Xu Di is a famous "mother professional" in the circle, but unlike the actresses who generally play mothers, Xu Di's image is not bloated, does not look old, and she has a charming temperament when she carefully wears makeup.
In the TV series "The First Half of My Life", Xu Di played Ms. Xue Zhenzhu, a snobbish and snobbish Shanghai citizen, and won the Magnolia Award at the Shanghai TV Festival for this role. But who would have thought that Xu Di, who is proficient in Shanghainese in the play, is actually a standard Beijinger!
When she was young, Xu Di was not an ordinary person. Xu Di was born in 1958, and her family has three golden flowers, which are her most beautiful.
When she was a child, Xu Di's dream was to become an honorable worker and peasant soldier. At the age of 17, Xu Di faced the problem of further education, but the college entrance examination had not resumed at that time. It was also a coincidence, coinciding with the enrollment of Beijing Opera School, Xu Di discussed with her family and decided to apply for the Beijing Opera Troupe.
When Xu Di was still young, she didn't pay as much attention to it as the children who are now taking the North Film and Chinese Opera, so she went on stage to recite a text. But her good image and beautiful voice easily impressed the judges and teachers, and Xu Di entered the drama school in this way.
Xu Di, who came from an ordinary family, had received any artistic edification before, stupidly followed her classmates to practice her voice and legs, suffered a lot, and forced her alto voice to a new height.
At the age of 32, Xu Di was accepted as a closed disciple by the opera artist Mr. Wei Xikui.
Since then, Wei Xikui has strictly disciplined and carefully cultivated Xu Di, and Xu Di's opera level has reached a new level.
Under Wei Xikui's words and deeds, Xu Di gradually became a national first-class actor. Unfortunately, when Xu Di won the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award at the age of 39, his mentor Wei Xikui was no longer alive. This has also become a regret in Xu Di's life.
After many years of Master's death, Xu Di recalled the meaning of what Wei Xikui had said to her. Wei Xikui once told Xu Di on the phone that the performance should be serious and not opportunistic... This stingy master of opera taught Xu Di the true essentials of learning.
However, under the tide of marketization, it is difficult for small dramas to survive, and although Xu Di is skilled in opera, there are not many performance opportunities. But years of accumulation still gave Xu Di the opportunity to shine. In a chance encounter, director Liu Wentian extended an olive branch to Xu Di and asked her to play a role in the TV series "The Lens Reaches Out to the Miscellaneous Courtyard".
This "electric shock" opened another door of art for Xu Di. But Xu Di did not give up the art of opera because she was anxious to become famous and make money. Seven years later, she met TV viewers again in the CCTV drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Mrs. Gan played by Xu Di is dignified and virtuous, with a unique charm.
Due to her excellent acting skills, Xu Di was invited by more directors to participate in the filming of TV series, and played many popular classic roles, such as Li Xinru in "Love You Without Negotiation", Li Ping in "Start and Stop", Li Zhen in "Idler Sister", Xia Qiuhong in "A Thousand Calamities in Love", Cuihuaniang in "My Father and Mother", Da Biaozi in "The Woman Who Waded Through the River of Men", and Peony Niang in "House Door Reverse", Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in "Young Tianzi" and so on.
Modern dramas, costume dramas, comedy, dramas, suspense dramas, what Xu Di plays like. Due to too many film contracts, Xu Di's troupe once withheld her film contract and did not give it to her, and Xu Di later accepted an apprentice named Wang Yu in order to better inherit the opera. After Xu Di retired at the age of 50, she finally devoted herself to TV series creation with "free agency".
Because of the filming of TV series, Xu Di, who has a straightforward personality, has made many friends in the circle, the older generation includes Song Dandan, Pan Hong, Wei Qiming, Lei Kesheng, etc., and the younger generation has Wu Yue, Zuo Xiaoqing, Ma Yili, Lei Jiayin, etc.
As a national first-class actor who has debuted for many years, Xu Di has the capital to ask for some "privileges" in the crew, but Xu Di did not do this, but performed conscientiously and treated every role with heart.
The mother and mother-in-law she played are particularly realistic and vivid, as if they live around us, and Xu Di has also been recognized by many audiences.
Xu Di became a "mother professional household", thanks to her husband Yu Jianwei.
The two are each other's first love, and they saw the right eye at the age of 17 in the drama school. At first, they also looked at each other unpleasantly, but later they went through most of their lives.
After Xu Di filmed the TV series, because she was too busy with work, Yu Jianwei silently took on housework and assistant work behind her back, and no matter how much money Xu Di earned, she would leave it to her husband who was one year older than herself to take care of when she went home. The husband and wife have a clear division of labor, and life is enjoyable.
When people reach middle age, their acting careers have entered a benign development track, but Yu Jianwei and Xu Di's bodies have a problem.
First Yu Jianwei was found to have hemangiomas, and then Xu Di had menopausal syndrome, became irritable, insomnia all night, and played games on the computer every day. The two comforted and cared for each other at the trough of each other's lives, and later both recovered their health.
In order to take care of her sick husband and take care of the operation for him, Xu Di did not take the play for half a year; And Yu Jianwei was also carefully accompanied by Xu Di during the days when Xu Di was depressed, patiently enlightened, and did not let his wife worry about things outside the home.
The two respect and love each other, a lifetime of "revolutionary friendship" is indestructible, and there is a handsome son.
In 2015, Xu Di's only son Yu Zibo got married. Under the careful cultivation of his parents, the young man was not only admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, but also became a well-known sound recordist in the circle.
And Xu Di's daughter-in-law Liu Yanru is an assistant director in the circle, not only has strong working ability, but also looks very beautiful, and has cooperated with Yu Zibo in "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad". The inheritance of family customs between the two generations is harmonious and harmonious, which can be called a model of a happy home.
Today, the 64-year-old Xu Di is still active on the TV screen, buying groceries, playing the piano, and traveling with friends when she is not filming. Because they live in Beijing together, their filial son and daughter-in-law often go home to visit the elder couple.
Xu Di in private, does not dress up, but does not lose her noble temperament, even at an age, the foundation of the lines is still good, is a lot of juniors love and respect the old drama bones, old-timers.
Such an old artist with both virtue and art deserves more applause. It is expected that Xu Di will bring more classic roles to the audience, of course, under the premise of taking care of her body.
