Zhang Jingchu returns from her study tour to perform the return of true love (photo) (Reported by Yang Qiwei, Special Correspondent of the Alberta Times) We haven’t seen Zhang Jingchu on the screen for more than a year. Before, she was a prolific actress, often producing three or four works a year. After filming "Tangshan Earthquake", Zhang Jingchu's name disappeared from the screen. It was not until the filming of the new film "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" that Zhang Jingchu returned to the public eye. In the past year or so, she took a half-year vacation and went to New York to study and recharge. Zhang Jingchu, who returned from her study tour, is more intellectual and casual. She said in a recent interview with the media: "I stayed in New York for more than half a year. It is not really a study abroad. I just spent time there, went to some drama studios to study, and experienced different life experiences." Zhang Jingchu used this study tour experience as "recharge". She said: "This kind of short-term performance training course is very popular in the United States. It is called the 'Actor's Gym'. Many actors go to recharge their batteries when they are not filming, so as to continuously improve their acting skills. For example, through voice training, you can find the correct pronunciation method; the same is true for body classes, which help you understand your body. For example, when you feel pain in your neck, it is probably a problem in your crotch, and you can restore your health through correct physical training. " Zhang Jingchu, who made her debut in Gu Changwei's "Peacock", graduated from the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama, has repeatedly surprised the audience with her performances. Her subsequent films, "The Flowery Bride", "Tangshan Earthquake" and the co-productions "The Disciple" and "The Witness" have all impressed people. But precisely because of frequent work arrangements, Zhang Jingchu, who likes freedom, felt that she was really tired. Zhang Jingchu asked herself, what is the purpose of acting in so many dramas? Is it for fame and fortune? Is it to prove your worth? In fact, it's not the case. He frequently plays various roles just out of his love for acting. When a career is stable, it is often when problems accumulate. Zhang Jingchu resolutely chose this time to stop and give herself a half-year vacation to do what she wanted to do most. The film industry is developing rapidly and competition within the industry is becoming increasingly severe. Zhang Jingchu was asked more than once: Where did the courage come from after disappearing for half a year? Zhang Jingchu replied: "I just want to find my own rhythm. I will escape in a planned way, but at the same time I will maintain a rational rhythm. Of course, I can't disappear completely, otherwise the industry will forget me. The reality is so cruel, I must learn to face it and find a balance point." When talking about the experience of studying abroad for a year, Zhang Jingchu said gently: "My mind has calmed down, and I can independently find myself in a space that only belongs to me. Instead of like in China, there are a bunch of people taking care of me wherever I go, as if I will not live alone." Zhang Jingchu also said that the half year in New York was very pleasant, like a vacation, like a study tour, and like life. The apartment she lives in has no blackout curtains, and when the weather is nice, a faint light seeps in early in the morning. She gets up at around 6 a.m. and makes breakfast by herself every day, then cleans and goes for a run in the park. If there are classes in the morning, I go to class, then go out to bookstores, go to museums in the afternoon, and buy discount tickets to go to the theater in the evening. My life is very casual. She said this was the simple life she had always wanted. In the movie "Drunk Night", Zhang Jingchu plays "Tong Xin", a director's assistant who has to help the director deal with the "hidden rules" of his ex-girlfriend. Because he was drunk and "cut off the film", he had a one-night stand with Shawn Yue, a white-collar elite from Hong Kong who came to the mainland. After he sobered up, he was forced to In the process of searching for the lost luxury car and huge sum of money together, a series of absurd and bizarre events occurred: crazy frog licking, leading an alpaca. In a series of ridiculous experiences, the two people were mutually exclusive and finally attracted to each other, which triggered a very romantic love story. Zhang Jingchu very successfully played an urban white-collar worker who longs for the return of true love in the film. "Drunk Night", released on June 1, is the final chapter in the "4+1 Series" produced by Pang Haoxiang and co-directed by Hong Kong emerging directors Tsang Kwok-cheung and Yin Zhiwen. It is reported that Zeng Guoxiang, who is filming in the Mainland for the first time, specially spent time in Beijing to "experience life" in order to capture the authentic "night culture" of Beijing. The poster shows the madness of the two having a nightclub party, as well as the embarrassment and annoyance of the two sober-up actors. After waking up, how did Zhang Jingchu and Shawn Yue get to know each other in the process of searching for the truth about "Fragment", and how did they develop a strange love? We'll see!
