"Take care of yourself when you get over there." Wang Fuli said to her son Wang Xiao that at this time, her heart was both relieved and a little unwilling.
In February 1998, after the 20-year-old Wang Xiao said goodbye to his mother, he took a flight to Canada, and before leaving, his mother told his son not to learn performance-related majors, and he ostensibly promised his mother, but at this time Wang Xiao was thinking about the "Actor's Dream Plan" on the plane.
At that time, he did not know that his insistence on going his own way would lead him to a very difficult path.
Why did Wang Fuli oppose her son's entry into the acting industry? Why did Wang Xiao disregard the persuasion of his family and must take the path that his mother opposed?
01
Parents are the best teachers for children
In fact, Wang Xiao's mother is an important star in the show business circle, and she graduated from the famous Jiangsu Provincial Opera School. At the age of 24, he began to enter the film and television circle, starred in the movie "Water Guerrilla", and was well known to the audience with the movie "Cotai Strip" only 2 years later.
Later, for participating in "Our Cow Hundred Years Old" and "Sunrise", she won the Best Supporting Actress Award of the Hundred Flowers Award of Popular Film and the Best Supporting Actress Award of the Golden Rooster Award of Chinese Film for two consecutive years.
To this day, Wang Fuli is still active in the public eye, in 2022 she participated in "A Hundred Flowers welcoming spring", and the anti-epidemic song "Lights" she participated in was also launched this year. There is no doubt that Wang Fuli is an excellent worker in the cultural and entertainment industry.
In addition to his mother, Wang Xiao's father, Wang Qun, was also a talented man engaged in literature and art, and his acquaintance with Wang Fuli was also because of his work in the army's cultural and labor corps, and the two admired each other and eventually got married.
In 1978, Wang Xiao was born. After he was born, his parents left him directly in the care of his grandmother and grandfather due to his busy work.
Because of the "generation of relatives", Grandma and Grandpa are very doting on Wang Xiao, which directly makes him very naughty. At that time, Wang Xiao often caused trouble outside, and even many times other parents came to him to "educate" him.
One day another parent came to Wang Xiao angrily, he rudely knocked on the door, and after the unknown grandmother went to open the door, the man directly entered the house and shouted: "What about Wang Xiao? Bunny cub, I see you can run? ”
Grandma heard the other party's words and knew that her precious grandson was in trouble again, and she rushed to block in front of the man, trying to prevent him from finding Wang Xiao, but where could an old lady stop a middle-aged man.
During the dispute, the middle-aged man accidentally waved his hand, and his grandmother fell to the ground in an instant, which frightened the man, and he couldn't care less about the trouble of finding Wang Xiao and quickly fled.
When Grandpa returned home, he knew that Wang Xiao had run into trouble and was still involved with his old partner. He decided to talk to his grandson. Who knew that this talk finally asked the real reason for Wang Xiao's naughtiness.
"I just want to cause trouble, why do other children have parents with them, but my parents only come to see me once in a long time." 」 Wang Xiao replied angrily in the face of his grandfather's questioning.
It turned out that he was naughty because of the lack of parental company, but Wang Xiao's coping style also showed his stubbornness in personality, which was more obvious in later life.
02
You can, why can't I?
When Wang Xiao was 8 years old, because of his simple and generous appearance, he was favored by a director of the Pearl River Film Studio and invited him to star in a movie.
Wang Xiao is very happy, his mother is a well-known movie star, and he can take his mother's class at such a young age, which makes his heart feel very satisfied. He ran to Wang Fuli with joy, wanting to share his joy.
However, the mother's reaction was very different from Wang Xiao's own reaction, and she directly contacted the director of the play to ask him to give Wang Xiao's place to other children.
Wang Fuli's actions made Wang Xiao very angry, and he shouted: "Why can you make a movie, I can't!" When he got home, he also plunged into the bedroom, and no matter what grandma and grandpa called him, there was no response.
