Preamble:
Do you really know the "crooked mouth" Du Xudong?
He's not just the weird-looking stinky boy on the screen!
From suffering a car accident when he was a child and leaving his lips disabled, to conquering the audience with his outstanding acting skills, Du Xudong's life story can be described as legendary.
He was not spared the youthful vigor of those young people, the hardships of his middle-aged career, and the ups and downs of his later years.
But it was the hardships along the way that made him the wise and wise he is now.
Walking by, have you ever noticed the wonderful life of this "crooked uncle"?
Let's cut through the fog and get a glimpse of the truth!
At the age of seven, he was injured in a car accident with a "crooked mouth" scar
Du Xudong was born in Beijing to an ordinary working family.
Since he was a child, he has shown extraordinary wit and artistic talent, whether singing, dancing or performing sketches, he has been praised by those around him.
Because of this, Du Xudong's parents are also very supportive of their son's future career in theater.
However, the good times did not last long, and when Du Xudong was 7 years old, an accidental fall completely changed his fate.
After the accident, he not only spent several days in a coma in the hospital, but also needed to be hospitalized for the next 3 months for oral trauma.
In the end, when Du Xudong recovered and was discharged from the hospital, he was left with a permanent "crooked mouth" disability on his face.
At first, Du Xudong and his family couldn't accept this.
In those days, good looks were a prerequisite for the success of an actor, but now because of this disability, he is uncertain that he will face many obstacles in the future.
But after some mental struggle, the family was finally relieved: it is the greatest luck to be able to live in good health.
Despite this, the "crooked mouth" did bring a lot of trouble and ridicule to Du Xudong's childhood life.
But he was not discouraged, but in his teens, he bravely joined the local theater troupe and began his long and legendary acting career.
During his time in the troupe, Du Xudong not only worked hard to rehearse the play, but also needed to practice martial arts and martial arts to exercise his skills.
Because martial arts scenes were indispensable in the repertoire at that time.
In order to reach a higher level in the future, he even took advantage of the opportunity to enlist in the army at that time and became a literary soldier.
Although life is hard, Du Xudong enjoys it and pours all his courage on the stage.
The long years pass like a white horse.
In this way, Du Xudong reached the age of more than 30 years in a flash, but he still stopped at the stage of the small troupe.
Relatives and friends all persuaded him to find another job, but his persistence in his dream never wavered.
"As long as you persevere, there will be a chance!"
Du Xudong often said this to the people around him.
TV series debut
Finally, in 1989, Du Xudong, who was 32 years old at the time, finally starred in his first TV series.
Although it was only a small role's appearance, it had already made him feel like a treasure and happy.
Since then, Du Xudong's acting career has risen like a rocket, and his works have continued one after another.
Especially in the 2003 costume drama "Mansion Gate", Du Xudong's outstanding performance made him famous in the hearts of the audience, and his popularity soared.
Interestingly, it was in this drama that Du Xudong almost left a childhood shadow on the little actor Ma Sichun!
According to the memories of the parties, Ma Sichun is filming fashionable and very young, and the role played by Du Xudong needs to kiss and pull the little girl played by Ma Sichun.
In order to pursue truth, Du Xudong can be said to be too into the play, and his intimate behavior is too realistic, which almost scared Ma Sichun to tears!
In the end, Ma Sichun had no choice but to raise the broom in his hand and smash it at Du Xudong, and the scene was quite chaotic for a while.
However, this scene also confirms from the side how good Du Xudong's acting skills are.
Although Ma Sichun cried for a long time at that time, she still admired Du Xudong's professionalism.
"At that moment, his acting skills were so realistic that I couldn't tell whether it was a play or a real thing!"
Looking back on this experience many years later, Ma Sichun said with a smile.
Create classic villains to sit firmly in the glory of film and television
With "Mansion Gate" became an instant hit, Du Xudong's career suddenly opened up.
In the next ten years, he often played those unforgettable villains in film and television dramas, and was deeply loved by the audience.
For example, the cunning Pang Tong in "New Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the violent and ferocious Meng Qinghe in "The Legend of the Divine Doctor Xilaile", etc., have all created classic characters.
It can be said that Du Xudong completely used his own experience to interpret the true meaning of the word "virtue and art".
As an actor, outstanding appearance is important, but inner solid cultivation and excellent skills are fundamental.
