Preamble:
Before beautiful flowers bloom, they must go through the baptism of wind, rain, frost and snow.
In the entertainment industry, there is also such a group of people, who are not smooth sailing, but have gone through vicissitudes and hardships before finally having the opportunity to show their talents.
We can't help but ask, why did the son of this actress have to go through more than ten years of hardship to get ahead?
How did he perfectly interpret the supporting role step by step, so that the audience still remembers him?
He is the son of a movie queen, but his mother does not appreciate him
Wang Xiao was born in a happy family.
His mother is a popular actress, and his father is a well-known director in the industry.
Wang Xiao has shown amazing acting talent since he was a child, often imitating actors on TV in front of the mirror by himself, and can also write and act in jokes based on various movies.
After these videos of his performances spread in the circle of relatives and friends, they were all amazing.
Wang Xiao's preoccupied appearance and innate appeal during the performance all indicate that he will become an excellent actor in the future.
However, when Wang Xiao grew up, he gradually became the pride of his mother with excellent grades.
Wang Xiao's mother doesn't want her son to choose the unstable path of acting like her.
She doesn't want Wang Xiao to go through the rushes and hardships of her many years in filmmaking, and she is also worried that the unreality of the film and television industry will paralyze Wang Xiao's quality of pursuing the truth.
In order to stop her son's idea of acting, she resolutely decided to send Wang Xiao abroad for further study, hoping that he would be smooth sailing on the road of stability.
After 12 years of studying abroad, Wang Xiao finally gave up a stable life
Wang Xiao was sent abroad by his mother to study when he was 16 years old, and he could have relied on his family's connections to break through in the entertainment industry, but his mother's opposition prevented him from realizing his dream.
After going abroad, Wang Xiao studied Xi diligently, double-majored in arts and sciences, and finally obtained a doctorate in economics from a well-known university.
Because of his excellent grades, he was offered several job opportunities, and finally chose to join a large financial company as a senior investment analyst with an annual salary of up to $300,000.
On the surface, Wang Xiao lives a very successful and decent life, but every time he returns from the bustling Wall Street and is alone in a deserted high-end apartment, Wang Xiao's heart is always empty.
The dream of acting has never disappeared, and it has accompanied Wang Xiao for 12 years.
In the first few years, Wang Xiao could still rely on work to numb himself, but as time went by, his desire for acting became stronger and stronger.
Finally, in 2005, 27-year-old Wang Xiao decided to give up his high-paying job and ignore his mother's opposition to return to China for development.
When he made up his mind, his dedication and confidence in performance made him not afraid of the hardships in the future.
Returned to China to develop an oasis without a future for 11 years
In 2005, Wang Xiao returned to his hometown with his bags and began to start from a role in a dragon role, starring in many TV series.
At first, his family had expectations for him and comforted him that his acting career would be difficult.
Wang Xiao was quickly favored by directors for his excellent cultural accomplishment, and he often got opportunities in some big productions.
However, when Wang Xiao worked hard for 11 years in a row but still did not become famous, relatives and friends persuaded him to give up.
Many friends persuaded Wang Xiao to return to the financial circle to redevelop, and his parents were even more worried about his aging appearance.
Several of Wang Xiao's classmates have started families one after another, but Wang Xiao is still running around for acting.
In the past 11 years, Wang Xiao has experienced the hardships and helplessness of the entertainment industry.
As the son of a movie queen, he could have made a shortcut to get ahead, but he insisted on relying on his own strength to embark on the most difficult path.
During this period, Wang Xiao continued to polish his acting skills, and he knew that even if it was just a trick, he had to give the character a three-dimensional soul.
In these 11 long years of waiting, Wang Xiao always believes that as long as he works hard enough, he will usher in opportunities one day.
When the opportunity comes, the supporting characters come to the fore
2016 can be said to be an important turning point in Wang Xiao's life.
