There is a pair of sisters in Taiwan, known as the winner group in life. Their starting point was not high. They entered the entertainment industry because their father was in debt. Without help from noble people, they just relied on their own style to create a place in the entertainment industry. , was born with dark skin, but the day after tomorrow, she counterattacked and became fair and beautiful through her own efforts...
Tsai Kangyong described the sisters: They are the Taiwanese version of The Truman World. Since they entered the entertainment industry at the age of 17, their every move has been magnified in front of the camera. Things as big as getting married and having children, as small as shitting and farting have been hotly discussed by the audience.
They are Big S.
With low starting points and high achievements, they are called the winning team in life by countless girls with dreams, but how many people know the sadness and price behind them? As Big S once said, we don’t talk about the suffering, just to give everyone a hope.
Because you can’t even imagine the cost of becoming a big S.
1 The little girl of the Xu family has grown up
October 6, 1976, was originally an ordinary day, but for the Xu family in Taipei, Taiwan, this day was full of all kinds of things. There are complicated emotions. On the one hand, Xu's mother gave birth to her second daughter. This was a happy event, but for the Xu family, which values ??boys over girls, it seemed less pleasant.
The daughter is not the treasure of the Xu family, but the debt collection charm of the Xu family - the Xu family seems to have the gene for having daughters. Father Xu's generation wanted to have a boy, so many children Six daughters finally gave birth to a son.
It is really difficult to give birth to a son, but no matter how difficult it is, we must give birth. This has long been the consensus reached by the Xu family. Let’s call this baby Xu Xiyuan. The next baby will definitely be a boy.
So, the name was prepared in advance, probably called Xu Xidi. In this way, the two siblings go out together, and outsiders can tell from their names:
Xu Xidi is Xu Xiyuan's younger brother.
Unfortunately, things didn’t work out. The third child, for whom great hopes had been placed, was still a girl. Everyone in the Xu family felt very sorry. "No younger brother" became a knot in Xu's father's mind, so he had to give up. The third child was named Xu Xidi to alleviate the regret of having no male son in the family.
As a result, two girls were born in an unblessed environment. Because there were no boys in their generation, the parents had no choice but to try their best to raise these three daughters.
Having no boys is a good thing for the young Xu Xiyuan and Xu Xidi, because they don’t have to experience the contrast of favoring sons over daughters. But it is also a bad thing. Their father often blames their mother for this, and even So he gave up on himself, lost his business all of a sudden, and owed millions to others.
Xu Xiyuan, who was only 16 years old at the time, felt all this sensitively. Because the entertainment industry made a lot of money and could help her father pay off debts, she thought about entering the entertainment industry.
However, Xu Xiyuan was only a high school student at that time, and Xu Xiwei, who was even younger, was only in junior high school and had no mental development. How could she break into the entertainment industry.
Moreover, Xu's mother was unwilling to transfer the pressure from her parents to her daughter, and repeatedly rejected Xu Xiyuan's ideas. Once Xu's mother took Xu Xiyuan and Xu Xidi on the highway, Xu Xiyuan proposed this idea again.
After being rejected by her mother, the decisive and paranoid Xu Xiyuan suddenly opened the car door and jumped out.
The young Xu Xidi was shocked, "Isn't this a plot that only appears in Jackie Chan movies?" Xu Xidi was amazed and secretly admired her sister.
As a result, Xu Xidi was brought into the entertainment industry by her sister who was two years older than her.
That year, Xu Xidi was only 14 years old. She naively thought that she entered the entertainment industry to be a comedian, because her sister lied to her and said that she could wear paper doll tutu skirts, but she could be funny. She thinks it's great when others laugh, because she has been an observer of people's emotions since she was a child. She knows that if you make others laugh, you can please them.
Xu Xidi thought that was a very good job.
But in fact this is not the case. Although the two sisters formed a group ASOS and gave themselves a stage name of Big S and Little S, they are not comedians, but singers. No one was amused. , only to be endlessly ignored and booed.
At that time, Taiwan did not appreciate the appearance and style of big and small S.
At that time, it was the time when Qiong Yao girls were popular. Everyone liked the kind of looks with big watery eyes and the kind of weak women that I felt pity for.
No one is cold to Big S, including Wang Weizhong, who originally signed Big S. He also feels that his behavior is a mistake. However, fate can change everything, and there is a late-night program that lacks a female host with such a lively style, good at making tricks, and good jokes, so Big S was transferred to the night program.
