In fact, the theme of Xian Xia became popular more than 20 years ago, and the ancient Xian Xia drama The Journey to the West was one of them. I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to call it "the originator of Xian Xia drama".
Nostalgia prevailed before, and some netizens turned out this dusty classic for many years. One of the clips is that He Xiangu and Lv Dongbin gave three high-fives at the extreme of heaven and earth.
This story, as one of the highlights of the whole drama, makes the audience enter the fascinating plot again, and the beauty of He Xiangu's flourishing age makes netizens return to the dilemma of "Bai Mudan or He Xiangu".
At that time, the success of the play depended not only on the theme and plot, but also on the handsome and beautiful actors, especially the two actresses who played Bai Mudan and He Xiangu. A dignified and elegant, a beautiful and refined, each with its own customs.
At that time, TV dramas were popular with two heroines, two actors were evenly matched, and the opponents of the hero were evenly matched. Once broadcast, the question of "who is more beautiful" has become the number one issue debated by drama fans.
It is said that true beauty can stand the test of the times. There is some truth in this statement. Now, after more than 20 years, it is still amazing to look back at He Xiangu in the play. At that time, there were no Korean flat eyebrows and no beauty filters, and the special effects could not stand looking back. However, Zheng Xiuzhen's beautiful and vulgar eyebrows have become the most eye-catching existence under the slightly dilapidated rockery scenery.
In ancient Chinese, the beauty of women is described as "long eyebrows with fine eyes, slight tenderness, giving people a soul and making people relaxed and happy", and this impression has always been preserved in my heart. Look at He Xiangu in Zheng Xiuzhen, just like the lady coming out in the book.
As the saying goes, "The most important thing is that you can't stay on earth. Zhu Yan's rhetoric is gorgeous." The Journey to the West is a classic drama series at the end of last century. After more than 20 years, Mark, who was handsome in those days, is now running around to make money, while Zheng Xiuzhen, who surprised everyone in those years, has long since faded out of the screen.
In fact, before Zheng Xiuzhen officially faded out of the entertainment circle, she also experienced several little-known pains, and her career path was not as perfect as her appearance.
First, I used to be my own daughter.
Zheng Xiuzhen was born in Singapore. Many Singaporeans have their ancestral home in China, and Zheng Xiuzhen's ancestral home is in Chaozhou, Guangdong. The little girl's eyebrows have a unique classical charm of the ancient oriental countries since she was a child. As she grew up, this beauty became more and more popular.
1995, Zheng Xiuzhen, 20 years old, was faced with a choice in life, whether to follow the crowd and find an ordinary job and lead a mediocre life, or to work hard in the entertainment circle. On second thought, she was young and turned her attention to the soil that looked like Starlight Glimmer. She decided to take a gamble.
At that time, there was a long-standing program in Singapore called "Talented Young Talents", which was held at 1988, aiming to tap new people with strength and potential and select outstanding artists with performance talents. 1995 has little influence in Asia, but it has also successfully tapped some outstanding artists.
When Zheng Xiuzhen signed up for the election, another girl also signed up. Her name is Guo Feili, and she later played the actress of Bai Mudan in The Journey to the West.
At that time, they didn't know that there would be some cooperation opportunities in the future, but they just met by chance. They are lucky enough. Zheng Xiuzhen won the women's team championship in one fell swoop and became the fourth "talented rookie" women's team champion, while Guo Feili ranked third and became the third runner-up.
20-year-old Zheng Xiuzhen, with fine eyes and nose, is as clean and crisp as a piece of jade fished out of the water, and this rough jade has vaguely begun to shine.
Second, Numa in Fresh Clothes is a teenager.
After winning the championship, Zheng Xiuzhen's star road can not be described as smooth sailing, but it can also be described as continuous filming. In the year of winning the championship, Zheng Xiuzhen starred in the fantasy TV series "The Third Theater" and played a beautiful girl next door, which received a good response. In the same year, he starred in the TV series Tofu Street with senior artist Xu Meizhen and others.
From 1995 to 1997, Zheng Xiuzhen appeared in as many as nine famous TV dramas with surnames, including some roles of playing soy sauce. Although not every role carries weight, at that time, it seemed that Zheng Xiuzhen had gone quite smoothly on the road of performing arts.
From 65438 to 0998, Zheng Xiuzhen ushered in an important film and television drama in her life-Journey to the West, in which she played He Xiangu, the only fairy among the Eight Immortals.
In ancient China mythology, He Xiangu appeared as a fairy in the lotus, which always gave people a noble and outstanding impression, and so did He Xiangu. Zheng Xiuzhen's image perfectly meets the needs of the role, and his whole temperament is outstanding, which adds a lot of color to the role. Her appearance that year became one of the highlights of Journey to the East.
In the play, although He Xiangu secretly loves Lv Dongbin, he has never done anything to destroy Lv Dongbin and Bai Mudan, nor has he done anything dirty. On the contrary, he high-fived Lv Dongbin at the extreme of heaven and earth, gave up his feelings for justice, and sublimated the love between men and women into the meaning of bosom friends.
"Treat men and women with sincerity" is neither artificial nor artificial. With the majestic theme song, it is easy to point out the pleasant and chic theme, and it is also a classic with a bit of heroism in its development.
Although the theme of Xianxia drama is Xianxia, most of it still stays in the mode of costume idol drama, entangled in a little love between men and women. The Journey to the West's handling is chivalrous and the pattern is superior. Perhaps this is why it is still a classic for many years.
