Many netizens commented that Xia Yu and Zhang Yishan look "identical".
However, despite the fact that both are filming in the entertainment industry, they have chosen very different paths.
Zhang Yishan's reputation is growing day by day, while Xia Yu is full of tricks outside of filming.
Even if he was an unknown person in the past, now Yuan Quan has begun to surpass him in the entertainment industry.
Xia Yu can be called the person with the highest starting point in the entertainment industry.
Jiang Wen began casting for his film "Sunny Day" in 1993, hoping to find a little boy who looked similar to his childhood to play his younger self.
17-year-old Xia Yu, that summer, his father saw Jiang Wen's news of recruiting actors in the newspaper, so he immediately sent his son's ** to the crew.
Xia Yu didn't know what his father had done behind his back at that time, and he didn't know until he received the interview notice.
was dragged to the crew for an interview by his father, and before he could react, he was confused to find that there were several other actors participating in the interview. A closer look reveals that these actors are more or less similar to Jiang Wen.
Some people look like Jiang Wen, and their eyes, noses, and facial contours are similar to Jiang Wen.
Therefore, even Jiang Wen himself is in the dilemma of choosing who will play this role.
Jiang Wen accepted the suggestion of others and asked his mother to come over, but it was really difficult for him to make a decision, and he finally invited his mother to the crew.
Jiang Ma did not hesitate to point to the few actors standing in front of her and shouted: "This child is quite like Xia Yu when he was a child, he is as thin as a hemp pole, and his complexion is also dark." ”
Xia Yu started his career as an actor in this way, and perhaps he himself has not clearly realized why he insists on becoming an actor all the time.
Jiang Wen chose an inexperienced newcomer to play the male lead, which was questioned, and many people were not optimistic about it at the time.
However, Xia Yu didn't pay attention to their opinions, and just concentrated on doing his own thing.
It was winter when the show was filmed, but the plot needed to show summer scenes.
Xia Yu especially needed to dive in the weather of minus a few degrees, he didn't expect the cold to be so biting, but he still insisted on completing the scene.
When the actor is filming in winter, due to the low temperature, he exhales white air when he speaks, which will adversely affect the filming.
So, they came up with a solution: before each shoot, all the actors had to eat a popsicle. As you can imagine, there are many difficulties.
Jiang Wen's film surprised everyone, and it received continuous praise as soon as it was released, becoming a classic that was all the rage at the time.
Xia Yu became popular for this role when he was only 18 years old, and won three "actor" trophies one after another for this role.
When Jiang Wen took a photo with Xia Yu with the trophy, after this ** was uploaded to the Internet, many viewers expressed their fascination and commented:
At a certain point in time, it seems that Jiang Wen from different eras has met.
Xia Yu, who made his debut at the age of 18, surpassed the stage of other peers and quickly became a high-profile actor.
The success of this movie is inseparable from Xia Yu, and Xia Yu has also achieved great success because of this film.
Xia Yu and Yuan Quan formed an indissoluble bond at the ** Drama Academy.
Director Jiang Wen saw that Xia Yu's talent in this area was so high, so he decided to let him develop well on the road of acting.
At a dinner, director Jiang Wen proposed to Xia Yu to apply for the film academy and study systematically, so that there would be a broader space for development after graduation.
Xia Yu was interested in director Jiang Wen's suggestion, but he had not decided which film school to apply to.
By chance, Xia Yu saw Tao Hong, who was in the same crew, taking the Chinese opera exam. He completely followed the trend of the actor industry, and he also applied for this school and was really admitted.
Yuan Quan was one year lower than him, and he was successfully admitted to the ** Drama Academy and became Xia Yu's younger sister. However, at that time, the two did not intersect.
Xia Yu later revealed in an interview that the two met for the first time on the school playground.
Xia Yu had just finished playing ball, holding a basketball in his hand, and Yuan Quan had just finished taking a shower, holding a basin in his hand, looking like he was going to cross the playground and go back to the dormitory.
The two met in this situation, and it was this glimpse that made Xia Yu identify this person, maybe this is the so-called love at first sight!
The law in college, especially the relationship between seniors and sisters, has not escaped.
The senior is the younger sister's, and the senior sister is the younger brother's.
At that time, Xia Yu stood out among many outstanding people with his talent and became an outstanding student in everyone's minds. Even before graduating, he won many awards.
Compared with other outstanding actors, Yuan Quan is not at the top of the rankings.
After Xia Yu graduated, he began to be more active in the entertainment industry, and more and more directors were invited to participate in filming.
When Yuan Quan graduated, the director of the ** Experimental Theater became interested in Qin Hailu, Zhang Ziyi and Yuan Quan in the same class at the same time.
Yuan Quan is the only one of the three who chooses drama, and she has been actively participating in drama performances.
However, during a performance of "The Orphan of Zhao", an accident occurred, causing Yuan Quan to fall off the stage, causing a comminuted fracture of her collarbone, and she subsequently underwent surgery on six steel nails and one steel bar**.
After learning that his girlfriend was injured, Xia Yu immediately put down the script in his hand and rushed to the hospital in a hurry. Yuan Quan saw Xia Yu wearing pajamas and slippers, and the whole person looked a little haggard.
