Wang Xiao was born in an acting family. His mother is the famous movie star Wang Fuli, who was once known as the "Four Great Flowers" with Gong Xue, Liu Xiaoqing, and Pan Hong, starring in "Cotai Boulevard" and "Our Cow is 100 Years Old" and other works that have won many heavyweight awards.
And his father Wang Qun is a senior director in the industry, and his parents have achieved great success in their careers.
However, this seemingly glamorous family background did not bring joy and glory to the young Wang Xiao. On the contrary, his childhood was filled with loneliness. When Wang Xiao was young, his parents were busy with work, and Wang Xiao could only live with his grandmother.
Whenever Wang Fuli packed up her luggage for a business trip, Xiao Wang Xiao would cry silently on the side, in the long days of separation, he always stayed in the communication room downstairs, looking forward to his mother's phone call, although Wang Fuli's voice on the phone was often disturbed by the sound of electricity, but for Wang Xiao, this was already the happiest moment.
Wang Xiao always lies alone in bed and fantasizes: "If I have a serious illness, my parents can come back to take care of me, and our family can be reunited." During these lonely years, a television set became his most loyal companion.
Through TV, he not only saw his mother's works, but also came into contact with other wonderful film and television dramas.
There was a nautical movie that left a deep impression on Wang Xiao. He is often so engrossed that he will even suddenly turn off the TV and stand on the ground to continue the plot by himself. He said: "At that time, all the characters in the play, including the captain and deputy captain, were all played by me, and I felt very enjoyable.
Years later, when he recalls the event, he still can't hide his excitement.
Perhaps it was in those lonely times that the seeds of the actor's dream quietly took root in Wang Xiao's heart. Although he didn't know at the time what kind of impact this small dream would have on his life path, this experience undoubtedly laid the foundation for his future acting career.
Behind the dazzling starlight, there is a lonely but imaginative little boy who is weaving his acting dreams in his own way.
With the passage of time, Wang Xiao's personality has changed dramatically. The once obedient little boy is no longer well-behaved and has become rebellious. When someone comes to interview someone at home, he always hides and refuses to see anyone.
Regarding the outside world, he no longer takes the initiative to mention that he is Wang Fuli's son.
Wang Xiao became extremely lively and aggressive at school, naughty and mischievous, skipping class and being frequently called parents by the teacher, and even once his mother Wang Fuli was called to the office by the teacher to reprimand, causing her to cry on the spot.
, a star who has long been shining on the screen, is helpless in the face of his son's rebellion.
However, Wang Xiao's rebellious period did not last long. The reason he changed his attitude was because he had heard a story about his mother. It is said that in order to celebrate his birthday, his mother jumped out of the car to buy a cake during filming.
At that time, Wang Fuli was filming in Shanghai, and in order to bring back his favorite Shanghai cake for her son, she jumped out of a car that could not be parked at a traffic light intersection, and the staff shouted in the back: "Teacher Wang is dead!" However, Wang Fuli only wanted to fulfill her promise to her son.
Hearing this story, Wang Xiao's tears instantly welled up in his eyes, the past surged like a tide, and the ice in his heart turned into tears. He finally understood that his parents didn't love him, but because they were too busy with work to accompany him, and his mother even gave up a lot of job opportunities for him, he couldn't be so ignorant anymore.
The sudden realization made Wang Xiao grow up overnight. He began to seriously think about his future, and the seed in his heart that wanted to be an actor began to break through the ground. From then on, Wang Xiao began to beg his parents to give him a chance, even if it was just a small role.
He said, "Can you find me a little role in the play?" Just let me try, I don't want to be famous" However, parents who know the bitterness of the entertainment industry do not want their son to follow in his footsteps, and Wang Xiao's sincere request is sometimes only perfunctory and delayed.
Despite this, Wang Xiao did not give up on his dream. He began to cherish his parents' dedication even more, and at the same time, he was also looking for his own path in life.