In fact, there is a reason why her mother did not let Wang Xiao enter the film and television circle, because she has worked hard in the entertainment circle for many years, and she has tasted the bittersweet and bittersweet of this, and she knows that the actor is not only the brilliance and beauty seen by the outside world, but more often it is very hard.
So when she learned that Wang Xiao had been selected to make movies, she immediately consulted with her husband Wang Qun, and the final result was that both of them hoped that their son would find a stable job after studying, so whenever Wang Xiao mentioned the exercise, they just said: "Study well."
These four words are the words that most parents will hang on their lips, and people who have come from the reading era know that these four words can easily cause their own anger.

This time I'm going to make my own decisions
After experiencing the first time my parents hindered my acting, Wang Xiao did not think of being a "good doll", and the more they did not let themselves act, the more I wanted to act. Wang Xiao, who is in his teens, is in a period of rebellion, and he wants to break free from the shackles of his parents.
That year, Wang Xiao had just entered junior high school, that is, this year. The school wanted to hold a large-scale cultural performance, and Wang Xiao's class decided to perform the drama "Thunderstorm".
Through self-recommendation, Wang Xiao was arranged by the teacher to play the role of "Zhou Ping", he was very happy, after getting the role he began to prepare, from reading the original book to watching the film and television works of "Thunderstorm", he spent all day thinking about the role.
However, this time, Wang Fuli "timely" blocked Wang Xiao's acting path. Because Wang Fuli entered the film and television circle very early, and as early as more than ten years ago, he became the "Four Great Huadan" with the same name as "Gong Xue", "Liu Xiaoqing" and "Pan Hong".
Therefore, Wang Xiao's every move in school will be told to his mother, this time is no exception, after Wang Xiao painstakingly prepared, he was about to start rehearsals, but the teacher told him: "You still study well, listen to your mother's words." ”
This time Wang Xiao was really angry, and from childhood to adulthood, because he was Wang Fuli's son, he had to receive special treatment.
When I was a child, I stole other people's corn cobs with my classmates, and some people would say that "that boy is Wang Fuli's son", but the last few people to eat had to be compensated by Wang Xiao alone.
After going to school, the parents of the classmates will let the teacher turn their children away from Wang Xiao, just because he is Wang Fuli's child, the children of the big stars do not have to study, and the family's money cannot be spent, so Wang Xiao has not been at the same table.
Now, just because he was Wang Fuli's son and even his hobby was to be deprived, Wang Xiao decided to resist.
For a long time afterward, he became a little in school, smoking, drinking, playing cards, and the school rules did not let students do anything he had to do, which was almost the same as when he was a child to let his parents see him.
However, what Wang Xiao did not expect was that his mother turned a blind eye to his wrong choice and would even intercede for him at school, but she could not act.
There is no way, this road does not work, then there is only another way. Wang Xiao thought, in China, you can stop me from acting, then I will simply go abroad.
Therefore, after finishing high school, Wang Xiao embarked on the road of studying abroad, and at first he chose to go to Russia to study, but after staying in Russia for a period of time, he found that Russian was too difficult, so he had to change countries to continue studying.
In 1998, Wang Xiao accompanied by her mother to the airport, ready to go to Sherdan University in Canada, the plane flew into the sky and quickly disappeared into Wang Fuli's sight, she secretly rejoiced that her son finally gave up the idea of being an actor.
However, Where is Wang Xiao a person who gives up lightly, he began to study three-dimensional animation after he went to Canada, this major will have cooperation opportunities with many film and television companies, and in the years of studying in Canada, he did know a lot of people in the film and television circle.
Later, Wang Xiao participated in "Sun Yat-sen" in 2001 after being recommended by a friend, in which he played the bodyguard of "Yuan Shikai". Although Wang Xiao was an adult at that time, the news that he got the script was still known to his mother.
Because his son has grown up, Wang Fuli is no longer able to directly find someone to deprive him of his acting qualifications as before, so he starts with his son. Because Wang Xiao, who has been abroad for several years, lacks exercise and grows very fat, his mother starts from his body shape.
