Zhang Xiaolei
Speaking of Zhang Xiaolei, there are many people who may be a little unfamiliar with this name,
But mentioning the "Qing coffee mother-in-law" in "Life in Two Cities" should be very familiar.
As a "female leader", from "Life in Two Cities" to "Weaning" to "My Family's Spring, Autumn, Winter and Summer", Zhang Xiaolei won the love and appreciation of the audience with her unique performance method.
In fact, as an old drama bone, Zhang Xiaolei became famous earlier, and as early as the 1980s, he became extremely popular, and won many awards such as the Best Actress Award of the "Golden Rooster Award" of Chinese films, the Outstanding Actress Award of the "Feitian Award" of Chinese Television, and many other honors.
In addition to acting, Zhang Xiaolei is also a good hand in business.
She once went to the mall at the peak of her acting career, and ran the advertising agency well, but later she found that she could not put down the movie, so she returned to the film and television circle to take over two plays, without exception, both won awards.
The media commented: "Acting is a talent and a fate for Zhang Xiaolei. ”

Zhang Xiaolei, born in 1957 in Shandong, her father was a soldier, because of the transfer of troops, at the age of 6, she went with her parents to Ningbo, Zhejiang.
Zhang Xiaolei's parents
Zhang Xiaolei has been a beauty billet since she was a child, because she has a handsome father and a super beautiful mother, she said that her mother has a pair of sweet dimples, which are passed on to her sister, and she has not been assigned.
But her appearance inherited her father, with edges and angles, less soft, more heroic, but as she grew older, she also became more and more feminine, making people unable to open their eyes.
Although no one in the family engaged in art, Zhang Xiaolei was influenced by peking opera model dramas since childhood, and secretly made up her mind to be the best Li Tiemei in China, so at the age of 13, she was admitted to the Ningbo Peking Opera Troupe despite her family's opposition.
In the troupe, Zhang Xiaolei studied Hua Dan, where a strong sense of drama educated her, and she was also very attentive, holding the level of performance very stable.
Early Years Zhang Xiaolei
But later, Zhang Xiaolei found that she did not like the repeated practice of the Peking Opera, and she preferred improvised film and television performances.
Zhang Xiaolei has been a self-aware person since she was a child, she knows what she likes and hates, and when she was still interested in Peking Opera when she was young, she tried to pursue it, even if her parents opposed it, she also had to take the test.
But when she actually went in to experience it, she found that she didn't like repetitive performances, and for most people, maybe even if they didn't like it, it was just like that, after eight years of study, if you change something else, you have to start over.
But Zhang Xiaolei did not think so, she had courage, her whole life has been following her own likes, when she figured out that she liked improvisation, she gave up studying Peking Opera for eight years, and was admitted to the acting department of the Shanghai Theater Academy in 1978.
02 About dreams
I can't do anything, I can only act.
Zhang Xiaolei once commented on herself in this way, so when she went to the theater to study, she made four movies, which were earlier than the debut of her classmates in the same period. Zhang Xiaolei has been deeply loved by teachers since the day she was admitted to the theater, because the teacher found that she was a good seedling.
Therefore, I was particularly fond of her, and at that time, I generally did not let students go out to shoot, but because she was a good seedling recognized by the teacher, she was also very competitive, and her grades were not bad.
So when others couldn't go out and shoot movies, she had already made four movies during college and had already become famous in the circle.

After graduating from acting, Zhang Xiaolei was assigned to the film studio and officially embarked on the road of acting.
After that, Zhang Xiaolei made films such as "Xizi Girl" and "Acacia Girls' Shop", and with these two films, he won the First Academy Award of the China Film Performance Society, the "Meritorious Service Award" of the Guangdong Film Festival, and the Best Actress Nomination of the 7th Golden Rooster Award of Chinese Film.
Zhang Xiaolei's film career is in full swing, and in time she will definitely become a thriving in the film and television circle.
But just when everyone thought that she would continue to develop in this way, she suddenly made a surprising decision and transferred from the film and television circle to Shanghai to set up an advertising company.
Zhang Xiaolei's different screen is ten years.
However, in the past ten years, she has run an advertising agency in full swing, earning no less money than filming; in addition, she has completed life events in this decade, met true love, and had children.
Talking about why in the rising period of the film career, I gave up movies and went to the sea to do business, Zhang Xiaolei said: "At that time, I was young and did not understand things, watching a lot of films was proud, plus I had children, I didn't want to shoot more. ”
However, as the advertising agency got better and better, and the children gradually grew up, Zhang Xiaolei found that her heart was actually the most difficult to put down was still acting, so after ten years of separation, she came back again.

