In 1984, when Zou Yitian was only 14 years old, she once played the heroine Enron in the film "girl in red". As an ordinary high school student, Zou Yitian, relying on her acting talent and under the careful guidance of the director, successfully created the image of intelligent, hardworking, positive, enthusiastic and straightforward characters, and depicted the inner feelings of contradiction, confusion, loneliness and confusion when the characters were in trouble Heart feeling. Zou Yitian's performance has children's aura and nature, not affectation. Since then, Zou Yitian's image of Enron has been deeply imprinted in the minds of the audience.

Personal life

Youth rebellion

Was Zou Yitian unhappy? In fact, it's not. She said that her twenties are the most important stage of her growth, which is closely related to her work, love, most important friends and even the formation of her values. But when people are young, they always feel "living elsewhere", full of idealism and pessimistic about life.

In fact, in retrospect, she said that the years when she studied in Chinese opera were very fun and happy. It was the transition period from the late 1980s to the early 1990s when China was moving towards rapid economic development. It was an era when people paid attention to themselves, paid attention to personality expression and yearned to connect with the world. It was an era when rock music and avant-garde art began to flourish.

At that time, the Central Academy of drama was just when Meng Jinghui and others rebelled against tradition and began to try avant-garde drama. It was just when various rock bands set up one after another and performed underground everywhere. It was just when the students of Chinese opera were popular in making clothes and trousers out of rural cotton quilts and wearing them everywhere. It was the boys who were engaged in art who kept their hair long and the girls who cut their hair more carefully When boys were short Zou Yitian happily "mingled" with Meng Jinghui's gang and performed the first deviant avant-garde drama "bald singer" of the Theater Academy. She fell in love with rock music crazily and went to all kinds of parties with rock music performances. She still remembers riding a bike to a party with Zhang Yang, who later became a film director, on a snowy day The whole family was full of passion and always felt that they would be a group of people who would change the world. However, the students in the performance department always felt that they didn't have many ideas. So she remembered that there was a big trumpet shouting at the bedroom window of the performance department: "just the business girls in the performance department, I don't know how to die!".

"That's youth. It's very happy!" Zou Yitian said that she likes the rebellion, the yearning for freedom, the expression of self and the publicity of personality, as if all the pent up passion can finally be indulged. So when Zou Yitian, a good child who graduated from Beijing No.8 Middle School, a key middle school, entered the Central Academy of drama, he immediately felt: "this is the life I want."

Girl in red

In 1984, director Lu Xiaoya got the script of "girl in red" and planned to search for the actor of the heroine Enron in the whole country. She and the photographer quietly searched in the middle school in Beijing. On this day, the children of the chorus of No.8 Middle School in the city key middle school were performing for the reception of foreign guests. A tall, Round faced girl in the middle of the first row attracted the attention of the director. This girl was Zou Yitian. After the performance, Zou Yitian was called to the director's side. She was asked to perform a sketch of "because her parents didn't understand, she was angry, so she rushed out of the door". Zou Yitian's performance made the director very satisfied, and soon decided to let her play a positive, enthusiastic and straightforward Enron. "At that time, the director thought that one of the best things about me was that I believed in the prescribed situation. What she said to me, I really put myself in that situation to play without distractions. In fact, actors need this kind of quality. They can't rationally judge whether it's true or false, right or wrong. It's hard to put in that way. " In retrospect, Zou Yitian also felt that it was no accident that he was able to play Enron.

Zou Yitian, a sophomore in junior high school, has to get the consent of his parents and school if he wants to film. Zou Yitian's parents are both senior architectural design engineers. Although they have some actor friends, they have also brought Zou Yitian to the people's Art Theatre since childhood. However, they can't rest assured that their children who are still studying can put down their studies and act. My mother also asked her friends about whether Zou Yitian should take part in the performance. When they learned that the director and the main actors were excellent film workers, their parents gave Zou Yitian the green light.

In 1984, if you saw the movie girl in red, if you are a girl, you must learn from her and buy a red shirt to put on.

Twenty four years later, Zou Yitian, the girl in red, became the director of an Internet company. She has been to many places in the world. One place she thinks of is Chengdu, where her dream began.

In 1984, Zou Yitian, who was only 14 years old, played the heroine Enron in the film girl in red, becoming the youth idol of that era. There were many more girls wearing red shirts on the street overnight. Almost all the girls of the same age in the country are asking the same question: I am very similar to her in appearance and character. Why is Enron her instead of me?

Every time I go to e film studio, I can see a very big poster of girl in red in the lobby of the office building. The girl on the poster has a broad face and a slightly raised mouth. Her vivid face is unforgettable.

Twenty four years later, on the 12th floor of the fashion building on World Trade Street in Beijing, Zou Yitian, 38, and I met face to face, drank tea and chatted quietly. She was the director of public relations and corporate affairs of MySpace, still dressed in red. Outside the sun is very dazzling, Zou Yitian's face in the sun is still so bright and open. The trace of years evolved into self-confidence and maturity on this baby face. Zou Yitian's life began to be brilliant in Chengdu, blossomed when she returned to Beijing, precipitated slowly in New York, and experienced gradually in Hong Kong. Now she is back in Beijing, starting a new wonderful life.

It's rare for an elite like Zou Yitian, who has a returnee background and has worked in Hong Kong for five years, to speak without English words. She still has a Beijing accent and speaks slowly. Many people feel unable to control the fate, but Zou Yitian here to complete a beautiful reincarnation.

"Maybe it's not much different from Zhao Wei in those years. No one doesn't know you. Walking on the street, everyone can recognize you. Every day, there are a big bag of letters from audiences all over the country." ——- Zou Yitian

Unconventional transformation

Far from being a well-known star, she has changed from an ordinary international student to a well-known program editor to a professional manager in myspace. Every transformation seems to be unexpected and unconventional.

After 23 years of ups and downs, Zou Yitian, who was famous for starring in the girl in red at the age of 14, chose to go abroad for further study after staying away from applause and flowers. He went from an overseas student to editor in chief of "Qiang Qiang three people" column of Phoenix Satellite TV, and then turned to work as a professional manager in the network field he was not familiar with at the peak of his career.

Her career is full of legend. She is very similar to Enron, a girl in red. She is determined to face her own choice. As for the three "unconventional" career transformations in her life, she said: "looking back on the road, it is a process of pursuing and striving. As an actor, as a program editor or as a professional manager of an enterprise, I will work hard for it. All life experiences, whether good or bad, are a kind of wealth, and their existence will be especially realistic. "

Zou Yitian, who doesn't know anything about the Internet, works as the director of public relations and corporate affairs of Juyou, the world's largest dating website, and faces the rapid expansion of enterprises and fierce competition from local enterprises. "I'm ready to accept the tremendous pressure of work and go to the next level." She said confidently.

Ordinary foreign students

The first time I saw Zou Yitian, I was attracted by her small smoky eye makeup. The deep and divine eye outline will make people attracted by her sight. When I look deeply into her eyes, I can still see the pure and spiritual eyes of that year
