In 2006, Chen Zihan, who was at the peak of his career, encountered Waterloo.
Her and her boyfriend Wang Yu's private photos inexplicably flowed out and were auctioned off wildly in the market.
During that time, the words "100 photos, bulk purchases can be 20% off" were everywhere.
Chen Zihan, who had three golden flowers at Nortel, fell into a trough for a while.
The boyfriend also coldly chose to leave, turned around and threw himself into the arms of another woman.
How did Chen Zihan, who is famous in costume dramas, get out of the predicament step by step?
01, growth
In 1975, in a house in Chongqing, a little girl named Chen Zihan (formerly known as Chen Shasha) was born.
When she was a child, Chen Zihan liked to bang and jump, and especially liked to dance.
Therefore, his parents sent Chen Zihan to the dance class to learn dance.
After years of cultivation, Chen Zihan's dance skills have developed by leaps and bounds.
And these results also played a good plus point in the future college entrance examination.
When he was a child, Chen Zihan looked very good, and it was also because he liked hobbies such as dancing and calligraphy and painting, which made Chen Zihan's originally hot Sichuan girl personality have more of a small family jasper of Jiangnan women.
As an adult, Chen Zihan was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy as he wished.
During this period, Chen Zihan took over a lot of costume dramas and became a costume goddess in everyone's mind.
The reason why Chen Zihan can achieve such an achievement is to thank a little girl who encouraged her on the road of her growth and made her insist on not giving up.
It turned out that as early as 1993, Chen Zihan was the age of the third year of high school.
That year, Chen Zihan gave up years of training in dance and participated in English training organized by the school.
And after his own hard work, he was successfully admitted to the Department of Foreign Languages of Chongqing University.
However, things were not developing step by step, and Chen Zihan dropped out of school not long after going to school.
After dropping out of school, Chen Zihan embarked on the road of art again.
The following year, Chen Zihan was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy with the first place in the culture class and the second place in the professional course. Because of his sweet looks, Chen Zihan was known as the "Three Golden Flowers of Nortel" with Jin Qiaoqiao and Jiang Qinqin in the school.
However, there is a difference between people and people, and there is also a difference between golden flowers and golden flowers.
Just when Chen Zihan was still studying in class during college, Jin Qiaoqiao and Jiang Qinqin had already taken over many TV dramas and had become famous for a long time.
One day, Chen Zihan and Jiang Qinqin were wandering around the campus and talked about the name of three golden flowers.
Chen Zihan also jokingly said: After a few years, will anyone know that there is another person named Chen Zihan in the 415 dormitory of our school?
In this complicated place of the entertainment industry, there are beautiful and big people, and Chen Zihan's worries are not unreasonable.
The primary element of an actor must be "beauty", and he will only start to fight acting skills after his appearance is recognized by the public.
02 Went to Hong Kong alone for development
1997 was Chen Zihan's first year in the entertainment industry.
Through the introduction of friends, Chen Zihan came to Tianjin to shoot "Nong ben amorous".
At that time, many of the people who filmed this drama together were big gangster-level figures, and the 6,000 yuan salary also made Chen Zihan see hope.
In this way, nortel's three golden flowers have graduated.
Jiang Qinqin became a Qiong girl, Jin Qiaoqiao became synonymous with the peacock princess, and only Chen Zihan ran directly to Hong Kong to develop.
Hong Kong's development is much faster than inland, Chen Zihan has played a variety of roles after arriving in Hong Kong, and has also experienced the cold and warm feelings of society in Hong Kong's showbiz circle.
Finally, Chen Zihan got a chance to star in the Princess of Pingyang in "Han Tianzi" in 2001, and her impeccable acting skills and sweet appearance were quickly accepted by the public.
In the following years, due to the popularity of costume dramas, many directors have found Chen Zihan to cooperate, and Chen Zihan has also worked hard to seize this opportunity.
At the beginning, Chen Zihan perfectly interpreted the poor role of Jewel in "The Tale of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens", and the ups and downs of the emotional interpretation of the role of Jewel vividly interpreted the ups and downs of her life.
That is to say, with the perfect interpretation of Zhu'er in "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", the role of Guo Fu in "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" was ushered in.
At that time, when taking over the filming of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", Chen Zihan's heart was entangled, but in the end he made up his mind to take over the role of Jewel, and said that he wanted to play an image of Guo Fu that was different from everyone's mind.
