The second generation of stars in the entertainment industry is often born with a golden spoon, most of them are delicate after the scenery, from the time of birth, they are destined to enjoy the follow-up of the spotlight all the way.
But because of this, the growth process of the second generation of stars is not the same, and some of them are limited everywhere because of the dazzling starlight of their parents, such as Jackie Chan, Zhao Benshan, Zhang Guoguo, and the children of these people, one is worse than the other, completely inferior to the parents.
However, there are also many underrated stars in the entertainment industry, who have also been not optimistic for a long time before or after their debut, but often in the end, they have also used their efforts and strength to prove that their abilities have long been far better than their parents!
This time, Xiaobian will take stock of the eight underrated stars in the entertainment industry, they have ideals, can bear hardships, strong ability, almost every one of them can be called a real strength!
1. Chen Qiang's son Chen Peisi
In the eyes of many viewers, they have not been able to look down on the so-called star second generation, and many examples in the circle also show that the second generation of stars is nothing more than relying on the starlight of their parents and nibbling on a lifetime of old age.
But what many people don't know is that the old artist Chen Peisi is from the second generation of stars, and his father, Chen Qiang, was once a senior actor.
It is reported that Chen Qiang has been active since the end of the 1940s and has an acting career of more than 60 years, and his representative works include "White Haired Girl", "Red Girl Scout Army", "Look at this family", "Flying to Hengfu" and so on.
He was also the winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 1st Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films, and in 2008, Chen Qiang won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 17th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival and the 29th Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films, and the following year, he won the "Classic Film Image" Award.
Moreover, Chen Qiang was also selected as one of the "Twenty-Two Movie Stars" in 1961, and these 22 actors, whether it is acting, glory or morality, are real artists who are one of the best.
On June 26, 2012, Mr. Chen Qiang passed away in Beijing Anzhen Hospital at the age of 94.
Chen Qiang has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is called Chen Buda, the younger son is Chen Peisi, and the brothers also happen to form "Budapest".
Chen Peisi, who looks like his father, is the second professional actor in the family.
Because the two villains of his father Chen Qiang's "Huang Shiren" and "Nan Batian" were too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, this also caused him to suffer many grievances in his later years, including Chen Peisi himself.
Therefore, Chen Peisi has been determined to be a comedian since he was a child, so that all the audience can see him and laugh.
In 1980, Chen Peisi and his father Chen Qiang began to cooperate for the first time, and the father and son starred in the movie "Look at the Family", which was popular all over the country as soon as it was released.
After that, the father and son successively cooperated in five films, "Father and Son", "Second Son Open Shop", "Father and Son Classic Car", "Silly Hat Manager", and "Grandfather And Grandfather Open Song Hall", Chen Qiang completed the transformation to a comedian, and Chen Peisi laid his position in the acting industry.
It is worth mentioning that since 1984, Chen Peisi cooperated with Zhu Shimao to participate in the Spring Festival Gala for the first time and performed the sketch "Eating Noodles", which truly became an actor known by the people of the whole country.
After that, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage seven times, bringing the audience many classic sketches such as "Protagonist and Supporting Role", "Policeman and Thief", "Pepper Noodles" and so on.
At that time, Zhao Benshan had not yet become famous, and Chen Peisi also became the hottest comedian because of this, and there was no one.
In 1999, Chen Peisi left the Spring Festival Gala stage due to a lawsuit dispute with CCTV, and for twenty years, the audience never saw his sketches again.
But countless people also understand in their hearts that Chen Peisi does not need to prove his ability through the stage, and his artistic attainment is so high that we all have a scale in our hearts.
At the end of last year, Chen Peisi participated in the variety show "Gold Medal Comedy Class" as a mentor, and he also returned to CCTV after twenty years.
Seeing Chen Peisi standing on the CCTV stage again, this indescribable emotion surrounded the hearts of many viewers.
Twenty years have passed, Chen Peisi is much older, but in the hearts of many viewers, he is still the same as he was then.
Recently, the 67-year-old Chen Peisi participated in the "Round Table Pie", watching him talk about his father and son on the show, although it is only a bland narrative, but it makes people feel the principle of joyful life, perhaps, this is the core of true comedy.

8. Li Baotian's son Li Yu
As a national first-class actor, Li Baotian's achievements may be one of the most numerous actors in today's show business circle.

Li Baotian's son is the actor Li Yu, who debuted for 26 years and is also a professional actor known to the public.
In a sense, Li Yu's acting career is no longer as good as his father Li Baotian, but his acting skills are indeed underestimated by many audiences.
Since 1995, when he first played with his father in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", Li Yu has always appeared as a small person.
Qiu Qianling in "The Legend of the Archery Hero" and the South Sea Crocodile God in "Tianlong Babu" are all characters worth mentioning li Yu.
Moreover, Li Yu's best is comedy, his performance is external, through exaggerated body and facial expressions, the role is vividly interpreted, on the basis of funny skills, Li Yu is still quite outstanding.
In fact, through so many examples of the second generation of stars, it is not difficult for us to find that the more and more tortuous the second generation of stars often experiences, the greater the possibility of surpassing their parents.
And the reason for this, it is not difficult to analyze, such as Chen Peisi, Ge You's generation they rely on strength red, they know what they should do, but also suffer, so in many cases, invisible pressure has often become their motivation to surpass their parents.
But also, the current second generation of stars, without any setbacks and growth, the traffic era of them, only need to have a fixed fan support is enough to live a stable life, the same reason, naturally led to in the eyes of many audiences, the current star generation generally have no acting skills.
