suspense work "The Three Brigades" has been the most popular recently. In addition to the movie version in which Zhang Yi played the leading role, which received rave reviews after its release, the drama version starring Qin Hao is also popular, and the reviews are equally eye-catching.
The two versions have their own merits, especially Qin Hao's drama version, which is more life-like and down-to-earth due to its length.
The addition of prime supporting characters such as Li Naiwen, Chen Minghao, and Lin Jiachuan makes the work more like a hundred flowers blooming, and you can't stop watching one episode.
However, it is true that phenomenal works like "Hurry" will be stuffed into "resource cafes" like Bai Xiaochen, and "Three Brigades" is no exception.
The person who has been questioned in the drama is undoubtedly Zhou Zixuan, who plays Tongtong, the daughter of the male protagonist Cheng Bing.
Although in terms of appearance, she is not even inferior to Tong Liya, who plays the mother, she is still criticized by drama fans because of her age, Internet celebrity feeling, and raw and hollow acting skills.
So, who is Zhou Zixuan? How can
make his screen debut in such an excellent work?
1. Super rich second generation?
The daughter Tongtong in "The Third Brigade" is the most tearful person.
She is the softest part in the heart of the male protagonist Cheng Bing. From the "caring little cotton-padded jacket" in his childhood to the indifference of his father after he was released from prison, every scene brings tears to the eyes, and it also makes Cheng Bing's tough man tender. Interpret it.
But Zhou Zixuan, who played the role of the girl Tongtong, obviously failed to satisfy the audience.
To be honest, her face is beautiful, and she even "collided" with Tong Liya, who played her mother, when she first appeared, which surprised the audience very much.
However, as the plot progressed, Tongtong played by Zhou Zixuan was obviously a sophomore in high school, but her slightly exquisite makeup and very hollow acting skills made her criticized and became one of the few failures in the work.
Compared with Zhao Maimai, the other girl in the case, Tongtong obviously seems too mature.
In fact, Zhou Zixuan was born in 2004, and is only 2 years older than Zhang Yinuo, who plays Zhao Maimai.
However, the two people’s growth experiences and family backgrounds are not the same, so their maturity levels are also different.
Zhou Zixuan was born in a wealthy family in Shanghai in 2004, but her background is a bit mysterious.
Rumor has it that his father started out in the financial business and had close friendships with many big names in the industry. The previous generation was even listed on China's Forbes richest list.
The most exaggerated statement is that some people say that Zhou's father is the richest man in Shanghai, but Zhou Zixuan has come forward to deny it. Before
became an Internet celebrity, she was quite low-key. In her early years, she posted about the school she attended, which was positioned as an aristocratic school in Shanghai. The tuition fee was as high as 300,000 yuan per year, and she had to be a foreigner.
It is reported that Zhou Zixuan also studied in the United States, but later returned to China to develop and intended to enter the entertainment industry.
In fact, this is not the first time she has come into the audience's sight. As early as 2016, she became famous as an Internet celebrity.
In fact, it is not objective to say that she had plastic surgery on the Internet. After all, Zhou Zixuan was a mixed-race beauty when she was 9 years old. Judging from the childhood photos she posted, she is indeed pretty and pretty.
As he grows older, especially after becoming an Internet celebrity, Zhou Zixuan’s facial features become more refined. In the photos, he is bright and dignified, and his temperament is not inferior to that of celebrities.
In addition, her life has always been luxurious. She can practice riding on an orthodox mixed-breed horse at a young age. Her other talents include skiing, playing piano, painting, guitar, etc.
’s colorful life seems to have made Zhou Zixuan develop a habit of sharing and develop into an Internet celebrity.
In 2016, when she was only 12 years old, she took the English name of paris and began to make a small name in the circle with short videos on small coffee shows.
After that, she transformed into a fashion blogger and became famous on the live broadcast platform.
2. Li Yan’s chief bestie?
Moreover, Zhou Zixuan lived a very luxurious life. In addition to his slim appearance at the age of 15, the most attractive thing was that he owned many famous brand bags, and the luxury clothes he wore every day were priced in the five figures.
For her birthday this year, the gift her father gave her was a pair of sneakers worth 80,000 yuan. Even the collar worn by pet Maomao was from Dior.
These "clues" let everyone fully understand that this girl did grow up with a silver spoon in her mouth.
Therefore, Zhou Zixuan’s circle of friends is also intertwined with the temperament of being rich or noble. Her most famous best friend is Faye Wong’s daughter Li Yan.
2018 was the year when Zhou Zixuan, who had always been relatively low-key, was most out of the industry: she became a hot search because she, Li Yan, and Wang Feng’s daughter Xiao Pingguo swept across big-name specialty stores.
