Xu directed, co-wrote, co-produced and starred in Lost in Thailand (2012) and Lost in Hong Kong (2015), two of the highest-grossing films in China. He also co-produced and starred in Dying to Survive (2018).       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Xu found fame with the wacky TV series Sunny Piggy (2000), co-starring his future wife Tao Hong. He gained further recognition after other comedy TV dramas Li Wei the Magistrate (2001) and Love Through Different Times (2002), as well as comedy films Call for Love (2007) and Lost on Journey (2010). Xu has acted in most of Ning Hao’s films including No Man’s Land (2013) and Breakup Buddies (2014).Xu ranked 38th on Forbes China Celebrity 100 list in 2013,[1] 68th in 2015,[2] 92nd in 2017,[3] 4th in 2019,[4] and 2nd in 2020.[5]Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Biography[edit]Personal life[edit]Filmography[edit]Film[edit]Miniseries[edit]TV series[edit]Reality shows[edit]Theatre[edit]Awards and nominations[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Biography[edit]Growing up in Shanghai, Xu Zheng performed regularly in Children’s Palace theatres. After graduating from Shanghai Theatre Academy in 1994, Xu portrayed mostly minor roles on television and film for years. His big break came in 2000 with the silly romance TV series Sunny Piggy, in which he portrayed the dimwitted protagonist Zhu Bajie.[6]Sunny Piggy received high ratings nationally, paving way for other popular TV dramas such as Li Wei the Magistrate (2001) and Love Through Different Times (2002).[7] Since appearing in Ning Hao’s Crazy Stone (2006), Xu also began to turn more and more to comedy films, starring in Call for Love (2007) and One Night in Supermarket (2009). He also worked with Ning Hao again in Crazy Racer (2009) and No Man’s Land (2013).Xu had wanted to try his hands in filmmaking since acting was, in his words, “too passive”.[8] After the success of the comedy road film Lost on Journey (2010), Xu invited his co-star Wang Baoqiang to join his directorial debut Lost in Thailand, a film with the same premise. However, as a first-time director, Xu had a difficult time selling his story, meeting with 3 different production companies before convincing Beijing Enlight Pictures to invest US$4 million. Huang Bo, Xu’s good friend and frequent co-star in Ning’s films, also joined the project. Released in December 2012, Lost in Thailand raked in over US$200 million from about 40 million people[9][10] to become the highest-grossing domestic film in China’s history.[11] Shot mainly in Thailand, the film greatly boosted tourism to the country, and Xu even received a private meeting with the Thai prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra in 2013.[12]In 2014, Ning’s comedy road film Breakup Buddies starring Xu and Huang Bo grossed over US$195 million to become the highest-grossing domestic film of the year. Xu’s second directorial feature Lost in Hong Kong (2015), which he again starred-in, co-wrote and co-produced, broke Lost in Thailand’s Chinese 2-D film grossing record with US$250 million.[13]Personal life[edit]Xu Zheng first shaved his head while in college, and has been sporting his bald head ever since.[6]Xu married his Sunny Piggy co-star Tao Hong in 2002. They have portrayed a married couple in Unfinished Girl (2007) and Lost in Thailand. Other collaborations include Sky Lovers (2002 TV series), No Lonely Angels (2002 film), The Last Red Hot Lover (2005\u201306 theatre production), No Man’s Land, and How Long Will I Love U. Tao also made a cameo in Lost in Hong Kong. Their daughter was born on December 30, 2008, in Beijing.