The growth path of the rebellious teenager Zhou Xiaoou
Zhou Xiaoou grew up in a typical Beijing family, and his father was very strict with him, often criticizing and educating him for "not becoming successful". In the face of his father's strictness, Xiao Zhou Xiaoou was irritable and often had conflicts with his father.
His rebellious personality and uninhibited soul left his father with nothing to do.
Later, his father decided to send him to learn martial arts, hoping that through strict physical training, he would gradually calm down. In the martial arts hall, the young Zhou Xiaoou met his fellow senior brother Wu Jing.
The two hit it off at first sight and became inseparable friends. They are always inseparable, slashing wooden figures every day, learning martial arts from each other, and practicing a good skill.
In fact, under the rebellious appearance, Zhou Xiaoou has an extraordinary musical talent. He has been extremely sensitive to music since he was a child, and can memorize melodies at will. When his father found out, he decided to devote himself to cultivating his talent in this area, allowing him to learn many musical instruments such as trumpet and guitar Xi.
Under the careful teaching of his father, Zhou Xiaoou's musical attainments became more and more profound, and he gradually developed a great interest and love for music.
In 1986, Zhou Xiaoou traveled with his father and met several young people from Inner Mongolia who shared the same passion for music. After a while, they decided to form a band and unite under the banner of music.
Zhou Xiaoou was also elected as the lead singer, which opened a new chapter in his music career.
The Zero Point Band sang all the way, and Zhou Xiaoou became the flag bearer of rock and roll
When Zero Point was formed in 1986, several members had a low starting point. They don't have a lot of resources, and it's hard to get a foothold in the music world. In order to make a living, everyone can only sing in some inconspicuous small bars, singing and working part-time, barely making ends meet.
Fortunately, everyone has not given up their pursuit and dream of music. After years of hard work, the opportunity finally ushered in in 1995. There was a major record label that was willing to sign the band and helped them produce and release their first album, Don't Get Me Wrong.
The album was a huge success, making a big impact across the country, and the band Zero really rose to prominence.
Three years later, the band's third album, Every Night Every Day, was released. This album perfectly combines rock elements with traditional Chinese instruments, and has won the hearts of many music fans.
It sold 2 million copies and became the best-selling album of the year in 1998. In those days, this was undoubtedly a staggering number. With its superb works, the Zero Point Band has become a leading figure in the Chinese rock industry in one fell swoop, and Zhou Xiaoou, as the lead singer, has also become the brightest superstar in the hearts of the majority of rock lovers.
Just when his career was in full swing, Zhou Xiaoou's love life also ushered in a climax in 1999. He and Tang Ping, the heroine of the "Yan Band", met and knew each other, and the two had an ambiguous relationship, and soon confirmed their relationship.
A year later, the golden boy and girl of the music industry entered the auditorium and tied the knot. After a happy married life, Tang Ping also gave birth to a lovely daughter for Zhou Xiaoou.
However, the good times did not last long, and in 2008, due to the loss of some members, irreconcilable contradictions appeared within the Zero Point Band. After a painful struggle, Zhou Xiaoou finally chose to leave and quit the big family he created.
It was undoubtedly one of the most difficult decisions of his music career.
Confusion and restarting after leaving the band
After quitting the Zero Point Band in 2008, Zhou Xiaoou fell into unprecedented confusion and pain. In the face of all kinds of accusations and false news from the outside world, he once had an extremely negative mind, and even had the idea of retiring.
Fortunately, he also has a virtuous helper - his wife Tang Ping has always been silently accompanied by him and has become his spiritual support. It was with her encouragement that Zhou Xiaoou gradually found himself and regained his fighting spirit.
He realized that he still had a long way to go in life, and he couldn't just give up.
So, Zhou Xiaoou decided to start anew, transform into the film and television industry, and achieve his second leap. Due to his natural artistic and acting talents, this path is not too difficult to follow.
As early as 2003, he successfully interpreted the supporting role of "Black Boss" in the movie "Conquest". The film's word-of-mouth box office double harvest, which also made him cry for the first time in the film industry.
In 2007, Zhou Xiaoou made a cameo appearance in the hit drama "Struggle". Although his role as the "pig's head" is only a small role, it has impressed many viewers.
Under such good news, his acting skills have gradually been recognized, and his acting career is on the right track.
In the first decade after the transformation, Zhou Xiaoou slowly accumulated experience and contacts in the film and television industry. From the initial role to the supporting role, he is moving towards the goal of a powerful actor step by step.
And when his mentality gradually calmed down, the second spring of his life has quietly come.
gradually transformed successfully and became a powerful actor
In the ten years since leaving the Zero Point Band, Zhou Xiaoou has continued to polish his acting skills in various film and television works, and has grown from the initial trick to an excellent supporting actor.
He often plays some small characters with distinct personalities, although there are not many scenes, but they all leave a deep impression on the audience.
For example, in the historical drama "Mendi", Zhou Xiaoou played the hero's brother He Qiusheng.
Under his superb interpretation, this supporting role, which should have been bland, is also lifelike and unforgettable. This reflects Zhou Xiaoou's solid basic skills, as well as the courage and perseverance to constantly pursue breakthroughs in performance.
For example, in the action movie "Police Story 2013", Zhou Xiaoou interpreted a ruthless villain - Wei Xiaofu. In the face of the protagonists Li Yifeng and Aaron Kwok, his treacherous cunning and violent cruelty made people feel chills in their hearts, which can be described as full of evil.
This shows that his ability to change and adapt when switching between different types of roles has reached a high level.
In the hit drama "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Longling Maze" launched in 2016, the villain "Ma Daring" successfully portrayed by Zhou Xiaoou has become a highlight of the whole drama.
Ma is bold, vicious and cunning, and deliberately harms others, which can be described as the culmination of a hundred villains. Under Zhou Xiaoou's vivid interpretation, the comedy index of this character has been greatly improved, and it has successfully supported the climax of many plots, which makes the audience full of praise after watching it.
It can be said that after years of hard work, Zhou Xiaoou has entered the golden period of his acting career. The successful transformation from a rock singer to a screen powerhouse is not only the result of his own efforts, but also the best proof of his acting skills.
I believe that in the future, his career will climb to a higher peak.
After 12 years, the dream has never changed
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Xiaoou has gone through 12 years of ups and downs. Since leaving the Zero Point Band, his life has been turned upside down, transforming from a rock singer in the music scene to a powerful actor on the screen, which can be described as a sea of vicissitudes.
Today's Zhou Xiaoou is over half a hundred years old, and he is no longer as young and frivolous as before. He has experienced more ups and downs than many people combined, and several ups and downs in his life have also made him gain too many insights.
However, these setbacks and trials did not dampen his enthusiasm for his dreams, but allowed him to thrive in the face of adversity, becoming more and more calm and introverted.
The popular film and television career has brought Zhou Xiaoou popularity and wealth, but he still keeps his sleeves clean and maintains a low-key life. The glory and wealth of the entertainment industry is too exaggerated for him, and he enjoys the happiness brought by music and performance itself, which is also the fundamental driving force that has supported him to this day.
Looking back, Zhou Xiaoou will not regret his choice. The ups and downs of the past have made him grow, and today's harvest makes him happy. There is still a long way to go in life, and he will continue to persevere and continue to write his own legend.
