Li Xiaoran's name impresses people the most because of the gentle and graceful Yin Jingwan she played in "It's Too Late to Say I Love You".
Is Yu Wufang unwilling to bow to fate in "Phoenix Wears Peony", or is Gu Xiaojun acting vigorously in "Big Husband"?
However, in her career, Li Xiaoran's deepest impression is the fragile temperament in her
She was tall and white, but there was a hint of melancholy in her big watery eyes.
Some people may be confused: she has both good looks and acting skills, why has she not been widely recognized?
The melancholy in her eyes was actually the answer.
Li Xiaoran can be said to be a person who was born to work in the arts, she is not only beautiful in appearance and outstanding in temperament, but also inherited the slender legs of her parents.
Li Xiaoran, born in the courtyard of Jun District, Beijing, has carried the ardent expectations of his parents since he was a child. Her dad is an air juncture with extensive experience piloting fighter jets, while her mom is a doctor.
Despite her privileged family and worry-free life, her parents did not spoil her, on the contrary, they disciplined her more strictly.
She once said: When I was a child, I always suspected that I was picked up from the garbage heap. Since I was in the first grade of elementary school, I had to wash my own socks, ** and handkerchiefs. 」
I asked the whole class, and they all said that their mother never let them take a bath by themselves, and that I was the only one who did it.
While the only daughter of other families wore gorgeous princess dresses, her parents, who were Xi using money for the sword, rarely bought her particularly beautiful and eye-catching new clothes. However, they will spend thousands of dollars on her just to buy her a piano.
She has liked to wear small pants and a vest since she was a child, she looks like a little boy, and runs wildly in the yard with the boys in the yard all day long, often bruising her knees and bruising them, and always hurting freshly healed wounds.
Maybe it was because she wanted her to be quiet as a mischievous child, or maybe it was because her parents' artistic dreams had never been realized, her father wanted her to learn Xi the accordion, and her mother wanted her to be a dancer, wearing a crisp white tutu and dancing lightly on stage.
At the age of 6, she was sent to accordion and dance classes. It should be pointed out that whether it is heavy snow in winter or pouring rain in summer, her mother often rides her bicycle for 15 minutes, then transfers to a bus, and finally walks for another 15 minutes to take her to a children's class at the China Opera and Dance Theater.
She didn't understand her parents' good intentions at the time, and she was very disgusted with them"Strong"。In order to avoid attending training classes, she often pretended to be sick.
Her mother said to her resolutely: "Xiao Ran, you must learn to dance, this can not only cultivate your temperament, but also make you more girly, we can't let you run around the street like you are now." ”
Unable to resist her parents' wishes, she accepted accordion and dance lessons for two and a half years, and her fate gradually changed under her mother's unwavering push.
When she was in the fifth grade of primary school, the High School Affiliated to Beijing Dance Academy conducted a nationwide enrollment and planned to enroll 12 boys and 12 girls.
With a mentality of testing the waters, she was registered by her mother.
She was only 9 years old, but she successfully went through the preliminary examination, re-examination, physical examination and cultural class examination, and finally became the only candidate admitted to Beijing that year.
Although she was lucky to be admitted, the seven years she spent at Beiwu High School became one of the "particularly painful" times in her life.
Every morning at 6:30 a.m., the students of Beiwu High School have to get up to run, practice, and enjoy going home on weekends. "I actually like to sleep in," she admits. ”
She was born with a love of freedom, and it was really unbearable for this "bondage" life. As a result, she began to try to be lazy, occasionally pretending to be sick and taking time off, skipping classes.
She procrastigated every morning until it was almost the end before going down for a run for a morning exerciseIn order to maintain her body shape, her classmates did not dare to eat more, but she not only did not control her weight, but also ate all kinds of junk food every day.
She couldn't escape the dance class, and once she practiced Xi with the teacher once, she would no longer want to continueAnd the classes she was able to escape were either sleeping under the covers or playing games in the dormitory.
