725 Salon: Joan Chen — Across the Seasons of Life / 725沙龙: 陈冲 穿越人生

725 Salon is honored to host a conversation with Joan Chen — a name that has accompanied generations of audiences through their cinematic memories. From the brave and resolute Zhao Xiaohua in Little Flower to the delicate and complex Empress Wanrong in The Last Emperor, she has brought to life one vivid character after another. Over the years, she has continuously expanded her artistic boundaries across multicultural stages, moving fluidly between the roles of actress, director, screenwriter, and writer, using diverse forms of creation to tell the stories of her life and of her times.

In the conversation, we will delve into her art, her upbringing and her life: from her early rise in Chinese cinema to her challenges and breakthroughs in Hollywood; from performing in front of the camera to telling stories behind it; from refining the details of her characters to exploring her own identity through her art. (1 hr., 19 min.)

This program is in Chinese.

本期725沙龙，我们将对话陈冲——她的名字，伴随着几代观众的银幕记忆：从《小花》里勇敢执着的赵小花，到《末代皇帝》中细腻复杂的婉容，她塑造了一个又一个鲜活角色。此后，她在多元文化的舞台上不断拓展边界，在演员、导演、编剧、作家等身份间切换，用多样的创作讲述人生与时代的故事。

这一次，我们将与她一起探讨艺术、情感与人生：从国内影坛的崭露头角到好莱坞的挑战与突破；从银幕前的表演到镜头后的讲述；从角色细节的打磨到自我身份的探索。（1小时19分钟）
