As we all know, if you want the Korean entertainment industry to stand out, you must not only have a appearance that surpasses ordinary people, but also have superb acting skills. Especially female stars are even more difficult, but also have to fight with the capital forces behind them, and there is such a person born as a Korean miss, waiting for ten years, and finally transformed into a successful korean drama "Secrets and Lies" heroine!
Her name is Seo Hae-won in the Miss Incheon pageant in 2009, you may have never heard his name before, today to share her inspirational story. Xu Haiyuan's star path was not as smooth as expected, until 2013, when she took over the cameo of "Miss Korea", wearing a high swimsuit and walking in the tram, and her life-selling appearance was appreciated, from the original cameo in only 1 episode, acting to the ending, making her feel affirmed.
Xu Haiyuan, who worked in a restaurant and was a secretary before entering the industry, revealed: "In the past, when I watched TV with my family, I would turn off the TV and ask my family to watch me. Because I have loved to learn people on TV since I was a child, I played like this, and I entered the industry after participating in the beauty pageant. But it's not because of this that I want to act, but I originally wanted to act, and it was only because my parents objected that I wanted to say that I signed up for a beauty pageant to prove it to them."
Despite his excellent appearance, Xu Haiyuan's path as an actor did not go smoothly as expected, and he could only play small roles such as nurse, OL, secretary and so on in theatrical works, until he took over "Miss Korea". "At that time, I was supposed to have a cameo in one episode, but then I was called back and played episodes 4 to 20. My role originally had no name, that is, beauty pageant candidate No. 1, but after I went back to continue acting, I added a name to "Miss Korea" and felt as if I was trying to be seen."
After years of suffering, Xu Haiyuan finally promoted the heroine in "Secrets and Lies", she confessed: "Really a lot of pressure, I don't know if I can do a good job, but I told myself, I just worked hard for today for so long, although it is insufficient, but I still have to go all out." 」 When she first got the role, she was surprised and thought that the agent was joking; she said that the auditions she had previously gone to were small roles, and she often returned home, so she did not expect to have the opportunity to become a heroine.
There are many crying scenes in the play, because she can't cry, Kim Hye-young, who plays her mother, specially instructs her to put herself in the position of the protagonist to think and invest in emotions. As soon as she thought that her role had been so miserable by Wu Chengya, she couldn't stop her tears.
After the completion of "Secrets and Lies", Xu Haiyuan once again experienced a blank period of no work, but relied on painting to get through this time. She said: "Sometimes a painting is 10 hours, but when I didn't work before, I often wanted to say, 'I don't know what to do today', and that time was slowly filled with painting, and painting was not correct, but self-satisfaction, which for me was a time to concentrate on myself." The constant painting creation also allowed her to open her own small solo exhibition in Korea and become a slash artist.
The story after listening to it is really quite touching and inspirational, telling us a truth: people must have dreams, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish?
