The longest face of domestic entertainment in recent days is that Xin Zhilei won the award.

On September 6, at the 82nd Venice Film Festival, Xin Zhilei won the Best Actress Award for "The Sun in the Sky", becoming the third Chinese Venetian Best Actress Award after Gong Li and Deanie Ip.

Not only that, she is also the only Venetian actress of mainland cadastral and post-80s Chinese.

Walking out of Hegang City and standing on the international podium, she said, "After a dozen years ago, I brag about a great man when I first entered the industry, I said, "I want to become an international superstar. I was laughed at that time. But look, I am standing here today."

At that moment, the international superstar laughed, but the person who understood the taste was red.

Time goes forward, and in the cover topic of Vogue's 20th anniversary actress group portrait, Xin Zhilei is still the one standing next to her.

Even so, in the questionnaire, she did not hide her ambitions of fire when asked about what she wanted to challenge in the future: Vogue single seal.

Talking about the life experience she wants to share most, she gave nine words: "Don't be anxious, not afraid, shameless."

A wish that seemed out of reach, a woman who claimed to be "shameless", was released only one day after the cover of the 20th anniversary actress group portrait of Vogue, Xin Zhilei won the Golden Lion Trophy, and wanted Vogue's single seal to be realized quickly.

At present, the cover invitations sent by the five major magazines to her have been scheduled to next year, breaking the fastest slam record in domestic entertainment.

Chanel official IG sent 5 Xin Zhilei's quick shots in one night to congratulate her for winning the award, setting a record for the brand's single-day push artists, and was regarded by netizens as a signal of "blood-washing 85 flowers in the top luxury pattern".

Xin Zhilei, who claims to be "shameless", earned the most successful face with the actress queen.

And her ascension has just begun.

Ambition

Xin Zhilei entered the entertainment industry not for her dream, but for only 3,000 yuan.

In April 1986, a baby girl was born in the cold spring when the ice and snow in Hegang, Northeast China was not gone.

The cold and desolate plot together, coal and steel intertwined, and people growing on this land danced in the whistling of industry and nature, and tenacity flowed in their bone marrow.

Mother named her Xinrui, hoping that her daughter would be as beautiful as a flower wise. When I got to settle down, my mother suddenly forgot how to write the word "rui", so she changed it to "Xin Lei" with similar meanings.

Xin Lei, homophonic to "heart tired", a life full of difficulties began in the dark.

My parents are busy with work and have no time to take care of their children. Xin Zhilei has lived with her grandmother and grandpa since she was a child, and is willing to be unrestrained.

She loves to wander around, climb trees to catch insects, and her personality exudes the tiger spirit of a Northeast child.

When I was a little older, the poverty of the family began to become manifested in the girl: her father got up early and worked late, and her mother worked three jobs a day. When she was young, she had to study while taking care of her younger brothers and sisters.

Xin Zhilei was sensible since she was a child. She found a fast food restaurant helper. Every day after school, she soaked herself in a sticky and noisy restaurant to earn money to subsidize her family income.

Because of poverty, a girl cannot wear a few new clothes a year, and can only hide her yearning for beauty in her heart. In front of her family, she always shows her vivid and outspoken side.

Maybe to make up for the regrets of her childhood, she chose the fashion design major in college.

The teacher saw that she was beautiful and reliable, so she recommended her to work and study on the TV station and serve as the etiquette lady who gave props on the show. A glamorous world opened her mouth to her, and she was fascinated by her.

On the bus driving from school to TV station, Xin Zhilei often stared at the reflection of the flow of the car window, fantasizing that she would become an actor one day, standing proudly in the spotlight, and living with her head held high.

Bus, however, always have to be at the stop. The girl walked down quickly, running around for food and clothing.

But life does not intend to let her go easily.

The father suddenly fell down.

Due to accident, my father was paralyzed in bed, and my mother was taking care of him day and night, and could not go out to work. Young younger brothers and sisters still have to go to school.

Xin Zhilei, the eldest sister who is still in her junior year, was caught off guard.

Donnie Yen's agent was the first to lend a helping hand.

At that time, the other party was digging for artists everywhere. He saw Xin Zhilei at a glance on the TV station and immediately asked her if she was interested.

Xin Zhilei immediately nodded in agreement.

It was 2005, and the domestic performing arts market was booming. Many people wanted to become celebrities and experience the highly anticipated life.

But what impressed Xin Zhilei was not dreaming or interest, but 3,000 yuan.

