In today's entertainment industry, you must not only look at your acting skills, but also look at your appearance, and if you have a high appearance, you will be half the success.
But when it comes to actors in the entertainment industry who are not good-looking, but have superb acting skills, the first thing that comes to mind is Huang Bo, Huang Bo's appearance is often "complained", but I don't know that people's highly recognizable face has become a box office guarantee.
But what I want to tell you today is that an actor who doesn't look much better than Huang Bo is Ju Xingmao.
Speaking of his name, many people may not know it, but when you see his **, you can remember it instantly.
In the TV series "Iron Pear Flower", he is the dice who accompanies Iron Pear Flower on the treacherous rivers and lakes.
Because his appearance is not high, so since his debut, he has played small supporting roles, but in his heart, there has never been a small role.
Director Guo Jingyu once said that his level has long been at the level of an actor, but you can imagine how good his acting skills are.
So how did he use 24 years to counterattack and become a billionaire director? It all started when he was born.
Early life experience
Ju Xingmao, born on June 26, 1981 in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, when he was 9 years old, he was selected by director Li Shaohong to star in his screen ** work "Bloody Morning", so he started his acting career.
Born in the countryside since childhood, his family is poor, and even the tuition fees for junior high school are borrowed, let alone go to college, after graduating from junior high school, he chose to drop out of school, so he came to Beijing alone to develop, due to the poverty of the family, he was embarrassed to ask his family for money.
When he was in Beijing, because he had no money, he often slept on the streets, drank water to satisfy his hunger when he was hungry, and because his appearance was not high, no one asked him to film for a long time, but even so, he still never gave up his dream of being an actor.
Life-changing
He is short and mediocre in appearance, but he was taken by the well-known director Guo Jingyu, he is very optimistic about Ju Xingmao, as long as he films, he will definitely invite Ju Xingmao to act, and Ju Xingmao is also very grateful to him, Ju Xingmao once said that if there was no Guo Jingyu's support, there would be no Ju Xingmao today.
After that, he starred in a number of TV series directed by Guo Jingyu, and since he starred in the dice of "Iron Pear Flower", he began to appear in the public eye.
When filming with Guo Jingyu, Ju Xingmao learned a lot of things, he was very smart, so Guo Jingyu was also willing to teach him.
Counterattack life
When he saw Guo Jingyu directing his works, he suddenly had a bigger dream, he wanted to be a director himself. When he told Guo Jingyu about this idea, Guo Jingyu not only did not make fun of him, but also told him that he would learn from him in the future.
In this way, he started to learn little by little, and slowly, he went from directing with Guo Jingyu to now directing independently alone. I have to say that Ju Xingmao has the talent to be a director.
In 2014, he was nominated for the Magnolia Award for Best Director for the anti-Japanese legendary drama "Dog Stick" directed independently.
In 2018, the director's "Soul Ferry: Yellow Springs" was launched on iQiyi, breaking the box office record of the Internet. In October of the same year, he was awarded the first "Top Ten Young TV Drama Directors in China on the Chuxin List" award.
Ju Xingmao has spent 24 years, from a small supporting role to today's hundreds of millions of directors, and he is so successful in his career, and it is also smooth sailing emotionally. His wife is also an insider, very beautiful, and his wife does not dislike his looks, but takes a fancy to his talent.
Today, he marries a wife and drives a luxury car, lives a very happy life, and has become a winner in life.
