Broken by the cooperation between He Shengming and Feng Shaofeng again, it is like returning to the "Palace Lock Heart Jade" 11 years ago. However, after 11 years of going around, the two male actors who became popular from the same drama have different experiences.
Feng Shaofeng, the fire of the Shunfeng and Shunshui Buddhist system. He Shengming, up and down, struggled to hold on.
In 11 years, compared to Feng Shaofeng's unhurried and steady progress, He Shengming is more like a flash in the pan, brilliant and messy, but quickly disappeared.
In the eyes of the public, He Chenming's rapid passing is related to leaving Yu Zheng. But as everyone knows, understanding the ups and downs of his way will find that the "passing" seen by the audience is just He Shengming's backbone.
Although this man was not as bright as Feng Shaofeng's starry path, he lived out his own dignity.
Looking back, the first half of his life was like a roller coaster, but at the same time, he reached the peak and the end in this ups and downs.
The road is tortuous, the process is exciting, and after reaching the end and finding a destination, it is endlessly evocative.
01 Debut is the peak
In the eyes of most young audiences, He Shengming was popular on the silver screen through Yu Zheng's "Palace Lock Heart Jade", in fact, He Shengming became popular as early as 1997, which can be described as the peak of his debut.
When he was young, He Shengming (formerly known as He Min) liked to sing and dance, and after graduating from middle school, he ran to learn to dance, and then directly entered the dance hall as a singer. There, he not only had to enliven the atmosphere of the scene, but also had to face guests with different temperaments, sometimes drunken guests pointed their noses to let him go to the stage to dance, and he had to play with the background music.
Over time, his adaptability soared, and he could choreograph a dance in any song without any sense of violation.
It is precisely because of his superior ability and handsome and masculine appearance that He Shengming has been appreciated by Peng Liang and Yang Guang, who came to look for a dance partner.
Under their repeated introductions (flickering), He Shengming promised them to form a team, and the young and crazy they vowed to surpass grasshoppers to become the first group in China.
But the reality is that in the early days of the team, they did not have the opportunity to perform, and there was no olive branch from the big stage, and what they could do was to dance with the popular singers. Only when the singers get off the stage to change their clothes can they have their own stage to enliven the atmosphere of the scene.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is very cruel. The three teenagers who had sworn to the original vows were reduced to background boards, and could only imitate the Tigers and Grasshoppers on stage.
However, no experience in a person's life is useless, and there will always be a special period of experience that was not so wonderful, and that experience will become a valuable experience and wealth in life.
For He Shengming, the experience of dancing with singers has greatly improved their singing and dancing ability and stage performance ability, paving the way for future development.
So after the official establishment of the China Power Group in 1996, they only took a year to become popular all over the country with a song "EVERYDAY (every day)". A year later, they won the second place in the Global Chinese Singing Competition as a group, and in the same year they appeared at the Spring Festival Gala.
Handsome in appearance, business ability to resist fighting, and representative works. In just a few years, He Shengming has gone from being a performer who works hard for customers in discotheques to becoming a popular "fried chicken".
How hot was China's power at that time? Just say something funny and helpless.
After becoming famous, there are always Chinese forces on the stage of major commercial performances, but in fact, they are all lip-syncing fakes. Interestingly, these fake combinations were also personally bumped into by Peng Liang and exposed on the spot.
It has always been imitated, but it has never been surpassed.
To discuss, the combination of Chinese power is the first real idol group in the mainland, and its success not only breaks the pattern of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists monopolizing the mainland market, but also pushes He Chenming's career to the highest peak, and truly achieves the peak of debut.
02 The tragic price of harsh reality
It is reasonable to say that China's power became popular early, and its popularity at that time was not lost to the Little Tigers, but why are young audiences not familiar with them? This brings us to one of He Chenming's decisions.
After ascending to the Spring Festival Gala in 1998, He Shengming believed that China's power had developed to the peak, and it would be very difficult to break through. Coupled with the fact that someone was willing to make a personal record for him at that time, he could seek new developments to break the deadlock, so he decided to quit the group and choose to fly alone.
He Shengming's decision directly had two effects.
First, it has affected the development of China's power.