When hearing the agent tell her, "Your monthly salary is 3,000 yuan", Xin Zhilei's round and raised almond eyes shine, she made a quick decision: give up her studies and pursue her dreams in the entertainment industry!

This decision seemed significant, but it was not difficult for Xin Zhilei at that time, and she did not even consider the future. At present, even if there is only a little hope of making money to support the family and treating her father, it is enough to make her give everything to fight for it.

She is so eager for opportunities that when the opportunity appears, she will hold on tightly and never let go again.

The company spent 3,000 yuan and asked someone to calculate the name "Xin Lei" for her. The master sighed, "I am too tired, so don't be tired."

Just as Zhou Zhiruo's name in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was "Stop Fragility", the company changed her name to Xin Zhilei, which means "Stop Tightening".

With the fantasy of changing one's fate, Xin Zhilei signed a contract to enter the entertainment industry.

want to be popular

After the first advertisement in the circle, Xin Zhilei opened high and closed low.

For seven years since then, Xin Zhilei has basically no such person in the entertainment industry.

Although she has three-dimensional bones and thick lips, her "stinky face" does not meet the standards of "gentle" for actresses. She is not from a professional background and has no experience, so she can only start with being a supporting role.

Xin Zhilei and Tony Leung made advertisements

When she truly made her mark, it was 2011. She welcomed her first highlight character "Blind Girl Susu" in the TV series "Painted Skin", with a young and thoughtful heart, but not much splash.

Instead, outside the role, Xin Zhilei caused some controversy due to her uncovered ambitions.

At the age of not matching fame and strength, she publicly said on Weibo: "Yes, I am full of desire for life. Love, career, money and friends... There is nothing to hide, come on!"

For those characters she identified, she made bold statements and tried her best to achieve them one by one.

At first, she didn't have much choice for the role because she was not popular. But Xin Zhilei will take the initiative.

Once upon a time, after reading the script, Xin Zhilei took the initiative to find the director to audition the film "The Moon Embraces the Stars".

The first time, the director did not select her and asked her to go back.

She was unwilling to give up, and didn't care about face. She found the crew again and stubbornly fought for the opportunity for the second group trial.

At that time, a group of actresses gathered in a room, only Xin Zhilei was like "crazy", and in front of everyone, she kept repeating excitedly to the director: "I want to play this role, I must play it!"

The people around him cast strange eyes, and Xin Zhilei could not ignore it, but she did not care and continued to express her true thoughts. In the director's opinion, it had a trait close to the character itself.

After almost "crazy", she was selected.

The 2016 movie "Yangtze River Map" was the first movie to become the leading female lead in 11 years since she entered the industry, and it was also the result of her hard work.

In order to get this role, she lie at the beginning.

《Yangtze River Map》

The director asked her if she could swim and she said, "Yes."

Xin Zhilei's mouth was playing with water in the swimming pool. The director asked her to jump directly into the rolling Yangtze River.

After getting the role, Xin Zhilei ignored her and risked her life, stepped on glass and gravel, and walked into the river with blood all over her feet.

Even Qin Hao sighed that this was the most difficult shooting experience in his life.

But Xin Zhilei said, thanks to my wildness when I was a child, it was okay.

Xin Zhilei, who shouted "I'll shoot when I die!", left ambition to pierce the sky on the lonely sea level.

《Yangtze River Map》

I was injured while filming "Rich Qing Xiangxi". She lame her legs and gauze wrapped around her, and went to see director Lin Chaoxian, and finally won the role of "Fang Yuling", the only female member of the rescue team in "Emergency Rescue".

After hearing that Wong Kar-wai was going to film "Fanhua", Xin Zhilei quickly finished reading the original work, flew to Hong Kong, and chatted with Wong Kar-wai for half an hour.

Xin Zhilei who went to Hong Kong alone, just like Li Li who came to Huanghe Road in Shanghai alone in "Flower Flowers".

Flower Flowers

In front of Wong Kar-wai, Xin Zhilei almost "cut open" herself and spread it in the sun.

From growth, personality to acting experience, advantages and disadvantages, she conveys her words like a continuous gun, and her dense words shot towards the more silent director like a machine gun.

Half an hour later, Xin Zhilei stood up, "shakes his hand very formally" and turned around and said goodbye without any nostalgia.

In the play, Li Li is like this: he turns around, has a cold eyes, and does things ruthlessly.

Wang Kar-wai, who has always disagreed with the common sense, recognized Xin Zhilei, who also did not play according to the common sense. At the same time, he was also attracted by her chivalrous spirit in "Embroidered Chun Dao 2".

