Recently, on the stage of the competitive acting competition variety show "Actors Please Take Place Season 2", the famous director Er Dongsheng, as a senior and mentor, made sharp comments on the performance of young actors. The crying scene of the blunt actor Chen Youwei is like chewing gum, while the appearance of actress Wang Churan is a big catch in the industry. The poisonous but appropriate comments have benefited young actors such as Chen Youwei, but also inspired them to work harder and bravely.
Not everyone in the entertainment industry gets an "S grade" as soon as they are born, and even fewer are born for the profession of actor. This year, South Korean actress Jang Hye-jin, who won the Oscar podium for playing the mother of a poor family in the movie "Parasite", who thought that she was also a poor acting student, and also quit the entertainment industry. This year, at the age of 45, she won her first major award in her life, the Best Newcomer Award at the Baeksang Art Awards. In Ma Su, Ni Hongjie and other middle-aged actors have complained about the age of no drama, Zhang Huizhen's path as an actor has just bloomed.
In 1994, with the dream of becoming an actress, 19-year-old Jang Hye-jin came to Seoul alone from Busan to study, becoming a new student majoring in acting at the Drama Theater of Korea National University for the Arts. However, regardless of appearance, or acting skills, she is not outstanding, compared with Zhang Dongjian and Li Shanjun, who have their own light in the same class, can get more than A results in each professional evaluation, Zhang Huizhen's performance is judged to be F unqualified almost every time, and Zhang Huizhen, who is full of enthusiasm, is poured with cold water again and again.
As a result, Zhang Huizhen practiced acting harder, often studying the role and reciting lines all night. But perhaps there is really no talent, watching Zhang Dongjian and other students who became superstars as soon as they debuted, Zhang Huizhen is still struggling to pass the semester exam. After graduating with difficulties, Zhang Huizhen ushered in the first work of her life, the short love movie "Snowy Christmas". In the film, Zhang Huizhen's disastrous acting skills caused wild ridicule in the industry. "Like wood", "a wall without emotion that can only talk", "Anything works, it's not okay to act", and so on. Although the teacher is unfavorable, Zhang Huizhen's serious attitude and professionalism have been affirmed by the staff.
Perhaps at some point, Zhang Huizhen realized that some things may indeed be that only hard work is not enough. Zhang Huizhen, who packed her bags, returned to her hometown of Busan and engaged in a profession unrelated to the actor. She started as a supermarket clerk, and because she was very diligent, she took care of everything in the store in an orderly manner. Later, when she jumped to a department store, she actually became a sales king and was commended many times. During this period, she was once recommended to star in Bong Joon-ho's famous work "Memories of Killing", which is still a newcomer director, but she felt that she had not yet adjusted her mentality and refused.
But perhaps she was always obsessed with acting, and perhaps from the beginning she did not really let go of her dream of becoming an actress, although she did not accept the invitation of director Bong Joon-ho, but Jang Hye-jin returned to Seoul. She re-found a job at acting school, working during the day and sneaking back to the studio at night to practice acting. Finally, after nine years of blank period, Zhang Huizhen ushered in her own life turnaround.
In 2007, a small supporting role without a few shots in the movie "Miyang" allowed Zhang Huizhen to regain her enthusiasm and confidence in acting. Because director Li Cangdong deliberately used a large number of non-professional actors in order to pursue the authenticity of the performance. Years of life experience and work experience have made Zhang Huizhen's performance in the film more than comfortable, and she has gradually found her own performance style and emotional processing.
Zhang Huizhen has successively starred in films with different themes such as "Sea Boy" and "Poetry", although they are all supporting roles with few roles, but her drama path is getting wider and wider. In order to play the role of mother Zhongshu, fit the character image, and experience the true emotions of the characters, Zhang Huizhen deliberately learned the chain ball. Her superb performance has been well received by audiences in different countries, and she has stood on the podium again and again in her debut for 22 years.
As a "drama throwing face", she played the role of Xu Dan's mother and the director of the department store in the hit drama "The Forced Landing of Love", and the high-grade performance in the play could not help but make people feel her strong role conversion ability. It is worth noting that Zhang Huizhen's husband is an ordinary outsider she met in the low period of her life, but even if Zhang Huizhen became famous later, the two opened a huge gap, but the relationship is still very good.
This year, she incarnated as an acting maniac, starred in two works of "Contract Friendship" and "Teacher Table", next month, she will cooperate with Park Ha-hyun and others in the work of "Postpartum Conditioner", and the film "Father Returns" with Zheng Xiujing will also be released on the same day. From poor acting skills to standing on the highest honor stage of the Oscars, the unique charm, the acting skills of the sense of expectation, and the precipitated temperament make this 45-year-old middle-aged actress really bloom on the screen, not losing to the young actors, perhaps for her, the wonderful second half of life has just begun. Just as the rating of the initial stage of "Actors Please Take Place Season 2" does not represent the end of life, expect the actors to counterattack the stage!
