The highly anticipated TV series "Knife Line in the Snow", which has been highly anticipated since the official announcement, ended with a Douban score of 5.8.
The plot dragged on, the martial arts drama was too slow, and netizens said that they were dissuaded.
However, in a bad review, Xu Xiao, played by Hu Jun, was unanimously affirmed by netizens.
Stills from "Knife Row in the Snow"
Xu Xiao, the King of the Northern Starlings, the only remaining king of the Yang Dynasty with a different surname, has achieved many battles and holds 350,000 iron horses in his hands, which is a frightening existence.
Such a tyrant coincides with Hu Jun's screen image all along, and everyone is willing to believe that he is Xu Xiao.
When it comes to the image being defined, Hu Jun does not care.
"People have an inherent impression of me, and I'm happy, but I don't have a fixed pattern for myself."
Hu Jun said that tough guys have a thousand faces. And he is not only a tough guy.
In a room with only two rooms, singers Hu Baoshan and Hu Songhua were practicing their voices, and from time to time they compared who had the higher and whose tone was more perfect.
And Hu Jun outside the window, only felt irritable. The belching voice sounded to him, all noise.
This is one of the most profound impressions of Hu Jun, who was born in a literary and artistic family as a child.
In addition, another impression is the father holding a stick. Hu Jun's parents are both soldiers, and the tutoring is very strict, but it still can't resist his naughtiness.
He went down to the river bare-chested to catch fish and food, and was entangled in water weeds and mud; when he heard the remedies for curing diseases, he went to the field to catch snakes; he was beaten by his father when he did something wrong, and he stubbornly stared at his eyes...
But his stubbornness failed to break his father's military belt after all, even if he did not like to sing and the violin, Hu Jun had to learn to graduate from high school.
In 1987, the 19-year-old Hu Jun rebelled again.
Unwilling to apply for the Conservatory of Music, he secretly applied for the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy without his parents.
At that time, Hu Jun did not like acting, it was just a contest with his father.
But Hu Jun won very thoroughly.
The teachers and students of the 87th grade of the Chinese Opera Performance Department took a group photo, and the third left in the back row was Hu Jun
Entering Chinese opera, he found his own love, he talked about drama, rented a venue, and rehearsed performances with other students who shared their hobbies.
It was a time when we didn't talk about fame and fortune, only about ideals.
After graduation, Hu Jun entered the Beijing Renyi and officially became a drama actor.
"Vladimir" played by Hu Jun in the drama "Waiting for Godot"
In the decade that followed, even for small roles with only a few words, Hu Jun was immersed in it.
But life did not allow him to immerse himself in this. As fewer and fewer people entered the theater, theatrical performances began to lose money.
This is the first time that Hu Jun realized that before talking about love, he must face life.
"Don't jump on one leg" is a major decision made by Hu Jun. Putting down the stage and changing direction was a big obstacle in Hu Jun's heart at that time.
Fortunately, with the tempering of acting skills on the stage of drama, Hu Jun's road to turning to film and television actors is not difficult.
In 2000, director Guan Jinpeng was preparing the movie "Lan Yu", and for the protagonist Chen Handong, he could not find a suitable actor.
Seeing Hu Jun under the introduction of a friend, Guan Jinpeng decided at a glance that this role was none other than him.
It was an era when homosexual subjects were still relatively sensitive, but the newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, and that was also Hu Jun's most wanton age.
Hu Jun took it as an opportunity without the slightest hesitation.
During the filming process, when another protagonist, Liu Ye, was a little worried, Hu Jun was very cheerful: "So many people are waiting, what else can I do?" ”
In the film, Chen Handong in the early stage smoked a cigarette, held a billiard club, and was a prickly brother, and after experiencing marriage and career loss, when he met Lan Yu again, he found that he loved him in his heart, both happy and restrained.
Without a large movement, Hu Jun had a look in his eyes and a hand movement, and he played Chen Handong.
After the screening of the film, Hu Jun and Liu Ye were both nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.
