There is such an actor who did not appear in a movie for the first time until he was 61 years old, and it was because of his role in Stephen Chow's films that people knew such a person.
After only starring in two movies, he can earn two apartments, and this person is Zhang Mei'e.
What kind of ability does Zhang Mei'e have, but she has never had the experience of being an actress but can star in Stephen Chow's films at the age of 61?
Today we will take a look at her story.
So fortunate to be able to get together in this article, you officials move their fingers to spend two seconds to point out a thumbs up and add a note.
In the nonsense head world, Zhou Xingchi can be said to be the "originator" here, and many people have watched zhou Xingchi's movies and laughed at his nonsensical performance.
The partners who cooperate with Zhou Xingchi generally have many such nonsense conditions, and Zhou Xingchi has been acting as a leader in the nonsense head industry in the early years.
Later, the elderly Zhou Xingchi began to retire from the stage and became a behind-the-scenes. After the curtain, Zhou Xingchi's vision of selecting people is also very unique.
Movies that can be directed by Stephen Chow can sell well, and the movie also has the nonsensical funny atmosphere of Stephen Chow.
Among them, in the filming of "Journey to the West, Descending Demons", there is a character Zhou Xingchi who has not found a suitable candidate.
Later, Zhou Xingchi posted a recruitment message in Hengdian, looking for four very ugly old ladies, who ate and lived in packs and had a salary of 150 yuan per day.
Soon after, a number of eligible people went to the scene for interviews. Because of her long years of labor, Zhang Mei'e has the special qualities of "black and healthy, ugly but shiny".
Zhang Mei'e successfully got the opportunity to star, what interesting stories happened during the interview? I'll tell you in a moment, and it's the one with the most drama among the four actors.
Who is Zhang Mei'e, and why can she be able to participate in the films directed by Stephen Chow when she has never had acting experience before?
Zhang Mei'e was born in Wuguantang Village, Hengdian, Zhejiang Province, and grew up in the countryside, zhang Mei'e, who graduated from primary school, suffered a lot and worked as a farmer at home in her early years.
Relying on the acres of fertile land at home, Zhang Mei'e's face has long since dissipated, dry, dark skin, full of traces of age.
In 1996, after Hengdian began to build a film and television base, Zhang Mei'e, who lived near Hengdian, came to Hengdian to look for a job.
Because she didn't have much knowledge and advantages, Zhang Mei'e was only able to do some hard work here and do the work of repairing old buildings.
For Zhang Mei'e, this job is much better than farming in the fields at home, and there are more things about acting when working in Hengdian.
Zhang Mei'e can often see a variety of scenes when the crew is filming, and some of the looks and things of the actors when filming, Zhang Mei'e can also observe.
Next, let's talk about the interview.
Then the staff invited her to a trial, and When she arrived at the scene, Zhang Mei'e showed a natural sense of nonsense humor, and she always maintained a low-key, sincere and cordial attitude when facing other people.
Zhou Xingchi asked him to perform a scolding scene, she crossed her hands at her waist, and a non-standard Mandarin laughed at the venue, and Xingye immediately finalized the candidate.
At the time of filming this scene, although Zhang Mei'e was already relatively old, the activities she showed on the scene were not inferior to some other young people.
Later, after the release of the movie, many people were amazed by the first clip of the "Four Beauties of the Wilderness" played by Zhang Mei'e. Many netizens said that when it came to that clip, it broke the defense, and it was really "four beauties".
This is also the first time in more than sixty years that Zhang Mei'e has appeared on the big screen to appear in a movie, but the first time she starred, she achieved very good results.
In the movies starring many big stars such as Article, Shu Qi, Huang Bo, etc., Zhang Mei'e stood out, but won the attention of many audiences in the shots that appeared less than a few minutes ago.
In the dialogue with the empty prince in "Journey to the West and Descending Demons", he said nonsensical words in a serious way, making the audience laugh.
Zhou Xingchi herself also affirmed her performance, so Zhang Mei'e also began to debut in the entertainment industry. Some people will ask, how can this simple few minutes of footage be counted as a way?
Don't worry, let's slowly get to know Zhang Mei'e, who has never starred in any movie or TV series before. After "Journey to the West and Descending Demons" was on fire, it was only on fire for a while, and then there was no heat.
In 2016, the movie "Mermaid", which Zhou Xingchi directed again, was released, and at this time, people saw a familiar figure in the movie.
It was a dialogue with Luo Zhixiang again, perhaps it was caused a lot of repercussions in the "Journey to the West , Descending Demons" at that time, and this time "Mermaid" Zhou Xingchi also wanted the two people to talk again.
Hoping to be able to become a little climax of the whole movie again, the result is that just as Stephen Chow predicted, the conversation between the two people has once again become a hot topic for the audience.
Netizens commented: Seeing the dialogue between these two people, the feeling of journeying to the west is back. After the film "Mermaid", Zhang Mei'e really entered the film and television circle.
Although Zhang Mei'e has not received formal acting learning, the funny elements she is born with are enough to let her go down the road of nonsense.
After that, many TV series or movies have found Zhang Mei'e to let her make a cameo role in one or two of them.
Whether in the play or outside the play, Zhang Mei'e's approachable feeling is loved by many young people. Her simple temperament gives people the first feeling that she does not feel like an actor.
More like a neighbor aunt in the countryside, people who have come into contact with her know that Zhang Mei'e is a very warm and approachable person, and she does not have any shelf for anyone.
Even in these movies, it is still the same, after Zhang Mei'e is on fire, many variety shows have invited her.
For example, some large-scale variety shows such as "Good Partner for the Whole Family" and "Descendants of the Sun" broadcast by CCTV Variety Channel, Zhang Mei'e plays some supporting roles in the program, setting off the aura of other stars.
Whenever Zhang Mei'e appeared, it always caused a burst of laughter from the audience. Or in Zhang Mei'e's view, the laughter of the audience is the driving force that supports her performance.
If you can use some actions to bring laughter to the audience, this may also be the biggest gain for Zhang Mei'e to enter this line.
Of course, the harvest is not only a spiritual harvest, but also a very large material harvest. Zhang Mei'e went from the initial 150 yuan a day's salary to tens of thousands of yuan a day.
Originally, she could only rely on hard labor to get a meager living expenses, but later starred in some supporting roles in movies, TV series and variety shows, which improved Zhang Mei'e's life.
Later, Zhang Mei'e also earned two houses by her own efforts. Being able to live such a life is inseparable from Zhou Xingchi's discernment and Zhang Mei'e's own efforts.
Now Zhang Mei'e not only has a change in her life, but also can play her own advantages and bring laughter and joy to the audience.
Zhang Mei'e has been obscure for the first half of her life, and only at the age of 61 did she emit her own light. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, don't be afraid to try, opportunities are won by yourself.
Just like Zhang Mei'e, if she didn't go to the recruit, maybe she is still doing the same hard work as before.
For Zhang Mei'e, if you have other views and opinions, welcome to like and pay attention to and leave a message below, thank you for watching, we will see you in the next issue.