Although Guo Fu's role was very successful, it did not help Chen Zihan much.
These TV series have won huang xiaoming and Liu Yifei for a while, but for Chen Zihan, the public's familiarity is still not as good as some stars.
Part of the reason for this is that most of the audience focuses on actors who play positive roles, and they don't buy into negative roles.
03 Good luck after changing the name
In the entertainment industry, there has always been an unwritten rule. That is, changing a name can change people's luck and destiny.
So, in 2005, Chen Zihan consulted many masters who changed their names, ready to change their names, and finally, Chen Shasha changed her name to Chen Zihan.
Chen Zihan himself said that he had chosen the two words "Zihehan" from a large number of words, hoping to represent Ziqidong to change his destiny.
The truth was exactly what she had hoped.
Just the year after the name change, Chen Zihan took over the filming of "The Legend of the White Snake", playing the female number two green snake in the play.
Because of Chen Zihan's excellent performance, he was immediately loved by the audience.
Chen Zihan also put a lot of effort into this role, consulted a considerable amount of information, he himself said, before meeting the director of "The Legend of the White Snake", she wrote a long letter, mentally describing her life experience and understanding of the role.
It is because of such hard work and diligent attitude that Chen Zihan impressed the director and let her play the role of Xiaoqing.
04 The mobile phone is lost, causing a big disaster
But contrary to expectations, what really makes Chen Zihan enter everyone's vision is not the TV series he starred in.
What really makes everyone recognize Chen Zihan is because of several photos in the mobile phone.
At this time, Chen Zihan was already 37 years old, and his acting career had been tepid.
There has never been a suitable person around, and everyone in the family says that Chen Zihan is simply a standard leftover woman.
In one interview, the host also asked about marriage.
Chen Zihan said this, she said that when she was young, her father was very strict with her discipline, because she was good-looking and learned to dance, resulting in a lot of boys around her.
Every time such a situation occurs, Chen Zihan said that his father will tell himself to focus on his studies and stay away from boys.
Moreover, Chen Zihan's father would wait at the school gate every day after school to pick up Chen Zihan to go home, which made many boys who wanted to send Chen Zihan home discouraged.
Therefore, from a young age, Chen Zihan knew that he could not get too close to the boy, but should stay away from the boy, slowly, over time, everyone knew Chen Zihan's personality, and he no longer revolved around her.
Chen Zihan himself said that due to the cultivation of such a habit, he often encountered a boy he liked and did not dare to express it.
Most of the time, he could only take small hints, so Chen Zihan never met the boyfriend who was suitable for him.
One day in 2006, Chen Zihan was in a stage of steady development, but she encountered an accident since her career.
I got into big trouble for myself because of the loss of my phone.
The loss of the mobile phone has exposed the intimate photos of Chen Zihan and her boyfriend Wang Yu to the public's line of sight.
What's more, it even marked a price tag of 100 yuan a piece.
Who Wang Yu is, presumably everyone knows very well, is the famous "Four Young people in the capital".
According to Chen Zihan's good friend at the time, because Chen Zihan was often separated from Wang Yu when he was filming, the two people often took some photos to communicate with each other.
Coincidentally, the incident of Chen Zihan and Wang Yu's photos has not yet been resolved, and the next month, Chen Zihan's photo of the magazine in Hong Kong was made public.
It turned out that this time Chen Zihan was completely deceived.
When I was in Hong Kong, a good friend of the association came to Chen Zihan and said that Chen Zihan's figure and appearance were very good, and it was very suitable for taking photos.
And do everything possible to ensure that the photos taken will not be revealed, and will only be sent to Chen Zihan himself.
After the photos came out, Chen Zihan faced an unprecedented crisis.
Although this matter is a victim for Chen Zihan, the photo has been sent out, and even if he finds a lawyer, he will not be able to solve any problems.
Later, Chen Zihan had no way, and wrote an article in the blog to explain his experience at that time, which was an explanation to the public.
05 Millennium female second, always not red
After a period of time, the heat of the photo slowly faded, and Chen Zihan began a new job.
In the following period of time, Chen Zihan kept taking on various different scenes to hone his will.
Although most of them are supporting roles, Chen Zihan has created many classic roles with his acting skills.
For example: the all-round agent in "Black Rose", the rouge in "Living Buddha Jigong", the fox eight sisters in "Every Day there is joy", the sword spirit red jade in "Ancient Sword Qitan", the beautiful demon king in "Half Demon Fall", etc., are also slowly loved by everyone.