"Have you ever seen a captain of the guards who is so fat, you see that Zhang Fengyi, who insists on playing every day for acting, you can't act in this size."
"Can Liang Guanhua also act?"
"With so many actors, how many Liang Guanhua can there be?" Can you have his acting skills? ”
Mother and son, you and I said one mouth at a time, and Wang Xiao gradually fell silent.
Originally thought that the son who was hit would give up, he did not expect that Wang Xiao was insisting on eating boiled vegetables every day, and also took out a run of 5 kilometers, so he insisted on it for more than half a year, and he changed from a 90-kilogram fat man to a 60-kilogram type man.
Wang Fuli did not feel a little happy to see his son work so hard, but felt that he was too stubborn, but he had already spoken out because of his size that made him give up acting, and now he had to find another excuse to break his word.
She decided to adopt the strategy of delaying the army, and she made an agreement with Wang Xiao that as long as she finished graduate school, she could act. Wang Xiao saw that his mother had given in, so he went to graduate school for a few more years. But when he returned to China after completing his studies to find his mother, the disappointment came again.
"We got you a stable job, you do it first, and then you have the opportunity to act on your own."
In fact, Wang Xiao knew that this time it was just a pretext, he decided to save some savings for a few years, so he quit his job and went to act with peace of mind. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Wang Xiao to quit his job and plunge into the road of chasing his dreams.
When Wang Fuli saw that her son was so insistent, she did not stop him anymore, but she did not intend to help Wang Xiao.
Because there was no network, Wang Xiao only had to start from running the dragon set, and after working for a while, he finally knew why his mother did not let himself act, this job was too tired.
These low-level actors are running between the various crews every day in order to act more plays, and many times they can't even eat food, not only that, if they don't act well, they will immediately receive "bad words" from the director.
Wang Xiao also felt very tired, but while he was tired, he felt that he was doing what he liked, and it was worth it to be tired. He thought, when Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei, including Zhou Xingchi, did not start from running the dragon set?
Wang Xiao's persistence paid off, and after several years of obscurity as a dragon set, he collaborated with his mother Wang Fuli on a "We Are a Family" to give him the opportunity to show his head.
Not long ago, Yang Mi's Jiaxing Media came to recruit actors, and a large number of "small fresh meat" wanted to get this opportunity, and as a result, Yang Mi finally chose 39-year-old Wang Xiao. "If nothing else, he seems to be more in line with real life," she said. ”
Later, he starred in "Si Ming Xingjun" in "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", which has a scene of "Si Ming eating fish made by the emperor", which is rehearsed back and forth dozens of times.
Wang Xiao said: "To eat this fish, you must faint after eating it and eat the people on the scene until you are embarrassed." As a result, because of Wang Xiao's insistence, Gao Weiguang's hood could not hold on and collapsed.
Later, Wang Xiao's role as the returnee elite "Huo Liankai" in "Our Marriage" also received unanimous praise from the audience.
Even when he played the charming "Yang Ke" in "Flowing Golden Years", he played a man who had the ability and story in the workplace vividly, and his popularity exceeded that of the male protagonist Dong Zijian and the famous Chen Daoming in the play.
No matter what kind of role, after Wang Xiao's interpretation, people's fantasies about the role will automatically become Wang Xiao's appearance, which is the so-called "who looks like whom".
Today's Wang Xiao is 43 years old, but the resources to invite him to shoot are more and more, in the recent hit drama "Circuit Prosecutor Group", Wang Xiao surpassed a number of old drama bones, and was rated as the best actor in this drama after Yu Hewei and Song Chunli.
To this day, Wang Xiao is still struggling on the road of acting. It is reported that he participated in the TV series "County Party Committee Compound" on the 11th of this month, and the costume drama "Wind Rises longxi" starring him will also be broadcast on the 27th of this month.
Wang Xiao is a second-generation star, but he did not rely on the help of his parents to create a world, and some people may say that he must still be related to his mother Wang Fuli, but it does not matter.
We must see that his spirit of hard work and perseverance is worth learning from each and every one of us!
