In the early 90s, "Joking about Qianlong" was like a gust of fresh wind, blowing away the dullness in the hearts of the audience, triggering a wave of Qing court dramas. This craze is like the warm current of spring, nourishing the creative inspiration of countless screenwriters and directors.
On this fertile soil, the role of "Da Yuer" came into being and became an indispensable classic image in Qing court dramas. In 1993, "A Generation of Queen Da Yuer" began to be filmed.
The producer's eyes quickly locked on Pan Yingzi, who was just popular. At that time, Pan Yingzi, with the little dragon girl in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Wu Zetian in "The Empress of the Generation", had already become popular all over the country.
Although she is nearly fifty years old, her baby face seems to have been forgotten by time, and it is still sweet and moving. During the same period, the crew of "The Legend of the New White Lady" threw an olive branch to Pan Yingzi, hoping that she could play Bai Suzhen.
Pan Yingzi even tried on the costume, but in the end she chose the role of Da Yuer. Regarding this decision, some people say that it is because of the salary problem, and some people say that it is because of physical reasons.
In any case, this choice made her miss out on another classic, but it also achieved another peak in her acting career. As soon as Pan Yingzi's big jade was broadcast, it immediately triggered a ratings boom.
She vividly interpreted Da Yuer's life from a girl to the queen mother, and was known as "the most gorgeous and amorous in history" Xiaozhuang. The audience was deeply attracted by her sweet yet strong image, and even the director was amazed by her ungodly appearance, allowing the 45-year-old to easily control the role of a 17-year-old girl.
Ten years later, in 2003, another "big jade" was born. Liu Dekai, the director of "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", fell in love with Tranquility at a glance and decided that only she could perfectly interpret Da Yuer from 17 to 44 years old.
In order to wait for the quiet production, the crew even postponed the filming plan for a whole year. This sincerity touched Tranquility, although she was not satisfied with the script at first, and even bluntly said that "the heroine has too many scenes, and every page has her lines", but in the end she decided to reduce her salary and devote herself to this role.
Tranquil Da Yu'er is very different from Pan Yingzi's version. She portrayed Da Yuer as a big woman who dared to love and hate, and was wise and decisive. The sense of mixed race that comes with tranquility adds a bit of exotic style to the character, making Da Yuer have a touch of charm in the dignified, and full of atmosphere in the charm.
Her interpretation allowed the audience to see a three-dimensional, flesh-and-blood jade, and also left a deep impression on this character in the hearts of the audience. In this way, the two generations of "Da Yuer" reflect each other in the long river of time, and each blooms with a unique brilliance.
Their performances are like two strange flowers blooming on the stage of Qing court dramas, each with its own merits and breathtaking. These two versions of Da Yu'er have also become a hot topic for comparison and discussion among the audience, adding more charm and depth to the Qing court drama.
Pan Yingzi and Ningning, two actresses from different eras, both took over the role of "Da Yuer" at important points in their lives. Their path of interpretation is both similar and distinctive.
Pan Yingzi was 45 years old when she took over the role of "A Generation of Queen Da Yuer", but she had to play Da Yuer who was 17 to 50 years old. This is a huge challenge for any actor. However, with her never-old baby face and superb acting skills, Pan Yingzi perfectly interprets Da Yuer's transformation from a young girl to a mature queen mother.
Her big jade is sweet and moving, and she does not lose her majesty, like a wonderful flower blooming in imperial power and love. In the play, Pan Yingzi's big jade was born in the Mongolia steppe, and since she was a child, she has bright eyes and teeth, lively and cute, and is bold and decisive.
She was heroic on the battlefield, and dared to love and hate when she met Dorgon. Even if she was robbed of her love by Huang Taiji, she boldly offered to be a one-night husband and wife with Dorgon. These details were vividly interpreted by Pan Yingzi, so that the audience was deeply impressed by her charm.
Tranquility took over the big jade in "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" at the age of 33. The age span of this character is from 17 to 44 years old, and it also tests the expressiveness of the actors. With her unique sense of mixed race and her character of daring to love and hate, Tranquility has shaped Da Yu'er into a woman who is both exotic and full of wisdom.