At that time, the style of Big S was a style that had never been seen in Taiwan. The audience found Big S among the Qiong Yao girls filling the screen. At first, they felt it was very disharmonious.
Small S is like Xiaojiabiyu that cannot enter the elegant hall. It is okay to look at it occasionally when you are free, but the mainstream aesthetic still favors the Qiong Yao aesthetic.
However, time is a good thing, and time can make things turn around. After Qiong Yao's beauty was sought after, the world was dominated by Qiong Yao beauties, but they lacked a little flavor. At this time, the big and small S became the first choice for viewers who were against Qiong Yao's aesthetics.
They are real and lively, just like the girls next door. They don’t have big watery eyes, but they also have no sense of distance. They will share all kinds of embarrassing things on the show, such as dog poop, Xu’s mother hitting How much money you lose in mahjong, the secret recipe for holding in your farts, etc...
They have become a sharp sword to break the inherent aesthetics, shattering the Taiwanese audience's definition of beauty, the definition of actresses, and even It is also the definition of lifestyle.
It turns out that not only can a woman be beautiful by being dignified and virtuous, but also the cuteness and cuteness of a woman can be revealed in every way.
But what really made the audience turn from fans to Big S was the broadcast of "Variety Show 100%". In this program, Big S joked with each other and provided the audience with a lot of jokes.
The explosion happened almost instantly.
One day when the girls went out on the street, they discovered that many passers-by recognized them and chased them for autographs. They also imitated their clothes, made faces similar to theirs, and talked to them. Similar memes, so they knew that they were finally popular.
But this journey was not easy. It took six or seven years of dormancy before it finally broke through.
Lao Tzu once said: "The soft overcomes the strong, and the weak overcomes the strong."
Big S is such a person. Because Xu’s mother has a weak personality and her eldest sister cannot resist the rebellion, Big S, who has not been blessed by others since childhood, decided to stand up and fight on her own. So, after 6 or 7 years of struggle, , she took Little S to host a super popular variety show, and also paid off the huge sum of 8 million owed by her father.
Life seemed to have just returned to normal, but at this time Big S decided to transform. Although she worked hard to bring up little S in the variety show, she clearly knew that in fact, little S was more suitable for variety shows than herself.
Little S was just immature at that time, but when he matured, Little S was completely able to stand on his own, and even do better than himself. Big S, aware of this problem, is planning to become an actor.
At this time, Chai Zhiping approached Big S. The film "Meteor Garden" was just a test of the waters. Unexpectedly, the work that tested the waters became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Big S's value rose and became a celebrity. A well-deserved first sister in idol dramas.
Many people may say that this is because Big S is lucky, but this is not the case.
In the years when he was planning to leave variety shows and switch to idol dramas, Big S paid a lot, first of all for his skin color. Big S's skin is actually naturally darker than that of Little S. His current white skin is the result of his own hard work.
It is almost an open secret that she will do anything to whiten her skin.
In order to become white, she does not eat any black food. No matter how hot the weather is, she always wears long clothes and long pants when going out, and has a full daily maintenance plan.
In order to lose weight, she can wear a corset 24 hours a day, or she can reduce the already demanding weight-loss meal by half. The intake for a whole day is not enough for an ordinary person to eat one meal.
In order to maintain a weight of 42 kilograms, at the worst time, I only ate one banana a day for a whole month.
Her classic sayings are:
"Let yourself be as white as a fluorescent lamp. I would rather die of heat than bask in the sun!" "It's easy to poison me, just tell me to drink it." This is delicious and I will drink it without hesitation.
”
Not only that, she doesn’t even let go of her own hair. She insists on combing and maintaining it every day, and even the number of times she combs her hair is stipulated.
She has been “perverted” and self-disciplined all year round. In the end, she succeeded in counterattacking and transformed herself into an "acquired beauty".
It is precisely because of this persistence that she got the opportunity to star in "Meteor Garden". In fact, as long as you keep paying attention to Big S. , you will find that her skin color is getting whiter a little bit. She is a little whiter now than when she played Shancai.
Self-discipline is not a whim for her. It is the persistence of many years.
Thanks to an idol drama and several books of "Whitening King", Big S successfully entered the inland areas of China and became the leading idol drama queen in the inland areas. and female stars.
Perhaps due to the influence of Big S, Little S also ushered in the most important moment in his life, that is, his partner Cai Kangyong hosted the Taiwanese variety show "Kangxi Is Coming". The variety show also successfully brought Little S to the status of the first sister of variety shows.
