In 2016, Zhou Xun starred in the Qing Palace drama "Ruyi Chuan" for the first time.
This drama attracted half of the actresses in the entertainment industry to audition,
Every actor selected has a bunch of masterpieces on him,
Insiders have bet that this play will replicate the success of "The Biography of Zhen Huan".
However, "Ruyi Zhuan" waited for two years from the beginning of filming to the release.
During the period, it was snatched up by the Same Type and the Qing Palace Drama "Yanxi Raiders" of the same period.
And the big production with solid script and good acting skills lost badly.
A few years later, Zhou Xun starred in the TV series "Xiao MinJia" again.
This is also her first time to star in a life drama, playing a divorced mother,
However, this drama was once again viewed and word of mouth hit the street.
Zhou Xun's elf-like acting skills failed, and fans shouted to let her stay away from Wang Jun,
Who is Wang Jun, he is the director of these two dramas.
He has directed "Four Generations Together" and filmed small series such as "Little Parting" and "Little Joy".
Known as the best life drama director in China, he interprets the relationship between husband and wife and parent-child very thoroughly.
However, he himself experienced a failed marriage and is still alone, childless and childless.
Wang Jun was born in Shanghai in 1963, and his ancestral home is Nantong, Jiangsu Province.
Children born in the sixties have caught up with the changes in the environment,
The college entrance examination stopped, and young people went to the mountains and the countryside.
Wang Jun is one of the luckier ones, resuming the college entrance examination in 1977.
At that time, he was in high school, and basically did not delay his studies.
In 1979, he was admitted to the Department of Military Arts and came to Beijing to study.
In the first three years of resuming the college entrance examination, young people across the country have regained their dreams.
They pick up textbooks from fields, factories, pastures, forests, and so on.
The students in those classes were all older, and Wang Jun was the younger one in the class.
These years are also a period of domestic film and television talents gathering,
Nortel and Chinese opera were still two years and one enrollment at that time.
Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Tielin, Fang Shu and other 1980s movie stars are all Nortel 78 students.
Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei and other fifth-generation directors are also Atleverde 78.
Military Art Level 79 is also star-studded,
The 48 students in this class were all hand-picked by the dean.
The squad leader is Liu Peiqi, who is now known as the old drama bone,
And the secretary of the league branch is Liu Lili, a professional household of the mother,
She also played Zhou Xun's mother in "Xiao Min's House".
This class also came out of a popular actress Wu Yuhua,
She starred in the later Fences Woman and Dog series.
Wu Yuhua is four years older than Wang Jun, she was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang,
She laughs with the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman, but her personality is lively and generous, and she is very outgoing.
She aspired to be an actress when she was a child, but after graduating from high school, she was assigned to the countryside.
After hearing that the college entrance examination was resumed, she immediately applied for Nortel and China Opera, and as a result, both schools eliminated her.
Wu Yuhua was unwilling to apply for the military art again, and as a result, he was successfully admitted and was also known as the school flower of the military art.
At that time, Wu Yuhua was very excited to return to school, plus she had two years of experience in going to the countryside.
Looks very mature, does not have the childishness of a girl on his face,
On the contrary, there is a bit of a dignified atmosphere of mature women.
Wu Yuhua was also one of the first students in the class to be picked up to shoot a drama.
Soon it became famous in school, and there were many boys who liked it.
However, the rules and regulations of military art are very strict, and militarized management is adopted.
It is absolutely not allowed to fall in love, and everyone can only hide their likes in their hearts.
But there were many legends about Wu Yuhua at that time, and there were often private discussions about who she was with.
Wang Jun is also one of the crushes, but he does not dare to express,
Wu Yuhua prefers older and more experienced classmates, and often chats with them endlessly.
Wang Jun entered the military art after graduating from high school, and he was also young, and he looked like a hairy boy in the eyes of many classmates.
But Wang Jun has a persistent love for drama in his bones.
He likes to read books, study performances, and has a very solid business.
And fortunately, after graduation, he was assigned to the Nanjing Frontline Literary and Labor Corps together with the goddess Wu Yuhua.
Originally, Wu Yuhua had the opportunity to stay in Beijing, and many literary and labor troupes competed for her.
But maybe she has a flamboyant personality and is not an obedient student,
The school assigned her to Nanjing.
Wang Jun and Wu Yuhua became colleagues from classmates,
Often rehearse plays and performances together, and have more opportunities for communication,
Only then did the two realize that there were so many common languages.
In particular, there is a surprisingly consistent view of the performance.
