There are many new faces in this play, but there are also old faces familiar to the audience. Xu Di, who plays "Rain Mom", is one of them.
Xu Di has appeared in many excellent film and television works. She is Lin Xia's mother in a love story in Beijing.
Gu Ma in The Three Gangs of Heroes and Xue, the mother of Luo Zijun in The First Half of Life.
Xu Di has played many roles as a mother, and she is also an excellent opera singer.
She is a low-key person and rarely appears in front of the camera except filming, so everyone has different views on her love life.
Some people say that her husband is Taiwan Province actor Li Youlin, while others say that her husband is actor Yang Lixin.
But in fact, Xu Di has nothing to do with these two actors. Her real husband is her first love at the age of 17.
Xu Di was born in Beijing on 1958. She is the oldest in the family. She has two sisters and a brother.
When I was a child, what Xu Di looked forward to most was the Spring Festival. Besides eating a lot of good things that you can't usually eat,
Because she is the oldest child, her parents make her new clothes every year.
Her brothers and sisters can only wear the rest of her clothes.
Xu Di's family lives in the dormitory of her mother's unit. All the neighbors know each other and have a very good relationship.
Whoever cooks and eats will give it to each other, so she grew up eating hundreds of meals sent by her neighbors.
1975, the teacher of Beijing Opera Troupe came to Xu Di School to select candidates.
The students of the school propaganda team enthusiastically signed up and competed to show themselves in front of the teacher.
At this time, 17-year-old Xu Di was only in the first grade of high school, and all she could think about was studying.
I don't even know where the recruiting teacher is from, so naturally I don't plan to go.
A teacher of the school propaganda team saw it and encouraged her to try it.
Xu Di can't do anything, but he still can't beat the teacher's repeated persuasion.
I also thought that if I didn't participate, the only way out before me was to jump the queue in the countryside.
So, Xu Di decided to take part in the visual inspection.
When she arrived at the scene, the teacher asked her to read the clip. Xu Di told the popular story of the struggle between Confucianism and France at that time.
She answered the teacher honestly, and a few days later, she actually received the notice of the first test.
At that time, only three people in the school could take part in the preliminary examination, and the other two sang very well. She couldn't sing at all.
So Xu Di recited a passage in front of the teacher.
Later, the teacher asked them to dance, and she did a broadcast gymnastics.
Maybe I heard her lines from the recitation, or maybe it was because she was beautiful.
In the end, Xu Di, who knew nothing about traditional Chinese opera, successfully passed all the exams and entered the student class of Beijing Opera Troupe.
Chinese operas are all childlike stunts and need to be practiced from an early age.
But Xu Di became a monk halfway, and training in the troupe every day was a kind of torture for her.
After experiencing leg press for the first time in her life, she was miserable every day, watching others lift her legs easily.
Xu Di felt ashamed and unwilling.
Besides her figure, she is not good at singing.
At six o'clock every morning, they get up and run in the morning, and then they begin to practice their voices.
The vocal music teacher only gives everyone guidance for half an hour, but this is Xu Di's first contact with drama.
She can't practice for half an hour at all, so she can only continue to practice after the teacher leaves.
She sat in front of the piano that the teacher taught her to use. Because she had never seen a piano before,
Xu Di can only clumsily imitate the teacher and practice his voice by pressing keys.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't keep up with the accumulation of others' practice for several years because of her poor congenital conditions.
Once, the student class was going to rehearse an opera performance, and the teacher planned to let Xu Di play one of the roles.
Xu Di's image conditions are very suitable, but the treble can't go up and the bass can't come down.
In desperation, the teacher had to replace her with another girl.
This incident was a great blow to Xu Di, and since then, she has worked harder.
The teacher saw her efforts, but the natural conditions in Xu Di could not be changed overnight.
So, at the teacher's suggestion, Xu Di changed to contralto and played the role of an old lady.
Soon, Xu Di found a suitable position, made rapid progress, and gradually became the best in his class.
It was in the student class that she met her first love, Yu Jianwei.
In fact, their first meeting was not pleasant.
At that time, Yu Jianwei was the monitor of Quju students' class, and Xu Di was his classmate.
Once, the classmates were having dinner and chatting together, and Yu Jianwei suddenly said something like "fuck".
When Xu Di heard this sentence, he thought Yu Jianwei was cursing.
Xu Di Beijing girl's provocative and impulse broke out in an instant. She stood up on striking table and shouted at the monitor:
"Who are you talking about? Swearing? ! "
Xu Di's sudden anger startled Yu Jianwei, who was completely unfamiliar with Xu Di.
After returning home, Yu Jianwei said to his brother:
"There is a girl in our class who is too much. I can't find such a wife in the future. "
As a result, who knows that the two are "strangers" and the relationship is getting better and better.
In Seeds of Love, 17-year-old Xu Di and 18-year-old Yu Jianwei talk about love.
At that time, students in the opera class were not allowed to fall in love. If the leader finds out, he will ask his parents to come and talk.
