In the 7080s, there was a legendary actress in the Chinese film industry, who not only had outstanding acting skills but also had a charming appearance.
Some fans commented that she is a clear water hibiscus, natural without carving, she is "a flower on the shadow" of Wu Haiyan.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" ></h1>
Wu Haiyan, born in Shanghai in 1954, has a very good family background.
Wu Haiyan's father was a high-ranking cadre at the military level at that time, and his mother was an actor in the cultural troupe of the military region, and he was also a well-known presence in the cultural troupe.
Although Wu Haiyan was born in such a powerful family, she did not become a spoiled big lady.
The family attaches great importance to the cultivation of Wu Haiyan, and the "rich support" that parents think is to cultivate children to have a rich spiritual world.
From the age of five, Wu Haiyan's childhood life was clearly arranged by her family and she began to study Peking Opera.
Because of her young age, Wu Haiyan is also optimistic by nature, and such a soft and cute and lively girl is loved by everyone in the drama academy.
Growing up a little, Wu Haiyan's parents sent her to the Fujian Provincial Drama Academy for further study.
Every day in addition to practicing is studying, very boring, and Wu Haiyan stayed for six years at a young age.
At the age of eleven, Wu Haiyan graduated from secondary school and was assigned to the Fujian Peking Opera Troupe because of her excellent grades in school.
Don't look at Wu Haiyan's age, the aura is not small, after dressing up makeup, there is a look, so that people can lock her on the stage at a glance, and she has been shrouded by the protagonist's aura since childhood.
In the Peking Opera Troupe, Wu Haiyan later performed many classic works, such as "Red Lantern" and "Wise Tiger Mountain", which are familiar to everyone.
Then Peking Opera is different from the film and television drama culture after all, it can provide a limited stage, and at this time, an opportunity is like a comet smashing on Wu Haiyan's body.

In 1973, the Beijing Film Studio was preparing to make a feature film "Haixia", but it never found a suitable person to play the role of "Haixia".
At that time, the director was selecting a location in Fujian, and by chance, the director saw Wu Haiyan playing the role of Jiang Haiying in the Peking Opera "Ode to longjiang".
At that time, I felt that Wu Haiyan was very suitable for the role of "Haixia", and decided on the spot to invite Wu Haiyan to star in this movie.
Later, someone asked the director why he was so sure that Wu Haiyan could play this role in this way, and the director said: In addition to the external image of the protagonist, Wu Haiyan's own cultural literacy is also very high.
Sure enough, in the follow-up shooting, Wu Haiyan not only showed the excellent quality of hard-working, but also had a strong heart.
These are the temperaments that an island female militia captain should have, so it is very successful for Wu Haiyan to portray this role.
Because the shooting scenes are all filmed on the spot, mosquitoes are indispensable in the hot summer of Fujian, and the actresses who are with them are miserable.
Wu Haiyan also had a lot of bags on her body because of mosquito bites, but she never complained.
There were only two phones in the crew, and when she called her parents, she always told funny things about herself during filming.
There is no mention of the difficulties he encountered in shooting a movie for the first time, and the sad grievances he encountered. The director also looks at this sensible girl in the eyes and shows great importance.
Sure enough, as soon as "Haixia" was broadcast, it set off terrifying waves.
Wu Haiyan, who originally only had a little reputation on the theater stage, suddenly became well known.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" >3</h1>
After the hit of "Haixia", Wu Haiyan also became a hot actor.
But at this time, Wu Haiyan, who should have continued to be active on the screen, was once again transferred back to the Peking Opera Troupe where she was originally located.
But such an excellent and good actor was never buried, and in 1978, through the coordination of the Shanghai Film Studio, Wu Haiyan was directly included in the actors troupe.
After entering the studio, Wu Haiyan first starred in some works such as the well-known movie "Green Sea Tianya".
For some reasons, these films did not exceed the response caused by "Haixia" at that time, and some audiences continued to support it.
In 1979, this was a very important turning point for Wu Haiyan.
At that time, two very good scripts successively found Wu Haiyan, first tang Huada's director "Waiting for the Mountains to Be Full of Red Leaves", followed by Huang Zumo's "Lushan Love".
