"I don't think I can put any labels on it, these things don't matter. First of all, I am not very handsome, nor traffic, I just became popular for a short time. These are all things outside of the body, and everyone will talk about it for a while. I think so, in the final analysis, it is mainly filming and talking about works."
In Youku's hit drama "My Girlfriend Who Can't Be in Love", Xu Weizhou and Qiao Xin staged a sweet and romantic love story.
When it comes to what kind of person Xu Weizhou is, it is difficult to describe with a few simple words. He was obsessed with metal music when he was a teenager and sang like crazy in school. He probably never thought that he would become an actor in the future and experience the many possibilities of life in various roles. "Why are you still young? Good."
He likes rock and roll, can play guitar, and has studied Latin for ten years, but finally embarked on the road of performing courses. He likes to sing wantonly on the stage, and he also likes to interpret different lives on the screen, he is easy-going in the world, and has a kind of tenacity in his bones.
In life, he is still an out-and-out cat slave. He likes raising cats, exercising, playing games, and playing basketball. He is also a warm and caring person. He will make birthday cakes for his mother and participate in animal protection and other public welfare undertakings. There are many puzzling contrasts in him.
In the hustle and bustle, you can hardly perceive Xu Weizhou's maturity and sophistication. Speaking of the songs he listened to when he was a child and the time when his friends formed a band, his eyes revealed the exactness and expectations of the future, still like a vigorous teenager.
"My Girlfriend Who Can't Be in Love"
Chi Xin and I are both rigorous
playing Chi Xin in the TV series "My Girlfriend Who Can't Be in Love", let Xu Weizhou experience the feeling of being a "TV producer". The actor Chi Xin in
is a TV PD who pursues perfectionism in work and life. The professional background and the roles he has never played before make Xu Weizhou curious, but also make him difficult. After asking a lot of friends who are engaged in this industry, I realized that the real TV PD is very hard. I have to stay up all night thinking about creativity and almost no holidays. But Xu Weizhou, who was ready for his homework, quickly found the feeling of a character.

"Chi Xin is a very typical Virgo, he has very high requirements for work, he is very true in all aspects, details are controlled, everything has a Plan B, which is for everything A Virgo straight man who pursues perfectionism." When it comes to the character's love concept, Xu Weizhou's understanding is that Chi Xin is a "trainee" emotionally. "He has a arrogant personality, he doesn't talk about love and likes, he really likes it, just like an old boy who is in love at first, shy and awkward. So when dealing with relationship problems, he is very straightforward." Xu Weizhou in
life Like Chi Xin, he belongs to the rigorous sect, and he will plan for the worst in everything. Then he thinks of a Plan B that can support the bottom, and he is more demanding at work. "I have some perfectionism. Although I am not as picky as him, he is still a straight man of steel."

For Xu Weizhou, it would be very difficult to shoot a lot of passages and lines in fantasy idol dramas. Second, it is difficult to make the audience feel substituting. Idol dramas are very routines, but routines are actually more difficult, because the routines have to be deliberate. "So, we can only try our best to make adjustments to make life more appropriate. In the later stage, we lost all the scripts and acted on our own, keeping a late letter. A lot of the tone of speech, including the mode of getting along, is my own words."
music
As long as he stands on the stage, he will be "crazy"
In addition to an actor, Xu Weizhou has another important identity, a singer. When
was in high school, he formed an underground band called EggAche with a group of friends of similar age, mainly doing covers. In the beginning, I simply felt fun and cathartic, from playing rock and roll to covering "It’s My Life", then doing heavy metal.
's love for rock and roll once made him popular in the school. Everyone knows that there is such a number one person, very hi, very dry, shaking his head, but there will never be girls chasing him. "When I heard metal music for the first time at the age of 17, I felt like I had found a place to belong. It felt like this was what I wanted. At that time, I was still very famous. There was never a band that could play heavy metal rock at that age."
danceXu Weizhou on the stage, some "people are crazy", will perform violent head shaking. "We have also sang the song of the predecessors in China on Frost Eve. When we performed, they were crazy, and the neck was broken." The music of
has been accompanied by Xu Weizhou's growth all the way. On the stage, he would "people come crazy" and shook his head violently...
