Preface
He is not the most handsome, nor the richest, he only has a stubborn heart to pursue his dreams. For 24 years, he has been up and down in the entertainment industry, from a grassroots actor all the way to an actor. Comedy master Stephen Chow once jokingly called him "a low-profile version of me", but he proved that he was a unique toucher in the entertainment industry with his strength and dedication. There is so much to look forward to in his story, follow me into his extraordinary "counterattack epic".
The longing of a rural teenager
Sprouts in the soil grow Maverick village children
With a carefree childhood, Ju Xingmao was as lively and active as other children. During the New Year's holidays, the old people in the village will show some old movies for everyone's entertainment. For the first time, Ju Xingmao saw the charm of drama in the swaying screen.
The chic actor, the red costume fluttered in the wind, and his eyebrows were full of elegance and righteousness. His jade tree sword in the wind sealed the restlessness in his heart, and the powerful aura made him unable to take his eyes off. This is an incomparable hero, Ju Xingmao felt the appeal of the drama for the first time, and his heart was moved.
The childlike dream on the stage, day and night, the drama gradually faded, and the movie gradually became a long-awaited thought
At the age of 9, Ju Xingmao made a shocking first appearance on the screen. When he walked onto the set, put on the costume, and put on makeup, it made him feel different. It was an inexplicable excitement, a strong sense of mission.
"Click, let's shoot!" The director shouted. Ju Xingmao followed the play and followed the actor's eldest brother to say the lines, and his spirit was flying. The feeling in front of the camera is real and dreamy. For the first time, Ju Xingmao felt that this was his world.
Later, whenever Ju Xingmao passed by the set board of the movie, he would stop for a long time, look at the busy props team on the set, and listen to the director's non-stop roaring command. His eyes began to become eager and yearning, as if he had been drawn away by something. It was a silent dream, born from the deepest part of his heart.
Rural life is gradually lacking in new ideas, dreams are calling for the way forward The simple countryside is next to you at any time, and the city is pulsating with dream words
Now that Ju Xingmao is growing up, he will be faced with the choice of belonging. Everyone advised him to settle down and live a life like everyone else. Ju Xingmao never forgot the experience of his childhood, and the shock brought to him by the drama was too profound.
In this place where no one takes dreams seriously, Juxingmao is a maverick. He often ran to the open space outside the village alone, imitating the artist's singing demeanor in front of the mirror. In the evening, he would sit on the bricks of the courtyard and look at the stars, occasionally looking at the night sky and not knowing what he was thinking.
He knew the road wasn't smooth, but he just couldn't resist giving it a try. Maybe in the city, that bright stage is waiting for him......
The struggle of the North Drifter boy
On the train to the north, full of the longing and hope of a teenager When I first arrived in a foreign land, I was fresh and confused
When he was admitted to the junior college, Ju Xingmao resolutely decided to drop out of school and worked hard to prepare for wanting to drift north. He wants to make a world in the seven-inch world of light and shadow. Now, finally, we have arrived at the station with the word "Beijing" written on the stop sign.
"What will this city give me, fame, fortune, or impermanent change?" The boy carried a simple bag and stared intently at this strange place through the car window. The prosperity revealed in the bright lights and greenery instantly filled his eyes.
Tossing and turning around various film and television companies, the sound of pushing the door again and again, the teenager fell to the bottom little by little, his blind confidence gradually dissipated, and he burst into tears in the face of reality
Playing tricks and being an extra, Ju Xingmao has personally experienced the hardships of this industry. He enthusiastically pushed open one door after another, but hit the wall again and again. There are too many people who share the same dream as him, how long can his passion and persistence last?
In the dead of night, Ju Xingmao would sit on a bench in the homeless square with his legs crossed. Quiet tears burst into his water, and he began to question his choice. However, the moment he looked up at the moon in the night sky, he was sure that the road would go on.
The hot bricks left marks in the palms of the hands, but they still couldn't withstand the burning of a wheat field
I met a bosom friend by chance, and finally saw the dawn of hope after a long struggle
In order to make a living, Ju Xingmao began to move bricks from construction sites, and the rough, hot surface wore down his hands. While sweating profusely, he still thinks of his parents' eyes and the infectious power of the drama. All this convinced him that he was right.
