Her dream since childhood was to dance.
When he grew up, he became a film and television actor.
Chen Jin was born in Jinan in 1964, a typical military family.
Because of this, when she was a child, her name was "Jin", not "Jin".
Father hoped that she could have the rigor of a soldier and be careful in her words and deeds.
It's just that as she grows up day by day, she prefers to be unfettered.
Dance dreams are in her bones, just like nature, bouncing and jumping, can bring her a lot of happiness.
From toddler to slow talking, the little girl was dancing.
Her parents saw that she liked it and were ready to train her in this regard.
One day, the mother took her daughter to the Children's Palace and wanted to sign her up for a dance class.
Who knew that the staff carefully looked her mother up and down, left and right.
"Forget it, she's not fit to learn this."
In this way, her dance dreams can only be dreams.
Many years later, Chen Jin still has an unspeakable love for dance.
She believes that people did not accept her at that time, mainly because her mother was too fat, an extremely ordinary middle-aged woman.
In each other's minds, dance requires talent and a certain heredity.
So they think her daughter probably won't be a good fit for dance either.
Although the dream of dancing did not become a reality, at the age of 19, she still entered the Shandong Academy of Arts.
The dance then became a theatrical, all performances, but the latter was more multifaceted.
After graduation, Chen Jin was assigned to the Air Politics Repertory Theatre.
For Chen Jin, this seems to be the beginning of her own punching card to work.
At the beginning of graduation, she starred as the heroine in the drama "Snow Peak Love" rehearsed by the unit.
At that time, in order to highlight the image of the characters on the stage, they often put on a lot of makeup.
She was a bit repulsive, but on the theatrical stage, sometimes these were necessary.
At the age of 24, Chen Jin appeared on the screen for the first time.
The movie "The Devoured Woman" is her first film and television work.
There is still a big difference between the two before the camera and on the stage.
However, with the first attempt, she has a good control over the rhythm of the performance.
The next year, a rural emotional drama found her.
"Mountains Don't Turn Water", Li Baotian and Lu Yi are the male protagonists, and director Shi Xuehai makes her the female protagonist.
After the TV series aired, it won the Feitian Award.
For Chen Jin, being able to play a role in a good drama is naturally a good experience.
In the same year, she also starred in the TV series "Tide Rises and Falls" starring Li Youbin.
After the show aired, five one project awards and the Flying Sky Award were won.
Although he just debuted, he got a great opportunity to star in film and television dramas.
However, due to the small number of home televisions at that time, the shooting and broadcast of TV series was somewhat equivalent to the mode of movies.
At that time, Chen Jin was not only a newcomer, but also had not yet established an eye rim among the audience.
In 1989, she also starred in the play "Distant Clouds, Near Clouds".
At that time, Chen Jin was not constrained in her work.
If you want to take on any play, you can go wherever you want.
It's just that when there is a performance in the unit, you need to participate.
Another point is that as a soldier, you can't go abroad.
Chen Jin wants to go out and see, or have a novel attitude towards life and the world.
However, at that time, it was not as convenient to go abroad as it is now, and more importantly, she was still wearing a military uniform.
Therefore, this thought can only be buried deep in the depths of one's own heart.
In 1990, she rehearsed the play "Black Shadow".
After that, he starred in the TV series "We Were Soldiers".
At this time, Chen Jin sometimes plays a leading role in dramas, and most of the images in film and television dramas are still supporting roles.
And some film and television dramas cannot be released for various reasons after they are filmed.
Later, in the large-scale sitcom "I Love My Home", she also played a role.
At this point, in addition to urban themes, and then to rural themes,
In various types of dramas, she plays a character image that is positive or even somewhat serious.
The reason is that many directors feel that her image can only shape this type of role.
So gradually, she often showed herself as a cold face on the screen.
Chen Jin later said that at the beginning, she also tried to make changes.
But she soon discovered that there are some things that can be changed through her own efforts.
But some things are carved in the bones, and no matter what, they can't be changed.
Therefore, as more and more roles are interpreted, she puts herself in the position of a foil.
I still remember when I was studying at an art school, I had a very beautiful friend around me.
No matter what occasion this friend appears, his body seems to have his own light,
Everyone else becomes a foil for falling into the darkness.
In fact, at that time, she had this feeling about the external image.
It's just that young people have a high heart, their hearts are still more energetic, and the more things they can't achieve, the more they want to try.
In the early days, she worked very hard to groom her appearance.
Sometimes an eyebrow line or a lip color, she can look in the mirror for half a day.
However, after some twists and turns, I finally couldn't find the feeling I wanted.
Therefore, the further you go, the more you will slowly relax about this in your heart.
After all, she learned one thing through this,
These outward appearances do not rely on hard work to get the results you want.
After figuring this out, it became easier for her to officially start filming.
Many female actors enter the crew, in addition to carrying their own cosmetics, but also repeatedly entangled with the makeup artists of the crew.
And Chen Jin later said that sometimes she entered the crew without even bringing a mirror.
At the same time, when communicating with the makeup artist, she did not want to overdo it.
Because after shooting several scenes, she slowly found that the actors in the process of performing, in fact, are different from the frozen photos.
Actors' photos, especially portraits, often focus on the faces of the characters,
Therefore, after a certain amount of makeup, modification and selection of angles, the best side can be fixed.
But acting is different.
Whether it's a TV series, a movie, or a stage play, the actors themselves are always moving around.
The angle is always changing, and the state presented at this time is actually the actor himself.
However, Chen Jin also said that due to the use of film in the early years of shooting,
Some shots prefer to push into the actor's face.
She herself was most afraid of such shots.
Chen Jin thinks that she is not good-looking, and in future shooting, she prefers to use the middle shot during shooting.
Let an actor flow to show his own unique side.
