controversy
I am grateful for the encouragement of Li Yaoxiang and Guo Jin'an and the support of Chen Xiao
TVB is a place rich in small flowers, and after the new millennium, the "four major flowers" go north, and also give many small flowers the opportunity to ascend to the top. Lin Xiawei, who came from a science class and worked hard for ten years, is one of the most powerful. In fact, from the time she was admitted to the Chinese opera and appeared on the stage of the National Drama Theatre, Lin Xiawei has been debuting for 17 years, from xiaohua, to drama actor, to TVB Huadan, until this year to the peak of her career, has been low-key and steady forward.
Recalling the moment when she stood on the podium, Lin Xiawei felt a lot.
Recalling the moment when she stood on the podium, Lin Xiawei felt a lot: "Standing on the stage and shedding tears, because many pictures suddenly emerged." From the age of 16 and a half to beijing alone to study, chasing dreams, step by step from no dialogue of the dragon set, to have one or two sentences of dialogue, to have the opportunity to play a supporting role, and then to the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre, and then to TVB, and from the supporting role, until now you can be the heroine. Having the opportunity to stand on the stage and get this award is actually quite emotional. ”
Lin Xiawei said that after winning the award, she cherished the next work and the role she wanted to play.
After winning the award, the discussion of netizens quickly surged up, and Lin Xiawei also responded on the social platform a few days later, saying that she would humbly accept all support, encouragement and criticism. In an exclusive interview with a Reporter from Nandu, Lin Xiawei frankly said: "On the second day of the award ceremony, I immediately threw myself into the shooting of the new drama "The Man of the Law", shooting all night, and never stopped. What is very touching is that the senior friends inside and outside the circle sent me a lot of long messages, Li Yaoxiang and Guo Jin'an, they are all people who have come over and given me a lot of encouragement and advice. An Tsai said: There is definitely pressure to win the award, you must not have pressure, you should enjoy the next work more, more relaxed to play each of your roles. ”
Lin Xiawei made a great breakthrough in "Seven Princesses", challenging the full nudity and back to appear on the camera for the first time, and the camera did not have a merciless sense of color, but instead interpreted the pain of losing her husband and the madness of "can't forget". Lin Xiawei said: "At that time, when I saw this scene, Xu Rong and I both felt that it was difficult to act, and the pressure was quite great. This scene is to express two lonely hearts, very lonely and miserable, everyone can not let go of the other half, two poor people rely on a scene together. I myself was touched by Gu Yuyan, I hope she is three-dimensional, this scene I feel the need to do, the more crazy, the more it proves that her heart can not let go of the kind of love for her husband. ”
After Lin Xiawei won the award, chen Xiao, a classmate of the 2005 undergraduate class of the Chinese Opera Acting Department, congratulated her on Weibo for the first time, but she was choked by netizens, chen Xiao did not shy away from it, and insisted on supporting the old classmates. In this regard, Lin Xiawei was very touched: "This love of the classmates is really very precious, I was very touched at that moment, and someone was really happy for me." Chen Xiao knows that I love acting very much, and he sees a side that others can't see me. Sometimes we would discuss theatrical issues together, and everyone encouraged each other, encouraged each other, and could be said to grow together. She also cheered herself up with the words of her teacher at that time, "As an actor, you must maintain a positive attitude, remember your original intention, and know how to take this road." I love acting, cherish every opportunity, and don't want to give up, so I must stick to it. ”
Learn the arts
From teacher Chen Daoming, I learned that the role is no big or small to enjoy the performance
Unlike other TVB-born actors, Lin Xiawei, as an "outsider", did not go well at the beginning. When she flew to Beijing alone to study acting, she was strongly opposed by her family, in order to prove herself to her family, she once rented a basement, braving the severe winter snow to practice her lines outdoors, she did not want to give herself a way out, and decided not to go home if she could not pass the exam.
During this difficult study path, Lin Xiawei revealed on the podium: "I said on the stage that my qualifications are not good enough. When I was in college before, because I was not an art student, I was a general high school student, I was not like others who were very good at singing and dancing, and I needed to work harder than others. I'm from the South, and I'm going to practice standard Mandarin, and I need to bite the cork to practice biting. Back in Hong Kong, I also need to bite the cork to practice Cantonese in order to practice the right words. Others do it 10 times, I may need to do it 100 times, 1000 times, but I am willing to work hard and do it well. ”
The experience of studying in Beijing has enriched Lin Xiawei's dramatic life.