It is with his rich life experience and dedication to work that Du Xudong can control various complex roles and win the sincere support of the audience.
In those years, what the audience saw on the screen may just be a "crooked-mouthed stinky boy" with a strange image.
But the struggle, the tenacity and tenacity he experienced behind his heart are equally moving.
Without that terrible accident and the tempering of his youth, how could there be the legend of Du Xudong later?
A birthday video that makes people reflect on right and wrong
It stands to reason that at Du Xudong's age, he should live a leisurely life in his old age.
However, an incident occurred last year that plunged him into a monstrous wave that almost destroyed all the achievements and glory he had won.
In 2023, a telecom fraud gang on the Yunnan border was arrested in Myanmar, which even involved a pair of father-son crime group bosses ------ the "Bai family".
After being escorted back to China, the police found an amazing video when they were sweeping pornography: it turned out to be Du Xudong and several other celebrities, who made a special trip to celebrate the birthday of the "Bai family"!
For a time, this explosive news exploded on the national and even global networks!
Everyone questioned whether Du Xudong was also involved in this major fraud case and whether he intended to shield the criminals?
There is a lot of scolding, and hatred is not made of steel.
Even Du Xudong's achievements and good image during his lifetime all came to naught overnight.
In the face of such huge pressure from public opinion, Du Xudong was completely panicked.
Although he released a public statement at the first time, he flatly denied that he was involved in the crime, and explained that the video was only for good intentions and emotional considerations.
But the anger of public opinion continues unabated, with name-calling, personal attacks and even death threats emerging.
During this nightmarish period, Du Xudong couldn't sleep at night, for fear that he would be arrested by the police when he woke up the next day.
His family and agent were also harassed to his doorstep, making life difficult.
Even job opportunities were lost overnight.
Du Xudong could only temporarily withdraw from the field of vision of the entertainment industry and disappeared for several months.
Subjected to indiscriminate personal attacks
It was not until six months later, when the police thoroughly investigated the case and convicted the main culprit, that the situation eased.
After interrogation and investigation, Du Xudong was finally identified as a complete layman and did not know.
At that time, the video was shot simply according to the requirements of the organizers, and did not involve any criminal activities.
A summons cleared Du Xudong's grievances, which made his old actor breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the turmoil has dealt a heavy blow to his career and life.
The scandal not only caused him to lose a lot of job opportunities, but even some old friends alienated him.
What's even more terrifying is that Du Xudong's body and mind were also severely traumatized, and he was on the verge of collapse for a while.
Luckily, time will eventually dilute everything.
Gradually, with the continuous launch of new works, the audience slowly let go of their prejudice against Du Xudong.
More importantly, Du Xudong proved with his own practical actions that it was just an unintentional fault and did not represent his whole person.
gradually revealed his grandeur and was finally forgiven by the audience
In 2024, as the first step to make a comeback, Du Xudong starred in several TV series and online dramas produced by small and medium-sized productions.
Although the production lineup and investment are average, his superb acting skills have won a lot of praise.
Some commented: I saw the familiar old Du Xudong!
Even if it is a small role, his every look and movement reveals a good level of expertise.
Gradually, invitations for jobs and film and television projects began to come to the door in a steady stream.
Just recently, a large-scale costume drama produced by a top production company also put forward an invitation to invite Du Xudong to join.
This is undoubtedly a masterpiece of his turnaround, and if successful, it will definitely allow him to regain his foothold in this circle.
In addition to film and television work, Du Xudong has also become active in various new media and short video platforms.
His funny videos and life sharing have repeatedly become popular and popular on the Internet, winning the love of countless young people.
"Our teacher Du is so humorous!"
"I've been completely fanned by Mr. Du's charm!"
The comments of the audience all revealed their love and support for this "crooked uncle".
In this way, in everyone's expectations and encouragement, Du Xudong finally walked back to the peak of his life.
Now Du Xudong is no longer the "old drama bone" who has been misunderstood and questioned, but the "immortal legend" who continues to write a legendary life.
Epilogue:
As mentioned at the beginning, our understanding of Du Xudong actually stops at the image of the "crooked-mouthed stinky boy" on the screen.
But the bits and pieces he experienced behind him are not just as wonderful?
Some people say that movies use light and shadow to write life.
Indeed, Du Xudong's encounter is as full of twists and turns and reversals as an excellent movie, but it is also more touching.
