Recently, Tan Songyun, who returned with the new drama "You Are More Beautiful than Starlight", once again attracted attention. The reason is:
Why is she still so girlish at the age of 34? The scene in the drama challenging college students is not inconsistent?
Indeed, with her baby face, she has always been very popular among the public. She has been in the industry for more than ten years and has left many classic images.
What’s more, Tan Songyun also has a very magical point: every once in a while, she can produce a hit work, and she is praised by the outside world for her “first-class ability to carry dramas”!
But in fact, what is rarely known is that this girl who always looks sweet has bitter tears behind her fame. In addition to her favorite fans and passers-by,
has also experienced waves of online violence, but she never seemed to show her bad emotions.
On the contrary, she has always run towards the goal of being a good actor...
1. A small town girl's dream of stardom
Tan Songyun is a Sichuan girl. She was born in 1990. Her parents are both working class, but they are very attentive to her training.
She has been quiet since she was a child, a good girl who likes reading and dancing. At the age of 11, she was successfully admitted to the Sichuan Dance Academy and began to learn classical dance and folk dance.
Since the school is under closed management, the parents were initially afraid that their daughter would not be able to endure the hardship and refused to let her go, but Tan Songyun was particularly insistent.
In this way, she gave up her nine years of compulsory education and embarked on the path of art.
’s first days of learning dance were very hard. Because her waist was too hard, she often cried non-stop during practice. Her parents were always running around trying to make a living. The sensible Tan Songyun almost never complained about the hardship and exhaustion of studying.
This is because of the unconditional love and support of her parents. When Tan Songyun was interviewed, she once said proudly:
"My parents have to call me every day when I am studying abroad, worrying about all kinds of things."
But after learning a dance, she found that she My interest is in acting, especially after watching "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", I became more sure that I want to be an actor in the future.
Although parents from ordinary backgrounds know that it is not easy to work in this industry, in order not to discourage their daughters, they silently support them in their own way.
’s mother also secretly sent Tan Songyun’s photos to the Emei Film Studio Theater Company, hoping to help her find opportunities.
In 2005, there was finally news here. At the age of 15, she got the opportunity to participate in the TV series "Have a Good Life".
However, Tan Songyun tried to compete in Beijing Film Academy for the first time in the future, but unexpectedly failed.
In fact, her family was not particularly optimistic about her dream at that time. Only her mother firmly supported her, even though the family conditions were not well-off.
During the whole year of re-study, Tan Songyun spent a lot of money, but her parents never said anything. They just said: "As long as you want it, I will give it to you."
Finally, at the age of 17, Tan Songyun was admitted to Beijing Film Academy. Department of Performance, in the same class as Zhang Ruoyun and others.
While in college, she began to take roles and acted in dramas such as "5.12 Wenchuan Don't Believe in Tears" and "My Years of Love". However, the response to her works was average and she did not receive any dividends.
It was not until 2011 that Tan Songyun made some splash when she played the role of "The True Lady" in the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan". It was purely a coincidence that
was able to get this role. She was still in school at the time because she couldn't take a leave of absence, so she sent her performance clips to the crew. The director caught her eye and played the role of Chungui Ren.
In this 76-episode drama, Tan Songyun did not have many roles, but she won a wave of applause for her spirited performance.
But despite this, her life was the same as usual after that, and she still played minor roles:
such as Kwon Jinxiu in "Master Lin in Seoul", the policewoman Hua Wuyue in "Police Girls of the Republic of China", etc.
During her period, Tan Songyun also came into contact with big-screen shooting, and appeared in works such as Chen Kaige's "Search" and Andy Lau's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", but her roles were few and fleeting.
2. When her career was on the rise, her family suffered a sudden accident
The real breakthrough period of her career was in the 7th year of her debut. She successively released "Tornado Girl" and "The Best of Us", thus establishing herself as a "little white flower on campus". character.
Especially after playing the role of "Gengar" in "The Best of Us", her career has improved.
But in fact, what few people know is that the role was not originally hers.
Although the director felt that Tan Songyun was very suitable for "Geng Geng" after the audition, the management insisted on choosing the actress he recommended.
Fortunately, the filming was about to start, but this actress chose to give up because she did not want to cut her hair short for a web drama, and thus accidentally became Tan Songyun.
In the drama, her acting skills are relaxed and natural, especially although she plays an underage girl, her interpretation of "geng Geng" and "honest noble" are completely different.
Even when filming "The Best of Us", she was already 26 years old.
At a stage when all female celebrities are pursuing a "girly look", Tan Songyun, who looks particularly "small", has undoubtedly caught up with the best trend.
After the broadcast of "The Best of Us", her partnership with actor Liu Haoran suddenly broke out of the industry, and she won the "Most Potential Actor Award" for this.
However, although this drama was popular, it did not help Tan Songyun much in terms of resources. After that, she starred in the idol dramas "Fox's Summer" and "Spray Blossoms", etc., but they became popular.
Perhaps it is because she has been playing highly repetitive roles and has not made much breakthrough in acting.
