On this day,
She shared three stories.
Many words often appear in the same sentence as the name "Ju Xiaowen", and one of the most frequent ones is: recognition. It is a measure that is important in any creative industry, representing a person's plasticity above professionalism, and the novelty after mastering the rules of the game.

Ju Xiaowen is like an elf, walking lightly on the heights of recognition.
Since she made her debut in the modeling competition in 2009, she has been active in the top fashion shows for more than a decade. With an outstanding body image and a "little monster" style of changeable temperament, she is the irreplaceable muse of many designers and artists, and the darling of the media. She has undoubtedly gained recognition and favoritism in the fashion world, but what people don't know is that the international supermodel is just one of her many wild dreams.
"Everyone is like a book, he has his own story, logic and ideas, and if they are willing to tell you these stories, it is actually a rare thing." 」
She has always been a person who leads the expression. On this day, she shared three stories.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, but the snow is a courtesy that cannot be sought. For Ju Xiaowen, who grew up in Xi'an, throughout the year, winter is branded with a lot of unbridled happiness in childhood, and snow days focus on the fun of winter.

Childhood winter, mostly spent with the small friends in the yard, although the equipment is simple and simple, but with friends there is endless fun.
The Ring Park is a major stronghold for them. For a long time, the Ming city walls stood on the Guanzhong Plain, subjected to the slow but resolute erosion of nature. In the 1980s, hundreds of thousands of Xi'an citizens responded to the government's proposal to build a city park and volunteered to build along the ancient city wall, which led to today's humanistic land. Recalling the open, always fresh place, Ju Xiaowen's eyes were bright, "At that time, it seemed that there were no facilities built, we were all running blindly, the boys chased the girls, I chased the boys and said no." A group of children were playing around the semicircular guardrail of the moat, sometimes trying to get around, which was particularly crazy. After playing until the point is ordered, go eat a bowl of red oil rice noodles, and then go home happy. ”

When she was a child, Ju Xiaowen was far from the word "lonely", and she always had a group of partners around her. And among them, she stood out again. "It's mainly myself that's quite fierce," she concluded.
On the other side of the globe, winter in New York accounts for nearly six months of the year, half of which is covered in heavy snow. Since the age of 22, Ju Xiaowen, who signed an IMG contract and traveled to the East of the United States, had to re-adapt to such a long winter.
Manhattan is surrounded by water on three sides, the narrow island extends straight into the Atlantic Ocean, on the riverbank, due to the narrow pipe effect, the wind is particularly fierce, "jump up, the landing is definitely not in place," Ju Xiaowen sighed, "the most painful thing is the winter snow, fashion week in the blizzard to run interviews, carrying large bags, walking against the wind." ”

Most people who know ju Xiaowen's growth path will probably have this feeling: the god of luck always comes quickly to her, as if she is reluctant to let the elves suffer too much. However, experience is like drinking water, cold and warm only self-knowledge: "There must be stages that are not happy, for example, work for a period of time is not the kind I expect." 」 If she had mastered some of the techniques of whispering to the god of luck, it might be her absolute bluntness: "First of all I have to be sad, I feel like there must be pain, it feels like rushing out of a bottleneck There will be a particularly narrow state at every stage, you have to suffocate, and then you can go to another space." 」 ”
To some extent, Ju Xiaowen's story is from one snow day to another, and in the middle is a whole round of cold and hot heat, sour, sweet and bitter, and cloudy and sunny.

But in her, there is a kind of small animal-like wild fun and fierceness. The little time of not knowing the height of the sky and the "silly music" did not make Ju Xiaowen a completely reckless person. On the contrary, she has a stable heart, knowing that the cold will eventually pass, and she only needs to endure, replenish, and recuperate until then.
Although describing her past few years as "plain and plain", "no big sadness, no big happiness", in the professional field, Ju Xiaowen has had an epiphany moment.

"At first I didn't quite understand that everyone was just a clothes rack, but while working with Juergen Teller and Tim Walker, I suddenly realized that models could express themselves. We need to understand the costumes, how the costumes are going to fit in with everything on the scene, and the model actually plays a very key role. ”
On this level, Ju Xiaowen shows a lovely sluggishness, and her learning style is often imitation first. Like practicing volleyball in high school, the coach instructed her to "crouch down at the same time when she sees her opponent's hand raised."
Ju Xiaowen asked herself to train her muscle memory of this action, but it was not until much later that she discovered that the moment of squat could move more flexibly left and right, ready to exert force. The coach can teach her skills, but not give her awareness, and she needs to follow her own rhythm to realize what the meaning of a certain action is.

