In "Embroidered Spring Knife 2", the role of Ding Baiying, played by the international 33-year-old Xin Zhilei, showed her arrogance and coldness with her cold eyes and neat movements, and countless audiences were amazed. The scene in the film where Ding Baiying cuts off the enemy's weapon with one knife left a deep impression on the audience.
When the enemy's knife is about to swing down, the heroine Ding Baiying, played by Xin Zhilei, closes her eyes tightly, as if she is welcoming the judgment of fate. However, just at the last moment, she drew her backhand knife and blocked the enemy's attack with lightning speed.
Immediately afterwards, she squatted sideways, clutched the hilt of the knife with both hands, and with a gorgeous turn, she cut off the enemy's weapon, which not only showed Ding Baiying's martial arts, but also reflected Xin Zhilei's amazing explosiveness and acting talent.
Xin Zhilei's outstanding performance in this scene made her gain a firm foothold in martial arts dramas, and won the reputation of "smashing the heroine's martial arts dream with one knife". Many viewers and film critics believe that Xin Zhilei's performance has set a new benchmark for actresses to play martial arts roles.
However, on the road to acting, it has never been smooth sailing. When Xin Zhilei received the role of Begonia Blossom in "Celebrating More Than Years", she faced a new challenge. The 180-degree transformation from a chivalrous girl to a "village girl" not only tested Xin Zhilei's acting skills, but also challenged the audience's acceptance.
Faced with this character whose appearance is completely different from that of previous roles, Xin Zhilei did not flinch. She knows very well that in this era of looking at faces, she is no longer young at the age of 33, and the role of Begonia Blossom just needs her to show a charm completely different from the past.
With her enthusiasm for the actor's profession and her understanding of the role, Xin Zhilei decided to interpret this "village girl" version of the Northern Qi saintess wonderfully.
From Ding Baiying to Begonia Blossoms, Xin Zhilei has strongly proved with her own strength that an excellent actor is not bound by a single role type. Her acting career, like the role she plays, is full of changes and challenges, which have become the embodiment of her multifaceted nature as an actress and the source of her continuous growth.
When the first season of "Celebrating More Than Years" was broadcast, the shape of the begonia played by Xin Zhilei surprised most viewers. She successfully portrayed this Northern Qi saintess into a completely subversive of the public's traditional assumption of the "saintess", which is unimaginable.
She has a rustic headscarf wrapped around her head, a rough vegetable basket in her hand, her demeanor is lazy, her words and deeds are casual, and she looks like a village girl, which is far from the noble and elegant saint in the audience's mind, which caused a lot of controversy for a while.
However, the image of the begonia blossoms depicted in the original book is exactly that. In the process of screenwriting, the author personally verified this setting, emphasizing that Begonia Blossom is to present the appearance of a "village girl".
With her superb acting skills, Xin Zhilei successfully portrayed this seemingly contradictory character, her eyes are sometimes lazy, sometimes sharp; The action seems random, but it hides a mystery.
In the process of interacting with Fan Xian, especially when they met for the first time, Xin Zhilei showed her rich and complex inner world with the role of Begonia Blossom. When the two first met, they were still in hostile camps, and even fought.
At this time, Begonia Duoduo wielded two axes, and seriously injured a nine-rank archer as soon as she struck, showing a strong strength that did not match her appearance However, when Fan Xian successfully persuaded Begonia Duoduo to form an alliance with him with his three-inch tongue, she quickly switched to a lazy state, as if the fierceness just now was just a flash in the pan.
In the scene of Xin Zhilei in the capital of Northern Qi, the multi-faceted nature of the begonia flowers is vividly displayed. In the court, she was dignified and polite, looking like a saint; After the next court, she immediately returned to her original laziness, her hands were in her sleeves, and the shoes on her feet were drooping, showing the true colors of "village girl".
This contrast not only did not affect the audience's love for the begonias, but added to the fun and three-dimensional sense of the characters.
It is worth mentioning that 33-year-old Xin Zhilei did not hesitate to "sacrifice" her appearance in order to meet the role setting. The audience can clearly see that her face in the first season is a little baby fat, and with that rustic dress, she is more like a "village girl".
This kind of professionalism that does not care about personal image has won unanimous praise from the audience and the crew.
Time flies, and five years have passed in a flash. When "Celebrating More Than Years 2" was launched, 38-year-old Xin Zhilei shocked everyone again. The "village girl" begonia has been transformed into a heroic "chivalrous girl".
This change is not only reflected in the character setting, but also in the transformation of Xin Zhilei's own image.
In the second season, the shape of the begonia blossoms has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the purple and black power outfits have replaced the previous rustic clothing, and the overall look is more capable and sassy.
Xin Zhilei's eyes are also more fierce than before, and her gestures reveal the charm of mature women, especially at the end of the second season, the scene where she uses the "ancestral" vegetable basket to press Yun Zhilan's bamboo pole shows the strength and agility of the character.
However, what is even more amazing is the change of Xin Zhilei herself. In five years, she seems to go back to the clock, not only has it not been worn out by time, but it has become more and more charming. Her face is less baby fat and more tough, and her whole person looks more delicate.
This transformation makes people sigh: is she the legendary "anti-aging goddess"?
Xin Zhilei's five-year transformation is not only in appearance, but also in her acting skills, and her control of the role is also more refined. In "Celebrating More Than Years 2", the begonia duo she played showed her strong strength as soon as she appeared, and the scene of subduing the master of the nine products in one move made the audience addicted.
At the same time, her interaction with Fan Xian is also more natural and smooth, and the chemistry between the two almost overflows from the screen.
