Preamble:
Recently, a TV series called "Flowers" was broadcast on the screen, starring Lin Xilei , Chen Kun and others, telling a story of love and hate spanning 30 years.
Lin Xilei, as the goddess of Hong Kong films at the turn of the century, was once labeled as a "stunner" by the audience for starring in many "tertiary films", although she was nominated for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Actress and the Best Supporting Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards for her unique charming style and superb acting skills, but at the peak of her career, she chose to temporarily retire and disappeared for 12 years.
Now, Lin Xilei chose "Flowers" as her comeback work, and reappeared in the audience's field of vision, her comeback not only made the audience sigh that time has not left traces on her face, but also showed a more mature and diversified acting style, what made Lin Xilei choose to make a comeback? What does she think of her acting career?
1. From "stunner" to "actress": Lin Xilei's acting career
Lin Xilei, born in 1976, immigrated to the United States with her parents since she was a child, and spent her childhood in the United States.
In 1995, Lin Xilei officially entered the film and television industry with the movie "Blind Well", and then starred in film and television works such as "Lust and Caution" and "The Wind", and was nominated many times for her outstanding performance, becoming a high-profile first-line actress, especially when she starred in "Lust and Caution", Lin Xilei's superb acting skills were recognized, and she was nominated for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Actress.
Lin Xilei, who was on the rise in her career, chose to retire and disappeared from the audience's field of vision for 12 years, and there were all kinds of speculations about her retirement, some people thought that it was because of Lin Xilei's family problems at the time, she made such a choice in order to take care of her family, and some people thought that it was because of the bottleneck in her career, Lin Xilei thought that she was trapped in the role of "vase", and wanted to make a breakthrough but couldn't find a suitable work, so she chose to retire.
No matter what the reason, Lin Xilei's retirement choice was undoubtedly a huge loss in the film and television industry at that time, because the audience's expectations for her have always been very high, and they also hope to see her outstanding performance in more excellent works.
2. A stunning comeback after 12 years of retirement
Time flies, twelve years have passed in a blink of an eye, and now Lin Xilei reappeared in the audience's field of vision, and chose "Flowers" as her comeback, in which she played the female number one Su Ying, and Chen Kun, Zhang Fengyi and other powerful actors on the same stage, once again showing her tactful and charming temperament and superb acting skills.
Compared with her twelve years ago, Lin Xilei today not only has the same appearance, but her acting skills are even better, and her comeback work has also been well received by the audience, many viewers have said that the twelve years of waiting have finally paid off, and being able to see Lin Xilei's outstanding performance on the screen is full of excitement and emotion.
Perhaps because of twelve years of experience and precipitation, Lin Xilei is now more comfortable in shaping characters, no longer limited to the weak "vase" image, but can try to play more diverse characters, whether it is a 17-year-old girl or a 40-year-old middle-aged woman, she can perform vividly and vividly, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
Such a comeback work also gave the audience a new understanding of Lin Xilei, no longer just staying on the label of "stunner", but can see her rich inner world and excellent acting skills, for her comeback, the audience also gave high recognition and support, I hope to continue to see her wonderful performance in future works.
3. Look at the persistence and choice of the actor from the comeback
Lin Xilei's comeback road can be said to be very difficult and not easy, after all, she has disappeared for 12 years, and reappearing in the audience's field of vision is undoubtedly a huge challenge for her, and she also needs to face tests and doubts from all sides.
It is the test of the market, today's film and television market has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the tastes and needs of the audience have also been very different.
It is a test for the audience, and today's audience watching movies no longer stays on the appearance and aura of the actors, but pays more attention to the performance of the work itself and acting skills.
In the face of all kinds of tests and challenges, Lin Xilei was able to choose to make a brave comeback, showing her enthusiasm for her acting career and her firm belief in her own value, such persistence and hard work are undoubtedly worthy of recognition and encouragement, and also gave other actors who are facing similar difficulties some inspiration and encouragement, so that they know that no matter what kind of difficulties they encounter, they should face and meet them bravely, believe in themselves, insist on choosing, and one day they will usher in their own light.
Epilogue:
Every actor's growth path is full of ups and downs and hardships, whether they choose to retire or bravely come back, it takes a lot of courage and effort, and the audience should also give them enough understanding and support, don't look at them too one-sidedly and superficially, should pay more attention to their acting skills and works, and use practical actions to support and encourage them, so that excellent works and actors can get due attention and affirmation.
I hope that Lin Xilei can continue to shine in the future acting career, and I also look forward to seeing her wonderful performance in more excellent works, no matter what kind of role, she can perform very well, bringing a different viewing experience to the audience, and I also look forward to more powerful and potential actors who can be valued and loved by the audience, and jointly contribute to the development of the film and television industry
