The pictures in this article are selected from the relevant pictures of Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun.
Last week, we held a topic selection meeting, and the editors lamented that Zhou Dongyu successfully unlocked the cover of Vogue, becoming the 14th Chinese actress to appear on VOGUE China, and achieving a grand slam of all mainstream women's magazines.
As early as May, she won the 39th Academy Awards for "Young You", and is a well-deserved C position among the new generation of post-90s actors.

The girls exclaimed, "It's really aura, much better than Ma Sichun!" ”
I admit that this sentence poked me at once - women's not easy, perhaps also a long road of life, there are always people who compare you with all kinds of "other people", are compared to the gray face, very frustrated.
In fact, why bother?
However, after the 2016 Golden Horse Trophy opened a double yolk egg shadow for the two heroines of "July and Ansheng", they were put on the comparison line.
Ma Sichun is not short of heat. For example, recently she has been on several hot searches because she participated in a variety show.
In this life observation program, she shows the following daily routine: getting up early in the morning first recites English poems, then arranges flowers, draws, reads English tongue twisters... Every time she goes to her part, the picture filter becomes dreamy and fresh.

However, compared with the grounded life of Lin Yun and Wang Continental, her positive and hard work is unreal, too detached from most people's lives, so she is criticized by netizens for pretending to be literary and artistic and too contrived.
Is this an injustice? I think it's a bit unjust.
Ma Sichun was born in the pure scholarly Xiangmendi, and she grew up with her grandparents, who were engineers and grandmothers were railway operators.
Many reporters who interviewed her commented, "Between words, I can feel that Ma Sichun is a girl with strict tutoring. ”
Indeed, Ma Sichun has been strictly required to have a daily routine since she was a child, and she also has access control time when she returns home at night, until several years after work, she still strictly adheres to the habit of "having to go home before ten o'clock".
Not only that, when she was a child, every day when she came home, she needed to bow three times in front of each elder in turn, and she could not enter the door without saying a word. Before eating, adults are not allowed to move chopsticks without moving chopsticks.
▲ When Ma Sichun was a child, he could see her tranquility and obedience
Strict education makes Ma Sichun personality well-behaved, well-behaved children are generally very simple, she privately loves to read and love to practice words, Weibo is also a bit artificial, as if always staying in the stage of copying lyrics when she was a child, which led to her last year because of the post-reading feeling of Zhang Ailing's works, causing group ridicule - indeed, the obedient children who live smoothly, who can understand Zhang Ailing's cold loneliness, life ups and downs, Ma Sichun's interpretation of any work, in fact, is a bit idealistic.
And idealism in the present, there is also a ugly alias called "pretend".
Zhou Dongyu said that he first met Ma Sichun in the crew, "At that time, I thought that this girl was really dressed and must not be able to become a friend." But as the film was filmed, she discovered that people were such a well-behaved and well-behaved person, and they did not do it deliberately.
Zhou Dongyu is completely different. She was born in an ordinary family in Shijiazhuang, not rich but free, playing small casual and loose, other people's parents called children baby, her mother called her a little rabbit cub every day. When she was a child, she thought it was too slow to dig up with a spoon and eat it, so she buried her face in it and bit it, and her face was full of food, but what her mother told her was: very good, can be beautiful.

The difference in the growth environment allows Zhou Dongyu to enjoy relaxation in the unbridled, and Ma Sichun appears to be tied in obedience.
Cruelly, in the profession of actor, a serious and obedient three-good student is easy to get a passing score, but it is not easy to shine; and a talented player without psychological burden often brings unexpected surprises.
Director Zhang Yimou once talked about Zhou Dongyu's performance when filming "The Love of hawthorn trees". He said that at that time on the set, before filming, zhou Dongyu was emotionally prepared, she was ignorant; she told her all kinds of theoretical knowledge, she was also ignorant, anyway, at the rational level she was completely confused.
"But she's very agile in her sensual moments, and if you shoot a shot for 3 minutes, you can pick out a very moving 3 seconds, and these 3 seconds can't be replaced by others." The part of Zhou Dongyu in the whole movie that year was spliced together by her large-scale performance, the director's 3 seconds and 3 seconds of selection.
Zhang Yimou calls Zhou Dongyu's performance "arbitrary flow", but it is this unconscious emotional expression that it is difficult for people who are accustomed to rules and restraints to do it.
It is undeniable that Zhou Dongyu was lucky to meet Zhang Yimou and fulfilled her talent with experience and ingenuity.
There is also a predecessor of the "arbitrary stream" school - Zhou Xun, many directors and actors praised her for having an aura, and she was an insurmountable talented player. Director Gao Qunshu's comment is particularly interesting:
"Zhou Xun's performance is another system, she belongs to Mars. Her performance cannot be evaluated, only experienced. She was a natural actor. She's too smart. I guess her three generations before reincarnation were all actors. ”
Zhou Xun is even more of an unfettered model, because her father was a cinema projectionist, when she was 3 years old, she secretly went to the place where her father worked to see a movie, her parents never had too much demand on her, when she was a child, Zhou Xun was like a boy, never wearing a skirt.

