从牛津毕业，放弃年薪2000万，范冰冰都闯不进的好莱坞，她凭什么一夜爆红？！
前不久，漫威放出了新作《Eternals》的首支官方预告。也曝光了这部超英电影的重要主角，由华裔女星嘉玛·陈饰演的瑟西。
没错，就是在《变形金刚5》里饰演造物主昆塔莎的这位华裔演员👇
她对于国内的观众来说，也许不算是一个大熟脸，但她已经参演了许多好莱坞巨制的大片了。
更让人意外的是，在她成为演员之前，竟然是世界顶级名校牛津大学的毕业生。在她毕业后，本有机会入职英国的顶级律所 Slaughter and May。但她却放弃了这次机会，选择了从头开始，追逐自己的演艺梦，于是又去学起了表演，考取了戏剧学院。
下面我们一起跟着 Norah 老师和外教 Colin 老师来聊聊嘉玛·陈，并学习有关的英文表达吧⬇️