Tranquil Da Yu'er was lively and bright when she was young, and she was a full prairie girl. She boldly made a private pact with Dolgon for life, and even if she was forced to marry the emperor, she had no joy on the wedding night.
With the development of the plot, Tranquility interprets Da Yuer's growth into three points. When her son Fulin ascended to the throne, she maintained a relationship with Dolgon while skillfully countering his ambitions.
When she finally became the queen mother, she was dignified and steady, serving the country and the people, showing the wisdom and charm of a mature woman. The two actors have their own unique interpretations of the characters. Pan Yingzi's Da Yuer shows more softness and intelligence, she is sometimes sweet and lovely in the play, and sometimes she holds the wisdom bead, showing the multi-faceted nature of Da Yuer to the fullest.
For example, when she secretly went out of the palace to see Dolgon bumped into by Huang Taiji, she wittily found an excuse to deal with the past, showing the wisdom side of the character. The quiet Da Yuer is more three-dimensional and complex, she not only shows the beauty and wisdom of Da Yuer, but also deeply portrays the inner struggle and growth of this character.
For example, when she heard that Dolgon had died on the battlefield, she burst into tears and was so sad that she couldn't help herself, and this emotional outburst made the audience deeply feel the pain in Da Yuer's heart.
In terms of performance characteristics, Pan Yingzi is good at using delicate eyes and subtle expression changes to convey the inner world of the character. Her big jade eyes are fluctuating, with both the shyness of a girl and the majesty of the queen mother.
Serenity is more adept at using body language and emotional outbursts to create characters. Her big jade showed a strong appeal between great sorrow and joy. The interpretation of the two generations of "Da Yuer" is like two moving concertos, each with its own merits.
Pan Yingzi's version is like a gentle and melodious serenade, while the serene version is like a passionate symphony. They portrayed the role of Da Yuer vividly in their own ways, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
As netizens said: "After tranquility, there is no big jade." But at the same time, Pan Yingzi's big jade is also regarded as a classic. These two versions of Da Yuer together create a complete image of this character in the hearts of the audience.
Behind the glamour of the actors, there is often a hard work that ordinary people can hardly imagine. Pan Yingzi and Ning Jing both showed admirable professionalism in the process of playing Da Yuer.
In order to better interpret the 50-year-old filial piety, Pan Yingzi took the initiative to ask for a weight gain of 20 pounds. She let go of eating and drinking, and made her figure plump, as a way to add to the persuasiveness of the character.
"Because the thin one really can't support the aura of the Queen Mother. It's good now, it's the happiest to let go and eat. Pan Yingzi said, her tone full of love for the role.
This spirit of sacrificing image at the expense of the image makes people can't help but be moved. What's even more amazing is that after the shooting, Pan Yingzi immediately began a strict weight loss plan. She insisted on 400 sit-ups a day and more than two hours of exercise, and soon regained her slim figure.
This kind of self-discipline and perseverance is the secret of her long-term youthful state. Tranquility also put in great efforts when filming "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang". She endured the trouble of catching a cold, and insisted on filming while hanging a bottle.
"A few days ago, I had been filming with hanging bottles, and my neck fell again, so anxious that the production director was looking for an acupuncturist all over the world." Tranquility recalled, with a hint of bitterness in her tone, but more of a dedication to the role.
In addition to physical discomfort, Tranquility also has to face the run-in problem with her partner. She and Ma Jingtao often clashed at the beginning of filming because of their different understandings of the script, and the scene of "The Queen Mother Marrying" was difficult to continue.
But through constant communication and adjustment, they finally found a tacit understanding and presented an amazing performance. Jing Jing once sighed: "The role of Xiaozhuang is really a great woman, she is often in a dilemma, it can be said that she has achieved the foundation of the Qing Dynasty with the feelings and wisdom of an extraordinary woman."
This understanding and respect for the role made her pour all her heart and soul into the performance. These behind-the-scenes hardships and dedication let us see the dedication and love of the two actors for acting.
