[▶> an unforgettable ugly man <◀]
If you mention Ju Xingmao, you may not know who he is, but if I talk about "Mother's Road" and "Dog Stick", if you think these works are not big enough production, then what about "Smiling Proud Jianghu"?
If you still don't think it's big enough for the big screen, how about "Cannon Twin Lights" and "Scarlet Morning"?
I still can't think of it, what about "Dice", "Laizi" and "Five Sons"?
Counting the works that Ju Xingmao has participated in, almost all of them are big directors, big productions, and big traffic, Ju Xingmao's appearance can be called "thief's eyebrows and mouse eyes", and it is definitely "refreshing" and "unforgettable" ugly when he appears.
is such an ugly man, Li Shaohong's "satisfaction" of "looking for her thousands of times in the crowd", and the irreplaceable "Brother Dou" under Director Peace's works.
But he is definitely not the best actor who wins a place by virtue of his ugly match, but what if you add "Soul Ferry", "Mother's Road" and "Dog Stick" are also directed by him?
All his works have so far received more than 10 billion viewers, and he is known as the "10 billion director", and he has earned hundreds of millions of yuan in his film career for several years.
In this way, to sum up, there is still something on Ju Xingmao's body!
This suddenly reminded me of Stephen Chow's classic line about the actor's self-cultivation: "No matter what you do, if you do a little better than others, others will be jealous of you; ”
Of course, Ju Xingmao is also from Chinese opera, but he did a group performance for 7 years before entering Chinese opera!
Following the huge army of actors with ideals outside the door of Chinese film and television, Ju Xingmao, who endured the wind and sun in order to compete for a small role, has gone through many years of career.
Running tricks, Mr. Chen Daoming once ran for 7 years, but in this era of "fast food" out of the circle, 7 years means being beaten at the bottom.
At the age of 14, Ju Xingmao packed his bags and started his "North Drift" journey!
Then every day Ju Xingmao will be outside the door of Beijing Film Studio, waiting to be named by Lady Luck today, and every day looking forward to the role he plays today being recognized by the director and becoming an instant hit on the screen.
But fantasy is fantasy, and when you come back to reality, you still have to tiptoe around for whether there is filming at the moment, waiting for the casting director to "flop".
In the days when there was no drama, in the basement, under the bridge, in the days of hunger, hunger and cold, they all relied on the longing and love for the door, and persevered all the way.
If you think about it, maybe fate had already made a decision at that time.
In the summer of 1990, under the scorching sun and yellow sand on the high slope of the loess, when the peasants who had to rely on the sky for food and the soil for food for several generations stood densely on the adobe wool wall to look at the beautiful "city people" who came to make movies and select actors, those impressions of the city that could only rely on the intersection of neighbors from generation to generation in the past had a fresh and concrete understanding.
When the most "powerful" woman in the middle points to a little boy who is nicknamed "rat spirit" by the village children, the gears of fate, which had been considered unshakable at that time, began to move in a new direction.
[▶> an "ugly man" who dares to chase his dreams<◀]
The appearance of the "rat spirit" who was teased by the neighbors in the countryside in the col gave Ju Xingmao a unique "luck" on the big screen of film and television.
Compared with those evaluations that are "neither good-looking nor ugly", "a little good-looking, not ugly enough", Ju Xingmao stands out in the appearance of destroying everyone.
Compared with the role of being able to play a clever role when he was a child, in the world of the screen, only "appearance" justice and "ugliness" are distinct, and the "ugliness" of Ju Xingmao seems to have built a "shortcut" to the ideal.
So as an "old" actor with a distinct image, more and more opportunities and more and more lines made him gradually emerge.
Although he was born in a mountain col and did not read much, Ju Xingmao still understands that he may be able to get a temporary opportunity just by relying on a "face", but time will not tolerate a "fool" jumping around, and actors live by "acting" and live a long and decent life.
Therefore, Ju Xingmao began to take advantage of filming, and "stealing scenes" became a daily habit.
"Stealing scenes" with old drama bones, "stealing scenes" with the director, and "stealing scenes" with colleagues who act together, this "thief-eyed" kid shuttles through the theater, really like a "mouse" running around.
