How to evaluate Jiang Yiyan

I met Jiang for the first time on the 103010 reality show. In fact, Chen Qiaoen had heard of this girl before joining the project. During a dinner chat, she said to Jiang, "Before I came to this show, one day my circle of friends was swiped by the fact that you went to work as a volunteer teacher in a mountainous area for several years. I don't know you, but this incident touched me. It’s huge.”

Similarly, many people’s Moments have been flooded with news about Jiang Shou’s education.

Ten years ago, in 2007, Jiang shot a movie in a small mountain village in Bama County, Guangxi.

Seeing wild papaya growing on the tree, she casually asked the villagers: "Hey, why don't you eat it?" When she went to the village the next day, a pot of wild papaya was placed there.

She was hit in the heart.

At that time, the village was short of electricity and water, and young people went out to work. The old people could not speak Mandarin and were guarding a group of lonely and silent children. They are poor, weak, and inarticulate, but they express their feelings with their eyes, movements, and shy smiles.

That year, Jiang was 24 years old and had just burst into the audience's attention with the role of Zhou Meng, an innocent school girl in the TV series "Here We Come". Some people say she looks like Zhang Ziyi, while others say she looks like Angel and Huo Siyan.

According to the conventions of the entertainment industry, this girl’s career plan is about to fail.

However, she squandered her golden period.

Spend one month every year to teach in a mountain village; live a Sanmao-style wandering life, taking a camera to Africa to photograph animals and nature; publish a book, open the "Xiao Jiang's Time Slot" on the official WeChat account, I write novels and essays to share my life and feelings; I also make movies, but not frequently. The principle is not to repeat myself. Girls who have played cute and innocent roles will not take similar roles again, even if it is a drama that is destined to be a hit.

Being popular is the pursuit of almost all stars in the entertainment industry. She does not reject the "big money" life, but if the price affects her ability to live the life she wants, she would rather not live it.

“I don’t think this means anything to me. I am very emotional most of the time, but in this matter, I am still quite rational. I rationally feel that I will not be criticized because of my popularity. And I feel very happy. I feel that my happiness is not here, so I am willing to give it up and find what really makes me happy, so I have done many other things over the years.”

” So, does your agent often persuade you to take roles or participate in some popular shows?" I asked.

"Of course, for my colleagues, I believe everyone will try to convince me. A few years ago, I wrote a song called "Our Youth has Nowhere to Place". In fact, this song The title of the song is my catchphrase. They often tell me, 'Will you go to Jiang Yiyan? 'What do you want to shoot?' People often laugh at me." After it was over, I went to listen to the song "Our Youth Has Nowhere to Place". The lyrics are like this:

I don’t want to be obedient, cater to you, and cry secretly when I get home.

The world is very strange, there are too many philosophies, I don’t care, I just do myself.

For a moment, I thought of her play "I Don't" a few years ago. Everyone thought she was a cute July girl with a gentle and peaceful appearance, but she knew that she was more like a rebellious Ansheng, who loved and lived happily and pursued freedom persistently, no matter what others said.

"I Don't"

Jiang was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. It is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River. When she was a child, she often lay on the windowsill in a daze, or she would sit on a small bench in front of her house and watch the rain all day long. Probably because I have been in such a quiet and lonely state since childhood. When I grow up, I often don’t know how to deal with interpersonal relationships, and even have crowd phobia.

So she is instinctively close to children, animals and nature.

This can be seen in her photos.

Your beauty will never be lost because of the poverty around you. ——Photographed in Africa

Jiang was selected as a work in "July and Ansheng" - If so, this is the way home.

The World - footage was shot in Canada.

Jiang’s mother is a photographer and takes pictures of tourists in the park. Under the influence of her mother, she has been interested in photography since she was a child. In the third grade of elementary school, she began to study photography with Dong Jiancheng, the master of Hasselblad photography.

When she was twelve or thirteen years old, her photography teacher gave her a book by Sanmao. "Before I read this book, I was a little girl with a dream, but it was quite restricted. But when I saw San Mao, I realized that people are not wrong, and neither are your dreams."

In 2015, Jiang won the "China Collection Award" in the China Division of the "National Geographic" Global Photography Competition.

Because of Sanmao, she fell in love with traveling. When she's not filming or teaching, she travels the world with her camera, capturing the beauty she admires.

