For many viewers, Xin Zhilei is probably the kind of person who is hard to mess with at first sight, and she is indeed almost the same in reality.

Xin Zhilei never shy away from talking about her desire for money and fame. She always wants it and often gets it...

01

The most lively event in the entertainment industry recently is that Xin Zhilei won the Best Actress Award at the Venice International Film Festival.

Many people may not know much about this award, but the history of the Venice Film Festival is a long history.

For domestic films, the Venice Film Festival awards are second only to the Oscars.

Looking at the history of film, Xin Zhilei is the third person to win this award after Gong Li and Dexian Ip, and is also the only mainland actress among the three.

No wonder, some netizens called Xin Zhilei "Ascendant" the first time she won the award.

I can only say that Xin Zhilei is indeed well deserved.

According to Cai Shangjun, director of Xin Zhilei's award-winning movie "The Sun" in the Sky", the movie itself is a movie centered on a female perspective.

So there are extremely high requirements for the actress' acting skills, empathy and expression.

The crew once fell into a bottleneck because they could not find an actress who was highly consistent with the character's temperament. Until screenwriter Han Nianjin recommended Xin Zhilei to the crew.

In Han Nianjin's view, Xin Zhilei's unique temperament and delicate perception of the role are very consistent with the image of the heroine in the film.

When director Cai Shangjun met Xin Zhilei herself, she also believed that she had a unique charm.

After that, Xin Zhilei did not disappoint the expectations of the screenwriter and director. She was completely immersed in it while filming the movie and contributed her best performance ever.

So, the best actress Xin Zhilei, was born today.

When receiving the award, Xin Zhilei said that she had been cynical about becoming an international superstar because of her delusion.

Now she encourages all girls to dream boldly, if one day they will realize their dreams like her.

Xin Zhilei thanked all the staff in front and behind the scenes, but what she should be most grateful to is the self who always talks about "wanting to be famous".

Because she is not just thinking, but doing it bravely.

Time goes back to 1986, when Xin Zhilei was born in a remote village in Hegang City.

Her parents have given birth to three children in total, and Xin Zhilei is the eldest in the family.

From Xin Zhilei's memory, life at her family has been very difficult.

Due to industrial reform, a large number of laid-offs have occurred in the Northeast.

Xin Zhilei's parents left their hometowns to work outside for many years in order to support their family, so Xin Zhilei's childhood was spent at her grandparents' house.

Although these two old men were not rich, they brought Xin Zhilei enough love and care.

No matter what Xin Zhilei wants to do, they will support them as much as possible.

Xin Zhilei developed a character of daring to speak and do under their influence.

When Xin Zhilei returned home and lived with her parents and younger siblings.

The house at home was not spacious at that time, and a large shop had to squeeze out a family of five.

Later, in order to help the family reduce the burden, Xin Zhilei started to work and study half-time when she was very young.

When I was in junior high school, Xin Zhilei even ran to the restaurant to serve plates during the holidays.

Because she has been picking up clothes that others don’t want since she was a child, Xin Zhilei’s dream since she became sensible is to become a fashion designer so that she can have endless new clothes to wear.

With such a simple idea, Xin Zhilei was admitted to the School of Fashion Design and became a designer reserve.

It’s a pity that life will never develop like a cool article.

The multiple-choice question, which one is unexpected or tomorrow, is Xin Zhilei unfortunately encountered the former.

In my junior year, Xin Zhilei, who was in school, suddenly received a call from her sister asking her to go home as soon as possible.

Xin Zhilei was shocked when she heard this, and she only realized it when she got home.

It turns out that her father was suffering from a terminal illness and was paralyzed in bed forever.

Xin Zhilei instantly felt that the sky was falling. She could have a stable job as long as she studied for another year, but fate ruthlessly broke her fantasy.

Looking at the pitiful and helpless family around me, Xin Zhilei was determined to work with her mother to support the sky for her younger brothers and sisters.

In the future, in order to help my family overcome difficulties, Xin Zhilei had to find a few more jobs.

However, for his father's sky-high treatment fees, Xin Zhilei's money earned by working is just a drop in the bucket.

It was not until by chance that Xin Zhilei met Donnie Yen's agent that she completely changed her destiny.

At that time, Xin Zhilei worked part-time as a etiquette lady on the TV station. Her unique appearance and temperament in the crowd attracted the attention of this agent.

Immediately afterwards, he invited Xin Zhilei to shoot an advertisement.

The reward for shooting advertisements is very generous, and Xin Zhilei, who urgently needs money, naturally could not refuse.

So in this way, Xin Zhilei gave up her dream that was within reach and stumbling into the entertainment industry.

Xin Zhilei did not walk smoothly after entering the circle.

The first advertisement she received was working with Tony Leung, the most famous actor in the circle.

At that time, Xin Zhilei fantasized unrealistically that she might become famous after filming this advertisement.

Unfortunately reality quickly hit her hard.

After the broadcast of this advertisement, Xin Zhilei did not make any splashes. She is still a little character with no name in the entertainment industry.

Even if he signed a contract with an economic company, Xin Zhilei still had no scenes to shoot.

In the future, in order to become a qualified actor, Xin Zhilei signed up for the Central Academy of Drama to better polish her acting skills.

Unfortunately, she became a monk halfway through, even if she tried her best, she could not get a good role. She could only play soybeans in various videos.

During that period, Xin Zhilei's situation was difficult.

As a marginal figure in the circle, she sometimes even earns less than 2,000 yuan in living expenses a month.

Just when Xin Zhilei was worried about this every day, her grandfather, who had raised her since childhood, was diagnosed with cancer in the hospital.

This is probably just a rainy night.

At that time, my grandfather went to Beijing for a doctor, and Xin Zhilei couldn't even take out enough money to take her grandfather to have a good meal.

Grandpa saw her embarrassment. Not only did he move out of the expensive house decided by Xin Zhilei, but he also silently put all the meat into Xin Zhilei's bowl while eating.

Later, whenever Xin Zhilei thinks of this, she will cry in sadness.

What made Xin Zhilei most worried was her father's unfulfilled wish.

Her father was at home for many years due to physical reasons, so he really wanted to have a computer to comfort him.

But Xin Zhilei has never had enough money to help her father buy a computer.

In 2015, Xin Zhilei's grandfather and father died one after another.

From then on, the computer that my father didn't get and the meal that my grandfather didn't get became an unforgettable pain in Xin Zhilei's heart.

Perhaps, this is why she can calmly tell her desire for money and ambitious for Hong.

After all, if she had succeeded earlier, then all these regrets would have had the opportunity to make up for them.