He not only "stole" but also "cast", he used the meager income saved by soaking steamed buns in cold water to "dot" the relationship, just to get more resources to play tricks, and at the same time secretly applied for the Chinese opera exam without others.
Stephen Chow's spirit of running a trick is worth learning, but a straight trick is not worth advocating, Ju Xingmao realized that he may not be able to be the protagonist in this life, but he can become a qualified trick or even an excellent trick, and he also needs to continue to absorb nutrients.
Ju Xingmao has completed an awakening in his 7-year career. And the opportunity finally came to this young man who fed on his dreams.
When the crew of "How Much Love Can Come Again" began to choose roles, Ju Xingmao got the opportunity to interview with his resources and connections, but there was only one rich second-generation role left and no one was selected!
Even if there are no actors, the image of the rich second generation has already been solidified into all kinds of "gold and jade and ruined in it", or "silver-like wax gun head", anyway, it is not an "ugly".
Ju Xingmao is the least favored of all the interviewees, but he was selected by the director to become the most suitable candidate.
is such a contrasting combination of a rich second generation and an ugly man, which made Ju Xingmao perform the most impressive scene in this play.
has not yet entered the class, but he has the soul that a good actor should have.
His acquaintance and acquaintance with director Guo Jingyu probably happened under such a kind of gathering of similar things, and since then, "Laizi" was born, followed by stories and popular works that we are familiar with.
However, it is also in the exchange of friends and nobles along the way that a new soul of a director emerges from the dream of an ugly match.
In 1993, still in the sun and yellow sand, a thin boy ran on the high slope of the loess, leaving behind a wave of loess.
On more than 100 miles of mountain roads, the boy rushed to the crew of "Cannon Twin Lights" without hesitation, just to recommend himself for Mao Sui to fight for the opportunity to appear in the movie again. So Ju Xingmao became "Brother Dou", and he also became the dream of himself many years later.
[▶> a director who dares to say "no"<◀]
When people are still talking about the "ugly man" of 160 who counterattacked and drove a luxury car to marry a beautiful woman, Ju Xingmao spent 26 years all the way from a poor col in the mountains to a director of tens of billions of dollars, as if he was also covered under the "halo".
Ju Xingmao is lucky, just because of the big director's sentence "he has to be", he has a "whimsy" that he shouldn't have.
So in the ridicule of others, he dared to say "no" to the label that others defined himself, and he ran all the way from the poor ravine to the door of the Beijing Film Studio.
Under the obstruction and attack of others, he dared to say "no" to the suppression of others for him, he "stole the show", "stole the teacher" and "secretly reported the play".
In the "ugly man" and "inappropriate" of others, he dared to say no "no" to negative evaluations, took the initiative to recommend himself again and again, and did not miss any opportunity to try out the play, was denied, ignored, and moderated, and then in the praise of others again and again, those negative emotions were broken!
Is it lucky? Without luck, there is no starting point, but how can the storm along the way be said to be lucky? Is it a counterattack? But all the way to the noble people to help each other, all the way to the "connections" to open the road, how can it be regarded as the mud splash of the car and horses?
Destiny determines the starting point, talent determines the path, and attitude determines the end.
Ju Xingmao was once invited by CCTV to shoot "The Most Beautiful Youth", and the "Saihanba Spirit" depicted here is probably the work that best describes his soul experience.
Curiosity, likability, and the vulgarity of the floating world are all catering to the needs of making a living. Only the roaring cry of the soul will appear silent in the midst of the noise.
I think of the back of the yellow sand that once rolled down, constantly running for goals and ideals.
The wind, hunger, cold, and embarrassment along the way still do not reduce the flame of dreams in my heart, and I am firm all the way, running all the way, and leaving all the noise behind me all the way.
But don't forget that there is also a premise that for 26 years, the fate that can't be held on to is not called fate, it's called a chance encounter, an accidental rub with luck, and the one who persists is called a counterattack.
Today's Ju Xingmao will take selfies from time to time on the media about the current situation, from what he saw and heard on the journey to the landscape paintings, the little dragon who used to work hard for a small role, now he has realized the life of poetry and wine.
Ju Xingmao's most valuable journey should not be his "10 billion director", but his "10 billion soul" that has been turbulent all the way.