At that time, Zhou Zixuan was still in the C position in the photo, so her name gradually became famous after that.
At that time, a few little sisters were shopping in Hong Kong. It was said that they spent 100,000 yuan in 2 hours, which was really outrageous.
Among the girls at that time, the eldest Zhou Zixuan was only 16 years old, Little Apple was 15 years old, and Li Yan was only 14 years old.
After the incident came to a head, Li Yan responded humorously in a self-deprecating way on social platforms: "Call me Li Shiwan!"
There were also rumors that Zhou Zixuan and Li Yan went to Macau that day, and they all took their own cars. A private helicopter, but later she personally refuted the rumors, saying that it was just a plane chartered by her father.
On the day they landed, "Queen" Faye Wong personally received them and arranged them to a presidential suite that cost 6,000 yuan a night. However, their girlfriends complained that the "conditions were too poor."
Also in this year, Faye Wong and her eldest daughter Dou Jingtong recorded the music program "City of Fantasy", and their youngest daughter Li Yan also came to the scene to help out.
Li Yan liked actress Lou Yixiao very much, so Faye Wong approached the latter very fondly and said: "Three children want to take a photo with you."
And one of these "three children" is Zhou Zixuan.
In fact, her friendship with Li Yan actually started a few years ago. The two children often go shopping together.
Li Yan also said bluntly in an interview that she doesn’t like to be with her parents when shopping, and only trusts her best friends.
The two even use the same phone case with Faye Wong’s emoticon package, and their relationship is indeed very good.
On Li Yan’s 14th birthday in 2020, she also shared photos of herself celebrating her birthday. In addition to Faye Wong’s amazing condition, which became a hot search, sharp-eyed netizens once again discovered Zhou Zixuan.
That night, Zhou Zixuan "overwhelmed" Li Yan with his amazing beauty, thus attracting public attention.
After that, they were often photographed playing together. One time the two girls went to Universal Studios together, and Zhou Zixuan was carrying a Hermès bag worth 20,000 that day.
In addition to Li Yan being "best friends", Zhou Zixuan and Huawei's second princess Yao Anna also seem to be good friends. The two once took a girl group-style photo with two other girls, and they seem to have a good relationship.
As a real socialite, Yao Anna’s circle of friends is full of super rich second generations like He Chaoxin and Yuan Jiuer. From this, we can also judge the family strength behind Zhou Zixuan.
3. Is it a long road to transform into an actor?
Currently, Zhou Zixuan is studying at Beijing Film Academy. She enrolled last year and appeared at the opening ceremony in September. At that time, she kept a low profile.
Before this, she had also attended classes for newcomers at the Yamashita Academy of Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, as well as Liu Tianchi's acting workshop, specifically to hone her acting skills.
It is surprising that Zhou Zixuan can appear in a work of the level of "The Three Brigades" just after his debut.
Although her background and experience are very consistent with the public's imagination of the current "socialite", before her debut, she has been actively doing things that she feels are meaningful.
For example, when the mask epidemic was at its worst, Zhou Zixuan took the initiative to apply to become a volunteer to participate in various activities and donated materials to the local community.
Although she is a foreigner, she will also wear Hanfu in school to promote the traditional shadow puppet culture.
In addition, Zhou Zixuan has been consulting children in impoverished mountainous areas and quietly doing some charity within his ability.
Until this time she appeared in "The Three Brigades" as her daughter Tongtong, and she once again attracted attention.
Tongtong is a growth-oriented character. From his complicated growth experience, to his misunderstanding of his father, to reconciliation with him, and reconciliation with himself... In fact, the role is challenging, and it also bears the tears of the entire story.
But her performance is a bit green, especially her appearance is too mature, and she does have the feeling of an internet celebrity.
From Zhou Zixuan’s childhood care, she may not have a large-scale facial expression, but her early experience and image as an Internet celebrity did leave traces on her face - which does not seem to be conducive to the portrayal of the character.
Director Guo Jingming once angrily criticized Meng Ziyi for being an "Internet celebrity" in the variety show "Actors Please Take Your Place" - this is because, in the eyes of directors, actors need characteristics and recognition.
But beautiful Internet celebrities are pursuing big eyes + high nose bridge + m lips + oval face: "Beauty means beauty, but lacks soul."
This may be the first difficulty Zhou Zixuan faces after transforming into a professional actor, and it is also the main reason why his poor performance in the drama caused complaints.
After all, compared with Tong Liya’s elegance and beauty, Ma Yinyin’s valor and courage, Ren Min’s rebelliousness and complexity, and many other different styles of beauty and layered performances, she still has a long way to go if she wants to become an excellent actor. .
Do you think Zhou Zixuan can become a good actor?