Faced with their son's dream of becoming an actor, Wang Fuli and his wife arranged for him to study abroad in order to become an elite in the workplace in the future. Wang Xiao obeyed his parents' decision, but deep down he was full of yearning for his acting career.
He went to Russia in the name of learning Russian, and in fact he applied for the Moscow Film Academy in order to realize his dream of acting.
A few years later, Wang Xiao once again embarked on the road of studying in Canada and studied 3D animation. Every holiday, Wang Xiao always begged his parents and begged them to give him a chance to play tricks.
even said: "If it really doesn't work, I'll go to my grandfather's Peking Opera Company to be a martial artist, I just want to try it on stage" However, Wang Fuli prevaricates every time with the reason of "next time, next time".
According to his parents' expectations, Wang Xiao studied business administration abroad and found a high-paying job after graduation. On the surface, his life seems to have embarked on a smooth and safe path.
However, Wang Xiao felt extreme pain and depression in his heart In 2004, he made an eye-popping decision: quit his high-paying job abroad and resolutely returned to China to pursue his dream of being an actor.
In the surprised eyes of his parents, Wang Xiao confessed: "One day, when I looked in the mirror and brushed my teeth, I found that I was not happy, and there was no smile on my face. I'm thinking, if I'm old, how should I explain my choice to my children and grandchildren? Should it be said that grandpa had a dream back then but didn't realize it for the sake of money, or should it be said that grandpa had a dream back then, and I gave up money for him, so I have no regrets in this life? ”。
When Wang Fuli and his wife heard these sincere words, they felt distressed and guilty. They finally made concessions, but still warned Wang Xiao: "You are too fat now, it is really not good for an actor to be so fat and photogenic, at least you have to lose thirty or forty pounds."
"。
After seeing his parents relieved, Wang Xiao was very excited, and he immediately started a strict weight loss plan. For the next six months, he ate only soda crackers and was very controlled in his diet.
When he appeared in front of Wang Fuli again, he had already lost a full 60 pounds, with tears in her eyes, looking at her son's skinny appearance distressedly, and also understanding his determination and goal.
Wang Xiao saw his parents' worries, so he took the initiative to promise: "I didn't enter the showbiz to become a dazzling star, I only focused on filming and being an actor, I won't use your resources and fame to find relationships, I will rely on my own efforts."
With such determination, Wang Xiao embarked on the road of acting that he dreamed of.
In order to fulfill his promise, Wang Xiao started his acting career as an extras at the grassroots level. He sent his resume and attended interviews everywhere, and even though he was only paid 300 yuan a day, he had no complaints.
Whether in front of or after people, he has never revealed his identity as a second-generation star, and has always moved forward step by step with his own strength.
During this period, Wang Xiao successively participated in excellent works such as "Xia Yan's Autumn" and "Wife's Secret". Although he is not from a professional background, he continues to learn and grow in practice, and steadily improves his acting skills.
He treats every character, no matter how big or small, and puts all his heart and soul into it, striving to interpret the characters in place and penetrate into the hearts of the people.
In 2012, Wang Xiao's career ushered in a turning point. During the filming of "Midsummer Evening Sunny Day", his outstanding performance was favored by Yang Mi in the same crew and became a signed artist of Yang Mi's company. This opportunity turned his career around, but instead of being complacent, he worked harder to hone his acting skills.
On this bumpy and tortuous road, Wang Xiao has always maintained a low profile and tenacity. He knows very well that only tested acting skills can make the audience truly accept an actor. Whether it is a hot summer or a cold winter, whether it is morning and dusk upside down or repeated practice of lines, Wang Xiao has no complaints.
He firmly believes that only by putting in enough sweat can the sweet fruit be harvested.
As time went on, Wang's efforts began to pay off. He played the honest and honest "Bai Xiaowu" in "White Deer Plain", which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people; In "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", he interpreted "Si Ming Xingjun" with superb acting skills, which made countless girls fall for it; In "The Golden Years", his rivalry with Ni Ni is even more exciting.
These roles all let the audience see his progress and strength.
