Focus on the latest trends of artists and convey the mainstream voices in the circle.
In April 2024, although he is only 35 years old, Chen Xiao's face has already shown some perseverance and maturity after years of precipitation. Although he still had a handsome face like a knife, which was unforgettable, the light in those eyes was already a little dim, revealing a deep melancholy.
This powerful actor, who was once praised by the well-known director Ding Hei as "sincere and frank, with a firm belief in things", and was vigorously promoted by screenwriter Yu Zheng as a "first-line student", now seems to have disappeared from the public eye, and few works have come out, which can't help but cause people to speculate about whether he has withdrawn from the entertainment industry.
Chen Xiao looked out the window with a hint of sadness, quietly recalling his tortuous and extraordinary life journey. From an unknown young man in a small town, he gradually embarked on the performance path of his dreams, went through countless hardships and hardships, and finally climbed to the top.
Just when he was full of ambition, fate threw him into the trough again. On this thorny artistic road, he has gained endless honors, and at the same time, he has deeply experienced the ruthlessness of the warmth and coldness of the world and human feelings.
If you want to trace the source of Chen Xiao's life, you have to mention his smart and talented childhood. He was born in 1987 into a family of scholars in Hefei, Anhui Province, where his father and grandfather were both senior officials in the medical system, and his mother and aunt worked in the field of education.
Since he was a child, he has shown extraordinary talent, and his cute and handsome appearance even made nurses mistakenly think he was a little girl.
As he grew older, Chen Xiao gradually showed a lively and active personality and liked to run around and play. Since his family was busy with work and could not be with him all the time, he behaved more and more freely.
After much deliberation, his parents decided to send him to learn calligraphy and painting, hoping to regulate his personality in the hope of regulating his personality. Although Chen Xiao was not enthusiastic about this at first, as time passed, he was gradually attracted by the unique charm of calligraphy and painting, devoted himself to it, and became more and more sensible and obedient.
When he turned 10 years old, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity opened the door to acting. The famous director Ms. Zhang Jindi visited the Children's Palace to select child stars for the new drama, and she was attracted by Chen Xiao, who was dedicated to splashing ink at a glance, and fell in love with his handsome, delicate, restrained and melancholy temperament.
After obtaining the approval of his parents, with a strong desire to explore and passionate enthusiasm, Chen Xiao embarked on the journey to join the drama team. Under the careful guidance of the senior brothers and sisters, Chen Xiao's talented acting talent was vividly displayed, and his superb acting skills won the praise of the audience and industry insiders.
Even though it was just an inconspicuous supporting role, it sowed the seeds of yearning for performing arts in Chen Xiao's heart. At the moment of parting, Director Zhang affectionately encouraged him: "As long as you continue to grow, you will definitely be able to successfully enter the Central Academy of Drama and light a light for your future path!"
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, in 2005, Chen Xiao finally stepped into the door of the coveted Central Academy of Drama with endless longing for his acting career. During his time at school, he was strict with himself, eating alone every day, going to the library to study, and in addition to attending classes and rehearsals, he devoted himself to the in-depth study and obsession with director Wong Kar-wai's films.
More than two-thirds of his monthly living expenses are used by him to rent and buy Wong Kar-wai's DVDs. His roommates would often see him curled up in the corner of the dormitory, nibbling on hard steamed buns, engrossed in the world of the movie, and sitting all day long, so he was affectionately nicknamed "Xiaoqiang".
In his junior year, the school opened for the first time for students to try to participate in film and television drama shooting, and Chen Xiao's acting career has since opened a new chapter. However, the road to the north was not an easy one, and he was repeatedly frustrated and neglected, and his future was once uncertain.
It was during this most difficult period that he met director Lee Kam Man, who was in the neighboring crew, and thus got the precious opportunity to perform on the same stage with film superstars such as Andy Lau and Leung Ka-fai.
Although there is only a short 50-second shot and only two pages of lines, his superb acting skills have won warm applause and unanimous praise from the audience.
Since then, with the strong recommendation of the head teacher, Chen Xiao has begun to get more and more performance opportunities, and his career has gradually shown a momentum of vigorous development. However, despite his best efforts, he was never able to stand out in this highly competitive red sea.
Until he met director Ding Hei, Ding Hei bluntly pointed out: "Filming requires a deep understanding of the connotation of the character in order to really move people's hearts." This sentence was like a slap in the face, which made Chen Xiao suddenly realize.
Since then, he has adjusted his mentality, no longer blindly pursuing quantity, but paying more attention to the quality improvement of the works themselves.
Soon after, the talented Chen Xiao won a warm invitation from Huayi Brothers to officially join the company with his extraordinary interpretation skills and the noble quality of unwavering efforts.
More importantly, he was fortunate to get acquainted with the well-known screenwriter Yu Zheng, and was highly recognized and fully supported by Yu Zheng, so that he successfully became one of the hottest new generation of actors, starring in many high-profile TV series.
While his career is booming, Chen Xiao's personal emotional life has also experienced many ups and downs. When he was in college, he met and fell in love with Xu Song's cousin Yu Zhengyao, and the two faced each other day and night, looking at each other and smiling, warm and sweet.
Yu Zhengyao's lively and cheerful, fresh and refined personality deeply attracted the introverted and reserved Chen Xiao, in order to pursue the love of his heart, he did his best to pay attention to her interests and hobbies, and accompanied her to stroll the streets and go on romantic dates.
Although Yu Zhengyao was still concerned about his old lover at that time and could not completely let go of the past, Chen Xiao always remained patient, and finally touched the girl's heart with his sincere and persistent care and care.
The good times are always short-lived, and they are about to face the serious challenges of separation. When graduation was approaching, Chen Xiao had to leave Beijing and go to a foreign land to work hard, starting a long and difficult journey of long-distance relationship.