Anyway, Zheng Xiuzhen's performance was very successful, and the role of He Xiangu made her famous and became a hot star in Singapore.
At that time, she was only 23 years old, and it was time for her clothes to get angry.
Third, the wrong mentality is paid at the peak.
Eastward Journey is not the peak of Zheng Xiuzhen. After this drama, her popularity increased greatly, and she appeared in two TV series in succession. In 2000, she cooperated with Ma Jingtao again in the legendary swordsman, and Fan Wenfang, who had just become popular at that time, in which Zheng Xiuzhen played Dong Fangbubai.
There are many artists who play Dong Fangbubai, and not every version can be deeply rooted in people's hearts. For example, the positive version of Dong Fangbubai (played by Chen Qiaoen) has attracted a lot of controversy, and Dong Fangbubai happens to be a very important role for the legendary swordsman. His contradictions and highlights coexist, and Zheng Xiuzhen's interpretation is remembered in many versions.
First of all, be brave. Dong Fangbubai is essentially a man, with the opposite sex dress of an actress. The purpose is to add some natural charm to her toughness, but the charm is not the most prominent, and a little heroism is needed. Zheng Xiuzhen did it.
She is light and refined, and when she disguised as a man, her temperament immediately became elegant. Coupled with her convincing beauty at the peak of her popularity at that time, this Dong Fangbubai became a sought-after role for fans.
In the same year, she was nominated for the best actress in the Red Star Award for her role. This is the highest-level TV drama awards party in Singapore, which shows that the audience likes her.
As the saying goes, fortunes depend on each other, and this sentence is vividly reflected in Zheng Xiuzhen.
Zheng Xiuzhen, whose front foot has just been nominated, seems to be on the rise. In May of the same year, the news of bankruptcy was exposed.
What happened?
It turned out that at that time, Zheng Xiuzhen set foot in the stock market under the introduction of friends, and gave his property to his friends to take care of. However, this friend not only completely lost Zheng Xiuzhen's property, but also owed a large sum of money to the securities company, nearly 300,000 yuan. What's more, Cao Guohui, the boyfriend Zheng Xiuzhen was talking about at that time, cheated her of S $80 million and converted it into nearly RMB 400 million, representing love rat.
After all this, Zheng Xiuzhen declared bankruptcy directly and was listed as a poor citizen by the Singaporean government.
Being listed as a poor citizen in Singapore is not only a bad reputation, but also a restriction on the scope of high consumption and social activities, such as not going abroad to visit relatives, not flying, not enjoying luxury services, not being a company director in business, like living in a huge cage. When Zheng Xiuzhen went through all this, he was only 25 years old and had just achieved great success in his career.
It is said that prosperity will decline. In Zheng Xiuzhen, this sentence is true.
Fourth, cheer up after the ups and downs.
Twenty-five is the golden age of life, and youth is just right. At this time, Zheng Xiuzhen experienced great changes in his life, and at the same time, some problems appeared in his body. Since her debut, she has basically kept one or two plays a year. This kind of workload is now a desperate three niang. Zheng Xiuzhen's health has been damaged by overwork, but she can't stop working. In order to get rid of poverty, she can only try her best to pick up film and television dramas.
Since then, Zheng Xiuzhen's series is not a classic. Almost no matter what drama it is, Zheng Xiuzhen will shoot it as long as it is discovered. In order to pay her debts, she has no time to take care of the script.
The quality of the drama produced in this way can be imagined.
It is said that Zheng Xiuzhen is a short-lived star. In fact, from 2000 to 20 15, she has been making TV dramas, but most of those dramas are outside the circle, and none of them can be compared with "Journey to the legendary swordsman", so Zheng Xiuzhen gradually faded out of people's sight.
At this point, Zheng Xiuzhen's mind is really no longer in the film and television circle, and she has experienced ups and downs. She played down the ups and downs in the circle prematurely and turned her attention to the business world, and she began to brew a transformation.
During this period, Zheng Xiuzhen also ushered in another love of her own. In 20 10, she married a man named Huang Chuanxin and soon gave birth to a son. After several years of peaceful and stable marriage.
At that time, Zheng Xiuzhen was 35 years old. People who have experienced storms and can withstand them have a special temperament, which seems to be travel-stained, but there is another kind of stability in the world. Zheng Xiuzhen at that time gave people such a feeling.
However, this seemingly warm marriage life only lasted for 8 years. In 20 18, the news that Zheng Xiuzhen announced his divorce on social platforms reached China, and fans were surprised for a moment.
Zheng Xiuzhen himself said indifferently that marriage is a personal matter, and divorce is also a personal choice. Nothing can explain his decision.
These words are very similar to He Xiangu's performance in those years, and they are free and easy with lofty sentiments. As a woman, she has the spirit of a husband. She has never complained about the outcome of her marriage, and there is nothing superfluous to say. Since then, her life dynamics still show her beautiful and generous side. This kind of Zheng Xiuzhen seems strange, but recalling her role, she feels that all her performances are reasonable.
Conclusion Zheng Xiuzhen is 45 years old. After years of tempering, she has become more and more like a moist jade.
As far as film and television career is concerned, she has never been popular, which seems to be the fall of a star. However, judging from her own life experience, whether it is the peak or the trough, she still lives beautifully. Perhaps this is the most precious thing in Zheng Xiuzhen.
