Foreword: In our lives, we often hear the words "dedication to art".
But there are very few people who can really do it.
After all, for most people, art is an ethereal existence, let alone dedication to it.
Even if someone is willing to dedicate his life to art, he will consider whether he can withstand the gossip and skepticism of the public.
But there is such a girl who would rather risk being spurned to complete her artistic career.
This girl is Tongali, and she made herself popular in the sky with a human portrait.
But at the same time as becoming famous, Tongali also paid a terrible price.
Not only did her husband choose to divorce her, but even her father drove her out of the house and cut off her relationship.
If she had a chance to do it all over again, I wonder if she would have made a different choice?
1. Transferred from the dance industry to the entertainment industry.
Tongali was born in 1976 in Hefei Province, Anhui Province, where her father was a local police officer.
Since she showed a strong interest in dance from an early age, her parents sent her to a professional dance school to study.
But after studying for a while, Tongali's teacher noticed that her body was unusually flexible, so he suggested that she switch to gymnastics.
With her outstanding talent, Tongali has achieved great success in the gymnastics industry and has also been rated as an elite athlete.
But being an athlete is not Tongali's true idea,
She hopes that one day she will be able to stand in the spotlight and receive the cheers and applause of the crowd.
In order to fulfill her dream, she tried to communicate with her father, hoping to persuade her father to let her enter the entertainment industry.
But when my father heard Tongali's idea, he refused without even thinking about it.
In my father's opinion, the entertainment industry itself is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and it is not possible to achieve good development after entering here.
Although her father did not agree, the dream of becoming a star took root in Tongali's heart.
In order to enter a bigger stage, Tongali was admitted to the Beijing Dance Academy through her own efforts.
During his time at the school, he also participated in many stage plays held by the school.
After graduating, Tongali successfully entered the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe under the advice of her teacher and became a professional dancer.
After becoming an actress, although Tongali stood in the spotlight as she wished, she always felt that this was not what she wanted.
After all, the stage of the song and dance troupe is too small for everyone to see their success.
If you want to enter the public's field of vision, you must make yourself a star in the limelight.
So despite the opposition of her parents, Tongali resolutely resigned from her job in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe and entered the entertainment industry alone.
Due to not having enough acting experience, Tongali could only shoot some bland small roles like other actors.
The huge gap between ideals and reality also made Tongali feel aggrieved.
Just when she didn't know what to do, she unexpectedly met Shen Dong, the director of Beijing Film Studio.
2. Take a photo album of the human body for the famous.
Although the two only met in a hurry, Shen Dong was deeply impressed by this young and beautiful girl.
not only used his connections to help her find a role, but also gave her expensive gifts from time to time.
After a period of fierce pursuit, Tongali's heart was captured by Shen Dong, and the two entered the marriage hall.
With Shen Dong as her backer, Tongali has also achieved a big breakthrough in her acting career, and she no longer needs to have a headache about not receiving works.
But even so, Tongali still felt dissatisfied,
She thinks that it is not a big problem to enter the A-list star with her own strength.
In order to achieve more for herself, Tongali tried her best to find other channels to become famous.
In 2001, Tongali finally waited for the opportunity, and she was valued by body photographer Zhang Xulong when she was shooting an underwear commercial.
Because Tongali insists on practicing dance all year round, her body curves are extraordinarily beautiful.
Looking at this beautiful carcass, Zhang Xulong took the initiative to send him a request to take a human body photo.
And swore a promise: "As long as you let me take a human portrait of you, you will be popular all over the country overnight." ”
You know, at that time, people's ideas were not so open.
If you take a nude photo, it means that you will suffer from gossip from the outside world.
But if you give up, your dream of becoming famous overnight will be in vain.
Just between fame and fame, Tongali struggled to wander, not knowing what to do?
At this time, the surrounding crowd also began to coax, thinking that Tongali should not waste such a good opportunity.
So she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and directly signed her name on the cooperation agreement.
This means that all of your fate is blocked on the human body photo.
3. Although it became popular, it paid a painful price.
Subsequently, Tongali devoted herself to the photo shooting with enthusiasm.
In order to achieve better results, Tongali not only needed to strip her whole body of clothes,
You also have to maintain a variety of difficult movements and show the beauty of the human body in a variety of different ways.
Although Tongali is a professional dancer, some movements are still very challenging for her.
In addition, they go outdoors for inspiration, combining the human body with nature to create a sense of returning to basics.
The whole shooting process lasted a whole year and a half, and 800 boxes of film were emptied.
In the end, more than 100 of the thousands of photos were carefully selected.
When Zhang Xulong took the washed photo and put it in front of Tang Jiali,
Tongali was stunned by the self in the photo, it turned out that she could be so beautiful.
In 2002, the book "Tongali Body Art Photo" was officially released by the People's Fine Arts Publishing House.
There are a total of 144 photos in the whole photo album, showing the body art in front of everyone through different dimensions.
Unexpectedly, this photo book was sold out in just two hours, and 15,000 copies were sold in a month.
The popularity of the photo album also gave Tongali a taste of fame, and her name became popular all over the country overnight.
even rushed to the top of the hot search list, and some people praised him as "a new generation of heartthrobs".
Tongali, who became famous in this way, was also disliked by the outside world and her family.
Not only did the husband request a divorce, but even the father scolded him, saying that he would not have this daughter in the future.
What makes Tongali even more painful is that Zhang Xulong, who led her to the road to success, should turn against her on the copyright issue of the photo.
Faced with the incomprehension of the outside world and the abandonment of her relatives, Tongali fell into a deep helplessness and self-blame.
Conclusion: Now 47 years old, Tongali has not escaped from her nightmarish days.
She often dreams of those happy moments in the middle of the night,
If she knew that the consequences of becoming famous would be so painful, I don't know if she would have made the same choice?
But life is not a game, and no one can get a chance to do it all over again,
Everyone needs to pay for their choices, but some are too heavy.
Tongali used her own personal experience to explain to us the importance of choice,
Once a choice is made, the consequences are likely to be unbearable.
I hope everyone can take this as a warning, and it is best to think carefully before making a choice.
