1. Precious memories: I wish Xinyun a bright childhood
Back in the early 70s of the last century, in the scorching summer, the whole Beijing was talking about an 8-year-old boy - wishing the new luck. It was he who successfully played the role of the Red Army soldier "Pan Dongzi" in the revolutionary film "Shining Red Star", and became a well-known star hot spot, and his deeds and laughter can be heard everywhere! .
When the crew decided on the role, some people suggested that Zhu Xinyun may be more than smart and clever, but he is slightly immature, which is different from the simple temperament of "Pan Dongzi". However, the chief director Li Jun firmly stated: "Why can't the descendants of the Red Army have a smart appearance? Therefore, I wish Xinyun was able to play this role smoothly and showed extraordinary acting skills.
During the filming process, although the young Zhu Xinyun faced many challenges, he always maintained a professional attitude, and deeply moved the audience with his full mental outlook, clear eyes and lively and lovely image.
Some attentive fans observed that whether it was following adults through the rain of bullets in the film, or wittily observing the enemy situation on the battlefield, Zhu Xinyun's performance seemed very natural and smooth.
As soon as the film was released, it immediately aroused enthusiastic responses across the country. The cute photos of Zhu Xinyun wearing the uniform of the Red Army have become a star baby that thousands of families are vying to collect.
Even our great leader, Mao Zedong, sent a golden mango to express his admiration for him.
"The red star shines brightly/The red star shines and warms the heart/The Red Army is the heart of our workers and peasants/The party's glory shines on the ...... of all generations" The theme song has a passionate melody, and the lyrics are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, singing the common emotions of countless audiences.
Whenever there are planes flying over Beijing, Zhu Xinyun will firmly believe that they are for themselves; Whenever a foreign dignitary comes to visit, he will definitely be arranged to perform a singing performance, and since then he has become a veritable star baby.
Zhu Xinyun's influence is not only because he has become an idol in the hearts of the audience, but also because of the far-reaching influence he has bringed. Once he went to Nanchang for a condolence performance, but before he arrived at the station, he was already surrounded by enthusiastic fans, and the scene was very lively.
Only 200 copies of the film were made in total, and nine were sold in the capital, Beijing, which is enough to see how popular it was. Zhu Xinyun's name is everywhere and has won unprecedented attention and love.
From the moment he stepped into Bayi Film Studio, he seized the opportunity and actively participated in many popular masterpieces such as "Saari Make", "Ganshui Boundless" and "Ten Days", successfully creating a series of vivid and lively images of children and teenagers, once leading the child star boom in the 70s of the last century!
2. Trough and trouble: struggling to survive in the dilemma of narrow drama road
Time passes, child stars will eventually face growth, and Zhu Xinyun is no exception. In 1980, at the age of 18, he was selected by Bayi Film Studio to study at the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, thus embarking on a new journey as an adult actor.
However, good times are always short-lived. Zhu Xinyun's acting career soon encountered a bottleneck. His round baby face and large bright eyes were his unique charm in childhood, but in adulthood they became a stumbling block to his development.
This lack of mature male charm in appearance makes his acting career as an actor extremely limited.
In the following years, Zhu Xinyun only participated in the filming of a handful of films such as "Fluttering Golden Wings", "Lightning Action" and "Blackface Son-in-law", and failed to achieve satisfactory results and responses.
What's worse is that when the unit was preparing for a new film, many directors politely declined to use Zhu Xinyun, believing that his appearance was limited and it was difficult for him to play an important role.
For a professional actor, a long period of no scenes to shoot is undoubtedly a heavy blow. Zhu Xinyun fell into unprecedented confusion and pain, and he often sat in a dark room all night, crying alone, full of confusion and anxiety about the future.
During the filming of "Blackface Son-in-law", a makeup artist named Zhang Lingya was keenly aware of Zhu Xinyun's introverted and kind personality, and took the initiative to establish contact and interact with him.
Zhang Lingya is 3 years older than Zhu Xinyun, originally a dancer, but has just changed careers to work as a makeup artist, and her business is still jerky.
One day, she wanted to try her hand at making a mold and needed to find a suitable model, but both actors politely declined for various reasons. Zhu Xinyun stepped forward, although the mold was close to his face and made it difficult for him to breathe, he had no complaints, and Zhang Lingya was deeply moved by his kindness.
On the other hand, Zhang Lingya's elegant and generous temperament also made Zhu Xinyun feel admiration. After the crew finished, the two fell in love. This sister-brother relationship was strongly opposed by both families, but Zhu Xinyun firmly said: "I only love Zhang Lingya in this life, and I am willing to tie the knot with her!" Eventually, both families were moved by their genuine feelings.
3. Love chapter: Meet the beautiful and virtuous wife Zhang Lingya
In 1987, Zhu Xinyun met and got to know Zhang Lingya, the makeup artist of the crew, during the filming of the movie "Blackface Son-in-law", and this beautiful relationship opened a new chapter in their lives.
Zhang Lingya, a woman who is three years older than Zhu Xinyun, has experienced a regrettable marriage. However, she quickly noticed that Zhu Xinyun was introverted and taciturn, but deep down she was full of sincerity and kindness.
So, she took the initiative to establish contact with him and carry out in-depth exchanges and interactions.
She was originally active on stage as a dancer, but when she just changed careers to become a makeup artist, her skills were still jerky. One day, she had the idea of making a mold for a sculpting mask, but was frustrated by finding the right model.
The two actors politely declined, at this time, Zhu Xinyun stepped forward and accepted the challenge without hesitation, although the mold fit tightly to his face, making it difficult for him to breathe, but he never showed any complaints, Zhang Lingya was moved by Zhu Xinyun's selfless dedication, and her admiration for him arose spontaneously.
On the other hand, Zhang Lingyan's beautiful, dignified, mature and generous temperament also deeply attracted Zhu Xinyun. With the successful completion of the filming of the movie, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up, and finally decided to enter the palace of marriage hand in hand.
However, their sister-brother relationship was strongly opposed by both families, especially Zhu Xinyun's parents and brother, who couldn't understand why such an excellent son chose a divorced woman as a partner.
However, Zhu Xinyun and Zhang Lingya's true love finally won everyone's respect In 1990, they held a grand wedding in the capital Beijing, and began a new life journey.
Part 4: A good wife and mother, fully supporting her husband's career revival
The days after marriage were not easy, and the couple's life was quite difficult. They can only live in the small space allocated to the unit, a small bungalow of only 10 square meters, and their life is extremely inconvenient, even simple cooking is difficult to achieve, and they can only rely on the canteen for three meals a day.
Despite such a harsh living environment, Zhang Lingya has always stood firmly by her husband Zhu Xinyun's side and given him endless support and love. Whenever she went out to be busy, Zhu Xinyun waited alone at home, sitting in a dark room all night, feeling lost and confused about the future development direction.
However, as soon as Zhang Lingya returned home, she was always able to patiently comfort her husband and encourage him to rebuild his confidence.
In order to allow Zhu Xinyun to devote himself to his studies, Zhang Lingya resolutely took on all the housework. Every day, she carefully selects food from the cafeteria and takes it home, so as to save more time for Zhu Xin to use in his studies.
Sometimes, when Zhu Xinyun was in trouble due to excessive work pressure, Zhang Lingya would buy all kinds of director-related books and encourage her husband to improve his ability through self-study.

