Although Pu Cunxin’s hometown is in Nanjing, he was born in Beijing. When he was a child, he contracted polio due to an illness. When he was in elementary school, he was laughed at by his classmates as a "lame" because he walked with a limp. During that time, he preferred to stay with horses and rarely interacted with people.
This nickname made him suffer from low self-esteem until his family performed surgery on him when he was 9 years old. The operation was a success, and my classmates no longer laughed at me from then on. When Pu Cunxin went to the countryside to work as an educated youth, his legs and feet were still a little awkward when walking because he had not yet passed the recovery period after the operation. Therefore, for a long time, the feeling of inferiority has always been with him. His job in the countryside was mainly to raise horses.
In the face of the system, he is an outspoken admonisher, and his comments criticizing the theater and cultural system have often been published in newspapers; in the face of younger generations, he is content to sit on the second line and guide young actors. He once advised Lin Miaoke with good intentions and called him "Lin Miaoke." Speak naturally." Who would have thought that he was once "looked down upon" by Song Dandan: Xiao Pu, we have never thought highly of him, how can he act?
His past experiences helped him develop a spirit of not being afraid of hardship and perseverance. He was eventually admitted to the Kongzheng Repertory Theater and became a professional actor. Although he started late, he was more diligent than others, which also impressed Teacher Lan Tianye. He defied all opinions and transferred Pu Cunxi to Beijing People's Art School, which is full of talents. Song Dandan also asserted face to face that Pu Cunxin could not play Bai Jiaxuan, the protagonist of "White Deer Plain" because the lines were in Shaanxi dialect and it was difficult to speak well. He went home and listened to the recording of lines every day. After a week, he came back to rehearse the play, and Song Dandan was impressed.
Pu Cunxin’s acting skills are beyond reproach. He has won the Golden Eagle Award, the Huabiao Award, the Best Actor at the College Student Film Festival, and the Plum Blossom Award twice. What is even more worth mentioning is that Pu Cunxin is also a national moral model and was once selected as one of the top ten people who moved China. Later, he focused on drama performances. The drama "Li Bai" in which he starred has become the repertoire of Beijing People's Art Theatre. Pu Cunxin performed this drama 200 times in 29 years.
In fact, if Pu Cunxin really wants to return to the screen, with his qualifications and abilities, it is impossible for him to have nothing to film. The reason why there is no filming now is because he has too high demands on himself and his script works. Pu Cunxin once told reporters that if he wanted to film a movie, he would have to make relevant preparations a year in advance. He would need to understand the background of the story, sort out the details of the characters, etc.
Once a precedent is set for donations of different natures, the consequences are difficult to predict. In fact, if he had not set such high requirements for himself, he would already be worth tens of millions today. In the early years of filming "Master Hongyi", when Pu Cunxin was filming the tonsure scene, he had been influenced by Buddhist culture. Although people will have a lot in this life, in the end it is all about giving and taking. After 2015, he is rarely seen in the film and television circles, but when he has time, he will go on the drama stage to indulge his acting addiction.
Those outstanding actors who once dominated the screen now rarely appear on the screen. Today's film and television industry has long changed. Now is an era where "traffic" is king. The difference between actors and stars is clear when you look at the works, and of course the current audience is not stupid. Perhaps, one day the aesthetic standards of a few years ago will return again, and there will be more and more actors like Pu Cunxin who insist on doing what they do and what they give up.
But as he continued to act, Pu Cunxin found that he seemed to be limited in his acting career. He was playing roles similar to "Jade-faced Xiaosheng" all day long, and no one had ever approached him to play the role of a sinister and cunning bad guy. Or a rough and tumble man. Pu Cunxin is such a stubborn person. Others say he can only act as a "little boy with a beautiful face", but he refuses to believe in evil and broadens his acting career step by step, constantly improving himself as an actor.
"Light has many meanings, including faith and life. Only by adhering to truth, goodness and beauty, and only yearning for light, can one find light." When Pu Cunxin was a child, he often stood in the aisle of the art stage to deliver meals to his father. At that time, he knew that the brightly lit stage was his lifelong pursuit. Today, Pu Cunxin is far away from the pursuit of the traffic market, but he provides more than a hundred good shows every year. Perhaps, if he is worthy of the audience, worthy of himself, and worthy of his family, we can call him a well-deserved "virtue and artistry".
