<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" >, a "star" is born: eat bitterly, and be a good person</h1>
Some people are born actors, such as Lu Jun. He was born in Shanxi in 1957 and went to Beijing to study. Because I liked to perform since I was a child, I went to Beijing 109 School, which is a place dedicated to training young artists for the country. Lu Jun studied here and showed his artistic talent early on.
For example, when he was 13 years old, he played the main role in the school opera "The White-Haired Girl" and also played the role of ballet dancer in the ballet "Red Detachment of Women". In order to be able to play a good role, a boy began to delve into ballet, which was also "different" at the time. At that time, there was no ballet teacher in the art school, but Lu Jun had become obsessed with art, what to do? He thought he could go to the movies and learn the dancing movements in the movies.
At a young age, Lu Jun took out all his pocket money and went to see ballet movies. Since the movies are all flashing by, in order to be able to remember an action, Lu Jun will watch a movie dozens of times, so that he can skillfully complete a ballet action. For teenagers, it is impossible to do without a mesmerizing liking. Because dancing ballet requires hard practice, it's one thing to remember the movements, it's another thing to jump out. He practiced the basics early every day, and he had to show the ballet movements in the movie a little bit.
As the day of the performance approaches, Lu Jun's progress is visible to the naked eye. His performances in two ballets were very successful and won the full house, and everyone remembered this hard-working child.
In 1975, the Beijing Film Studio began to recruit outstanding performing arts talents. Lu Jun, who became a star at the Beijing Performing Arts School at that time, had long been recommended by his teachers. However, Lu Jun, who had reached the crossroads of life choices, hoped to go to the army's cultural and labor corps and become a soldier. The teacher saw that this child had a soul that loved art, and he could make greater contributions in the acting world, so he continued to do Lu Jun's ideological work.
Finally, Lu Jun held the attitude of trying and participated in the selection examination of Beijing Film Studio. Excellent talents will not be buried, although the selection of talents needs to be assessed layer by layer, but Lu Jun passed with his good looks and solid basic skills. In this way, he smoothly entered the Beijing Film Studio. In order to allow these new actors to adapt to the requirements of the times from theory to practice, Beijing Film Studio decided to cooperate with the Beijing Film Academy to train new actors.
When he arrived at the beijing film academy's training class, he learned that only 10 people could finally pass the examination. How harsh and how fortunate it is! While studying acting theory at the Beijing Film Academy, he knew that actors not only performed like-mindedly, but more importantly, they showed their art. An actor's career is a never-ending artistic career. At this time, Lu Jun really let go of the idea of wanting to be a soldier in the cultural and labor corps and began to devote himself to studying.
After several years of study, Lu Jun got the graduation certificate of the seminar. He actually joined the Beijing Film Studio as an actor. In 1980, Lu Jun played his first role in life for the first time, that is, Xiao Meng in "Ghost". For his first real performance, he spent a lot of time studying the characters. "Ghost" is a film that explores human nature in a special period, is a reflective film, and is also a film that shows the complexity of human nature. Such a role is particularly challenging for a newcomer, but he constantly communicates with the director and screenwriter and ponders the role. Although his role is short and there are not too many lines, his superb acting and outstanding appearance make the audience remember this young actor at once.

Due to the successful appearance of his debut film, Lu Jun began to have many film invitations. In the following year, Lu Jun participated in "Sand Gull". This movie is the story of the national women's volleyball team, he starred in one of the team doctors, in the movie this team doctor is a placebo among the women's volleyball players. He understands their pain, understands the hardships behind them, and constantly encourages the women's volleyball girls to fight. Lu Jun has always been gentle and considerate in the movie, and this image has touched many young girl fans.
Step by step, these characters are paving the way for his success. In the third year, 1982, Lu Jun finally realized his dream of being a soldier in the movie. He starred in Lu Xing in "Outpost in the Birch Forest" in this year. The film tells the story of a military dog trainer who grows up in life. This movie allows Lu Jun to enter the real military life, he has always hidden a military dream in his heart, and he has thrown all his unfulfilled dreams into this movie. At that time, when the role was selected, there was also a small episode, and there were many people participating in the casting at that time, and there were many people who met the conditions, but the director chose Lu Jun. Lu Jun is relatively beautiful, and his image is a little far from that of a steady, feng shui and sunburned soldier. However, the director believes that Lu Jun has a certain plasticity, and the excessiveness of Lu Xing in the film from a small intellectual who does not understand the world to a calm soldier can be found in Lu Jun.