Just when "Ballistic Without a Trace" was about to officially start filming, Zhu Xinyun's mother was suddenly admitted to the hospital due to a heart attack. In the face of such an unexpected situation, Zhang Lingya chose to silently take on the responsibility of taking care of her mother-in-law, and she did not inform her husband, who was in intense preparations, so as not to affect his work status.
Instead, she chose to go to the hospital alone and take care of her mother-in-law's daily life wholeheartedly.
In the days of the crew, Zhu Xinyun won praise from all parties for his outstanding performance. Since then, he has not only continued to work as an actor, but also actively tried to work as a director, voice actor, and even hosted a show on a TV station.
All these achievements are inseparable from the careful teaching and careful cultivation of his wife Zhang Lingya
In 2004, Zhang Lingya once again won an important performance opportunity for Zhu Xinyun - playing the role of "Ren Bishi" in the TV series "Eighth Route Army".

Director Dong recalled Zhu Xinyun's cute baby face, although he did not give a direct affirmative answer at the time, he still invited Zhu Xinyun to come to try it on. Early the next morning, the couple arrived at the crew early, and Zhang Lingya carefully made up and hairstyled her husband, making him look like "Ren Bishi".
When Director Dong saw Zhu Xinyun's appearance, he immediately decided that he would play this role.

However, suddenly came the bad news that her mother was hospitalized due to an accidental fracture, but Zhang Lingya chose to bear all this silently, and she personally sent her mother-in-law to the hospital to deal with all the tedious matters alone.
When Zhu Xinyun stepped into the house again, he witnessed his wife's hard work, and his heart was filled with deep gratitude.
