In everyone's impression, if you want to become an actor that everyone likes and is a household name, you need to start fighting for it at a young age.
If you don't make yourself a well-known actor at the best age, it will definitely be easier for the audience to forget as time goes by.
However, in the actor industry, there are also some people who are late bloomers, such as the familiar Jin Dong, Zhang Jiayi, etc., who were not popular when they were young.
But as I grew older, I was known to everyone because I was amazed by some excellent works, which really confirmed the saying "gold always shines".
The actress I introduced to you today may not be the most famous, but some of the works she has acted in are really eye-catching.
The reason why she entered the actor industry is not only because she loves acting very much and is relatively powerful, but also because her own son is an actor himself.
In fact, when he was 60 years old, he was brought into the showbiz by his own son, but he was even more popular than his son with his own efforts.
Let's take a look at this actress and his son. Let's take a look at the untold stories behind this mother and son!
1. The road of interpretation of hairy children
The actor who brought his mother into the showbiz was a hairy boy born in 1977, and as early as 1992, he had already made his first movie.
However, his popularity is not because of the first movie he made, but a well-known TV series, which is "The Story of the Cooking Class".
Although the TV drama industry has not been particularly prosperous in recent years, in the era when there is no Internet, film and television works broadcast on TV are still relatively popular and attention-grabbing.
Because it was a sitcom at the time, and it was also the first comedy filmed with a military theme at that time, it attracted much attention after it was broadcast.
At that time, when this TV series was broadcast in 2002, he was already a professional actor at that time, and graduated from the Chinese Opera Performance Department.
Speaking of his road to acting, it is indeed full of hardships, because although he does not have too many shortcomings in appearance, he is only 1.64 meters tall.
In everyone's impression, I also know that if you want to become an actor, you do have a lot of requirements for appearance, and even height has a threshold.
As an actor, even if he does not reach a height of 1.80 meters, he must meet the requirements of 1.7 meters, or even 1.75 meters.
But the height of the hairy boy is only the height of an ordinary woman, so he has also encountered setbacks in his acting career.
It is said that he was brushed off many times when he applied for the Chinese drama exam, and the reason why he was brushed off was because his height was too short.
Before applying for the Chinese opera examination, he also became the champion of a competition because he liked break dancing very much.
However, when I really learned to sing and dance, I was rejected because of my low height.
It was also because of some setbacks that he had encountered before, so he gave up the idea of learning dance and applied for the Chinese opera exam instead.
Although the reality is cruel, he was brushed off after one and two attempts, but because a teacher strongly recommended him at that time, he became a student of Chinese opera as an auditor.
In order to prove that Teacher Chang Li's vision is not wrong, although he only entered as an auditor, he worked very hard in the process of learning.
The fact that he graduated at the top of his class shows how much effort he put into it, which is obvious to all.
After watching some of the works he has acted, you can know that when he was young, if he didn't look at his height, he was also a relatively handsome young man, giving people a particularly upright feeling.
The most important thing is that the role of Xiao Mao in the story of the cooking class is particularly suitable for him to play, and many people have seen his comedy talent.
Although he also starred in many similar sitcoms and other TV series and movies, he did not become popular.
In fact, he has not completely quit the showbiz in recent years, but he has not filmed many works.
also used to concentrate on taking care of his mother because of his mother's poor health, and there was also something after his mother entered the showbiz.
Second, Wei Qing became a "tens of billions of old lady"
Born in 1948, Wei Qing used to be a literary soldier, and when he was in the army, he attracted much attention because he was versatile and could sing and dance.
She also worked as an announcer and a local trade union cadre, and retired smoothly when she reached her age.
It stands to reason that after the elderly retire, their daily life is relatively comfortable, and they can do a lot of things they are willing to do, and they don't need to worry about life.
In particular, an elderly person like Wei Qing is a very rich retired person, who also leads the local dance team and often participates in some performance activities.
However, she often feels that her daily life is very empty, and she feels that she has nothing to do every day, so she can only try to give herself something to do.
Because the two children are not at home for work all the year round after they grow up, she often feels very empty, and gradually has a tendency to be depressed.
