preface
Zhang Jingchu, the once beautiful actress, has overcome obstacles all the way in the entertainment industry, from obscurity to standing at the peak of a first-line star. She won the hearts of the audience with her excellent acting skills and unremitting efforts, and became the darling of many directors.
However, just when her career was in full swing, a sudden turmoil pushed her to the forefront of public opinion. This turmoil not only caused her to fall into a dispute with the director's wife, but also cast a shadow on her star career.
Even if he won the lawsuit, Zhang Jingchu could not escape the tricks of fate. What made this talented actress fall from the top and become an "invisible person" in the circle?
The beginning of the star: a bright new star on the campus of Chinese opera
In 1997, 18-year-old Zhang Jingchu was admitted to the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama with excellent results. This institution of higher learning, known as the "cradle of stars", opened the door to the entertainment industry for Zhang Jingchu.
On campus, she not only studied professional knowledge hard, but also quickly attracted the attention of industry insiders with her pure and sweet appearance and excellent expressiveness.
During his studies, Zhang Jingchu got acquainted with director Gu Changwei. Although Gu Changwei was not a well-known director at that time, his keen eye had already seen Zhang Jingchu's potential. This friendship between teachers and students laid the groundwork for future cooperation.
After graduating, Zhang Jingchu began to try some small role performances. Although she is not the protagonist, her unique temperament and serious attitude make her stand out from the crowd of newcomers. The audience was attracted by her fresh and refined image and looked forward to the future bloom of this new star.
In 2003, the opportunity finally came. When Gu Changwei was preparing for the new work "Peacock", Zhang Ziyi, who was originally intended, was unable to appear due to schedule conflicts. Gu Changwei remembered the student who had impressed him, and did not hesitate to hand over the responsibility of the heroine to Zhang Jingchu.
The filming process of "Peacock" was full of challenges, but Zhang Jingchu perfectly interpreted the role with his amazing understanding and professionalism. As soon as the film was released, it immediately received unanimous praise from inside and outside the industry, and won many awards. Zhang Jingchu also became famous in one fell swoop and became a hot new generation of actresses.
However, the joy of fame has not faded, but a storm has quietly come. Some media broke the news that Zhang Jingchu and married director Gu Changwei were ambiguous on the set, and the two often walked together. This news was like a bombshell, which instantly detonated the entertainment industry.
Scandal-ridden
With the success of "Peacock", Zhang Jingchu ushered in the first peak of his career. However, it was accompanied by a series of scandals. These rumors not only affected her public image, but also cast a shadow on her acting career.
The first is the scandal with Gu Changwei. At that time, Gu Changwei had been married to Jiang Wenli for ten years, and as soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar. After hearing the news, Jiang Wenli personally visited the class on the set, although there was no fierce conflict, but the undercurrent of the atmosphere made it not difficult to imagine the tension.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jingchu collaborated with director Zhang Jiarui in "The Bride with a Flower Waist". While the film was well received, Zhang Jiarui announced that he had broken up with his girlfriend. This coincidence once again pushed Zhang Jingchu to the forefront of public opinion. The outside world has speculated whether Zhang Jingchu intervened in the relationship between the two.
Although Zhang Jingchu has repeatedly denied it, her many collaborations with Zhang Jiarui, as well as the photos taken holding hands and shopping, seem to add fuel to these speculations.
Even so, the two still collaborated on works such as "Aromatic Journey" and "Red River", and this kind of unsuspecting behavior has aroused public doubts.
During the filming of "Tangshan Earthquake", Zhang Jingchu was involved in the whirlpool of scandals with Feng Xiaogang again. Although there is no way to know the truth, this undoubtedly brought great trouble to Xu Fan.
The continuous scandals made Zhang Jingchu fall into the whirlpool of public opinion. There are rumors that she was banned by the "Director's Wives Circle", which seems to explain why she suddenly announced that she would study abroad when her career was in full swing.
However, fate always seems to play a joke on her. After returning from school, she collaborated with director Lu Chuan on "Derailment Era". Coincidentally, when the film was released, Lu Chuan broke up with his girlfriend Qin Lan who had been dating for four years.
This time, Zhang Jingchu was once again pushed to the forefront, and the outside world speculated whether she intervened in other people's feelings again.
In the face of overwhelming doubts and accusations, Zhang Jingchu chose to remain silent. She may not have thought that her acting career would be overshadowed by these "peach news".
Reborn from the ashes
After more than ten years of "yellow rumors", Zhang Jingchu finally made up his mind to seek justice for himself through legal channels.
Zhang Jingchu once said in an interview: "I think that pornography and cyberbullying are like a vicious dog that specializes in bullying the weak, the more you dodge and run away, the more it will chase you." Until one day you suddenly turn around and pick up a rock and throw it at it, it may just run away. For me, the process was long. It took me more than a dozen years to pick up this stone. "
The victory of this lawsuit not only washed away many years of injustice for Zhang Jingchu, but also gave her great courage and confidence. She realized that only by being brave enough to speak up could she be heard and make a difference.
