"You can do whatever you want, you just can't be an actor!"
Who dares to believe that this sentence is Wang Fuli, the queen of the Hundred Flowers, repeatedly warned her own son Wang Xiao?
In recent years, the second generation of stars in the entertainment industry has grown up, and the audience is like opening a blind box to watch a play and know a second generation of stars.
Some people even jokingly said, "Is this the first year of the second generation?" ”

Unlike other parents who are anxious to take their children into the entertainment industry, Wang Xiao is firmly held in the palm of his hand by his mother who is an actor and his father who is a director.
Arrange for him to go abroad, learn anime, learn foreign languages, but he can't act.
But Wang Xiao proved with strength that I have small eyes, but unique vision, I am fat, but I have strong willpower.
When you tell a thirsty man in the desert that there is a fruit tree in front of him, but the fruit is very sour, what do you guess he will do?
(Wang Fuli's son Wang Xiao)
He will strive to catch up, to follow the light, to get closer to the light, to become the light.
If following light is a belief, then becoming light becomes a responsibility, and Wang Xiao is exactly that.
01 My mother's daimyo became my trouble
Who in the cinema in the 80s did not know Wang Fuli's name?
Born in 1949, she was arranged by her parents to study opera since she was a child, and her hands and eyes were moved, and when she made a mistake, she was severely beaten and scolded, and she shivered with the whip in her heartache.
(Wang Fuli)
With her appearance and figure in junior high school, Wang Fuli was assigned to work in the Peking Opera Troupe in Jiangsu Province.
Until "Water Guerrilla" and "Cotai Strip" achieved her title of "first sister-in-law on the screen".
Later, films such as "Green Sea Tianya", "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain", "Xu Mao and His Daughters", "Ancient Winds", "Our Cow is 100 Years Old", "Sunrise" and other films gradually made Wang Fuli stand out from the film industry with a hundred flowers.
She has also become a first-line film and television star on a par with Liu Xiaoqing, Pan Hong, Gong Xue and other film queens.
While filming "Water Guerrilla", Wang Fuli met her current husband Wang Qun.
At that time, love was simple and single-minded, and it was determined that a person was a lifetime,

At this time, Wang Fuli's father was still in the field wielding a hoe and stepping on a water wheel, and Wang Qun wanted to marry her, so he could only keep reporting up.
The organization said to Wang Qun many times: "This comrade you insist on marrying may make you lose everything!" ”
Wang Qun was unmoved, even if he lost his job, he would be with Wang Fuli.
When Wang Fuli learned all this, she took Wang Qun's hand with tears and promised him that "I will not fail you"

After many hardships, they finally came together, and in 1978, Wang Fuli became pregnant.
She was still immersed in the joy of being a new mother, and a director came to the door and wanted her to play the revolutionary hero "Sister Jiang", Wang Fuli read the script and learned about the shooting environment, and she hesitated in her heart.
The arrival of this child is not easy, she can't control the child's life because of her own thoughts, Wang Fuli stayed with the child after discussing with Wang Qun and gave up the shooting opportunity.
(Wang Fuli and son Wang Xiao's husband Wang Qun)
The arrival of her son Wang Xiao is like a mirror, Wang Fuli seems to see her own growth experience through the child, so she and Wang Qun agree that this child cannot enter the film and television industry.
02 Just want him to retreat
Wang Fuli has deliberately guided Wang Xiao to cultivate other hobbies since she was a child, plus Wang Xiao herself has been a little fat mound since she was a child, she has a good appetite, and her stomach is round at every meal.
Looking at her son's appearance, Wang Fuli was relieved that this image could not enter the entertainment industry.
(Wang Fuli and Wang Xiao)
But the sky is not as good as people's calculation, once Wang Xiao, who was still in kindergarten, suddenly told his mother: "The teacher said that there is a performance that picked me, I want to go." ”
At this time, Wang Fuli won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Double Shadow with "Sunrise" and "We Have a Cow 100 Years Old".
A performance like the one her son said, if directed by her, is like a tiger.
