Everyone knows being an actor isn’t easy. After all, there’s more to being a star than just being able to act and look pretty. In fact, one necessary factor is networking. As Chinese actress E Jingwen (鄂靖文) aka Vin E or E Bo (鄂博) can confirm, networking is essential.

Jingwen first came into the public eye via Stephen Chow (周星馳) ‘s 2019 film “The New King of Comedy (新喜剧之王)”. At that time, her performance as the lead for the show catapulted her to fame. However, now, she’s not as prominent in the scene and recently, her agent revealed why.

The Chinese actress debuted eight years ago after graduating from The Central Academy of Drama (中央戏剧学院). Although her appearance then was supposedly plain, there was no denying her acting skill. She managed to land small roles in TV series and movies, but nothing major. Jingwen was in “City of Rock (缝纫机乐队)” and “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons (西遊·降魔篇)”. However, she did not get much screen time nor many lines.

Jingwen’s career finally got a break in 2019 when she was selected to star in Stephen Chow’s “The New King of Comedy” film. At that time, Jingwen excitedly announced her role on Weibo, adding, “This time, there are lines!” She successfully smashed her role in the movie and won Best New Performer at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Yet, her career seemed to stagnate there.

Her agent recently explained that it was because Jingwen was insistent on getting quality work. Apparently the actress was not keen on “making bad films” and was not willing to join variety shows. As such, she was not seen in many works later on.

Additionally, Jingwen was not big on social media. Her agent had hoped her interaction with fans and a constant online presence would help, but she struggled to maintain it. In fact, Jingwen admitted to forgetting about her Weibo account in June. “You said that I forgot my Weibo account, I fooled (around and took) a few photos, let’s make do with them,” she wrote.

Well, the actress is still pretty active in the entertainment scene and seems to be enjoying life as it is. Jingwen may one day reappear in the public eye with another movie. But for now, she appears to be satisfied with her life and career.
