Wei Minzhi, 13 years old, was evaluated by Zhang Yimou as "unattractive, with poor figure". At that time, Wei Minzhi, who was famous for "no one can be left behind", had a hard choice between studying and performing arts. Finally, he asked Zhang Yimou for advice and went on to finish high school. Then I went to the director department of Beijing Film Academy, but the interview was eliminated. Finally, he was admitted to a film and television media college in Xi and became a student of the director department.
Later, an American doctor named Chen Ergang in Chinese wanted to sponsor Wei Minzhi to study in the United States and personally came to China to visit Wei Minzhi. Wei Minzhi studied abroad for the following reasons: He wanted to be a director. After two years of preparation, Wei Minzhi was admitted to Brigham Young University, majoring in media and television. More importantly, Wei Minzhi got a full scholarship. Wei Minzhi joined the school choir in America. She is not only the host, but also the director of the whole documentary tour. On the evening of May 18, 2007, Brigham Young University Choir from Hawaii brought a world folk song concert to Beijing audience in Zhongshan Concert Hall.
Dr Brigham Young University Choir told reporters that the host of the concert was Wei Minzhi. As a first-year student, she will be a live host in Chinese and fluent English. Dr. Chen, the Chinese professor of the choir, also introduced that Brigham Young University and Foreign Studies University had many years of inter-school exchanges and student exchanges and cooperation, and became students of our school in 2004.
That year, I came into contact with Wei Minzhi, a freshman in International Studies University. At that time, her English was poor and she didn't understand the simplest questions. However, I introduced her to our professor at Xi International Studies University. Wei Minzhi is really smart. Two years later, her level has been able to cope with all the courses at the University of Hawaii.
Studied media and television at the University of Hawaii. In addition, students from the University of Hawaii come from more than 70 countries in the world, and about 50% of them are poor. Wei Minzhi is a representative group, so we are willing to recruit her to study in the university. "Dr. Chen also told reporters that Wei Minzhi could not appear at the media meeting because she also served as the deputy director of the performance video during this tour." Now she is filming with the choir at Badaling Great Wall. As for her hosting level and English level, "You can see a different Wei Minzhi at the concert tonight.
Wei Minzhi studied hard after he stopped performing. In 2004 and 2005, he won the National Youth Essay Competition Award, vice chairman of China Young Writers Association and chairman of Hebei Provincial Committee. "Interesting" Wei Minzhi returned from studying in the United States and appeared in Shijiazhuang. At that time, she was famous for filming Zhang Yimou's film Not Bad at All. I returned to China to shoot the documentary Miracle Daughter and tell my growth story. Shijiazhuang is the first stop of her trip. That year, Wei Minzhi was the middle school she finished in the elite middle school.
"The documentary we filmed in China this time is called Miracle Daughter, which will be broadcast on American TV stations such as Salt Lake City TV Station and Hebei TV Station next winter. In this film, I work as a production assistant and an actor. " Wei Minzhi said that for more friends, making this film by yourself is a kind of nostalgia, gratitude and encouragement: if you work hard, your life will be a miracle.
Later, when interviewed by reporters, Wei Minzhi said, "I am really lucky to be filming with Uncle Zhang Yimou. The filming experience of that year has changed my life track. Only in this way can I have the opportunity to go to college and study abroad ... Without this movie, I might raise pigs at home, get married, have children and be a housewife. " Two episodes of Fairy Tales in the Night have attracted much attention because of Wei Minzhi's participation. Wei Minzhi, who walked out of the "Zhang Yimou aura", once again returned to people's sight.
Facing a large group of reporters, Wei Minzhi showed magnanimity and described his future blueprint as a director. However, when the reporter talked to her alone, Wei Minzhi's mature words and manners still could not conceal the unique simplicity of girls of this age. She sighed lightly and said, "Being a director is really just my idea. I'm not even sure if I really like this industry. Maybe I will get married early after graduating from college. "
Wei Minzhi used to behave well, but it also made people feel out of proportion to his age. The reporter asked her if she felt this way. Wei Minzhi said, "Actually, I'm not who I really am. It is most comfortable to be with classmates. I also asked my classmates what they thought of me. They said,' You are just a child!' Director Zhang Yuzhong commented that she is a very practical and filial child. Wei Minzhi nodded gently: "I admit it. I hope my family can live better now. I care about them most. "
She studied as a director in the Western Film and Media College of International Studies University for two years, and now she has officially become a director. June 65438+1October 65438+July 2006, Wei Minzhi told reporters that the TV series "Mother's Wish" focused on the family chores between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and was invested and filmed by a film and television company in Xi 'an. "The boss of the film and television company came to my director. I read the script and thought it was ok to change it, so I agreed. " As for the reason why the film company asked her to direct, Wei Minzhi said that due to the strong recommendation of the college teachers, the other party did not value her popularity.
Today, Wei Minzhi is married and has children, and has a lovely baby. Although Wei Minzhi failed to become an actor, he realized his dream of directing. I hope she will get better and better at home and at work and make more and better works.
