On the afternoon of November 3, the backstage of the 1600-square-meter studio of Guangdong Radio and Television Station was crowded by female choreographers, female journalists, female makeup artists, female contestants, and female dancers. Because, on this day, the sixth recording guest of "The Voice of Cantonese" was Chen Xiaodong.
It is normal for Dongdong to make female audiences collectively lose control, after all, many post-80s girls have done a difficult choice question when they are young: marry Chen Xiaodong or Xie Tingfeng when they grow up?
Now that the post-80s generation has grown up, Chen Xiaodong has also become someone else's husband and father, no longer a teenager. In the background of "The Voice of Cantonese", Dongdong was interviewed exclusively by "Entertainment No Circle" to pour out his heart, and he lamented that he had gained and regretted that he had been in the industry for 22 years.
Wait a minute! Something strange has happened here

Actually collided with Chen Xiaodong! face! finish!
Are the facial features of the two people copied and pasted?
Dreamy big eyes, this is the teenagers in the comics
In fact, our reporter herself, like other girls, has been Chen Xiaodong's fan sister since she was a child, and she is indeed said to be very similar to Chen Xiaodong since she was 12 years old.
That's what she looked like when she was a kid

Genes are a wonderful thing
Our circle xiaoji Feng Mingmei and the camera Xiaoye secretly broke the news:
On the day of recording, Chen Xiaodong was in a hurry to catch the plane and originally did not arrange an interview. But Dongdong people are very good, after the reporter squatted for a long time, he especially allowed the two circle Xiaoji to enter the backstage shooting, the day he was in a good mood with the reporter to talk about music, ideals to gush endlessly, even if the assistant urged the scene, he also said that if he did not enter the industry will become a ...

"Chen Xiaodong: A Teenager Who Has Never Been Forgotten by the Music Scene"
Post-80s first love: Debut too early a little regret
In the mid-1990s, the well-developed Cantonese record industry gave birth to sparkling music and pop culture, and the Hong Kong music scene, which was full of dreams for the millennium, ushered in a new generation of idols, and Chen Xiaodong was one of them.
Single-handedly creating The Polygram records of Tan Yonglin, Jacky Cheung and Faye Wong, choosing a newcomer can be described as one of the best, not only needing to have a good appearance in singing, but more importantly, he must have the potential to become an icon of the times. Dai Sicong, a well-known singing teacher who once single-handedly cultivated Xueyou, Hua Tsai and Faye Wong, recommended his student Chen Xiaodong to the record company.
At that time, the students who were at the same time as Dongdong were Nicholas Tse and Lin Feng, and no one expected that these two little brothers would also occupy half of the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the future. It is conceivable that Chen Xiaodong has outstanding qualifications and is also very lucky.
Dongdong won many awards in the music industry shortly after his debut, and became the male lead of the movie, and his popularity once approached the four kings; his "First Love Infinite Touch" starring him and Liang Yongqi made many post-80s fall in love with Dongdong, a beautiful teenager like a comic character.
Although it has attracted much attention as soon as it debuts, debuting at the age of 19 is a regrettable thing for Dongdong. In fact, Dongdong grew up studying in the United States and his grades were very good, but in order to become a singer, he gave up the scholarship provided by american universities and did not continue to study: "A little regretful." In the future, my children, I also hope to support them to study more, because a person's knowledge reserve is difficult to make up after a period of time. For example, when I was a child, I went to an international school, and some of my knowledge was like Chinese history, and I felt that I was missing. ”

The Red Period: The three years of gray suddenly arrived
Shortly after becoming popular in Hong Kong, Chen Xiaodong Chinese records to enter the Taiwan market. In the fantastic Chinese song mv, the fresh image of Dongdong has also gained countless fans for him. However, Chen Xiaodong is not satisfied with being a singing and dancing idol singer.
At that time, every record, Chen Xiaodong had his own ideas in terms of styling design and song setting. In 1999, he released the album "Man like the Wind", which broke through the image, he sang fast songs, and also sunburned his skin color to bronze.
However, the Taiwanese version of the record, in order to maintain his image as a teen idol, chose a pure love photo of his fair complexion as the cover. Because of these constraints, Dongdong's own musical vision is difficult to realize in the relatively small Chinese record space.
The company's strategy is correct, Chen Xiaodong is not surprised. When it was popular, Dongdong openly patted the young jade girl Cecilia Cheung. With his high popularity, good records, and a headline-making pair, his path seems to be enviably smooth.

