They are the two old drama bones of the show business, and they are all great forerunners who have dedicated their lives to the cause of acting.
They have participated in many classic works, they have created countless vivid characters, they look similar, they are similar in popularity.
These two sitting together are the famous actors Xi Meijuan and Lu Zhong.
However, looking back at the road ahead, the experiences of the two female artists are completely different.
What happened and met what made the two old drama bones today?
Xi Meijuan was born in an ordinary family in Shanghai, where her parents were diligent workers.
There are five children in the family, and life is very hard.
In Xi Meijuan's childhood, she did not play with beautiful Barbie dolls, did not wear novel dresses,
When other children were still nestled in the arms of their parents, Xi Meijuan heard the most words to try to be sensible.
But in the face of the endless field, she did not know where she should go.
Let her continue to follow the old path of her parents, she is unwilling,
Let her rely on knowledge to change her destiny, and the family does not have the ability to support her holding books.
Fortunately, the dawn came, under the arrangement of the leader, Xi Meijuan took the admission examination of the Shanghai Theater Academy.
At that time, she did not know what acting was, did not understand how to perform, and followed her own understanding through words.
Interpret the picture as body language, speaking a non-standard Mandarin,
With her innate comprehension and performance ability, Xi Meijuan successfully entered the play.
But the road is not smooth, because there is no amazing appearance, because it is not photogenic, so it has eaten again and again behind closed doors,
It wasn't until after graduating from acting that she waited for the script, not a TV series, not a movie, and her stage was a drama.
The role from a small supporting role to a heroine, the script from a few words to full, Xi Meijuan began to be well known,
With a certain degree of popularity, the affirmation of the past harvest has become her courage to move forward,
She used her strength to lay a foundation in the drama industry, and won the "Magnolia Drama Performance Award".
Later, ushered in the development of China's film and television drama industry,
Xi Meijuan, like many drama actors, chose to transform during this critical period.
In 1988, it was the year when Xi Meijuan starred in the movie "Fake Girl True Feelings", which was her first film and television work.
At that time, she was over 30 years old, and she once again took the podium and won back the 11th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards.
This work, this award, has opened the door to the peak of her acting career for Xi Meijuan.
She began to circulate around the various crews, creating countless masterpieces.
Each work has injected all its energy, and has also gained the word of mouth and ratings it deserves.
Her career was smooth sailing, but her married life was poured with cold water after a brief period of goodness.
Xi Meijuan met and fell in love with Zhou Yemang, who was a year younger than her, while working at the Shanghai People's Art Theatre.
Because the two pursue the same, the three views are in line, and soon enter the palace of marriage,
And cooperated in the interpretation of many classic works, known as good stories.
However, the good times did not last long, the atmosphere between the two became silent, and it was almost impossible to see the same frame appearing.
At the age of 39, Xi Meijuan made the decision to divorce and single mother herself to raise her son alone.
The broken married life did not knock Xi Meijuan down, and the responsibility of raising the child alone did not crush her.
She has become the strongest in the transformation of time and again, elegant as a chrysanthemum, strong as a bamboo,
Xi Meijuan has played a young girl, played a woman, played an old man, and her life is linked to the role.
From a rookie in the showbiz circle to an old drama bone with strong strength.
Along the way, she has suffered countless hardships and injuries, she has not complained, has not regretted,
All the encounters will only make her more courageous, countless times nirvana rebirth, to have today's Xi Meijuan.
Compared with Xi Meijuan's bumps, Lü Zhong's road is not so heavy.
Lü Zhong was born in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, her parents are high-level intellectuals,
The ancestors of the family have been learned people for generations, so Lu Zhong grew up in the smell of books.
The love of parents and the harmony of the family atmosphere allow Lu Zhong to grow up carefree,
Therefore, what I want to do is naturally supported by my parents.
She learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, possessed a skill, and her dream of art became more and more firm in her heart.
So after graduating from high school, he chose to enter the Hebei Provincial Drama Training Class, hoping to learn more professional knowledge.
The training class is the place where Lu Zhong shines, she looks beautiful and has outstanding ability,
Both teachers and peers think she is a good seedling.
After graduating from the training class, Lu Zhong took root on the stage of drama.
The audience was willing to come and cheer her up, and the cheers and applause from the audience never stopped.
On the drama stage of the stars holding the moon, Lu Zhong began to feel unwilling,
She does not have the slightest dislike of drama, but just wants to be on a bigger stage and be seen by more people.
So she set her sights on the show business circle and used her excellent ability to be admitted to the Beijing People's Art Academy.
This is the temple of art, and this is also The life experience of Lu Zhong.
At the age of forty-seven, She finally ushered in the first TV series of her life- "Plainclothes Police".
That is no longer the golden age of an actress, but Lu Zhong on the screen is gorgeous.
This work really opened her acting career, she walked into the crew, put on the costume,
It is no longer the shadow of Lu Zhong, who plays, she becomes whoever she is,
She doesn't dislike the size of the character, and she doesn't care about the number of scenes.
As long as there is a meaningful character, she is willing to go to the "life" in the play.
One excellent work after another has made Lu Zhong's reputation bigger and bigger, and his position in the show business circle has become more and more important.
She won the "Feitian Award for Best Actress", she won the title of "National First-class Actor",
She used her textbook acting skills to become an actor Lu Zhong.
Career is smooth, Lu Zhong's family is also very happy, she and her husband are elementary school classmates, is a green plum bamboo horse,
From a young age to love, holding hands is a lifetime, giving birth to a son and a daughter, and making up a "good" word.
The life of a family of four is warm and happy, the husband loves, the children are lovely,
Lu Zhong is very content with his married life.
Later, the years passed and took away her beloved, and her husband left her ever since,
This is an unusually big blow to Lu Zhong.
Fortunately, her children did not disappoint her, and they all grew into outstanding and excellent people.
The son has become a well-known director, chasing art like his mother, and the daughter is an aerospace colonel and a pillar of the country.
And Now Lü Zhong, who is full of white hair, in the eyes of the public, is still the "Empress Dowager Cixi" or the "Wu Zetian".
A "old man has dependence" finally made Xi Meijuan and Lü Zhong meet their heads,
In the play, they played two old men with the same personality and situation.
One is a loving mother, one is too strong, and the two old drama bones sweated in this work and acted happily.
The audience clapped their hands and wondered who was who.
Two actresses with a gentle temperament, one incense from the bitter cold, one sharp from the grinding,
They had very different births, they had very different experiences, they had very different opportunities.
But the same is their love for acting, the same is their respect for the role, the same is their sincerity to the work,
They are known as "Nan Xi Bei Lu", they are highly respected, they are actors, but also old artists.
