Among the writers who adapt literary works into film and television dramas, Qiong Yao is the most special existence.
She has many works, whether it is costume drama, period drama or modern drama, it is adapted into a film and television drama by her hands. While providing excellent works, it also provides a large number of outstanding actors to the entertainment industry.
In the early years, there were Yue Ling , Yu Xiaofan , Liu Xuehua , etc. Later, the younger generation had Jiang Qinqin , Zhao Wei, Ruby Lin , etc. They were collectively called "Qiongirl".
Qiong girls have several common characteristics: outstanding appearance, naturally beautiful, gentle and charming when they smile, and charming when they cry.
Among all the Qiong girls, there is one of the most special ones, that is Chen Derong .
other Qiong girls were all arranged to appear in film and television dramas after Qiong Yao was attracted by Qiong Yao. Chen Derong waited for her for four years before signing her, and she was the leading female lead.
" Plum Blossoms ", "Three Plum Blossoms in the Water and Clouds", "A Curtain of Dreams" and other famous works of Qiong Yao are all eternal classics in the hearts of the audience.
Unfortunately, Chen Derong is also the heroine with the shortest flowering period among all Qiong girls, so she has no scenes to shoot under 40 years old.
01
No one would have thought that Chen Derong, who looked cute as pink and jade, was not happy in childhood when she was a child.
In 1974, in Taipei City, Taiwan Province, Chen Derong was born. His parents named her Derong in hope that she would be both virtuous and talented and have a lovely appearance.
When she was a child, Chen Derong had a pink face, big eyes, a cherry mouth, and fair skin. Especially her natural double eyelids were particularly beautiful.
Of course, beauty is not a pass for unimpeded travel, but instead brings trouble to Chen Derong.
Chen Derong is cheerful and speaks quickly. He often gets along with his classmates at school, and some female classmates are jealous of her and say she is showing off.
In order not to let people gossip, Chen Derong dared not have too much contact with male classmates again.
She is alone every day, going to and from school alone, and her classmates say she has an ice-shaped face.
The world of children is simple and cruel. Chen Derong was isolated by her classmates. She has become introverted since then and can't be happy no matter how she is. She is often cautious in school.
Fortunately, Chen Derong soon no longer needs to spend time with his classmates and he doesn't need to pay attention to them.
One day in 1983, my mother took Chen Derong to the photo studio to wash photos. When the boss saw that the little girl looked so beautiful, he asked Chen’s mother to wash another set of photos and put them in the window of the photo studio as an advertisement.
is a few photos in this window that were discovered by the star spy at that time.
They found Chen’s mother and wanted to sign Chen Derong as a child model to shoot an advertisement.
Mom is worried that these people are liars, and at the same time, she is afraid that her daughter will not be able to adapt to those shooting work. She hopes that the child will focus on learning.
This time, Chen's mother did not accept the olive branch extended by the scout, but waited until three years later that Chen Derong officially signed the contract with the advertising company. After signing the contract with
, the first advertising film made by Chen Derong was the big brand Shiseido .
Girls love beauty. Chen Derong can wear beautiful clothes, put on makeup, and take beautiful photos when shooting advertisements. She is particularly adaptable to this kind of life.
Chen Derong, who performed well in advertising, attracted the attention of someone, she is the godmother of Taiwanese romance Qiong Yao.
Chen Derong in Qiong Yao's eyes, her nose bridge is high and straight, her facial features are three-dimensional, her lips are red without drawing, and her eyebrows are black without drawing, especially her cherry mouth and a little slightly raised chin. She is a perfect beauty no matter how you look at it.
Qiong Yao immediately contacted Chen's mother and wanted to sign Chen Derong to film.
Chen's mother rejected Qiong Yao's invitation on the grounds that her daughter was still young and wanted to go to school.
Unexpectedly, Qiong Yao put down her words, "I am willing to wait for her to grow up. In a few years, I must let her be my heroine."
Qiong Yao waited for four years.

At that time, the film and television production company wanted to sign a contract with Chen Derong, in addition to Qiong Yao, there was also Hong Kong's Run Run Shaw .
Run Run Shaw and his wife also think that Chen Derong is a rare newcomer and a charming talent. If they can sign a contract with their company, they will definitely become a dazzling movie star in time.
1989, Run Run Shaw's side threw out their conditions.
If you sign the contract, you will take Chen Derong to Hong Kong to go to school. The company will bear all her tuition and living expenses, and will also ask someone to take care of her.
Mother Chen was relieved.
So in 1990, Chen's mother signed Chen Derong's movies with Run Run Shaw's company, and at the same time signed Chen Derong's TV series agent with Qiong Yao's company.
