In the current entertainment industry, if an artist wants to become popular, it can be said that three points rely on hard work, and seven points rely on appearance.
Don't look at the many artists who are "buffoons" in the circle, but only those are well known to the outside world.
In addition to making efforts unimaginable to the outside world, they can become famous, and it is indispensable for nobles to carry them.
It's like the "ten billion movie emperor" Huang Bo entered the industry in the early days, because his appearance was too bumpy and was despised by all kinds, he was obviously introduced by the assistant director, and the director saw him, a sentence of "this is not fooling around", leaving Huang Bo alone in the wind messy.
There are too many things like this, but fortunately, Huang Bo met three nobles.
Among them, Ning Hao helped him the most, otherwise he would not be able to achieve the Huang Bo he is today.
Once, Yang Di was also refused to let him go on stage to present awards because of his ugly appearance.
Fortunately, he met Xie Na, who helped Yang Di go from an unknown imitation comedian to a pillar in major variety shows.
But the characters we are talking about today are not the above two, but they are even more exaggerated than them.
When you see what he looks like, you will know what a sharp-billed monkey gills are.
When he was not famous, Juxingmao was asserted by the villagers: "If you look so ugly, you will definitely not be able to marry a daughter-in-law." ”
Later, he was evaluated by the audience as ugly than Huang Bo. Even the actors he worked with described him as being in the same frame as holding a monkey or a chicken, which looked quite funny.
However, now Juxingmao is worth hundreds of millions, not only successfully transformed from actor to director, but also married a beautiful girl.
Sure enough, people can't look good, how did Ju Xingmao counterattack? Next is the life of this "buffoon".
01. Failure is also ugly, and success is also ugly
Ju Xingmao was born in 1981 in an unknown mountain village in Shanxi Province.
Both parents were farmers and lived by farming.
When he was a baby, Juxingmao looked normal.
Everyone praised Juxingmao's parents: "Your child is white and fat, and he must be blessed." ”
However, when it was time to go to school, Juxingmao's appearance changed dramatically.
Black and thin replaced by white and fat, small eyes and big buckteeth, like a little mouse, and the height behind it grew to 166 and stopped.
The image of the sharp-billed monkey cheeks made Ju Xingmao ridiculed by his neighbors and classmates.
The child is not sensible, speaks lightly, and gives Ju Xingmao an insulting nickname like a mouse spirit.
Adults make fun of him for being so ugly, and when he grows up, he will definitely not be able to marry a daughter-in-law.
Coupled with Ju Xingmao's poor study, the teachers did not want to see him.
Throughout his childhood, the only people who still loved him endlessly as a child were his parents.
With the love of his parents, although Juxingmao grew up in a mocking environment, he did not have serious inferiority.
When he was in the third grade of primary school, Ju Xingmao met director Li Shaohong and brought the crew to the village to shoot, and it just so happened that there was a lack of a small actor in the crew to play "satisfied", so he went to join in the fun.
Although he was ridiculed by other children that he should not come, Ju Xingmao did not back down: "How do you know if you don't try it?" ”
Ju Xingmao actively raised his hand to challenge, and Li Shaohong really took a fancy to him, in the words of Director Li: "This kid is too ugly." ”
In this way, Ju Xingmao starred in his first movie with that face with memory points.
The filming period was very smooth, which was mainly due to Li Shaohong's casual guidance, and he could quickly comprehend.
Director Li praised Juxingmao with satisfaction: "Kid, you are very talented. ", the senior actors who cooperated also said to him that he performed well.
Ju Xingmao, who is rarely affirmed, has been greatly satisfied in the crew, and he has quietly set a goal of becoming an actor in the future.
It's just that the speaker has no intention, and the listener has a heart.
Li Shaohong did not pay attention to Ju Xingmao, and packed his bags and left after filming.
Juxing Maotong felt lost, but he thought that as long as he looked forward to it, another crew would come to the village to film.
However, naïve he waited for three years, but he could not wait for the opportunity to act.
Even he had poor academic performance, so he completely abandoned his studies.
Parents hate that iron is not steel, and can only hope that their son will be lost.
As a result, Ju Xingmao learned that the fellow who returned from the city said that there were many opportunities for filming there, and he was excited to find his parents: "You can film in the city, take me there!" ”
At first, the parents were very distressed about the fare of more than 100 kilometers round trip, but they still relented under their son's soft grinding.
They took Juxingmao and dry food on the road to the city, and when they came here, they really had a lot of crews as the fellow said, and there were opportunities everywhere.
