In the Spring Festival of 1995, the CCTV Gala, a popular "Chinese Folk Song", attracted the audience in front of the TV set to hum along.
The singing boy is called Sun Hao, a common name, and he looks very inconspicuous.
After the Spring Festival Gala, you can hear "Chinese Folk Songs" everywhere in the north and south of the river, and the cheerful melody is catchy, even if you can't sing, you can also hum a few words.
Just when everyone thought that Sun Hao would become a top musician in China with this song, he "disappeared" from the song world.
After "disappearing", Sun Hao did not withdraw from the circle, but changed careers and began to act.
TV series such as "Idle Centaur Big Sister", "Great Han Tianzi", "Ping Trace Hero Shadow" and other TV series can see Sun Hao's figure. It's just that they are all supporting characters.
Until 2021, the role of Hu Xiaowei, the police station chief in the TV series "Sweeping The Black Storm", Sun Hao, as an actor, was well known to more people.
From the big red singer, to the actor who does not have much drama, and then to the slow recognition, this road, Sun Hao has walked for 20 years.
In the face of the change of identity, Sun Hao said, "I have been red, and I have no regrets. Singing and acting are all jobs that I love, and I will try to do my best. While acting, I didn't forget to sing. ”

In 1985, 16-year-old Sun Hao graduated from junior high school and entered a factory in his hometown, becoming one of thousands of "screws".
Although the black skinny Sun Hao is not outstanding in appearance, a pair of thick eyebrows makes him look particularly energetic, plus he likes to sing since he was a child, Sun Hao was selected by the factory to enter the propaganda team.
The propaganda team did not just sing, but also had to work like other workers. On holidays, there are some celebrations in the factory, or there are some celebrations in the local government, and the publicity team can represent the factory to participate in the activities.
This kind of life is already very good for Sun Hao, not so tired, and can still sing.
Gradually, Sun Hao sang a little fame in the propaganda team in the factory, and there were local singing competitions, and the factory elected Sun Hao to participate.
It was also because of participating in the singing competition that Sun Hao encountered an opportunity to change his fate, and he almost missed it.
After that competition, Sun Hao, as one of the two contestants selected by Xi'an City, went to Chengdu to participate in the Grand Prix for Pop Singers in Large and Medium-sized Cities.
When he arrived in Chengdu, Sun Hao stayed in the small hotel arranged by the organizers, and several people came to knock on the door.
They said that they were teachers at the Central Conservatory of Music, and felt that Sun Hao's voice conditions were quite good, and asked him if he would like to apply for the alto examination and continue his studies.
Sun Hao's first reaction was a liar, such a young man with no background, how could He De be favored by such a big coffee?
Sun Hao rejected them in disgust, and after preparing for the game, he continued to return to the factory as his own propagandist.
The next day, listening to his peers talking, Sun Hao realized how important an opportunity he had missed.
Those people are indeed the big names in the music industry, and the female teacher named Wang Xiangzhu is the wife of the composer Wang Mo.
Songs such as "Unforgettable Tonight", "Sister Finds Brother Tears", and "Velvet Flowers" composed by Wang Mo are classics sung in the music industry to this day.
Sun Hao, who regretted it, quickly took out a pen and paper to write a letter, first admitting that he had the mistake of not knowing Tarzan with his eyes, and then expressing his determination to learn music and sing.
After several twists and turns, the letter finally reached the hands of Master Wang Mo. In this way, Sun Hao went to Beijing, became a student of the first pop singer star class of the Central Conservatory of Music, and began to study music theory professionally and systematically.
Here, while Sun Hao was learning music, he also had the opportunity to "electrocute" for the first time.
In 1990, Shi Lanya, who starred in "Siege of the City" with Chen Daoming, wanted to make a movie that reflected the plot of the singing and dancing literary and artistic circles, "The Emperor Superstar".
The male protagonist is a young man who loves to dance, and he has not found a suitable candidate for a while. It just so happened that a friend knew Sun Hao and recommended him to play this role.
The first acting is the male protagonist, 21-year-old Sun Hao, with unlimited vision for the future, plunged into the entertainment circle, waiting for him, will it be a colorful star life?

Born in 1969, Sun Hao's parents were ordinary workers, and they did not think that their son would be able to eat the bowl of star rice in the future.
In the expectations of their parents, their son Sun Hao went to school, like them, entered the factory as a worker, found a girl who knew the roots to marry and live a life, and a stable and plain life was the future they could imagine.
However, Sun Hao was not willing to accept this.