Big S created an era. Big S ushered in the era of idol dramas and was the first to break through the softness on the screen. The female artist with a female image has successfully subverted people's definition of women in love and cheered up all women.
Little S created the era of female comedians and was the first. The female artist who became popular with her comedian image made the audience exclaim that variety shows can still be hosted in this way, which was refreshing to all viewers.
Big and small S is doing things that no one has done before. Along the way, we have gained achievements that have never been achieved by our predecessors, but we must have paid a price that our predecessors have never paid.
But what cannot be stopped is that this combination of ASOS. After disbanding, he appeared in front of everyone in another form.
If you just look at career, there is no doubt that Big S is the leader of the Victory Group in life. One is the queen of idol dramas, and the other is a star of variety shows. This is amazing. This is a winner in life.
When others work alone, there is a risk of failure in the future, but Big S does not seem to have it. After all, they are biological sisters. As long as one of them helps, both of them can return to the top.
From this point of view, these two sisters really have the most enviable family and the most desirable family.
I believe that if there is a vote, no one would be willing to be a big S, after all, they are the winners in life.
However, the outside world’s evaluation of them is not so good in terms of marriage. After that, things took a turn for the worse. Marriage is now an issue that people cannot avoid when evaluating women.
This may be why men are better at ignoring women’s career achievements. Judging a person based on his marital status alone.
This is true for Big S.
Big S did not go well, even though he was in a relationship with a super handsome guy. The first one was Lan Zhenglong, and the second one was Zhou Yimin. They are simply the two most handsome men in Taiwan. However, for Lan Zhenglong to play the role, after the topic of forced marriage came up, the situation became very unfavorable for Big S.
Big S knew that he could not win Lan Zhenglong's heart, so he decisively quit the relationship. Even at that time, Big S was already the queen of idol dramas, and Lan Zhenglong was just a little-known newcomer in the entertainment industry.
Big S always knows how to advance and retreat, and knows what he wants both professionally and emotionally. So, when her relationship with Zhou Yimin could no longer be maintained, she decisively chose to quit.
Leave the place without any sloppiness.
After that, she never had a new relationship until she met Wang Xiaofei. The acquaintance with Wang Xiaofei was actually very dramatic. When they went to a restaurant to eat, Big S said that her arm was injured. Wang Xiaofei also echoed that she had been like that. Big S immediately responded, mocking Wang Xiaofei for being too deliberate and far-fetched. However, Wang Xiaofei was not angry after being retorted and still talked to Big S calmly.
Wang Xiaofei’s temper was so good that even Big S was amazed. Big S thought at the time that this person was very suitable for marriage. After having this idea, meeting, falling in love, and getting married all became a matter of course.
However, this relationship is not favored by the audience. It has only been two months since they met and they got married. They only met a few times before they decided to get married? This is obviously something fraught with great risks.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is not a risky thing for Big S. She has a strong nature, a strong personality, knows honor and disgrace, and knows how to advance and retreat. She knows what she wants. What kind of man, or in other words, she knew very well what kind of man had the qualifications to become her husband.
She knows herself well enough and has a clear enough understanding of the role of her husband. Just like fashion bloggers, they are very aware of the shortcomings of their bodies, so before buying clothes, they know exactly what kind of clothes they want to buy. The only difference is that they meet each other. Once they meet, they will find that the other person is the one they have been waiting for. He has been around for a long time.
After seeing Wang Xiaofei’s friendly attitude after the defeat, Big S knew that Wang Xiaofei was an open-minded and optimistic straight man from Beijing. He thought little, spoke straightforwardly, was upright and simple, and was just right for him. type, so a flash marriage is also reasonable.
But unfortunately, Zhang Lan’s existence has exposed Big S to a lot of black material. First, Zhang Lan claimed that the wedding was sponsored by Wang Sicong, and later made public comments about Big S. Opinions, etc., make people feel that Wang Xiaofei's wealthy family is also a threshold for big S.
Moreover, Wang Xiaofei has talked about female celebrities such as Zhang Yuqi before. Her ex’s retorts on the show and the difficulty of giving birth have made her lose face several times.
But Big S is always a ruthless person. She effectively fought back several times. After gaining weight during pregnancy, she lost weight back to a little fairy in just one month. In addition to receiving a lot of praise, she also started to enter variety shows and successfully restored her image.
No matter how you look at it, Big S's marriage is much happier than Little S's.