Hong Kong and Taiwan, movies and TV series are two-pronged, and Chen Derong ushered in the peak of his career as soon as he debuted.
"Plum Blossom" is Qiong Yao's famous work. The heroine Bai Yinshuang , beautiful, gentle, kind, and tenacious. It is not an exaggeration to stack all the beautiful adjectives in the world on her.
This character is loved by book fans, Qiong Yao gave her to Chen Derong.
Chen Derong did not disappoint her expectations. Under the guidance of her performance teacher, she found her feelings little by little. At the same time, she memorized the long lines in the play with great effort.
In the industry, everyone knows that Qiong Yao has very strict requirements for lines. As long as she acts in her play, no word of the lines can be changed, and she must be said as it is.
Chen Derongsheng is young and has strong learning ability. She interprets the role of Bai Yinshuang so much that I feel sorry for her.
Then Qiong Yao started filming "Three Rhymes of Plum Blossoms: Water and Clouds".
Although there is the mainland's number one beauty in this drama Chen Hong , Chen Hong is also a bit inferior in front of Chen Derong, who is naturally beautiful.
Qiong Yao's several dramas were so successful, she simply made a concerted effort to film another famous work of her, "A Curtain of Dreams".
The male protagonists in this drama include Liu Dekai and Lin Ruiyang . At that time, Lin Ruiyang was still a young boy and did not look like he had a steamed bun later.
The heroines include Chen Derong and Xiao Qiang . Xiao Qiang plays his sister Luping , and Chen Derong plays his sister Ziling.
Xiao Qiang is known as the title of No. 1 Beauty in Taiwan. She is six years older than Chen Derong.
Although Xiao Qiang is also beautiful, no matter how beautiful she is, she cannot beat youth.
In this drama, Xiao Qiang's appearance was also compared by Chen Derong, who was a few years younger.
Of course, no one can surpass Chen Derong's version of Ziling.
Qiong Yao's TV series has very strong star-making ability, and many people have become famous and popular through her works. With the blessing of several of her dramas, Chen Derong quickly became a dazzling new star in the entertainment industry.
In the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, Chen Derong's name is well-known. After
, Chen Derong also filmed many films and TV series such as "Shi Gong Case", "Swordsman", "Hidden Proud Wanderer", " Taizu Secret History ", and "The Two Sexes".
It is this "The Two Sexys" that has made Chen Derong's acting career decline.

"The Twins" is a costume drama aired in 1999, with Chen Derong playing the female lead Tie Xinlan.
This year, Chen Derong was 25 years old. It was originally in my youth, and my age and acting were the best time.
However, when the show was broadcast, everyone's focus was on the two male stars, Jimmy Lin and Su Youpeng.
Originally, these two male stars were both baby faces, and they still looked like college students for many years. They were very resistant to aging.
Chen Derong and Lin Zhiying were one year younger than Su Youpeng. But in the play, she and the two male protagonists do not seem to match very well.
Chen Derong is also a baby face, but the collagen on his face is lost, so apple muscle is a bit abrupt, making him look older.
After "The Two Sexes", Chen Derong starred in "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" and played the junior sister Yue Lingshan.
At the same time, she starred in " New Shushan Swordsman " and played the role of Yaochi Fairy .
. Chen Derong collaborated with the popular young actor Richie Richie at the time, as well as Li Liqun Ma Jingtao and others.
is both famous works by famous artists, and the acting skills of the actors they collaborate on are beyond words, but these dramas have never allowed Chen Derong to stay at the peak.
Later in an interview, Chen Derong said that she had had enough of those crying characters. When she received the script of " Grab the Big Shanghai ", she signed a contract without even watching it.
In "Step the Beach in Shanghai", Chen Derong plays a businesswoman. She expects to change her image based on this role and not let the audience always see her crying in different dramas.
Who knew that this drama was silent again when it was broadcast.
Then, Chen Derong participated in many film and television dramas such as "The Legend of the Twelve Zodiacs", " Broken Arrow ", and "Marry You in the Next Life".
Not to mention that the production team of these dramas will not be popular. Just Chen Derong's identity has gradually become a supporting role from the previous absolute female lead. After she couldn't play the leading role in the female role, Chen Derong was very strict about taking on the role. Most of the roles she took on were period dramas and costume dramas, so that she did not want to play the role of a mother.
In an interview, Chen Derong said bluntly, saying, "I don't want to play other people's mother. If I take care of myself so well and still have to play the child's mother, I will never accept such a role."
people's appearance is better maintained, No matter how developed the technology is, it cannot resist the natural laws. Aging is one of the natural laws that everyone has to face.