Because of their common hobbies, the two quickly came together,
It didn't take long to get married, but after marriage, the two had completely different careers.
Wu Yuhua's films are constant, from movies to TV series are mostly heroines,
Especially after starring in "Fences Woman and Dog" and "Longing",
With the fire of these two dramas, she became a popular actress, and everywhere she went, everyone called her Jujube.
Wang Jun is just the opposite, he was originally only interested in stage dramas, but forced to take some film and television dramas for his livelihood.
In 1985, the unit recommended him to appear in a movie.
But during the interview, the director looked at him and said it was inappropriate.
Wang Jun suddenly realized that if he became an actor, his future career would all be in the hands of the director.
So why not just go directly to directing?
So Wang Jun was ready to apply for the graduate school of directing in Chinese opera,
At that time, one of the subjects that graduate students had to take was English.
But the acting department did not have this course, and did not learn much in middle school.
Wang Jun's first challenge as a graduate student was English.
He began to listen to the English radio every day, and spent all his time outside of work every day to review.
His wife Wu Yuhua is also very supportive of his ideas,
The couple are busy, but the same goal is to go to Beijing.
Kung Fu pays off, Wang Jun is finally admitted to the Chinese opera,
The husband and wife both resigned and came to Beijing, when many literary and labor groups extended olive branches to Wu Yuhua.
Not only can it help her solve the hukou problem, but also provide a stable income and residence.
But Wu Yuhua refused, she believes that actors should be free,
If you want to shoot any scene, you will shoot it, instead of being bound by the unit,
She was also one of the few self-employed actors of that era.
This also seriously affected her later development.
Many of the film and television dramas of the 1980s and 1990s were invested by TV stations.
Naturally, I will find an actress from a public institution to serve as the main actor,
Many actors have to hang up in the literary troupe even if they are filming outside.
The troupe rushed back to shoot dramas as long as they needed them.
Today's entertainment industry is still the same situation,
Netizens joked that the end of the star is the examination editor, but now the star has more ways to make money.
At that time, Wu Yuhua was free to shoot outside,
And Wang Jun is immersed in the study of professional, the outside world seems that the couple is strong and male is weak,
Wu Yuhua's career is better, but the relationship between the two has not been affected.
In 1991, Wang Jun graduated from Chinese opera, and he entered the General Political Affairs Literary and Labor Troupe as a director.
In the year of graduation, he won numerous awards for the opera "Daughter of the Party".
He has gained a little fame in the theater industry and his talent has also been recognized.
But drama is not profitable in the past and today.
Although Wang Jun directed several good works, he could only get a fixed salary.
And he can't watch outside film and television dramas, advertising shooting, and is not willing to earn extra money.
At this time, Wang Jun and Wu Yuhua had been married for several years,
At first, both of them agreed not to have children and to be a Dink.
But as she grew older, Wu Yuhua wanted to be a mother,
She began to discuss with Wang Jun about having a child, and the family of three was more than happy.
Wang Jun has always remembered what his teacher said when he was in college,
Children without a career will not be filial to you when they are old.
Perhaps it is the fame and lack of profit in the career for many years that makes Wang Jun have inferiority in materials.
He resolutely rejected Wu Yuhua's suggestion and resolutely refused to have children.
This incident has also become a knot in the couple's feelings,
The two people, who had gathered less and more, began to quarrel and divorced within a few years.
After Wu Yuhua met the painter Mo Dafeng, the two entered the palace of marriage.
After giving birth to a son and a daughter after marriage, she finally realized her wish to be a mother.
She also put down her career and shifted her entire focus to life, gradually disappearing from the screen.
And Wang Jun later worked hard in the field of drama for many years,
In 1998, he spent all his efforts directing the drama "Qu Yuan",
For this drama, I hardly ate or slept, and stayed up for several months.
After the performance of "Qu Yuan", it was praised by industry insiders, but the attendance rate was not ideal.
Wang Jun took the actor on a national tour, playing a loss,
Once again, he began to doubt his profession.
Since the 1990s, the domestic film and television industry has flourished,
There have been many excellent works, and a lot of OST has also been sung,
Zhao Baogang is one of the well-known directors.
Wang Jun and Zhao Baogang not only know each other but also neighbors, the two live upstairs and downstairs,
It became common for him to go to Zhao Baogang's house to rub rice.
In 1997, Zhao Baogang filmed Haiyan's work "A Matter of Wind and Snow and Snow".
This drama has achieved great response, and the word of mouth and ratings are very good.
One day Wang Jun borrowed this set of DVDs to watch at home.