However, a legal victory does not mean an immediate recovery in the cause. Zhang Jingchu found that his resources and role were not as good as before.
used to be a first-line actress, but now she can only receive some small-scale online dramas, such as "The Bad People Who Paint the Rivers and Lakes". But she was not discouraged by this, but poured all her passion into this role, which won unanimous praise from comic book fans.
In 2018, Zhang Jingchu's wonderful performance in the movie "Wushuang" once again proved her strength. Although there are not many scenes, every shot of her is full of tension, allowing the audience to see the amazing Zhang Jingchu again.
In 2023, in the much-talked-about TV series "The Long Season", Zhang Jingchu will play the role of Silence as an adult. Although it was only a few minutes long, her performance left a deep impression on the audience. Many netizens said that after watching this play, their impression of Zhang Jingchu completely changed.
These experiences made Zhang Jingchu understand that the road of an actor is never smooth sailing. She needs to keep proving herself and speak with strength. At the same time, she also learned how to maintain her original intention in the face of adversity and not be swayed by the voices of the outside world.
Away from the hustle and bustle of idyllic life
After experiencing the ups and downs of his career and the ups and downs of public opinion, Zhang Jingchu chose a new way of life. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, she started her idyllic life in a small peaceful yard.
Here, Zhang Jingchu found inner peace. She started growing vegetables, exercising, and enjoying simple and fulfilling days. This lifestyle not only relaxes her body and mind, but also gives her more time to think about the direction of her life and career.
Zhang Jingchu also revealed on the show that she has a boyfriend who has been with her for many years. Together, she said, both grew into better people. Interestingly, they have no plans to get married, as neither wants each other to sacrifice for themselves. This mature and rational view of feelings also reflects that Zhang Jingchu has a deeper understanding of love and life after experiencing the ups and downs of life.
In this small world away from the hustle and bustle, Zhang Jingchu found his rhythm. She began to focus on healthy eating and even became a vegetarian.
She shares her daily life on social media, including picking vegetables, cooking, exercising, and studying. These seemingly ordinary daily lives have attracted the attention and love of many netizens.
However, even with such a way of life, Zhang Jingchu is inevitably questioned. When she posted a video on social media about a vegetarian diet, some netizens thought she was a moral kidnapping and criticized her for not saying that eating meat was a sinful thing.
In the face of these voices, Zhang Jingchu chose to respond calmly, saying that everyone has their own lifestyle choices, and she does not want to impose them on others.
This calm and rational attitude is exactly the precipitation of Zhang Jingchu after experiencing the ups and downs of life. She learned how to be self-conscious while respecting the choices of others. This mature mindset also allows her to remain calm and calm in the face of various challenges in life.
Counterattack life
In the eyes of many people, 40 years old is a turning point in an actress's career, but for Zhang Jingchu, this age has become a new starting point in her life. She made a surprising decision: to go back to school and start a new learning journey.
Zhang Jingchu's learning path was not smooth. The first thing she challenged was the TOEFL exam, which was undoubtedly a huge challenge for her, who had been out of school for many years.
But instead of backing down, she chose to livestream her learning process on social media.
Interestingly, these live broadcasts of her learning have caused different reactions from netizens. Some people criticized her for shaking her head when speaking English, thinking it was contrived.
But there are also more people who defend her, arguing that some small movements in the learning process are normal and should not be harsh. This controversy just reflects the high public demand for celebrities, and how Zhang Jingchu still insists on herself under such pressure.
The hard work paid off, and Zhang Jingchu finally successfully passed the TOEFL exam. But she didn't stop there and continued to aim higher. She applied and was successfully admitted to the directing department of the United States Film Academy, becoming an "older graduate student".
The United States Film Academy is the top institution for film majors in United States, and being admitted is undoubtedly a great recognition of Zhang Jingchu's strength. This is not only a testament to her talent in her acting career, but also her potential in the academic field.
After becoming an international student, Zhang Jingchu's life has changed dramatically. She began to broadcast her learning process live, writing homework for 12 hours, completely immersed in the world of learning.
This attitude of dedication and hard work has surprised and admired many netizens. Some people said that they couldn't stand seeing female stars being so "rolled"; Some people also said that they felt very relieved to see her in her 40s and still maintain such a good state of study.
She uses practical actions to tell people that life is not too late to start, as long as you are determined, you can start again at any time.
Today's Zhang Jingchu is no longer just an actor. She is adding a new label to her life. Perhaps in the near future, we will see a new Zhang Jingchu - both an actor and a director. This diversified development is the result of her continuous exploration and self-breakthrough.
