The Shanghai woman played by Xi Meijuan in "An Jia" is impressive. In the TV series, Grandma Jiang in a cheongsam and Grandpa Song in a suit love happiness, and this relationship makes many people feel touched.
But outside the play, Xi Meijuan's relationship does not have a perfect ending, she married Zhou Yemang at the age of 30, but was abandoned at the age of 39 and single until now.
After so many years, how has Xi Meijuan's life been?
Xi Meijuan was born in 1955 to an ordinary family in Shanghai with four children. Xi Meijuan's father is a toy designer who often reads books at home. Influenced by her father, Xi Meijuan also likes to read since childhood.
In 1973, Xi Meijuan graduated from high school, and after graduation, she became a young intellectual of Chongming Island. Not long after the team went, it coincided with the enrollment of the theater, and the policy at that time was to call on all boys and girls of the right age to sign up.
In the early 1970s, when the popularity of Mandarin was not widespread, people around her suggested that she go to the Shanghai Opera School, but because of the problem of Shanghainese pronunciation, Xi Meijuan applied for the Shanghai Theater Academy.
During the exam, the examiner teacher asked Xi Meijuan to perform a sketch, and Xi Meijuan shook her head in confusion after listening to it, at that time she did not know what a sketch was.
The teacher told her: "Just show some things in your daily life through performance", Xi Meijuan understood.
Normally speaking, a student who doesn't even know what the sketch is is impossible to pass the exam, but it is precisely because Xi Meijuan is blank like a blank piece of paper and more malleable, which has become her advantage.
In those days of acting-related schools, appearance and image may not be so important, they are more concerned about what you can finally present.
As a result, Xi Meijuan became a student in the Department of Opera Acting. During the school period, this ordinary girl listened carefully to the lectures and practiced, and seized every opportunity to learn. After graduating, Xi Meijuan became a staff member of the Shanghai People's Art Theatre.
At that time, the actor was not a popular profession, so there were very few people who chose this profession, so after Xi Meijuan joined the work, many roles in the theater were naturally played by Xi Meijuan.
Although Xi Meijuan has 4 years of professional study experience, she is not proud of it, she is the first person to practice in the theater every day, rain or shine.
At that time, Xi Meijuan could come to the theater every day to practice for an action, hoping that the action could be as best as possible.
It is precisely because of this spirit of not giving up that it was not long before she had a brilliant performance in "Dead Wood and Spring", and she also won the Shanghai Young Actor Outstanding Performance Award.
Although this award is not so famous, for Xi Meijuan, who is dedicated to delving into the business, this is a recognition of her hard work, which also makes her full of confidence in her future development.
Xi Meijuan's talent in acting was not strong, but she was serious enough and hard enough, and many old seniors praised her at that time.
In 1982, Xi Meijuan's place of work was a new handsome boy named Zhou Yemang. At this time, Xi Meijuan has been working in the unit for 5 years.
Zhou Yemang, like Xi Meijuan, also graduated from the acting department of the Shanghai Theater Academy, and the two of them were about the same age, because they were alumni and had many similar hobbies, and the two quickly established a romantic relationship.
When the two had the best feelings, they resolutely chose to get married. Xi Meijuan did not give up her career because she got married, she still performed on stage.
In 1988, Xi Meijuan, who had been working for 10 years, had new opportunities. This year, she won the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award for her drama "Chinese Dream".
At this time, she was not only very famous in the drama circle, but also noticed in the film and television circle, and soon a director invited her to act, and no one said that she was not suitable for being an actor anymore.
Xi Meijuan made her first film in 1990, "Fake Girl True Feelings". She played the heroine Wang Yujuan in the movie.
Originally, Xi Meijuan did not plan to participate in the role, but the director kept persuading and encouraging her, and she finally agreed to participate.
After the release of the movie, it caused everyone to discuss, Xi Meijuan also won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress for this film, when she was 36 years old.
Being recognized by professionals is something that performers are very proud of. On the day of the award ceremony, Xi Meijuan was still rehearsing.
After she heard the news of her award, although she was also a little excited, she was more calm and calm, and after a while she continued to rehearse.