She was the laziest, yet the most striking and outstanding person, not only beautiful in appearance and superior in figure, but always able to easily take first place and leave second behind.
Chen Shu also said when he was attached to the North Dance Middle School:
Xiao Ran is a student at Beiwu High School like me, but she always stands at the front of the class, and I always stand in the last row. Every time I see her, I can't help but exclaim, how can there be such a beautiful girl?
When we were 14 years old, the little girl was at a very strange stage of physical development, some of which looked like she had grown into an adult, but still had a childlike face. But Xiao Ran has already shown a mesmerizing beauty, her eyelashes are thick, and she is also fair and moving.
At that time, many advertisers had already asked Li Xiaoran to shoot advertisements. Zhou Xun also said: "Li Xiaoran is the first time I have seen a female star who will shout wow, sigh that this girl is so beautiful." ”
In 1991, when director Zhang Yimou went to the middle school affiliated to Beijing Dance School to select the actors of "The Red Lantern Hangs High", he was immediately attracted by Li Xiaoran, who had a fair complexion, beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament. However, Li Xiaoran's mother was not at ease with her daughter's solo play, so she decisively rejected the proposal.
Despite her extreme aversion to dance, it can be said that dance contributed to her achievement to some extent.
At the age of 17, in 1993, when other classmates were struggling to find a receiving unit, she had already been admitted to the China Oriental Song and Dance Troupe that others couldn't get into despite their best efforts, and became a colleague with Chen Kun.
The China Oriental Song and Dance Troupe is a famous "golden signboard" in China's literary and artistic circles, which is known to almost everyone and no one knows. It is one of the famous national art troupes in China, formed by the merger of the former China Song and Dance Troupe and the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.
How difficult is the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe for the inductees?
At that time, there was a saying that was widely circulated among the people: "If you want to understand how good the temperament of Chinese dancers is, you must go to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe to watch a performance." ”
The admission requirements of the China Oriental Song and Dance Troupe are very strict, for example, the female troupe members must be at least 17 meters, the leg length must occupy 15 to 17 centimeters of the entire height, and the appearance and temperament must meet the standard, which is why there is such a limit.
However, she had no interest in this privileged job, which was considered hard to come by.
Her good friend Chen Kun resolutely gave up a promising and stable job in 1996, and he was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy with the first grade in his major.
She was deeply touched by this incident and realized that she didn't have to follow the route her parents had planned for her, as long as she had her own ideas, she could live a different life.
It didn't take long for her to quit her job behind her parents' back. Her life has been too smooth since she was a child, and she has not been made aware of the cruelty of society.
She plans to resign before she has tens of thousands of savings on hand. She thought that even if she stopped working, the money would be enough to support her for the rest of her life.
Despite her repeated calculations, she overlooked an important factor: the boyfriend who had nothing to do all day, was unmotivated, and needed to be supported by her. In less than 8 months, they squandered the money and ended up in poverty and almost kicked out of their homes by their landlords.
She is a leader in the dance academy, and although it is easy to find a dance-related job, she is stubbornly reluctant. Therefore, she was penniless and shameless to face her family, but she unexpectedly embarked on the road of acting.
Although she has excellent looks, beauties abound in the entertainment industry. Therefore, she had to send resumes door-to-door every day, and struggled to get a chance to play a role.
In 1997, she starred in the TV series "Lover's Bodyguard: Jade Baby", playing the maid of the heroine Ye Tong, with a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan. However, the money was not easy to come by, as she had no acting experience and was scolded every day in the crew.
She is glad that the 4,000 yuan allows her to see the people around her clearly, she works hard to make money every day, while her boyfriend spends extravagantly. Soon, the relationship between the two ended.
She soon experienced a turning point in her life after the breakup.
learned that his former colleague Li Xiaoran, the "pillar" of the troupe, also gave up dancing and chose the path of acting, but he felt very condescending and could only play a maid.
