From "What Is Love", I have known Yin Ruzhen and remembered Yin Ruzhen.
Strictly speaking, Yin Ruzhen is the least popular of all the actors in "What Is Love". Not only is it ordinary-looking, but it is also extremely unpleasant. Not to mention that ha xi luo and Shin Ai luo, who play her daughter, are a lot less joyful than Kim Keiko, who plays her mother. In the play, she pulls an expressionless bitter melon face, stands up to the thin body of noodles before aging, and says boring and tedious lines, which is simply mixed down with others episode by episode. At that time, it was felt that she was a dispensable person, and anyone who could play her role could be changed.
What I didn't expect was that although "What Is Love" has achieved almost all the main actors, the one who seems to be the least successful has stepped onto the peak that others can't climb. You must know that in South Korea, a country with obviously excessive national self-esteem, being able to be nominated for the Oscars has simply become a god worshipped by the whole people. That folded-faced Yin Ruzhen, although she once played such an unbearable role as an old prostitute, she also wanted to become a national goddess.
Yin Ruzhen's success is actually mixed with a lot of disconnection. Don't look at her current appearance is unbearable, but when she was young, she was also a big beauty. Although it was not a standard beauty, her appearance belonged to a very personal category, and it was very appealing in Korea at that time. It is said that at that time, she received soft advertising, and her income could rank in the top ten in the Korean entertainment industry.
But strangely enough, like many actresses at the time, she chose to marry at her peak. Then he went to the United States, where he lived a life that looked like a husband and a godson. It's just that this marriage is really disgusting. The man with her was a laid-back who spent her savings lavishly and was said to have swindled a lot of money out of her. And although Yin Ruzhen is in the United States, she is still like the Koreans who are going to die on all axes, and she has followed this scummy man from beginning to end. Until the money ran out, the man became worse and worse, not only had an affair, but even wanted to take Xiao San home. This made Yin Ruzhen, who had always been in love, wake up.
When she returned to Korea almost penniless, she was less than forty with a pair of children. According to Chinese's understanding, in fact, it is completely possible to do a good job and play a role that is not ugly. However, it also depends on whether you have a good life. It is very difficult for actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry to return to the highlight list after the film. For example, Zhang Ziyi was originally known as the "International Chapter", taking the award and taking the soft hand, once the human society collapsed, now it can only rub the heat in the entertainment industry. Zhao Wei and Fan Bingbing, a pair of sister flowers, almost did not move after the ship overturned. Dong Jie, who is even more miserable, has beaten her from the top stream to the bottom of the last stream in an affair that is unclear who is in trouble.
China's entertainment market is so vast, it is still so difficult to turn around, not to mention South Korea, which began to take shape in the 1990s. So Yin Ruzhen's comeback almost made her feel desperate. No one remembers her anymore, and those who remember her will only say, "Ruzhen is old like this!" Strictly speaking, she really didn't have and shouldn't have had a chance.
But Yin Ruzhen's confusion when she married can finally be exchanged for the understanding of the second half of her life. Moreover, a pair of children forced her to earn money to support her. So she put down her body very easily, completely unaware that she had been a top star, and even the role of passerby A and Passerby B could take over. It's so hard to eat for yourself and your family in the entertainment industry. With "The Man who Owned the Bathhouse", Yin Ruzhen, who was only 48 years old, played a role that looked like he was sixty years old, and then turned over.
After turning over, Yin Ruzhen is actually still quite sober-minded. She understands very well that the Korean entertainment industry is still cruel. As a middle-aged woman in her fifties, this success today does not mean that she has gained a firm foothold. If you want to have a play all the time, you still don't have the right to pick a play. And even if you don't pick a play, getting older and uglier, it is easy to be easily abandoned. Therefore, if you want to continue to eat this bowl of rice, in addition to continuing to tremble and walk on thin ice, you must also find the pulse of Koreans.
I don't know when she began to understand the heart of Koreans, it is hysteria and paranoia. Therefore, if you want Koreans to remember themselves, you can have a stable audience. Then it is necessary to cater to this terrible psychology. So she started choosing.
She began to dwarf herself and blacken herself on the screen. In the film "Family of Stealing Love", she plays a woman who is sixty years old and still steals love. In "The Taste of Money", she has always given people a straightforward and open feeling, and simply performed a passion play with an actor 31 years younger than herself, and the degree of viciousness was terrifying.
Then in Miss Dionysus, in order to cater to the inexplicable depression and pathos of Koreans, she simply plays a 65-year-old prostitute. The desolation of this character is almost hairy to watch. Sixty-five-year-old, with a body wrapped in skin and bones, to cater to one old man who is dying, not far from the grave, will have serious physical discomfort when he looks at such a film. Then you have to grit your teeth to see her wrinkled face full of folds, play a strange charm to flirt with men, and even play in bed, which is really a cruel test of the soul. However, it cannot but be admitted that she succeeded. She expounded on the hysteria and persecution delusions of Koreans. Even to make everything more crazy, the characters she played actually helped the old men who had lived enough to die one after another. This is really the most terrible nightmare of the Koreans, naked, undisguised. As one character after another dies at the hands of Yoon Yoo-jeong, the masochistic psychology of Koreans is greatly satisfied.
This is the unspoken rule of the Korean film and television industry - if you are beautiful, then you are responsible for decorating a beautiful world. If you are old and yellow, please perform the most miserable, bitter and deformed Koreans. If you want money in reality, you have to face it on the screen.
Later, Yoon Ru-jeong, in "No Second Chance", she is an old lady with a mouth full of yellow strips, and she is really a pacesetter for the lowest sexually hungry elderly women in South Korea. In "The Beasts Who Grasp the Life-Saving Straw", it is a repeat of the same trick, playing a semi-senile dementia-waiting role, and what he does all day is hysterical attacks and tortures his relatives. It's not much better than Miss Dionysus, or even more heinous.
In the "Mi na" that made her nominate for the Oscar this time, it was still this routine that transplanted the despair of Koreans to the United States. First it's like acting in a comedy, playing a Korean grandmother who went to the United States to have many misunderstandings with her grandson, and then it was the old routine, paralyzed by stroke, and had difficulty moving. Although her family did not dislike her, she herself considered herself a garbage garbage because of the darkness of Koreans. Although because it has to face the US market, it is not as dark as the plot, but the misery is consistent. In any case, it actually won the favor of the Americans. From this, it can probably be proved that Yin Ruzhen, who was blackened by people in the first half of his life, and took the initiative to blacken himself in the second half of his life, really understand the fundamentals of human nature, so as to achieve the turnaround of life.