In the end, Liu Ye won back the trophy, and Hu Jun, who was initially praised by the media to the clouds, gradually recognized himself.
Later, when talking about this matter, Hu Jun did not hide his loss at that time, but he also thanked him for that day, which allowed him to walk more solidly on this road.
Chen Handong in the play lost his love, and the peak of Hu Jun's career outside the play really arrived.
By chance, Hu Jun met Zhang Jizhong, who was filming "Smiling Proud of the Rivers and Lakes".
Zhang Jizhong was attracted by Hu Jun's temperament and joked: "If I shoot "Tianlong Eight Parts" in the future, I will definitely let you play Qiao Feng." ”
Qiao Feng, played by Hu Jun
Hu Jun is a Jin Yong fan, and Qiao Feng is his favorite character.
What's even more amazing is that Hu Jun, who doesn't like costume dramas, once said: "If I want to play costumes, it must be Qiao Feng." ”
No one thought that two jokes would actually come true.
In 2002, Hu Jun became the first actor to sign the crew of "Tianlong Babu".
With the classic version of Huang Rihua in front, Hu Jun is somewhat entangled. He didn't know how to interpret Qiao Feng, and he didn't know how to make everyone comfortable.
"In the end, I simply ignored all this, threw away all the burdens, and played Qiao Feng in my own mind, and I showed him completely, and I could do it."
In Hu Jun's mind, the play is acted out, the same role, different people have different understandings.
After putting everything aside, Hu Jun achieved the classic and also achieved himself.

Some netizens commented: "Since Qiao Feng, no one will question the hero Hao Jie played by Hu Jun." ”
Hu Jun's tough guy life began.
Xiang Yu in "Chu Han Fengyun" exudes domineering from the inside out; Zhang Xueliang in "Xi'an Incident", who is bold and loyal, is still strong at the trough; Duan Shaorong, a gangster in "Like a Spark Like a Butterfly", is always shrewd but full of righteousness.
Playing more tough guys, Hu Jun is known as "the most A man in the entertainment industry", standing with other tough guy representatives, Hu Jun's hormone temperament is slightly better.
Hu Jun, second from the right
Ren Dahua said that if he was a girl, he must marry Hu Jun; Zhang Zhen felt handsome when he first saw Hu Jun, and did not dare to take the initiative to say hello; even Andy Lau, who has been looking up to many movie emperors, personally cooked a cake when he first met Hu Jun.
Even the "wolf warrior" Wu Jing would be spoiled when he saw him.
Tall figure, handsome face, Hu Jun's tough guy temperament is innate, as long as he stands there, he is a general talent in the play.
This is a gift of fate and a test for him.
In show business, everyone is afraid of being defined, and once defined, they are eager to change.
And Hu Jun, as always, did not care.
Hu Jun has an unfettered freedom and a rare sobriety, and when the two come together, hu Jun's sincerity is created.
He confessed that "tough guy" is the safest deduction for him and can never go wrong.
He gladly accepted, but he also wanted to "seek freedom in the norms."
If acting is predestined, then how to take this road well is what Hu Jun has explored step by step.
"Any character is a flesh-and-blood person, not just the side that sees." This is Hu Jun's only obsession when acting.
In 2021, the movie "Chosin Lake" was released, and Hu Jun played the veteran of the volunteer army "Lei Gong", which completely subverted the stereotype of netizens for tough guys.
In the original setting, Lei Gong was brave and decisive as a veteran, very heroic but lacked the breath of life.
Hu Jun felt that this was not right.
So he repeatedly pondered the script, communicated with the director over and over again, and designed a lot of details in life.
Stills from "Lei Gong"
Lei Gong was an artilleryman who was hearing-impaired during the war, so he made a small speaker as a hearing aid and hung it to his ear once the war started.
There was no other pastime, so he made a pipe with a shell casing, often in his mouth.
Lei Gong's sentence before his sacrifice, "Don't leave me here alone", became the biggest tear in the film.
There is no talk about great ideals, no worries behind him, but only the truest feelings of the current characters. This was Hu Jun's idea.