The experience of studying in Beijing is a very important time for Lin Xiawei, and the difficulties or pains she has experienced have turned into good memories and enriched her dramatic life.
"I was very impressed that when I was shooting the TV series "Mobile Phone" in Beijing, I played a very small role, only a few scenes, a little dialogue, but I was very lucky to be able to cooperate with Chen Daoming and Wang Zhiwen on the same stage. At that time, the director was about to change the next scene, waiting to shoot the scene of the teacher on their side, and I was the only one left on the stage. Teacher Chen Daoming came up to the stage and said to me, where are you? I said I was from drama school. The teacher said you are my sister, I said the teacher is good. He said why didn't you go to change your clothes? I said I wasn't done with the scene yet, I couldn't go yet, and I had to give dialogue. He praised me and added drama to me, and I was really touched. ”
"After that time, I understood that it turned out that I was such a small character, people would still notice you." As long as you don't give up on yourself and try to act well in every scene, you will always get people's attention. I am more determined of myself, the role is no big or small, I enjoy the process, do my duty, is the most important. ”
Over the years, Lin Xiawei has produced many good works in TVB, from "Twelve Legends", "Victory Sniper", "Harvest Regulations", to last year's "Case Against Heaven" and "Seven Princesses", after continuous polishing and progress, she has walked out of her own path in TVB with small flowers. With the academic performance theory and practice, when she came to TVB, which is more practical, she still retains the habit of writing biographies for characters in the era of drama and looking for music that belongs to the roles, which has become a major feature of her.
The entertainment industry is fiercely competitive, young and beautiful hua dan with topics emerges in an endless stream, Lin Xiawei, like many mesozoic actresses, is also facing the problem of "drama red people are not red". In response, she generously responded that she had never thought about this question, "I believe that time can prove everything, the audience's eyes are shining, they will see your efforts." 」 I remember that when "HarvestIng Regulations" was broadcast on TV, people really called me 'HuayingYue' on the road; when "Gonggong Out of the Palace", on the way, people called me 'Jin Dashao', and when "Twelve Legends" was broadcast, everyone called me 'Professor Pan'. When everyone sees me on the road, remembering the name of my character makes me happier than remembering that I am Lin Xiawei."

Cousin Lin Feng is a good example and continues to progress towards his dreams
Many viewers' first impression of Lin Xiawei is "Lin Feng's cousin", and she debuted under this label and was initially treated by the outside world with colored glasses. This time to win the jackpot, there are still netizens who say that it is because she is a "relationship household". In fact, when she first came to TVB, Lin Feng sent her three words "rely on herself", which is also the concept that Lin Xiawei has been practicing.
"My brother has always been a good role model for me, he's a very good actor. At that time, we each went to pursue our dreams, he entered TVB, and I went to Beijing to study. We have taken very different paths, and until now, both people are very independent individuals, working in their own direction. ”
When I first arrived at TVB, my cousin Lin Feng gave Lin Xiawei three words " to rely on yourself" .
It is undeniable that because of Lin Feng, more people know About Lin Xiawei, and it is inevitable that lin Xiawei's own efforts will be ignored because of excessive attention to this relationship between the outside world. She said: "I was never discouraged because my brother was indeed my role model. I think time can prove everything, as long as you work hard everyone will see, now I have come step by step, towards my goals and dreams to progress, hard work will not be in vain. ”
Admitted to the Central Academy of Drama for further study, participated in the repertoire of the National Drama Theatre, and joined the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre as a full-time actor, this set of "combination fists" made Lin Xiawei a wide-ranging and diversified actor. When talking about her expectations for the future, she modestly expressed the hope that she can always improve, "do every job well, play every role well, compare myself, and as long as I improve more than the last time, I feel very satisfied."
The dust has settled on the results of the award ceremony, and Lin Xiawei has been involved in the filming of the new drama "The Law Speaker". There is still a long way to go to be recognized and affirmed by more audiences. No longer need to be bothered by the disturbing sounds outside, constantly challenging and breaking through herself, is the way she wants to go at the moment.
