Li Xiaoran: Success or failure is all in appearance? Because of the ups and downs of "too beautiful", she finally became a "cool heroine" at the age of 48

CCTV's family emotional drama "Fireworks Family" at the beginning of the year is about to come to an end, and in this work that gathers three generations of outstanding actresses from the old, middle and young generations, the 48-year-old Li Xiaoran is dazzling and dominant:

Compared with Song Chunli and Xu Fan, she didn't see her playful charm at all;

Compared with Ma Sichun and Sun Qian, she is more mature and intellectual, and she can be said to be the most beautiful existence in the play.

However, looking at the 28 years since Li Xiaoran's debut:

She is casual and free-spirited, and never took her acting career seriously in her early years, which caused the director to complain frequently;

But later he was involved in the legendary story of the real-life version of "The Thing in the Palm" and almost "fell".

Fortunately, Li Xiaoran is lucky and full of ability, after ups and downs for a long time, he not only found a lover and married into a wealthy family, but also continued to break through himself in his career, even if he is nearly 50 years old now, he is still in good condition and eye-catching.

1. It was a coincidence that I entered the industry, and I was very playful when I was young

Although Li Xiaoran is not a "proud girl of the sky", she is definitely from a superior background.

She was born in 1976 in Chaoyang District, Beijing, to a family of intellectuals, the son of a pilot father and a doctor mother.

As the only daughter in the family, Li Xiaoran has been the pearl of her parents since she was a child, and she is good-looking, so her mother sent her to learn dance.

In addition, she also learned the accordion at the expectation of her father, but in fact Li Xiaoran was not very interested in dancing and music, and had a lively personality as a child, and her favorite thing was to wander around the hutongs of Beijing with her friends.

When she was 9 years old, her mother saw that the High School Attached to Beiwu was enrolling, so she took her daughter to take the exam with the mentality of giving it a try.

As a result, she didn't expect to be admitted easily, and she was classmates with Zhang Ziyi, Sun Li and others, living in the dormitory on the same floor.

However, during the 8 years of studying folk dance in Beiwu, Li Xiaoran was not a hard-working student, she always tried her best to avoid practice.

But even so, she always performs exceptionally in exams and always gets good grades - behind this, maybe it's talent, yes, she's the lucky one who chases after God to feed her.

During this period, Li Xiaoran also encountered an opportunity, when Zhang Yimou filmed "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and invited her to play the role of "Mrs. in the Fourth Room", but she refused on the grounds that she "didn't want to do anything other than dancing".

In 1993, after learning folk dance for 8 years, Li Xiaoran was successfully admitted to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, which was full of talents at that time, and also tried to shoot advertisements to earn some pocket money.

Here, she met Chen Kun, a singer – and he changed her life.

The two were just ordinary colleagues at the time, and they didn't have much to do with each other, but the latter was soon admitted to Beiying and began to learn acting to lay the foundation for becoming actors in the future.

However, Li Xiaoran, who has never liked "stability", only worked as a professional dancer in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe for one year before resigning behind his parents' back.

But the living expenses saved in the previous two years were quickly used up, and Li Xiaoran had no choice but to participate in the first work "Bodyguard: Jade Doll" to earn rent.

This work gathered actresses such as Ye Tong and Li Wanhua, who were very popular at the time, and Li Xiaoran was just an inconspicuous supporting actress.

Since then, Li Xiaoran has often appeared in various crews, playing roles that don't even have lines, and she is also struggling with whether to enter the showbiz.

In 2000, at the age of 24, she received a call from her old colleague Chen Kun, who had just been directed by Zhao Baogang to star in the TV series "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind".

And the director is also worried about a lot of casting in the play, Li Xiaoran's photo happens to be among them, Chen Kun saw it at a glance, and immediately said that he knew her.

In this way, she was able to join the group a few months later, and starred in the noble dancer Angel, and became popular overnight.

But in fact, what few people know is that Li Xiaoran left this matter behind her shortly after receiving Chen Kun's call, but fortunately, the other party did not give up, which contributed to her real entry into the industry.

2. The dedication is not heavy, but he encounters "rotten peach blossoms"

But don't look at Li Xiaoran's gentle appearance and her own sense of brokenness, in fact, she is very nervous.

It is reported that when she met Zhao Baogang for the first time, she ate a big bowl of noodles in front of the director without any restraint and shyness.

Because of this, the other party had a good impression of Li Xiaoran, and immediately arranged for her to sign a contract with her own brokerage company, intending to vigorously cultivate her.

But Li Xiaoran didn't appreciate it, and was publicly complained by Zhao Baogang:

She is very playful and willing to fall in love, and her acting is really not good.

However, Zhao Baogang did once say: "If her personality changes, she will be ten times more popular than now." ”

Indeed, Zhou Xun, who once co-produced "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" with Li Xiaoran, recalled that he was shocked when he saw her for the first time: "Wow, it's really beautiful!"

And Chen Shu, who studied in Beiwu with her, also praised in the interview:

"She is already very generous at the age of 14, with thick eyelashes and fair skin......"

Pan Yueming, who has worked together, also described Li Xiaoran as follows: "My first impression is that she is a big beauty with long legs. ”

But the public seems to have a different evaluation of her, some people think that she looks bitter, although she is very beautiful, but the more she looks at it, the more bitter she feels.

That's right, this feeling is not only in appearance, although Li Xiaoran's debut and fame are smooth, whether it is love or friendship, it seems that he has suffered a more distressing experience than betrayal.

Before becoming famous, she met the "little transparent" Xie Na at that time through the actor Liu Ye of the same agency around 1999.