After He Shengming left, the Chinese power did not disband but joined Xu Feng to form the second generation of Chinese power. But even so, China's power can not return to the peak, it is like a broken vase, no matter how it is bonded, there are cracks.
Therefore, the company behind the continuous launch of the third generation and the fourth generation of Chinese power, but still can not change the status quo. The departure of C-bit He Shengming completely ruined the future development of China's power.
However, as teammates, Peng Liang and Yang Guang did not blame him, but expressed understanding and respect for He Shengming's decision. Years later, they also recorded the show together, just as harmoniously as when they formed the team.
Second, it affects its own future development.
After flying alone, He Shengming changed his name to He Weiqi, and thought that he could achieve better results in his personal capacity, but he never expected that the reality was so cruel.
With the popularity of China's strength, the first title song "Solo Fly" after the solo flight performed well, not only won 30 awards, but also was selected into the top ten golden songs of the year. He Shengming is regarded by the outside world as Aaron Kwok in the mainland, and the prospects are very good.
But after the scenery, He Shengming never got his hands on the works again, his popularity declined rapidly, and his career went all the way down. In just two years, he changed from a popular "fried chicken" to a passerby, and was even rumored to hold the thighs of a rich woman, because his girlfriend at the time was a "rich girl" who was 11 years older than him.
A decision that both makes China's power a thing of the past and puts itself in a dilemma.
Years later, He Shengming admitted that he did not understand the game of "flying alone without disbanding", but ended his combination career too hastily.
He has regretted it, blamed himself, and asked himself countless times: How good would it have been if he had not disbanded in the first place?
But at this point, He Shengming can only accept the result of everything returning to zero and starting again, and can only accept the popularity of the Little Tigers and grasshoppers and the end of the tears of the times.
The scenery is no longer, the singer's career is hurt, he can only find another source to be an actor, but he still runs into walls everywhere.
In 2004, He Shengming filmed his first play in his life, "Coconut Grove Beach Avenue East", and played the male number two in it. The appearance of this play became his "life-saving straw", and he desperately grasped it for fear of failure again, and pinned all his future expectations on this play.
But the result is still realistic, this play not only has no splash, but his youthful acting skills have also been criticized. Since then, he has not been able to shoot for three years, and even if there is a suitable role, he is missed because he has no acting experience.
In order to get more opportunities, he made another decision - to enter the Beijing Film Academy to study acting.
At that time, he had seen the most beautiful scenery in the entertainment industry, and he had also experienced the lowest valley of his life and seen the darkness, but he still did not hesitate to be a classmate with a group of young children at an age when he could have been a teacher. In his view, if you want to get back to the top, you need to correct your mentality.
But even so, no matter how strong He Chenming was in his heart, he could not withstand the test of reality.
Under the multiple pressures of the failure of the combination, the setback of the new way, and the lack of opportunity to learn acting, he Chenming, who was depressed, suffered a serious mental blow and suffering. For a long time he chose to be silent, or to drink heavily with a bunch of frustrated people, drinking until three or four o'clock in the morning.
Every time he came home drunk, he would persuade himself:
From frugality to luxury, from luxury to frugality, who can accept falling from the top?
However, forced by the pressure of life, He Shengming had to leave the magnesium lamp to choose to do behind-the-scenes work even if he had all kinds of helplessness and reluctance. At that time, he was close to the age of standing, letting go of everything, and really starting from scratch.
03 The appearance of Bo Le revived the dream of an actor
He Shengming, who turned from the front of the curtain to the visual supervision behind the scenes, took advertising and publicity photos for many star artists, and looked at their busy figures under the magnesium lamp as if they saw themselves at that time, and their hearts were full of reluctance and helplessness and powerlessness.
But he thought he had been working behind the scenes all his life, and soon ushered in a huge turnaround.
In 2007, He Shengming met Yu Zheng, a screenwriter who was just a nameless teenager at the time. After the two met, Yu Zheng was extremely excited, recognized He Shengming as a character in his script and strongly asked him to play.
Yu Zheng's attitude once again evoked the dream of an actor in He Shengming's heart that he was not willing to destroy.
However, at that time, where did Yu Zheng have the right to speak? The people who really have the right to speak are the investors and directors behind them. The results are still realistic, and no one is willing to use He Chenming.
