Why can Chen Xiaochun be red? From time to time, naïve viewers will bring up this question.
Indeed, in recent years, he has appeared on the TV screen more often as Jasper's father or Ying Caier's husband, and even "The Brother Who Cut through the Thorns" is "his wife let him come".
In the show business circle for half a lifetime, it is no wonder that Chen Xiaochun Kaichu exuded a "come to the pension" atmosphere in the show. Until the personal battle stage of Sigong, Chen Xiaochun interpreted a song "Count You Cruel" to "Lingli Zunzi".
Some people saw the absurdity, saw the clown's madness, and some people saw the enlarged version of Jasper eating dragon fruit. / Screenshot of "Brother In Thorns"
He danced alone on the stairs in a Joker costume, singing "a cup of two pots, choking tears" and "good guys don't look back" in a unique voice, absurd, weird, and dashing, making people get goosebumps.
Perhaps it was at this moment that people remembered that Chen Xiaochun, who looked tired and sleepy and wanted to lie flat, and always had a question mark face, turned out to be really an old artist.
Back to the original question, why can Chen Xiaochun be red?
If you use conclusions to deduce, it is very simple. A pheasant, a Wei Xiaobao, many National Cantonese bilingual songs, he has created a classic with enough weight in the film and television songs.
If you go back to himself, the answer to the question is also in that song:
"You have to learn from that Chen Xiaochun who has repeatedly lost battles."

There are thousands of handsome men
But Chen Xiaochun is unique
The entertainment circle with a hundred flowers can only be remembered by a few people.
They either have a face value that makes people look at ten thousand years, or their acting skills and singing skills are outstanding, or they have good temperament and high emotional intelligence, and everyone likes to give him a show.
Strictly speaking, Chen Xiaochun does not belong to any of the above categories.

He is born with a "fierce face", the corners of his mouth naturally droop when he is not smiling, and even his facial muscles have a cynical trend.
Old friend Zheng Yijian recalled the first time he met Chen Xiaochun on the set in the show, and jokingly used the term "roe deer head rat eye" to describe him.
It is said that when they filmed the first "People in the Jianghu" of "Ancient Puzzle Boy", Chen Xiaochun, who had a heavier smell, was mistaken for a "true member of the society" by the patrol police or the masses, causing a lot of embarrassment.
It is difficult to expect that Chen Xiaochun's temper who looks like this can be good to an extent. He has always been known for his "grumpiness", the kind that Hong Kong paparazzi are afraid of.
Ying Cai'er often complained that he had a "mild language barrier", and even more so when he was anxious- the corners of his mouth pulled down harder, smashed a paragraph of "Thai" that almost no one could understand, and then ended with "Meh-".
And the explosion that impressed the audience across the country was only because Xiao Xiaochun walked too slowly in "Where Daddy Goes", and he had to rush home to cook.
Anyone who watches the tense scene of breathing pause for two seconds is said by the son: "Can you stop angry now?" The fire was extinguished, and Chen Xiaochun quickly apologized.
However, this short few minutes of interaction was amplified through the program, which in turn triggered a heated discussion among the people of the whole country on the relationship between father and son and family education, and Chen Xiaochun suddenly became popular again.

This is not the first time he has "bumped into great luck". Back 30 years ago, TVB talent was abundant, and those who looked more handsome and fierce than Chen Xiaochun may only be able to mix with a supporting role, or have been tied to the villain's bench for many years since then.
However, he has the opportunity to become the protagonist and is given a vivid story of pheasant and Wei Xiaobao. These characters are cynical, but they are sentient and righteous, and it is not so much that Chen Xiaochun has played them, but rather that the cute side of Chen Xiaochun's personality has been conveyed to the audience through these identities.
The 98th edition of "Deer DingJi", Chen Xiaochun and Ma Junwei, are considered by fans to be the best Xiao Guizi and Xiao Xuanzi.
And when Chen Xiaochun carried the image of Gu Qiuzai to sing, he opened his mouth and created another picture, singing the pain of lost love.
According to the theory, singers who are "not known for their singing skills" and "non-creative" have a big grasp in the music world, but Chen Xiaochun has created the "dog licking pie", and eventually becomes the "spare tire song king" in the hearts of thousands of fans.