No one expected that all kinds of accidents would suddenly follow
Dongdong has gone through a rather difficult three years
In 1998, Chen Xiaodong and his mentor Dai Sicong had a contract dispute and terminated the contract for HK$7 million. Subsequently, Dongdong cooperated with the new agent, Liang Shaoying. But Miss Liang committed suicide by jumping off a building in 2000.

Hong Kong media described that Liang Shaoying had deep feelings for Dongdong, and at that time, Baizhi was Dongdong's girlfriend, and Liang Shaoying could not open it and committed suicide. In this regard, Dongdong denied: "In short, the speculation of the media is that there is none." It's not my turn to deal with it, how do I deal with something like this? I can only accept. ”
After repeated storms, Dongdong broke up with Bai Zhi, and he also went to Taiwan and the mainland to develop, and since then he has gradually drifted away from the Hong Kong music scene. Switching to Taiwan and the mainland, Dongdong mainly attacked drama, which was actually very painful for him as a singer, and sometimes even his family did not understand him: "I made a play, and my father came to ask me, you seem to have filmed a drama in Shanghai, and it was screened in three days on the border, are you very short of money to spend?" Why are you making so many bad movies? ”
Behind these dissections of Dongdong, behind the gorgeous aura of the idol, is a hardship that is difficult to be humane: Chen Xiaodong bears criticism, faces the dilemma of transformation, and has to force himself to grow.
In 2013's "Lanling King", Dongdong's acting skills exploded, and he also received more attention again. In fact, it is also this play that is the beginning of a complete transformation of Dongdong's self, which was once the proud son of heaven: "I have always played the main role!" Suddenly I want to play an emperor again, before I made a TV series, all the heroines must like me! The heroine of this drama does not like me this time, and it is a treacherous character. He replied to me, isn't that better to play? This sentence woke me up! ”
Career transformation: A mature male father with a peaceful attitude
While gradually regaining popularity with TV dramas, Dongdong has gradually returned to the Cantonese music scene, and this year he launched a new Cantonese song "Chaos Constellation". At this time, it is already 2017, in this pompous Internet era where many singers are using showmanship works to deceive the click rate, Chen Xiaodong is still focusing on singing the 1997 style of affectionate love songs, and the heroine of his new song mv is his wife Wang Yuxian.
Today's Dongdong, is already the father of two children, after experiencing various rights and wrongs in the entertainment industry, his state of mind has become peaceful, and every time he plays a new song, he also cherishes it and feels it more deeply.
As a guest and judge of "The Voice of Cantonese", Dongdong went to the studio a day in advance for rehearsals. Perfection is demanded in every detail.
On the day of the official recording, Dongdong forgot his words when singing "Black Tie", and he also took the initiative to ask to start over, and the audience applauded his dedication. In Dongdong, we can still see the professional singers of the golden age of Hong Kong music 20 years ago, with their dedication and enthusiasm for music. "I'm a singer, and my job is to tell you stories. Tell me this story in my way for you. ”
A dancing teenager dedicated his best years to the show business circle; it was a sad thing to watch him undergo the grind and transform from a teenager into a middle-aged man.
Fortunately, however, the impetuous entertainment industry did not erase his frankness, as well as his love and dedication to music. Perhaps, Chen Xiaodong has not become a superstar in the singing world like Principal Tan and Jacky Cheung, but he is an idol that will not be forgotten in the commercial production line of Hong Kong music.
No star can monopolize decades of glory, but there is always an idol who will leave the imprint of the times. We no longer have 19-year-old Chen Xiaodong, but still remember the innocence of saving money for PolyGram tapes and CDs;