In this way, Lu Jun successfully obtained this role. Due to his acting career, he let go of this dream, but he found it again in the movie. However, it is not so easy to perform the realism, and when the film was filmed, it was snowing heavily in the north for several days, and it was extremely cold. Shooting in the birch forest is extremely difficult, sometimes the hands and feet are so cold that they are red and swollen, and they have to tremble when they speak, let alone speak their lines naturally. He once wanted to give up, but the actor's professional ethics made him constantly encourage him to persevere. In the end, with the superb acting skills of this movie, he really entered the hearts of the public, and with this movie, Lu Jun became popular. The film also became one of the 29 best films in the country at that time.

After becoming popular, Lu Jun began to receive a lot of blockbusters and played with popular female stars. For example, he starred in "Happiness by Your Side" and "Burning The Yuanmingyuan" with Chen Chong and Liu Xiaoqing. Lu Jun has created a lot of "male god" images, of course, quietly come to him as a screen male god, and another screen goddess Chen Xiaoyi fell in love, the appearance of this pair of golden boys and jade girls, but also added to Lu Jun's legendary color.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" > second, love fairy tales on the screen: love and hate behind the screen</h1>
Lu Jun's feelings for Chen Xiaoyi are not exaggerated with "love at first sight". At the age of 22, Lu Jun was sent by the Beijing Film Studio to choose a role for the movie "Love on the Li River", in which the heroine has been undecided. He went to the Beijing Song and Dance Troupe with his colleagues in the unit, and when he saw Chen Xiaoyi, who was only 20 years old, he decided that this was the heroine that the movie was looking for, and the only one he was looking for.
Chen Xiaoyi is a Gangnam beauty. She has been good at dancing since she was a child, and entered the Beijing Dance Academy at the age of 14, and was later successfully assigned to the Beijing Song and Dance Troupe. She has a youthful, energetic and beautiful temperament. This temperament was deeply fascinated by Lu Jun.
After Lu Jun's selection, the shooting team unanimously agreed that 20-year-old Chen Xiaoyi was the best candidate for "Li River Love". This is Chen Xiaoyi's first film, she has never been exposed to movies before, and she does not know how to be an actress. Lu Jun, who had studied systematic performance, led Chen Xiaoyi into the door of performance. He taught her how to use body language, how to eliminate panic in front of the camera, how to use the performance of the eyes to impress the audience... During the contact between the two people, Lu Jun appeared to be meticulous and considerate. His love for Chen Xiaoyi is obvious to anyone else.
However, it is a pity that "LiJiang Love" at that time was not finished for various reasons, but for Chen Xiaoyi, his role has undergone tremendous changes. She has gone from being a dancer to a screen actress. The following year, Chen Xiaoyi took over the role of Liang Cat in "The Mist of the Goddess Peak". The portrayal of this character is extremely successful, and Chen Xiaoyi can be said to have a very high level of understanding and talent. Her performance is extremely attractive in the film and has won the love of the audience.
In 1982, Chen Xiaoyi starred in the classic film "Wrangler" directed by Xie Jin, which had famous actors such as Zhu Shimao, Chen Xiaoyi played a foreign Chinese secretary Song Shaoying, and the success of the film made many people have great interest in this supporting role, when she had the title of "gold medal supporting role". In her acting career, Chen Xiaoyi likes to challenge different roles, and her plasticity is extremely strong. Lu Jun expressed great comfort and joy for Chen Xiaoyi's success, and the two people also went from career support to love acquaintance. In 1984, this year was an extremely important year for both Lu Jun and Chen Xiaoyi. Together, they starred in "Happiness is By Your Side," a film that tells a story of love and friendship. The departure of this pair of handsome men and beautiful women is considered by everyone to be the "golden boy and jade girl" on the screen. Many people silently want them to walk together, just like CP fans now. When lu jun and Chen Xiao were really in love, they were together as news to win the blessing of the audience. Not long after filming that year, they got married. Their wedding was relatively low-key, and with the blessing of their relatives, they soon completed their marriage in Beijing and started a married life in a small house in the unit, and the love and career of the two people went to a higher level.
After marriage, Lu Jun and Chen Xiaoyi are still busy with their careers, and the two people gather less and leave more. This is also determined by the professional nature of the actor himself. Because two people can't always act in the same movie, they will play with different people, and every time they travel to shoot a scene, they will not see each other for several months. So they don't pay enough attention to the small family of two people.
At that time, Lu Jun was filming a film called "Zhi Truncated Jade Xianglong", during which he and Yu Shaokang were often together and learned to drink. Perhaps for actors, the performance often has to hollow out their emotions, even the most intense parts, they often appear in the spirit of a huge void, that is a sense of nothingness after the show. Coupled with the fact that they are often away from their family members, they will feel lonely and helpless, so alcohol becomes the best placebo. Lu Jun gradually fell in love with drinking, which brought great instability to their emotional lives.
