A little different from inspirational films, Dapeng's life script begins with a lonely and unlearned "left-behind child".
On the contrary, he had good character and excellent grades, and he listened to his parents' advice in college and was admitted to Jilin Jianzhu University, intending to become a construction engineer after graduation.
In junior high school, he fell in love with rock and roll, and in his sophomore year of high school, he took a classmate and sold songs all the way from his small city of Ji'an to Dalian.
According to Dapeng's recollection, the most impressive thing about his youth was the north-facing window of his room and everything he looked out of the window.
He participated in an issue of Life In Adventures.
When he returned to his grandmother-only home with one of the boys, Chen Yang, looking at the stone-stacked stove and the old bedding, Dapeng couldn't help but gush out his heartache, because he remembered his childhood.
Later, a boy of the same age from out of town, who stayed in the town for only two months, made him feel frustrated for the first time.
Dapeng summed up that person in one word, that is, "high match".
He was like a call from a distant clock tower, bringing Dapeng out of the town's dream and connecting him to the outside world.
He began to feel inferior, which became more and more noisy after he left his hometown, and turned into fear.
When one day you go out and come to a strange city, facing the huge pressure of work, you find that we are just a humble foreigner, with no sense of existence in the vast city.
No matter how hard you try, the dream in your heart seems to be a little out of reach, but you have no way to retreat, you can only continue to stumble.
Perhaps, this is also the current situation of Dapeng's life, and it is also you and me.
In the blink of an eye, Dong Chengpeng will face graduation employment, the family hopes that he can find a professional job, but the music he has never been able to put down, under the recommendation of a female netizen he has never met, he bought a ticket and went to a record company.
After arriving, it was found that the record company did not look at talent, did not look at the image, first charged 270,000 cooperation fees, the obvious scam but deceived Dong Chengpeng, who only had music, and as a result, the 30,000 huge amounts of money he had painstakingly collected were not left.
Sure enough, those who pay the money first are deceitful, and they need to be cautious.
In the history of Dapeng's struggle, there are highlight moments of luck, but more difficulties are polished by reality.
In 2006, Dapeng volunteered to be on "Star Online", and since then, he has turned around behind the scenes.
But the good times were not long, the new director at that time said that he would replace him, and if he wanted to stay, he would have a competitiveness that others did not have.
Dapeng began to play to his advantages in the show, singing, playing guitar, actively interacting with netizens, and gaging jokes.
Until the director told him that after no longer changing people, he was drunk, whether he was angry or not, fortunate or not, he did not want to be replaced, and "Beneficiary" desperately lived, not willing to give up a customer Wu Hai, highly overlapping.
He once said:
"I think presence is important, even if there is no sense of accomplishment, there must be a sense of presence.
The sense of accomplishment is a high-level goal, the sense of presence is the basic motivation, I can't do a bunch of work, and in the end no one knows what I'm doing. ”
In order to find a sense of existence, he has always chosen to rent.
Where Sohu is, his home is.
As the news host of Sohu, every year at the Spring Festival Gala, Dapeng has to go to the front to report the news.
In 2009, he first met Teacher Zhao Benshan in the background of the Spring Festival Gala.
That year, Teacher Benshan took Xiao Shenyang and Ya Egg to perform "Not Bad Money", and Dapeng was a member of the Sohu Video Spring Festival Gala reporting team.
Because of his work, Dapeng has presided over the opening ceremony of the Liu Laogen Grand Stage in Beijing and other related activities.
Zhao Benshan later said that it was because he saw Dapeng's efforts that he wanted to take him as an apprentice.
In "Di Si Men", we see that Dapeng does not take the usual route, he will do all kinds of spoof things, and he dares to come out with anything ugly.
And this is the result of his accumulation in the host world.
Once a Chinese variety show, the popular game link, the pursuit of on-field variety effects, to make an ugly mess to win the audience's attention.
Who wants to be ugly?
Pushing and shoving, or Dapeng the scalp.
Labeling yourself, though, is always the first step — because it lets the audience know what the actor is doing.
Therefore, the entertainment industry will have a lot of actors, such as tough guys, idols and so on
The little people are the first label that Dapeng gives himself.
From work, to life, to emotions, dapeng in "Di Si Men" has become the likeness of many people in society.
It is because of the success of "Di Si Men" that Dapeng was crowned as a comedian.
Also due to the continuous improvement of popularity, Dapeng began to shoot many comedy movies, comedy sketches, and funny variety shows.
In fact, during the hosting of "Dapeng Bo Bar", relying on his good popularity, he has already met many celebrities, which is not difficult to imagine why there will be a star-studded phenomenon in "Pancake Man".
In 2015, he entered the film industry again and began to prepare for his own Virgo "Pancake Man".
Fans looked at the faces of Dapeng and the stars, walked into the cinema, and went away with excitement and disappointment.
"Pancake Man" was subjected to the "verbal criticism" of professionals and fans, which made Dapeng a big hit.
In this movie, Dapeng won the box office, but lost word of mouth.
Dapeng, who had been stabbed and hurt, was still flying against the wind.
In honor of his musical dreams, he made a second film, The Sewing Machine Band, which was a big step professionally compared to Pancake Man, but the box office was not satisfactory.
In the face of suffering, we are still full of yearning for the future.
Remember the movie "The Sewing Machine Band" has a song that is sung like this:
"Burn yourself for the dream, and don't let the banal breathing go by." What I want is not here, and the answer you give is meaningless. ”
This lyric truly writes out the mentality of Dapeng who is not willing to be ordinary and has the courage to chase dreams.
Dapeng endured various psychological gaps and blows, but he became more and more courageous in the road of acting.
Finally, in 2018, Dapeng won the Golden Horse Award for his short film "Auspicious".
Rather than saying that Dapeng likes to highlight his work from the perspective of a small person, he is expressing himself in another way.
Dapeng comedy, like Huang Bo comedy, Shen Teng comedy and Deng Chao comedy, has a clear personal style. Not to say that the laughter is not high or not, but there is always an original, small character tragedy core.
Dapeng once said, "I like to immerse myself in creation more than performance, and even feel that my acting skills are not worthy of my own creation." I always feel that Dapeng is making movies with the same successful model, playing roles in the same successful model, and then slowly moving towards unsuccessful.
Entering the entertainment circle, Dapeng can have a good hand of cards, that is his luck, to break the good cards, that is he is uneasy about the status quo to seek new breakthroughs, can gradually play the rotten cards that have been broken, that shows that Dapeng is a person with pursuits, listening to all kinds of criticisms from others.
There is a line in the movie "Pancake Man" that says: "What kind of person you want to be, you will become what kind of person."
This sentence actually omits a lot of the hardships in the process, what kind of person you want to become, what kind of things you have to do, so that you can become that kind of person.
If you also want to be that ideal self, take advantage of your youth and let it go!