“I think photography will make me calm down and look at the world. With this patience, I have a mood to discover beauty and want to keep it. I think beauty is a very good thing "Photography makes me love beauty more."

On the day of the interview, she was on the road. “Taking advantage of the summer vacation, yes, I also have a summer vacation (laughs).

I would say it’s hot in the summer and I haven’t made many movies. I was able to use this time to walk around and take some photos. "

The place she has been to the most is Africa. She has a strange sense of familiarity and intimacy with Africa, as if she belonged to that land in her previous life.

"My temperament is The kind in Africa is where nature can communicate with all people without restraint, including flowers and grass. All animals communicate without problems and all animals are in special harmony. ”

There are also dangerous times.

For example, when photographing volcanoes. Someone told her that last year, terrorists killed seven French people who came here to take pictures. After hearing this, she Determined to go. She went to an uninhabited area where the temperature was over 60 degrees. She slept on volcanic rocks and her skin was burned.

"The photo later showed only red and black. It means adventure and dilemma."

Later, she became the charity ambassador of the African Wild Rescue Organization. Because she loves Africa, So she not only wants to enjoy the scenery of Africa, but also try her best to protect Africa.

She can sleep next to the lions in the tent without being afraid; feed the rhinoceros water; Observe animals from a perspective rather than a superior attitude; she said to the founder of Wild Rescue: “I have a power, and I am willing to be your volunteer forever as long as you need it. ”

She has a sense of awe and responsibility in her heart.

The same applies to filming.

“I used to have a playful mentality when filming, and almost every film I have to change every role, so I have acted in many horror films, and then I have played scheming girls, innocent girls, and also crazy and neurotic ones.

Now I feel a little more responsible. Next, I hope that making some movies will be beneficial to the audience and society, so that everyone can find many good directions and goals in life while watching movies. . As a filmmaker, I very much hope that the job of making movies can be regarded as a duty that benefits all sentient beings. ”

Some negative news related to Jiang Yiyan will also be circulated in the news media or on the Internet. What is often heard is that Jiang Yiyan’s scandal with Deng Chao and her teaching support behavior are just for show.

She rarely jumps out to argue for herself.

“I once saw an interview with Yu Guangzhong, and someone asked him, why don’t you respond when someone finds fault with you every day. Then Yu Guangzhong was silent for a moment and said, if someone scolds me every day, it means that he can't live without me, and if I don't respond, it means that I can live without him.

Someone asked Wen Zhongzi why he stopped slandering and said that there was no defense. I think this is actually the truth. So I may still have this mentality, that is, I live my life based on what everyone says, because other people’s opinions have nothing to do with my life.

It’s not that I don’t respond, or that I must endure humiliation or something like that. I think sometimes it’s just about accepting it calmly after understanding some truths. Look at everything with a smile, sometimes it just feels funny. ”

Let’s talk about supporting education first.

When celebrities do charity, most of them directly donate money, or spend a few hours or a day or two to go to the scene to take photos to attract attention.

Jiang Yiyan has been teaching for ten years. She has mysophobia, but when there was a drought in the small mountain village, the children had not washed their faces for more than a week, and had not touched any water except for drinks, so they had bruises around their noses. It was dark. Jiang Yiyan washed her child's face first. After cleaning it, she found that she couldn't wash it. When the conditions were difficult, she tried her best not to wash her face to save water.

Because of her work, she couldn't wash her face. I can’t fix my teaching time. Sometimes when I go to the mountains, I have no place to live, so I have to share a bed with other female teachers.

“I think the mountainous area is definitely a place to cure my mysophobia, so sometimes you will. Know that people are omnipotent in this matter, so don’t draw any conclusions for yourself. I just feel like I can’t adapt to this or do that. In fact, people are capable of anything. You have to have the courage and dare to do it. ”

One year she went to the mountains in the spring. Because of the season, many children got sick. Jiang Yiyan’s own resistance was relatively weak and she was also infected with a cold. Her throat was very uncomfortable, but She still insisted on attending classes every day.

Before leaving, she managed to finish the last dance class, almost mutely speaking, dancing and dancing to the children. When she returned to the county town, she could not pronounce a single sound. When she came out, she thought she could no longer speak at all.