The two fell in love very well and soon became friends, when they ate and slept together and spent a youthful friendship time.

But in fact, it was mainly Xie Na who rubbed Li Xiaoran at that time - after all, she was from Beijing, and Xie Na was drifting north, and her career was still clueless.

Li Xiaoran achieved financial freedom by starring in works such as "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" and "Love in the Sunshine", and also bought a house in Beijing.

After that, she gave Xie Na the key to her house, and the two lived a "cohabitation life".

It is reported that Xie Na received the job of hosting "Kuaiben" in the future, and Li Xiaoran specially invited her to dinner the night in advance to celebrate.

But at that time, she didn't expect that the friendship between the two would end soon - Xie Na's career was like a fish in water after entering Mango Terrace, and the relationship between her and Liu Ye was also extremely sweet.

After more work, the intersection of the two girls is less.

It wasn't until many years later that Li Xiaoran went to the "fast book" again, and Xie Na had said bluntly in public: "I didn't save your phone." ”

After that, they never crossed paths.

During this period, Li Xiaoran almost ruined his career because of a love that was called "something in the palm of his hand" by the outside world.

In 2005, she had already gained a firm foothold in your circle and unexpectedly met the third generation of Hong's grandson Donghai due to the filming of the emotional drama "Paris Fairy Tale".

The man started with real estate in his early years, and later entered the film and television investment industry, and gradually had the title of "domestic entertainment to Huaqiang".

At the same time, he is also a rumored "actress sniper" in the outside world, and has had scandals with many female stars.

And the heroine who made the most trouble at that time was Li Xiaoran.

3. The realistic version of "The Thing in the Palm", marrying a male girlfriend after ups and downs

If it weren't for the fact that director Yan Po was stabbed 13 times on the street in mid-2010, perhaps this matter would not have been known to the public.

At that time, Yan Po and Li Xiaoran were in love, and his identity was also very special:

was originally a small clerk in an advertising company, but he accidentally met actress Mei Ting from a dinner, and the two fell in love and got married, so he transformed into a director.

But their marriage lasted only a few years before falling apart around 2005.

In 2008, because of directing the romantic drama "Yin Dan Shilin", Yan Po and Li Xiaoran sparked, and immediately began to fall in love in a low-key manner.

Before that, her love with her ex Sun Donghai was even more thrilling, because Yan Po was kan, Li Xiaoran revealed in an interview that she had been threatened by the other party for 4 years.

It is reported that during the relationship between the two, the man was extremely controlling, and even staged scenes such as listening to phone calls, stalking domestic violence, and threatening family members.

For this reason, Li Xiaoran once filmed like crazy, even if he encountered a bad script, he did not hesitate to "go out", just to avoid his ex.

But what I didn't expect was that after meeting the current Yan Po, Sun Donghai still didn't want to let go, and even the Kan incident that shocked internal entertainment occurred.

At that time, many insiders came forward to break the news, saying that Li Xiaoran was an interferant and was suspected of cheating, and in the end, it was Yan Po's ex-wife Mei Ting who came forward to testify, which made her whitewashed.

And even if he is deeply involved in all kinds of negative news, Li Xiaoran's resources have not been broken:

The year after the incident, she also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and performed the sketch "Midnight Phone Booth".

In the same year, Li Xiaoran also had 4 film and television works broadcast one after another.

But it was also this year that she took over the filming of the TV series "Too Late to Say I Love You" with her friend Xu Jianing as the producer for many years, and it successfully became popular.

However, while her career became popular, Li Xiaoran and Yan Po's love was tested - at that time, she was also revealed to have overeaten because of frustration in love.

In 2013, at the press conference of the new drama "Angel Comes Tonight", Li Xiaoran announced in public that she was pregnant, and it was suspected that something good was coming.

But she didn't expect that only three months later, she would lose this child.

The following year, she and Yan Po finally ended their relationship for several years and regretfully broke up.

During this period, Xu Jianing, a good "best friend", has always been by his side.

When the two met in Weiwei, Li Xiaoran was only 17 years old at the time, and because of the filming of "The Case of Double Phoenix", he met Xu Jianing, who was also an actor.

The man's family background is also good, and he started working as a producer in the early 90s.

It is reported that he fell in love with Li Xiaoran at first sight in his early years, but he has always had a male companion by his side.

Until Li Xiaoran and Yan Po broke up completely, Xu Jianing has been devoted to accompanying her, and also made up the lie that she has "three highs", and dragged her to run, and the relationship between the two gradually warmed up.

After that, they got married in a low-key manner abroad the following year, and Xu Jianing also said to Li Xiaoran arrogantly when he proposed: "Marry me, give you 500 million, let you do it!"

Unfortunately, on the wedding day, her former best friend Xie Na did not attend due to work.

After that, Li Xiaoran started the life of a wealthy man, and he always looked sweet when interviewed.

In her career, she still maintains the frequency of two or three dramas a year, although she is no longer the female number one who was in the limelight many years ago, but every time she appears, she will rush to the hot search because she is in good shape.

It can be said that the 48-year-old Li Xiaoran really can't see too many traces of time on her face, and she is a veritable "goddess of frozen age", and behind this must be her family's happiness, so she lives more and more naïve.

At the beginning of last year, Li Xiaoran took out "With You in This Life" starring his old partner Zhong Hanliang;

This year, she is amazing again because of her performance in "Fireworks People".

Even if she is 48 years old, playing the mother of a girl of a few years old is not inconsistent.

She was once involved in a bloody peachy incident because of "too beautiful", but she was always calm, tenacious and confident, and lived a life that everyone envied: she has a career, good looks, and money, and she is really worth blessing.