Sun Hao has been lively since childhood, is a wild child in the eyes of neighbors, and is also a child king in the eyes of his peers.
Every day after school, with his friends running and frolicking on the city walls of Xi'an, Sun Hao spent his childhood.
By chance, Sun Hao went to School in Beijing, studied music, and acted in movies. This experience made Sun Hao feel that a better future was beckoning to himself.
During the period of learning in the alto, Sun Hao was particularly energetic, coupled with a cheerful personality, sincere, and met a group of good friends.
In 1994, the annual Young Singers Grand Prix began, and Sun Hao signed up to test his learning achievements.
At the end of the competition, Sun Hao won the third place in the popular singing group with a song "Chinese Folk Song".
If the previous competitions were amateur and small, then this professional singer competition, although it was only the third place, such results were enough to make Sun Hao proud.
At the Spring Festival Gala in 1995, Sun Hao stood on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time and sang his famous work "Chinese Folk Songs" with Chen Hong.
The songs are cheerful and accompanied by children's voices. As soon as it was sung on the Stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it was loved by audiences of all ages.
This average-looking, small-skinned young man became a household star.
Subsequently, Sun Hao launched his first music album "Old Friend, How Are You", which won the gold medal of the MTV China Music and Television Grand Prix.
In 1998, Sun Hao once again appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, singing the song "Pop Wind". However, the song did not "pop".
This time, the Spring Festival Gala stage was not as successful as before, and Sun Hao saw this change very clearly.
At this time, he had the opportunity to change from singer to actor.
Several times on the Spring Festival Gala, Sun Hao got acquainted with Cai Ming, who often attended the Spring Festival Gala. Both love to laugh and quickly become good friends.
Cai Ming starred in the sitcom "Idle Centaur Big Sister", and La Sun Hao came to make a cameo.
For acting, Sun Hao gradually found confidence. Not long after, in Huang Xiaoming and Chen Daoming's costume TV series "Han Tianzi", he played Cao Shou, the husband of Princess Pingyang.
Although there are friends in the circle who take care of it, and there are scenes that introduce a supporting role, after all, it is not a protagonist who can pick a beam. As an actor, Sun Hao has not many plays to take and has limited income.
People always have to survive, and Sun Hao, who is idle, decides to engage in his old business, singing in Beijing bars and KTV.
Sun Hao, who has always been a good popularity, became a fierce enemy with his peer Yang Kun because of one thing, and he did not interact with each other for twenty years.

After filming "The Great Han Tianzi", Sun Hao also made many friends in the actor's circle and also met Wang Haiyan.
During the small talk, it was learned that Sun Hao and Zhang Jiayi were fellow countrymen. Under the recommendation of Wang Haiyan, Sun Hao met Zhang Jiayi, and the two soon became good friends.
Fellow villagers meet, especially cordial, Sun Hao often and Zhang Jiayi Wang Haiyan husband and wife party.
At a party, after a few glasses of wine, Sun Hao said his dilemma.
"I left my parents and went to Beijing to look for dreams, and I went to the Spring Festival Gala, which is also red. But now there is no one listening to songs, and acting can't find a day to start. ”
Sun Hao said and said, it was difficult to hide his loss. In fact, his confusion, Zhang Jiayi can especially understand.
Zhang Jiayi has been acting in his hometown of Xi'an for more than ten years, and only when he arrived in Beijing did he have the opportunity to emerge and become the male number one with his excellent acting skills.
He decided to help this fellow.
Usually hearing what plays in the industry lack a role, Zhang Jiayi thought of Sun Hao for the first time and strongly recommended him to act.
Later, Zhang Jiayi pulled Sun Hao to his own brokerage company and signed a contract with him.
Since then, they have begun to cooperate side by side with fellow villagers of similar age.
"One Servant and Two Lords", "Cliff", "Houhai Is Not the Sea", "White Deer Plain", "Loading Stage" and other TV series can see Sun Hao's figure.
In "Cliff", Sun Hao played a stunned young policeman. People who don't know think that he deliberately performed this look, but in fact, in private, Sun Hao really did not have much confidence.
After all, this drama is a big production, and the cooperation is all zhang jiayi song jia such an acting school, if you do not perform well, drag your fellow countrymen.
But fortunately, Sun Hao's performance is quite good, and he has played the feeling of the character's stunned Qing.
Although Sun Hao now has a lot of scenes, in fact, when there was no drama in the early years, he had to sing in some large nightclubs or KTV in Beijing. Because of his good friends and cheerfulness, Sun Hao also served as the music director of KTV.