Yu Zheng, who was talking big, was embarrassed, and He Shengming's dream was shattered again.
In order to make up for He Shengming, Yu highly recommended him to investors when he was preparing "Rose River Lake", but he was greeted with another sneer:
How can he play the male lead? Joke!
He Shengming felt ten thousand points of hurt, and the sworn Yu Front son could not hang up. A former artist has no commercial value, the male protagonist does not think, He Shengming can only play a small supporting role.
But it is such a small supporting role, He Shengming is still worried about being replaced every day.
For investors, the role of He Chenming can be replaced at any time, but for He Chenming, this role is his dream. While filming, he was worried, and at the same time he thought of ways to prove himself, eager to eat a big fat man to get the approval of others.
But the more you want to prove yourself, the more nervous you are.
Every time he shoots a close-up, he will be scolded by the director, and whenever he comes again, he is afraid that the opponent actor Huo Siyan (the heroine) will be angry, so he often massages the other party, pours tea and water, and buys snacks.
He didn't have to do this, but because he had suffered too many setbacks, he couldn't bear the disillusionment of his last hope, and he couldn't bear that he couldn't grasp the opportunity in front of him. Like a jar that is spliced again after breaking, the whole body can no longer be collided.
In this way, while he was scolded, he was worried and fearful, and he was courting everywhere, until the hanging heart of the last day of the killing was completely dropped.
"Rose River" was an opportunity he seized, although there was no fire, but at least it gave him hope. It is also from this drama that He Shengming has always regarded Zheng as his own Bole and is willing to play a supporting role in his play.
At the beginning of the hope, He Shengming, who reappeared on the screen to find the direction, became the "Little Prince of Hengdian", and in just three or four years, he played many supporting roles in the drama.
In those years, he was like a brick where it needed to be moved, so he named himself "Wild Actor", as long as the role in the play was not played, the replacement person must be him.
Although he has no contractual relationship with Yu Zheng or is not superior or inferior, out of retribution, He Chenming is willing to be his versatile actor. But soon, "wild" also changed its flavor.
04 Disagreements after not being willing to be pawns
He Shengming regarded Yu Zheng as Bole, as a thank you for his willingness to be a "scrap of material", but the problem was that Bole did not feel that this was a polite thanks, but a kind of reasonable, and even influenced his thinking.
In 2010, Yu Zheng became famous with many works such as "Beauty and The Heart" and "Joyful Mother-in-Law and Pretty Daughter-in-Law", and the supporting role He Shengming also mixed his face in the play. By 2011, "Gong Suo Xin Yu" became a phenomenon-level work on the whole network, and Yu Zheng not only became popular with himself, but also became popular with every protagonist in the play, including He Shengming, who played soy sauce all year round.
After He Shengming became popular, Yu Zheng thought that this was his credit and completely forgot how He Shengming got the role.
The fourth brother was originally scheduled to be Liu Kaiwei, but because Liu Kaiwei's schedule was too full and there was no time, Yu Zhengcai had no choice but to let the "versatile actor" He Shengming replace him. For this substitute role, He Shengming devoted himself to carrying the three books of "Yongzheng Dynasty" with him every day, and worked hard to shoot every scene.
In the end, he became popular with his superb acting skills, and also won the audience's favorite TV series actor award, completely returning to the peak of his career from the cold-eyed "soy sauce brother".
These achievements were not easy for He Chenming, and he was also very grateful for BoLe Yuzheng's appreciation.
However, when his acting skills were recognized by the audience and the market, Yu Zheng still regarded him as an actor who should be replaced at any time, or a "substitute" that could be replaced by actors with more commercial value at any time, which made He Chenming feel puzzled.
Not only can not be reused, but also turn gratitude into a matter of course, He Shengming is dissatisfied but still cooperates with this old partner.
It was not until Yu Zheng was preparing to shoot "Smiling Proud of the River", that the two had differences due to the personality setting of the role of Fox Chong, and they completely "separated".
Yu Zheng wanted to control He Shengming's thoughts and make a speech hall, so that Ling Huchong could not be separated from the shadow inside the high wall, but He Shengming insisted that Ling Huchong was uninhibited.