Unexpectedly, Wang Fuli took Wang Xiao to the kindergarten without saying a word after listening to it, and refused the teacher's arrangement.
Later, Wang Fuli was busy with work, so she put Wang Xiao in her grandfather's house, and when she missed her child, she called back, and the transmission room was a distance from her grandmother's house, and every time her grandmother had to hold Wang Xiao to the transmission room to answer the phone.
Later, Wang Xiao grew up, but he was tall but did not control his weight, and he once gained nearly 200 pounds.
With a silver-white metal chain around his neck and ripped pants, he shocked his parents with the fashionability characteristic of youth.
At this time, Wang Qun realized that his son must restrain himself from the precipice, and if he is allowed to develop, he may live in misery every day.
So he and Wang Fuli together were moved by Wang Xiaoxiaozhi, took him to see art exhibitions to see various exhibition halls, and also took him to visit the academy, so that Wang Xiao realized that children at this age can have a distinct personality, but they must not go astray.
Wang Xiao is very guilty of understanding her parents' good intentions, and after this experience, she also likes to communicate with her parents, especially listening to them tell the behind-the-scenes stories when filming movies, in that era of resource scarcity, with a tenacity and unwavering belief in art, customer service difficulties.
Wang Xiao was unconsciously influenced by this quality in his parents, and he regarded them as idols in his heart, and wanted to wander in the realm of consciousness like his parents.
When he said his ideals, Wang Fuli was dumbfounded.
The son wanted to be an actor, but the actor's mother actively objected and told him: "Your current image is not good unless you can lose weight first." ”
Wang Xiao thought that his mother had agreed to him to film, and began to make a series of weight loss plans.
He lost nearly 60 pounds with a perseverance, which can be regarded as a well-proportioned physique,
But I never thought that in exchange for a sentence "Your mother supports you in whatever you want, but you can't be an actor." ”
03 38 years old became popular and became a supporting character with self-knowledge
Wang Xiao and his parents discussed the problem of whether to be an actor or not, it's not that his mother really can't look at him, it's that there are too many changes in the film and television industry, plus his son does not belong to the handsome type, and it is not easy to take this road.
He can accept that he soaked in cold water for two hours for a shot, or followed the crew over the mountain to shoot, and as a result, he left himself ill and replaced it with his son, and Wang Fuli would refuse if he didn't want to.
The meaning of working hard for parents is to hope that children can have more choices, at least be a little more relaxed than themselves, and live this life safely, this good intention, Wang Xiao was deeply moved.
Now he is faced with the choice of whether to continue, after in-depth communication, Wang Xiao compromised, in order not to worry his parents,
He is willing to study in Russia with his girlfriend first, learn foreign languages, and specialize in three-dimensional animation, and Wang Xiao learns very hard.
He keeps himself busy, not thinking about domestic filming, but once some things take root in his heart, he will approach the light source by himself, and gradually shine to the point that he does not need anyone's attention, and can clear the indecision in his heart.
At this time, Wang Xiao had entered a company to work, a 9-6 in the morning, and there was no wave at a glance.
(Wang Xiao and mother Wang Fuli)
Even if it has been silent for a long time, once the wind passes, the dream of wanting to be an actor begins to jump happily, becoming endless, and has been flowing into the raging river.
Before that, Wang Fuli felt sorry for her son and thought that he would retreat in spite of the difficulties, she called an old friend and found an opportunity for her son to show his face, so that Wang Xiao played Yuan Shikai's bodyguard in "Sun Yat-sen", and it was also this time that touched the shadow, with Wang Xiao's weight loss incident.
In 2005, 27-year-old Wang Xiao submitted a resignation letter and embarked on a plane back to China with a fearless one.
He began to move closer to the faith in his heart, blew away the haze and did not look back,
Even if winter freezes everything, there will be spring willing to release their hopes at this time.
Being able to enter the entertainment industry is only the beginning, Wang Xiao has parents behind him but does not get support, plus he himself is not willing to expose himself as Wang Fuli's son, he is a rookie alone.
It's a pity that Wang Xiaokong has a passion, he is a self-aware person, without a handsome appearance, he does not pick on the role, the protagonist has someone to fight for, and the supporting role also needs someone to play.
