In the bustling and lively entertainment industry, actors are emerging in an endless stream like spring shoots, and there are countless artists with delicate appearances and solid acting skills.
When we talk about outstanding actors who not only have outstanding looks, but also have high moral cultivation and profound artistic attainments, Mr. Xin Baiqing came into being, and he is a representative of this kind of admiration and respect.
Xin Baiqing was born into an ordinary working-class family in Beijing, the capital of China, and graduated from the acting department of the Central Academy of Drama. After entering the social workplace from school, he actively devoted himself to the National Theatre and started his acting career.
Since stepping into the entertainment industry, Xin Baiqing has played a leading role or supporting role in many high-quality film and television dramas, and these repertoire are all excellent works made of in-depth excavation and careful carving.
Whether it is in the TV series "Happiness Like Flowers", which shows the demeanor of soldiers, he successfully portrayed a loyal and unyielding soldier Lin Bin, who is persistent in love, or in the movie "My Father and Mother", he perfectly presented the role of the innocent and kind young man Chen Zhi with his superb acting skills, and in the fantasy masterpiece "The Legend of the Demon Cat", he played the heroic and unrestrained poet Li Bai to the fullest.
Xin Baiqing has always been fully engaged and went all out to portray every character vividly and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
What is puzzling is that although Xin Baiqing has successfully created many wonderful screen images and won many important awards, his popularity in the entertainment industry has never reached the height it should be, and even many viewers cannot remember his name accurately.
On that scorching summer day in 1973, Xin Baiqing was quietly born in an ordinary worker's family in Beijing. His parents were hard-working, traditional factory employees, who had an extremely strict upbringing for their children, and firmly believed in the old adage that "a strict teacher makes a good apprentice".
Therefore, in Xin Baiqing's childhood, his parents implemented a strict education method for him, not only expecting him to be a sensible and obedient good child, but also expecting him to achieve excellent results in his studies and become a leader in the limelight.
Under the high standards and strict requirements of his parents, Xin Baiqing has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child, and his grades have always been among the best, becoming the "child of other people's families" in the mouth of his neighbors, and winning everyone's praise and envy.
Because of his slender figure and tall stature, Xin Baiqing was quickly recognized by sports coaches during his study stage, and was even appointed as a key cultivation object for the high jump event. Since then, he has been deeply committed to the grand dream of becoming an outstanding high jumper, and has worked tirelessly for the past three years, giving up most of his youthful pleasures.
However, the reality is cruel and unforgiving. After three years of hard work, the coach regretfully informed Xin Baiqing that because his height has never broken through the limit of 1.9 meters, the height gap with the height requirements of the high jump event is too large, and he is advised to give up this dream.
In this way, Xin Baiqing had to wave goodbye to his haunting dream of sports.
Just as Xin Baiqing entered an important turning point in his life, an enthusiastic old classmate brought him a new opportunity - to apply for the acting department of Beijing Film Academy.
Although Xin Baiqing knew nothing about the field of performance, perhaps because he was young and fearless, or inspired by his old classmates, he resolutely stepped into the registration site of Nortel's performance department with a heart full of curiosity and exploration.
However, fate did not seem to favor him, and Nortel's registration deadline had expired.
However, Xin Baiqing was not discouraged by this, he turned around in a dashing manner and turned his target to the performance department of the Central Academy of Drama. Fortunately, the recruitment process for Chinese opera is still ongoing.
The tall and sunny Xin Baiqing skillfully used a "small falsetto" in the talent show, which successfully touched the hearts of the examiners, and finally got the admission letter of the Chinese Opera Performance Department as he wished.
In this way, an ordinary teenager who once knew nothing about the performance industry began a new and brilliant chapter of his life.
Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yuanyuan are students of the same Chinese Opera Performance Department. Recalling the past, Xin Baiqing still clearly remembers the day when the freshmen registered, when the whole class introduced themselves in turn, a lively and lovely girl dressed in youth and beautiful clothes instantly attracted his attention.
That is Zhu Yuanyuan, a girl from the beautiful coastal city of Qingdao, Shandong, who came to the capital Beijing with a dream to pursue her acting career.
Perhaps this is the so-called love at first sight, and the emotions that are integrated into the bone marrow turn over the river and the sea in the heart. Since the moment he met Zhu Yuanyuan, Xin Baiqing's heart has surged with a strong love.
He noticed that this beautiful and intelligent woman was always wearing unpretentious but approachable jeans, showing a sunny and fresh smile, and whenever this happened, Xin Baiqing felt waves of warmth ripple in his heart.
As a man with an introverted and shy personality, Xin Baiqing is not good at pursuing the girl he likes with sweet words. On the contrary, he chose to take practical actions to care for Zhu Yuanyuan in the details of daily life.
Over time, an indescribable friendship developed between the two, and a relationship was eventually established.
However, who would have thought that this beautiful relationship would not be smooth sailing. When the romance was discovered by the school teacher, according to the school rules at the time, students were not allowed to fall in love. The teacher solemnly admonished Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yuanyuan, hoping that they could concentrate on their studies and suspend their feelings.
After graduating from the Central Academy of Drama, Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yuanyuan were both assigned to work at the National Theatre. However, in the first few years, their careers came to a standstill.