For the first time, Yuan Quan saw Xia Yu dressed like this, and even forgot about the pain in his body, and laughed directly.
Xia Yu took care of Yuan Quan during her time in the hospital** until she was discharged.
Yuan Quan reappeared on the stage, and Xia Yu resumed his work of filming, during which the two also co-starred in the movie "Waiting Alone".
Although Yuan Quan only played a short role in the film, the audience was still able to enjoy the sweetness of their real couple, satisfying the audience's pursuit of CP.
Subsequently, they launched an in-depth cooperation, playing a couple in the movie "Shanghai Barron".
Xia Yu often runs between filming and publicity, which has led to many scandals about him on the Internet, and there are even rumors that he and Gao Yuanyuan were photographed spending one night together in a hotel.
When Xia Yu was asked about his relationship with Gao Yuanyuan in the face of online rumors and interviews, he simply said not to bother Yuan Quan.
Yuan Quan also cried silently after that, and did not answer the question directly, but everyone has begun to speculate that the two of them may have broken up.
In a later interview, Yuan Quan's recollections are as follows.
Love is both beautiful and cruel, and the two announced their breakup in their seventh year together.
Many netizens also lamented that the two finally failed to get through the seven-year itch together.
However, less than a year after this incident happened, the two were photographed intimately, and with these **, the Internet began to speculate about whether they had gotten back together.
After all, it is very common for young couples to divide and merge.
After the 16th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Awards, the two stood in front of countless ** cameras, confirmed the speculation of netizens, and announced their reunion.
Xia Yu is 31 years old, while Yuan Quan is 30 years old, this year.
They officially announced their marriage through the Internet in 2009, and after 10 years of love, they finally entered the palace of marriage.
The couple did not hold a lavish wedding or a cumbersome process, just had a simple meal at both parties' homes, and then took wedding photos at their alma mater, where they loved each other.
Their daughter, Haha, was born the year after they got married.
Just when everyone thought that Xia Yu would continue to develop in the entertainment industry and move towards the international market, he unexpectedly reduced the number of times he accepted the script.
Xia Yu believes that choosing an excellent script is one thing, and another more important reason is that he regards acting as a side hustle, and his real main business is to enjoy life.
As a result, one work can be released basically every year after the summer rains, and the rest of the time it disappears.
Even in 2017, Xia Yu directly withdrew from the showbiz for a year, and there was no news about him on the Internet.
Netizens were very annoyed by Xia Yu's attitude of "not doing business", but Yuan Quan's popularity is getting higher and higher, so much so that he has surpassed Xia Yu in the entertainment industry.
However, what everyone may not have expected is that Xia Yu actually found another career during this period of time, showed his strength in another industry, and achieved the same remarkable achievements as he did in the entertainment industry.
He has been fascinated by skateboarding since he was 16 years old, and after years of hard work, he has become a skilled skateboarder.
Sometimes I take my skateboard to the crew to film, and I often take it out to skate in my spare time.
He remained involved in the sport for 20 years and became a "connoisseur" in the skateboarding world, eventually winning the skateboarding championship.
Today, he is not only a referee for national skateboarding competitions, but also an ambassador for extreme sports in China.
He is still proficient in skateboarding and can even do some fancy moves, and many people have left comments on his Weibo.
Uncle Xia Yu, when do you plan to release skateboarding teaching**?
In addition to this, he is also an avid snowboarder. He only started playing the sport in 2003, but it took only three years to win the Swiss Tieli Cup Snowboard Amateur Competition.
Xia Yu believes that the championship is not important, what is more important to him is the whole process. He even felt that this time was more meaningful than filming.
Every experience is unique, and every achievement brings happiness in the moment.
Subsequently, he was invited to be a special commentator on the sports channel of ** TV and was responsible for the snowboarding competition at the Sochi Winter Olympics.
Prior to this, because snowboard slalom was not included in the Winter Olympics, China did not train professional project commentators.
Xia Yu's "temporary rescue" only happened, and he surprised the audience with his accurate wording and professional skills throughout the commentary. This made people not expect that the actor was so good in other fields.
To this day, his quote is still deeply imprinted in people's minds:
Wow, it's so much like a spinning top!It's really a combination of people and boards!To reach the highest level is to unite people and boards!
I've spun around so much that I've almost spun myself out of the water!
This time it really makes people wring out the water!!
At the same time, he is also studying and learning magic, and often shows his learning results on social platforms to share with netizens.
It's no exaggeration that Xia Yu is almost certain to eventually become a professional in the field as long as he is determined to learn something.
Xia Yu is really like what he said, he is enjoying life, whether it is painting, calligraphy, racing, or even skydiving, surfing, and flying airplanes, it is a way for him to enjoy life, and being an actor is just a job option he uses to support his family.
Therefore, many people refer to him as "Xia Yu 36 Techniques".
Nowadays, many people ridicule Xia Yu for losing inspiration in filming, saying that his current works are not as good as his wife Yuan Quan.
Xia Yu just smiled lightly at such words, and even cheered his wife up.
There were even several times when people mistakenly took him for Zhang Yishan, but he didn't care about it.
His current situation is that as long as he meets a role he likes, he will take over the filming, and then either move to another industry, or stay at home with his daughter.
In his words, filming is only a small part of life, and what makes people even happier is to experience various life paths.
