Recently a Korean drama "Dafa Real Estate" has been frequently brushed on the hot search, if you only look at the title of the play is easy to misunderstand that this is a life drama, or a worse workplace drama, but after watching it, I know that this is actually a suspense drama that is not suitable for watching alone at night, telling the story of the male and female protagonists as exorcists to clean up the evil for the real estate of the dead, and the exorcist Hong Zhiya is played by Zhang Nala, the goddess of many otaku teenagers.
She was once known as the goddess of childlike beauty, became popular because of a delicate baby face, became the first Successful introduction of Han Xing in China, and was the only foreigner in the 100-person chorus music MV of "Welcome to Beijing", and was once a good friend of Jackie Chan and an ambassador of Sino-Korean friendship.
However, she was spurned by the Chinese audience because she said the wrong thing at the right time, and even if she repeatedly explained the apology through various channels, she did not get forgiveness from the Chinese audience.
Zhang Nala debuted as a child star in South Korea, and her father Zhang Jiaoran was a famous Korean drama actor in the last century, who later transformed into a director and is a well-respected predecessor in the Korean film and television circle.
When Zhang Nala was 5 years old, she made her first cameo performance in her father's stage play, showing extraordinary talent, so her father began to explore her talent in acting from an early age.
Because when she was born in high school, her father also introduced her to many advertisements for girls' clothing and stationery supplies, and she has long been famous in South Korea.
Later, Zhang Nala entered the drama department of Seoul University, embarked on the road of professional actors, released her first solo album "first story" in her second year of college, and officially debuted as a singer, and zhang Nala won a number of awards in Korean pop music in 2001 with this album.
After that, Zhang Nala served as the host of many entertainment programs, and at the same time starred in the TV series "Bright Girl Success" to officially enter the film and television drama market, this Cinderella monster upgrade cool drama in that year occupied 40% of the same period of TV dramas, so that major radio stations saw the huge potential value of her.
Subsequently, Zhang Nala took advantage of the victory to pursue and shoot the typical sweet pet drama of "The Love of the Red Bean Girl", which further consolidated Zhang Nala's popularity.
After gaining enough popularity, Zhang Nala began to enter the film market, and in 2003, a "Naughty Girl Courtship" sent her to the podium of the "Big Bell Award", and was nominated for best newcomer and best actress at the same time, when she was still a college student.
Before the Korean entertainment industry idol route was officially formed, Zhang Nala can be regarded as the earliest top stream, and the three works that debuted had the same style, almost all of which were tailored to her appearance, basically starring in the true color.
But with a baby face, exquisite facial features, and fair skin, Zhang Nala can quickly remember and like her.
After graduating from university in 2004, Zhang Nala, who was in the ascendancy period, was suddenly arranged by her father to develop in China, and began to contact the resources of the domestic film and television circle as a Chinese propaganda ambassador, at that time Zhang Nala herself did not understand, but when the fig leaf of the Korean entertainment industry was completely lifted many years later, she understood how wise Zhang Jiaoran's choice was.
Zhang Jiaoran once said that even if he has a certain degree of popularity and status in the Korean film and television circle, he still cannot protect his daughter in every way, because the living environment of Korean artists at the beginning of the two thousand years has been quite bad, unequal contracts abound, and they also have to face super public opinion pressure, and even the threat of gangsters, even the second generation of stars like Zhang Nala will be forced to sing in bars, so Zhang Jiaoran was more optimistic about the clean Chinese market at that time.
So in that year, the father and daughter crossed the ocean to China, the first work in the film was the diameter nortel's "Silver Years", in which she played a female student who came to Nortel from South Korea to study, this role is basically the true color, but the shooting environment and the directors and actors who cooperate are very good, so that Zhang Nala quickly adapted to the filming process of Chinese film and television dramas, and then she signed a contract with "Hype King" Deng Jianguo, who joined the Chinese entertainment industry.
In 2005, Zhang Nala cooperated with Su Youpeng to shoot "Princess Diao Man", at that time, there were few delicate and small actresses like her in the internal entertainment, so the appearance of Zhang Nala made the audience have a bright feeling, coupled with the playful performance methods trained in Korean idol dramas before, it was even more novel and interesting, so no matter how bloody the plot of this drama was and how cheap Fu Huadao was, it did not affect Zhang Nala's rapid popularity in China.
However, because there was a dubbing when the TV series was broadcast, the audience learned a long time later that this "Diao Man Princess" was actually from South Korea, so they went to open the film and television drama she shot in South Korea, and found that it was very top-notch.
In order to open the Chinese market as soon as possible, Zhang Nala also released Chinese album, although it did not sell well, but it still effectively showed her singing and dancing skills.
Subsequently, she was invited to participate in the "Jackie Chan and His Friends" Nanjing concert, which once again increased her popularity by a notch.
There is no doubt that in the most friendly years between China and South Korea, Zhang Nala was the first Korean star successfully introduced by China, and she herself has always shown her love for China, and is also doing her best to give back the love of Chinese fans, in 2006, she participated in the "Return Children Healthy Tomorrow" Chinese and Korean song will help children with eye diseases.
