In November 2022, the Golden Rooster Awards award ceremony opened.
The competition for Best Actress is extremely fierce, and everyone is guessing who will win the trophy.
results are out!
is Xi Meijuan !
In fact, this is not the first time she has stood at the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.
1990, she won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress Trophy.
She thanked the audience and the judges with a smile, and her heart was filled with the joy of winning the award.
At that time, she didn't know that her marriage would end because of this trophy.
What happened back then?
01 The road to study
1955, Xi Meijuan was born in a normal working family in Shanghai.
Her parents are very simple and honest people, and as the eldest sister, she has several younger brothers and sisters behind her.
When parents were busy with work, the sensible and obedient Xi Meijuan took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings.
Xi Meijuan knew that her parents' hard work, and no matter in study or life, she never let the two elders worry about themselves.
The year after graduating from high school, Xi Meijuan went to Chongming Island to go to the queue.
At that time, she was young, but she was in deep confusion.
The college entrance examination has not been restored, so she can't study.
She also has no skill and cannot support herself.
During a chat with a friend, Xi Meijuan accidentally learned about the admissions of Shanghai Theater Academy, and her mind became active.
Xi Meijuan's father was seconded by the Shanghai Film Factory to develop a small projector. After his father returned home, he brought several film tapes and put them for several children to watch.
That was Xi Meijuan's first time in contact with a movie, and she was full of novelty about the little people on the screen.
Later, an open-air cinema was set up in the yard, and Xi Meijuan often watched movies in her spare time.
The little girl planted a seed of dreams in her heart.
When I heard about the admissions of Shanghai Theater, Xi Meijuan signed up without hesitation for too long.
At that time, Xi Meijuan mistakenly listened to "drama" as "drama", and thought that she had signed up for "drama school" and would sing big dramas in the future. During the
exam, Xi Meijuan performed a sketch with the theme of "Fire in the Pig Shed".
Xi Meijuan has never learned performance knowledge and knows that she cannot compete with candidates with a foundation, so she chose the theme that is closest to life.
As expected, she acted easily, and her simple performance was appreciated by the invigilator and received the admission notice from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. The
exam was able to take advantage of the situation. It was not until Xi Meijuan actually entered the classroom and started learning that she knew how far she was from her classmates with foundation.
. Xi Meijuan, who was left far behind, was used to study every minute and every second. The teacher said that she had to study three points and never dared to slack off for a moment.
What made Xi Meijuan disappointed was that no matter how hard she worked or performed well in the school stage plays, she could not get the invitation from the crew.
At that time, the entertainment industry was in a period of development, and countless crews were springing up like mushrooms after a rain.
In order to save money, the director turned his attention to the students who had not graduated.
These students who are not rich have low pay and are obedient.
But the directors can never pick Xi Meijuan.
The reason is that Xi Meijuan's face is a bit wide and square, which is completely different from the popular goose-faced beauties at that time.
Xi Meijuan is unable to change her appearance, so she can only temper her strength.
Even though she has not been favored by the directors, she has never left her homework.
In 1977, Xi Meijuan graduated from Shanghai Theater and was assigned to the Shanghai People's Art Theater.
The most popular drama back then was "Thousands of Water and Mountains", and all dramas across the country are sequel to this drama.
Xi Meijuan caught up with the good times and once she entered, she starred in "Thousands of Water and Mountains" and got the only female character in it.
When Xi Meijuan was in school, she rehearsed many dramas with her classmates.
Sometimes she plays a young child, and sometimes she also plays a gray-haired old man.
Xi Meijuan thought she would not be stage frightened, but when she really walked on the stage, she realized that this performance was completely different from what she imagined.
At that time, at school, most of the students who played against Xi Meijuan were students of the same age. No matter how serious and diligent they were, they were like children playing house.
But when he arrived in the theater, Xi Meijuan faced her seniors, and a sense of oppression came to her face.
When the rehearsal was initially rehearsed, the opponent's actors were too strong and Xi Meijuan couldn't catch the show.