You see she's still untethered and comfortable.
In addition to bondage, well-behaved three-good students are also prone to have an obsession, called "desperately trying to prove themselves."
Everyone knows that Ma Sichun is Jiang Wenli's niece, and her mother Jiang Wenjuan has been an agent for this star sister for many years, doing planning, picking scripts, and dealing with the media, so it is inevitable that "Ma Sichun has a background and goes through the back door" Voice.
▲ Ma Sichun was a photo with his aunt Jiang Wenli and his uncle Gu Changwei when he was a child
But Ma Sichun was very resistant to this kind of bondage in her heart, and she always wanted to tear off the label of the relationship.
This time on the variety show, in the first issue, she was anxious to invite Jiang Wenli to her home and respond to her "relationship household" identity: "People say that our family is like a feeling that they can cover the sky with one hand, but isn't the right to speak in the hands of the capital?" ”
However, the discerning people know that the opportunities brought by the family are beyond doubt.
In 2000, 12-year-old Ma Sichun starred in the first TV series "The Gate of the Big House", and the heroine was her aunt Jiang Wenli;
The two have collaborated on 4 works such as "Secret Shore", "We See You in Heaven", "White Phase", etc., and in the movie "Left Ear" starring Ma Sichun, Jiang Wenli made an extremely rare cameo appearance.
▲ Jiang Wenli is very dedicated in supporting Ma Sichun
In fact, the second generation of entertainment stars is everywhere, but not everyone is as screwed up as Ma Sichun. Dong Zijian's mother is Wang Jinghua, who is known as the "first agent in the mainland", but he does not contradict others mentioning this relationship at all, responding: "You want to say that it is too fake to say that I don't rely on my mother at all, but the play is indeed performed by myself." ”
Explain it reasonably and without force.
American female director Sophia Coppola, the father is the famous "Godfather" director Francis Coppola, many of her achievements are initially related to her parents' resources, but she is also very free, never to prove herself.
When Sophia wrote and directed the comedy film "Lost in Tokyo" in 27 days, which won the Best Original Screenplay at the 76th Academy Awards, she no longer had to prove that she was dependent on her father.
Ma Sichun is very sensitive, and her family background has brought her resources and opportunities, but also brought a heavier psychological burden, and her rush to clear up always seems to be too strong.
The last problem of the miyoshi students is called: Please see if I can do everything.
In the 4 years after getting the Golden Horse Shadow, Ma Sichun tried various roles other than well-behaved women, female generals, North Drift girls, rebellious girls, female policemen, and Ge Weilong in the most complained about "First Incense".
Her intention was to break through and prove that she could handle more different roles.
Just broadening the drama path is a good thing, you have the right to try, the audience also has the right not to buy it, Ma Sichun is too concerned about the evaluation of others, and the acceptance of criticism does not seem to be high.
Last year, the movie "About Winter" starring her was released, and some melon-eating masses compared her acting skills with Zhou Dongyu's works released at the same time, and posted a Weibo evaluation that she was embarrassed.
Ma Sichun replied in a hurry, where is my acting skills awkward?
Some netizens complained that Ma Sichun could read everything he read into youth trauma literature, and Ma Sichun replied to him: "If I still think that everything is a youth novel when I am sixty years old, I think I will be a happy person." ”
You can imagine what the result is after the answer.
The same pit Zhou Winter Rain has actually stepped on.
In 2016, Zhou Dongyu starred in the female undercover in the TV series "Sparrow", from appearance to temperament are not in line with the human design, and naturally loses the sense of faith in the role. As a result, Zhou Dongyu contributed the worst performance since his debut.
▲ This cute look and the shape of the girl really don't look like a female agent
Since then, she no longer takes on roles that she can't control, for example, someone asked her to play a beauty who fell into the country, and the mink cicada hung up, and she directly refused.
She said: "I feel that I must take on the role that suits me, no one person is suitable for everything."
Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun, a strong and wanton "wild" girl and a simple and restrained "well-behaved" girl.
One is opportunity + talent, and the other is opportunity + effort + resources.
Each woman's way of coming and going, the way of making money, the object of love, the choice of marriage are different, there is no need to use other people's achievements to squeeze themselves, live too nervous, too laborious, not yet out of achievements, the mentality is relaxed a little good.
If you have a sacrifice to get, and walking with concentration and confidence on the path that suits you, you will have more chances of finding treasures.
