In 1978, Yan Danchen was born in Xiangtan, Hunan Province, a city full of artistic atmosphere. Her father was the president of the union in a local silk factory and was dutiful; And my mother is a strict and meticulous accountant who works hard.
Due to his parents' very busy careers, Yan Danchen has lived with his kind and loving grandmother since he was a child.
During the Anti-Japanese War, my grandmother once climbed mountains and waded through rivers with the army, served as a marching nurse, and was a determined, decisive, independent and self-reliant woman. Recalling those difficult days, she would always deeply teach her granddaughter Yan Danchen to say: "As a woman, you must be financially independent, and you must not rely too much on men to make ends meet."
Grandma's decisive, brave, tenacious and unyielding qualities have left a deep imprint on Yan Danchen's heart.
Under the earnest teachings of his grandmother, Yan Danchen has formed an independent thinking and assertive personality since he was a child. She looked out the window at the carefree children playing, although deep down she also longed for that freedom, but whenever she looked back and saw her mother's stern eyes, she would silently return to the piano and continue to practice those seemingly monotonous and boring music.
Despite her busy work, Yan Danchen's parents still attach great importance to her art education. They arranged accordion, piano and other art classes for Yan Danchen since she was a child, so that she received strict artistic training.
The difficulty of piano learning can only be deeply felt by those who have experienced it firsthand.
Many of the "big names" who later became well-known musicians were able to persevere under the strict requirements of their parents. Yan Danchen is the same, although he is still young, he has already tasted the taste of hard work.
However, many years later, when she really stepped into the entertainment industry, she suddenly understood that her parents' original decision was out of careful consideration, hoping that their daughter would be able to endure hardships and stand hard work in the future and adapt to society.
Time flies, and Yan Danchen ushered in the critical moment of graduating from middle school in a blink of an eye. With excellent grades, she was successfully admitted to the Hunan Provincial Art School, where she spent several years of colorful campus life.
It stands to reason that according to the provisions of the distribution system, Yan Danchen can easily get a stable and worry-free job. However, at this important juncture in her life, she fell into confusion and hesitation.
Facing the crossroads of life, is it to continue to chase lofty dreams and pursue higher academic attainments? Or is it brave to step into the torrent of society and start a new chapter in life? Just when Yan Danchen was full of ambition, her mother gave her invaluable life advice: "Dear child, if you choose an art school for further study, you will have a broader space for development; However, once you enter the workforce, your life path may become stagnant and set in stone.
Yan Danchen thought deeply about his mother's earnest teachings, and finally strengthened his belief and resolutely decided to apply for the Beijing Film Academy, a top art school. In 1996, with her excellent exam results, she was successfully admitted to this school and became close friends with outstanding students such as Chen Kun, He Lin, and Guo Xiaodong.
The moment he first entered the Nortel campus, Yan Danchen attracted the attention of countless people. She is beautiful, tall and straight, exuding a unique elegance between her gestures, and her smile is as delicate and moving as a blooming flower in spring.
Chen Kun, a classmate, looked at this pure and flawless girl, and his heart was full of yearning.
However, for the field of acting, Yan Danchen is a complete newcomer. Most of her classmates had already accumulated a lot of stage experience before enrolling, but she didn't know anything about it.
What's more serious is that Nortel has strict rules for freshmen: during their freshman and sophomore years, students are not allowed to participate in any performance activities.
Despite the difficulties, Yan Danchen never lost heart. In order to quickly master the acting skills, she has always maintained a humble and studious attitude, actively communicated and discussed with her classmates, and devoted herself to various rehearsal training.
Seeing this girl's unremitting efforts, the mentor Cui Xinqin was full of emotion: "Yan Danchen is like an uncarved piece of jade, we must devote all our efforts to carefully polishing and guiding her."
In 2003, when the famous director Zhang Jizhong planned to remake the classic martial arts drama "Dragon Babu", the role of "Wang Yuyan" in the play attracted widespread attention. Yan Danchen has won many favors with his outstanding appearance and superb acting skills, and is regarded as one of the most potential candidates.
However, it is a pity that Yan Danchen failed to play the role of "Wang Yuyan" as he wished. Maybe it's because Li Ruotong's version is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and unforgettable; There may have been some other factors, but all in all, she missed out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If Yan Danchen could successfully win the challenging role of "Wang Yuyan", his acting career would definitely move to a higher peak. However, she resolutely does not regret her choice.