03 Comeback double "king fried"
In 1995, zhang Xiaolei, invited by friends, made a comeback to shoot two dramas, "Alishan Girl" and "Pediatrician".
Unexpectedly, these two dramas became Zhang Xiaolei's comeback double "Wang Bang", "Alishan Girl" won the national "Horse Award" Best Actress Award, "Pediatrician" won the "Feitian Award" Best Actress Award, this award is still zhang Xiaolei's teacher, the old artist Jiao Huang personally awarded to her.
Although the comeback played the "king fried", it seems that it is always almost so hot.
Her teachers, classmates and friends were all optimistic about Zhang Xiaolei, and the teacher said, "Xiaolei, you want to become the best actor in China." The friend said, "Xiao Lei, you need to take more plays." ”

Every now and then, Zhang Xiaolei understands in his heart that although it is a fact that he won the award, it is also a fact that he acted well.
But this is not a satisfactory result, she thinks that this may be the drama she has acted in is too heavy, and the audience does not like to watch.
In the eyes of insiders, she is a good actor, but they also understand that she is also an actor without a "market", so many people will praise her good acting, but the investor will not invest in an actor without a market, and Zhang Xiaolei has not had the opportunity to get a good role.
She understands that even if she is not convinced, there is no way, she knows that she has strength, and she wants to prove that she has a "market", so she holds her breath and waits for a role that the audience can remember.

05 "Qing Coffee Mother-in-Law" Yang Manli
Kung Fu pays off, it is gold, it will always shine.
Zhang Xiaolei has the intelligence, shrewdness and steadfastness of Ningbo people, and while waiting, she filmed the scenes scatteredly, and finally waited for a role that surprised everyone at the age of 54.
This role is Yang Manli's "Qingjia Mother-in-Law" in "Life in Two Cities", known as "female leader".
At that time, after the launch of "Twin Cities Life", "Yang Manli" was on fire almost overnight, and for most viewers, she was like a star falling from the sky and rising, and everyone thought that she was a newcomer actor who deliberately dressed up as an old man.

In fact, it was not, she was originally more than half a hundred years old, and when she reached the age of being a mother-in-law, she was in her fifties and appeared younger than the average mother-in-law.
Zhang Xiaolei waited for this day, waited for thirty years, after the broadcast of "Life in Two Cities", she was really on fire, overnight, interviews, film appointments, brokerage companies have come to the door.
Zhang Xiaolei's "Yang Manli" was on fire, and some people called her "Qing Coffee", because she only drank Qing Coffee, even if she had never been to the Uk, she still insisted on teaching her daughter-in-law to enjoy standard British afternoon tea.
At first, everyone couldn't stand her work, but as the plot developed, the more you looked back, the more everyone liked this "Qing coffee mother-in-law".
After the "Qing coffee" was on fire, Zhang Xiaolei called his teacher: "I did it." ”
The teacher was genuinely happy for her, and he knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, because he always knew that she was a good seedling.
Many people after watching "Life in Two Cities" think that "Yang Manli" is a Shanghainese, thinking that Zhang Xiaolei is the same as the character.
In fact, people who know her know that she and "zuo" are not half related, and she is not a Shanghainese, her ancestral home is Shandong, grew up in Ningbo, dressed casually in life, does not drink Qing coffee, and her personality is also quite "grandfather".