In 2000, under the introduction of Chen Kun, Li Xiaoran met the first noble person in her life - director Zhao Baogang.
At that time, director Zhao Baogang was preparing to shoot a ** love drama called "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind". The starring lineup has been basically determined, including Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, Lu Yi, Sun Honglei, Liao Fan and others, but the role of the dancer Anqi has not yet been determined.
Director Zhao Baogang has always been picky, and fell in love with the fresh and refined Li Xiaoran at first sight, and immediately signed her to his own company.
By playing the role of the dancer Angel, she finally ushered in the dawn of her acting career.
She has the support of director Zhao Baogang, as if she has boarded a famous ship, it is difficult not to be famous, and all kinds of resources are coming. In the same year, she also participated in the costume drama "Wandering the World".
She starred in "Palace Baby", "Love in the Sunshine" and "Rogue Doctor" in 2001.
She collaborated with Wu Jing and starred in the martial arts drama "Golden Silk Rain" in 2002.
After she became famous, she also met her next boyfriend. She doesn't care about the other party's family background when she is in love, but cares about whether the two have a common language.
She met a screenwriter in the crew.
The two of them hit it off and immediately fell in love, much to the annoyance of her boss, Zhao Baogang.
Director Zhao Baogang said that she loves to have fun and is also keen on love. Once in love, I was no longer interested in acting, so I chose to hide her.
In order to improve her performance level and not want her to be distracted to fall in love, the company arranged for her to play various types of roles in the film and television base, and also asked her to make thousands of movies.
Still, she wasn't pressured by the company. However, she never expected that while she was busy fighting against the company, her boyfriend cheated behind her back, and what she didn't expect was that she also caught him red-handed.
So, this love came to an end in a hurry.
Less than 3 years ago, she met Sun Donghai, a man who would add a lot of color to her life in the future. At that time, Sun Donghai had great success in the real estate industry.
In 2003, she played the role of Yang Xi, an international student, in the emotional drama "Farewell to Vancouver", which was a role tailor-made for her by director Zhao Baogang, and successfully achieved career success. Although he has encountered difficulties in love, he has made remarkable progress in his career.
In the same year, she also co-starred with Lu Liangwei and Wu Yue in the costume drama "Thorn Tiger", and co-starred with Guo Tao in the family ethics drama "Family Change".
She co-starred with Zhang Zhilin and Zhong Hanliang in the 2004 costume drama "Against the Cold".
In the following year, she starred in many acclaimed film and television works such as "The Great Purge", "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain", "Jin Maoxiang" and "Paris Fairy Tale".
In the entertainment industry, some people may not be able to stand out in their lifetime, but under the careful cultivation of director Zhao Baogang of Bole, she became a household name actor in only a few years.
She has good looks and strength, and the audience loves her, so she is likely to become a first-line actress soon. However, a first half of life that goes too well is not necessarily a good thing.
She said that she may have been overly protected as a child, resulting in her being an extremely innocent and innocent person. She used to be so simple that she only needed to have a meal with someone else, and she would foolishly think that the other person was a good person and worthy of trust.
Soon after, she will pay a terrible price for the ignorance of her youth, and not only will her career almost come to a standstill, but she will even nearly lose her life.
At the age of 29, when she was filming "A Fairy Tale in Paris" in 2005, she met Sun Donghai, a wealthy man 9 years older than her.
Sun was already a family at that time, but he was deeply fascinated by the young and beautiful Li Xiaoran and launched a passionate pursuit of her.
He not only gave her bags and jewelry, but also gave her a lot of film and television resources, caring for her parents, taking care of her, which can be described as extremely intimate, and striving for the hearts of beauties.
How could she, a curious lady, resist the pursuit of the "big guy"?It was quickly confused.
As a sign of his determination, he divorced his wife, but this was only the beginning of her nightmare.
With Sun's investment, she starred in many works such as "Ke Ke Xili", "Marriage for Love", "Harbin at Night", "Phoenix Wears Peony" and many other works, and her career has also reached its peak.