It is a pity to miss the opportunity of "Wang Yuyan", but Yan Danchen's acting career has not fallen silent. In 2004, she was fortunate to co-star with Liu Xiaoqing, Jiang Wen and other powerful actors in the costume masterpiece "The Long River Flows East", in which she created the popular role of "Chen Yuanyuan".
Looking back on the long river of history, what kind of stunning beauty and temperament does the popular sentence "rush to the crown and be angry for a red face" need to make Wu Sangui willing to give up the splendid country just to win a smile from the beauty? When we stared at Yan Danchen's interpretation of Chen Yuanyuan, we couldn't help but be shocked in our hearts! With her excellent acting skills and moving appearance, she has won praise from the audience and is known as the best spokesperson for the role of Chen Yuanyuan.
In 2005, Yan Danchen and Shu Chang co-starred in the costume mythological drama "Jingwei Reclamation". Although Shu Chang served as the heroine, Yan Danchen's performance in the play was also wonderful, and his appearance surpassed Shu Chang.
Shu Chang's character is full of aura and vitality, while Yan Danchen shows a different kind of charm with his unique persistence and simplicity.
Just as the show was on the air, Yan Danchen once again ushered in a glorious moment in his career. She was invited to join "Baolian Lantern" starring Jiao Enjun, and successfully created the eternal classic image of "Chang'e".
Since ancient times, Chang'e has been known as a symbol of beauty, known as "the first beauty in heaven" Since the day of broadcasting, Yan Danchen has quickly swept thousands of families and become the "white moonlight" in the minds of the audience, and even surpassed Chen Hong, who had starred in Chang'e, and was honored as one of the contemporary "Four Little Famous Dans".
With the reputation of "the most beautiful Chang'e", Yan Danchen has won the favor of many well-known directors. However, at this critical moment, she made a remarkable decision - to reduce the filming of costume dramas and devote herself to the creation of modern dramas instead.
She is well aware that if she is overly addicted to the filming of the same type of drama, although she can increase her popularity, it will also limit her personal development space and repeat the mistake of "genre constraints". The lessons of the past made her vigilant that she must not let her career fall into a standstill.
In 1997, Yan Danchen got the first representative role opportunity in his career - a superb performance in the children's film "Carrying Dad to School". In order to fully reflect the inner emotional world of the characters, she went deep into the archetypal family and shared weal and woe with them.
In the scorching heat of summer, her originally silky skin became as dark as a charcoal fire, and the image she displayed was no different from that of a rural girl through and through.
Yan Danchen's hard work has finally been duly rewarded. After the release of this movie, she won the "Tong Niu Award" for Best Adult Actor with her excellent acting skills.
In the same year, she made her debut in the TV series "Flower Season, Rainy Season", and won the Best Newcomer Award at the Huabiao Awards that year, becoming the first student in the 96-level Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy to win this award.
However, although she has won many honors, Yan Danchen's popularity is still a little insignificant compared to those actors who quickly became popular because of their role in "Huanzhu Gege".
This is mainly due to the fact that in the entertainment industry, success does not only depend on the quality of the work, but also is affected by many uncontrollable factors, such as scandals, resources, background, etc., which are precisely what Yan Danchen lacks.
After graduating from Beijing Film Academy, Yan Danchen originally hoped to devote himself to the creation of rural themes and period dramas. However, the film companies were quickly attracted by her beautiful appearance and pushed her to the stage of costume dramas.
Since then, her career has been like a bamboo, and she has starred in many well-received costume dramas.
In 2001, Yan Danchen played the role of Concubine Yang in "Love History of the Tang Dynasty" directed by Gong Ruofei. Although there are not many scenes, her beauty has won warm praise from the audience after the series was broadcast.
In 2004, she was fortunate to co-star with Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen, two powerful actors, in the costume drama "The Long River Flows East".
However, although Yan Danchen has made great achievements in the field of costume dramas, she has always maintained a clear head. She knows that if she is overly addicted to the filming of the same type of drama, it will definitely limit her own development.
Therefore, in 2006, she began to gradually reduce the filming of costume dramas and devote herself to the creation of dramas, although this decision did not attract much attention at the time.
From her teenage years to today's middle-aged women, Yan Danchen has always bravely challenged herself and sought breakthroughs and progress! She knows that as an actor, as long as she plays the role she plays, she will definitely be able to gain the respect of the public; As long as her acting skills are solid, excellent directors will also find her shine.
Therefore, even though time flies and time flies, she has not been troubled by the so-called "mid-life crisis" when she has entered the middle-aged stage, but has faced all kinds of ups and downs in life with an extremely calm and calm attitude.
