Senior facial makeup artist breaks into the entertainment industry

Ding Man made her debut at the age of 16.

Because of her lively and cheerful appearance, she was chosen by a big director to play the leading role. In her first film after entering the circle, she won the Best Actress award with her smart and natural image of a girl, becoming the youngest actress to win the Golden Dragon Award.

Ding Man became famous in one battle and became a hot commodity in everyone's eyes.

She was too young, her mind was unstable, and she was praised by everyone, so she was inevitably arrogant. She thought she was a genius in acting and starred in several film and television dramas in a row.

Fortunately, the Internet was not as developed as it is now, otherwise I would definitely be labeled as overlapping roles and unprofessional.

Under the arrangement of the agency, Ding Man moved around in various crews. In three years, she filmed three movies, eight TV series, and two regular variety shows, not to mention other guest appearances.

Before she terminated her contract with the agency that only wanted to make quick money and did not focus on the development of artists, she had 2 movies and 4 TV series broadcast one after another.

Movies and TV series collapsed across the board, with the lowest online rating being only 2.4 and the highest being only 4.9.

The young film queen with a great reputation was brought down to the ground and became the queen of bad movies.

After suffering a major setback in the entertainment industry, Ding Man and her family realized that she would be ruined if she continued like this, so they learned from the pain and stopped the loss in time.

After changing to a new company, I no longer take on roles casually.

The new company analyzed the bad movies that Ding Man had taken on in her previous company and found that the only watchable work was in which she played a role similar to the character in the movie in which Ding Man made her debut.

Considering that she might be suitable for this kind of smart and cute girl image, the subsequent character settings are also set to move in this direction as much as possible.

She is pleasing in appearance and is particularly suitable for this type of role, successfully winning the hearts of thousands of viewers. She has become popular again, with many mother fans, and her popularity back then is not much different from that of Lin Wanwan today.

Although she never won the Best Actress Award again, she became a popular actress with her youthful and energetic image.

It is said that Lin Wanwan always plays the role of a beautiful woman with a single role. In fact, Ding Man is the one with a single role.

With high popularity and good maintenance, Ding Man has managed to get to where she is today by relying on a similar personality.

As she got older, her image started to become unstable. In recent years, she has often been criticized by netizens for pretending to be young, and even got a very unpleasant title - "middle-aged girl".

In fact, it wasn't that she wanted to act like a girl, it was just that when she reached a certain status, people around her would flatter her, which made it difficult for people to truly recognize her. She really felt that she looked young, no worse than a real girl.

Fortunately, although the people in the company were praising her, they were still clear-headed. When Ding Man was 35 years old, the company had already begun to let her try to transform.

It was just that she had been a "girl" for too long and was no longer able to play other roles. Ding Man herself was not in a hurry, so the transformation plan naturally failed.

The company wanted to hire a professional acting teacher for her, but Ding Man refused to give in because she was determined to keep her title as the best actress.

After several years of failed transformation attempts, she finally took advice, kept it a secret, and hired a professional acting teacher.

Ding Man thought that she had paid a lot for the transformation and was eager to see the results after she sacrificed her face to hire a teacher.

Unfortunately, the dramas she filmed in the past two years have not been released due to some messy reasons.

Just at this time, the crew of "Yang Yuhuan" sent an invitation.

The role of Concubine Wu Huifei was not very important. Ding Man did not want to be a supporting role, and even less willing to be a mother-in-law to someone who was 10 years younger than her, so she refused without hesitation.

For a middle-aged actress, this age is very awkward. Even if she takes good care of herself, she cannot play the role of a young girl all her life.

Having been the leading actress for so many years and enjoying such popularity and status, Ding Man is unwilling to play a supporting role. However, it is difficult for her to find a suitable leading female role at her age.

Ding Man is proud, but the staff around her are smart. They are unwilling to give up the opportunity to work with Director Tang and try to persuade her in every way.

He discussed with the crew and gave Ding Man the title of special starring (guest appearance), and after reconciliation between the two sides, he finally persuaded Ding Man to agree.

Ding Man plays the role of Concubine Wu Huifei, and has several scenes with Lin Wanwan. Lin Wanwan is a little confused by the opponent's grand show, but fortunately Director Tang controls the situation and Lin Wanwan quickly gets into the shooting state.

Because it was in a critical period of transformation, after shooting two scenes, Ding Man’s team asked to see the shooting results.

Lin Wanwan's beauty stands out even in the film and television industry where there are so many beautiful women.

Ding Man didn't like Lin Wanwan's type. When she first joined the group, she was a little disdainful and felt that Lin Wanwan didn't deserve the title of "the most beautiful woman in the domestic entertainment industry." But when she looked at the camera, she found that this kind of strong appearance had many advantages in the camera.

Especially in the picture where the two of them are in the same frame, the graceful-looking Ding Man is completely overwhelmed by the other party.

In recent years, some people have mocked her as a "middle-aged girl". Ding Man hopes to have a good image in the outside world and cannot accept such pictures being leaked.

At one point, he even suspected that the crew had given Lin Wanwan separate lighting and insisted on reshooting.

If it were another director, he might have succumbed to Ding Man's status in the industry. But the director of this play is Tang Yuan, a stubborn old man with a unique aesthetic and pursuit of art.

Ding Man's team had so many things to deal with that Director Tang's face turned black and both sides were not happy.

Considering Director Tang Yuan's reputation in the circle, Ding Man could not confront him head-on, so she simply listened to her agent's advice and took a step back.

What her agent didn't expect was that she took a big step and directly quit the crew.

She didn't answer her phone calls or reply to her WeChat messages, and just said she didn't want to film anymore. Her agent had no choice but to help her negotiate a termination of the contract.

During this period, Lin Wanwan, who was feeling great pressure due to Director Tang's strict requirements, was studying the script word by word, thinking about how to act, and did not pay much attention to the disturbances in the outside world.

By the time Lin Wanwan realized that the atmosphere on the crew was not right, Ding Man had already left.

Lin Wanwan felt that this senior was fickle and did not have a good impression of him.

At that time, the crew had already started filming for more than two months, and the contracts of Lin Wanwan and Li Hai had long expired.

Before Director Tang had chosen a suitable actor, Zhao Qin seized the opportunity to push Zhou Li in.

Director Tang was not very satisfied with Zhou Li's appearance, but after auditioning her, he found that her acting skills were not bad and she understood the role well.