It is particularly worth mentioning that Xin Zhilei's "chivalrous" style in "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" and the begonia blossom shape in "Celebrating More Than Years 2" complement each other. This may partly explain why the director and screenwriter subverted the image of Begonia Blossom in the second season.
Xin Zhilei seems to have been born to play this kind of heroic role, and her temperament and appearance perfectly match the image of a "chivalrous woman".
However, Xin Zhilei did not lose her mind because of these compliments. In an interview, she publicly said: "Age brings not only a change in appearance, but also an accumulation of life experience."
These have been the inspiration for me to create my characters," she says, with a sense of calmness and confidence, which is the most precious gift that time has given her.
In "Celebrating More Than Years", the relationship between Begonia Blossom and Fan Xian is full of twists and turns, which is exciting. Initially, the two were rival camps, rivals who were on edge. Fan Xian even drugged Begonia Duoduo and involved her in a dispute.
Such a gunpowder-flavored start laid the groundwork for the next relationship development between the two.
Xin Zhilei and Zhang Ruoyun showed a rare tacit understanding in this performance. From the saber rattling at the beginning, to the mutual trust later, and finally to the connection between two hearts, their performances are very delicate and show the emotional changes of the characters vividly.
In the course of a series of interactions in the capital of Northern Qi, Begonia Blossoms gradually unguarded and showed their true selves. Xin Zhilei's performance is meticulous, sometimes lazy and casual, sometimes cheerful and smart, creating a vivid image of begonia flowers for the audience.
Especially in some daily life scenes, such as the scene of casually buying white radishes and eating them at the market, it shows the frankness and cuteness of the characters, and Fan Xian played by Zhang Ruoyun gradually enters the inner world of Begonia with sincerity and wisdom.
In the second season, the relationship between the two became more intimate, and Begonia Blossom was no longer the appearance of the "village girl", but became a mature and confident "chivalrous girl". Fan Xian is no longer the hairy boy he was at the beginning, but has become a calm and introverted "noble son".
At this time, they are standing together, they are simply a pair made in heaven, as the article says: "Guigongzi" vs. "Chivalrous Girl", "Qingguo Heavy Minister" vs. "Northern Qi Holy Daughter", such a pair makes people can't help but want to knock this pair of CPs.
Xin Zhilei and Zhang Ruoyun's acting skills are even better in this season. Their eye contact, subtle changes in expression, and even a small movement are full of scenes. The audience seems to be able to feel the subtle emotions between them through the screen.
Especially in crisis scenarios, the two trust each other and cooperate tacitly, which makes people feel their deep emotional foundation.
However, the screenwriter's plot arrangement has added a shadow to this relationship. At the end of the second season, Fan Xian's partner was not the official Lin Wan'er, but Begonia Blossom.
This setting made the audience sigh and couldn't help but sigh: Is this the so-called "true love"? As stated in the play: "No wonder the screenwriter didn't let Lin Wan'er go down to Jiangnan with her, it turned out to be convenient for Begonia to steal home."
In an interview, Xin Zhilei expressed her views on the relationship between Begonia Duoduo and Fan Xian: "Their relationship stems from mutual understanding and appreciation, although it is not a passionate love, but it forms a deeper bond.
Her words provide a new perspective for the audience to decipher and understand these relationships in depth.
The emotional development of Begonia Duoduo and Fan Xian from hostility to confidant, from vigilance to trust, undoubtedly enriches the plot and presents the audience with an intricate and profound relationship between the characters.
The excellent performances of excellent actors Xin Zhilei and Zhang Ruoyun endowed this relationship with endless charm, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in the fireworks and affection of the world shaped by the plot while chasing the drama.
The perfect ending of "Celebrating More Than Years 2" not only drew a successful end to the show, but also planted a lot of suspense for the third season. The production plan for the third season was quickly announced, which undoubtedly made many fans ecstatic.
As mentioned in the text, the end of the second part leaves a lot of plot to look forward to.
For Xin Zhilei, "Celebrating More Than Years 3" is undoubtedly a new challenge. In the first two seasons, she successfully interpreted the transformation of Begonia Blossom from a "village girl" to a "chivalrous girl". From the age of 33 to 38, Xin Zhilei not only became more and more charming in appearance, but also became more and more proficient in acting skills, which attracted the attention of the audience.
So, how will she play the further development of this character in the third season?
The audience's expectations for Xin Zhilei have been greatly raised. Some people speculate that in the third season of "Celebrating More Than Years", Begonia Blossom may face greater challenges, and may even have a deeper bond with Fan Xian.
There are also audiences looking forward to watching Begonia Blossom show her skills on the political stage, after all, as the "Holy Maiden of Northern Qi", her role positioning itself contains huge dramatic potential.
Xin Zhilei is currently facing a lot of pressure and challenges, but with her excellent performances in the past, we are confident that she will be able to surprise the audience again. "Every role is an opportunity to grow," she said in an interview.
I'm really looking forward to playing Begonia Blossom in Season 3, and I'm confident that I will be able to present a more three-dimensional, full-bodied character."
The audience expects the third season of Begonia Blossom to be more mature and charming, and also expects Xin Zhilei to break through herself and inject new vitality into this character. Whether it is a breakthrough in martial arts scenes or the strengthening of emotional expression, Xin Zhilei can bring surprises to the audience.
"Celebrating More Than Years 3", as a continuation of a popular IP, is a test of the Chinese film and television drama market. It will once again prove that good actors and a great script are the key to attracting audiences.
And Xin Zhilei, as an excellent actor, will undoubtedly shine in this test and become one of the stars.