Their professionalism not only achieved classic roles, but also won the respect and love of the audience. It is this kind of payment at any cost that allows us to see such a vivid and plump image of Da Yuer on the screen.
After performing "Da Yuer", Pan Yingzi and Ningning's life trajectories showed different directions, but they both continued to shine on their respective paths. Pan Yingzi chose to take a short break after "A Generation of Queen Da Yuer".
"I already have enough money to see the wider world and learn more new things," she said. "This former film and television star has set his sights on other aspects of life and enjoys a peaceful life away from the spotlight.
However, the passion of the actor did not go out in her heart. In 2012, when the crew of "Allure Love" invited her to play the 50-year-old Xiaozhuang, she readily agreed and challenged the role again.
Surprisingly, Pan Yingzi, who is over 65 years old, is still amazingly young. She herself sighed: "When I took the makeup photo, my hair was too dark, not like a 50-year-old woman, they started to think that I refused to have gray hair, and then I took the initiative to ask for it!" "This dedication and seriousness to the role shows her professionalism as an actress.
In contrast, Tranquility continued to be active in the entertainment industry after "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang". She has participated in many film and television works, constantly challenging different types of roles. In 2019, Tranquility participated in the variety show "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", showing a new side.
In the show, she is no longer the majestic queen mother, but a "Sister Ning" who dares to love and hate, and is frank and straightforward. Her golden sentences are frequent, such as "Growing up means ... Love wearing team uniforms? "It shows her new understanding of team spirit.
This contrast allows the audience to see the multifaceted nature of tranquility, and it also allows her to gain a new group of fans. From the former "I want to introduce who I am, then I have done it for nothing for decades!" "Now that teamwork is important, the quiet has changed dramatically.
The choice of the two actors reflects their different attitudes towards life. Pan Yingzi chose to fade out and explore other possibilities in life; And Tranquility chose to continue to work hard in the entertainment industry and constantly challenge herself.
But in any case, the role of "Da Yuer" has become an indelible stroke in their acting careers, and it has also become an eternal memory in the hearts of the audience. In terms of emotional life and attitude towards life, Pan Yingzi and Ning Jing also showed different choices and thoughts, reflecting their unique philosophy of life.
Pan Yingzi had a brief marriage with Chen Honglie, but chose to divorce because she suspected that the other party was having an affair. Since then, she has remained single and devoted her energy to self-improvement.
Pan Yingzi loves fitness, travel, worshipping Buddha, health preservation, learning to dance and other new things, and constantly enriches her life. This positive attitude towards life has made her life more colorful and her spiritual world more and more fulfilling.
It is this spirit of continuous learning and exploration that allows her to maintain her girlish appearance and vitality at the age of 75, which caused netizens to sigh: "Pan Yingzi is not old, we are all going crazy."
"Serenity's emotional experience is even more tortuous. When she was younger, she hastily married Paul, who she didn't love, but this loveless marriage ended in divorce. Tranquility said frankly: "It's definitely not suitable, I can't talk together, I have a lot of traditional thoughts, and my cultural background is different, so it's difficult."
This experience made her think more deeply about marriage. In 2014, Tranquility publicly admitted that she was in love with Wang Xiaoyi, who was 9 years younger, "Everyone is an adult, as long as the mind is mature, everything happens naturally."
"Her attitude towards love seems more open and comfortable. However, the relationship doesn't seem to last long. In 2018, Tranquility posted a blog saying that "return to the original state, there is nothing left in the first place", hinting at the end of the relationship.
Now, Tranquility's relationship status is a mystery, and I don't know if she is single or in secret love. But her yearning for love never stopped. Tranquility once revealed that the prince charming in her heart was Zhao Zilong, a general in the Three Kingdoms period, "I actually like people who are a little machismo, so that I can feel grounded."
This expectation of an ideal partner reflects her inner longing for love. Although the two have different choices, they both interpret life in their own way. Pan Yingzi chose an independent and self-sufficient life and found self-worth in singleness; Tranquility rises and falls in the relationship, but always maintains the longing and pursuit of love.
Their stories tell us that whether you choose to be independent or pursue love, the most important thing is to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and face every choice in life bravely.