On the runway, many elements will help Ju Xiaowen to refine this meaning. Sometimes it's music, sometimes it's the designer's creative elaboration, and she chews on that information, in which she confirms the feeling that belongs to her. She generously spends her time in front of the camera, privately introverted and lazy, but instead enjoys a kind of indulgence and stretching when facing the camera.
In the past two years, the medium she chose to cooperate with has gradually shifted from static vision to a more borderless audiovisual language, and the new attempts have made her feel curious and nervous. "I think the cinematic lens is very different from the flat shot. (The latter) is captured, you can ignore the shot, as a model, in fact, (in the shot) see you do it yourself. But as an actor, you really have to know the camera very well and express it to the camera accurately. She felt the importance of sincerity in particular, because even if it was just a slight movement of the eyes, the camera would expose her mind to the monitor for a moment.

The broadened lens types make her feel a wider space for expression, and some divinely helpful moments of transparency will suddenly come at some point, and she is obsessed with it.
She looks forward to going through a long, complete immersion in the role, wondering what kind of habits she will get into. "Some people have certain states and expressions, and if you want to imitate him, you can immediately think of those. However, as a person in life, I may really have no shape, and after being with another person for a long time, the tone of speech, movements, and eyes will be infected by him. But until now, I don't feel like I'm affecting anyone else. ”
Whether she has influenced others is still uncertain. But Ju Xiaowen is indeed a liquid person, flowing, changeable, and controlling but not overriding the role, bringing surprises to every artist who co-creates. At the same time, in all the uncertainties, she is also a distinct and dazzling Ju Xiaowen.
The camera records countless moments for Ju Xiaowen, and just by reading these images, you can see a vivid Ju Xiaowen. Not necessarily all of her, but it must be the real her.

Sometimes, when she looks at the previous photos, she feels incredible, completely unable to understand why she made such a strange expression at that time, and why she always seemed happier than the present.
After watching more, she slowly understood, "I feel that the state is not good at the moment, but in the future, you will continue to feel that your former self is happier and dislike this moment, which only shows that you do not cherish the present." She realized that people have an unwise pickiness about the moment and have lost many opportunities to be happier.
For Ju Xiaowen, running, yoga, reading and watching movies have been important hobbies for many years, in which she repairs the connection with her heart, sees the world with the eyes and brains of others, and then learns to love herself better. Admittedly, the right amount of relaxation is often the better solution, because everyone always has something to do, and instead of drowning in frustration and heaviness, it is better to do what you can or just make yourself happy, and that may be the moment when the turnaround is coming.

It was more or less the wisdom that time had given her. In fact, she believed heavily in the power of timing. More recently, she has been passionate about physics, such as the commonalities between quantum entanglement and human feelings. Interests in turn extend to science fiction works such as The O'O'D'Or Fables, The Matrix, and Advent, reconstructing world systems and philosophical concepts.
This curiosity does not appear inexplicably, but in her boundless, colorful thinking, the study of the current world. "Some things are not autonomous, but the times have come and all the information around them has appeared. After the epidemic, everything gradually became a virtual thing, and it felt like we had to be pushed here. ”
In this regard, she gave a subtle metaphor: "In the past, my parents always said to wear autumn pants and wear autumn pants, and we didn't want to wear them anyway, but when you get old, you yourself want to wear autumn pants." ”

In her belief, as long as the earth does not die, the green mountains and rivers will exist for a long time, and nature has its ability to heal itself, and human beings have learned too little.
She felt that she was a thin book, and people with all kinds of thinking were a treasure book. She aspires to pinpoint knowledge and even gain unexpected inspiration.
After having inspiration, she will release what she wants to express in the way of Ju Xiaowen. At the beginning, it was the wisdom of Bole, the choice of Ju Xiaowen, and the luck of this world. Because we were able to see such a breathtaking beauty, and constantly saw her breakthroughs.
Models and actors with fierce personalities; neutral and feminine; Weird, feminine, heroic, professional, good at shaping All these words actually describe the same identity of Ju Xiaowen: she has never been a medium of display, she is a creator.
After the conversation, the staff greeted everyone playfully and efficiently. A certain sentence resonated, and everyone laughed, revealing a pure, crystalline, energetic expression, glowing with Ju Xiaowen's brilliance. It turns out that she "has no shape" and affects her surroundings in a shapeless way. She sat in the middle of it all, making noise together, dancing her arms.
