Basking in the sunny May, I came to this high-end nursing home in the bustling area of downtown Wuhan with infinite admiration.
As the earliest representative of the chubby beauty in Chinese mainland, Ms. Pu Chaoying was all the rage in the eighties and nineties of the last century, and was praised as the "Pearl River Beauty", and her influence spread throughout the country and even the world.
Even though time has inexorably left traces of time on her cheeks, when I walked into the reception room and saw the old lady with silver hair, I could still get a glimpse of the glorious demeanor of the past from her gentle and elegant temperament.
Ms. Pu Chaoying sat upright on the upholstered chair, her kind eyes shining with wisdom.
She seemed to be well prepared, and after I greeted her respectfully and explained my intentions, she slowly began her journey of reminiscences.
"I think at the beginning, I was the chief actress of Zhujiang Film Studio!" Ms. Pu Chaoying said proudly, "Although my figure is not as slim as today's young girls, my unique slightly chubby body shape and rounded and smooth body lines can always exude a different kind of charm on the big screen."
However, her words suddenly became a little muffled: "Unfortunately, now that I have entered my old age, I can only play the role of an elder such as a grandmother or mother-in-law on the screen."
However, no matter how my appearance changes, I will always maintain my inner elegance and calmness.
"I was born in an ordinary working family in Wuhan, and my family was not wealthy." Ms. Pu Chaoying began to say affectionately, "However, I have been full of interest and love for the performing arts since I was a child.
Despite the family's financial situation at the time, my parents did their best to support me in studying dance at the Wuhan People's Theatre.
Ms. Pu Chaoying's eyes reveal a firm conviction, as if returning to that youthful era: "Five years of hard training not only shaped my beautiful dancing, but more importantly, it cultivated my extreme attention to detail and endless pursuit of perfection."
It is this persistent pursuit of art that has laid a solid foundation for my future acting career.
"Ahh Looking back, the glorious years of those years are still vivid! "As early as the early 1980s, with my incomparable appearance and profound stage skills, I successfully attracted the attention of the famous Pearl River Film Factory, and since then I have stepped into the door of the film industry. ”
"As my first work, I had the privilege of participating in the film 'Beautiful Girl'." Pu Chaoying puffed up his chest proudly, "In this film, I played a female character with a pungent personality and a delicate body, which showed my slightly plump but youthful and energetic figure at that time.
She couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, waving her hands in the air: "At that time, I was warmly welcomed by people everywhere, and I would attract countless amazing eyes wherever I went.
"In 1988, I was fortunate to co-star with Wang Luyao and Zhang Yanli, two popular actresses, in the TV series "Three Beauties in Troubled Times". Pu Chaoying said slowly, "The play tells the ups and downs of the fate of three women in the context of turbulent times.
All three of us have succeeded in portraying women with their own characteristics."
Pu Chaoying hooked his hands behind his head, and his expression instantly became elegant and calm: "In the play, I play a rouge girl with a peerless style, dressed gorgeously and charmingly, with dignified and generous manners, and cautious, witty, mature and steady when handling affairs.
The whole person is like a blooming hibiscus flower, delicate but never kitsch."
She came back to her senses, her eyes full of pride: "This role undoubtedly shows my chubby but elegant unique temperament to the fullest, leaving an extremely deep impression on the audience."
"However, I am convinced that the 1993 film of 'Love in the Pearl River' was an important milestone in my career as an actor." Pu Chaoying's expression was serious, and he changed his previous triumph, "That drama vividly depicts the hardships experienced by a group of young people on the road to entrepreneurship in the early days of reform and opening up.
In the play, the villain I play, Tan Rong, is a cunning, sinister, mercenary woman."
She paused for a moment, as if sorting out a complex of thoughts: "However, she is not a simple antagonist, she also shines with humanity. ”
Pu Chao English said earnestly: "This character is extremely rich, I put my heart and soul into it, and successfully showed all aspects of Tan Rong's complex character, which is both insidious and cunning, but also a little pitiful."
My performance was well received in the industry, and I finally won myself the supreme honor of Best Supporting Actress at the Feitian Award that year!
Pu Chaoying, the veteran actor, sighed with a little regret: "Now that I have entered my old age, I can only play elder roles such as grandmother or mother-in-law on the screen."
However, no matter how the years change, the grace and calmness in my heart will live forever."
I can't help but think back to another famous actor from the same period as Pu Chaoying - Wang Lin. Diametrically opposed to Pu Chaoying's choice, Wang Lin still maintains a beautiful body line, is deeply loved by fans, and is affectionately called "Wang Da Hammer".
Pu Chaoying saw the confusion in my eyes and smiled slightly: "Indeed, there is a strong contrast between me and Wang Lin. It is really commendable that she can maintain such a perfect figure.
However, I think that for a true actor, excellent acting skills and noble personality are the most important factors."
Her expression was serious and serious, but she did not boast at all: "I am the actress who once won the title of 'Pearl River Beauty', and I am still proud of that unique temperament and persistent pursuit of art."