With endless nostalgia, he personally sent Yu Zhengyao into the gate of the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, watched her back disappear into the vast sea of people, and then boarded the train to Beijing alone and began a difficult career in the north.
The painful torture of a long-distance relationship, the entanglement of separation and integration, and the huge pressure of their careers have gradually cracked the relationship between the two. After the breakup, Chen Xiao fell into a trough and was mentally depressed, but he did not give up because of this, and still looked forward to the future with hope.
With the gradual development and growth of his career, he and Yang Ping, a rising star in the film and television industry, sparked a spark of love, and the two were deeply in love, and even publicly expressed their affection for each other on social media.
However, this relationship also did not last long, and Yang Ping couldn't bear the troubles of gossip, and finally chose to log out of Weibo, propose to break up, and leave gloomily.
After the breakup, Chen Xiao devoted himself to his acting career. In this year, he played the role of Lin Ping in the well-crafted martial arts masterpiece "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and his superb acting skills won wide praise from the audience.
followed by the costume inspirational drama "The Legend of Lu Zhen" co-starring with the popular actress Zhao Liying, the two gradually developed feelings during the filming process, looked at each other and smiled, full of tacit understanding.
Zhao Liying's brave, fearless, and indomitable character deeply shocked Chen Xiao and made him fall for it.
In that special year, he approached and cared for the budding star with enthusiasm. In the midst of their day and night companionship, day and night, a deep emotion that is unforgettable, sincere and touching is slowly brewed.
However, what is sad is that they both regard their careers as an indispensable and important part of their lives, which also makes them unable to cross the boundaries of on-screen couples, so they can only stop there.
In the year when he joined hands with Zhao Liying, Chen Xiao inadvertently met the movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" starring Chen Yanxi. In that film, the goddess, known as the "first love of the nation", deeply attracted Chen Xiao's attention with her unique fresh temperament and superb acting skills.
Chen Yanxi's charming demeanor made him fall in love, as if the perfect goddess he had been longing for in his heart fell from the sky.
Out of his obsession with Chen Yanxi, Chen Xiao did not hesitate to take the risk of making a suggestion to director Yu Zheng and strongly recommended Chen Yanxi to be the heroine of the TV series "The Condor Heroes". Unexpectedly, Yu Zheng was deeply approving about the proposal, which eventually led to their first collaboration.
After devoting themselves to the production of this series together, Chen Xiao found that Chen Yanxi's figure was slightly thin, and she put in great efforts in order to be able to perfectly present the action scenes.
As a considerate partner, he took the initiative to take care of the "newcomer" and cared for her daily life in every detail.
During the time spent in the crew, they deeply understood each other's kindness and perseverance, gave each other spiritual encouragement and support, and an indescribable emotion quietly sprouted in their hearts.
Although the TV series "The Condor Heroes" suffered many doubts after it was broadcast, the relationship between Chen Xiao and Chen Yanxi became more and more firm. The following year, when they publicly announced their relationship, the entire entertainment industry instantly boiled.
Some netizens speculated that Chen Xiao may just want to use this opportunity to increase his popularity.
However, the sweet newlywed life soon ushered in the biggest surprise - Chen Yanxi was pregnant! In order to provide more care for her family, Chen Yanxi chose to temporarily bid farewell to the entertainment industry and serve as a housewife at home wholeheartedly.
Chen Xiao incarnated as the pillar of the family, devoting himself to his career and creating a warm and comfortable haven for his wife and children.
In the years that followed, he never discouraged himself from starring in his films, despite the mediocre response to his starring roles, but continued to forge ahead. Finally in 2017, he won many honors such as "The Most Concerned Actor on the Internet".
Until 2018, a sudden "turmoil" once again brought him into the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.
In 2018, Chen Yanxi was unfortunately involved in the fierce controversy of "Ni Anton's derailment", and she endured overwhelming abuse and human flesh searches on the Internet. As a husband, Chen Xiao couldn't help but be furious when he saw his beloved wife facing such an unfair responsibility, severely criticized those netizens who maliciously smeared, and bravely stood up to defend his wife's dignity and honor.
He comforted Chen Yanxi affectionately and said: "I always firmly believe in and strongly support you, which is my solid pillar forever. However, in the face of such heavy pressure, his wife was greatly traumatized physically and mentally, and once fell into a low point in her life, and her mental state fell to the bottom.
In order to allow his wife to recuperate with peace of mind, Chen Xiao resolutely put down the work at hand and decided to temporarily leave the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry.
After a period of adjustment and calm thinking, the high-profile artist couple finally regained their strength and responded to all doubts with practical actions. In 2019, Chen Xiao successfully created many popular masterpieces, such as the military-themed drama "The King of Land War", etc., and his superb acting skills won warm applause from the audience, and won many nominations such as Best Supporting Actor.
In 2020, he terminated his partnership with Yu Zheng Studio and started a new career journey. During this period, Chen Xiao gradually faded from his youthfulness, and changed from a flamboyant teenager in the past to a low-key, introverted, modest and polite mature man.
He no longer hyped up his personal image, but devoted himself to the creation of his works, pursuing excellence in the performing arts.
In the following years, whenever he played a new role, he always went deep into the heart of the character, and used superb acting skills to show the unique character of the character vividly, which won unanimous praise from the audience.
Recently, he is about to launch a number of new dramas, and the outside world is full of expectations for his wonderful performance.
After years of tempering and growth, Chen Xiao has achieved a gorgeous turn. He has transformed from the uninhibited "little fresh meat" to the "old drama bone" who is now low-key and pragmatic and focuses on his works.
Today, he has pushed his career to a new level, but he still sticks to his original intention and has an endless love for acting, which is the soul of an actor we admire.
