on the streets, and then there was a troupe in Jinan, Shandong Province that was recruiting students, and then he should have been selected as a dancer, so in December 1970, he was equivalent to a formal job, which was equivalent to a student of the troupe. I also treasure a photo of 30 years ago, this is when I played "Sha Jiabang" 30 years ago, this is just to the troupe, at that time in the practice of dance, dance practice for six years, suddenly one day when I was practicing, I found that there was a flower in front of me, and then I found that there was a little problem with my eyes, after I went to the hospital, the doctor said what was the situation, it was very scary, but since then, I want to borrow this strength and don't like dancing very much, because I grew up, after the age of sixteen or seven, I took the dance, joking, I said why people always danced in the back and sang in the front, so I didn't like that profession anymore, so I decided to retreat behind the scenes. When I was an actor when I was a child, I always helped other actors make up, and the makeup was relatively good, and the teacher said, you might as well do this job is more suitable for you, at that time, I was obedient, and I did whatever the teacher arranged for you to do, so since then, it seems that in October of 1976, I began to study makeup.

In 1981, Chen Minzheng had five years of makeup experience and participated in the creation of many stage plays. In 1981, the Central Academy of Drama recruited advanced classes, I heard a friend talk about such a thing, I was very excited when I talked about such a thing, I wanted to go, and I didn't know it, because in Shandong, I was very presumptuous to write a letter to the teacher, I was afraid that the teacher would not give a reply, and I also stuffed a stamp in it, and I wanted the teacher to see it without breaking the bank, and I could reply to myself directly. The enthusiasm turned into an unbearable wait, and for Chen Minzheng, this letter was full of young people's hopes for the future. I didn't expect that our homeroom teacher, Mr. Li Dequan, was very serious and enthusiastic, and I received a letter from the teacher a week after I sent the letter. The simple and sincere words deeply moved the teachers of Chinese opera. Li Dequan said: "He wrote very earnestly, and when I read this letter, I felt that this child was very hearted. Chen Min walked into the gate of the Central Academy of Drama as he wished. At that time, after we entered the school, it was a year and ten months, in fact, it was ten months of an academic year, and we were in class almost every day, and we had ten classmates and seven teachers teaching us, so the feeling at that time was that we were surrounded and surrounded by a group of teachers, that is, they were teaching you every day, for fear that you would not be able to learn, so the whole whole school was from morning to evening, and we were studying almost every day for a year.