It is precisely because of this that the actor's acting skills are more tested.
When Zhang Xiaolei received this role, she began to speculate, because she had nothing to do with "Yang Manli" in life, but she wanted to integrate herself into this role.
She tangled between "elegance" and "work" at first, and finally she made a trade-off, giving up some noble things on the character, and then putting some small feelings of "doing" in the eyebrows and expressions, so that the image that came out was more interesting and more flattering.
Sure enough, "Yang Manli" sat firmly on the "position of being a female leader" as soon as she went online, and after becoming popular, the roles similar to "Qing coffee" were all looking for Zhang Xiaolei to play, for her she was not afraid to play the same type of role, as long as it was a good work, she would take it, because even if it was the same type, she could perform a different flavor.
For example, "Wu Fei" in "Weaning", "Zhang Zhaodi" in "My Family's Spring, Autumn, Winter and Summer", etc.
Becoming popular in the past half a hundred years is a fortunate thing for Zhang Xiaolei, and it is also a matter of course, because she has been preparing, she is not the kind of person who waits in vain under the fruit tree for the fruit to be harvested, she will often water, even if there is no harvest in the end.
Fortunately, in the end, her "gold" finally shined and shined, so that more people could see it. So she also hopes that those who are like her, like a thing, must always maintain their own state, first refine themselves into gold.
Because in fact, the opportunity is fair for most people, if the opportunity comes, because of their own reasons did not grasp it, it will be a pity, and the fate should come, you are ready, there is no reason not to be brilliant.
06 Winners in life
Zhang Xiaolei has done it, and now that she is 64 years old, she is still active on the screen, and has also participated in dozens of popular dramas such as "Negotiator", "Obstetrician", "My Baby", "Dare to Love", "My Youth Meets You", "Let Me Understand Your Language" and so on.
In addition to his career success, Zhang Xiaolei is also a big winner in the family.
It's just that over the years, because of the low profile, many people who like her do not know that she has a family, in fact, as mentioned earlier, in the ten years from 1985 to 1995, she completed the two major events of marriage and children.
Because there are many people who don't know, after the launch of "Life in Two Cities", they also carefully asked her if she was a mother-in-law in real life? She also responded generously, saying that she was not a mother-in-law, but had a son, and that the son had reached adulthood and had a girlfriend and planned to get married.
And now it is 2022, she has become a real "Qing coffee mother-in-law", has become a happy grandmother, the little granddaughter is six years old, and this little granddaughter is also as beautiful and cute as her, she also said that she wants to teach her to act, but also to the circle to mix the world.
Zhang Xiaolei's state has always been very good, although it is also the year of Hua Jia,
But her figure has always been well maintained, which is the result of her years of persistent exercise.
Zhang Xiaolei is a very attractive person, in her, you can see both the delicate elegance of the southerners, but also the cheerfulness and arrogance of the northerners, perhaps this is also in line with her name.
In the past, others heard her name and thought it was a man, but after "Life in Two Cities" became popular, "Qingjia Mother-in-law" became her pronoun, and she did not mind: "At least the audience will not mistakenly think that I am an actor because of the name." ”
People who are familiar with Zhang Xiaolei like her unique calmness and temperament.
She is not afraid of the old, nor does she envy the young, she believes that every age has its own things to do, there is no need to hide, and each age has its own beauty, about others ask her if she has any maintenance experience.
She said: "Grasp the moment and live every day." Don't think too much, think too much to miss the things in front of you, but also affect eating and sleeping, walk steadily every step, one day, you will be brilliant. ”
This sentence seems simple, but she has used decades of practice, and the facts have proved to be low-key, practical work, life has its own scenery.
The writer Kuan Kuan said: "People who are sober and have pursuits can live a moist life anywhere, but a higher pursuit of life needs to be more respectful of their own choices to achieve." ”
In the film and television circle for decades, Zhang Xiaolei clearly knows what he is pursuing, whether it is eight years in the Beijing Theater Troupe, or admitted to the theater school as an actor;
Or maybe she chose to go to the sea to do business during the rising period of her career, and then returned to the second spring of her career in the film and television industry.
Zhang Xiaolei has been cultivating, whether she is successful or not, she maintains her own state, integrates with life steadily, firmly moves according to her heart, and strives to grow upwards, she is a good example.