Unfortunately, not long before this band whose name was particularly unreliable disbanded. As the lead guitarist, Xu Weizhou and several other friends from different schools formed a new metal style band called "PROME". Taken from the first five letters of the ancient Greek hero Prometheus. It means to touch people's hearts with their own music and give people light and hope.
At that time, Xu Weizhou's monthly pocket money was spent on buying musical instruments and rehearsing. "My first violin was Ibanez's 270, two thousand yuan. I bought it with a long-term New Year's Eve money. I was very happy when I got that violin. I feel that my whole person has become better every weekend. They would finish their homework ahead of time and then start practicing.” At that time, they couldn't afford to go to a good rehearsal room, but could only go to the cheapest "basement"-an air-raid shelter, where they played drums, played piano, and sang. At the end, everyone will put together dozens of dollars to share the venue fee. In the intense schoolwork, Xu Weizhou also took time to write songs, arrange music, and run performances with his friends in the team.
February 2, 2012, this date Xu Weizhou can blurt out. On this day, at the MAO live house in Shanghai, he sponsored, promoted, and looked for a band to organize a "High School Students Winter Holiday Music Festival". "I was very nervous at the time. When I came to the stage, the hand holding the paddle was shaking, and the rhythm guitarist next to me was also shaking. I pretended to be calm and said to him, don't be afraid."
grows
actors must learn to be tolerant and bear the gap Feeling
In addition to conveying the spirit of rock and roll with his own music, Xu Weizhou also showed a Latin dance on the variety show "New Dance Forest Convention", "Latin is something I have been in elementary school for ten years, and I hope to continue it. "
Xu Weizhou has studied Latin dance for ten years. He hopes that more people can understand it and learn it.
However, he was professionally accomplished in music and dance, but he eventually became famous for acting. Xu Weizhou began to be exposed to acting from the High School Attached to the Shanghai Opera. After entering the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Opera, he gradually developed the idea of being an actor. "I think stage plays and drama actors are all right, but I never thought I could be a star."
At the beginning of 2016, because of a phenomenon-level web drama, Xu Weizhou, who was still studying, was put in front of everyone, and his eyes and topics followed. Up to now, nearly four years after his debut, Xu Weizhou has experienced rapid fame, experienced ups and downs, received various criticisms, and has been working hard to grow.
But in the eyes of outsiders, he is like a lucky guy who has been favored. The first solo album "Light" was released, and a concert tour was held. Fashion resources were flooded in, shuttled through major shows in Europe and America, and everything went smoothly. "If everyone can feel that way, then it's OK." The story that may be hidden behind this sentence was also gently taken by his sentence "Many bumpy things don't need too many people to know". For nearly two years, Xu Weizhou has no film and television works. However, he did not feel depressed, sang the theme song for the animated film "Ice and Snow" and dubbed the animated film "Big Fish and Begonia". Although
has experienced a "roller coaster" life, Xu Weizhou does not regret it and becomes calm. "No one can be popular for a lifetime. All works can be popular. Andy Lau and Tony Leung also rely on their own efforts to leave good works, and they will be remembered by everyone. In the end, they became Andy Lau and Tony Leung." Life must have The ups and downs will be full and full, "If everyone is saying hello, and you feel good about yourself, this is not a good thing." This is the truth that Xu Weizhou learned from lying in bed on a certain night after filming.
He filmed three shows last year. As the broadcast time is undetermined, the attention is not high. In the face of the gap, Xu Weizhou often warned himself that as an actor, he must learn to be forbearing, be lonely, and be able to withstand criticism and ridicule. It is necessary to bear the gap, but also to keep a good attitude and continue to work. In the face of some unfriendly voices on the Internet, Xu Weizhou was calm, "What I need most at this stage is to prove myself with my works, so that everyone can see that I am not just lucky." For me, the "transformation" of
in the future is still a little bit. Early
At present, Xu Weizhou still maintains the "not enough" energy in concerts, filming, and public welfare. Now that it is done, it must be done well. With the overall downturn in the music market, Xu Weizhou insisted on making physical albums. "To make music, you have to leave something." As for whether to make money, he never considered it.
