Post-60s attacker reading drama master and holding a lilac exhibition Zhou Danwei: I m curious and will no longer give me too much burden to my life

Editor's note: Actor and model Zhou Danwei, who studied Liuli in 2014, held her first exhibition "Zhou Danwei 2020 Ancient Flame Lilac Creation Exhibition" this year. She also studied in the cadet class of the Taiwan Art University Drama Research Institute, and has lived a busy life. Looking back on the first half of her life, she went through 14 times of artificial insemination and childbirth, failed marriages, investment failures and other difficulties, but she was just talking. After middle age, she continued to walk forward, chased her curious drama and glaze, and created her own strangeness.

In this world, artist Zhou Danwei is very busy.

On the one hand, her Glass Creation Exhibition opened on September 28. This is the first personal exhibition of Zhou Danwei since she learned Glass Creation, which has a great meaning to her. On the other hand, Zhou Danwei, who is studying the graduate class of the Taiwan Art University Drama Research Institute, wants to try several more classes before retiring at the school to choose the most suitable course.

The Best Actress Drama Master reads the book dream for his father

"I went to the director class a few days ago, and I also have a performance course, and I want to watch it." Hearing Zhou Danwei talked enthusiastically about the "addition and withdrawal" thing, giving people a "magic sense". She is 63 years old this year (2020), and has been in the acting circle for more than 40 years. Although there was a period of time in the middle that she faded out of the performance stage due to marriage, she was the one who won the Best Actress Award at the Asian Film Festival and was once known as the "No. 1 Model". She went to class to perform, and also attended classes with a group of young people of 20. What was Zhou Danwei thinking?

"I want to know what the "acting" work I have been going on all the way," she said, as she became a single actor and never understood the theory of performance. "I want to figure it out because I am curious."

In addition to trying to improve professionally, Zhou Danwei also revealed the secret hidden in her heart.

That year, she was forced to stop her studies at the School of Law and Business at Zhongxing University because of her work in the acting circle. It was not that Zhou Danwei could not study both academic and performance, but that the school did not allow her to appear in front of the light curtain. If she still wanted to work in the acting circle, she had to take a break, otherwise the school would drop out. "So I took a break, and I took a break for a few decades." Zhou Danwei said that her father once regretted that she did not graduate from college.

Although my father has passed away for 19 years, "I have always remembered his wish." When I returned to the campus to read the book, Zhou Danwei said that the dream of my father is a very important force.

I am here as a student! The essay "Good Woman" also compares the life of the heroine

In addition to being older than her classmates, Zhou Danwei has rich experience and qualifications in acting work and is the most special student in the class. It is hard for the well-known director Zhu Yanping to ask her in confusion. How can the teacher teach you?

How teachers should teach, but in fact, they have direct relationship with Zhou Danwei. She also knows that she has a different background from other classmates, so she requires herself to work harder than others, not to ask for fakes or hand in the work on time. As long as she has the opportunity to perform in the course, she does not have the airs of a big star and can play even the smallest role. What is her smallest character? She laughed and said, "It's the news!"

She thought that young people needed more performance opportunities, and what she needed was learning. She often reminds herself that she must be honest and never brings the attitude of the industry into it. "I am a student, I am here to learn."

It is interesting that the topic she reported during her period is "Analysis of the main characters of "Goodies in the World", analyzing the growth background of the heroine Ferry Li, the ups and downs of her acting career and the role of Scarlett, actually explains her role in being an actor: the life of an actress is like a movie!

The same is true for her own bittersweet and sweet life.

Visiting Liuli master Yasui to show his determination to be unrestrained

Taurus' personality gives Zhou Danwei a resolute character, which is even more obvious in Liuli's learning.

According to an accidental opportunity, she watched the exhibition of works by Japanese Liuli Master Yasuhi Kata. She was shocked at the scene and decided to study arts by her. But the teacher knew that Zhou Danwei was a big star and did not agree at the moment because he thought Zhou Danwei was too busy at work and would definitely not be able to continue learning. Zhou Danwei visited the teacher three times in a month. Finally, she told Anhui that as long as the teacher was willing to teach her, she promised not to take on any filming within one year and would focus on learning Liuli in this year.

Yasui Kata saw that Zhou Danwei was so determined, and finally agreed to accept her as his disciple. But at the beginning, Zhou Danwei didn't have the chance to actually do Liuli Creation. "Because I don't know anything, I can only stand by and watch," she said, and then sweep the ground, sort out the environment, and do something complicated. When she finally got to sit on the workplace, Zhou Danwei showed the energy of the creation explosion; her performance did not disappoint the teacher.

Since she started working in Liuli Creation in 2014, she has held 10 exhibitions with other creators. This year's exhibition is the 11th, but it is the first exhibition. It is also a creation by Zhou Danwei after merging East and West Glazing Art Art and aesthetics. It is very different from the works exhibited in the past..

