Chen Xiuzhu, a 62-year-old veteran TVB artist, made public the news of her departure from the nest during the new drama "A Smile Crossing the Mortal World". It sounds a bit unexpected, but it's also expected. Tvb artists leave the nest or not, in fact, there is predictability to speak of, the most distinctive feature is the sudden decline in production, that is, what everyone calls less active, more often in the boiling time, stay up until the end of the contract, you can withdraw completely. For Chen Xiuzhu's performance in the past two years, of course, it cannot be said that she is staying up for the end of the contract, but the performance is not an indisputable fact, before this "A Smile Crossing the Mortal World", her last work has been traced back to 2018's "bb is coming", no work has come out in two years, this situation is very rare, and sure enough, Chen Xiuzhu really has the heart to leave the nest.
Chen Xiuzhu is called TVB's senior artist, and the word "senior" in it, she is well deserved. She has been in the industry for more than 40 years, and she has only worked for TVB for so many years, which can be called loyalty. Looking at Chen Xiuzhu's appearance today, it may be difficult to imagine that she is actually from Hong Kong Sister, and what is even more unexpected is that she was once the former Hua Dan. Chen Xiuzhu entered the Industry in 1979, and only won the fourth place when she did not enter the top three, but because of her fresh appearance, she was appreciated by TVB, plus she was also full of confidence in the development of the entertainment industry, so she signed TVB and officially entered the industry.
Chen Xiuzhu was also popular in the 80s, when Hong Kong was popular in costume dramas, and was happy to remake the works of Gu Long and Jin Yong, in the 80s she twice starred as a heroine, and Ren Yingying in the 80s version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" was played by her, and later Weng Meiling died, and she replaced the other party in "Nine Days of Phoenix Dance". It is also worth mentioning that the mainland audience after the 70s and 80s should not be unfamiliar with Chen Xiuzhu, and in the mainland version of the "List of Fengshen Gods" in the 90s, she played the role of Nüwa in the play, and was well known to mainland audiences. What I want to say is that Chen Xiuzhu's early development was very smooth, if it were not for the birth of children in the middle, perhaps today's development is a different scene.
Chen Xiuzhu has been in the entertainment industry for more than 40 years, and has not experienced too many storms and waves, but the fact of having a child has reversed her development and even affected her decision today. Chen Xiuzhu's love affair is not much, the outside world is more familiar with the businessman Lin Zhihua's relationship, but this relationship later ended without a problem, Chen Xiuzhu did not mention the reason for the separation of the two, and then never heard the news of her love. As a result, in 1999, at the age of 40, she quietly went to the United States to give birth to a child, and in addition to having a child, she also made this news public, but she did not answer the question of having a child, and has not disclosed the fatherhood of the child so far, leaving only a bold sentence "I have always wanted my own children, but I don't have to get married." ”
Although the matter of having a child out of wedlock did not have too bad an impact on her, but changed her development destiny, in the mid-90s Chen Xiuzhu once briefly left TVB, when she and Lin Zhihua fought fiercely, resolutely quit the circle of business, after the mid-90s breakup, she returned to TVB, and then gave birth to a son. The occurrence of this series of events has made her more and more distant from Hua Dan's position - when she came back after giving birth, she has become the royal mother in TVB dramas, and she has played the role of mother many times over the years. Not to mention, although she is no longer the heroine, she has successfully created the image of Chen Xiuzhu's royal mother, which has impressed today's new generation of audiences, and I have to say that this is also an achievement.
Careful viewers will find that Chen Xiuzhu's production reduction in the past two years has been very serious, from the previous average of three or four plays a year, to the later only one play, and even several years without works. In fact, after the broadcast of "Bb Is Coming" in 2018, there was no news of her new works, and after taking over the filming of "A Smile Across the Mortals" in 2020, it disappeared. And this is the prelude for the artist to leave the nest, that is to say, Chen Xiuzhu filmed "A Smile Across the Mortal World" to fulfill the last drama in the contract, and sure enough, Chen Xiuzhu was full with TVB in July 2020.
However, Chen Xiuzhu did not renew her contract this time, and did not immediately disclose the news of leaving the nest after the appointment, until recently promoting "A Smile Crossing the Mortal World", when the publicity was nearing the end, she expressed her feelings on social platforms. Regarding leaving the nest, Chen Xiuzhu downplayed it lightly, she politely said that there are dozens of decades in life, and she can use more than 40 years to do the same work, prove that she loves this job, enjoys the happiness and sadness that this job brings to herself, but the world is full of feasts, and it is also time to start a new life and look at the world to see if there is anything better to do.
Chen Xiuzhu did not disclose the reason for leaving the nest, but eight or nine did not leave ten, should still be because of her son. After Chen Xiuzhu gave birth to her son in 1999, her son has been living in the United States, for so many years, she has worked tirelessly to travel between China and the United States, and now that her son is 21 years old and grown up, she does not have to worry so much, but she also hopes to have more time to live with her son. In 2020, because of the epidemic, she needs to be quarantined at home and abroad, which makes her retreat. Counting the time, she has been in the industry for more than 40 years, once became popular, and now she is also highly respected, she has tried everything, and she will not regret leaving. Although Chen Xiuzhu left the nest, she did not say the words to death, a sentence "The earth is round, farewell is not the end" does not rule out that she will come back in the future. Respect her decision no matter what, and wish her a happy and healthy life in the future.
