In 2013, after the broadcast of "Under the Gate of Zhengyang", it quickly became popular throughout the country, with a rating of 5%, becoming one of the most sensational TV series of that year. After this "Beijing flavor drama" became popular, director Liu Jiacheng quickly produced another drama with a strong "Beijing flavor" - "Love Man Courtyard". But unfortunately, this drama continued the high ratings of "Under the Gate of Zhengyang", but the reputation "overturned".
When it was broadcast, "Love Man Courtyard" attracted a tsunami-like scolding. Silly Zhu's unprincipled kindness, Qin Huairu's endless selfishness of squeezing Silly Zhu, the second uncle's obsessive and cold-blooded habit, the three masters' nature of taking advantage and calculating, and Xu Damao's character of only caring about themselves and harming others by any means are all difficult to accept. The audience who was extremely angry even gave this drama another title - "Poultry Man Courtyard".
However, "Love Man Courtyard" is not all evil. There are two characters in the play that people like very much, one is a deaf old lady, the other is Lou Xiao'e, especially the kind, generous and beautiful Lou Xiao'e, and it is the "white moonlight" in the eyes of many audiences. This also gave her actor Wei Xiao a fire.
I thought that after playing Lou Xiao'e, Wei Xiaojun's film date was soft. But 5 years have passed in a trance, and Wei Xiaojun seems to have "disappeared", and it is difficult to see her on TV. Obviously beautiful and good acting, why did she "disappear", how is she living now?
01
In 1978, Wei Xiaojun was born in an ordinary family in Heilongjiang, with the personality of a typical northeastern girl, frank, righteous and sincere, but her sweet and beautiful appearance and gentle and intellectual temperament are like southern girls.
Like many Northeasterners, Wei Xiaojun was versatile and had an innate talent for acting. According to her recollection, she had a dream of being an actor when she was 15 years old, living in a flat-roofed house, and in order to call her sister to eat, she stood on the roof and tore open her voice and shouted. It was this shout that made her fantasize for the first time about how she would feel if she stood on stage in the future.
So after graduating from high school, Wei Xiaojun went to Shanghai alone with a suitcase, because she wanted to be admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy and wanted to be an actress.
At that time, she looked beautiful and full of youthful atmosphere, and she was a beautiful landscape wherever she stood, plus she had a talent for acting, so she easily entered the play and became a classmate of Wang Yang, Ren Zhong, and Zhang Duo.
At that time, Wang Yang, Ren Chong, and Zhang Duo were the most handsome and popular boys in the class, while Wei Xiaojun was the most colorful flower in the class.
Handsome men and beautiful women are naturally indispensable for suitors, but when Wang Yang was distressed every day because he was surrounded by beautiful women, and the girls in the class "pulled their heads" for him, Wei Xiaojun threw himself into learning. As soon as she graduated from university, she was admitted to Beijing Renyi with excellent grades and became a drama actress.
On the drama stage, Wei Xiaojun is known as the "queen of drama" and has participated in many classic dramas such as "Cai Wenji", "Teahouse" and "Hamlet". Drama performances have always required more exquisite acting skills, and she has been immersed in the drama stage for many years, and she has also honed her excellent acting skills over the years, laying the foundation for her future film and television performances.
Although the frequency of launching works is not high, Wei Xiaojun has not played outstanding roles in film and television dramas, such as the dumb girl in "Iron Blood Lotus", Yang Wuniang Guan Hong in "Young Yang Family General", etc., all of which have become full under her interpretation.
However, Wei Xiaojun's real impression in film and television dramas must start from her being selected by director Liu Jiacheng. In 2009, director Liu Jiacheng prepared to shoot the "Beijing Flavor Opera" "Silly Spring", which needed someone to play the fifth sister who originally had a lively personality and became philistine and cunning after being spoiled and misguided by her family.
The jumpiness of this role is not small, and the difficulty of interpretation is not small, so the selection of people is a difficult problem, but when the director saw Wei Xiaojun's performance on the drama stage, he quickly invited her.
