When Lin Fangbing was 16 years old, she was already very moving, and director Chen Xing found her photo in a photo studio and asked her to play the heroine of "Valley Love Song", "Dali", and has been associated with the movie ever since.
In the same year, she starred in "Jade Crush Palace Dump", playing Princess Tana.
These two films caused a lot of repercussions at the time, and the film magazine reported that the fledgling Lin Fangbing became a small flower dan that attracted much attention in the film industry.
Her beauty, like Clear Water Hibiscus, attracted the audience and also attracted jealousy.
When she went to the bathroom to shoot "The Valley Love Song" in the long shadow, a piece of glass fell from the sky and almost cut off her nose.

Lin Fangbing was frightened, and before he could ease up, he leaked out her suspected indecent photos.
In the early 1980s, Lin Fangbing, who was only 16 years old, could not take such a photo, but he could not argue and cried with anger.
Thanks to the help of an experienced editor, she proved that the photos were technically synthesized, not Lin Fangbing himself, and she gained her innocence.
The waters of showbiz are too deep, and it is not uncommon to retaliate for the sake of competition.
Newcomer Lin Fangbing just entered the circle and encountered these right and wrong, exhausted, and even had the idea of quitting the circle, fortunately she still insisted.
In 1982, Lin Fangbing was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, and before he entered the school, he starred with Zhou Lijing in Xie Fei's "Our Field".

When director Chen Jialin asked Lin Fangbing to play Yang Yuhuan, she thought that the director had found the wrong person: her slender figure and modern foreign appearance were not in line with Yang Guifei, who was fat and beautiful.
Chen Jialin, who is familiar with history, identified Lin Fangbing among thousands of candidate actresses and believed that Yang Guifei was none other than her.
Lin Fangbing asked Chen Jialin why he had a crush on her?
Chen Jialin replied, "You have an innate taste of ancient poetry. ”
Lin Fangbing loves poetry and song, her beauty has more flavor of classical Chinese literature than other actresses, and she is destined to be born for the role of Yang Guifei.

After the mother took the medicine, there was no feeling of miscarriage, and came to the old Chinese medicine doctor again, the old Chinese medicine doctor smiled and said: "I prescribed you a fetal medicine, go back and give birth to the child, I took your pulse, this is an unusual child." ”

"When I was in the first grade, my father told me the origin of my birth and my name. After listening to my heart, I am particularly grateful to my mother, if it were not for my mother's indifference to fame and fortune and valuing family affection, there might not have been me; if my mother had a thought difference, there would still be no me. ”
