In 2021, the tribute drama "Awakening Age" will be broadcast on TV, which has brought many actors in the play to a new level in their careers, and the actor Bi Yanjun, who plays "Gu Hongming", has once again become the focus of attention of the audience.
Bi Yanjun once played the "Second Master of the Bai Family" in "The Gate of the Mansion" and "Yang Xiu" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but one of his high-profile identities is Chen Xiaoxu's ex-husband.
Bi Yanjun was admitted to the Anshan Repertory Theatre in 1972 and embarked on a career path as a drama actor when he was 17 years old.
Seven years later, 24-year-old Bi Yanjun met Chen Xiaoxu, who had just arrived here, at the Anshan Repertory Theatre.
However, Chen Xiaoxu is just a 14-year-old girl at the moment, she is shy and quiet, always hiding in the corner and holding a book.
She didn't seem to be an earthly person, as she wrote in the poem "I Am a Catkins".
Bi Yanjun was deeply attracted by this girl.
Bi Yanjun has a stable personality, hearty and cheerful, and is a bright color in the crowd. is completely different from Chen Xiaoxu, he always takes the trouble to share his passion, especially caring for the withdrawn Chen Xiaoxu.
In such intimate days, time slipped away quietly.
The elders anxiously persuaded Bi Yanjun: "Why don't you find a girlfriend?" There are a lot of excellent lesbians in our group, don't you look down on any of them? ”
As the elders of the repertory troupe, they are worried that Bi Yanjun has become an "older leftover man".
He kept replying, "The girl I love is underage." ”
Until the girl he loves finally comes of age, it is time for "Dream of Red Mansions" to be cast across the country.
He longs to be able to pave the way to a better future for the girl he loves.
In 1983, Bi Yanjun conveyed the news of the selection to 18-year-old Chen Xiaoxu, and encouraged her to recommend herself to participate in "Dream of Red Mansions" with the "radical method".
In the end, Chen Xiaoxu successfully won the opportunity to play "Lin Daiyu".
The actors of "Dream of Red Mansions" needed to undergo four years of closed training and filming back then, and Chen Xiaoxu was no exception.
However, just when she was about to leave the Anshan Repertory Theatre, she and Bi Yanjun confirmed their relationship.
During the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions", Bi Yanjun and Chen Xiaoxu maintained correspondence, and their "love period" was spent in the process of delivering letters one by one.
During that time, Bi Yanjun was admitted to the advanced class of Shanghai Theater Academy, and also starred in his first film and television work "Zhifeng War", and officially stepped into the showbiz.
In 1987, CCTV broadcast "Dream of Red Mansions", which became one of the most classic works in the history of Chinese film and television, and "Lin Daiyu" played by Chen Xiaoxu has also become a "fairy sister" that generations will never forget.
Chen Xiaoxu was once beautiful after "Dream of Red Mansions", but she chose to marry Bi Yanjun.
The story looks flawless, but in the end it ends in tragedy because of a temper disagreement.
Bi Yanjun and Chen Xiaoxu's marriage was very short, like two straight lines meeting, and after a short intersection, they embarked on different life paths ......
After the divorce, Chen Xiaoxu re-established a family with another man, but it was clear that she did not get the love she was expecting, so she struggled to find a way to escape.
She became a monk in 2007, but died of cancer in the same year.
Before the tears were dry, they returned to heaven. Lin Daiyu is like this, and so is Chen Xiaoxu.
After divorcing Chen Xiaoxu, Bi Yanjun rediscovered love and eventually established a complete family.
Unlike Chen Xiaoxu, who has been shrouded in the shadow of a character all his life, Bi Yanjun did not have the opportunity to create such a "dazzling" character.
Even compared with the "big names" among the older generation of artists, his acting career can be called bland. It is worth noting that the fates of these two actors are very different.
Perhaps more well-known include "Yang Xiu" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Bai Yingxuan" in "Mansion Gate", "Luo Longji" in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", and "Zhao Yuchu" in "Silly Spring".
With the launch of the TV series "The End of Awakening", the 66-year-old Bi Yanjun once again regained the attention of the audience with the role of "Gu Hongming" and won a large number of young fans. 2021 became a new year for him.
Bi Yanjun himself did not take any position on this.
Many years ago, he said, "I went from Anshan to Beijing without feeling frustrated or troubled by getting a role or not being able to play a role. ”
He thinks that being an actor is just an ordinary profession, and if a play finds him, he thinks he can act it, and it doesn't matter if he can't act, he doesn't exaggerate the significance of the profession of "actor".
He has been in the industry for thirty-eight years and has never thought about fame. He has always lived a low-key life, without agents and bodyguards, and chooses to take the bus and subway when he goes out.
He felt very grateful that there was always drama finding him, and that was enough.
Today, Bi Yanjun is still active on the screen and lives a plain and happy life.
Maybe Chen Xiaoxu's state of mind is very different from such a state of mind.