If she had not really spent time with the children, she would not have been able to tell the media every detail about her stay in the mountainous area. The characteristic of a child is that she calmly answered the reporters’ questions.

Let’s talk about the scandal again.

She and Deng Chao have been friends for many years, and more than 10 people were at her dinner party. After dinner at home, Deng Chao needed to leave first. Jiang Yiyan went out to see off guests, followed by her assistant. However, the paparazzi outside the door deliberately kept the assistant out of the camera, and only Jiang Yiyan and Deng Chao appeared in the photo. The title is "Deng Chao meets Jiang Yiyan at night"

Jiang Yiyan participated in the "Running Man" program

The more the news became, the more real it became.

She also felt that the world was in the end. What's wrong? Why do I keep being consumed?

In an interview a few years ago, she mentioned that she had also thought about quitting the entertainment industry because she felt that many of her qualities were not suitable for this industry. Later, she looked away -

"If she can't persevere, it's actually because she's not clear-headed and determined enough. If she's clear-headed and determined enough, there's nothing that can't be done. Because in fact, anything The problems in the industry are the same. If you can be in this industry, you can also be in other places. If you can be a good actor, you can also be a mother, a wife, and a daughter. I believe. It’s the same.

Because people actually face various difficulties every day, either from the world or from their own hearts. We move forward like warriors and finally reach the true realm of our hearts. You should turn all the ups and downs into the greatest practice in your life. I think you should treat these things as interesting things, not necessarily as difficulties."

Calm and peace are the things she mentioned in this interview. The most words.

Her rebellion slowly turned into a gentle determination.

I used to like reading rebellious novels, but now I am more inclined to read books that make me feel calm. "For example, Lin Qingxuan, I've been reading his new book recently. The whole book and the prose are all about regret. I think this means facing calmly after understanding many things in the world, and you will not be so perfectionistic. No matter what. I think it will make you see the world more peacefully.”

In addition to post-rock and coldplay, the music I listen to more is Buddhist music, spiritual music and face-building music. , "This kind of music can make your face more peaceful and relaxed, which is actually quite good."

The ideal love state is to go wandering holding hands with the person you like, and you can live together In the forest, living a very simple life does not require any spectacular plot.

She is also very self-disciplined in her daily life. She often closes her circle of friends and even throws her phone aside, completely returning to the living conditions of the ancients, "the state of being in the forest with no signal."

It is difficult to control herself, but she will still work hard Tell yourself to reflect every day, "I also read the book "Self-Control"."

Another big change is that she slowly came out of her lonely and closed state and enjoyed the experience of making friends. , have the courage to try things that you have refused before.

For example, she went on reality shows, "Running Man" and "Here We Come".

“I chose to be on a reality show because I have a very good friend who was the assistant director of my first movie. He told me that he had watched the first season of “Here We Come”. program, he thinks this program is very suitable for me among reality shows, and he feels that my feelings in life are actually not known by many viewers. I should let more people see Jiang Yiyan’s feelings under the screen. I think he It makes sense.

Because people are of different ages and times, you still want to try new things. This kind of thing will bring you a lot of freshness and make you progress. , I think this is a way for each of us to see the world, but after I have done it, I will choose to say, eh, do I want to do this in the future? But if I had not done it, I would not do it at all. Know what it is."

Because of participating in the reality show, she met more good friends, such as Xie Na and Chen Qiaoen.

"They also like me very much. I can also see in them feelings and expressions that are completely different from mine, but they are the same inside. There are a lot of soft things on the ground, so I think it’s pretty good.

I think because of these changes, I have become more and more fond of making friends in the past few years. I like having everyone at home with me. Crazy fun. I may be quiet more often, but sometimes I can be crazy when I am with friends I trust very much."

She answered with a smile, her voice still soft and gentle, with a sense of carelessness. Lazy and charming.

Reading at Ten O’clock X Jiang Yiyan

Q1: Huang Bo said that you have done almost everything that a literary youth should do. Outsiders have labeled you an artistic young woman. What kind of person do you think you are? Is there a side that everyone is unfamiliar with?

A: Speaking of what kind of person I think I am, I think I have a rich personality and I have a lot of problems. I think I have procrastination and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

For example, the first thing I do when I get up in the morning is to find a rubber band and tie my hair up so that I can wash my face. If I never find this rubber band, I will never wash my face. (Laughs) So I'm often late because I'm always looking for rubber bands.