[14]Filmography[edit]Film[edit]Miniseries[edit]YearEnglish titleOriginal titleRoleNotes2006It’s So Good to Be In Love\u604b\u7231\u771f\u597dDou DingSitcom2010Unusually Crazy for Love\u975e\u5e38\u7231\u60c5\u72c2President XuWeb sitcom2018The Island\u597d\u620f\u4e00\u51faWeb miniseriesTV series[edit]YearEnglish titleOriginal titleRoleNotes1994Little Stories from the Orient\u6771\u65b9\u5c0f\u6545\u4e8bBao XuanEpisode: “Bao Xuan Gets Married” (\u9b91\u5ba3\u5a36\u89aa)1996Hu Xueyan\u80e1\u96ea\u5dd6Huang Zuoqing1997Soaring to the Sky\u98ce\u751f\u6c34\u8d77Segment: “The Stock Market” (\u80a1\u5e02)Zhou Enlai in Shanghai\u5468\u6069\u4f86\u5728\u4e0a\u6d77Wang Ming1998Vicissitude of Shanghai\u4e0a\u6d77\u6ec4\u6851Tang BoyeThe Beauty of the Warring States\u6230\u570b\u7d05\u984fShi Sha1999It’s So Annoying at Home\u5bb6\u91cc\u6bd4\u8f83\u70e6XiaoguaSitcom2000Red Dust from the Past\u7d05\u5875\u5f80\u4e8bLi XinzhiSunny Piggy\u6625\u5149\u71e6\u721b\u8c6c\u516b\u62122001Imperial Envoy of the 7th Grade\u4e03\u54c1\u6b3d\u5deeZhouLi Wei the Magistrate\u674e\u885b\u7576\u5b98Li Wei2002Love Through Different Times\u7a7f\u8d8a\u65f6\u7a7a\u7684\u7231\u604bZhu YunwenSky Lovers\u5929\u7a7a\u4e0b\u7684\u7f18\u5206FlatfishSegment 5: “Sun Tanning” (\u65e5\u5149\u6d74)Daddy’s Name is Hongqi\u7238\u7238\u53eb\u7ea2\u65d7Feng Yong2003The Return to Shanghai Bund\u91cd\u8fd4\u4e0a\u6d77\u7058Zhu ShijunThe Eight Hilarious Gods: Sun\u00fc’s Story\u7b11\u516b\u4ed9\u4e4b\u7d20\u5973\u7684\u6545\u4e8bL\u00fc DongbinThe Showroom Tales\u552e\u697c\u5904\u7684\u6545\u4e8bDeng FengSitcom2004Thirteen Sons of Heaven Bridge\u5929\u6a4b\u5341\u4e09\u90ceShi YukunLi Wei the Magistrate II\u674e\u885b\u7576\u5b98IILi WeiAlso co-director, sequel to the 2001 seriesThe Execution of Chen Shimei\u65b0\u9358\u7f8e\u6848Emperor Zhenzong only appears in flashbacksThe Perfect Banquet\u6eff\u6f22\u5168\u5e2dZhang DongguanMy Way\u8d77\u8dd1\u5929\u5802Gym customer2005Thrice Revealing the Emperor’s Edict\u4e09\u63ed\u7687\u699cFu YingxingThe Lucky Stars\u798f\u797f\u58fd\u00b7\u4e09\u661f\u5831\u559cZhang Guolao2006Crazy King and General Iron\u9435\u5c07\u8ecd\u963f\u8cb4Hongzhou, Prince HeTo Live to Love\u957f\u6068\u6b4cKang Mingxun2007Be a Man\u597d\u7537\u5f53\u5bb6Zhou Feng2008The Melody of Wedding\u7ed3\u5a5a\u8fdb\u884c\u66f2Yao XiangFirewall 5788\u9632\u706b\u58995788He Nian2009Distant Mountain\u9060\u5c71Commissioner XieI’m a Boss\u6211\u662f\u8001\u677fXu Tianlai2010Run Daddy Run\u8001\u7238\u5feb\u8dd1Zhang SanThe Amateur Imperial Bodyguard\u5927\u5167\u4f4e\u624b2012The Bachelor\u5927\u7537\u5f53\u5a5aCao Xiaoqiang2017A Splendid Life in Beijing\u751f\u9022\u707f\u70c2\u7684\u65e5\u5b50Passenger2018The Drug Hunter\u730e\u6bd2\u4ebaWu XiongReality shows[edit]2016: Twenty-Four Hours (\u4e8c\u5341\u56db\u5c0f\u65f6) on Zhejiang Television2016: Lost in Food (\u98df\u5728\u56e7\u9014) on Zhejiang Television2018: I Am an Actor (\u6211\u5c31\u662f\u6f14\u5458) on Zhejiang Television[20][21]Theatre[edit]A member of the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre, Xu was a stage star before finding fame in television and film.

He also directed at least 3 plays as early as 1998.[22][23] In 2005, he and Tao Hong starred in a 2-person play adapted from the Broadway comedy Last of the Red Hot Lovers, which caused a sensation in Beijing.[7] The couple subsequently performed the play over 30 times in 10 major cities, receiving overwhelming support everywhere that they canceled their holiday travel plans for more performances.[24]Awards and nominations[edit]References[edit]^ “2013 Forbes China Celebrity 100 List: Fan Bingbing in Top Spot”.