These experiences are all little by little she has groped up in her first 10 years of filming.
At the age of 32, she took over a campus-themed TV series "Campus Pioneer".
In the play, she played a female class teacher in high school.
With this role, she won the subsequent Feitian Award for Outstanding Heroine.
Heavyweight awards are in hand, and for an actor, it is a recognition of his own performance.
After filming this scene, she changed her name from "Jin" to "Jin".
Three years later, the movie "Born out of nowhere" won her the Huabiao Award and the Golden Rooster Award in one fell swoop.
From TV series to movies, her performances have been fully recognized.
Subsequently, with 2000's "Relying on Each Other Year", she won the Best Actress award of the Magnolia Award.
For her, the heavyweight awards in the domestic film and television industry, she basically holds in her hands.
It was also during this period that the thoughts in her mind that she did not want to be bound became more and more intense.
At that time, her desire to go abroad became stronger.
However, because the files and identity documents are in the unit, she cannot handle the formalities.
In the eyes of others, this is not a big deal, and since you can't go, it's better not to go.
But Chen Jin himself didn't think so.
After working for so many years, when there is no drama, staying in Beijing or going to other places,
The unit does not restrict you, as long as it is at home, come and go freely.
Only in the early days, I occasionally had to go to the regiment to report on it.
Sometimes there will be a centralized meeting, and sometimes there will be some activities organized.
For her, such a life, although stable, is already tired.
The only thought in her mind at that time was to go abroad.
In order to achieve this goal, she simply submitted an application for job transfer to the unit.
Friends around her think she is crazy, isn't it just going abroad to play, how can she make such a big fuss?
In the minds of many people, going abroad is traveling, and it is not worth it to make a fuss about this matter to throw away all the work in the system.
But she herself didn't think so, and she felt that going abroad was important to her.
In Chen Jin's mind, there is a desire for the unknown and freshness.
If she can't go out and see it in her lifetime, it may be the most humiliating thing for her.
So it's not hard to see that others treat work as a part of their lives.
However, in Chen Jin's view, everything in life is experience, even work.
It is precisely because she made such a bizarre move that many people do not understand her.
So much so that some people still say that she is just throwing away her good work in order to play, which is not a plaything.
What she herself thinks is that when she goes out to experience new excitement, broadens her horizons, and feels a different life.
It is said that the first day she completed the formalities for changing jobs and got her identity card back, she ran to get her passport.
Stepping out of the street outside the unit, her only feeling was that she could come and go freely from now on.
However, then another question came to mind.
She didn't know a foreign language, everything was ready, but she didn't dare to travel.
Especially when going to some countries in the Middle East, such as Egypt, my family is opposed.
So when she wants to go anywhere in the future, she can only go around asking, is it going abroad? If you want to go, you must take her with you.
Once she was going to France, and it took her a while to find someone to organize a team.
But when applying for a visa, she didn't know why, others successfully handled it, but her own could not do it.
It was difficult to do it, because the previously booked plane and hotel could not be changed, and those friends could only leave in advance.
So, the time shifted, and she couldn't catch up everywhere like a fart worm in the back.
So that when she arrived in Paris, her friends all went to the next stop, and she had to find a place to stay alone.
That feeling made her unhappy, but it was a fresh feeling she had never felt before, and she couldn't stop it.
Her casual state of liking freshness is reflected in all aspects of life.
Once, a friend suddenly found her sitting alone on the road outside.
The friend still thought that she was wrong, and hurried over to inquire.
And she herself said, it's okay, she just thinks the sun here feels good, so she just sits for a while.
Originally, she still went out to run errands that time, but after sitting down, it was more than an hour.
This personality makes her, to a certain extent, not want to fall into the trivialities of life.
Years later, she said in an interview that she didn't like to live a concrete life.
Seeing chai rice oil and salt will have a headache feeling.
Therefore, from her young age to middle age, in addition to shaping the image of her wife in film and television dramas,
In real life, she has never walked into the siege of marriage.
Very simple thoughts, she herself does not like or agree with that kind of life.
So much so that whenever she talks to her family and friends about it, people worry about her future life.
And once, her brother said, if you are really old, then I can give you a pension.
Chen Jin's brother was also not married.
However, in Chen Jin's view, although his brother has such a heart, he is more like a child who has not grown up.
So what will happen to life in the future, she herself has said, will not say if.
As she grew older, she created more and more couples on the screen.
He has cooperated with Chen Daoming twice.
In the TV series "Winter Solstice", she played a resentful woman.
In the movie "Tangshan Earthquake", she played a military couple.
Although the attitude of life is casual and free, she has always been rigorous in order to shape the role.
The image of Chen Jin on the screen always carries the temperament of a thin female intellectual.
In order to maintain their temperament and image, there is a time, a day, a cup of coffee and a fruit passed.
Moreover, he will continue to swim 1,000 meters every day and practice yoga for several hours.
Moreover, her habit of not eating rice was maintained for 20 years.
Therefore, in Chen Jin's view, being an actor may have the saying that God appreciates rice.
But in her own case, such a statement does not exist.
Because she needs to insist on doing something to snatch the rice bowl from God's hand.
In 2017, director Miao Yue found her and wanted to invite her to star in the movie "Eighteen-Hole Village".
At that time, she was getting eczema all over her body and did not want to go.
However, the director was "stalking", and she starred in the drama ma mei.
With the shaping of this role, she won the Best Actress of the Hundred Flowers Award.
From modern dramas to costume dramas, from housewives to doctors and teachers,
Over the decades, Chen Jin has created many screen images, and each role is in line with its own positioning.
Today's Chen Jin does not go online, and she does not know what dynamics are in the entertainment industry.
Very early on, she said she was a net-illiterate.
So apart from work, all that's left is her comfortable life.