So, Ju Xingmao casually caught a staff member and recommended himself: "Do you still recruit group performances?" I have acted in Li Shaohong's play. ”
While thinking that this child was really unlikeable, the staff took him to see Director He Ping.
Knowing that Ju Xingmao had played Li Shaohong's play, Director He was very relieved to give him the role of "Brother Dou" in the filming "Cannon Doubles".
This character setting is extremely ugly, which just fits the image of Ju Xingmao.
Coupled with the experience of playing a clown for the first time, the second time he has already arrived.
It's just that after the broadcast of "Cannon Doubles", the small supporting role played by Ju Xingmao was not remembered by the outside world.
Ju Xingmao is naturally very unwilling, and his wish is to have a scene every day.
But I don't know if after performing this play, there is any crew willing to take him in.
Later, when he heard that there were more opportunities in Beijing than in his hometown, he was moved.
So, after finishing junior high school, Ju Xingmao's parents were persuaded by their son: "You can go, but if you can't, you can come back to farm as soon as possible!" ”
02, 14-year-old boy Beidrift, what kind of challenge is he meeting?
Coming to Beijing, Juxingmao was attracted by the prosperity of this big city.
But he knew what to do here, and he was not distracted.
Ju Xingmao first took a "satisfied" stage name, and then went to major crews non-stop to recommend himself for playing the plays directed by Li Shaohong and He Ping.
However, this trick failed in Beijing.
There are many opponents who compete with him for a role, and they have not only played Li Shaohong's plays, but even big directors like Chen Kaige Zhang Yimou are not uncommon.
Ju Xingmao's resume is unattractive, and even he will be ostracized again because of his appearance in the crew.
It may be that he has been accustomed to hearing such ridicule since he was a child, and Juxingmao has long been immune and not angry.
To say that the most profound influence on Ju Xingmao is still unable to act, which led him to quickly run out of money and can only rent the cheapest basement in Beijing.
In order to fight for more opportunities, he was reluctant to go to dinner all day.
Over time, Juxingmao developed severe malnutrition, and his height was finally fixed at 166cm anymore.
Later, Juxingmao thought clearly.
Since normal roles can't be received, it's better to use personal advantages to continue to play clowns, than to have no drama to film.
It's a pity that there is very little demand for buffoons in the market, and it is already very good to wait for it once in two months.
Ju Xingmao stayed in Beijing for a year and did not get a few roles.
Falling into the bottom, he remembered his parents' advice to go home and farm if he couldn't be an actor.
In self-doubt, Ju Xingmao still did not have the courage to choose to go home in such an embarrassing way.
The helpless Ju Xingmao can only temporarily give up being an actor, turn around and become a venue attendant, relying on miscellaneous food to eat.
When he saw Ju Xingmao at a young age, he came out to act and work, and some kind colleagues couldn't bear it, so they often brought him some good food to help.
The good deeds of good people moved Ju Xingmao.
Later, I heard that after graduating from film school, there was no shortage of filming, and he rekindled his hope.
Next, Ju Xingmao began to read while doing miscellaneous.
As a result, when I arrived at the film school, I successfully passed the written exam, but the interview was brushed down because of appearance problems.
Just when Juxingmao wondered for the second time whether he should listen to his parents and go home to farm, he ushered in a turning point in his life.
In 1999, director Shen Tingting was filming "How Much Love Can Come Again", and a rich second-generation role in it has not been decided for a long time.
Because Shen Dao really doesn't know how to highlight the exaggerated image of the character who is very rich, if he is old-fashioned and surrounded by luxury cars and beautiful women, it will be too general.
It wasn't until Ju Xingmao's interview that the director's eyes brightened.
Instead of finding a rich and handsome actor, it is better to play something new and let the ugly person highlight the character that is rich.
Not only do you succeed in finding the feeling you want, but you can also impress the outside world, which is the best of both worlds.
As expected by the director, Ju Xingmao relied on this role to make a small fire, and thus won the opportunity to star in the big production "Swordsman".
In this drama, Ju Xingmao played not many scenes of "Tao Shixian", but with his flexible acting skills, he attracted Guo Jingyu's attention.
However, at this time, Guo Jingyu is only a scene reporter, and it is not yet time to become a director.
Ju Xingmao also didn't know that this short-eyed field mark would become his noble person in the future.
03, from the "buffoon" successfully crossed over to the director, worth hundreds of millions, won a beautiful wife
In 2004, Guo Jingyu has become a director and directed several dramas, with good results.
This year, he cooperated with Sun Honglei, Wu Yue and other powerful people in "I am not a hero".
And Director Guo specially gave a very prominent image of the clown "Lai Zi" in the play to Ju Xingmao, who had impressed him before.
