Nowadays, the threshold of the entertainment industry is very low, and some sports champions have also joined the entertainment industry and become popular topic figures. Tian Liang, Liu Xuan, Sang Xue, Wang Junxia is one of the representatives, today's talk about this was also an Olympic champion, debuted by Huayi Brothers spent 200 million to praise, but so far not popular, he is the artist Yuan Xiaochao.
Yuan Xiaochao was born in 1988 in Yuncheng, Shandong, the hometown of Water Margin heroes Song Jiang and Chao Gai. Yuan Xiaochao has had a high talent in martial arts since childhood, and began to practice martial arts at the Songjiang Martial Arts School at the age of 10. Later, he had the honor to participate in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and won the gold medal in long boxing.
After Winning the Gold Medal, Yuan Xiaochao quickly gained media attention, frequently attended various variety shows, and then received attention from major film and television companies. In 2012, Huayi Brothers spent 200 million yuan to create the kung fu movie "Taiji 1: Starting from Scratch" "Taiji 2: The Rise of Heroes", Yuan Xiaochao served as the male number one tai chi master Yang Luchan, played by Liang Jiahui, Angelababy, Peng Yuyan and others, Yuan Xiaochao can be described as unlimited scenery. He was praised by the media as "a new generation of kung fu stars" and "Jet Li's successor".
However, as the most expensive newcomer in Huayi's history, yuan Xiaochao's two "Tai Chi" films starring Yuan Xiaochao only received 268 million yuan at the box office after their release, and Huayi Brothers, as an investor, suffered heavy losses. Yuan Xiao surpassed the unfavorable division and gradually disappeared into the public, until 2015, only to make a movie "Zixia", Yuan Xiaochao starred in the role of Wukong. However, after the release of the movie, it was equally tragic, with a Douban score of only 2.4 points.
Today, Yuan Xiaochao rarely appears, and the media almost no longer reports on him. As the saying goes, style does not separate families, some retired Olympic champions have joined the entertainment industry, want to use their prestige in the sports world to gain a place in the entertainment industry, but the mixed years have been tepid, until they disappeared. Brother Myna feels that it is not that the Olympic champions are not suitable for the show business circle, but their acting skills are not mature enough, if they can work hard to improve themselves and accumulate for several years, there will be greater development, if they do not understand this, it is difficult to stand in the show business circle. It is expected that Yuan Xiaochao will be able to gain momentum in the future and bring better works to the audience!
