In the 1990s, the opera market was sluggish, and the actors in the opera industry turned to the film and television circle to develop, many of which were polished from the grass-roots level to run dragon sets and do martial arts, and Fang Xiaoli was also one of them.
Perhaps not from the class, or perhaps without human resources, she transferred to the film and television circle, playing roles such as mother and mother-in-law early, like filming "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan Part III" has played Chang Ma.
This is important for the positioning of the actor. If you successfully portray a mother role, many such roles will look for you in the future, such roles are very limited, and there are not many scenes.
However, for Fang Xiaoli to transform from an opera actor to a film and television actor, the most embarrassing thing is to collide with others.
I don't know, do you think she looks very similar to Liu Bei?
Objectively speaking, many people say that she looks like Liu Bei, and the most incredible thing is that her family will admit mistakes.
She just started acting, and once her family urged her to turn on the TV and said that the TV station broadcast your play, and the result was "Start Stop" starring Liu Bei.
She was particularly angry at the time, saying: Her own family does not recognize her own family, it is really angry!
Especially in Hengdian filming, that is not only a place for filming, but also a scenic spot for tourism. She was filming in Hengdian, and after the tourists saw it, they said: Where is Liu Bei, quickly ask her to sign. She was a little confused, whether to sign Liu Bei or sign her own name, and finally she signed her name in cursive.
The most interesting thing is that Fang Xiaoli and Liu Bei met in the beauty salon, Fang Xiaoli called Liu Bei's name, although the two did not see each other, they had seen each other on TV. Liu Bei said: I look at you like I am facing a mirror.
Today' Fang Xiaoli has been debuting for nearly 30 years, most of them are acting in supporting roles, and now with more and more age, most of them play the dramas of mothers and mothers-in-law.
Among the more than 100 works she has filmed, the most influential is the queen in "Langya List". She is very comfortable in shaping this role, after all, she is an opera actor, and it is very stable to hold this kind of costume drama.
This play allows more audiences to know her, as to whether they know her name or not, it is another matter.
Nowadays, she does not look at the supporting roles that she has been playing, but there are many films, and she is also a prolific actor, only one play in 2020, and 5 plays in 2021, which shows that she is still a very marketable actor.