Guo Jingyu's vision is right, Ju Xingmao played Lai Ziwei's appearance very well.
Sun Honglei carried him like a chicken, and the contrast between the two standing together was extremely impressive.
Guo Jingyu was excited about discovering the treasure of Juxingmao, and highly praised him for stealing the limelight of his opponents no matter what role he played, no matter how small the role was.
Guo Jingyu and Ju Xingmao also formed a deep friendship because of this drama.
So, in 2008, he found Juxingmao to cooperate.
At this time, Guo Jingyu can already be regarded as a noble person in the strict sense of Juxingmao, because a year later, he once again disregarded the aesthetic fatigue of the audience and installed Juxingmao in his new play "Tie Lihua".
Although he is still playing a buffoon, this time Ju Xingmao and the beautiful actress Chen Shu have a relationship scene, and the two are jokingly called like beauty and beasts by the outside world in the same frame.
Chen Shu also once said: "The two of us are in the same frame like bringing a monkey out by ourselves." ”
Having said that, the main reason why this drama can come out of the circle is their sense of contrast.
The "color" played by Ju Xingmao is not good-looking, although his body is small, he can protect Tie Lihua behind him, which is very manly.
Relying on this drama, Juxing Mao Huo came out of the circle and also had fans.
In 2014, the old pair of Guo Jingyu and Ju Xingmao cooperated again in "Braveheart", still a buffoon, and there were very few scenes.
The old friend couldn't watch it anymore this time, and painstakingly persuaded Ju Xingmao that he could not have a buffoon performance all his life.
It is recommended that he become a director like himself, first study for a few years, and personally lead him to direct the play after he comes out.
Guo Jingyu's words made Juxing Mao Daigo, after all, being a director is not better than being an actor requires a face.
So, Ju Xingmao applied for the directing major in Chinese drama, and now not only the written exam, but also the interview he easily passed.
And old friends do what they say, after Ju Xingmao graduated from Chinese opera, Guo Jingyu took and directed "Hitting the Dog Stick" with him.
Later, the play was broadcast, and Guo Jingyu gave all the credit to Ju Xingmao, so that he was nominated for the Magnolia Best Director Award.
Although being a director is partly related to Guo Jingyu's help, Ju Xingmao can still shine in his field after leaving him.
In the same year that the award was awarded, Ju Xingmao and Guo Shimin jointly launched "Soul Ferry".
The show came out of nowhere, with a good grasp of the horror fantasy elements.
And with the addition of positive energy or critical things, making the ending thrilling but without losing social significance, "Soul Ferry" quickly became popular.
For several consecutive years, it has remained high on the popularity list of domestic online dramas, and has become the most classic masterpiece in the hearts of the Chinese people.
It can even be said that even some well-made traditional domestic dramas are dwarfed by "Soul Ferry".
Ju Xingmao, who has extremely high artistic talent, came to the stage of talent blowout, and many classic dramas "Niangdao", "The Most Beautiful Country", and even "The Most Beautiful Retrograde" two years ago were all from him.
The actors who cooperate are both powerful and traffic artists, and even "Yang Ma" also prefers Ju Xingmao's plays.
But whenever he shoots one, he packages one to be broadcast on the platform.
This made Juxing Mao soft on winning the award and becoming a acclaimed director in the industry.
Adding up to the large and small achievements, it is estimated that Juxingmao is now worth more than 1 billion.
Seeing his old friend so successful, Guo Jingyu was very pleased, and at the same time hurriedly listed his lifelong events.
Under Guo Jingyu's introduction, Juxing Maocai and his wife got married.
The outside world knows very little about his other half, but it is certain that the other party is also an actor, although he is not very famous, his appearance and figure are not picked.
The couple stood together and staged a realistic version of Beauty and the Beast.
Finally, let's talk about it:
Today, Ju Xingmao is active in the entertainment industry as a director, and still brings a steady stream of works to the audience.
It's just that he protects his family very well, except for seeing the 41-year-old return to his hometown not long ago and holding a luxurious wedding combining Chinese and Western for his wife, he rarely knows his private life.
However, this is also good, which shows that he is pragmatic, unlike other marketing stars in the entertainment industry who hype up.
After reading Ju Xingmao's story, did you have an idea of "if he is ugly, then I can do more"?
Everyone in the world will see pearls, but only if you have that potential and talent, in order to be seen by nobles.
Even if you are seen, can you guarantee that you will have the strong perseverance and effort of Ju Xingmao to act?
No one can succeed casually, behind every sentence in the text, there are hidden tears and grievances paid by Ju Xingmao, I don't know if everyone can empathize?