He was shocked when he saw it, it turned out that the TV series could be filmed so beautifully,
He watched all 20 episodes in one sitting that day, and then decided to make a TV series.
Wang Jun has also filmed several TV series before, but most of them are mission dramas in the group.
The main line is clear, there is not much room to play, and now he shoots a popular drama like Zhao Baogang.
In 2000, Wang Jun and Zhao Baogang collaborated on the first TV series "Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind".
This is also the first time That Wang Jun has cooperated with Zhou Xun and accidentally made a classic.
In the play, whether it is the young Sun Honglei or the young Chen Kun and Lu Yi,
There is also the amazing Li Xiaoran, these people are still the strength of the circle,
It is still a ceiling-level work today.
After the great success of this drama, Wang Jun's ambition was ignited,
He also left the General Political Department to sign a contract under Zhao Baogang's company, and the two began to work closely together.
Both of them are actors, and they agreed when they were not yet famous in the early years,
With a good work, you must think about each other and leave a role for each other,
Zhao Baogang really did it, letting Wang Jun star in "Farewell to Vancouver".
In the play, Wang Jun plays a rich businessman With a strong desire to control, Yu Shixiong,
He is also a typical representative of the first generation of domestic violence men.
This drama is also directed by him and Zhao Baogang,
After the two began to cooperate, he gradually embarked on the peak of his career.
Especially after Zhao Baogang broke up with Haiyan, he continued to shoot Haiyan's works.
Filmed "The Sun Blooms Like a Flower" and "Gold Earrings",
Although these are all love-hate love and hatred of young people, they are very popular in the market.
After finally gaining a certain degree of fame, Wang Jun finally had the capital to shoot the works he really liked.
So there was the "Four Worlds Together" and "The Ang of the Firmament" later,
Both shows were highly rated, but there was no fire.
Zhao Baogang also cameo in "Four Worlds Together", which also allowed Wang Jun to gain another friend, Huang Lei,
After that, the two collaborated on the 'small' series of works, and Huang Lei served as a screenwriter in addition to starring.
In addition to being a good actor, Huang Lei is also a good cook, and friends often come to his house to rub rice.
Once Wang Jun wanted to go to his house for dinner, Huang Lei asked him to come over on Wednesday or Thursday.
As a result, Wang Jun said that it was okay to go over on Friday, which was my birthday.
After the divorce, Wang Jun has been single, and originally Zhao Baogang, Liu Xinwu and other friends had to be Dink.
People often get together, just like when they were young.
As a result, friends regretted it one after another, gave birth to a baby as a parent, and Wang Jun seemed even more lonely.
Huang Lei specially made him a cake and made a table of dishes for his own children.
In 2011, Zhao Baogang directed "Man Gang" and found a group of his friends to star,
The three male protagonists are Sun Honglei, Huang Lei, and Wang Jun, all of whom are good brothers.
During the filming of this drama, everyone was like a family who drank and chatted after work every day.
At this time, Wang Juncai did not seem so lonely.
But compared to being a director, Wang Jun is more nervous as an actor.
Especially with the two film emperors, the room where he lives is spread out everywhere,
The chaos is chaotic, the other actors have family visits, and he is still alone.
However, it is such a lonely Wang Jun who always likes to shoot works with family themes.
Focusing on parent-child relationship and husband-wife relationship, we have also achieved good results.
But "Ruyi Zhuan" really made Wang Jun overturn, this drama has been a big production from the beginning of preparation,
He originally wanted to make a ukiyo-e court drama, from the costume to the script is very elaborate,
And it took nine months to shoot, which is almost the time to shoot three dramas.
However, as soon as this drama began to broadcast, it was overturned because of the makeup of the young girl Zhou Xun.
At that time, Zhou Xun was 42 years old, and he still had to play a teenage girl, which was against the law.
And the beginning is still the last to shoot until the end of the qingqing, because Wang Jun did not think about how to start,
At that time, Zhou Xun had been shooting for nine months, and the whole person's state was not good.
After being photogenic, there is no girlishness, no elf-like texture.
Compared with the same type of Qing Palace drama, the production of "Ruyi Zhuan" is indeed very sophisticated,
It satisfies Wang Jun's pursuit of art, but does not gain the favor of the market.
People who do art are always lonely, just like Wang Jun,
Today, at the age of 59, he looks much younger than his peers.
But childless, childless, and unmarried, he is probably much lonelier than his peers.
And Wang Jun has not given up the family drama, it is said that "Little Joy" will shoot a sequel,
Perhaps the family affection and love in the play have satisfied Wang Jun's imagination of family.