This is the last group photo of myself when I studied at the Central Academy of Drama 28 years ago, some of the shapes, in fact, it seems to be quite fun now, you look at this one, take it down yourself, this photo, this photo is a female classmate of our class, Marx at that time, I had a small regret at that time, after putting on this makeup, our teacher praised himself, said Minzheng, you did a good job, it can be said that it is very good, I was at that time, I may have been young, I didn't say thank you to the teacher for the praise or anything.,Hehe.,Passed with a smirk.、In fact, I still remember the scene at that time.。 A year passed quickly, Chen Minzheng and his classmates completed the refresher course with excellent results, when Beijing's major theater troupes and film and television institutions heard the news, like this group of rare talents threw an olive branch, which is indeed a big temptation for Chen Minzheng, who is eager to display his talents. As the first session or more attention, there are a lot of troupes, a lot of units, just say that this group of students is very good, just say I also asked, do you want to go to our side, and then one of my concepts at that time is that because I am paid for further study, the unit has to give itself a subsidy every month, so I feel that the unit sent me over, I should report the work of the unit, so I didn't think about anything, and went back to our original unit directly. At that time, the creation of domestic film and television dramas was still in its infancy, and the film and television makeup staff were even more rare talents. "Water Margin" has an indissoluble relationship, in fact, when I was studying in Chinese opera, I seemed to have a hunch that I started reading novels and watching "Water Margin" at that time, and after reading it, they were really filming "Water Margin", which is the earliest version, which should be called the 1983 version and the 1983 version of Shandong TV's "Water Margin" serial. At that time, acting was not like now, now the TV series is doing very quickly, and it allows you to react quickly in an instant, you have to have a lot of accumulation, a kind of catharsis in an instant, and you make this look within a few days; At that time, when we were doing "Water Margin", we first had to invite experts to tell you some of the history and humanistic features of the Song Dynasty, especially "The Riverside Map of the Qingming Festival". The rigorous and slow filming process also gave Chen Minzheng plenty of time to explore the doorway of film and television makeup styling. And I remember it very well at that time, once your design drawings were approved by the director, the whole play would find the actors according to your design drawings, and they would follow the drawings, and almost all of them were very similar to the drawings after they were retrieved. Chen Minzheng's meticulous and bold creation has been unanimously recognized by the whole crew, and he has created Liangshan 108 to be shaped, vivid and distinct, and the makeup does not leave flaws, which is a rare model of modeling in film and television works at that time. Those shots seem a little ridiculous at times now, but the characters of "Water Margin" after filming were almost empty after they were broadcast at that time. The success of the TV series "Water Margin" made Chen Minzheng famous and laid the cornerstone for his future development. After the production of our version was completed, when the Central Television version of "Water Margin" was looking for a stylist, I preferred the version of "Song Jiang" that I did back then, and then called our unit to ask, asked who made this version and what his name was, and after reading the subtitles, we said who it was, and then we wanted to invite him to come, I was filming in Yantai at the time, and I knew that they were coaxing me for a long time, so I asked our leaders if they could go, then I will definitely let you go, so I happily ran to Beijing, also joined the film crew, also began to prepare the script, and also did the desk, and did it for nearly 40 days. Just as Chen Min was gearing up and preparing to use his fists again, the unit called him and asked him to go back immediately, which was undoubtedly a basin of cold water smashed on his head and head in the past three or nine days. So I ran back to Shandong very reluctantly, and I reluctantly ran back to Shandong, and I thought that I was doing work and trying to let myself come, but after I went back, I saw that the real working conditions and specific modeling were indeed problematic, so I gave Zhang Jizhong, he was the production director at the time, and I called him at the time, and I said Mr. Zhang, I said I'm sorry, this play can't be played, that's not good, when Mr. Zhang went out to choose the location and was injured, he said I was lame, I went to move your leaders. In the end, Chen Minzheng still regretted missing the filming of the CCTV version of "Water Margin", and since then, Chen Minzheng has participated in the creation of many film and television dramas, creating countless popular screen images, and the growth of experience and memory has also made him famous in the circle, but in his heart, "Water Margin" is still a touch of concern that he cannot let go, and this is twenty-six years. In 2009, the filming of the new version of "Water Margin" started, and Chen Minzheng joined the crew as expected, but how to surpass the brilliance he created 26 years ago has become Chen Minzheng's biggest thinking, which is also a challenge to himself. At that time, when I was filming the version of "Water Margin", according to the technology and conditions at that time, it was more realistic, and the realism was to look at the pictorial and watch the hair comb to this position, okay, all of them were combed here, and there should be a piece of cloth on the head, so after decades of practice, I came to a conclusion that in fact, as a work of art, it can also be combed up, backward, or not.

It is not an easy task to surpass oneself, in the process of creation, Chen Minzheng denied himself again and again, repeatedly asked himself various questions, and his production team was always satisfied with all his unbelievable ideas. Not only to satisfy his own ideas, but also to fit the director and the concept of the script, Chen Min is slowly seeking a balance between the two, looking for the creative direction of the new version of "Water Margin".

So how to rack your brains to break through, don't think about it, because you have 30 years of experience, how many times have you renovated the previous technology, you have forgotten the previous ideas, you are now picking it up, when you actually do these things, there are a lot of emotional things, some of the design plans you do in advance, in fact, when you try on the actual operation, many of them are different, when an actor sits here and sees him, he will have different inspirations. After 26 years of changes, the audience's aesthetics and concepts have undergone earth-shaking changes, in today's film and television dramas, idol effects and the use of stunts have become an important factor in whether the work is sold or not, Chen Minzheng has gone through trial and error, boldly integrated the elements of animation and games into the characters, and vividly expressed the handsomeness, handsomeness and beauty of the main actors in the play, creating a version of Liangshan 108 generals belonging to this era. For example, if you do this style for Zhang Hanyu, you basically write it according to the novel, but Song Jiang written in the novel should be a black and fat man, but if Zhang Hanyu plays this role, the fat man can't say it, you borrow his strength, for example, stick this sideburns back a little, the beard becomes a little smaller, does the face look a little bigger, you borrow a force, because now after all, when the audience is appreciating a work, they are also appreciating an actor, how to let Zhang Hanyu, he play Guzidi, How to get him out of there like Song Jiang is a crucial one.

So you don't have to think about it in particular, oops, Zhang Hanyu I'm going to change him, you don't have to change it, the characters themselves live in different eras, so after mastering these things, when you make a model, you almost don't need to think about it anymore, how do I avoid my previous things, make a new thing, and what I think comes easily is what you feel now.