At that time, because Lu Jun slowed down the pace of his career, his path as an actor seemed to be narrower and narrower, and even showed a downward tendency, so he suspended his acting career and began to go to the sea to do business. At that time, Chen Xiaoyi was still a female star in the eyes of the audience. Her acting career is booming. Lu Jun's business was not smooth, coupled with the low tide of his acting career, he began to anesthetize himself with alcohol, sometimes venting after drinking, and even beating people. After beating people, Lu Jun felt that he should not, but when he saw his wife playing a couple with other male actors on the screen, plus his wife's Chen Xiaoyi's plays one after another, his acting career became more and more successful, and the scandals were continuous, which made him more depressed.
At that time, he did not really understand his wife as an actor is bound to attract scandals, once as an actor, he not only did not understand his wife, but blamed and blamed his wife, so the distance between the two people's hearts is getting farther and farther.
In the seventh year of marriage between the two people, they did not get out of the strange circle of the seven-year itch. Once considered a love fairy tale on the screen, now it is also a flying swallow, and the two people have not been together for many years, have no children, and even have no original love.
Born in 1991, the two officially ended their married lives. After this, Chen Xiaoyi came out of the haze of her first marriage, and she also opened a karaoke dance hall and continued her acting career. Later, she went abroad, and after going abroad, she gave up her career, and even more let go of her previous love and hatred, reflected on her marriage, and opened her own new life.
And Lu Jun gradually faded the screen, and even many people have forgotten him. But he did not leave his acting career in the end, and began to work behind the scenes, becoming a producer.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="56" > three, get back to life: plain is true</h1>
After the prosperity and lows of his career, Lu Jun finally understood what he wanted. He couldn't leave the film business, and he couldn't leave the long-term job of acting.
He later joined the China Film Group and became a well-known producer, and constantly wrote articles summarizing and reflecting on the development of the film, as well as summarizing his acting experience. In recent years, he has participated in the production of "The Ballad of Yun shui", which has won dozens of film awards such as China's Top Ten Excellent Love Films in the 40 Years of Reform and Opening Up, Excellent Feature Film of the 29th Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films, and so on. This film tells the love story of crossing the two sides of the strait in the context of 60 years of the era, starring Chen Kun and Li Bingbing, which won the hearts of many audiences that year.
Lu Jun in his career has gone through ups and downs, from hard practice as a child to screen roles in adulthood, he is a person who can seize opportunities. He has starred in more than two dozen films in his lifetime, from a supporting role with few lines to a male lead capable of supporting a movie. From a Qingxiu male actor unknown to the public to a male god who is fascinated by thousands of people on the screen; Lu Jun treats every play extremely seriously, he has studied the script all night, once insisted on filming in the weather of minus ten degrees, and once practiced continuously for an action. This is the professionalism of the older generation of actors. Thanks to this professionalism, in the 80s he succeeded in shaping a series of classic characters. Even roles with few roles can play an important role. If you ask about people of their parents' generation, when they think of male stars in military uniforms, then what comes to mind is Lu Jun. Of course, no one had a smooth sailing, and he also wandered and disappointed when he experienced the low point of his acting career, but in the end, with his love of movies, he once again returned to the starting point in another form. Although being a producer and screenwriter is different from acting, Lu Jun, who has received professional education, believes that as long as he can make movies, it is the best job.
Lu Jun, who no longer has the aura of a male star, has become the behind-the-scenes staff of the movie, in fact, he is happy with such an ending, because there is another important reason, he has more time to take care of his family.
After the failure of her first marriage, Lu Jun also began to reflect on her emotional life. At that time, he was not considerate of his wife, could not take good care of the family, and did not take on the responsibilities of a husband. They spend most of their time filming, they are on the go, and neither of them puts family and love first. As a young man, he hoped for a prosperous career, but when his career went downhill, he suddenly fell into helplessness, which caused the breakdown of the marriage. After experiencing all this, he has a new family, becomes a father, and he likes a plain and down-to-earth life. A gentle and considerate wife, a healthy child, was more important to him than anything else. Busy work can not lack the love and care of his family, which he has always kept in mind.
Now 64 years old, Lu Jun has passed the age of ear shun, he has not stopped the pace of his career, and is still active in the film industry. Of course, he also cherishes the warmth of his family and the support and love given to him by his family.
In fact, whether it is a male god in front of the screen or a filmmaker behind the scenes, Lu Jun is sending a signal that a profession must use the spirit of excellence to do it well. When looking at the photos of male stars in the past, I can't help but sigh, the years are old, people are common, the roles created by artists are classic and not fading, and there will always be Lu Jun's name in the history of movies in the 80s!