For multiple careers, some people may choose to focus on one of them, but Xu Weizhou chose to do it at the same time even if it would be more tiring. "I will try my best to balance my time, but the current music and film and television work, I hope to be able to parallel, can be recognized by everyone." Acting and singing simultaneously will consume a lot of energy, how to balance? Talent, hard work, and self-confidence are probably the most critical factors. "If you are not talented, work harder, be more confident, and make up for your weaknesses with diligence."
Xu Weizhou is also an "ambitious" person when it comes to acting. When it comes to acting standards, he thinks the most important thing is to "be similar and suitable for his age; I also want to try a role that is different, marginal, and quite different from nature." "Transformation", this problem is still too early for Xu Weizhou, this is inevitable, but he is not in a hurry, and it is not as much as everyone imagined. difficult.
"In fact, it depends on the accumulation of works. When you make more films, the impression of others of you will change. Every old drama bone is also made step by step from a young age. The essence depends on the work. So, again Feeling of crisis will only increase grief, so it is better to do what you should do well."
Seeing the predecessors who have played well, Xu Weizhou will humbly ask for advice and study. When playing with an old actor, he will design the scene, and when he is in the real scene, there will be different collisions. In his opinion, it is also a very interesting thing.
Xu Weizhou is now more calm than the young boy when he first debuted. There are many things he doesn't want to think about, "Since you have decided to become an actor, if you can, just do it for a lifetime."
enjoys the stage lighting, but is not very eager to show off. This seems a bit contradictory, but it fits his Libra personality. Often tangled, but very decisive when it comes to making a decision.
life
knows how to cook and clean. He considers himself a "warm man"
. In life, Xu Weizhou is a soft-eared person. If a friend who owes money says that he is really difficult, he will wave his hand and say, "Forget it. I'll talk later." A friend came to Beijing from Shanghai to see him and suggested to go out and play. He would say, "Let's go, take you to see the sea." He immediately drove his friends to Qinhuangdao, arrived at 1 am, and waited until 4 o'clock to watch the sunrise together.
"Go and go, just do it" is Xu Weizhou's most comfortable state. It fascinates him to experience other people's lives in the name of characters, but he is unwilling to exchange lives with characters. Because the gain of every character includes their contribution and loss. "You can live a different life in filming, but if you really want to be like that, I still think that life is the best now." Xu Weizhou, a strong man, is also a good cook.
He feels that he has the advantages of a Shanghai man, warm. I can cook and clean. My best dish is beef curry. I grew up with my grandmother and had many habits influenced by my grandmother. Knitting scarves and sweaters was taught by grandmother. "My most powerful finished product is a half sweater. I found that I didn't have any sleeves halfway through the knitting process, so let my grandma help me remedy it."
Xu Weizhou's attitude of love is companionship. This is also derived from the daily life of parents, not because of being an actor. After that, too much change occurred. "I have never been married, so I don't know what it was like when I was 40 or 50 years old. For me, love is companionship, and companionship is a very important thing. Just like my parents, we stay together every day."
"I want to have a super fat big orange cat in my dreams"
Xu Weizhou likes cats. He wants a "super fat big orange" in his dreams. As long as there is a little free time, he will go to tease the cat. One day it was raining, and a two-month-old orange tabby cat ran under his RV. He took it out because it was very cold, so he found a paper box and made a simple nest for the cat out of old clothes.
Looking at Xu Weizhou's Weibo, you will find cats everywhere.
Originally he thought, took the cat to wash and bathe, gave an injection and adopted it. So he held the little orange cat in his arms and asked, "Are you going to be a wild cat or my cat?" Unexpectedly, the kitten jumped out of his arms and ran away. Xu Weizhou smiled sadly, okay, "IWe have no fate, since you choose to be a wild cat, that can only let you go. "