This feeling also comes from his father, Hu Baoshan, who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and also sang songs for his comrades-in-arms in the face of the wind and snow.
Hu Jun put himself into that history and deeply felt that Lei Gong had a strong soul and flesh and blood.
Xu Xiao of "The Sword in the Snow" does not have a historical background to do blessings, and what Hu Jun can do is to continue to penetrate into the hearts of the characters.
"As an actor, it is not interesting for you to only act on the script, and what is behind the script depends on the actor and the director to dig up." 」
In Hu Jun's view, Xu Xiao is a person with a layout, although it is the world he has laid, why he wants to guard this world is worthy of deep investigation.
"He is not only guarding the peace of the world, but also the expectations of those who died."
Therefore, Xu Xiao's unscrupulous means and deep calculations have a more far-reaching significance.
And Xu Xiao's charm is not only here.
Hearing that his son would come, he hurriedly sorted out his clothes, and the housekeeper also instructed his subordinates, "The prince sees the son of the world, even if he is killed by the son of the world, he should not see it."
The mighty King of the Northern Starlings, in front of his son Xu Fengnian, was a very humble son slave.
Netizens gave the Xu family father and son p picture of "The Knife Line in the Snow"
Such an alternative picture caused netizens to laugh and laugh at the same time, and they could not help but start to think deeply.
When Xu Fengnian finally grew up, we also understood the deep meaning behind all of Xu Xiao's actions - after him, someone can continue to guard this piece of peace.
This character has always been.
Just like the belief that Hu Jun has always adhered to, acting is not the plot, it is the people.
In the 20 years from Qiao Feng to Xu Xiao, Hu Jun has created classics again and again, and has also shaped himself again and again.
On the gravel paved sidewalk, a man was lying on the ground looking for a good angle and seriously blowing pictures.
You wouldn't have thought that this was Hu Jun, who was 52 years old.
"There is a stem", "cute" and "warm" are the surprises that Hu Jun brought to netizens when he participated in the variety show "Brother full of vitality".
In the show, he domineeringly sets the rules, and when he finds that he is not right, he tilts his head and admits his mistake, and every game is serious and hardworking.
Because of the firmness and passion in his body, in a group of young people, Hu Jun did not violate it.
When asked if there is a generation gap and whether there will be a comparison, Hu Jun is still straightforward.
"Man has stages, and every stage has his wonderful existence."
He was willing to accept all differences, and in his view it was a kind of learning, and no one was good or bad. Such an attitude is the most important gain of Hu Jun on the road of life.
Time rewinds a few years, Hu Jun somewhat rejected variety shows, until he encountered a low point in his life.
Hu Jun said that it was a tired period for acting, and he didn't want to act anything, and he couldn't meet a good role.
In order to ease the relationship with his son and to ease his emotions, Hu Jun participated in "Where Daddy Goes".
After four months of shooting, Hu Jun understood a lot, and the biggest surprise was brought by his son Kang Kang.
In the show, Kang Kang still does himself, without any baggage on his body, Hu Jun sees his original self in his son.
"If you don't have a love for a profession, then don't do it."
And that short vacation made Hu Jun once again confirm his love for acting.
Since you can't put it down, let's keep going. From the beginning of the rebellion at the age of 19, Hu Jun was destined to accompany acting for a lifetime.
In the interview, asked if he missed the era when he was young, Hu Jun looked down and thought about it.
"Should it be nostalgic, is that right, I probably appreciate my time more, I like everything I've been through." 」
Everything he experienced, for better or worse, invisibly guided him to where he is today.
And Hu Jun lived up to expectations, and was serious and down-to-earth on the road of fate.
After many years, compared with Hu Jun when he was young, he still maintains his spontaneity, but he has more peace.
As he himself said: "When I was young, I was young and strong, full of momentum, angular, and now I have my own edges and corners, but that kind of edges and corners are different from the thorns of the past." ”
People always have to grow up, but remember, the original sincerity.