But this express rule did not stop them from falling in love, and they secretly started an underground love affair.
1978, students are directly assigned to work in Beijing Quju Opera Troupe after graduation.
Xu Di felt that Yu Jianwei was firm and safe, and he felt very safe with him.
Yu Jianwei thinks that Xu Di is optimistic, cheerful, intelligent and diligent.
Three years after graduation, the two entered the marriage hall hand in hand.
Soon after, their son Yu Zibo was born.
Perhaps the underground love affair lasted too long, and the married couple kept a very low profile.
Even if you go to the street hand in hand, you are embarrassed to meet acquaintances.
So people around you occasionally forget that they are husband and wife.
Xu Di continued to devote himself to the further study of Peking Opera. Fortunately, she was attracted by Mr Wei Xikui, one of the founders of Beijing Opera.
She was specially asked to play Chinese cabbage in Yang Naiwu and Chinese Cabbage.
Xu Di was overjoyed, but when she went to practice with the band, the band interrupted her impatiently without saying a few words:
"Line line, you can't sing, go home and practice! This can't be combined! "
So, Xu Di was kicked out by the band in front of everyone.
In front of so many people, Xu Di didn't cry, but left their sight with a smile.
But when she got home, she couldn't hold back her inner grievances and kept crying.
Cry to cry, Xu Di still don't want to give up this precious opportunity,
She listened to Mr. Wei's Chinese Cabbage again and again at home, imitating Mr. Wei's singing.
When Mr Wei Xikui heard that she was driven back by the band, he didn't say anything.
Call Xu Di directly to her house, and teach her to sing opera sentence by sentence, one action at a time.
Sometimes after practicing for a long time, Mr. Wei will leave for dinner directly.
Thanks to teacher Wei's teaching and his own efforts, Xu Di really finished Yang Naiwu and Chinese cabbage in a very short time.
Finally, I successfully stood on the stage and performed for the audience. This is the first stage of Xu Di.
After watching the performance, Mr. Wei also spoke highly of Xu Di with others:
"You go to see Xu Di, which was really meaningful when I was young."
Miss Wei never praises others to her face, but when she is with her, she always criticizes Xu Di.
Therefore, Xu Di didn't hear this compliment, and she didn't know Mr. Wei's recognition and praise for her.
It was during this period that Xu Di's first performance opportunity came.
That day, Xu Di met a man when he went to the reception office to get a newspaper.
The man looked at her a few times and asked doubtfully, "Are you from this group?"
"Yes, who are you?"
The man didn't answer her question, just looked at her and smiled.
Or next to the person on duty is a message to see not bottom go to, take the initiative to tell her:
"He is white soup."
It turns out that this person is director Bai Tang, whose real name is Tianwen Liu.
Xu Di suddenly remembered that the TV series "Stubbornness" she was watching recently was directed by Bai Tang.
Bai Tang waved at her: "Can you come out and talk to me?"
"Yes!" Xu Di met the director and walked out of the reception room in high spirits.
Bai Tang cut to the chase: "Can you go out to shoot with me?"
Xu Di was happier: "Yes, we can all!"
Then, Xu Di introduced him to many people in his group, saying that they were all fine and there was absolutely no problem shooting.
As a result, Bai Tang said, "I just want you to accompany me to film."
At that time, Xu Di was performing "Yang Naiwu and Chinese Cabbage" at Xidan Theatre, and she attached great importance to this hard-won opportunity.
I didn't know whether to refuse Bai Tang, so I didn't reply.
Bai Tang saw her for a long time not to talk, but her heart sank. He picked up the newspaper and said to Xu Di:
"I found you how so not active? Now TV is becoming more and more popular,
Even if it is performed every day, Xidan Theater is packed, only 1000 people come to see it.
Even if my TV series is not popular, at least 10 thousand people watch it one night?
I'm going to shoot. Come with me. "
Xu Di thought for a moment, thought what he said was reasonable, and decided to follow Bai Tang to film.
So, because of the film "He Has No Raincoat", Xu Di entered the film and television circle.
Later, she starred in the Franco-Prussian TV series "The Lens Reaches into the Courtyard", in which she played Qiao Jun. ..
Although Xu Di started making movies as an actress, she still spent most of her time on opera.
1988 also won the outstanding performance award of the first youth opera performance.
One day after a long time, Xu Di was practicing singing as usual.
Mr. Wei suddenly came and took her hand and said to her:
"I have confiscated my apprentice, but I want to accept you."
Mr Wei's words frightened Xu Di. She didn't know that she had to be her apprentice.
At that time, I couldn't even speak well, so I could only stutter and nod.
So, on June 4th,1990,65438+Xu Di officially accepted Mr. Wei Xikui as the teacher.
He became Mr Wei Xikui's first and last apprentice.
After that, Xu Di still paid attention to drama and performance, and became a famous opera singer.
On the other hand, she plays a supporting role in various TV dramas, including Mrs. Gan in the CCTV version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The big shop in "The Woman Who Walks the Man River", Li Fen in "Every Classic" and so on.
