The Bitter History of Xing Maoju, a Famous Ugly Star

1990, the famous director Li filmed bloody morning in a small village in Shaanxi.

There is a role of a little boy in the script, and no suitable candidate has been found yet. Helpless, she frowned and paced back and forth in the village.

At this moment, she suddenly saw a little boy sitting at the door of a villager, who looked very much like the role image.

So she went over to the little boy and said, "I am the director who filmed in the village these days." I need a little actor. Do you want to try? "

The little boy was just ridiculed by his peers as "too ugly" and was very depressed. I didn't expect someone to ask him to act.

He agreed without hesitation. At the age of 9, he starred in the first film "Bloody Morning".

It was this film that made him dream of becoming an actor, and he has been working hard in this direction for the next few decades.

The little boy was ridiculed as uglier than Bo Huang. After 20 years as a supporting actor, Xing Maoju is now a billionaire director.

Xing Maoju was born in an ordinary family in Zuoquan County, Shanxi Province. His appearance is called "unusual" at best and "ugly" at worst.

When she was a child, Xing Maoju was laughed at by her peers. At the age when he should fight with friends, he has no friends.

Fortunately, Xingmao drama also has the ability of "entertaining itself" and likes to perform since childhood. Every time he watches TV, he remembers the expressions of the actors on TV and then performs in front of the mirror.

One day, 9-year-old Xing Maoju was laughed at by other friends again. Gloomily, he sat alone on the low stool in front of the house.

He has been holding his head in his hands and asking himself over and over again: "am I really that ugly?"

At this time, director Li, who was filming bloody morning in the village, looked at Xingmaoju from a distance. She couldn't help but shine at the moment and quickly invited him to play a walk-on in the movie.

This unremarkable acting experience gave Xing Maoju, who has always loved acting, an actor dream. He decided to study hard, be admitted to a university where he can study acting, and become a real actor in the future.

In order to realize her dream as an actor as soon as possible, Xing Maoju has been paying attention to the recruitment information of actors in major newspapers and magazines since she finished filming "Bloody Dawn".

Finally, at the age of 12, he played the role of Dou Ge in the movie Double Lights. Although there are not many scenes, it makes Xing Maoju more determined to take the road of actors.

However, the dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Xing Maoju's family is just an ordinary family in rural Shanxi. Originally, the family conditions were not very good, and even the tuition fees for junior high schools were borrowed.

After Xing Maoju graduated from high school, he was embarrassed to let his family continue to borrow money for his education. So he gritted his teeth and chose to drop out of school.

He said to his parents, "I'm going to Beijing. There are many opportunities in big cities. I'm sure I can be an actor. "

Hearing this, Xing Maoju's parents quickly stopped him: "You are ugly and short, and you are not cut out to be an actor at all."

But Xing Maoju still insists: "In the entertainment circle, as long as you have acting skills, you will be famous."

In the end, his family couldn't beat him, so he nodded helplessly.

At that time, Xing Maoju did not expect that his ugly face would bring him earth-shaking changes. He can't even imagine that he can still "eat by his face"

When Xing Maoju set foot on the road of drifting north, she was penniless except for a few pancakes in her pocket. As soon as he arrived in Beijing, he rushed to various crews for interviews.

Seeing him grow up like this, the crew can't associate him with the word "actor" at all.

Xing Maoju saw that the actor's dream was hopeless for the time being, and he chose "curve to save the country". When he went to the interview again, he didn't say a word about the actor, only that he came to interview as a handyman.

Xing Maoju soon found a job as a handyman and an errand boy in the crew. But this salary simply can't support Xing Maoju's life in Beijing. In order to save rent, he sleeps under the subway station or other people's eaves at night, eats only one meal every day and drinks water when he is hungry.

Although life is hard and tiring, as long as she can stay in the crew every day, Xing Maoju doesn't believe that she can't wait for the opportunity to be an actor.

Once, when Xing Maoju saw that the crew was recruiting extras, she went to the interview ecstatically. Unexpectedly, when the director saw him, he couldn't help mocking him: You look like a mouse with a sharp mouth and a monkey's face. Might as well play skits and clowns.

In the face of setbacks and disdain, Xing Maoju still did not flinch. He still sends resumes to various cast members every day. After numerous interviews, Xing Maoju finally succeeded in waiting for the opportunity to play a walk-on.

In the early years, Xing Maoju was a "walk-on" who didn't even have lines in such film and television dramas as Love in Shenzhen, Song of Youth and How Much Love Can Come Again.

Even so, Xing Maoju didn't care, regardless of the size of the role, he took out 120 points of energy to interpret the role. He believes that looks are given by his parents. Since you can't change your appearance, you should try to improve your acting skills.

In order to prove her acting skills, Xingmaoju worked hard every time she filmed. Even the "background board" is also a "background board" for "hitting the upper body".

With the increasing number of star Mao dramas appearing on the big screen, directors gradually remembered this extraordinarily ugly actor.