When he saw that his mother was in poor health, the hairy boy made a decision that had a great impact on his career.
At that time, he decided not to film, and it was important to take care of his mother first, because in the heart of the hairy child, the mother is the most important.
This is also why after becoming popular with the cooking class, everyone rarely sees the figure of the hairy child, and after returning again, there are many people who don't know each other.
After all, the speed of renewal in the entertainment industry is very fast, and many people graduate from professional colleges every year.
Therefore, there is a strong competitiveness in filming, and when his mother's health improves, the hairy boy finds that he has no place in the entertainment industry for a long time.
But what neither Mao Xiao nor his mother expected was that although Mao Qing was not particularly popular, Wei Qing was also known as "Ten Billion Granny" by virtue of her own efforts.
The reason why she is called so is actually because Wei Qing has participated in the shooting of many excellent movies, including "Wolf Warrior 2", "I Am Not the God of Medicine" and other films with very high box office results.
Although Wei Qing only entered the showbiz at the age of 60, she worked very hard in the showbiz, even if she received very few scenes in the works at the beginning, she was able to act well.
In this case, many actors have seen the old lady's acting skills, so that she has received more and more acting resources.
For example, once in "An Home", she played a female character who was not very likable, which made people hate it at the time.
But take a closer look at her acting skills are really good, otherwise she would not have participated in the filming of many big-budget movies, and she would not have been even more popular by her son.
Fortunately, although Wei Qing's health was not very good at the beginning, after his son recommended him to enter the showbiz, his health was getting better and better.
After each TV series and movie, the works she shoots and the overall state can be known that she really doesn't look like an old lady in her 70s.
She can be regarded as having found a way to play that really suits her, whether she is playing an old lady in the countryside or an old lady with a more temperamental temperament, she can control it perfectly.
3. The current status of the mother and son
It seems that the reason why Wei Qing is still active in the entertainment industry at the age of 70, her fame is getting higher and higher, and she is recognized by the director and the audience, which is related to her son.
But in fact, if you just rely on your son to let yourself enter the showbiz, but you don't have acting skills, you won't be recognized by many directors and liked by the audience.
It can only be said that Wei Qing is relatively lucky, she has found a career that she likes, and is willing to work hard for each role.
Nowadays, in addition to her salary getting higher and higher, there are more and more directors looking for her to film, but she can still not forget her original intention and pay great attention to shaping each role, which is really rare.
In 2023, there will be a comedy movie starring her to be released, and it can be seen that she is relatively successful in both TV series and movies.
I believe that in the future, she will be able to bring more works to everyone.
And her son Mao's child, although he is not as famous as his mother, he does not have too many film and television works that he can handle.
But after seeing his mother's career getting better and better, he also felt very relieved and proud.
After all, Mao Boy is a professional actor, so even if he is not famous, he will still receive invitations from some film and television directors.
From the works performed by Mao Zi in recent years, it can be known that he has returned to the showbiz, but most of his works are supporting roles.
Regardless of whether the hairy child can rely on his own strength in the future, he can also become an actor like his mother who can appear in many excellent movies.
In real life, he is a particularly excellent person in all aspects, not only treating his mother with special filial piety, but also being very sincere to everyone around him.
epilogue
For many post-80s and post-90s, if you have seen the story of the cooking class, I believe that you like the actor Mao Boy more, and the above content also allows everyone to understand his experience.
Now his mother has become an excellent actor with her own efforts, and she is indeed inseparable from the hairy child.
The mother and son have always been relatively low-key, because they rarely appear in public at some events, so that many people don't know the real relationship between the two of them.
After understanding it, not only do I have a special admiration for the hairy child, but I can give up fame and fortune just to take care of my mother, which is really something that many actors can't do.
Now the mother and son have their own way of acting in the entertainment industry, and there are many people who like it, and they are both doing what they like to do, which is also a special thing to be happy about.
Through what Wei Qing has experienced, it is indeed admirable, and I hope that she can bring more good works to everyone in the future, and she must also take care of her body.
