Preface
What kind of life experiences did he go through to finally become popular at the age of 40? What are the ups and downs of an actor known as the "golden supporting actor in domestic dramas"? Let us approach this "second generation star" Wang Xiao from an acting family to explore his tortuous and extraordinary dream-chasing process.
Absent parents, haunting dream of an actor
Wang Xiao was born in an acting family, and his mother Wang Fuli is a well-known actor in China, who has won many awards such as the Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Rooster Award; His father, Wang Qun, was engaged in stage drama directing.
Due to the particularity of his parents' work, Wang Xiao has been separated from them since he was a child, and can only live with his grandparents in the small county town of his hometown.
In that quiet and peaceful town, Wang Xiao, like other children, wandered in groups in the fields after school, frolicking.
However, unlike other children, in his childhood memories, there is always a lack of the shadow of his parents.
Whenever he saw other children being affectionately embraced by their parents, there would always be an indescribable sourness and melancholy in his heart.
Despite this, Wang Xiao has a sincere yearning for his acting career.
Perhaps inheriting the genes of his parents, he dreamed of becoming an excellent actor like his mother since he was a child, standing in the spotlight and shining his own light.
It's a pity that when he told his parents about this idea, he was strongly opposed by them.
As former practitioners, they know all too well the hardships and darkness of showbiz.
In order to prevent his son from repeating his mistakes, Wang Qun even dissuaded him bitterly: "Filming is too tiring, I don't support you to film."
Faced with his parents' tough attitude, the young Wang Xiao fell into contradictions.
Disobedience to parents
As a young and heroic teenager, Wang Xiao could not understand his parents' intentions, but strengthened his determination to be an actor.
When he filled in the volunteer for high school, he resolutely chose a film and television college, but failed due to the obstruction of his parents.
\"The mountain is not me, I come to the mountain." Although the road is temporarily impassable, Wang Xiao did not give up.
At the age of 18, he had a whim and proposed the idea of studying abroad to his parents.
And his real purpose is to get out of the control of his parents first, go to Russia to learn Russian, and prepare for the Moscow Film Academy in the future.
Although the mother Wang Fuli had reservations about her son's idea, she finally agreed to it out of the idea that "as long as he doesn't film, he can do anything".
Who would have thought that Wang Xiao's months of hard work in Russia only allowed him to verify one fact: he was not suitable for learning Russian.
The tenacity and determination to change the battlefield and go far
After being forced to give up his plans in Russia, Wang Xiao did not give up.
On the contrary, he was even more determined to find another path to his dream.
Eventually, Wang sent him to Canada, where he studied 3D animation, with a secret hope: maybe this time, he would change his mind.
However, Wang Xiao's mind is not on his studies at all.
His obsession with being an actor is like a raging fire that can't be extinguished no matter what.
After graduating with a bachelor's degree, he studied for a master's degree in business administration, during which he and his long-time classmate girlfriend achieved positive results, and the two came together.
The joy of love did not shake his determination to dream, on the contrary, it was more like giving him the motivation to move forward.
At the age of 26, Wang Xiao resolutely resigned from his job in Canada, and returned to his homeland to start a new chapter in his life with his dreams and the blessings of his family.
Authorized for three years
Mother's Last Hope After returning to China, Wang Xiao confided his thoughts to his mother bluntly.
Seeing that her son was so persistent in being an actor, Wang Fuli couldn't hide the helplessness in her heart, but finally made concessions.
She gave Wang Xiao three years, and if he still hadn't achieved anything after three years, he had to give up his dream and go to work honestly.
As a famous actor, Wang Fuli naturally wants to do her best to pave the way forward for her son on the road of acting.
She took the initiative to use her connections in the circle to introduce some roles to Wang Xiao.
In this way, in 2005, Wang Xiao officially starred in the first work of his life and successfully embarked on the road of actor.
Exploring the path alone, refusing his mother's help
After his debut, Wang Xiao has played a supporting role in some works.
Although it is only a small achievement, it is already a good start for a young actor.