Sun Hao's nightclub is not small in scale, with sound and color, including well-known singers Such as Man Jiang and Zero Point Band, and is a famous music venue in Beijing.
Once, the nightclub owner brought a person to see if Sun Hao could stay and sing at the nightclub.
This person is Yang Kun.
Sun Hao listened to Yang Kun sing a few songs on the spot and felt that his unique voice would be a big highlight, but whether to leave him or not made Sun Hao difficult.
At that time, Sun Hao already had two fixed singers under him, and everyone had worked together for many years, and if Yang Kun was left, it was inevitable that the original singer would be fired.
After several trade-offs, Sun Hao decided to keep the original singer and rejected Yang Kun.
In Yang Kun's view, Sun Hao was careful, afraid that he would rob Sun Hao of the limelight, and the two would fight each other from then on.
Later, Yang Kun with a "It Doesn't Matter" fire, Sun Hao saw yang Kun have such achievements, but also happy for him. After all, as a peer, I also know that it is very difficult to survive.
But the two did not have much opportunity to explain the misunderstanding face to face, and for twenty years, Sun Hao and Yang Kun were different.
Until many years later, in the show, Sun Hao responded to this matter very seriously and generously, saying that he wanted to apologize to Yang Kun, and it was not jealous that Yang Kun failed to keep him.
It is also relatively rare to be able to face past misunderstandings and respond frankly. Although I don't know if Yang Kun will accept Sun Hao's apology. However, if he can take the initiative to say it, Sun Hao will be ashamed.
In the nightclub for many years, slowly the market changes, the nightclub is no longer as popular as it was then, Sun Hao also focused on acting, but he never forgot his old business.

When he and Zhang Jiayi collaborated on the TV series "Houhai Is Not the Sea", the main creative team was preparing to find someone to write several songs specifically for the play.
Zhang Jiayi pointed to Sun Hao, who was also in the crew, and said in passing, "Look for him, he will do this." ”
Thus, the theme song was settled. The producer asked Sun Hao how to quote the song, and Sun Hao hurriedly said, "How can I ask for money?" ”
In Sun Hao's view, the crew is willing to use their own songs, which is also an exercise for themselves. After all, in recent years, mainland music has been affected by the music of Hong Kong, Taiwan and foreign countries, and no one has listened to songs for a long time.
And being able to write songs for your own plays is a rare opportunity, of course, you can't collect money.
In this way, Sun Hao wrote his understanding of the stories of the characters in the play into a song "Raise this glass of wine" and sang it himself.
Later, as long as Sun Hao participated in the play, everyone did not need to say much, they all knew that he could write and sing, and the song was entrusted to him.
In the 2019 TV series "Loading the Stage", Sun Hao wrote "No Worries" and "I Treat Life Like First Love";
In the 2021 broadcast of "Sweeping Black Storm", Sun Hao wrote the interlude "Brothers" in the film.
"Now basically as long as I participate in the play, the song is contracted by me."
Speaking of this matter, Sun Hao was still a little proud, "Near the water tower platform first get the moon." Filming did not waste their old business, quite satisfied. ”
And "Sweeping Black Storm" is also the most out of the circle since Sun Hao engaged in acting.
Hu Xiaowei, the police station chief he plays, is a small director who was promoted from the bottom, and originally he also had a sense of justice and conscience.
However, with the promotion of his position, he was accustomed to various black incidents in the system, and he slowly became corrupt and became an accomplice of criminals.
And his biggest weakness is that he wants to be promoted one more level, but the power of this life and death is in the hands of people he can't afford to offend, so one wrong step at a time, one wrong step at a time.
Sun Hao is well integrated into the role, playing the sense of responsibility of Hu Xiaowei's profession, and at the same time repeatedly compromises for his own selfish interests, which eventually causes a catastrophe, resulting in the death of Xu Yingzi's sister and brother Xu Xiaoshan.
What makes the audience most relish is that Hu Xiaowei often holds a thermos cup in his hand, which is soaked with red dates and goji berries. Every time he drank water, Hu Xiaowei always forgot to take out the red dates in the cup and eat them.
This small act confirms the character's characteristics of coming from poverty and thriftiness.
And this small action was added by Sun Hao to the director when shooting according to his observations in daily life.
This role can be liked by so many people, and Sun Hao said that he is very satisfied.
"Later, someone finally knew about the actor Sun Hao."
On February 21, the web drama "Break Friends Bar Daddy" starring Sun Hao was successful. I believe that today's Sun Hao, the control of the role will become more and more comfortable.
I look forward to the early broadcast of this drama.
