In March last year, Zhang Jingchu was admitted to the Directing Department of the American Film Institute (AFI) and officially became an American film student (a joking name for international students). Since then, Zhang Jingchu began to share her study abroad career online, and her personal saying "You will have age anxiety if you stop growing up" became popular.
What Zhang Jingchu does most often is to write homework immersed in the live broadcast room, from morning to night, getting up early and working late at night, focusing on a long standby time. Before the student party got up, Zhang Jingchu started doing homework. The migrant workers had already fallen asleep, and Zhang Jingchu was still writing furiously.
Unlike some celebrities who put on airs and sell their personas, Zhang Jingchu is a real person. There is no fancy stationery, no exquisite makeup, no interactive chatter, more than ten hours of non-stop writing, and occasionally being silly. From being full of energy and smiling, to describing being haggard and having greasy hair, I am no different from every college student who is driven crazy by deadlines. Netizens exclaimed: When I see her doing her homework, she looks like she is looking in the mirror!
Let's have fun and make trouble, don't take graduate school as a joke. Why does she have to work hard to live broadcast? Because I really can’t finish my homework! In order to catch up on her homework, Zhang Jingchu only slept 4 hours a day for 3 days in a row, until she couldn't bear it anymore on the fourth night. She said: "I gave up, it's impossible to finish writing."
Zhang Jingchu has gone from being the "goddess of literary and artistic films" back then. "Xiao Zhang Ziyi" has become everyone's study partner and "the god of IELTS people". Once upon a time, Zhang Jingchu's screen image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Her representative works include "Peacock", "The Disciple", "Tangshan Earthquake" and so on. But she is also the "queen of topics" among many people. She has been the subject of pornographic rumors and scandals for a long time, and she was once on the verge of depression.
Later, Zhang Jingchu chose to quit and went to the United States for further study. Studying, exercising, making films, chasing dreams, facing the busy and tiring life of studying abroad, Zhang Jingchu wanted to give up countless times, but in the end she encouraged herself, "Since it is your choice, you must persevere."
Seeing Zhang Jingchu working so hard , netizens are not calm anymore. Some people say: Female stars have become schoolgirls, which is quite down-to-earth. Some people disagreed and asked her why she was always wheezing. Is her mental state okay? There are also many people who appreciate her extreme self-discipline, saying that the better the person is, the harder they work, and they look forward to her works after graduation.
believes that there are no limits in life, which makes Zhang Jingchu a "clear stream" in domestic entertainment. If it was popular in the entertainment industry to have (real) academic qualifications, wouldn't it be good to have more knowledgeable and thoughtful celebrities and fewer "nine-year compulsory education"? For individuals, only by persisting in lifelong learning can life have unlimited possibilities.