I think this kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder comes from my own perfectionism about many things. It is quite a perverted perfectionism, that is, I must do this thing well before doing the next thing. But as you grow up, you will also find that it is actually not easy to be perfect for everything and everyone in this world. So learn to accept imperfection and balance it.

Q2: After acting in so many dramas, which role do you spend the most time and energy trying to figure out? What is the biggest difficulty you encounter while performing?

A: If it takes longer, it is still in "Nanjing!" Nanjing! ", because the entire shooting span was relatively long, and when she was playing this role, the whole way the dancer Xiao Jiang shot the film was also very realistic and very documentary-like. You have to completely throw yourself into an environment and let yourself be completely Believe in the environment, believe in the events at the time, and believe in yourself as this character. Because the subject matter is quite special, the preparation process should be very unforgettable.

"Nanjing!" Nanjing! 》Stills

I remember that I was often so tired that I would not take off my makeup right after filming. I would go back to the room, fall on the bed, and sleep until the next day. Because it just feels like my mind has been completely emptied out.

Recently, I finished acting in a movie with teacher Duan Yihong. It was also quite literary and the role was quite special. I feel like I can't breathe after every performance, because actors are sometimes like photographers who take photos. When you are particularly focused, you don't breathe. You hold your breath from the inside, so that The process requires absolute extreme concentration and is very hard work.

Q3: Chen Daoming wrote in your book: Many actors go to great lengths to beautify themselves, but I would rather you spend more time cultivating your talents. After seeing this sentence, I feel that Teacher Chen Daoming is still like the father in the play, caring and looking forward to you. Is there any pressure to act with him? After playing "Our Youth Has Nowhere to Place", will he still give you advice and help on life and acting like a teacher?

A: Mr. Chen actually lives a very low-key life. He has the same views and methods as me on many things, so I can understand what he said. Of course, as I grow up, I will definitely make mistakes and I will not understand. Teacher Chen will give me a lot of advice and guidance, and I will slowly understand.

So I think this mentor will always be there. Maybe occasionally I will send him a WeChat message and ask him what I should do about this matter. Then I will occasionally receive a WeChat message from him saying, Whatever interview he sees, he will tell me if he thinks it is good or bad.

Chen Daoming Jiang Yiyan

Q4: You have always been the idol of many people. I want to know if you have an idol of your own? What do you like about him?

A: I have had different idols in different periods. They may be writers, photographers, actors, singers, or people who are completely different from this circle.

I once liked a female artist, Wang Xiaohui, because I have read her books and I think her life is very interesting and she can face the great difficulties in life very optimistically. In fact, the women I like are basically very soft and beautiful on the outside, but very tough and individual on the inside.

Q5: Do you plan to do this for the rest of your life?

A: Regarding the matter of supporting education, I have never thought about such a serious issue. Maybe I am more emotional most of the time. I feel that when I have the ability, I will do my best. I will not set a lifelong goal for myself, talk big words, or deliberately work hard for this. No. I think it’s better to follow your heart and do more. If I can’t do it, I might ask more people to do it. I think there are many methods, but the important thing is that you are absolutely sincere and sincere when you do it.

Q6: You once said that love ranks first in your life. Is this still the case now?

A: I think love is definitely the most important thing to me (laughs). Well, I am a very emotional person who can live for love, so I always feel that I am free and unconstrained in love. I think it must be someone who is highly consistent with my soul and can completely match what I like.

Q7: If you use an animal to describe yourself, which one do you think you are more like?

A: In fact, I feel like many small animals. For a while, I felt like I was particularly like a test animal. Hey, the kind that hangs on a tree. For a while, I felt like a cat, always likes to curl up in the corner where others can't see it. Now I feel like a deer, very sensitive and looking at the world curiously. Very sensitive, jumping and running very fast.

Q8: You have your own public account, do you usually follow some public accounts? Which official account do you often read?

A: I will follow teachers like Zhang Xiaoxian and some functional public accounts, such as beauty, fashion, and English. Of course, I will also read some articles that are really articles. I think these things, such as spirituality and travel, touch me more and are closer to my life. So if you want to watch this kind of thing, you can also follow "Xiaojiang's Time Gap", which is my official account.