When Wu Haiyan got the invitation, she was really troubled, which made her extremely distressed for a while.
For her, she loves both scripts.
What attracted her more was that the heroine in "Lushan Love" was very suitable for Wu Haiyan in terms of image and role fit, but despite this, Wu Haiyan still did not choose this movie.
Because the first to find Wu Haiyan is director Tang Huada, she also likes the movie "Wait until the mountains are full of red leaves".
Romantic films, which are full of romanticism, can detach the main body of the film from pure love and love to the height of righteousness, which is very connotative.
And if Wu Haiyan refused to find her director Tang Huada first and chose another one, then she must have lost her integrity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="30" >4</h1>
Later, Huang Zumo's "Lushan Love" re-found an actress to play, and this actress was Zhang Yu.
Although Zhang Yu was not the most suitable actor for the heroine at the beginning of the director's choice, it has to be said that through Zhang Yu's efforts, the heroine Zhou Yun was played well by Zhang Yu.
In the grasp of the role and the grasp of emotions just right, in 1980 "Lushan Love" became a hit.
At the same time, after the film became popular, it brought great benefits to Zhang Yu, who participated in the female lead, not only opened his popularity, but also won the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award the following year.
At that time, many actresses after the double shadow could not be red-eyed, and Zhang Yu became the biggest beneficiary of Wu Haiyan's original choice.
On the other hand, Wu Haiyan, when "Waiting for the Mountains to Red Leaves" was broadcast, it was also well received, and the cinema was full of people, but there was still some gap between the response and "Lushan Love".
In the follow-up interview with Wu Haiyan, the reporter asked a very tricky question, asking Wu Haiyan whether she regretted not choosing "Lushan Love" after seeing Zhang Yu's success.
Wu Haiyan calmly replied that she did not regret choosing this film, both works are very good, can only say that everyone can get different opportunities.
This frank answer gave the audience a wave of favorability, and did not denigrate any party, but just did what they had to do.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="37" >5</h1>
After that interview, the directors also had a new understanding of Wu Haiyan, such a smart and high emotional intelligence of the girl everyone is happy to cooperate with her.
In 1983, Wu Haiyan received the TV series "The Legend of huansha girl", in which she played Xi Shi, one of the four great beauties of ancient times.
Wu Haiyan has always had an obsession and yearning for the four beautiful women, hoping that she can play all four of them in her acting career.
In the play, Xi Shi, played by Wu Haiyan, has an outstanding temperament, cold and elegant, which makes everyone impressed by her beauty for a time.
At that time, the Hong Kong media rushed to report on Wu Haiyan's Xi shi after the TV series was broadcast, so when everyone knew about Wu Haiyan's dream, they did not laugh at her for not measuring up, but felt that she deserved it.
A few years later, the movie "Yang Guifei" was planned, and Wu Haiyan proposed herself to play Yang Guifei.
Everyone knows that Yang Guifei's figure is more plump than the other three ancient beauties, so when the news was reported at that time, everyone was afraid that Wu Haiyan would not be able to create this role.
What surprised everyone was that "Yang Guifei" received unanimous praise from everyone as soon as it was broadcast, and the public about Yang Guifei portrayed by Wu Haiyan felt very expressive.
In the film, her smile is full of the charm of the first beauty of the tang dynasty, and also performs the dignity and generosity of the noble concubine, which can be said to be a visual feast.
Unfortunately, as Wu Haiyan grew older and did not meet the script of the other two beauties, her dream could never be completed.
Later, talking about this past, Wu Haiyan also smiled and said that if she was ten years younger, she would definitely be able to complete this dream.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" >6</h1>
Wu Haiyan's acting career continues to become popular, and there are countless scripts that find her at each stage.
The director of "White Lotus" found Wu Haiyan, the white lotus in this film is not what we understand now, the white lotus in the play is a young girl who is jealous and hateful, dares to love and hate.
At that time, Wu Haiyan's first was a little girl who was no longer seventeen or eighteen years old, and the second was that Wu Haiyan's appearance was biased towards small and fresh, afraid that she could not fit the character image very well.
