Zhu's early experience

1959, Zhu was still in the third year of college. One afternoon, Xie Jin, a famous director in China, made a special trip to Shanghai Theatre Academy to "dig" actors from students. She met Zhu by chance in a drama rehearsal. She is competing with several male students for a role, and she is not inferior to the boys. Director Xie Jin made a decision on the spot, with Qionghua Wu as the heroine.

Zhu was so excited that he didn't sleep a wink all night when he learned that he would star in "The Red Company Commander and Female Soldier" directed by Xie Jin himself. Zhu did his homework for the filming. Together with other actors, she went to Hainan Island, the base of the red female soldier, and found the former female soldier company commander Feng Zengmin, asking the elderly to recall the only female armed "red female soldier" established by 1930. The two "company commanders" eat, live and study together. Zhu gets up at six o'clock every morning, participates in military training, shooting, marching and camping ... until the sun goes down, the gong doesn't stop. In the evening, I stayed up all night reading books, reading historical materials, digesting scripts and pondering Qionghua Wu's personality characteristics. After more than a month of field experience, her cheeks peeled off and her skin became darker. At this point, her heart for "Qionghua Wu" finally has a bottom.

1960 graduated from the performance department of Shanghai Theatre Academy. Later, he served as an actor of Shanghai Theatre Academy Experimental Theatre Company and Shanghai Youth Theatre Company. Performed Shakespeare's Much ado about nothing, Moliere's Miser, The Great Wall of the South China Sea, Liu Hulan, etc.

Since her successful starring role in Red women soldiers, Zhu's films have kept coming, and her performance charm has captivated hundreds of millions of mainland audiences. Besides Silverscreen, Zhu also shines brilliantly on the stage of drama. After graduating from Shanghai Theatre Academy, she joined the Shanghai Youth Theatre Company as an actress. Patrice in Shakespeare's Much ado about nothing, Marianne in Moliere's Miser, Liu Hulan in Liu Hulan, etc. These plays starring Zhu are often hard to get a ticket.

1989 In September, the Television Art Center of Shenzhen TV Station was born, with Zhu as the director of the center. 1In August, 996, Zhu began to March into the United States. She led the film crew of Shenzhen Television Art Center to Los Angeles, and cooperated with Shanghai-Los Angeles Entertainment Company to shoot the TV series Broadway 100, which reflected the story of new immigrants in China, causing quite a stir in Chinese mainland and the Chinese community in the United States. Zhu is called "the pioneer of Shenzhen TV series", and it really deserves its reputation. In the early 1980s, Zhu visited Tokyo with the China film delegation, passing through Shenzhen. At that time, Shenzhen was just a small town. But she came up with the idea of "building Shenzhen, building a TV station and making a TV series". 1983165438+1At the beginning of October, she left Shanghai, which is famous for her study and life, and moved her family to the south. 1984 On New Year's Day, Shenzhen Special Zone TV Station was born. Zhu "jumped" from a movie star to a "leader" of a TV station, became the deputy director of Shenzhen TV Station, and became the first program host of the station.

After retirement,1September 1998, Zhu bid farewell to Shenzhen and settled in Los Angeles with her husband Hou. Hou Yuan is the head of the Fine Arts Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy. He has a unique skill in artistic creation, and can draw oil paintings on rice paper. In 2002, the White House Christmas card chosen by President Bush was created by Lu Zhenhuan, a student of Hou. After the couple retired, they joined hands with friends to set up "American Qionghua Film and Television Art Company", with Zhu as the president, and devoted themselves to cultural exchanges between China and the United States.

Elected heroine

196 1, when the red female soldier is about to start shooting, the heroine Qionghua has not yet been decided. The main line of this work is to reflect the struggle style of revolutionary women in that era through the growth of Qionghua. But where is Qionghua? In the script, Liang Xin describes Qionghua's outstanding appearance, that is, her eyes are burning. Therefore, finding those "eyes" has become the primary task of director Xie Jin before shooting. Many days, many pairs of eyes looked over, but those big eyes that lingered in Xie Jin's mind for a long time did not appear. This is really difficult for young directors.

One day, Xie Jin went to Shanghai Theatre Academy to handle affairs. Passing a classroom, a young man and a young woman are arguing loudly, which is rare in Shanghai, where they speak slowly and softly. Xie Jin was attracted. He was very excited when he saw the female students, with big burning eyes and some anger and excitement. Xie Jin was suddenly moved by these eyes. Isn't this the Qionghua I've been looking for?