It didn't take long for her partner to display a strong desire for control and a violent personality. At the slightest dissatisfaction, he would not only speak ill of her, but also treat her parents rudely.
After seeing the true face of the other party, she proposed to break up, but was punched, kicked and threatened by the other party.
He put scissors in her face and claimed, "I'm even divorced for your sake." If you dare to leave me, I will destroy you. ”
She realized that she couldn't escape from the predicament by relying on her own ability, so she had to rely on the former Bole - director Zhao Baogang, who had a prominent position in the Beijing circle, hoping that he could provide some opportunities for filming in other places so that she could barely survive.
After three years of waiting, she finally ushered in a good news: the other party finally found a new partner and fell in love with actress Yin Tao. The wait was not easy.
What she never expected was that the other party already had a new love, but he still refused to let her go, harassing her, listening to her mobile phone, and even being followed.
Someone asked Li Xiaoran: "If you go back in time, what would she want to do?"”
Without hesitation, she replied that even if the terrible man knelt down and pleaded, I would never pay attention to him, and I would go back to that year and stay away from him.
"If you want to get to know someone, it takes at least half a year to a year," she said. Experience teaches. Even if it's a friend, I don't trust anyone easily. ”
Even though the other party has a new girlfriend, she still lives in fear, changes her ** number every month, and is worried that her friends will be implicated, so she has cut off contact with all her friends.
After a few years of uneasiness and fear, she thought she had let go of the relationship between the two and carefully started a new life.
She got acquainted with Mei Ting's ex-husband and young director Yan Po in 2008 because she starred in the TV series "Yin Dan Shilin", and Yan Po felt very distressed about what happened to her.
The scars in her heart were healed by Yan Po's gentleness and thoughtfulness, so the two came together naturally.
Their love is very low-key, rarely going out to dinner or watching movies together, and almost no one can guess that they are in love.
In 2010, she brought her career back to the top with the role of Yin Jingwan in the TV series "Too Late to Say I Love You".
However, just when she thought everything was going well again, a sudden tragedy hit her fatally.
In the same year in June, Yan Po was attacked by four knife-wielding men in the underground parking lot of a shopping mall, and was stabbed more than 20 times.
Her experience in the past few years has also been made public because of this.
In a fit of rage, she posted 4 messages on social platforms, exposing Sun's 4-year-long mental torture and asking for help, hoping to bring the real culprit to justice as soon as possible.
She added: "This stone has actually been weighing on our hearts for two and a half years. For two years, we have been threatened in this way, and we always feel that one day this will happen. ”
I was terrified that my privacy, including all my phone calls and text messages with my friends, would be accessed without permission.
The incident was a sensation and a household name.
She gave up all her work and cared for him wholeheartedly, not leaving the bedside.
She was mentally prepared, as was the case.
She said she would be willing to marry him even if he was disabled. Fortunately, under her careful care, his condition gradually improved.
The two cherish each other even more after experiencing the test of life and death. They are no longer low-key, but love passionately and sweetly, which is enviable.
At the new film press conference in 2013, she stroked her pregnant belly, indicating that her "angel" had come, and announced the news of her pregnancy in public, in the urban drama "Angel Comes Tonight".
She happily answered reporters' inquiries about when they planned to get married, saying: "I think it's the end of the year." ”
A few months later, her beloved "Angel" said goodbye silently, and this was already the second time she had lost her child.
They announced their breakup in 2014, ending their relationship that lasted 6 years in a very peaceful way.
She married her friend of 17 years and gold medal producer Xu Jianing in June 2014, when she was 39 years old.
At Xu Jianing's marriage proposal ceremony, he knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Will you marry me?"I'll give you 500 million at will. ”
The two met because they played a couple in the 1997 TV series "The Case of Double Phoenix", which is worth mentioning.
However, Xu Jianing then transformed from the entertainment industry to the background, established his own film and television company and served as the boss, and also served as a producer and other multiple roles.