However, although it was a challenge, Wu Haiyan still chose to take over the role.
Because Wu Haiyan feels that she admires the character of White Lotus very much, and feels that this film should allow her to learn the good qualities of many characters.
Originally, creating a character is equivalent to living a life of this character, so in the performance of this film, Wu Haiyan really made a big change.
When the film finally aired, it did not disappoint everyone. Wu Haiyan in the movie, with two small braids, rides a horse and shoots a gun, dares to love and dare to hate. Let everyone feel that the role of the white lotus she plays is difficult to surpass.
With this role, Wu Haiyan made the audience who was not optimistic about him feel surprised again, and her acting skills were not only recognized by the public, but also climbed to the eighth place among the top ten film beauties in Hong Kong with this film.
I have to say that Wu Haiyan's decision this time is very bold, but it is also very successful, refreshing everyone's inherent impression of her and discovering more possibilities for her acting career.
Wu Haiyan has achieved great success in his career, and his smooth acting career has not made him lose himself. On the contrary, it has been constantly summarizing and thinking on this road that Wu Haiyan has gone farther and farther.
Maybe it's his career success that makes him less stressed and better able to think about what he should face.
So it can be said that he has achieved a double harvest in both his career and family.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="44" >7</h1>
Wu Haiyan had already talked about the object when she was in the Peking Opera Troupe, that is, her current husband Zhang Xiaoshen.
Zhang Xiaoshen is a veteran of Peking Opera, who is a colleague of Wu Haiyan and is also Wu Haiyan's brother-in-law, and he took good care of her when she was still not even starting acting.
The road of love between the two did not encounter any big winds and waves, and it was such a bland happiness that made them accompany them until now.
Speaking of the road of love, in an interview, Wu Haiyan revealed some things about her love affair with Zhang Xiaoshen at that time.
When Zhang Xiaoshen found that he liked this stubborn girl in his daily practice, he did not dare to tell her at all.
Later, because Wu Haiyan wanted to go out to shoot a drama, he couldn't see her for a month or two, Zhang Xiaoshen waited every day, and he didn't dare to reveal his feelings when he wrote a letter, so he said that everyone in the group asked her together.
After filming Wu Haiyan was transferred back, Zhang Xiaoshen made up his mind to summon up the courage to explain his intentions to Wu Haiyan, and Wu Haiyan was shocked and did not immediately agree to him.
After going back, Wu Haiyan seriously thought about her feelings for him, and finally the ending was good, and after some consideration, Wu Haiyan agreed.
True feelings are both in both directions, and it is never a person who has been working hard.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="51" >8</h1>
Later, after graduating from the Shanghai Opera School, Zhang Xiaoshen also became a national first-class actor.
The two chose to marry in a low-key manner at the peak of Wu Haiyan's career, and shortly after the marriage, Wu Haiyan also chose to slowly quit the show business circle and return to the family.
Parents do not have much participation in Wu Haiyan's love, for them, the daughter is raised by themselves, they still believe in the vision, and they have heard about Zhang Xiaoshen's excellence.
Because Wu Haiyan and Zhang Xiaoshen were once classmates and then peers, they are relatively unified in their environment and ideas, have common topics and hobbies, and the most important thing is to support each other and understand each other.
Since the marriage of the two, there has been no scandal, and the love is as good as ever, and Wu Haiyan has slowly faded out of the show business circle.
Today, Wu Haiyan is 68 years old, although she has retired, but in the recent recent photos, she is still in full shape, and the beauty is not in the skin.
Although there were inevitably traces of age on her face, she didn't seem to care, and in her leisure time she would sing, dance, recite, write, etc.
Wu Haiyan devoted the first half of her life to her acting career, and she is a real person who is acting for the sake of acting.
Because she loves this business, she can always persevere.
History should not be a shackle that stays on its own, but should be the wisdom of life that reads thousands of sails and lives in the present.
She came from the masses and went to the masses, compared with the impetuous entertainment industry juniors, she focused her personal energy on creation, rather than endlessly hyping.