More than half a year later, Wong Kar-wai told her: Come to Shanghai to try makeup.

"Embroidered Spring Knife 2"

Through repeated attacks, Xin Zhilei won the role he wanted several times.

But to turn these characters into representative works, it is not just a saying of "ambition", there is still a long way to go.

In order to understand Li Li's walking state, Xin Zhilei spent two years learning Latin, Tango and other dances, just for a glimpse.

We all saw it. On the day of Zhizhen Garden's opening, the boss's wife Li Li was amazed the audience as soon as she appeared.

In front of the surrounding camera, Li Li swayed with grace and extraordinary charm,

She has a variety of charm and blooms on the surging beach of the wind and clouds.

And those dazzling desires must also have the ambition of winning, loving, and calling the wind and rain.

Perhaps, this is also a desire that everyone has when facing life.

Xin Zhilei understands such desires best.

Back during the filming of "Yangtze River Map", her father, who had been paralyzed for 5 years, died even though she failed to see her father for the last time.

Soon, her grandfather, who was pulled by one hand, was diagnosed with liver cancer, and then passed away.

At that time, she didn't know that she would become popular because of this drama, walk on the red carpet of the Berlin Film Festival and meet her idol Aunt Mei.

She only knows: she has two regrets and can never make up for it in this life.

Once upon a time, my father lying in bed asked her to ask her to have a computer that she could chat with her uncles QQ, but Xin Zhilei couldn't afford it;

Later, my grandfather fell ill and went to Beijing for treatment. Xin Zhilei, who had no money, only dared to order half of the roast duck, and neither of them was willing to use his chopsticks.

At this time, she had entered the entertainment industry for nearly 10 years, and was still too tight to do anything.

"I want to be popular, I want to be rich" "I don't want to blame myself for a meal or a computer"... What Xin Zhilei wants may be more than money, but responsibility, love, value, role...

But past experiences told her that if she had no popularity and no money, what's the use of "being shameless" alone?

Xin Zhilei, can't afford it.

Fear

Now, Xin Zhilei finally became popular.

After returning to the Golden Lion Trophy at the Venice International Film Festival, Xin Zhilei's latest work arrangements are not only achieved with the realization of "Vogue single cover", but also the cover invitations of the five major magazines have been scheduled until next year, breaking the fastest slam record of domestic entertainment.

Chanel's official IG sent 5 quick shots in a night, deeply binding Xin Zhilei's award-winning and brand red carpet style, which was regarded by netizens as a signal of the 85-flower pattern reshuffle.

Her unconcealed remarks about "wanting to be popular" were once again revealed, and this time, the joke became the truth.

Among domestic actresses, Xin Zhilei may be the one who publicly expressed the most ambitions.

She has mentioned the beginning of her ambition many times: "It seems that no one has given me things since she was a child, so I have to take the initiative to fight for whatever I want."

In the most popular variety show in the early days, she lost the show against Shu Chang, and said directly in the back: "I have never presumed that I will lose, I don't think she is particularly good."

It was a close-kick competition, and the other party was not particularly good, because Xin Zhilei knew that she was not bad either.

Because of this "Sorry Quotes", she was also called "writing ambitions and desires on her face".

In an interview with "Harabazaar", she said, "I want to be popular because I have more choices. I want more and better characters, so I want to be popular."

Xin Zhilei never shamed to reveal her desire: "I think desire is not a derogatory term, it can also be written as an ideal."

Behind this sentence, there is a tight-kill girl working in a restaurant in Hegang, the real journey along the way.

Perhaps "shameless" is a misunderstanding, a stigmatization of a woman's active struggle and legitimate efforts.

How come you are shameless when you try your best to get what you want?

Xin Zhilei used her teeth and claws to break the shackles of harsh criticism of women: women can pick them up with ease, or they can win with great fanfare, and women can win everything they want in various reasonable ways.

Similarly, when a woman reaches the world-class podium and holds the microphone in her hand, she can't just speak for herself, but wants to speak for more women.

To this day, Xin Zhilei still remembers the day she flew to Hong Kong to meet Wong Kar-wai.

She walked into Zetung Pictures and saw the walls of movie posters such as "Flowers" and "2046" and made a secret decision: I hope that one day, she will also appear in Wong Kar-wai's posters, "That will be a work that will be able to show off in the rest of her life."

At that time, Xin Zhilei did not realize that the most glorious work in her life was not a play or a prize, but herself. She was a woman who regarded her desire to win as her motivation when she wanted to, and tried her best.

Xin Zhilei's face was not something he wanted, it was something he won.