The first person to help him create this image was Bao Xiaobai. In 1998, "Ancient Puzzle Boy" has been filmed for the fifth part, and the new version of "Deer Ding" has also identified Chen Xiaochun as the protagonist candidate, and Bao Xiaobai was invited to redesign the singer image for Chen Xiaochun. The previous roles are too deeply rooted in people's hearts, but it makes it difficult to break through.
But in the end, the solution of the puzzle is also quite casual. According to archaeology, Bao Xiaobai, who was in a state of distress, inadvertently saw a male dog on the side of the road, loyal, honest, silly, and quite Chen Xiaochun.
Singing such a scene uncritically into the song is the song "Man and the Male Dog": "A dog sits alone in the mouth of the freshwater river, shouting that we all want a girlfriend... I'm willing to shake my tail and shake my head for love..."
Such a tragic song was written by Jay Chou.
To sum up in Bao Xiaobai's own words, singer Chen Xiaochun's positioning is to move Wang Laowu, who has no diamonds in the whole world. The title and prelude of the song carry a sense of despair that comes from the face-
It seems that without thinking, we know that "No That Kind of Life" is followed by "She has no reason to fall in love with me", and "God Save Me" is followed by "A handful of age, not a lover is there".
Obviously, it is a naked and unbearable heart-wrenching word, and after Chen Xiaochun's careless voice, it has achieved the highest on-demand rate of the year.
The public account has analyzed that Li Shengjie, who sang "My last love for you is to let go of my hand", is actually also the king of licking dog songs, but his voice is too gorgeous and less flawed; Lin Youjia also became popular by singing his "I love people, not my lovers", but people look better and have less sincerity.
After watching "Brother With Thorns and Thorns", some fans said that Chen Xiaochun has changed and has not changed.
Now open the music software, Chen Xiaochun's legendary golden song below, the bitter love story belonging to ordinary people is still being updated. Those who are playing the songs of Jay Chou, Lin Junjie and Eason Chan during the day may also hide in the bed at night and shed tears because of Chen Xiaochun's songs.
Only Chen Xiaochun is earthy, true enough, and humble enough to make the listener feel, "Obviously he doesn't use any skills to sing, but you can believe that what he sings is true"; only he can be named "The King of Lost Love" by Huang Weiwen; and only he can make the Chinese music scene leave Jay Chou and Lin Xi's "Dedication".
It can be said that before and after the advent of the 21st century, Chen Xiaochun has proved his unique characteristics with his works, and even Xinhua Net has commented that he "sings lost love and sings bitterness in the music world; the film industry plays a hero and plays a jerk; the TV series is humorous and witty, funny and long, and draws a big life for his artistic career circle."

Friendship years
It was simmered over an old fire
For a long time, Chen Xiaochun was a man with his own BGM.
When he walks to the stage from the darkness as a member of the Greater Bay Area boy band, the program team will definitely let go of "I will break in and look up to the crowd".
When he and his brothers hook up and look at each other, it is easy for the audience to make up a few words on their own, "To forget the wrong and right, to remember the past, and it is always fun to spend the difficult days together."
When he smiled shyly and bent his eyes because he was shy, we seemed to cross back to the one where he sang, "You don't let go of me, I don't let go of you, I want to make sure I hold the same arm every day", Ying Cai'er danced "with her teeth and claws" offstage, behind her, the brothers sang in harmony with their wives' nickname "Tintin".
80% of the uploaders on the Internet named the video: she was making a fuss, he was laughing.
From "Gone with the Wind" to "Red Man", Chen Xiaochun seems to be trapped in these melodies forever.
In fact, in addition to the pheasant and Wei Xiaobao, he has many other wonderful interpretations -
His debut as a young man who squandered his youth in "Late Nine Dynasties and Five Dynasties" won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Cooperate with Lin Zixiang in "Forty Guys", and there is also a side that will pretend to be cute and know how to be spoiled.

