If Wang Xiao's biggest advantage is his special family background, then this is the opposite of the situation of the second generation of other stars.
Wang Xiao was born in an artistic family, his father Wang Qun was a stage director, and his mother Wang Fuli was a well-known opera actor back then, known as "the first sister-in-law in the world".
Under the influence of such an environment, Wang Xiao has been exposed to performing arts since he was a child, and has an infinite yearning for the stage. As a child, he would hide behind the backstage set and quietly watch his mother's rehearsals and performances through the cracks, with mixed feelings.
However, what Wang Xiao didn't expect was that because he knew the hardships of this industry, Wang Xiao's parents were extremely opposed to his desire to engage in art. Not only verbally dissuaded, but even when Wang Xiao had the opportunity to appear on the stage, his mother would personally intercept him, for fear that he would have the idea of performing.
As a result, Wang Xiao was born in such a family, but he did not get the slightest convenience of advancement, and even had to study and work step by step. As everyone knows, the dream of drama in his heart has sprouted and taken root unconsciously.
At the age of 26, Wang Xiao finally mustered up the courage and chose to quit his job and officially enter the industry. In the face of repeated opposition from his family, Wang Xiao was not discouraged, but took the initiative to ask for orders to talk sincerely with his parents.
He solemnly explained to his parents his love for acting and his determination to enter the industry, and expressed his desire for their understanding and support.
At first, his parents were serious, thinking that he had made an impulsive decision when he was young and vigorous. But when they heard Wang Xiao's dramatic complex since childhood, the two couldn't help but redden.
In the end, the Queen Mother gave Wang Xiao 3 years to prove himself, which undoubtedly became an opportunity for him to step into the showbiz. Wang Xiao also assured his parents that he would work independently in the past 3 years, would not rely on any relationship, and proved his sincerity with practical actions.
In the long 3 years, Wang Xiao has always had that enthusiasm for performance, and worked tirelessly in various crews. At first, Wang Xiao would also return to the empty rental house in the middle of the night, looking at his photos on the wall in a daze.
But every time at this time, he would think of his parents' expectant and apprehensive eyes, which made Wang Xiao rekindle his fighting spirit and persevere. Although the results were not satisfactory, Wang Xiao finally opened up his career through his own efforts.
The long wait was not in vain, and the opportunity finally came in 2017. This year, Wang Xiao starred in the play "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" cooperated by Yang Mi and Zhang Bichen, and played a seemingly relaxed and funny role "Siming Xingjun".
This is a "comic" image who is in charge of the marriage of the world and makes a living from gossip. At first, Wang Xiao didn't have too high expectations for such a role, but it was just another role before.
However, unexpectedly, after the hit of the show, Wang Xiao's wonderful performance made the role of "Si Ming Xingjun" deeply loved by the audience, and his popularity rose rapidly. This also became an important turning point in Wang Xiao's career.
After becoming popular overnight, Wang Xiao couldn't help but think deeply. This is an opportunity given to him by God, an opportunity to re-examine himself and adjust his development strategy.
So, Wang Xiao decisively seized this opportunity and switched to more dramas. He is no longer limited to youth idol dramas or costume dramas, but has tried different themes such as family ethics dramas, spy war dramas, and suspense and reasoning dramas.
In this series of works, Wang Xiao gradually polished his acting skills well, allowing the audience to witness his strong drama strength. In the end, with his own strength, Wang Xiao was on the right track in the entertainment industry.
If you say that the most impressive thing about Wang Xiao is that he was finally able to rely on his own strength to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry. This is completely different from those "second generation stars" who have been surrounded by resource centers since birth and started from famous families.
As the only son of a stage director and a well-known opera actor, Wang Xiao could easily open up multiple relationship chains through family influence and gain a firm foothold in the circle. But Wang Xiao didn't do this, he gave up all family momentum and broke into this vanity fair alone.
Even if the relationship between his parents has not helped him in the past many years, Wang Xiao has never bowed to his family and always insisted on relying on himself.
After years of struggle, Wang Xiao finally won the recognition of the industry through unremitting efforts and strength. Today, he has successfully transformed and grown into one of the powerful representatives of the uncle circle.
This undoubtedly also gives a warning to the second generation of stars who rely on their families to start in the entertainment industry, if they want to gain a firm foothold in this circle, it is simply impossible to have enough skills.