06 Meet true love
Finally, in 2015, Chen Zihan met the Prince Charming of his life.
His name is Dai Xiangyu, a new person signed by Chen Zihan's brokerage company, born in 1984 in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, 9 years younger than Chen Zihan.
Dai Xiangyu's appearance is very handsome, with a height of 1.85, which is the "Come on! The top 20 players in "Good Boys".
Since then, Dai Xiangyu has been developing in Singapore and has a high popularity in Singapore.
Dai Xiangyu was an agent with Chen Zihan at the time, but the first two people did not have any intersection, and they did not even say a few words.
Dai Xiangyu is a boy who does not like to talk, and his life schedule is like an "old man", and the agent pulled several actors into a group in order to let Dai Xiangyu communicate with people.
Unfortunately, several months have passed, and I still haven't seen Dai Xiangyu talking in the group.
The agent was angry and forced Dai Xiangyu to communicate with people.
In desperation, Dai Xiangyu had to talk to Chen Zihan when he had nothing to do.
In this way, the two people began to chat on WeChat.
Dai Xiangyu is a person whose life is very boring, and people are also very slow and hot.
And Chen Zihan is a big grinning southern girl, and the personalities of the two people are diametrically opposite.
However, unexpectedly, over time, Dai Xiangyu actually adapted to Chen Zihan's personality.
After an event, Dai Xiangyu and Chen Zihan went back in the same car.
On the way back, Dai Handed Chen Zihan a lunch box containing cooked fish fillets and sweet potatoes.
Chen Zihan ate in his mouth, although he did not say anything, but his heart was warm.
That's it, there's no word all the way.
After a long time, Dai Xiangyu discovered his feelings for Chen Zihan and launched a fierce pursuit.
At first, Chen Zihan was repulsive, believing that he was nine years older than Dai Xiangyu.
However, Dai Xiangyu did not care about these things, and touched Chen Zihan little by little with practical actions.
Slowly, Dai Xiangyu and Chen Zihan began to communicate.
Just a year and a half after the two had been dating, Dai Xiangyu proposed to Chen Zihan. On May 19, 2016, Chen Zihan and Dai Xiangyu received their marriage licenses at the Chaoyang District Civil Affairs Bureau in Beijing.
The couple's wedding was scheduled for Spain.
In a later interview, Chen Zihan said that when he married Dai Xiangyu, this was the way he dreamed of the wedding.
But online, there are different attitudes towards the marriage of two people.
Some people say that Dai Xiangyu is nine years younger than Chen Zihan, and must have valued Chen Zihan's film and television resources for its own development.
There are also some people who think that the age difference between two people is nine years, in short, most of them are not optimistic.
However, Dai Xiangyu and Chen Zihan were not affected by the outside world, living a small life of two people, still caring for each other, and taking the initiative to visit the class when one party had time.
When there is no drama, both people are at home reading books and listening to music. In time for the New Year's Festival, Dai Xiangyu and Chen Zihan will return to their parents' homes in Zhejiang and Chongqing for the holidays.
Because both people are actors, they have a lot of common language and common interests between them, which makes their little life very prosperous.
Now, Chen Zihan is 46 years old, and her husband Dai Xiangyu lives his ideal married life, although he is not favored by the public, but the two people are proving their love to the public with practical actions.
In the years after their marriage, Dai Xiangyu's fans also changed from not accepting Chen Zihan at the beginning, often going to Chen Zihan's Weibo to insulting, to now accepting and believing.
Chen Zihan himself also began the transformation of his career, gradually turning to the role of producer, boss of economic company and so on.
Dai Xiangyu is also very contentious, in the years after marriage, after his unremitting efforts, his acting skills have been greatly improved, and he has begun to slowly emerge in film and television, and has been accepted by the public.
Chen Zihan once said in the live broadcast that since getting married in 2016, he has not filmed for 3 years and has gone all out to prepare for pregnancy, but there has been no good news.
Now, Chen Zihan and Dai Xiangyu's primary goal is to conceive a baby, and I also wish Chen Zihan and Dai Xiangyu to become parents as soon as possible and achieve the double consummation of life!
The bad experiences of the past are gone, and now Chen Zihan is greeted by a new future.
Chen Zihan said that her life has entered a new field, and her pursuit of life has a new goal, but even so, film and television actors are an industry she will never give up.