However, Xie Jin didn't greet the college immediately, but simply asked the girl's name and knew that her name was Zhu and she had acted in a play before. At that time, Xie Jin was not very sure. Does this Zhu conform to the Qionghua in the confidence of screenwriter Liang? Liang Xin came to see it and was shocked at that time. Although Qionghua's role is a combination of several revolutionaries, this Zhu seems to have similarities with each of them. Zhu thus entered the cast of Red women soldiers. In Hainan, the living conditions were extremely difficult, but at that time everyone was very serious about filming. The actors in "Female Soldier" are very devoted, completely regard themselves as real female soldiers and consciously carry out military training. Chen Qiang, who played Nan Ba Tian, gave Zhu a lot of help at that time. When filming the scene where she pointed a gun at Nanbatian, she communicated with Chen Qiang for a long time in order to make her angry.

Among the red female soldiers.

More than 40 years ago, "Qionghua Wu" in "Red women soldiers" stood out. As a red classic series, it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of two generations of fans. For more than 40 years, Zhu has been a "female soldier", "Forward, forward!" Walking on the road of artistic life, no matter rain, snow, wind and frost, time and space changes, can't stop her from "moving forward forever!" Footsteps.

Burning Eyes started her artistic life.

From 65438 to 0962, as the first "film queen" in New China, 24-year-old Zhu became the focus of attention of hundreds of millions of people in China.

In the film Red women soldiers, the most unforgettable thing is the burning eyes of the vengeance, which made Zhu, a junior in the performance department of Shanghai Theatre Academy, begin her extraordinary artistic life.

With his ideal, 1957 was admitted to the performance department of Shanghai Theatre Academy. In junior high school, she used to be a walk-on in Blessing Children directed by Zhao Dan. Although she only has a back, the feeling of touching "electricity" has given her dreams wings.

In my junior year, I met Director Xie Jin who made a special trip to Shanghai Theatre Academy to select the heroine of the upcoming new film Red women soldiers. In order to find the "Qionghua Wu" in his heart, he once searched the whole film. In desperation, Xie Jin considered "digging" actors among the students at school. Xie Jin, an iron shoe, accidentally saw a pair of young actors and actresses arguing loudly in the rehearsal hall. It can be seen that they are arguing about how to play a role. The female students were very excited, and the appearance of a pair of big eyes made Xie Jin feel that he had found the "best candidate".

Knowing that Qionghua Wu, the heroine, was about to appear on the screen for the first time, she was naturally so excited that she didn't sleep a wink. After more than a month of military training with the former female soldier company commander Feng Zengmin, Zhu's face faded and he successfully played.

After the release of "Red women soldiers", like a whirlwind, it immediately swept the major cinemas in China.

1962, Volkswagen Pictures held the first National Film Awards named after Hundred Flowers Award, and Zhu was voted as the best actress by fans, becoming the first "queen of flowers" in the new China film circle.

Post-80s experience.

1983, Shenzhen, the "experimental field" of coastal special economic zones, started a huge development boom, recruiting talents in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai, and Zhu and his wife learned the news. She believes that for a city still under construction, personal potential can be released in all directions. At this time, 45-year-old Zhu Yiran moved his family to the south and came to the forefront of China's reform and opening up. As the deputy director of Shenzhen TV Station, she began to participate in the specific work of building a TV station and began to explore another brand-new world in her life.

"Speaking of the conditions at that time, you may find it hard to believe that pure strength is full of farmland and reeds. We set up two rows of iron houses on the edge of farmland and we started to work. " She recalled.

From a famous actor to a TV station leader, Zhu condensed his 15 administrative career into four words: punching and kicking. Zhu has a great personality in doing business at work, and was named "Public Relations Director" by her colleagues, and she was asked to do everything, big and small.

From 65438 to 0989, Zhu served as the director of the TV Art Center of Shenzhen TV Station, fully promoting the creation and production of TV dramas, and completed more than 20 TV dramas in five years. Among them, three TV series, Teenagers in Special Zone, Beyond Life and Gale Warning, won three awards in one fell swoop and were called "pioneers of Shenzhen TV series".

Regarding Zhu's contribution to Shenzhen TV Station, Yuan Geng, a pioneer in Shenzhen, commented that she was "a prickly cactus in the cultural desert of Shenzhen".

Forward, always forward!

From 65438 to 0998, Zhu retired and came to Los Angeles with her husband, becoming a new generation of immigrants.

In a new strange country, no one knows who she is, and everything has to start from scratch. Zhu and his friends co-founded "American Qionghua Film and Television Art Company" and devoted themselves to the cultural exchange between China and the United States. She handles the company's business every day and goes to the language school to cram English for free. She is very busy. She made rapid progress in English and got a driver's license at the age of 65.

Zhu Jing often runs between the United States and China. She has always prided herself on being a "Shenzhen native". Her strong inner "Shenzhen complex" makes all the film and television works she participates in or is responsible for take Shenzhen as the theme and background.

In 2007, Zhu and his son filmed a feature film "Sliding into the Future" with high-tech TV, which reflected the life and love of two generations of skateboarding youth in Shenzhen. Zhu said with a smile that when friends first knew that they were going to make such a young film, they all said that she must be crazy. "But my motto is' Forever!' My character is willing to accept new things and new challenges. "