In order to play this role that is very different from his own personality, Wei Xiaojun often pulled director Liu Jiacheng to discuss and ask the seniors of the same crew for advice. During filming, in order to make the lines familiar and the performance targeted, she often memorized the lines of her opponents, and when the other party forgot the words, she immediately reminded the other party. Intentions naturally have good results, and after the broadcast of this drama, the fifth sister played by her won the title of "little abacus", which shows the audience's recognition.
Because of the tacit cooperation in "Silly Spring", Liu Jiacheng later prepared many films without forgetting to pull Wei Xiaojun, which also left her a number of unforgettable roles on the TV series, such as the clear-headed second sister Han Chunyan in "Under the Gate of Zhengyang", and the kind and generous Lou Xiao'e in "Love Man Courtyard".
But maybe many people like me didn't find it, it turned out that the second sister in "Under the Gate of Zhengyang" was actually the same person as Lou Xiao'e. This is probably the charm of "drama face".
02
It is said that an actress like Wei Xiaojun who has good acting skills and looks very beautiful, not to mention the fire, at least there should be many invitations to films. But why does it seem that after she plays Lou Xiao'e, she can't seem to see it in the TV series?
There are actually three reasons for this:
One reason is that Wei Xiaojun is actually a very Buddhist personality, and he pursues a slow life with a soothing pace. Although in film and television dramas, she has played some roles with an obsession with success and an infinite desire for success, in reality she has a completely opposite personality.
In her view, real success is not to be disturbed by the external environment, not to suffer from gains and losses, not to compare, to be physically and mentally healthy, and to have a harmonious family. In a chaotic world, being able to live according to her heart and not lose herself is the success she understands.
With such an attitude towards life, Wei Xiaojun lives with full energy. When it's time to work, devote yourself to it, and when it's time to rest, quickly withdraw and recharge in time. Some people commented on her rhythm of life, saying that she lived like a monk, burning incense, drinking tea, copying scriptures, reading, and traveling, which were the most common things she did outside of work.
Of course, the personality of the Buddhist line does not make her film so little, and the more fundamental reason is that after Wei Xiaojun played Lou Xiao'e, she was admitted to the National Institute of Development of Peking University in 2015, where she studied EMBA for two years.
The reason why Wei Xiaojun wants to learn is because she wants to transform and become a producer, and there is a big difference between the perspective of actors and producers, so she let go of the popular situation at that time.
After returning from study, Wei Xiaojun has actually been acting, such as "Grandma's Dumpling House", "No Regrets", "Woodcutter Liao Junbo" and other film and television dramas have starred in her, in "The Story of Fengqiao Police Station", she also became a colleague with Wei Monk of "Bright Sword" and fell in love.
And these dramas have a common feature, that is, Wei Xiaojun is a producer. The silent transformation into a producer is quite amazing.
The third reason is that the work is too busy and there is very little time for filming. Today, Wei Xiaojun is not only an actor in Beijing Renyi, but also a film and television actor, but also a producer who needs to coordinate the shooting, and her multiple identities keep her very busy. In an interview, the host asked her how she usually spends time, and Wei Xiaojun lamented that there is too much work, how can I have time for entertainment.
Therefore, in the final analysis, because of the addition of the new identity of the producer, Wei Xiaojun's affairs with multiple identities have become more and more busy, making it more difficult for the audience to see this actor with excellent acting skills on the TV screen.
However, although it is difficult to see her in TV series, on social media, Wei Xiaojun will often share some of his work and life routine. Judging from the video she posted, she is still elegant and beautiful at the age of 45, and she is not lost compared to the "love rival" Hao Lei in "Love Man Courtyard".
In today's fast-paced life, ordinary people are still chasing fame and fortune, let alone in the entertainment industry of Vanity Fair. In this way, Wei Xiaojun, who is as pale as a daisy and elegant and transparent, is just like a "strange flower", which makes people envious and difficult to dislike, you say?