When I was young, it was Li Xiaoran and Xu Jianing.
They had a grand wedding in Belgium on August 8, 2015.
For 16 years, the person who once held her in the palm of his hand turned out to be by her side all along.
Xu Jianing deeply understands how much pain his wife Li Xiaoran has endured on the road of life, and he soothes her deeply wounded heart by giving love and warmth.
Why does Li Xiaoran have good looks and acting skills, but he has not achieved greater success?This question is often raised.
Director Zhao Baogang once profoundly pointed out:
Xiao Ran doesn't have that kind of hard work, and he doesn't have the gene to fight for the first. If she could change her personality, she would definitely be more successful than she is now, and she will be 10 times more popular.
Li Xiaoran frankly admits that he does not have too strong a sense of professionalism: "Life is not only about work and acting, but also about other important aspects. ”
She now devotes more time and energy to her family, and only takes on a few films a year, but although there are not many works, she continues to produce high-quality works.
In 2014, she was successfully nominated for the Magnolia Award for Best Actress at the 20th Shanghai TV Festival for her role as Gu Xiaojun in "Big Husband".
She partnered with powerful actors Chen Baoguo , Zhu Yawen and other actors, and starred in many film and television dramas such as "Children of the River", "Sisters and Brothers", and "Fierce War" in the same year.
From 2015 to 2016, she starred in film and television works such as "The Chaser", "My Wife is a Post-80s", "Hey, Child", "Sparrow" and "Next Stop, Farewell".
In 2017, she participated in the performances of "Good Life", "Autumn Cicada" and "Mr. Moon Lady".
In 2019, she starred in three film and television works: "In the Name of the Law", "Time and Space Call" and "Celebrating More Than Years".
She participated in "Glory and Dreams", "Lin Shen Sees the Deer" and "Three-Body Problem", all in 2021. And in 2022, she will work with Zhong Hanliang and Li Naiwen again, co-starring in "With You in This Life" and "Our Days".
You are an important character in my life, and the stills record the moment when we reunited.
An irresponsible partner that takes a lifetime to make amends. And a competent life partner can bring healing to the whole life.
It took her a lot of twists and turns to realize this truth: the appearance of some people is like a precious life lesson for us.
He didn't use too many sweet words, but firmly engraved the warmth in her heart through practical actions.
He would remember his wife's favorite fruits and meals, and the small garden at home would be filled with her beloved flowers.
No matter how late it was over, he would always drive her home. In addition, he will provide her with a 100% sense of security and the phone will not be turned off 24 hours so that she can reach him at any time.
She once participated in a sea variety show, and because the signal at sea may be unstable, ordinary ** may not be able to receive the signal.
In order to worry that his wife would not be able to find him, he silently prepared a maritime ** for her.
After she was with him, the sadness and melancholy in her eyes had disappeared without a trace, replaced by warmth and brightness.
I'm glad I found the right person to marry.
Once upon a time, she was a complete "homebody", either nesting at home playing games or burying her head in reading all day.
After they got married, he took her on a tour of Iceland to see the Northern Lights togetherGo to Spain to watch the game, go shopping in Milan, and go to Sanya to soak in the sea breeze ......
Compared with her previous passionate love experience, married life seems bland and ordinary.
However, her dream life is to spend days and nights with another person in one room, enjoying three meals and four seasons.
She had to mature early because she had suffered too much, but now she was spoiled like a child by him.
On the journey of love, everyone will meet some exes who are not ideal.
It's not scary to fall in love with the wrong object, it's scary to choose to accept the wrong thing even though you know it's wrong.
Before we can find a lover, we must first learn to love ourselves. It is only when we know how to love ourselves that we will be able to discern what is similar to love but not really love.
Only when we learn to love ourselves can we never treat ourselves badly until we meet the right person;And after meeting the right person, you can be yourself better.
I hope that everyone can meet someone who truly understands themselves and loves them deeply.