In 2007, the "Zhang Nala Love Fund" was established to rescue children with leukemia in Jinan, and held a number of concerts in the local area to raise funds for the foundation;
In 2008, he donated 274,000 yuan to Wenchuan, and children's clothing worth 1 million yuan, and composed the single "We" to care for and encourage children in the disaster area.
With such a close-to-China behavior, Zhang Nala has been recognized by the mainstream media, becoming the torchbearer of the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay in Seoul, and participating in the mv recording of the Theme Song of the Beijing Olympic Games "Beijing Welcomes You", and she is the only foreigner among the hundreds of participating stars.
It can be seen that Zhang Nala was not only popular in China but also had a very good reputation, and if there was no subsequent act of death, there might have been a different ending.
We like you so much that you're here to make money
In 2009, the popular Zhang Nala returned to South Korea, with a feeling of honor returning to her hometown, filming the movie "Sky and Ocean" from the official announcement of the file has attracted much attention, in order to promote the film she went on a popular variety show in South Korea "Strong Heart".
This show is also liked by many viewers in China, and the rules of the game in the show are to say some exciting news and test how strong the mental endurance is.
And Zhang Nala broke the news in the show that her father's films invested in South Korea often failed, and in order to make money for her father, she often had to go to China, and this paragraph of Korean was directly subtitled as "go to China when you lack money" in later translation.
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused strong dissatisfaction among the vast number of Chinese audiences, and it was once rapidly fermented on the Internet, and finally it was no longer an entertainment overturning incident but rose to the height of insulting and anti-China.
Netizens are very angry that Zhang Nala is harmless and innocent and cute on the surface, showing her liking for China everywhere, but after returning to South Korea, she joked that China's money is easy to earn, as if to say that "Chinese audiences are stupid people with more money", we like you so much, you are actually here to circle money.
A large number of netizens also pointed the spearhead at The agency where Zhang Nala worked, as well as the producers and event organizers who had invited her to perform, saying that they were admiring the foreign world and giving Korean artists sky-high rewards.
Soon Zhang Nala was boycotted in China, and the "Iron Mask Singer" filmed with Lu Yi was broadcast after the ratings hit the street, and many businesses also terminated their contracts, so Zhang Nala and her father Zhang Jiaoran held a press conference to explain that the original words in the program were not like this, it was a problem of post-editing and subtitles.
But some netizens who understand Korean turned out the original film, directly hit back at her no matter how she translated, the basic meaning is no different, do not play word games.
In addition to the press conference, Zhang Nala also apologized through Weibo and other channels, but the effect was minimal. However, the father and daughter are still trying their best to save the Chinese market, first filming a sketch called "Learning Chinese" in Shenyang, Tianjin and other satellite TV performances, and taking the opportunity of reporter interviews to constantly explain the previous misunderstanding.
After that, he continued the style of "Diao Man Princess" and filmed the TV series "Diao Man Pretty Imperial Doctor", but it did not set off any splashes, and even the movie "FlyIng Together" starring Lin Zhiying, an immortal male god, was still unable to remedy.
In desperation, Zhang Nala turned the focus of her career back to South Korea, but the Korean market has long changed, Song Huiqiao, Han Caiying, Kim Tae-hee has opened the hegemonic screen mode, singing and dancing has begun to vigorously develop the girl group, the girl's generation is red and hot, and Zhang Nala is difficult to find her own position for a while, for a long time in a dilemma, and even began to play the role of playing soy sauce in some films.
Putting aside the impact of that improper remark, Zhang Nala's acting skills are still remarkable, looking at the current state of the Korean entertainment industry, there are already a few people like him who can act with peace of mind.
After returning to China for many years, Zhang Nala finally succeeded in becoming popular with "The Character of the Queen", and at this time, the 37-year-old Zhang Nala played a girl again without any violation, and the screenwriter of this drama is Jin Shunyu, who wrote "The Temptation of The Wife", although the plot is very bloody, it is still addictive, setting a super high rating.
In 2019, Zhang Nala starred in a poignant short film with a baby alone, which was widely forwarded on the Internet, and in just ten minutes of the film, Zhang Nala vividly interpreted the despair and bitterness of the "widowed" parenting mother, which shows that whether it is red or not, her acting skills have been fully recognized by the audience.
When starring in "Dafa Real Estate" this year, Zhang Nala was 40 years old, but the audience lamented that her childlike face was still the same, and her partner did not have any age difference after 90, cp was full of feelings, and indeed she was still a goddess.
Not long ago, Zhang Nala participated in a variety show in South Korea when she talked about the "circle money" incident again, still very aggrieved, but also said that she hopes to return to China to develop, but is very afraid that going back will be boycotted by netizens, for many years she has not cancelled her Weibo account, and occasionally updated, but the active fans have become less and less, China in the end has become a place she wants to come and dare not come.
