Mention Xi Meijuan many people know who it is, but when it comes to Grandma Jiang in the TV series "An Jia", everyone suddenly realized that this elegant and kind grandmother is played by her!
In the film and television, Xi Meijuan mostly plays the role of a mother, probably because she is also a mother herself, so she plays a deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and is affectionately called "mother professional household" by the audience.
Now that she is in her 60s, she is still active in front of the screen, playing each role to the fullest, perhaps a narrative of her fate.
Xi Meijuan in life is also a mother, but a great single mother, for the sake of her son, she never considered remarriage, decades as a day with her son's heart to live.
As a mother, she did her best to do her duty, as an actress, she regarded the profession as a very sacred, she said that it was a kind of cultural transmission, so she was filming with a sense of awe. In line with and Chinese interpretation of the mother!
In 1955, Xi Meijuan was born in the old alley behind the Lupu Bridge, an ordinary worker family, her father was a toy designer, and her mother was an ordinary weaver.
Xi Meijuan has 5 brothers and sisters, she is the eldest in the family, because her parents are busy at work, and sometimes she has to take care of her younger siblings.
Her mother's ancestral home is in Shanghai, and although the family is not very rich, she still likes to clean up her children, even if the clothes are broken, she will sew them neatly.
But my father liked to read, and his home was full of books he bought, Such as Anna Karenina, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, and so on. Under the influence of her father, Xi Meijuan began to know a few words at a young age.
With her father's influence, when she went to school, she studied much better than other classmates, because she recognized words quickly and she also fell in love with reading. Her ideal was to grow up to be a writer, a writer.
However, when he graduated from high school, he was assigned to work in the countryside, her parents were workers, and she became the first farmer in the family, planting seedlings, picking dung, cutting rice, doing everything, she was relatively small, often pressed straight waist, resulting in the old disease of waist pain.
But labor did not affect her enthusiasm for books, every time she finished her work she was still used to reading, so after more than a month, the Shanghai Drama Theater came here to enroll, in order to complete the indicators, the team let the young Xi Meijuan sign up, so she did not understand what was going on, she went to the interview in a vague way.
At that time, she couldn't even distinguish between "opera" and "drama", but the team said that as long as she could go there to study, she could read books in the future, which made her motivated. At that time, the interviews were all peasant children, and they basically had no talent.
The interview was divided into 4 rounds, and in the last round, when the interviewer asked her: Do you know what a sketch is? She shook her head, and the interviewer suddenly shouted: Someone has grabbed something! She pulled out her leg and ran, and after a while she ran back to the interviewer out of breath and said: Your stuff is for you to chase back. He also pretended to have something in his hand.
The interviewer said very happily: Very good, you will definitely become a very good sketch actor in the future. Later, she said: She didn't know what the situation was at that time, so she instinctively went to act. She also did not know that her fate would change drastically in the future.
In this way, she was a student at the Shanghai Theater, the scale was not large at that time, there were more than 20 students in a class, and they were all born from poor families, so they studied very hard.
And Xi Meijuan is even harder than other students, even on weekends and holidays are not willing to rest, hard to practice the basic skills, every day the first to get up, the last to sleep, she has to practice professional knowledge in school, paving the way for the future.
After graduation, Xi Meijuan was assigned to the Shanghai People's Art Theater, when she was 22 years old, and she was accompanied by Pan Hong, but Pan Hong was beautiful and walked into the screen early.
And Xi Meijuan was assigned to act in a drama, which did not give her too much of a blow, she began to cultivate the drama, ponder the psychology of each character, and act seriously.
The drama of the 80s was very hot, and Xi Meijuan embarked on her long drama journey from the beginning of "Ten Thousand Waters and Thousand Mountains" as "Li Fenglian".
At that time, the actor was very easy-going, and after the performance, she would discuss with the audience, there was no constraint, although the appearance fee was pitifully small, but she still treated each performance with care. She really loves the stage.
After that, she performed well in the drama "Dead Wood and Spring", and also won the Outstanding Performance Award, which made her full of hope for the future.
And here there is her mentor, but also her leader, huang Zuolin, the director of the People's Art Theater, he feels that Xi Meijuan is very hardworking, very talented, worth cultivating, intending to promote her, and later she participated in "Left Behind Lady", "Save Him" and many other works, and became a star in the Shanghai drama industry for a time.
One day she went to the photo studio with her classmates to take pictures, she specially dressed herself very fashionably, burned the big waves of the fashion of that era, and wore very exaggerated clothes, the boss recognized her at a glance, and then left her photo in the window, accompanied by the words "drama starring Xi Meijuan".
After she knew that she was complacent, maybe the young people could not avoid pride, and then the teacher learned about this matter, reprimanded her fiercely, and let her reflect on herself, she realized that acting is only a hobby, can not be interfered with by fame and fortune.
After 15 years of intensive work in the drama industry, she turned to film and television drama performances.
Because of the fame of the drama, she was once considered "not amazing", she was invited in many places, but she picked her own more satisfactory script "Fake Girl True Feelings".
