Netflix announced the first cast of the drama version of "Three-Body", and the list of foreigners in the announced list was only two Asian faces. The producer is a large company in the United States, and the platform is not launched in China, so this drama obviously does not intend to face the Chinese market. Netflix estimates that it is ready to completely carry out a major overhaul of "The Three-Body Problem", and the story will definitely be separated from China's development.
Among them, there is a Chinese actor, the grandmother Zhou Caiqin, as the only two Asians, very noteworthy. Because coincidentally, just in the recently released movie "007: No Time to Die", she had a relationship with the series.
Everyone on earth knows that "007" is a series of movies, and this big IP has been popular around the world for more than half a century. In a "Thunder Valley" that was once starred by the original "007" Sean Connery, the opening scene is 007, a kaleidoscope of flowers, a secret agent who does not stick to the leaves, rolling the sheets with a delicate oriental doll.
This oriental doll is Zhou Caiqin, she is flirting with 007 with food metaphors, and then get up, pull down the mechanism, directly put 007 on the bed to fly, give a row of bullets. There are not many scenes, but she is also really down-to-earth, the first Chinese girl to appear on "007".
More than half a century has passed, 007 has changed generation after generation, and in "007: Casino Royale" starring Daniel Craig, Zhou Caiqin made a cameo appearance as a gambling guest. The second brush of the "007" movie is easy for many other key characters or big coffee characters, but for the Chinese, this is not an easy task.
An elderly actress who we mention the name and can't remember her face, which is not familiar to mainland audiences, can do such an easy thing, but it is not out of thin air.
It is often said that the economic base determines the superstructure, and this sentence is applied to people, and the same is true. Sometimes, the birth of a person determines everything.
Zhou Caiqin's father, Zhou Xinfang, was a famous Peking Opera master, her mother Qiu Lilin was the third lady of The Silver Building of Qiu Tianbao in Shanghai, and her maternal grandfather was a Customs official of Scottish descent. The love of the two people was in the case of Zhou Xinfang and his family, and he came to a violent elopement in a deviant way, and after having three children, the relationship was officially confirmed.
Genes have indeed played a great role, stemming from his father's acting talent, which must have been deeply implanted in Zhou Caiqin's bone marrow. Otherwise, why did Zhou Caiqin finally choose the path of an actor?
The path of an actor is not necessarily talented to support a person to complete it. At the beginning, Zhou Caiqin killed everyone in the British showbiz circle, starring in the stage play "Su Si Huang's World" at the age of 23, becoming the first Chinese star to appear on the stage of london's West End; followed by Zhou Caiqin's popularity in the UK, her cheongsam dress was imitated by women all over the UK; at the same time, she also had countless Chinese firsts.
Who knows, it is when people reach their peak, but they have suffered defeats in career and love. The investment in real estate failed, the house was all mortgaged, and it was learned from the newspaper that both parents died tragically in China. Zhou Caiqin, who felt that she had reached the end of her life, swallowed more than a dozen sleeping pills in one breath and prepared to follow her parents. However, these dozen sleeping pills failed to send her away and were rescued in time. She regained her life and decided to start all over again.
He was able to become a hit at a young age, enjoy a reputation throughout the United Kingdom, become a social circle master in London, and exchange cups with dignitaries. Life has fallen to the bottom, ready to die but can still be saved, want to die has not died, such luck can not be said to be bad.
Birth is not her decision, luck is sometimes accidental, but the mentality is unique to Zhou Caiqin.
When she was young and studying in England, when she met someone who harassed her, she would say: "fuck off." This sentence is estimated to be used to echo all the difficulties in her entire life.
Forty years old, I took night classes, began to study drama, took Shakespeare's courses, systematically studied Western theater, forgot the glitz of the past, and was with an ordinary group of typists, which is not something that anyone can have.
Besides, compared to when she was younger, her face is no longer there. The entertainment industry eats youth rice, and Zhou Caiqin can no longer exchange her face and body for any popularity. What she can do is to calm her mind, start from supporting roles, and play the roles of mother and grandmother.
Moreover, everyone understands that once they are old, many people obviously want to put aside their careers and no longer have any new attempts. But we also see that Zhou Caiqin, who is 85 years old this year, is still active in front of the screen, even if it is a cameo, occasionally as a "Heavenly Devil Thief Group", when a return to Jay Chou's grandmother, Zhou Caiqin is still happy in it.