Zhou Danwei followed the "Ancient Flame Lilac" created by Master Yani Kata. She said that the technique of ancient flame plating glass can be created by blowing glass at a temperature of up to 1200℃, and sculpting it simultaneously with hand sculptures, repeatedly blowing, zipping, squeezing, knocking, and opening. Only by creating a work can we use these complicated processes. Thank you, but worth it.

The mother left the world and lost her center of gravity and went to Italy to study Glass Blowing to find new energy

After chasing Master Yanjing's arts, Zhou Danwei's life was in trouble again. In 2016, her mother passed away. "My relationship with me is very good, as close as a sister." Zhou Danwei said that after her mother left, her life completely lost power, and she had no goals or focus in life. Her friends were worried that she would never recover from this, so she thought of using glass learning to boost her life, and introduced her to the Scuola del Vetro Abate Zanetti-Scuole Mestieri D’s Arte school to learn different glass blowing techniques.

At the beginning, she came to this school with the idea of "changing the environment to relax" with the kind advice of her friend. However, after coming, she realized that the free atmosphere here opened up her new creative artistic conception of glazed art. The Japanese teacher talked about the rules and certain procedures, but the Italian teacher told her: "Follow your heart, do whatever you want!" Since then, she fell in love with the Italian learning environment and went to study every year.

Losing a mother is a major loss in Zhou Danwei's life, but she stepped out of her tragedy and absorbed European arts, which gave Liuli's learning and creation a different look.

Cancer cancer, marriage change… I was very hard in the first half of my life, but fortunately my friend supported me

Just like a creation, Zhou Danwei's life was actually not easy at all.

She had experienced 14 artificial insemination and failed to seek a child. Unexpectedly, she encountered an affair with her ex-husband and suffered a major blow. She recalled that time, like a tragic mortal, not contacting anyone, "In the room, it was hot outside for 30 degrees, and she felt that her body was cold at noon." After that, she suffered from breast cancer again. Because her family's cancer history made her particularly sensitive to cancer, she still couldn't make up for her investment in R&D expenses of angelica biotechnology.

This difficult road, the power to accompany her is faith and friends, and I feel that I am still loved. My friend felt sorry for Zhou Danwei's misfortune. She said in a verbal voice: "Oh, my first half of my life is just a word, stupid!"

She was too hard in everything, so she also endured the price. However, as the great German writer Goethe said: "There is no one who cried for a long night, it is not worth living." Because he has suffered too much in the past, Zhou Danwei has completely different understandings and expectations for the future. "The most important thing is to have a healthy body and mind."

Don't give yourself too much time and ability after 50, just do it.

For health, Zhou Danwei is very self-disciplined in diet and is cautious about her sensitive body eating. For example, on this day of visit, she does not drink coffee and tea, but only drinks warm water; secondly, she believes that keeping warm is important at the same time, "especially now that the sun is already in autumn, you have to wear a coat after the sun goes down the mountain, don't be slouch." Zhou Danwei also suggested that in this season, you must wear a sack when sleeping. "Her experience is that when the feet are warm, the body is warmer, and when the body is warm, it is less likely to get sick.

And in maintaining mental health, Zhou Danwei reminds herself not to be so obsessed! This is a big challenge for her personality. "I am born to be a very solid and persistent person, and this puts a lot of pressure on myself and others."

Zhou Danwei believes that not giving her too much burden is an important lesson after 50s. Her new life attitude is "everything must be measured by time" and "measure ability". Don’t answer or put it on your own. Life is limited, don’t always turn it over in “unfulfilled promises”.

In addition, she suggested not to do things and work that she was not familiar with at all, and to carefully consider how much "credit" she could earn because she didn't understand or understand? At this point in life, time and money can’t afford to waste. Therefore, of course, you should be extra cautious about the work or investment you want to invest.

There is only one secret to maintaining beauty: really need to pay attention to your emotions, Zhou Danwei said, that is even more impossible. "Don't think the other party will change for you," she said, this is impossible, unless you change it yourself, it will be a painful cycle! "But how much can you change? And how long can the change last?" Don't worry about yourself, Zhou Danwei said, let go of the unsuitable feelings!

As for how to maintain beautiful ethnic groups after 50? Zhou Danwei answered with a refreshing sentence: "Apply to your face!" No matter how busy she is, she will apply her face at least once every two days. "We are so old, the skin is easy to dry, and it will be stained and easily allergic. Moisturizing is the fundamental and most important thing!"

Therefore, Zhou Danwei, who returned to the campus with her ears and learned Liuli's creation, is not feeling unfaithful about her age. She just doesn't let her age become a learning limit, but she also really realizes that she has entered the second half of her life, so she strives to reduce the impact of her age on her body and mind; in the next life, "I want to live out myself and enjoy happiness." This is Zhou Danwei's declaration after 50.