Zhu Yuanyuan took the lead in emerging in the film and television industry, in 1998, she joined hands with Liang Guanhua, Huo Siyan and other powerful actors to co-star in the urban drama "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin" quickly became popular throughout the country as soon as it was broadcast, and she herself won the 10th Beijing TV Art Chunyan Award for Outstanding Actress, and the 18th China TV Golden Eagle Award Audience Favorite Actress Award.
In contrast, Xin Baiqing's development is slightly inferior. After graduation, he did not choose to opportunistically step into the film and television industry, but insisted on working silently on the drama stage.
Although his drama works such as "My Father, My Dad", "Richard III" and "Hurricane" have won high praise from inside and outside the industry, Xin Baiqing's name has never attracted wide attention due to the relatively narrow audience of drama art.
Since then, Xin Baiqing has always adhered to a low-key and humble style of acting in the entertainment industry, like a bright pearl hidden in the deep night sky. It wasn't until 2005 that he shined in the highly regarded hit TV series "Happiness Like Flowers", and finally won high praise from the famous screenwriter Wang Wanping.
Subsequently, Xin Baiqing successfully signed a contract with Huayi Brothers Media Group, ushering in a new opportunity for career development.
In 2008, the popular spy war drama "Latent" created by the well-known director Jiang Wei threw an olive branch to him, and sincerely invited Xin Baiqing and his wife Zhu Yuanyuan to play the male and female leads. The script was inspired by this low-key and loving "model couple".
Once the two actors participate, it will undoubtedly be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, enough for them to make a name for themselves in their acting careers.
However, to everyone's expectations, Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yuanyuan finally declined Director Jiang Wei's warm invitation. It turned out that Zhu Yuanyuan was pregnant at that time, and in order to devote herself to the care of her beloved wife, Xin Baiqing resolutely chose to temporarily bid farewell to the screen and return to the warm embrace of her family.
The withdrawal of the couple undoubtedly brought great trouble to the director. At the beginning of the writing of the script, they were the central characters of the concept, and the loss of the two protagonists was undoubtedly a heavy blow.
In the end, Sun Honglei and Yao Chen took over as the male and female protagonists, and the play attracted widespread attention and enthusiastic responses as soon as it was broadcast.
After marriage, Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yuanyuan reached a consensus that in order to avoid long-term separation affecting their relationship, they often appeared hand in hand in the form of husband and wife. Only when their daughter becomes an adult can the two find more time to return to the career stage.
It is worth mentioning that although Xin Baiqing's performance in film and television works is a little bland, he has won many heavyweight awards on the drama stage, and his superb acting skills have won unanimous praise from people in the industry.
Although the communication effect of theatrical performances is relatively limited compared with film and television works, Xin Baiqing has made remarkable achievements on the drama stage and has won many heavyweight awards.
In 2010, he won the Best Performance Award at the 8th National Theatre Culture Golden Lion Award and the Outstanding Performance Award at the 10th China Arts Festival for his performance in the drama "Four Generations in the Same Hall".
In 2013, Xin Baiqing showed extremely superb acting skills in the classic drama "Green Snake", which made him win the highest honor of the Best Leading Role Award at the 3rd Drama Performance Academy!
In the blink of an eye, in 2016, Xin Baiqing has become a hot superstar in the drama industry. With his outstanding performance in the drama "Gu Wenchang", he won many heavyweight awards such as the "One Drama Award", "Plum Blossom Award for Drama" and "Magnolia Drama Performing Arts Award".
The well-known director Chen Kaige was full of praise for him, and personally invited this "drama bone" level actor to play the role of the poet Li Bai in the movie "The Legend of the Demon Cat". Although this role only appeared for four minutes, Xin Baiqing showed Li Bai's uninhibited and unrestrained personality to the fullest, which was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and won warm applause from the audience.
The audience praised one after another: "The role he played as Li Bai added half of the style to the whole movie!"
However, although Xin Baiqing left such a deep mark on the big screen, when the movie was officially released, people's heated topics focused more on Zhang Yuqi's peerless beauty, Zhang Rongrong's exotic style, and Liu Haoran's youthful vitality, etc., and his role as Li Bai was downplayed.
The same situation also appeared in the 2022 annual hit drama "The World" starring Xin Baiqing. Although the outstanding performance of Lei Jiayin, Yin Tao and other characters has won unanimous praise inside and outside the industry, people's attention to the role of Zhou Bingyi, who values love and adheres to principles created by Xin Baiqing in the play, is relatively low.
In fact, in recent years, Xin Baiqing has won a number of important awards in the field of film and television, for example, last year he won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor with "The Long Confession", and this year's starring "The Light of the White Tower" was successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival and won the crown of Best Actor at the Temple of Heaven Award at the Beijing International Film Festival.
However, because most of these films belong to literary and artistic genre films, the audience is relatively narrow, so they have failed to arouse widespread attention and heated discussions among the audience. Frankly, there is indeed a significant gap between Mr. Xin's unparalleled acting skills and awards, and his popularity in the eyes of the public, but he doesn't care about it, he just wants to touch the hearts of the audience with lifelike, distinct and unique characters.