Little S actually got married earlier than Big S. While Big S was on vacation, Little S suddenly called Big S and told him that I was getting married. Big S was surprised. His relationship with his ex Huang Zijiao shocked everyone. As we all know, she is definitely not marrying Huang Zijiao, so who is she marrying?
Little S gave an answer that surprised Big S, Xu Yajun.
Marrying Xu Yajun, Xiao S was always the humble one. During the wedding, Xiao S cried several times, saying that she could not believe that she could marry Xu Yajun, a famous family member in Taiwan.
Perhaps it was this low profile at the beginning that caused her to always walk on thin ice in her marriage.
Life after marriage is obviously not peaceful.
First of all, the birth of three daughters repeated the mistakes of the Xu family. Xiao S, who was originally born in a family that values ??sons over daughters, also wanted to give birth to a boy. Xu Yajun was even more so. But the more she wanted, the more unfaithful God became. Little S gave birth to daughters several times.
She knew very well that people would not say anything to a pregnant woman who gave birth to a daughter, but in their hearts, they more or less looked at the reality of a pregnant woman giving birth to a boy.
Comparing Weiqi Fan, who gave birth to two boys, and Little S, who gave birth to three girls, we can find that Weiqi Fan not only failed to bring Little S closer to the pregnant mother exchange group, but also made it so unlucky to give birth to a daughter. These words are almost written on my face.
How could little S not know this in his heart? After all, she did not have the son that the entire family longed for. No one knew why? Biologically speaking, this is obviously the reason for Xu Yajun. But starting from real life, it is an unchangeable fact that Xiao S’s entire family has daughters.
In the face of facts, who would mention the fluffy biological basis, so in the bottom of my heart, the words "It's unlucky to marry you, and the whole family is a daughter" will stay in the throat after all.
Xiao S may have always felt guilty about Xu Yajun, so he tried his best to support this playboy's career. Xu Yajun also briefly behaved and founded the Fat Master bread brand. However, the good times did not last long. Fatty Master was exposed to food safety issues. Xiao S, who had always been laughing and joking on the show, bowed and apologized to Xu Yajun in front of the camera with a tired face.
Originally, it was Xu Yajun who was at fault, but Xiao S’s attitude was too bullying, so the media vented their anger on Xiao S.
After Fat Master, Xu Yajun became even more restless. He went in and out of nightclubs several times, and the young supermodel girls hugged each other. The whole country knew that Xu Yajun had an affair with Xiao S, but before the crowd launched a war of words against Xu Yajun, Xiao S But S chose to stand up and apologize first.
No one can understand why the rich, handsome and interesting little S endures such humiliation for a playboy type man?
Little S and Big S are obviously biological sisters, but their marital status is quite different. Big S is not a tough woman who is bound to get divorced if her husband cheats on her, but she has never been a little woman who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.
Therefore, although the marriage once caused Big S to fall into a trough, he quickly won a reputation, but Little S has always stayed in the trough and has never come out. Just because of the development of his career, It is always difficult for the audience to speak ill of Xiao S.
Although career is not the focus of external audience's judgment of big and small S, it guarantees the bottom line of big and small S's life.
Why Tsai Kang-yong said Big S is the Taiwanese version of The Truman Show? It’s because Big S’s career and marriage are always under the attention of the audience.
Just like a nurturing game, the two have been active on the stage since they were 17 years old, spanning multiple identities such as variety shows, actors, celebrities, writers, and hosts.
Their growth has always been consistent with ours. But the more you get to know Big S, the more you can discover the wonders of their lives.
Appearance and personality seem to be inversely proportional to the size S. Big S has a round face, a gentle and virtuous appearance, and has a traditional Chinese female image. She seems to be the type who endures humiliation. In addition, most of Big S's screen images have long hair reaching the waist, a slight smile, and the word gentle. , it can be said that it is tailor-made for it.
In fact, it is just the opposite. Everyone who has been with Big S thinks that she is an extremely strong woman. She has a strong desire to control. She not only likes to control herself, but also likes to control others. Generally speaking, the lives of Big S are guided and controlled by Big S.
She refuses to admit defeat, is belligerent, and fights against injustice.
Little S has a sharp face, is lively, smart, and sometimes has a "mean" look. She is obviously not a pleaser personality, but has an appearance full of tension and shaping power. She seems to be a stubborn type. Coupled with Xiao S's various extraordinary performances in "Kangxi Is Coming", the audience can easily identify her as a wealthy person. Aggressive personality.