When I was studying Chinese opera in the students' class, I acted as a teacher to help them with their lines.
Perhaps because of the blessing at that time, Xu Di was very good at acting.
Although she is not from an ordinary class, her acting skills are well received by many people.
1997, 39-year-old Xu Di won the "Plum Blossom Award" in the 14th Chinese Drama Award.
This is the highest award for the performing arts of China's drama, and Xu Di is the first Peking Opera actor to win this award.
Xu Di's efforts over the years, from his ignorance of traditional Chinese opera to winning the plum blossom award, have finally proved to be the best.
Xu Di worked in Beijing Opera Troupe until she retired in 2008.
Although during this period, Xu Di also appeared in many TV series, but her shooting scenes were not many, and her time was not free.
Because she has to cooperate with the singing time in the group, she can only take time to film when there is no work in the group.
After retiring from the Opera Troupe, Xu Di finally had a lot of free time, and she began to put more energy into the performance.
In her view, performance is another unique art completely different from opera, and she also likes performance very much.
Since 2008, Xu Di has become more and more famous as an actor.
She plays Eiko's mother in You Are My Brother and Cui Hua's mother in My Father and Mother.
Later, she also played the role of mother in many film and television works, such as Three Heroes, Little Husband, Lonely, and so on.
Xu Di also won the title of "mother specialist" because she vividly showed many mothers with different personalities.
Xu Di traveled around for filming, and her husband Yu Jianwei accompanied her every time.
After retirement, Yu Jianwei, who lost her job, even willingly became her assistant to support her wife's performance.
Follow Xu Di to all major theaters and performance sites, and take care of everything for her.
20 17, played the heroine's mother Xue again in the TV series "My First Half Life".
But this mother is a little different. She is a Shanghai woman who loves beauty.
Every time I go out, I step on high heels and wear bright lipstick. Even at the age of 60, I still want to meet her the only thrill.
When I first saw the script, Xu Di hated the role.
But she can't dislike playing her. In order to play this role well, Xu Di suffered a lot.
Xue is a native of Shanghai, not to mention Shanghai. She's not even from the south.
She arrived in Shanghai the night before and was going to shoot her play early the next morning.
Knowing nothing about Shanghai dialect, she was asked by the director to speak Shanghai dialect.
No one taught her, so Xu Di had to bite the bullet and imitate the Shanghainese in her memory.
After the play ended, Xu Di was afraid to watch it a second time.
She didn't know that the TV series became popular on the Internet soon after it was launched. Xue, who she played, made people love and hate each other.
He left a deep impression on the audience, and Xu Di's superb acting skills were well received by the industry.
2065438+In June 2008, Xu Di and the cast of My First Half Life were invited to participate in the 24th Shanghai TV Festival.
She was nominated for the Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actress.
On the day before the award ceremony officially started, the TV Festival rewarded all the nominated works and actors.
Xu Di thinks that he won't win the prize the next day, so he thinks this day is particularly important.
I dressed up seriously and participated in this award.
The next day, Xu Di was in no hurry to attend the Magnolia Award Ceremony and left a little late.
She didn't arrive at the scene until 6 o'clock, and she received a phone call from the staff in a hurry:
"xu teacher, where are you? Are you still coming? "
Xu Di replied, "I'm still on my way. There is a traffic jam here! I will definitely go! "
As a result, Xu Di unconsciously won the Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actress.
At that time, she was too excited to speak and thought it was because she was old.
After winning the prize, Xu Di became more famous.
It is said that there are many popular people. Xu Di never thought that there would be so many scandals at her age.
Because the love between Xu Di and Yu Jianwei is too low-key, no one knows who Xu Di's husband is.
There were different opinions at that time. Some people say that Xu Di's husband is Li Youlin, while others say that her husband is Yang Lixin.
Xu Di in distress situation.
In order to clear up these rumors, Xu Di finally talked openly about her husband in the variety show.
The program group also made a special trip to the studio to shoot the daily scenes of Xu Di and Yu Jianwei.
At that time, Xu Di was celebrating her 60th birthday, but when she was with her husband, she was as happy as a 17 girl.
He covered his ears and introduced "this is our old surplus" to the camera.
Watching her husband sweat profusely on the set, Xu Di is still fanning him with a fan.
Everyone I saw lamented their decades of love.
He also said: "When I worked with Lao Yu, we played many roles.
I am an assistant and correspondent. I have to take care of myself, but I don't take a penny. "
Having said that, Xu Di changed the subject again: "However, I gave him all the money I earned from filming."
Xu Di has a good performance in many works, and all this is inseparable from Yu Jianwei, who has been silently supporting her behind her back.
There are thousands of love stories about Qian Qian in the world, but there are few examples of growing old hand in hand with the first love.
Especially in such a dyeing vat-like entertainment circle, the enduring love between Xu Di and Yu Jianwei is even more precious.
Their love story always reminds people of an ancient and romantic poem:
Hold your hand and grow old with your son.