Wang Xiao went back and forth to win roles that didn't even have lines, and if it weren't for friends helping him pull in a few commercials, he wouldn't even be able to sustain his life.
Wang Fuli knew her son's current situation and was distressed, she wanted the child to come back, and her husband Wang Qun advised her: "Let's give him a chance, you can also see the child's willpower." ”
Wang Fuli watched her son eat a cold box lunch, wearing stinking and moldy group performance clothes, and wanted to persuade him again: "Mom doesn't want to pour cold water on you, maybe this industry is really not suitable for you?" ”
Wang Xiao didn't feel that his mother was beating him, he said, "Mom, I have something in my heart, I know what I'm doing, you don't need to feel that if you don't help me, you owe me, and if you don't accumulate steps, you can't go a thousand miles." ”
Wang Fuli no longer persuaded her son, Wang Xiao has grown up, it is time for him to decide many things, they should fly a kite, instead of holding it tightly in their hands for fear of breakage.
Wang Xiao hid his identity from the entertainment industry, and successively filmed film and television dramas such as "Yue Wang Goujian", "Mother Next Door" and "Blood", Wang Fuli and Wang Qunshou watched in front of the TV, and when they saw their son appear, they were even more nervous than their own performance.
Wang Xiao's supporting career has been 12 years, and his face has actually appeared in big productions such as "White Deer Plain" and "Lost in Los Angeles", but he has been burning for a long time, and he has always lacked the fire out of the circle.
Until he met Yang Mi, because of his acting skills in "Ruyi", Yang Mi signed him as an artist of the company, and later played supporting roles in many works such as "We Are a Family", "Building Dreams" and "Wife's Secret".
As the boss, Yang Mi also learned that Wang Xiao's mother was Wang Fuli, the idol of his parents' era, after signing him.
Until the "Si Ming Xingjun" in "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" made Wang Xiao's name appear in the hot search terms, among the handsome men and beauties, he made everyone remember him with his likable character and skillful acting skills.
For the first time, Wang Xiao felt that he was red.
Parents are really happy for their son when they see their son working hard, especially Wang Fuli, who has not supported his son from the beginning and has become a fan of his son.
Wang Xiao has always understood his route, and occasionally appearing in fairy tale dramas will be refreshing, such dramas are more relaxed, but there are only a limited amount of things that can be learned in terms of acting skills.
So he began to find a correct positioning for himself, from "In the Name of Law" to "Circuit Inspection Group", "Golden Years", "With You in This Life" and "Crazy", Wang Xiao quietly let himself experience a variety of different identities and roles.
When some fans shouted "Wang Xiao is worthy of the play of the male protagonist", Wang Xiao said modestly: "The supporting role also needs someone to play"
In this way, Wang Xiao was angry, muffled to exercise his acting skills, and only to soar into the sky.
He has always been very sober, and he wants to be an actor rather than a traffic star, so when he is not filming, he goes home to accompany his parents.
He does not go to variety shows as frequently as other stars to increase exposure, he likes acting, and simply likes filming.
In private, Wang Xiao is very filial, Wang Fuli is not feeling well, he accompanies his mother to the hospital, runs upstairs and downstairs, learns to measure blood pressure, and measures blood pressure for Wang Fuli and Wang Qun at home.
He also accompanies his mother to go shopping, works as her mother's bag assistant, clothing matching consultant, and is also a dedicated photographer.
Now Wang Xiao has also achieved positive results with his girlfriend who accompanied him abroad, and his wife is very supportive of his career, Wang Xiao feels that his family harmony and the health of his relatives are the greatest wealth.
At the same time, he also set an example for the "second generation of stars", obviously the halo on his head hides the light, and he must become that light himself.
Even if you are blinded, you are pulled by ideals, you are shielded from your senses,
He still chooses to play with the unknown, right or wrong seems to be less important at this time,
In the balance of hope and disappointment, a fearlessness and sober persistence are added to the direction of the heart.
This is Wang Xiao, twelve years of waiting is fragments all over the ground, finally pieced together into today's radiant him.
