Can Zhang Xinyi, who was blacked out by divorce, turn over by Miss Puffs？
Special feature of 1905 film network If we want to talk about female artists from the second half of 2017 to 2018, Zhang Xinyi is definitely indispensable.
In just half a year, this female artist, who has been haunted by the topic of "divorce and plastic surgery", shook the lice on her shirt and did several impressive things.
First, in August 2017, it was reported that Zhang Xinyi supported the filming of the documentary out of his own pocket.
This documentary about comfort women, with personal experience, puts that gray history on the table. The film met with financial difficulties at the early stage of filming. When the director Guo Ke went to the crew to find Zhang Xinyi with a bag on his back, she passed on the 1 million yuan she just got without saying anything.
During the production period of the following years, she has been communicating with Guo Ke about the shooting. Even for "Twenty-two", I postponed the release of my new film.
In the future, Zhang Xinyi was asked countless times why she helped Twenty-two, and her answer was always only one: "I think Guo Ke did a great and very correct thing. Without him and Twenty-two, no one would know that war has brought such great trauma to women and children."
Whether an actress’s original intention of funding a small-budget film matches her declared purity is a matter of weight.
Of course, "Twenty-two" also brought more attention to Zhang Xinyi, besides "cosmetic surgery and scandal".
On January 6, 2018, Hunan Satellite TV’s program "Sound in the Surroundings" was launched to test the voice of actors. Zhang Xinyi, who fell into a voice because of fatigue, voiced a segment of Hua Fei in Empresses in the Palace, which made people shine at the moment.
The comments of netizens are basically "I thought I was playing the original soundtrack of a TV series", "Zhang Xinyi made a big impression on me" and "her strength was underestimated".
The appearance of the variety show also attracted Cai Yin Shanshan, a Chinese opera teacher, to recall that year, "Li Guangjie, Edward Zhang, Shen Jiani and Zhang Xinyi were among the most discussed undergraduates, and everyone was eager to see their plays in the theater".
In fact, in her early works, such as Give me a cigarette, Love is a happy bullet, Legend of the Wind, etc., she has interpreted the women who have been wandering in love, the young women in the county who lost the college entrance examination, and the smart and beautiful female spy, proving that she is not a vase.

And the role of Lin Xia in Beijing Love Story brought her the title of "Sister 2" because she was "pitiful, lovely and distressing".

Some people say that "Coming to the Sound" shows us an "actor Zhang Xinyi", and the market owes her a good role to show her strength. She has been debuting for more than ten years and heard jokes. There are too many people in the market. Being a star needs luck and being an actor needs business.
Indeed, this is a passive profession. Zhang Xinyi was obviously tired of waiting and decided to take the initiative, remake the animation and become a film director.
The film tells the story of Miss puffs (Zhang Xinyi), a returnee, who meets a takeaway brother (Ahu、Yue) at a party and starts a crazy pursuit.
The two people who didn’t meet each other unexpectedly "slept all night" and quickly got married, starting an exciting and romantic adventure.
Just looking at the plot, you can feel that the film has a kind of unconstrained imagination and a temperament of letting go of yourself.
And this story happened to Miss Puff is very similar to Zhang Xinyi’s own world outlook, love outlook and values.
First of all, this is a story of brother-sister love.
Since Zhang Xinyi married Justin, the label "Sister-in-law Love" has never left her. She is not only older than Yuan Hong, but also has rich emotional experience. Well-known, there are seven-year romance with WangZhifei and Yang Shupeng’s flash marriage.
Miss Puffs also tells the story of a sister-in-law relationship. However, what Zhang Xinyi wants to convey through the film is that in a "sister-in-law relationship", if a boy doesn’t care about your age and appearance, he really marries because he loves you, which is something worthy of praise.
Secondly, this is a story that transcends the status class.
In the movie, the love story between the overseas Chinese puffs and the takeaway brother broke through the pattern of "prince and princess" and crossed the status class and fell in love.
In fact, Zhang Xinyi met an earl’s daughter on a trip to Europe to record a program. She once stayed in Dali, Yunnan for three years. After learning her story, Zhang Xinyi turned to Lin Chi-ling and said that a girl like this needs nothing but a love affair with a poor boy.
The same is true of the love expressed in Miss Puffs, which encourages people to put aside worldly concerns and love each other bravely.
Miss Puff in the film is a very honest and frank and courageous person. Zhang Xinyi’s own personality, too.
Her brave personality has earned her a good popularity in the circle. This time, she also maxed out her personal card. Justin, Zhang Jingchu, Sitar tan, Rulu, Guo Jingfei, Crystal, Bao Beier, Yu Shasha, Qin Lan and other friends are almost ready to respond, and they all play for nothing.
Even Pu Shu, who has always been low-key, wrote a promotion song "Haohao" for "Sister 2", which instantly exploded the circle of friends.
Zhang Xinyi’s honest and frank has one saying and two saying. For example, if there is a role that Justin is interested in, even if he is only given three seconds in the end, Justin must come all the way to shoot it.
In addition to the fixed requirements for actors, Zhang Xinyi also invited Hou Yong (director) as a photographer and Shigeru Umebayashi (music composer) to compose music, which added points to the film.

At the previous premiere conference, after watching the film, Zhang Jiajia said: "The film is about Zhang Xinyi himself. Why is a girl so 2? Because there is a little girl living in her heart; The film is about a girl and the little girl who lives in her heart, taking a brave adventure together, and the process is full of kindness, warmth and love. "
It is not difficult to see that the story of Miss Puffs is basically the love in Zhang Xinyi’s mind, which is youth, hormones and impulsiveness, and the feeling that the best stage between men and women is infinitely magnified.
Tomorrow (February 9), this movie will officially land in the cinema. Whether this story of believing in love and sparing no effort to fight against fate can be recognized by everyone needs to be tested by the audience.
At present, Zhang Xinyi has already begun to prepare for the second director’s work, and it is also an anti-war film.
It seems that as a director, she is really not playing with tickets.