At that moment, Xi Meijuan truly realized that performance was not a joke.
The years in the theater were Xi Meijuan’s most unforgettable.
There, she spent her beautiful years and learned the ability of an actor to settle down.
02 Movie Road
Xi Meijuan likes theaters very much. The only thing that makes her a little headache is that her salary is a little lower.
Xi Meijuan's parents are getting older and cannot afford high-intensity work as before. In addition, she has several younger brothers and sisters, getting married, studying, and having countless places where the whole family needs to spend money.
Xi Meijuan wants to make more money and reduce the burden on her family.
So as long as there are characters in the group, she will fight hard, hoping to earn more.
At that time, someone in the group took on movies and TV, and the remuneration was quite generous.
Xi Meijuan was also invited to meet with the director, but she never caught the director's eye every time.
Because Xi Meijuan is not very photogenic, her face, which is originally beautiful, is immediately reduced to six points on the big screen.
The number of times Xi Meijuan was unwilling to go to the test paper. She thought that she would act honestly when she didn't appear on camera and stop caring about acting in movies.
Unexpectedly, in 1990, she actually received an invitation from the crew of " Fake Jurchen Love " and still played the leading role.
This is the first time Xi Meijuan has participated in film production. She has awe of her performance and completed the filming of the film in her best condition.
Xi Meijuan has pondered every expression, expression and tone of the character before the filming, striving to shape the character to a deep level.
The emperor lives up to the hard work. This movie was well received after its release and even gave Xi Meijuan the throne of the Golden Rooster Best Actress.
The Golden Rooster Awards will be broadcast on the news broadcast of the winners of various awards. At that time, Xi Meijuan was rehearsing a drama in the rehearsal hall. After seeing Xi Meijuan win the award, the dean immediately ran to inform her: " Meijuan , you have won the Golden Rooster Award."
Seeing the smiling dean, Xi Meijuan was stunned at first, and after a while, he realized it, and then a huge joy surged in his heart.
She couldn't help but shout, "I won the prize!"
Xi Meijuan's value immediately increased twice as much as she was the one she had never been interested in in the past.
In the past, she was criticized for her appearance and was criticized for not appearing on camera. She was criticized several times for interviewing the crew, which made her full of doubts about her appearance several times.
But after she won the Best Actress Award trophy, she didn't expect to hear people exclaiming: "It's better to lose face like you, and be on camera."
Famous and profit flocked to you, and people who had met several times would warmly hold Xi Meijuan's hand and greet her, as if both sides were old friends for many years.
Every time Xi Meijuan appears, countless cameras will look at her, and reporters will shout to her wildly: "Teacher Xi, look at the camera."
Just a queen of the movie trophy, it has brought about earth-shaking changes in Xi Meijuan's life.
This is something Xi Meijuan has never had before, which makes her very uncomfortable.
than spotlight gathered on her body, she enjoyed her days of silently filming and acting in dramas.
But Xi Meijuan's strength is there, and it is difficult to keep a low profile.
In 1997, Xi Meijuan was nominated for the Golden Rooster Best Actress for "A Tree".
The Golden Rooster's Best Actress Award has given Xi Meijuan a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.
03 Marriage is not as sweet as love
Those years were considered the luckiest years in Xi Meijuan's life. Not only did she make a name for her career, but she also had a peach blossom in her relationship.
When working in the drama troupe, Xi Meijuan met Zhou Yemang .
is different from Xi Meijuan. Zhou Yemang is over 1.8 meters tall and has handsome features. He is very outstanding among the crowd.
In 1982, Zhou Yemang came to the Shanghai Drama Troupe in order to pursue his acting dream.
After the two became colleagues, they looked down and saw each other without looking up, and they developed feelings for each other day.
Although dreaming day and night is one year younger than Xi Meijuan, I am like a tolerant brother to Xi Meijuan, and I care about her well-being all day long.
This is the tenderness that Xi Meijuan has never felt before. She is the eldest sister in the family. She can only take care of others, not be taken care of by others.