The fact is exactly the opposite. Little S has no independent opinion and listens to other people’s opinions in everything. Many celebrities who have been in contact with Little S have said, "Little S really doesn’t love herself too much." Various programs It can also be seen from Zhong that she is extremely frugal. She can carry a backpack for ten years, which is more than ordinary people with a monthly salary of 3,000.
She is cowardly, sensitive, weak, has no opinion and lets others manipulate her. This is the real little S.
Why is the size S like this? Their looks and personalities are completely different, and their careers and marriages are also developing in different ways? The reason is actually hidden in the family that favors sons over daughters.
If the birth of Big S was somewhat anticipated, then the birth of Little S was completely unexpected. Xu's father and Xu's mother both thought that after giving birth to two daughters, the whole family would usher in a change. The third child must be a boy, and he must be Xu Xiyuan's younger brother.
However, she is a girl. Even if Xu’s father and Xu’s mother do not say it, you can imagine how disappointed they are. After all, the family funds are limited, and generally three children are the limit of support. That is to say , the birth of Xu Xidi took up the possibility of her younger brother.
It is impossible for the Xu family to wait until the seventh child to give birth to a boy like the previous generation, so they can only accept their fate.
Xu's father was extremely disappointed and began to indulge in evil ways, drinking and gambling. Although he could not say that he did all kinds of evil, his love for his children was always very little.
Not only the children, Xu’s mother was also subjected to domestic violence many times. After drinking, Xu's father, who was unhappy with his life, began to domestically abuse Xu's mother. At this time, the eldest sister would often hide, but Xu Xidi was ignorant and was so frightened that she cried. Xu Xiyuan saw the indifferent eldest sister on one side and the big sister on the other. The crying sister felt powerless and had no choice but to fight on her own, so she mustered up the courage to walk up to her father who was doing domestic violence and denounced his behavior.
Once, there is a second time. Xu Xiyuan, who has gained experience, knows how to hide Xu Xidi in advance to prevent her from seeing her mother being beaten, but she is confronting her parents, so , this model was constantly copied in daily life, and it became the Xu Xiyuan and Xu Xidi we see today.
In the variety show "We Are Best Friends", it can be seen that no matter how much Xu Xidi plays or loses her temper, she can only be quiet in front of the more powerful Xu Xiyuan.
To her, Xu Xiyuan is a being of absolute power, even a substitute for her father. Xu Xidi has said many times in the "Kangxi Is Coming" program that she didn't know anything when she was 14 years old, and she only knew how to imitate her sister, because she knew that as long as she imitated her sister, it was right.
She also said that no matter what happened to her, she knew it was right to turn to her sister, so she was willing to share everything with her sister as soon as possible. Her sister could listen to her and give her a lot of advice. and comfort.
From these small details of getting along, we can all see that Xu Xiyuan has always been a father figure to Xu Xidi. Even if Xu Xidi grows up and no longer needs her father's protection, she is used to being the protected child.
Behavior patterns and thinking patterns are fixed. Even if one day Xu Xidi suddenly discovers that she has entrusted her father's vision to her sister, and she wants to change, but Xu Xiyuan, who is used to her father's role, is also Difficult to adapt to any changes.
Moreover, for them, although this model has many disadvantages, it is already the best model. Just like the college entrance examination, many people know it is unfair, but it is already the fairest existence.
I have no doubt that Xu Xiyuan is providing moral support to the entire Xu family. Once Xu Xiyuan falls, the entire Xu family will fall into chaos, and Xu Xiyuan also likes to be the leader, because from this role, she gains the respect and dependence of the entire family.
When watching the program "We Are Real Friends", I often see comments saying that Xu Xiyuan has a strong personality. Netizens seem to be very aggressive towards the two sisters. Xu Xiyuan has a strong personality, while Xu Xidi has a weak character. This is the most intensive attack.
The words of netizens may be full of justice, but they are also full of ignorance. In the unfortunate family of Xu Xiyuan and Xu Xidi, they have lived the happiest life of their native family.
In fact, to this day, we can still see in them the shadows brought to them by their original families.
Xu Xiyuan is strong, determined, and stubborn to the point of self-abuse, and Xu Xiwei is insecure, overly frugal, and even looks like a resentful woman.
However, they are still representatives of new women. All girls of this generation who live in families that favor boys over girls will understand how costly it is to become Xu Xiyuan and Xu Xiwei.
The pain of the original family has been overcome by Su Mingyu, but only by Fan Shengmei. Looking at the big S, are they not another version of Su Mingyu and Fan Shengmei?
If possible, I hope you never understand the price of becoming a big S.
