Who is Gao Hanyu? What kind of person is he? What kind of story does he have? With the popularity of "Brother With Thorns", one question after another about Gao Hanyu has entered the public discussion space. Some people try to read his past growth process, and some people imagine a colorful future picture for him, but for Gao Hanyu himself, now is the time node for him to focus on, because the appearance of the moment is the most real answer.
And after the stand
2021, objectively and literally, is the beginning of the third 10 years of the 21st century. In the broad social context, this point in time has a more diverse subjective interpretation: for the post-00s born at the turn of the century, it marks the beginning of the year of the weak crown, and for Gao Hanyu, born in 1989, it is a door to the age of thirty-two. The door is pushed open, which means to keep going.
"I originally thought that after the age of thirty, I would have a successful career, get married and have children, have a house and a car, and live a comfortable life, but the result is still in the hard work." A result of "backfire" was told by Gao Hanyu in a relaxed tone, with frankness and humor mixed between the lines, just as he himself left an impression on the outside world.

But there was still a string in his heart that was tightening. In the face of the time left behind, Gao Hanyu realized that "the time left for himself is running out." Therefore, he decided to grasp every minute and every second, and write the thoughts that haunted his heart into reality. And in the inner list of things that need to be completed urgently, returning to the stage is undoubtedly the top one.
When others talk about Gao Hanyu, most of them will classify it as an "actor". The daring bear boy Xuanyuan in "Choosing Heaven", Bai Yu hitomi, the leader of the special crime investigation team with courage and courage in "S.C.I. Mystery Case Collection", Jiang Feng, a personal bodyguard who is wise and courageous in "Fu Shao", and Yu Wenzhou, a stable e-sports professional in "Full-time Master"... These are all memory points created by Gao Hanyu in the public's mind.
But in fact, before entering the identity of an actor, Gao Hanyu also had a past related to singing and dancing, and participating in the competition was the beginning of this history. According to online information, Gao Hanyu first participated in the singing reality show "My Type I Show" in 2007, and along the way through the pass will rush into the top ten in the country. A year later, he stepped into the arena of "Absolute Singing" again and won the title of "Best Idol Popular Player".
In Gao Hanyu's view, standing out from the singing and dancing competition was the moment when he felt recognized for the first time. "When I first competed, I didn't think I had any talent, and I was an ordinary person at school." Gao Hanyu said frankly. But everyone's fate often has twists and turns and bizarre accidents, and among all the people who went to his school to compete, he thought he was ordinary and became the only one chosen by the times.
After that, Gao Hanyu joined the men's group HIT-5 to make his official debut. At that time, the "boy band" was not the darling of the times as in recent years, and the voices of doubt were endless. Gao Hanyu mentioned in a previous interview that the public was very unoptimistic about this team at that time, and regarded it as a copycat product of foreign boy bands. Although Gao Hanyu had hoped that HIT-5 could become the oldest group in China, the opportunity of the big era still made this idea only stay at the level of imagination, and the combination gradually faded out of the public eye.
After the team members left the entertainment circle, "I" replaced "we" as the main language of Gao Hanyu's continued writing story, and the career dynamic shift also shifted from singing and dancing singer to actor. Gao Hanyu once wrote on Weibo: When looking back, none of the people who had followed behind him were gone, and only he was still walking forward alone.
This year, it is the 6th year after the dissolution of the group, and Gao Hanyu is still a person. But he chose to temporarily turn from the road of acting and returned to the stage to participate in the recording of "Brother With Thorns". As the program copywriter writes, all "teenagers" are destined to be diluted by time, grow up very unsociable, and then stumble and grow old, but there must be someone who planted the seeds of flames. Now Gao Hanyu wants to return to the stage and let this flame burn vigorously, bringing light and heat to those onlookers.
For Gao Hanyu, acting brings more fun by playing others, while singing and dancing is to release all energy and enjoy every minute and second. Gao Hanyu's favorite singers since he was a child are all mainly engaged in singing and jumping directions, and under the influence of his ears, he has also developed a strong interest in singing and dancing. He confessed that he sang and danced out of pure love. "The first place I set foot in show business was the stage, and I started practicing singing and dancing without the idea of wanting to be a singer or a bean, but simply enjoying that feeling."
Crying people
At the time of the interview, the program had entered the second stage, and Gao Hanyu had presented three stage performances with different styles: "Lover", "MMA" and "Shoe King". When asked which stage he was most impressed with, he admitted that each work weighed equally in his heart. The final presentation to the audience may only be just 10 minutes, but to achieve the effect of broadcasting, there are still many twists and turns along the way, which is both a time constraint and a team run-in. In the rhythm of rapid operation, Gao Hanyu encountered many moments of breaking defenses.
Gao Hanyu remembered that in the last section, he had secretly agreed with himself to avoid tears during the recording process. He said, "Before, at work, I would suddenly cry because of my emotions, which led to everyone calling me 'little crying bag' later, and I felt that I was quite faceless." Coming to this show that so many people watch, I was thinking that I must not expose such an image."
But later, as we can see, Gao Hanyu's tears still became the hot topic after the program was broadcast. Gao Hanyu admitted that he thought that after years of experience, he had been able to control his emotions better. But unexpectedly, in this kind of tight-paced reality show, it was instantly beaten back to its original form. "It's something I never thought about, but I accept that this is what I really look like. I couldn't hide it, and I couldn't hide it, because that was me. He continued.
Looking back on his career history, Gao Hanyu believes that each period is more of a setback than recognition. And those obscure moments in the past are basically supported by the support given by fans, "Every time you want to give up on yourself, you will always find that someone still recognizes you and silently supports you with invisible forces."
In addition, in the face of difficulties, Gao Hanyu will also exert subjective initiative to make himself grow. On the one hand, he will review each work in depth to avoid repeating the same mistakes, on the other hand, he will be strict with himself, so that he can always be in an ideal state, so as to seize the opportunity that comes unexpectedly.
I asked him, what do you really want to get by working so hard?
The writer Hrabar once said, "Although my path is overgrown with weeds from beginning to end, I am the only one who has witnessed my life." ”
For life, especially a life with many twists and turns, people will always imagine going back to the past, trying to change their choices in order to achieve stability and smoothness, but Gao Hanyu does not have these thoughts. On the contrary, he found meaning in his testimony again and again, "Whether the past is right or wrong, I need to experience and feel, otherwise it is impossible to grow into myself." 」 ”
In the showbiz circle of ups and downs, there are too many uncertainties to deal with, but Gao Hanyu did not choose to hesitate, because stopping means that even the possibilities are snuffed out. In his view, the best moment is not the past, nor the future, but every step taken in the present.