After years of hard work, Xingmao Drama struggled to play a supporting role with lines in 2000, and he finally got his own name on the cast list.

In 2004, Xing Maoju played "Lai Zi" in the criminal investigation drama "I am not a hero". Even though she competed with Sun, an old opera player, she never lost her momentum.

We often say: If you work hard, God will take care of you.

Xing Maoju's acting skills have been seen by more and more directors by virtue of his acting skills and the blessing of his lines during the "mime" period.

After playing one unique supporting role after another, Xingmaoju became a famous "ugly star" in the circle.

After becoming an "ugly star", Xing Maoju no longer has to worry about not being able to act. This "special looking" actor left a deep impression on the audience.

Some people even compare him with Bo Huang, but when it comes to ugliness, he is "better" than Bo Huang.

In 2008, Xing Maoju met an important figure in his acting career.

That year, he played "satisfaction" in the drama A Beautiful Life directed by Guo Jingyu. When filming in the crew, Guo Jingyu found that Xing Maoju played very hard and basically did it all over again.

Guo Jingyu through careful observation, he found that XingMaoJu this person, in fact, ugly very characteristic, let a person can remember at a glance. So I took him. After filming Beautiful Life, he invited Xing Maoju to play the role of dice in the TV series Iron Pear Flower.

Xing Maoju won the title of "Diego" with her superb acting skills and her unique "ugly face" in Tieli Pear.

Guo Jingyu quipped: Be careful when filming with Xing Maoju. He robbed me by accident. His level is already the level of the film emperor.

At this time, someone said to Xing Maoju: You might as well be a director, so no one will say that you robbed the leading role.

Xing Maoju pondered repeatedly in her mind: If I were an actor, I might always be just a supporting role. No matter how hard I try, I will only be the "best supporting actor". Why not be a director?

Once a person has an idea, it is like sowing a seed in his heart, which will take root and sprout slowly and never be pulled out again.

Xing Maoju began to try to transform into a director. He told this idea to Guo Jingyu, who was grateful to him. I didn't expect Guo Jingyu to say to him: You should study hard with me in the future.

Guo Jingyu learned a little about Xing Mao Ju and began to learn from the basics bit by bit. Every time I shoot, I take him with me to assist in shooting, so that he can understand the shooting process of the whole film and television work.

In order to study more systematically, Xing Maoju gave up her acting career and was admitted to the director training class of the Central Academy of Drama, where she continued her studies for two years.

In 20 13, Xing Maoju and Guo Jingyu, who returned from their studies, directed the TV series Dog Stick, which was nominated for the Best Director Award of Magnolia at that time.

Xing Maoju, who has played a walk-on for 23 years, not only became a director, but also made a "King Fried".

20 14, with director Guo Jingyu, Xing Maoju, who won the first battle, brought another masterpiece, The Ferry of the Soul. At that time, the number of plays on the Internet reached 2.2 billion, and the popularity even exceeded that of Tomb Raider Notes.

There is no famous director or big-name actor in this play, and the writer's popularity is not high. As it happens, among many online dramas, "deus ex" won the "Best Online Self-made Drama in China" award.

Xing Maoju was also named "Top Ten Young TV Directors in China". At this point, Xing Maoju, who has been in the entertainment circle for more than 20 years, successfully counterattacked.

Later, Xing Maoju directed excellent works such as Mother, I met him in Hong Kong and Perfect Country.

In 2020, he also directed the anti-epidemic series "The Most Beautiful Returnees". His worth has been rising, and he has become the director of a billionaire.

"Ugly star" is no longer his only label, but he has a label of "director of a genius".

At the age of 39, Xing Maoju, who went through all kinds of hardships, spent a lot of money to buy a luxury car as a reward.

Xing Maoju, who has made great strides in her career, has not been idle emotionally.

Although Xing Maoju is not good-looking, his wife Mou Xingqu is a very beautiful girl.

Many people say that such a beautiful girl in Mouxing District, living with Xingmao, must have taken a fancy to his money. But this is not the case.

Xing Maoju knew Mouxing District when he was filming "Iron Pear Flower". The couple got married in 2009, when Xing Maoju was still an unknown little role.

Their married life is quite low-key. In order to protect his wife, Xing Maoju never mentions his wife in public, and there are few photos of them on the Internet.

In the face of external doubts, Xing Maoju's wife said sweetly: "He has a good temper and is honest. I value his heart more than his appearance. In these years with him, I am very comfortable and happy every day. "

We often say: judge a person by his appearance.

Although the appearance of Xingmaoju is not outstanding enough, he has recognized his dream and made every effort to succeed step by step. He also harvested a beautiful love with his sincerity.

Angel once said: All persistence will be rewarded.

Xing Maoju can have today's achievements, and only he knows the efforts behind it.

What you shout out with your mouth is chicken soup, and what you get with your actions is truth.

Those who can control their own initiative in life, which one is not climbing towards their dreams step by step?
