1. The dazzling chapter of Chen Xiao in 2024
On the TV screen, the 36-year-old Chen Xiao is passionately expressing his understanding and pursuit of the profession of "actor": "Like many excellent actors, my mission is not only to play every role well, but also to dig deep into the ideological connotation of the role given by the script, and interpret the real and vivid character image with excellent performance skills."
The interview screen switched instantly, and many top satellite TV stations sounded the replay of his classic works at the same time, and his new masterpiece - the TV series "Little Day", which was on the air at that time, was also in full swing to attract the audience's attention.
Although the online world's evaluation of this work is complex and diverse, and some viewers have sharply criticized its old-fashioned plot and lack of clear character creation, however, there are also many viewers who have praised Chen Xiao's superb acting skills, and they praised him for successfully interpreting the role of "nest husband" Zhu Jincao to life, which makes people have an emotional resonance of both love and hate for this character.
Although word-of-mouth is polarized, this has not stopped "Little Day" from achieving impressive results in ratings. According to relevant data, the show even once topped the daily champion of the CVB list for a period of time, which shows that Chen Xiao's extraordinary popularity and extraordinary charm as an actor are still the same.
At the same time, other David TV stations have also chosen to replay Chen Xiao's classic masterpieces, making this low-key and introverted powerful actor the focus of public attention again.
It is precisely because of Chen Xiao's excellent acting skills and grasp of the depth of the role that he sounded the alarm for the majority of actors with his own practical actions: the choice of script must be treated carefully, otherwise it will directly affect the actor's personal reputation.
However, a real actor can perform a variety of different types of roles vividly and vividly, and win wide recognition from the audience, which is the most critical factor Chen Xiao is such an actor, although he has suffered controversy in the interpretation of some roles, but his own acting strength is undoubted.
Second, in the new year of 2011, Chen Xiao's star journey began to show its edge
Let's turn back the clock to that hopeful moment in 2011. At that time, Chen Xiao was still an unknown newcomer in the film and television industry, however, his god of luck quietly came.
In that year, the talented director Yu Zhenghui saw the talent and discovered Chen Xiao, a young actor with unlimited potential, so he did not hesitate to include Chen Xiao under his company.
Since then, Chen Xiao has made his debut on the screen, although he has not played many roles in the hit drama "Palace Lock Bead Curtain", just a role, but his unique temperament and dazzling brilliance are enough to make people impress him.
Yu Zheng knew that Chen Xiao was a piece of jade with high artistic value, so in the next few years, he was always committed to carefully planning Chen Xiao to play more and more important roles, providing him with ample exposure opportunities and sufficient space for exercise.
There is no doubt that in 2013, Chen Xiao played the role of Lin Ping, who is entangled in grievances and difficult to distinguish between good and evil, in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" directed by the famous director Yu Zheng, and won a good reputation and praise from the audience and friends with his accurate and wonderful interpretation and excellent performance skills.
Since then, his popularity has gradually increased, and so has his popularity.
Yu Zheng understood the importance of timing, struck while the iron was hot, and quickly selected Chen Xiao and the hot new generation actress Zhao Liying as the heroes and heroines of the costume drama "The Legend of Lu Zhen".
Initially, the audience was skeptical about the lineup starring the two fledgling young actors. However, with the in-depth development of the plot, Chen Xiao and Zhao Liying's superb acting skills successfully won the love and recognition of the audience.
This TV series not only performed well in terms of ratings, but also ushered in an unprecedented peak in the acting careers of the two leading actors, and they became high-profile new generation stars.
What's even more striking is that the sweet couple image they show in the play has made many fans crazy, and they are expecting them to spark in real life and enter the palace of marriage.
After all, the kiss scene between Chen Xiao and Zhao Liying in the play was so sweet and moving, and the two were also surrounded by the rumors of "popular love" at that time.
Third, the truth was revealed and caused a sensation
Regarding the question of whether Chen Xiao and Zhao Liying are really in love, the audience finally got a vague answer in a popular variety show. When the host asked about this sensitive topic bluntly, Zhao Liying just glanced at Chen Xiao shyly, and Chen Xiao responded mysteriously: "Keep it a secret for the time being."
This ambiguous response undoubtedly aroused the curiosity of the audience, and instantly set off a heated discussion and speculation on the Internet. Some people firmly believe that Chen Xiao's "keep it secret for the time being" is a tacit acquiescence to the relationship between the two, and some people say that they may just be used by the crew to create topics and attract attention.
Just when everyone's eyes were still focused on this pair of "Lu Chen CP", a photo was suddenly exposed, in which Chen Xiao and Zhao Liying were holding hands at a certain crew, smiling, and looking very intimate.
At this moment, everyone is sure that they are definitely a true love. Now, it's just a matter of waiting for the day when they will be officially revealed.