In the other party's consideration and tenderness, Xi Meijuan fell step by step, and her love for Zhou Yemang became deeper and deeper day by day.
plus Xi Meijuan gets older, and her parents' urge to get married day by day, so she hurriedly hurriedly got married to Zhou Yemang.
This year, Xi Meijuan was thirty years old.
Xi Meijuan was in the past. She did not leave her career as a housewife, but still honed her acting skills and rehearsed dramas.
Years later, Xi Meijuan, who was so close to her husband, became pregnant.
This was a happy event, but Xi Meijuan was obsessed with work and was extremely tired, resulting in unfortunate miscarriage.
Xi Meijuan blamed herself and felt that she had not fulfilled her mother's responsibilities, which led to the tragedy .
Zhou Yemang understood her love for career and was always by her wife to comfort her during that period.
Seeing the couple so sad, the mother-in-law could only swallow the blame words back into her stomach, but she still had a knot in her heart.
Xi Meijuan knew that her mother-in-law and husband were looking forward to having a child, so she planned to take care of her body and get pregnant with another one.
Unexpectedly, a Golden Rooster Queen's Trophy disrupted Xi Meijuan's plan.
Xi Meijuan, who won the actress's queen, became popular. Countless films came like snowflakes, making her busy.
plus Zhou Yemang's fortune has come. He has successively dubbed "Yang Qilang" in "Yang Family Generals" and "Feng Ziping" in "Xin Shisi Niang", and has a name in the industry and started a busy dubbing career.
The two don’t go home all year round, and the couple meet less and less every year. How can they talk about preparing for pregnancy and having children?
The relationship between them is getting thinner and thinner every day, from the sweet love at the beginning to the relative speechlessness afterwards.
Friends are passing by and marriage is becoming precarious.
Xi Meijuan noticed this, and she still loved Zhou Yemang and began to find ways to keep this relationship.
She has reduced her work and devoted more time and energy to Zhou Yemang.
But Zhou Yemang is very busy, and even if Xi Meijuan stays at home, it will be difficult to see her husband.
Xi Meijuan fell into deep anxiety and didn't know what to do.
In desperation, Xi Meijuan thought of a bad idea. She said to Zhou Yemang, "Let's have a baby."
Zhou Yemang was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded.
That's it. After eight years of marriage, Xi Meijuan finally got pregnant.
She thought this child could repair the cracks between the couple, but Zhou Yemang was not as happy as she imagined.
He still cares about his pregnant wife and is considerate, and allows his mother-in-law, who is looking forward to the arrival of her child, to take care of her in person.
Zhou Yemang is still so gentle, but there is less love in his eyes.
Xi Meijuan can only comfort herself and wait until the child is born.
What she didn't expect was that once the cracks between husband and wife were formed, it would be difficult to repair.
04 Divorce to raise a son alone
1994, 39-year-old Xi Meijuan gave birth to a cute child.
As an elderly mother, Xi Meijuan suffered a serious pregnancy during her pregnancy and she suffered a lot.
But when Xi Meijuan saw the child’s cute face, she felt that everything was worth it.
She held the child and burst into tears, her heart full of emotion.
Zhou Yemang was also very happy and hugged the mother and son tightly.
Feeling the warmth of her husband, Xi Meijuan felt that her marriage was saved.
At that time, Xi Meijuan never expected that Zhou Yemang's excitement was just the joy of becoming a father for the first time, not the gratitude for his wife.
Just as Xi Meijuan was immersed in the joy of reuniting with her husband, Zhou Yemang filed for divorce.
Looking at the baby in the cradle and feeling the pain caused by pregnancy and childbirth, Xi Meijuan felt like a joke.
The husband's cold attitude and resolute tone made Xi Meijuan know that everything she did to save her marriage was useless.
She looked at Zhou Yemang with her head down and felt that this man who had been with her for many years was unfamiliar.
Time set a huge crack between them.
Gullies are hard to fill, it’s time to let go!