Later, she participated in the filming of "Jiang Zhuying" and finally won the Golden Rooster Best Actress Award, which is an affirmation of her acting skills. Motivation and pressure coexist, and then she takes each role more seriously, whether it is the main role or the supporting role.
She has her own experience for each character she plays: she must be able to feel the deep thoughts of their souls and figure out the mood of the characters from the details, only in this way can she perform the essence of the characters.
In order to perform the play "Jiang Zhuying", she specially visited Jiang Zhuying's wife Lu Changqin, who said that she could more truly appreciate the character characteristics of the characters.
And experiencing the life of real people has become a habit, "Red Carnation", "Yang Shanzhou", "Hawthorn Tree Love" and so on, she will experience it herself.
In the TV series "That Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Round", she made a cameo appearance in Cixi, a role she played for the fifth time, with only 10 scenes in total, and she made a cameo appearance for 2 days. Cixi's lonely and desperate performance is vividly displayed.
For Xi Meijuan, acting is her profession, not hype for 3, just want to play every role with her heart, just such a woman who treats life so seriously, but a single mother in life. Divorced for 27 years, still unmarried!
In 1982, she met zhou Yemang, the enemy of her life, and perhaps everything was predestined, and her life was inseparable from this man.
Xi Meijuan's ex-husband Zhou Yemang was handsome and tall, born in an artistic family, because he loved acting, at the age of 21, he hid from his parents and secretly applied for the Shanghai Theater Academy, determined to become a star.
He has successively played "Yang Qilang" in "Yang Jiajian" and "Lin Chong" in "Water Margin", the two became acquainted because of the drama, facing the tall and handsome Zhou Yemang, Xi Meijuanchun's heart fluttered, and her heart was secretly agreed.
And Zhou Yemang also admired xi meijuan who worked hard and actively, the two quickly came together, fell in love for 3 years, the two entered the palace of their marriage, and not long after the marriage, the 30-year-old Xi Meijuan became pregnant.
This made the two very happy, and the mother-in-law who was anxious to hold the grandson also blossomed happily, and just when the family was waiting for the new life to come, an accident occurred and gave them a heart knot for the first time.
Because Xi Meijuan's work is busy, and the two have no life experience, or according to the previous living habits, ignored the fetal protection, not long after the child accidentally miscarried, which gave the two couples a very big blow.
Also because of this accidental miscarriage, Xi Meijuan's personality has changed greatly, she is finally depressed, busy with her own work, her career is thriving, and her fame is much greater than that of Zhou Yemang, which makes Zhou Yemang have unprecedented pressure, the communication between the two is getting less and less, and the feelings are slowly cooling down.
At the age of 39, Xi Meijuan came with good news again, she was pregnant again, this time she carefully protected the child in her belly, pushed away all the pieces, and was at ease to raise a fetus at home, an elderly mother, whether it is pregnancy or childbirth, is very hard, and there is a certain risk.
But her husband was not as happy as she thought, very plain to her, several times he wanted to stop talking, she thought that his husband was afraid of losing this child again, so she was more careful, where did she know that her husband wanted to give up the marriage.
Originally thought that with children, everything would return to the previous beauty, but she did not expect that not long after giving birth, her husband proposed a divorce, and Xi Meijuan, a marriage without love, did not want to keep it, and this marriage that lasted for 9 years ended at her husband's request.
After the divorce, she lived alone with her son, who took the name of his mother's surname: Xi Nan, in order to make up for his son's lack of paternal love, she did not participate in filming for 5 years, and devoted all her energy to taking care of her son.
It is not easy for a woman to take care of a child, but she must persevere, emotional failures, hardships in life, how many nights she shed tears until dawn, during the day she is still the gentle mother.
Later, she said: Since the feelings are gone, and living together is boring, why not let him go free? In the face of her husband's change of heart, she did not plead bitterly, did not complain about the world, but a person silently bore everything, did not denigrate, did not complain.
Friends also advised her to find a man again, at least when tired to have a dependence, she smiled and said: Maybe I am really not suitable for marriage, now I just want to bring up my son well, he is my spiritual pillar, emotional sustenance, with him I have nothing luxury.
And the ex-husband Zhou Yemang soon remarried again, the object is Wang Zhixia, life is also very happy, but did not want children.
It wasn't until her son went to kindergarten that Xi Meijuan began to go to the screen again for the sake of life.
Because of her acting skills and personality, the filmmakers are still very willing to cooperate with her, and then she played the role of a mother, and Zhou Xun played her daughter in it.
After her re-debut, she conquered the audience with this drama and once again received praise.
Now 66 years old, she is still active in front of the screen, and Zhou Xun once again cooperated in "Tu Youyou's Gift", playing a mother and daughter.
Today, Xi Meijuan's son has also returned from studying in the United States, and is now a well-known painter, and the family's life is peaceful and joyful, which is already the best state.
She felt very comforted to see that her son was so good now.
Because she was influenced by books when she was a child and experienced the precipitation of the years, she did not have any signs of suffering on her, but was more calm and calm.
This "mother professional household" is like a light, giving people warmth and strength.