The male girlfriend in "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" and the Keiichi Sudo in "Head Text D" are equally impressive.
This film has Jay Chou, Chen Guanxi, Yu Wenle, and Chen Xiaochun has not lost. /Head Text D
On the contrary, "Ancient Puzzle Boy" is "not applauded", and occasionally it will be brought out to question "whether it is a bad film" and "whether it will teach bad children", "Deer Ding" was not tepid when it was first broadcast, and Chen Xiaochun was scolded as "old and ugly".
When Liu Weiqiang made this series of "postmodern" gangster films, it did not conform to traditional values, and there was no convincing story and experience to support the characters, and even the extremely high-content action scenes were filmed a little roughly.
But the pheasant's sentence "It doesn't matter if I am a Hongxing person, Chen Haonan will always be my eldest brother" is enough to make people feel excited.
"People in the jianghu, brotherhood is the greatest", instead of letting the actors "cut" the flesh and blood blurred and fragmented, it is better to just hit a lighter to show the blood and tension of the city, and the director actually knows this well.
The human touch is also reflected in Xiao Bao. Wei Xiaobao can be said to be the most complex and realistic character in Jin Yong's pen, and the black and white heroic morality in him is no longer valid.
He grew up in a brothel, entered the palace, and was a "barbarian in civilized society." Jin Yong said that Xiao Bao "stole and abducted, bragged and patted horses, and did everything", but let him walk the rivers and lakes, and his loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness were all gone.
In the adaptation of Chen Xiaochun's version, Xiao Bao's friendship with Shuang'er's Qingmei Bamboo Horse, And the friendship between Xiao Guizi and Xiao Xuanzi are the highlights of the whole play.
Superb acting skills can indeed amaze time, but the precipitation of years can also make the questioned become a classic, and the strong human touch that does not disperse may be the reason.
Therefore, every time the ancient puzzle boys get together again, they will be said to be "consumer feelings", but as long as they still stand in a row and sing on each other's shoulders, there will still be people who will buy it. So to this day, Chen Xiaochun's "Deer Ding" is still the version that most conforms to the original work in the hearts of the audience.
The movie "Pancake Man" also "consumes" Gu Qiuzi, but it can also move people.
And how could Chen Xiaochun not know the power behind those feelings that could withstand the flow of years. In an interview, he said that he preferred to call Zheng Yijian, Laughing Brother and Ah Lo as "old friends", "Brothers are like hot pots, and old friends are Buddhas jumping off the wall, which need to be slowly stewed." ”
The latter was clearly more appetizing to him.
03
Star? Who's the star? Ming Star?
Chen Xiaochun, who is more than half a hundred years old, has changed from a grumpy youth to "Uncle Ma Dongmei".
His impatience in the show is to frown and launch a sheep attack, "Single-handed-pick--single-click--" Doesn't look very wise.
Ying Cai'er has also officially certified his ingenuity in public many times: "Intelligence is a talent, kindness is a choice." I feel like he made his own choice. ”
When he was a child, his father would lock him in the house with an iron lock. In a later interview, he said that he had never hated his father, and that "if it wasn't for him, I might have really become the ancient boy in the movie."
As a teenager, my father brought the whole family to Hong Kong to work hard, and because he could not stand the rhythm of life in a foreign country, he threw the family back to his hometown, and Chen Xiaochun, who was in charge of the house early, moved bricks, ran through the church, and also became Tony, and saw a lot of people's cold and warm. When it was difficult, the restaurant owner once forced him to swallow the flies in the dish in order to please the customers.
Chen Xiaochun's "Singing and Dancing Trainee" experience.
When I first came to Hong Kong, the family lived in a cage house near the airport. Chen Xiaochun recalled in the interview with the characters that he did not feel bitter at that time, he could make money, had a home, a bed, and no wind and rain, he felt satisfied. "Watching the huge plane sweeping the city low, up to down, up and down, it is very happy."
Signing a contract with Wireless, he strives to make himself a dancer who will be scolded by his teacher and become a golden accompaniment dancer of a superstar. Mei Yanfang, Zhang Guorong, Tan Yonglin, these glittering backs, he looked at it for 7 years.
Chen Xiaochun danced with Mei Yanfang in the early days.
From his own efforts to win the "mountain chicken", which originally belonged to the role of Jin Chengwu, to today he has become a person who "covers" the ancient puzzle boys to go forward together, he said in the character interview: "I am very happy that from my debut to now, there have been many opportunities, a lot of work, and I have been doing it silently, just like a train, and after starting, I have been ticking and walking. ”
"In the past, Hong Kong was very popular to call singers, song stars, I am still in the sky, the stars are in the sky. Or called stars, ming what stars, now there is no star, the star is the past Mei Yanfang, Zhang Guorong, Andy Lau, these are the stars, now there is no, actors, singers, it is over. If only the audience could remember my name, Chen Xiaochun. ”
Who can twist more than "Flight Attendant Chen"?
Chen Xiaochun may indeed give up some "wisdom", he seems to be indisputable, but he knows what he wants; he has a temper, but he can restrain for special people; he seems to lie flat and eat the old book, but he is always ready to roll up and surprise everyone with a song "Count You Cruel".
He successfully allowed himself to live as the "Chen Xiaochun who repeatedly lost and fought", the "Chen Xiaochun who did not ask for anything and returned with a full load". Such multi-faceted, real, three-dimensional people, we have rarely seen on the screen.
