It was purely unexpected that Wu Qilong, one of the idol groups Little Tigers, who swept the two sides of the Taiwan Straits and three places in the 1990s, would enter this circle.
Wu Qilong has been practicing taekwondo and judo since he was a child, and has won three years of Taiwan's judo and taekwondo championships, and he has always dreamed of becoming a taekwondo player. However, Wu Qilong's family is not very well-off, and he has mentioned in many interviews that in his adolescence, he often moved because of family problems and worked various jobs to earn tuition and living expenses.

In the summer of 1988, when Wu Qilong was spending the summer vacation at his home in Taipei, he was instigated by his classmates to set up a stall. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by an agent of Kaili Creative Portfolio Brokerage and invited him to audition. How many young people's dreams are to enter the entertainment industry, but Wu Qilong refused, because he felt that the artist was too busy, so that he could not continue to practice taekwondo. The agent did not give up, but turned to lobby Wu Qilong's mother, after many days of lobbying, finally Wu Qilong's mother was moved, so Wu Qilong forced Wu Qilong to participate in the audition. On the day of the audition, each participant had to perform a dance to take the test, and Wu Qilong did not have a dance foundation so he was not prepared. Before playing, Wu Qilong had to borrow music tapes from others and imitate other competitors, and in the end, Wu Qilong actually won the favor of the judges with his beautiful backflip. At that time, Zhang Xiaoyan, the owner of Kaili Creative Portfolio Brokerage Company, once commented that Wu Qilong was a "natural superstar". After that, there was the "Little Tiger Team" formed by Wu Qilong, Su Youpeng and Chen Zhipeng. The handsome Wu Qilong is also deeply liked by everyone.

However, a year after the Little Tigers became an army, Wu Qilong had plans not to renew his contract, in addition to being an artist who completely affected his former life, more importantly, the failure of his father's business owed a huge amount of money made him depressed, and with the encouragement of Zhang Xiaoyan and others, he persevered. And the huge financial pressure, but also made him in the tigers disbanded, desperately working, in addition to studying and 2, 3 hours of sleep every day, asking the company to arrange his work very compact and full, regardless of the quality of the number of plays, and even picked up a lot of films that even his brothers and brothers laughed at, at that time, he was very sad both mentally and physically. It wasn't until his brother saw him crying and laughing in a trance, and there was no response when he asked him, that the family found that Wu Qilong had carried and paid too much for this family, and the family was moved and understood.

He persevered for 12 years, and it was not until the filming of "Xiao Eleven Lang" was completed that he closed his debts. It is precisely because of this experience of tears in front of people that he worked very seriously and often carried out dangerous actions himself, so he suffered many serious injuries. For all this, Wu Qilong did not complain in the slightest, which is also one of the reasons why he can gain the favor of fans.
