Recently, actor Jiang Xin has once again become the focus of everyone's attention because of the drama "Meritorious Service", and many friends have greatly admired Jiang Xin's acting skills after watching it.
The character played by Jiang Xin in "Meritorious Service" is Shen Jilan: Shen Jilan has won the medal of the Republic, is a national model worker, was elected as a deputy to the First People's Congress of the People's Republic of China, and her proposal of "equal pay for men and women for equal work" was written into the first Constitution of the People's Republic of China...
In "Meritorious Service", Jiang Xin played this simple and capable woman who pursues equality between men and women - as soon as she appeared, her face was yellow and black, wearing a thick cotton jacket, a strong body, and a confident and cheerful look... To be free is the appearance of a working woman who can endure hardships and work sharply.
Counting Jiang Xin's acting career, it has not been smooth sailing.
What she really entered the audience's field of vision was by relying on the role of Huafei in "The Biography of Zhen Huan": she played the arrogant but heart-wrenching Huafei vividly, and even some people commented that Jiang Xin was the most surprising one in "The Biography of Zhen Huan", although she was charming, she was very righteous, only in front of the emperor, and never bowed her head in front of other concubines... She has her own pride and momentum, even if she was later beaten into the cold palace, she still unceremoniously intimidated the nobles, and did not look self-pity at all... Such a concubine, until death, is a noble demeanor, which is impressive.

Later, with the launch of urban life dramas such as "Ode to Joy" and "Little Shede", Jiang Xin was complained about by many people because of her large skeleton and strong figure, and in the urban drama full of "white bone essence" (white collar + backbone + elite), Jiang Xin's figure will give people a sense of happiness. Some people say that Jiang Xin is not suitable for playing the main role, because the main role she plays is not brilliant in supporting roles, and so on.
Jiang Xin in "Little Shedd" was spat at as "tiger back bear waist"
But this time, Jiang Xin in "Meritorious Service" surprised people again.
It is said that when the director filmed "Shen Jilan's Proposal", he first thought of Jiang Xin: because Shen Jilan himself was tall and at the same time working sharply, it gave people a sense of strength and strength - and Jiang Xin's large skeleton and strong body that had been used as a slot point before were completely in line with the characters here, which became her advantage and highlight.
At the same time, Jiang Xin's face is also fleshy, and the smile feels very bright and bright, in the words of the director: "We want to love to laugh at the girl, that laugh can infect everyone, that laugh can dispel all suffering." ”
In order to play the role of Shen Jilan, Jiang Xin specially tanned herself 5 degrees before filming, and also learned to spin flowers and Shanxi dialect... As soon as this character appears, it gives people the feeling of being real, fresh and particularly grounded.
And Jiang Xin used her interpretation to make people believe in this role, and let people see the strong, capable, and cheerful Shen Jilan at that time.
As analyzed in an article, in the drama "Meritorious Service", Jiang Xin's strength has finally changed from a slot point to a bright spot!