But Wang Xiao was not happy, because he felt that everything he obtained came from his mother's resources, not from his own strength.
An unprecedented anxiety and inferiority complex enveloped his heart: if he had been so dependent on his mother, he would never be able to become a real actor.
So, uncharacteristically, he began to refuse his mother to introduce him to the script.
Without his mother's help, Wang Xiao's career as an actor fell into a confused and difficult predicament, and sometimes he couldn't even receive a role for a long time.
During this frustrated time, he even began to wonder if he was really suitable for this profession.
Weight loss breakout
New look, new opportunities Just when Wang Xiao was confused, his mother Wang Fuli saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart.
Seventeen. One day, she suddenly said to Wang Xiao: "You can try to lose weight." \" woke up the dreamer with a word, Wang Xiao suddenly brightened up and decided to start a weight loss adventure.
After nearly a year of hard work, he finally managed to lose 60 pounds and control his weight at about 120 pounds.
This change directly brought new opportunities to him.
Since then, he has been given more opportunities to perform, although he is still not famous, but the situation is much better than before.
More importantly, through this experience, Wang Xiao finally realized that in order to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, it is far from enough to rely on the conditions of his family.
His parents also realized this and decided to stop providing him with any convenience and let him fight for it completely on his own.
The opportunity finally appeared, auditioning for "Our Family"
Time flies, and in this way, Wang Xiao has spent 6 years in his career.
In 2011, the opportunity finally came.
Mother Wang Fuli witnessed her son's perseverance in the past few years, and introduced him to an audition for a small role in the family ethics drama "We Are Family".
Although it is only a small role and there are not many lines, it is of great significance to Wang Xiao.
It was the first time he had been given a role entirely on his own, and it also marked the beginning of his own path from his mother's help and resources.
For this role, Wang Xiao made a lot of preparations.
He repeatedly studied the script, delved into the character traits of the characters, and put a lot of effort into every detail.
Finally, in a fierce competition for the role, he won the unanimous praise of the judges with his outstanding performance and won the role.
Although this drama did not play a big role in promoting Wang Xiao's career development, it made a breakthrough in the relationship between mother and son.
When the mother saw her son's hard work and enthusiasm for his career, she felt a sense of pride in her heart.
Since then, she has never objected to Wang Xiao's decision to become an actor.
Crawl and roll
Becoming acquainted with a well-known actor Although it is only a small role in "We Are Family", this means a lot to Wang Xiao.
Since then, he has still played small roles with only a few scenes in various plays, but because of his work in major crews, he has met many well-known actors, such as the popular actress Yang Mi.
Yang Mi soon discovered Wang Xiao's plasticity and potential, and did not hesitate to sign him when he set up his own studio.
With the protection of Yang Mi, the "big tree" in the entertainment industry, Wang Xiao's career development has finally improved.

He has repeatedly performed well in many hit dramas, each character has its own unique characteristics, and strives for excellence in the portrayal of scripts and characters, so that the audience has a sense of immersion and personal experience.
In 2020, he played the role of his boss "Yang Ke" in the urban drama "Golden Years", and played this seemingly ruthless workplace elite quite well.
He used his eyes, tone, expression and other subtleties to vividly show Yang Ke's ambivalence of pursuing career success but being lonely and empty in his heart, leaving an indelible impression on people.
The superb acting skills injected a unique charm into this character, which attracted a large number of young audiences in one fell swoop, and was known as "Uncle Circle Heavenly Food".
In 2023, Wang Xiao's role as "Yang Jian" in the dark horse of the plot "Hurricane" has caused a sensation.
He perfectly interprets the image of this unswerving anti-narcotics policeman who is stuck in the quagmire, and portrays a seemingly ordinary character into flesh and blood and a distinct personality.
With a new image and outstanding acting skills, he successfully stood out among a group of second-generation stars, and was recognized as an excellent actor who relied purely on strength rather than family background.
Today, Wang Xiao has become a well-known first-line actor, and every time he plays a new role, he will bring new surprises and arouse heated discussions among the audience.