Until one day, Ju Xingmao met Director Guo - a bosom friend who discovered his potential. At this moment, the gears of fate finally turned, and the dawn of struggle appeared. Perhaps, compared to trekking, encounter is the essence of life.
Met a nobleman, a turning point in the road of acting
The opportunity outside the play opens up another scene of life
That year, Guo Jingyu was preparing for the new drama "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and Ju Xingmao was fortunate to be a trick in the crew. The encounter between the two was purely arranged by fate. In between shooting, Guo Jingyu always looks at this inconspicuous little role. He was so engrossed that he seemed to have forgotten himself.
"You like acting?"
“啊...... 嗯,我从小的梦想。 ”
"Talk to me after work?"
With a few words, a subtle friendship sprouts, and gradually becomes a confidant and good friend
After the work, Ju Xingmao stumbled and told Guo Jingyu his story. Guo Jingyu praised it after listening to it, and the two hit it off at first sight. It turns out that in this cruel entertainment industry, there are also people who understand his dreams and persistence.
"You're talented, but you still need to hone your skills. ”
"Thanks for the compliment! I will definitely try!"
The guide appeared, and the road of life also turned a bright light
Later, Guo Jingyu specially recommended Ju Xingmao to the director when he was preparing to shoot a new film, and the first real role opportunity came.
"Brother Guo, how can I thank you?"
"Just behave yourself, and you can do it. ”
The strength has been affirmed, and the acting skills shine
Rehearsal day and night, both inside and outside the cultivation waiting for the flowers to bloom
Since meeting Guo Jingyu, Ju Xingmao has been greatly encouraged. He is no longer satisfied with waiting for an opportunity, but works hard to learn all kinds of acting courses and practice diligently. During the day, I studied with the teacher, and at night I rehearsed by myself, pondering every movement and expression. In Guo Jingyu's new play, Ju Xingmao shoulders the main role for the first time. He carefully figured out the characters and externalized his inner emotions into subtle expressions, which were vivid. This time the performance impressed everyone - he is a real actor.
A scene-stealing expert, he is on the same stage as senior actors
Ju Xingmao and the old drama bones played against each other, neither humble nor arrogant. His vivid and renovated interpretation gives the lines a new meaning, and the brilliance of his acting skills is amazing. Even Chen Shu frequently looked sideways, and he couldn't help but be a little jealous in his heart. The reputation of "Brother Di" was born from this. Guo Jingyu saw it in his eyes, and he was even more convinced that Juxingmao would become a great weapon. He took the initiative to consult with Ju Xingmao, hoping to cultivate his talent as a director......
The mantle is gradually inherited, and the actor's body is gradually wearing the director's robe
The two worked closely together, and Ju Xingmao learned a lot from Guo Jingyu. With Guo's support and encouragement, he also began to try his hand at directing, and gradually got better. From actor to director, what else can't he do?
Career and emotional smugness, to achieve a real counterattack
We will finally say goodbye to the imperfect selves of yesterday
Now Ju Xingmao is not only a representative of excellent acting skills, but his film and television works are a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office. Whether acting or directing, each of his works has a quiet and profound core. Regarding feelings, Ju Xingmao has always maintained a unique view that only belongs to him. A wife who is not a good match in the eyes of everyone is his best destination. Thankfully, love lived up to their waiting. "We will finally say goodbye to the imperfect selves of yesterday. This is Ju Xingmao's life creed.
Sticking to the original intention is the most valuable, and seeing the truth in silent cultivation
Ju Xingmao has never been carried away by fame and fortune, and has never wanted to be wild in the entertainment industry. He only hopes to touch everyone who has ever had a dream through meaningful works. Just like writing a poem, Ju Xingmao is the most selfless poet in the film and television industry. He always adhered to his original dream, let the years go by, and waited for the flowers to bloom.
For more than 800 nights, he waited in the dark for the dawn of dawn
From the 9-year-old child who first knew the charm of movies to a well-known star now, Ju Xingmao spent a full 24 years honing his way forward on this road of struggle.
He believed that the light was ahead, even if the night had lasted for more than 800 days and nights......
So on the 801st morning, the moment the sun rose, he opened his eyes and greeted the dawn of his own.