When this idea came to my mind, Xi Meijuan did not try to keep her too much, but just asked her child to live with her and take her surname.
Zhou Yemang didn't say much and nodded silently.
When the child was one year old, Xi Meijuan and Zhou Yemang completed the divorce procedures.
When everything was over, Xi Meijuan held the child and looked at the sunshine in the sky. It was so clear and beautiful, just like her mood when she entered the marriage.
smiled and said goodbye to her former self. Xi Meijuan took the child home.
After the divorce, Zhou Yemang quickly married Qiong girl Wang Zhixia , looking like he did not respect his ex-wife or care about his son.
Relatives and friends are unfair to Xi Meijuan, but she has no feelings at all, and just wants to raise the children well.
She asked the child to take her surname and named her Xinan.
Xi Meijuan, who was a mother for the first time, had to take care of her children's daily life, but she couldn't bear it without her husband's help.
At this moment, Xi Meijuan's parents came.
When we first divorced, Xi Meijuan's parents, who were unaware of the inside story, became very angry. They felt that their daughter was almost forty years old and were still so willful to divorce. It was really not.
Xi Meijuan thought that her parents would not care about her, but she did not expect that her parents came to take care of herself and her children with big bags.
With the help of parents, the novice mother Xi Meijuan is not so busy.
In the first few years of the birth of the child, Xi Meijuan has not gone out to work in order to better take care of her son and make up for the physical weakness of giving birth at an elderly age.
It was not until 1997 that Xi Meijuan made a comeback again and was nominated for the Golden Rooster Best Actress for the movie "A Tree".
The child is growing up, and Xi Meijuan gradually realizes that milk powder and diapers are all small money, and going to study, marriage and having children in the future is the big part of spending money.
Even if you are the only one raising children, you must give them a rich life.
Adhering to this idea, Xi Meijuan worked harder.
Xi Meijuan is away all year round when filming, so her son is given to her parents for care.
Fear that long-term separation will make her and her children unfamiliar, Xi Meijuan will call her son whenever she goes out.
This is the case every day when filming outside. Xi Meijuan did not care for her children in one day.
The son hears his mother's voice every day, and he doesn't feel that his mother is far away.
When the other actresses were crying because their work was too strange to their son on the show, Xi Meijuan could proudly say that her son never felt unfamiliar with her because of her work.
When the child was 12 years old, Xi Meijuan looked at the little man and told him the whole story of her divorce.
Xi Meijuan has always felt sorry for her child not being able to grow up in a healthy family.
Xi Meijuan's son Xi Nan was very sensible. He knew his mother's helplessness and difficulty. He worked very hard to study his studies and painting. His obedience and sensibility did not make Xi Meijuan feel more distracted.
In 2016, Xi Meijuan sent her son abroad for further study.
Xi Nan completed his in-class studies as Xi Meijuan wished and achieved a very impressive grade point .
In addition, Xi also used his spare time to save part-time living expenses, and the planes he took were the cheapest. The money saved by
is used by the Xi man to buy gifts for his mother.
In 2019, Xi Nan returned from studying and lived with her mother.
At that time, Xi'an could already support himself, and the pressure on Xi Meijuan's shoulders was much less.
But Xi Meijuan is still active in film and television dramas, because for her, "acting" is not only a job that makes money, but also a career that she loves.
Not long ago, Xi Meijuan also relied on the movie "Mom! 》 Wins the Golden Rooster Best Actress.
At present, the historical drama " World of the Long River " starring her is currently on the air.
Whether it is a movie or a TV series, Xi Meijuan uses 100% enthusiasm and energy to shape the characters.
Whether it is Alzheimer's disease or the kind Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang , Xi Meijuan portrays them vividly and fleshly.
Some people are sorry that Xi Meijuan has never remarried, so she is inevitably a little lonely. What's wrong with
being able to be with your career?
Look at Xi Meijuan now. She has her real works and is a respected veteran actor no matter where she goes.
Compared with the actresses who made soup when they got married and were in the back home, Xi Meijuan is the heroine in life.