There are actually many roles that actresses can present after the age of 40. Even if they are mother roles that Chen Derong looks down on, there are many of them, and they must have certain experience and life experience to better present them.
If you have to worry about playing only the young and beautiful female lead, you will not be embarrassed if you act by yourself, and the audience will also be embarrassed if you watch it.
But for Chen Derong, she would rather have nothing than be too much.
At the end of 2020, Chen Derong participated in the acting variety show " I Am an Actor ". In the
program, Chen Derong and young actor Zhang Meng performed together. The guest Yu Zheng pointed out very bluntly that there was something wrong with her acting style, her expression was too exaggerated and too superficial, which was far behind Zhang Meng on the side.
Chen Derong said in the background very dissatisfied, "Everyone has his own way of interpreting the role. I don't think there is any problem with my acting style."
and as for being unwilling to play the role of a mother, the guest Hao Lei is also very frank. "Actors should play the role of what age and status they are.
If they are still obsessed with playing girls in their 40s, what role will real girls play?"
Chen Derong disagreed and said with a lip voice "Playing a baby."
Chen Derong was able to participate in "I Am an Actor" because he hoped that he would become popular again through the show or receive some work.
And her performance in the show not only did not conquer the audience with her acting skills, but instead left a very bad impression because of her prudence and bad temper.
However, what made the audience very curious is how Chen Derong, who resists the role of mother, is like this?

Actually, as early as 1997, when Chen Derong was 23 years old, she met Wang Wenshan, the president of Taiwan United Daily News, and the two fell in love.
Wang Wenshan came back from college from the United States and worked directly in the newspaper office, which can be regarded as a half-cultural person.
But in his interactions with Chen Derong, the differences in the two people's personalities were exposed bit by bit.
Chen Derong looks weak and has a bit of a stingy personality. He speaks like a machine gun and gives people no room for a reply.
Many rich people are looking for female celebrities to fall in love with, but they are nothing more than the fame and appearance of female celebrities, and their ability to provide emotional value.
The two of them are often busy meeting each other and are unwilling to compromise for each other when they meet. The conflicts naturally cannot be reconciled.
In the third year when Chen Derong and Wang Wenshan fell in love, both of them felt that there was no need to continue, so they broke up peacefully.
After breaking up, Chen Derong met his elementary school classmate Wang Zance .
Wang Zance was deeply impressed by Chen Derong because she was beautiful and the most eye-catching among the crowd.
However, Chen Derong had no impression of this classmate at all. She still heard her mother talk about it and barely recalled some things from her childhood.
However, the reunion of old friends allowed Chen Derong to find his youthful state again.
She and Wang Zance held a wedding in February 2011.
Wang Zance is a real estate businessman. He often needs to travel around when working. Chen Derong rarely goes home for filming for a long time. After the two get married, they are always together.
Wang Zance cared about Chen Derong very much. On Chen Derong's 38th birthday, he flew from Taiwan to the mainland and presented a jade necklace worth over one million to celebrate Chen Derong's birthday.
Speaking of Wang Zance, Chen Derong repeatedly described him as "a very nice person and gentle person, and very tolerant to me."
However, such feelings cannot compete with reality after all.
In August 2019, Chen Derong and Wang Zance signed and officially divorced.
As for the reasons for the divorce, Chen Derong did not disclose too much. Her official answer was nothing more than a universal sentence such as separation and disagreement.
Since withdrawing from the "I Am an Actor" program in 2020, Chen Derong has not participated in new film and television works. She occasionally appears to stand up for some cosmetics companies.
htmlOn August 30, Chen Derong participated in a fashion event of a certain brand. She looked in a good mood in a red and black floral dress., but it also makes the audience sigh: the beauty is old.
48-year-old Chen Derong, judging from her current state, is also the state and appearance that she should have at this age.
is just a pity. Like big S, she would rather not have a movie than play the role of a mother.
Editor's comment:
Chen Derong's current situation is a microcosm of many Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities who became popular early.
30 years ago, the mainland film and television industry was underdeveloped, and film and television dramas and actors from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and other places quickly became popular in the mainland and gained the dividends of the times.
The mainland film and television industry has risen rapidly in recent years, and the audience's aesthetics and appreciation levels have long been keeping pace with the times, and they know what a truly good performance is.
It’s just a pity that the audience is improving, but some actors have been standing still. If a character is still an old routine and old method, it is not enough to impress people.
, don’t blame the audience for not loving to watch them.
like Xi Meijuan Liu Xuehua and other older generation actors have been playing mother roles since they were very young. They use one role after another to impress the audience and leave classics.
This is why the audience really loves performance and it is also why they like them.