The first time she shot a movie, she had such a big impact, which also made her realize the truth that there are people outside the people. Although she has achieved more success on the stage of drama, when she faces the camera, she finds that the learning of acting is still deep.
Xi Meijuan does not act in all plays, she has two principled requirements for the script, that is, the characters performed should have personality charm and personality charm.
While busy with work, Xi Meijuan is pregnant, and the husband and wife are very happy about this small life that has suddenly arrived.
But the world is unpredictable, because of an accident at work, she failed to save the child. Both husband and wife are very sad about this, and the feelings of the two people have also been affected.
But Xi Meijuan did not give up because of this, and she did not forget to take care of her body while working. Finally, at the age of 39, she became pregnant again.
Xi Meijuan was simply overjoyed, and after the last experience, Xi Meijuan was more careful, and finally the child was born safely.
Xi Meijuan thought that after having a child, the relationship between the two would be better, but she did not expect that after the birth of the child, Zhou Yemang and Xi Meijuan divorced.
And Zhou Yemang soon married the actor Wang Zhixia. Xi Meijuan, on the other hand, raised her children by herself and became a single mother.
In the five years since the birth of her child, Xi Meijuan has almost pushed off all work, and she has focused her time and energy on her son.
It wasn't until the child could go to kindergarten that she slowly returned to everyone's sight. But the 5 years she disappeared should have been the best 5 years of her development, when she had just received the Golden Rooster Award, and many works came to invite her, but she refused.
Xi Meijuan's first work after her comeback was "Red Prescription", although she had not worked for 5 years, she still starred in the female number one.
After this, Xi Meijuan's career ushered in the spring, and the works such as "Wang Gui and Anna" and "Judge's Mother" also left a deep impression on the audience.
In 2000, Xi Meijuan won the Feitian Award for Outstanding Actress for "Red Carnation". Looking back at Xi Meijuan's career, whether it is drama, TV series, or movies, she is very successful. But for actresses, there is a problem that has to be faced, that is, age.
Middle-aged actresses often have some anxiety, too young roles can no longer be played, but older roles are not willing to play themselves.
Xi Meijuan was also lost, but she quickly adjusted her mentality. After that, Xi Meijuan tried some amiable mother roles, and was even once called "national mother".
In the hearts of the audience, Xi Meijuan is no longer a drama actress, she has become a film and television actress. Every time Xi Meijuan goes to filming in other places, the first thing she does is talk to her son on the phone and share her day with him.
The son will also talk to his mother about his happiness, although sometimes the distance between mother and son is very far, but their feelings have always been very deep. Despite her busy work, Xi Meijuan has never missed Children's Day, and every June 1, she will accompany her son.
When most celebrities send their children to study abroad, Xi Meijuan did not do this, she felt that as long as children were willing to learn, they could absorb knowledge anywhere.
When the children are on vacation, Xi Meijuan tries her best to take the children out to travel, and many countries have left the footprints of mother and son.
Xi Meijuan also does not have high expectations for her son, she feels that as long as the child is healthy and safe, now Xi Meijuan's son is 27 years old, and he also has a girlfriend, and the relationship between mother and son is still very good.
After Zhou Yemang divorced for many years, Xi Meijuan did not expect that the two would have the opportunity to shoot the same drama. In "An Jia", Xi Meijuan plays Grandma Jiang, while Zhou Yemang plays "Tian Tian Dad".
I thought that this encounter would embarrass the two people, but fortunately, they were both professional actors and did not have an impact for personal reasons.
Time is the best medicine, so many years have passed, both of them have a new life, and this relationship has completely turned over.
Xi Meijuan is now 66 years old, and she has been single for 27 years since she divorced Zhou Yemang at that time. For so many years, she did not choose to start another family, but raised her son alone and did her best to give her children the best life.
Although her son has grown up, Xi Meijuan has no intention of stopping working. Now Xi Meijuan's roles are mostly mother-in-law.
But because of the different ways she performs, each role will still give the audience a fresh feeling. This is the strength of the old actors, and it is also worth learning from young people.