Although he has made some achievements, Wang Xiao is not satisfied with this, he still perseveres, constantly challenges himself, and looks forward to greater breakthroughs. In this showbiz, the second generation of stars gathered, but Wang Xiao proved with his own practical actions that real success depends on unremitting efforts, not the halo of family background.
His experience undoubtedly sets a good example for many young people who have acting dreams.
After years of hard work and accumulation, Wang Xiao's acting skills have become more and more exquisite, and he has performed brilliantly in many works. His characterization has become more and more diverse, and every appearance can surprise the audience.
In "White Deer Plain", he successfully portrayed the honest and honest "Bai Xiaowu"; In "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", he won the love of many girls with his delicate acting skills and became the most popular "Si Ming Xingjun"; In "The Golden Years", his rivalry with Ni Ni is also a major attraction, no matter which role, Wang Xiao has put all his efforts into it, and strives to portray it in place.
In recent years, Wang Xiao's acting career has been rising, and has received extensive attention from inside and outside the industry. In "County Party Committee Compound", his performance won unanimous praise from the audience and industry insiders.
Especially in the recent hit TV series "Hurricane", the role of "Yang Jian" played by Wang Xiao has once again become the focus of everyone's attention, Wang Xiao's superb acting skills vividly show the greed and regret of the role of "Yang Jian", and interpret this complex role to the fullest.
The audience expressed that they were deeply impressed by Wang Xiao's acting skills, and some commentators commented: "Wang Xiao's 'Yang Jian' is very real, and the control of the character's inner struggles and struggles is extremely accurate.
Some people also said: "Watching 'Yang Jian' go from a depraved state to a feeling of remorse, Wang Xiao's performance is deeply touching."
Unlike other second-generation stars who rely on parental resources to get roles, Wang Xiao has won the recognition of the audience with his own strength. Also in the TV series "Hurricane", Wu Gang's son played "Gao Xiaochen", but was complained by many audiences, and was criticized for "only squeezing his eyebrows and staring" and "it is the failure of the whole show".
This stark contrast highlights Wang Xiao's acting strength.
Wang Xiao's success proves that a real actor does not only rely on background and resources, but also on strength and hard work. He used his own experience to tell everyone that as long as he firmly pursues his dreams and sweats, he can walk out of his own brilliant chapter on the road of acting.
In the entertainment industry, Wang Xiao may be one of the second generation of stars who are most loved by the audience. His success is not only his superb acting skills, but also his determination to insist on not relying on his parents' resources and proving himself with strength.
This kind of determination and success undoubtedly gives a resounding warning to the second generation of stars who rely on their parents' fame.
In the recent hit TV series "Hurricane", Wang Xiao's performance impressed the audience, but some viewers were dissatisfied with the "Gao Xiaochen" played by Wu Gang's son in it, and criticized him for only "squeezing his eyebrows and staring", which became the failure of the whole show.
The same situation also appeared in another TV series "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight", in which Chen Baoguo's son Chen Yicheng's performance could not satisfy the audience.
What the audience is dissatisfied with is not that these second-generation stars have been given important role opportunities because of their parents' relationship, but that they have not shown their due acting skills when acting. In stark contrast, Wang Xiao, who does not seek resources through his parents and does not compete for roles, can be called an outstanding performer.
Wang Xiao's success shows that the second generation of stars does not only rely on the aura of their parents to play a role. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, stay humble and focus on improving your strength, you can also win the recognition and respect of the audience, and other second-generation stars can learn from his experience: should not always hide under the halo of their parents, but should have the courage to step out of their own life path and prove their worth with strength.
A few years later, when Wang Xiao is old, he can proudly tell his children: "I paid a lot for my dreams and gave up a lot, but I have no regrets." Walking through those thorny lands will always usher in flowers, and those who can endure fatigue and loneliness will always be better able to bear the glory.
This persistence and dedication is the true meaning of Wang Xiao's success, and it is also the inspiration he provides for all dreamers.
