1. Prologue: The heart of a teenager who is looking for a dream and starting a journey
Since ancient times, the title of "actor" has been the ultimate ideal pursued by countless movie lovers. However, for Xu Jian, this title is not only an honor, but also a burning dream in his heart - he has been deeply attracted to the charm of film art since he was a child, and aspires to become an outstanding actor.
I especially remember the film called "Cinema Paradiso" when I watched it as a child, when the beams of bright light were projected from the projector onto the wide big screen, his heart surged with endless longing and longing, looking forward to one day standing on the glittering screen and becoming a real actor.
This dream is like a seed, buried deep in Xu Jian's heart, and continues to grow, inspiring him to move forward bravely and work hard towards this goal. After graduating from middle school, Xu Jian did not hesitate to choose to apply for art colleges and universities, taking a solid step to realize his dream.
Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the early nineties. Fortunately, he had the opportunity to participate in the filming of "Young Agent" and "Confucius", and although the role was not important, it made him more and more obsessed with the profession of actor.
In 1995, Xu Jian finally got his wish and was admitted to the undergraduate class of the Drama Performance Department of the Military Culture College of the National Defense University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The reason why he chose to apply for the military academy is because of his admiration for soldiers since he was a child, and on the other hand, it is also to reduce the financial pressure on his family.
Xu Jian's father died young, and all the responsibilities of the family fell on his mother alone. He witnessed the hardships of his mother's hard work to raise him and his brother to adulthood, and felt deeply guilty for his mother's dedication.
Therefore, he hopes that by studying in a military school, he will not only be able to realize his dream, but also help his mother solve problems and provide financial support as much as he can.
During his university studies, Xu Jian studied professional knowledge diligently and diligently, and at the same time used his spare time to work around to earn tuition. Despite the difficult living conditions, he insisted on cutting back on food and clothing, and sent some of the money he saved back to his hometown to supplement his family.
It is with his firm belief in his dreams and his filial piety to his mother that Xu Jian is firmly moving towards the goal of being an actor step by step.
Second, the road of lonely struggle
After graduating from military art, Xu Jian successfully entered Bayi Film Studio and began his acting career. However, it is not easy to become an excellent actor, and the road is destined to be full of ups and downs and challenges.
Xu Jian's face and temperament are obviously unique compared with other actors in Bayi Factory. Far from being as resolute and resolute as they are, he exudes the air of a literati and a rich book.
Such characteristics undoubtedly brought him a lot of trouble, many tough guy role opportunities are often missed, he plays more of a literati and scholar role, however, in the face of this dilemma and the unknown of the future, Xu Jian is not discouraged, but cherishes every rare opportunity to perform, he always remembers his motto: "down-to-earth, shape every role with heart", only in this way can he make steady progress on the road of acting.
Hard work pays off! After ten years of hard work and accumulation, Xu Jian won the Best Newcomer Award at the 30th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award in 2004 for his role as Zhang Xiangchuan in the movie "Shocking".
This award is not only an affirmation and encouragement to Xu Jian, but also a heavy responsibility and spur, which made him more determined and persistent in his career as an actorOn the night of the award, Xu Jian was excited, and it was difficult to hide the joy in his heart He was deeply grateful, thanks to Bayi Factory, and thanked all the directors and friends who supported and paid attention to him, it was they who gave him a precious opportunity to realize his dream.

After winning the Best Newcomer Award at the Volkswagen Hundred Flowers Award, Xu Jian's acting career finally ushered in an opportunity to take off. He was once neglected, but now he has gradually gained the attention and favor of many directors, and resources and opportunities are pouring in.
He participated in the tribute film "Insider" directed by Tao Lingling, in which he played a key figure in our company behind enemy lines, Jiang Zhifang, the role can be called a highlight of the whole play, Xu Jian did his best to shape Jiang Zhifang's image vividly, especially the scene of heroic sacrifice to save Chen Huaiyuan, his superb acting skills deeply moved the audience, and all people were moved to tears.

Soon after, he was favored by Director You Xiaogang and was invited to participate in the filming of Director You's classic "The Secret History of Yang Guifei", and interpreted the important role of "Shouwang" Li Mao with superb acting skills.
At first, Xu Jian had doubts about playing the role of this "King of Wo Nan Shou". Although he successfully established the image of a heroic and resolute tough guy in the previous TV series "Shocking", he was still worried that the reappearance of the image of a cowardly and coward would disappoint the audience.
However, after in-depth thinking, he finally overcame himself and firmly believed that as a good actor, only if he can easily control various different types of roles can he truly be considered successful.
Facts have proved that Xu Jian successfully portrayed the tragic role of Li Mao, which left a deep impression on the audience. In the play, the originally innocent Shou King, after the baptism of love and hatred, finally lost all his style, Xu Jian interpreted his physical and mental changes vividly, which moved the audience.
This character has been portrayed so successfully that Xu Jian himself has been deeply involved in it, unable to extricate himself, and has not been able to get rid of the psychological trauma caused by this role for a long time.
Part 4: The spring breeze is proud
With the successive filming of one crew after another, Xu Jian delayed his personal life for the sake of his career, and it was not until he met Sui Lan that his life ushered in a new chapter.
Sui Lan is not only a powerful actor, but also a female elite with both talent and appearance. She was born in a medical family, not only showed a number of wonderful film and television dramas on the screen, but also a senior acting teacher at Beijing Film Academy, and has guided many powerful new stars such as Zhang Yishan and Wang Junkai.
In addition to this, Sui Lan also worked as a successful producer, owned her own studio, and even later founded a media company, where she was appointed CEO.
Xu Jian and Sui Lan hit it off at first sight, and the two were like-minded and hated to see each other late. They share common ideals and values, and they quickly decide to enter the palace of marriage. Although some people think that their development is too rapid, for these two highly tacit couples, meeting is fate, and everything is so natural and natural.
In July 2012, Xu Jian and the beautiful and virtuous Sui Lan entered the marriage hall with the warm blessings of relatives and friends, and worked together to officially conclude a good relationship. In order to commemorate the best moment of their lives, they carefully produced a touching youth inspirational film - "One Arrow Orchid Heart", which vividly shows the sweet process of their acquaintance and love through the charm of the image, which is romantic and creative.
On the day of the wedding, the grand occasion was unprecedented, and many celebrity friends rushed to the scene to witness the happy moment of the couple, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Although Sui Lan's career is extremely busy, they never forget to take time out of their precious time to spend with their daughter, and in the daily life, the little baby gradually developed a strong interest in performing arts.
Xu Jian's daughter followed her mother on stage when she was only four years old, and cooperated tacitly with other young actors, showing ease and liveliness in various performances. Now, her daughter has reached the age of six and is about to enter primary school life, watching her grow up day by day, Xu Jian is looking forward to her future, but also reluctant to let her go, this contradictory emotion can't help but make people feel emotional.