Combined with the career counseling cases I handled, Jiang Xin has achieved such a sensation and success in "Meritorious Service", and her efforts are naturally inseparable, but the core secret here is that Jiang Xin's characteristics have become advantages in this drama.
In other words, she found a script and role that suited her characteristics, which was a key factor behind her success that could not be ignored.
For many people in the workplace, jiang Xin's "Meritorious Service" gives us the biggest enlightenment: many times, when your career encounters bottlenecks or even crises, don't rush to change yourself, it may be just because your characteristics and current occupation do not match, at this time, you may wish to systematically sort out and analyze, perhaps you can find a new way out; and this more suitable for you, in order to let you smoothly live the life you want.
When the visitor Ah Ping (pseudonym) came to consult, she was in great pain and confusion.
According to the data, Ah Ping graduated from a university 6 years ago, majoring in business English, with a bachelor's degree.
After graduation, Ah Ping got two offers: one was to teach English at a private school, and the other was to go to a well-known foreign company to do sales back-office.
At that time, Ah Ping and her family consulted, and the family agreed that private schools and well-known foreign companies are undoubtedly better than the two platforms, the reason is: private school management is not standardized, teacher treatment and pay are often not proportional; and well-known foreign enterprise management norms, Ah Ping can use their foreign language advantages, starting from the sales of internal logistics, there will be more room for development in the future.
"Teacher Xiaoli, I really don't want to hide, I had some luck in entering this foreign company at that time, usually the recruitment threshold of this foreign company is very strict, and somehow that year, I actually received their offer, which surprised me." Ah Ping said.
So Ah Ping went to a foreign company to do sales in-house work, but the reality was not as ideal as she imagined.
03
According to Ah Ping, she feels very difficult in this position, mainly in the following three points.
1. Sales in-house needs to reconcile accounts with customers, but Ah Ping is extremely insensitive to data;
Ah Ping said that the reason why she filled in the business English major when she filled in the college entrance examination was largely because these subjects were her weaknesses in mathematics, physics and chemistry.
Just say that the reconciliation of this work content, enough to make Ah Ping exhausted: Ah Ping is very insensitive to data, often because of checking some data often overtime to very late, once, the department just agreed to have a dinner after work, Ah Ping said that there is data on hand to check, the result of another colleague looked at a few minutes, quickly found the problem.
This made Ah Ping very shocked, and the leader said not lightly: "In the future, we must improve our work efficiency more, and do not blindly waste time." ”
Ah Ping wanted to defend herself, but she didn't know where to start, so she had to swallow back the words.
2, sales in-house also need to assist in the collection work, but Ah Ping is always suffering from her own lack of strength;
As a sales back-office worker, Ah Ping also has a job content, that is, to assist the sales clerk with the collection.
But what made Ah Ping quite distressed was that she found that she was not tough enough when she collected money, and often said that she was led by the nose by the other party.
Once, there was a customer who was in arrears for several months, Ah Ping called over, did not expect that the other salesman poured a stomach full of bitter water... This made Ah Ping very embarrassed, her ears were soft, and she was embarrassed to open her mouth to collect money when she heard about the other party's various difficulties.
For this matter, Ah Ping did not know how many times she had been criticized by the leader: "Debt repayment is natural, how can you collect money in the end to make us lose money?!" ”
3, sales in-house need to copy the single to promote the order, but Ah Ping is always "kind to help".
As a sales back-office worker, Ah Ping also needs to help the salesman to copy the order, and when necessary, she needs to facilitate the signing of the order.
Once, the salesman Xiao Li had an interested customer on hand, and he did not have the intention of placing an order for several months, and Xiao Li still had several customers on hand that needed to follow up, so he asked Ah Ping to assist in following up this order.
After Ah Ping and the customer contact, the customer began to complain about the high price of Ah Ping's company's products, when Ah Ping talked about the advantages of the product, the other customer said that a certain function is not as good as who's ... Then the customer and Ah Ping said that their company does not need too many functional products, only need to meet the basic functions, the key price concessions on the line.
Listening to the customer say this, Ah Ping felt that it was also reasonable, so she sent the information of several companies she knew to the other party... As a result, it is conceivable that the customer placed an order from another home and told Xiao Li about it.
After this matter was known by Xiao Li and the leaders, he even told Ah Ping, Ah Ping felt that she was very wronged, she was clearly kind to the customer, why did the customer end up suing himself?!
All these things made Ah Ping feel deeply exhausted.
The leader talked to Ah Ping and asked Ah Ping to consider her career plan; it turned out that the company leaders intended to transfer Ah Ping and give Ah Ping the right to choose her own position.

I told Ah Ping that everyone's strengths and weaknesses are often the same thing, and this kind of thing is called "traits" - traits are called advantages in the right places, and disadvantages when used in the wrong places.
Ah Ping is insensitive to data, indecisive, and easily influenced by others...
Behind these characteristics is that Ah Ping is more inclined to deal with people than transactional work; but in dealing with people, Ah Ping is amicable motivation- dominant, likes a harmonious situation, is not very good at persuading and influencing others, but is good at empathy and understanding each other... But in the sales back-office job, this empathy and understanding can bring unnecessary trouble to the company.
After analysis, Ah Ping is a typical "idealist": her heart is kind and sensitive, she has her own standards and feelings for doing things, she is somewhat "incompatible" with reality, does not like competition, has a strong and keen empathy ability, and so on.
You know, the formation of a person's characteristics is the result of years of accumulation, rather than letting the traits become disadvantages in the unsuitable position or soil, it is better to change to a suitable post or soil, perhaps it can become an advantage, so that the work situation to a big change.
For example, some people's personalities have the characteristics of "nitpicking", they are very sensitive to details, and they can't tolerate a grain of sand in their eyes: people with this trait are definitely not suitable for public relations work, which will make people feel boring and stiff; but if they are placed in positions like quality inspection and auditing, the characteristics of these people can be well displayed and played, but they can make good results.
After consulting and analysis, Ah Ping made her own decision: she chose a position like customer service that requires compassion and understanding of others and can exert her empathy ability.
Not long ago, Ah Ping and we reported that they have done much smoother in today's department, and they have also been rated as excellent employees in the department.
As the old saying goes, "Man is self-aware."
Only by knowing yourself, understanding yourself, having a clear understanding of yourself, and finding the right field to continuously improve and iterate, can you go steady and far.
