On February 18, Zheng Shuang talked about his debut in a variety show, frankly confessing that before filming "Let's Watch Meteor Shower", he had rejected Zhang Yimou's invitation and gave up the opportunity to appear in "The Hawthorn Tree Love".
Regarding the reasons for giving up that year, Zheng Shuang is very frank, thinking that movies are more lofty and TV shows are closer to the audience. So even after receiving the favor of director Zhang Yimou, he finally chose to play Chu Yuxun.
chooses the other side of the TV series, the staff tells that the idol drama will be popular, but the evaluation of the harvest is not necessarily all positive. However, she resolutely chose "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower".
can’t deny that Chu Yuxun has become Zheng Shuang’s representative character, and she also met with Zhang Han. For this love, she once refused many script offers, and set herself a variety of constraints such as not making kiss scenes. She only wanted to wash her hands and make soup. Looking back at
ten years after his debut, Zheng Shuang, who was the peak of his debut, caused a number of stagnations in his originally optimistic career in love, which is also regrettable.
However, did Zheng Shuang really reject Zhang Yimou? In November 2009, the idea that Yan Geling's novel "The Love of Hawthorn Tree" would be adapted into a movie spread like wildfire. Directors such as Feng Xiaogang expressed their joy, and Zhang Yimou quickly grabbed the IP. Because the theme itself is somewhat similar to the original "My Father and Mother", but Zhang Ziyi has been unable to return to the state when he was 19 years old. It is difficult who will play Jing Qiu. The picture of

back then, Jingqiu did not lack all kinds of big names to throw olive branches, Tang Wei and Sun Li are both considered tentative actors. However, this did not reach the standard that Zhang Yimou was pure enough for Jingqiu in his heart, so he and his partner Zhang Weiping at the time began a selection of hawthorn girl Jingqiu.
Among them, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping went to various professional colleges to find good seedlings. Zheng Shuang, who was only in his sophomore year, was interviewed. At that time, Zhang Weiping said that the requirements for Jingqiu's choice were that one was pure enough, or even green, and on the other hand, there was no brokerage company.
From these two points, compared to classmate Jing Tian, who started filming earlier, Zheng Shuang does not have a brokerage company. And her own pure image is highly consistent with the requirements of Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping at the time.
But from the perspective of the timeline, in 2009, Zhang Yimou’s main work was busy with the release of "Three Shots: Surprise", and "The Love of Hawthorn Tree" was the "fill in the blanks" between this movie and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" The work is also a work that was announced to the media in November of that year.
Zhang Yimou made the decision not to use a big name, and let the newcomer provoke the leader, and determined that this role is not inferior to Zhang Ziyi of the year, which shows his attention.
In January 2010, Zhang Yimou stated that he was looking for actors for "The Hawthorn Tree Love" during the promotion of "Three Shots: Surprise", but there are not many that fit his inner imagination, which means there are still no Set board. The content of

. On the other hand, Zheng Shuang started shooting "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together" (formerly known as "Meteor Shower") on February 18, 2009. She appeared in a little red dress with Zhang Han, Yu Haoming, Wei Chen and Zhu Zixiao to form a new lineup.
This also means that Zheng Shuang has signed a contract with the crew in early 2009 and made the decision to abandon what she says now in "The Love of Hawthorn Tree".
is more than a year away from the launch of "Hawthorn Love" in April 2010. From the timeline, Zheng Shuang’s refusal to play Jingqiu is not right. It can only be said that she has given up the possibility of continuing contact with Zhang Yimou’s crew.
Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping’s search for Jingqiu lasted for more than a year, and Zheng Shuang gave up before the selection started.
Let’s take another look at how fierce the competition for the role of Jingqiu was. In addition to many big names, Zhou Dongyu, who participated in the casting of the cast, said with emotion that all kinds of beautiful women gathered, and she believed that she had no chance. When
got the audition notice from the crew, Dongyu Zhou mistakenly thought it was rightFang is a liar. Being a newcomer, she admits that it was like dreaming to work with top directors like Zhang Yimou at the age of 17. This statement
more truly reflects the statement of many newcomers and even professional actors, but Zheng Shuang now understates that the movie is too cold, so he went to make idol dramas. Although this statement is quite true feedback that she is not confident enough and cowardly in her heart, but for the actor profession, it is a bit weird.
However, in her own book, Zheng Shuang once gave another answer to giving up "The Love of Hawthorn Tree." Because of the pressure of public opinion, despite the opposition of his parents, he refused this opportunity.
She is afraid that her family, friends and everything around her will be hollowed out because of her overnight fame on the big screen.
Zheng Shuang, who has always been outspoken, told the story of "The Love of Hawthorn Tree" in the variety show, but it is not difficult to find that in those years, because of Chu Yuxun, she became more popular than Zhou Dongyu.
is just on the road of the actor, and Zheng Shuang’s decision led to two forks. What would happen to the story if it started with a director like Zhang Yimou instead of plunged into love with Zhang Han? Maybe an actress who has been mediating in idol dramas for ten years will have a different picture.