After the fierce collision of ideas, no one is willing to compromise, Yu Zheng insists on himself, He Shengming does not want to be a pawn at the mercy of others, his only requirement is to play what he likes or has never played, because he does not want to repeat and waste time.
In this way, the two people have differences and the relationship becomes tense.
He Shengming thanked Yu Zheng, but did not want to be a pawn, so he opened a personal studio in 2013. In the eyes of outsiders, He Shengming drifted after becoming popular, and he Shengming was even more controversial after the confused speech that "I can't influence his thoughts".
But in fact, He Shengming has always been grateful to Zheng, and he just does not want to be taken for granted as a "reserve actor". Instead, I want to try different types of roles and broaden the path of the play to break through myself.
Secondly, from the beginning, they are a cooperative partner who has teamed up in the entertainment industry together, and there is no such thing as a superior-subordinate relationship, and there is no so-called betrayal.
At the end of the day, it's two people who have different philosophies.
Yu Zheng is pursuing a word hall and a large number of copies of the blockbuster to make money, while He Shengming is more inclined to try new, to seek more roles to improve himself, rather than to pursue the so-called fame and fortune.
Although Yu Zheng's Ling Fox was on fire, He Shengming missed a great opportunity in the eyes of outsiders, but his pursuit of self-breakthrough is worthy of admiration.
Not being replaced at any time, not being wronged by the role, He Shengming's departure is not Yu Zheng's abandonment, but he wants to live with dignity. Even if it comes at a huge price.
05 The price behind bone gas
Grateful but taken for granted, there are acting skills and popularity but can not be reused is still replaced at any time, and even to be swayed by thought. In the end, He Shengming separated from Yu Zheng, who collaborated on 13 plays.
Since the establishment of a personal studio in 2013, He Chenming has fulfilled his wish not to waste time in repetitive roles. So he began to try modern dramas, and successively starred in "Obstetrics and Gynecology of Love", "Placing An Order for Happiness" and "Happiness Double Yellow Line".
This attempt is new to He Chenming, and it is also a broadening of his own play path, but the effect is not good.
Later, he tried the costume drama "Half for the Cangsheng Half Beauty", as well as "The Four Famous Catches of the Youth", and acted in the movie "White Wedding", still without splash.
Leaving Yu Zheng's blockbuster drama, He Shengming's attempts seem to be useless, and since 2016, the workload has plummeted, and he has gradually disappeared from the audience's vision.
But Yu Zheng was mixed up, and Yang Mi, Feng Shaofeng, and Tong Liya, who had originally performed "Gong Suo Xin Yu" with him, were among the first lines, and then he was not a little behind.
I thought that after leaving Yu Zheng's manipulation, I could break out of the sky, but I lost my career and popularity, and in the eyes of the public, He Chenming was angry, and he fell from the peak to pay a painful price.
It is true that he has been in the past compared to other artists who have become popular, but as an actor, he has always been improving.
He tried many roles, broadened his play path, and even hit the south wall without regret. Moreover, he took each role seriously every time, learned more acting experience from it, experienced more different lives, and laid the foundation for future performances.
To outsiders, he was angry, but in fact it was his backbone.
06 It's worth the wait
So, is it worth it to exchange career for dignity and he Shengming who has exchanged his breath for bone?
It turns out that the wait was worth it!
He Shengming, who disappeared from the audience's vision, summed up the experience in each different role, and now his acting skills are more mature and exquisite, completely transforming into another look.
Since the establishment of the studio in 2013, it has been 9 years, and He Shengming has once again received attention and praise with "Mountains and Rivers MoonLight", which is enough.
Even if he does not rely on others to rely on himself, he can still get the opportunity and the recognition of the audience, 9 years, he has used his strength to buy his dignity.
There is no road in life, every step counts.
In the years of "disappearing", why not the precipitation and accumulation of He Chenming?
In the 26 years since his debut, from He Min, to He Weiqi, to He Shengming, these three periods of life have been bittersweet and ups and downs. Looking back at this evolution of life path, it is also a journey of constantly finding oneself.
In this ups and downs of the entertainment industry, only often with a normal heart can laugh to the end, he Shengming, who has re-emerged after tasting hardships, even if he has paid the price, he has also lived out the man's spirit and demonstrated the self-cultivation of an actor.