In 2017, Tan Songyun appeared in the popular "The Birth of an Actor", but was unfortunately eliminated due to poor acting skills.
The audience thought that she would continue her efforts, rely on strength to transform, and then rush to the front line.
But unexpectedly, Tan Songyun suddenly "disappeared" after that.
It was not until the beginning of 2019 that her agent announced through social platforms that her mother had passed away due to an accidental car accident, which forced her career to come to a halt.
It was New Year’s Eve in 2018. My mother and her classmates were involved in a car accident on their way home after a party. The perpetrator escaped after the incident.
Tan’s mother, who was the most seriously injured, was sent to the hospital. Although she went through all-out rescue efforts for more than 20 days, she eventually died of multiple organ failure.
Not only that, in more than a year after the incident, Tan Songyun never received any apology from the perpetrator and his family, which was also unacceptable to her.
In August of the following year, the case was heard publicly in the local court and was also broadcast live online.
Tan Songyun attended without makeup and said this tearful words at the end:
"For eight months in the past year, I have been healing myself every day to accept that my mother has passed away. For eight months in the past year, I have been healing myself every day. Months, I miss her every day..."
Indeed, during this period, she rarely showed up, and the articles she sent on social platforms also seemed particularly sad.
But she also said: "I will be good and let everyone and my mother feel at ease."
Sure enough, Tan Songyun really cheered up after that, and at the end of 2019, she produced the hit drama "Under the Brocade".
The six-door detective Yuan Jinxia played by her is unruly and loves money, but has a broad mind and an eccentric personality, which makes her very popular.
This drama has long occupied the top spot on Weibo’s TV drama list after it was aired, and it also allowed the audience to see more possibilities for Tan Songyun.
3. Give up her natural advantages and not be an "idol"
The following year, she starred in the growth healing drama "In the Name of Family", and challenged the role of high school student Li Jianjian at the age of 30, and she did not violate the rules. and.
Especially the scene where he was having a conversation with his deceased mother on the rooftop, which made countless people cry.
This scene was filmed not long after Tan Songyun experienced the pain of losing her mother. Many netizens who knew about it also left messages: This is a scene that does not require acting and is a true expression of true feelings.
In addition, her acting skills are indeed touching and moved netizens.
What’s even more rare is that Tan Songyun never stops moving forward.
Although her childish appearance is very suitable for filming idol dramas, she has been looking for breakthroughs after becoming famous. In addition to the family drama "In the Name of Family",
has also filmed the costume drama "Jade in the Heart", the workplace drama "Please Call Me Director", and the inspirational drama "Walking to the Wind".
Although it is inevitable to "romance" with the male protagonists in these works, compared with ordinary sweet pet dramas, Tan Songyun's superb acting skills are impressive.
For example, the heroine Luo Shiniang in "Jade Heart" is both real and complex. The innocence of a little girl and the sophistication of an adult are blended in her, presenting a very outstanding image, so it is reasonable to explode. .
In addition to the TV drama market, Tan Songyun is also actively expanding her resources on the big screen, and has appeared in works such as "August is Young" and "Goodbye, Li Cola". Although
has mixed reviews, its courage is commendable.
Especially the current "You Are More Beautiful than Starlight" has received numerous praises since its launch. Some people directly pointed out that Tan Songyun's "ability to carry dramas" is really top-notch.
Behind this is not only professional proficiency, but also magical popularity among passers-by.
Perhaps the audience likes her not only because of her cute face, but also because she has witnessed her own growth arc with everyone along the way.
As an "ordinary girl" who came out of a small town, she encountered various difficulties on the way to pursue her dreams, and there were even obstacles that seemed difficult to overcome, but Tan Songyun silently resolved them and finally achieved a gorgeous turn.
What is even more rare is that at a time when many people are keen to speculate on scandals and CPs to keep the popularity alive, as an actress from an idol school, Tan Songyun has become famous for nearly 10 years, but she has become a "fresh stream of domestic entertainment" ", there are few scandals.
During the filming of "The Best of Us", there were rumors of an affair between her and Liu Haoran. As the outside world's voices became more and more intense, the two had to deliberately avoid each other at the publicity conference, which led to the growing resentment and even an unhappy breakup. .
After that, Tan Songyun's scandals were very rare, and the few that were reported were all proven to be false.
For example, after her mother passed away, the first news she spread was that she had a dinner with actor Ou Hao. It was later confirmed that this happened before her mother's accident. The media took it out of context and deliberately misled the public.
At the beginning of last year, it was revealed that Tan Songyun secretly married a wealthy businessman. She had always been low-key and had to personally refute the rumors: "False!"
Many netizens who supported her also left messages: "She is not following the idol route, there is no reason. Hidden marriage! "
Indeed, Tan Songyun does not follow the idol route and only relies on her strength to speak. The character "Ji Xing" played in
's new work has transformed into an "urban beauty", and her relationship with Xu Kai is also full of CP.
But I believe this will not be the ceiling of Tan Songyun's performance, and she will bring you more surprises in the future.
Do you like her like this?