Who would have expected that under the gaze of everyone full of expectation, Chen Xiao and Chen Yanxi, two big names in the entertainment industry, suddenly announced their good news on the Internet - entering the palace of marriage! This explosive news made everyone dumbfounded! The real goddess turned out to be Chen Yanxi, who everyone is familiar with and participated in the role of Xiaolongnu in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
This result undoubtedly surprised everyone, and even Chen Xiao's fans, who have always been calm, instantly boiled. Those hardcore fans who were deeply trapped in "Lu Chen CP" and couldn't extricate themselves were even more furious, pouring all their dissatisfaction on Chen Yanxi, speculating whether Chen Xiao and his wife had problems in their marriage, and even had a fierce quarrel and separation.
However, in the face of such surging negative public opinion and doubts, Chen Xiao and his wife have always remained silent and chose to prove everything with practical actions. They decided to "lie flat" and enjoy their happy life with peace of mind, and no longer pay attention to the gossip of the outside world.
As the famous actor Liu Luanxiong once said: "For rumors, even if we clarify them in time, there will always be new rumors coming one after another."
Fourth, keep a low profile and accumulate a good reputation
In fact, Chen Xiao has always been a low-key and humble artist. In the face of the accusations and guidance of public opinion, he never responded, let alone took the initiative to hype up or take the opportunity to gain attention.
In Chen Xiao's eyes, instead of spending a lot of time dealing with meaningless criticism, it is better to focus more on studying the script and improving acting skills.
Perhaps because of this, his exposure in the media has declined in recent years, giving people the illusion that he has "retired from the background and returned to his family to concentrate on taking care of his children". But this is not the case, Chen Xiao is still devoted to his career as an actor, but he chooses to keep a low profile.
It wasn't until this year that the name Chen Xiao regained the attention of the audience as many TV stations began to rebroadcast the classic TV series he starred in, as well as the hit of his new work "Little Days".
However, as soon as this high-profile new drama was broadcast, it was subjected to fierce criticism and questioning.
The plot is old-fashioned, the character image is thunderous, and many other problems have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. In particular, the role of her husband Zhu Jincao played by Chen Xiao has become the target of public criticism because of his typical "nest" character.
He relied on the generosity of his father-in-law and mother-in-law when buying a house, and what was even more unexpected was that when his wife suffered from the troubles and difficulties of his own mother, as a husband, he could not stand up and hold up an umbrella for his beloved.
All of this can't help but make people deeply doubt Zhu Jincao's illusory promise of "vowing to earn a lot of wealth and build a happy life for you", and even feel extremely disgusted!
And Tong Yao, who plays the heroine Gu Jasmine, has become the focus of heated discussions among netizens because her performance in the play is too perfect and selfless dedication like "Our Lady", and has even been criticized and blamed by many netizens.
However, despite the controversy surrounding the character setting, Chen Xiao's superb interpretation of the role of Zhu Jincao still won praise from many audiences. It is precisely because Chen Xiao portrayed Zhu Jincao vividly that the audience has complex emotions about this seemingly "nested" character, both love and hate, but has never expressed any doubts about Chen Xiao's acting skills.
Part 5: Only by the actor's own weight can he be deaf and clear
For Chen Xiao, being able to get the favor of excellent scripts is undoubtedly the greatest blessing in life. After years of hard work and precipitation, he has now grown into a hot and popular actor.
However, with the increase in popularity, all kinds of gossip have also come one after another, but in the face of these doubts and criticisms, Chen Xiao has never made a direct response.
He seems to uphold a philosophy of life that is self-purifying, and instead of spending a lot of time justifying those groundless speculations and malicious evaluations, it is better to devote precious time and energy to in-depth study of the script and sharpen his acting skills.
Perhaps it is precisely with this attitude of life that focuses on the career itself that each of Chen Xiao's works will arouse enthusiastic responses as soon as they are released.
As for how to interpret the characters in the play, Chen Xiao also has unique insights. In his eyes, the actor's duty is to do his best to accurately interpret the character given to him in the script, and even if the character setting may attract public dissatisfaction and disgust, he will still devote himself to creating the character image that the director wants.
Just like the role of Zhu Jincao, the "wretched husband" in the TV series "Little Day", although many netizens have a lot of dissatisfaction with him, Chen Xiao still tried his best to interpret it to the fullest, thus winning the audience's high recognition of his acting skills.
In fact, this is a profound insight that Chen Xiao extracted from his own real experience, and he issued a sincere "warning" to the majority of actors in the way of words and deeds - as actors, we must learn to discern pearls and be able to accurately select the right script; however, in the face of any difficulties and challenges, we should hold our chests up, muster up courage, and go all out to shape each role, which is the greatest respect and awe for the profession!
