As the most influential circle in the entertainment industry, the relationship between the "Beijing Circle" is intricate.
The "second generation of Beijing" also relies on the influence of its fathers to develop in the entertainment industry with peace of mind.
In fact, the most influential in the Beijing circle is the "old Beijing Second Generation", whose background is stronger than one. The family lineage is either rich or expensive, far from being comparable to today's "second generation of stars".
Especially the following 9, their fathers are either veterans of the war or the first leaders of a studio.
1. Chen Kaige
Chen Kaige and father
Chen Kaige's father is the third generation of directors in the history of Chinese cinema, named Chen Huaigao.
Chen Huaigao loved to study since he was a child, and by chance, he was successfully admitted to the National Drama College, which is now the Central Academy of Drama.
During his university years, Chen Huaigao devoted himself to the revolutionary cause and participated in the preparation of the literary and art work troupe, and served as the theater captain in it.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Huaigao was transferred to the Central Film Bureau as an assistant director, and the stable social environment allowed him to have a lot of time to engage in creation.
In the following twenty years, he created more than 20 works, of which "Iron Bow Edge" and "Yangmen Female General" also won the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award for Best Drama Film.
His film style was deeply influenced by traditional drama, and he also passed this on to his son Chen Kaige, which was finally perfectly presented in "Farewell to the King".
For many years, the jianghu has been rumored to say: "'Farewell to the Overlord' is Chen Huaigao's work."
But in fact, before the start of "Farewell to the King", Chen Huaigao had already been diagnosed with cancer, so the number of times he personally directed the filming of the film was very small.
But it is undeniable that Chen Huaigao provided a lot of advice and shooting ideas for this film.
In the end, "Farewell to the King" turned out to be the only film in the history of Chinese cinema to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
At the end of the film, Chen Kaige also specifically mentioned his father, whose position was art director.
In the films after Chen Kaige, we can still see the shadow of Chen Huaigao, with a unique Chinese romanticism in the film.
In 1994, Chen Huaigao died of cancer, and his mantle was also well inherited by Chen Kaige.
2. Indah
Even if Yingda's family lineage is placed in today's Beijing circle, it is also famous.
His great-grandfather was a hero in the history books, the founder of the Ta Kung Pao, and a good friend of Liang Qichao.
With such a powerful great-grandfather, the younger generations will naturally not be too bad.
Yingda's grandfather, named Ying qianli, went to the United Kingdom to study at the age of 13, and later helped his father found Fu Jen University.
At the same time, Ying Qianli is also the director of the Beiping Education Bureau and the director of the Department of Social Education.
Later, when he came to Yingda's father Yingruocheng, he became the pillar of the country.
Ying Ruocheng studied at Cambridge University in his early years, and was later admitted to the Department of Foreign Chinese Language and Literature of Tsinghua University, where he translated a large number of foreign classics and served as vice minister of culture.
Not only that, he is also an actor, who has worked in Beijing Renyi, participating in performances and creating works such as "I Love My Home", "The Last Emperor" and so on.
Under the influence of such a family environment, Indah started from a higher starting point than many children in the same period and had independent thoughts and ways of doing things.
Perhaps influenced by her father, Indah is passionate about the theatre industry and aspires to achieve something in theatre.
In order to realize the ideal in her heart, Indah desperately went to the University of Missouri in the United States to concentrate on studying theater performance.
After graduation, Yingda returned to China and wanted to make a name for himself in China's film and television industry, but he could not get any reuse with a double master's degree in directing and acting.
In desperation, he found director Xie Jin, mentioned that his father was Yingruocheng, and finally won the position of assistant director of "The Last Nobleman" and played the role of Zhou Daqing.
After that, Yingda participated in "Siege of the City" and won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actor.
It was not until 1993 that Indah achieved success in the theater industry.
At that time, he was inspired by sitcoms while studying in the United States, and began to prepare his own domestic sitcoms after returning home.
Later, "I Love My Home" came out, which made Indah famous in the first battle.
3. Song Dandan
Speaking of Indah, it is necessary to mention his ex-wife Song Dandan.
On the surface, Song Dandan is just an actor, a sketch actor who often appears on spring evenings, but her background cannot be underestimated.
In Song Dandan's growth path, the support of her family is indispensable.
Her father was the leader of the Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and her mother was a people's teacher, and they gave a lot of support and encouragement to Song Dandan's acting path.
Song Dandan's brother, a former provincial leader in Shanxi Province, sees him as her role model and a guiding light on the road of life.
In 1984, Song Dandan, who had only been debuting for one year, participated in the movie "Red and White Happy Event" and won the Outstanding Actor Award commended by the Beijing Municipal Government.
Later, she won the Feitian Award for Best Actress for "The World Found" and "Crescent Moon".
In 1989, because the CCTV Spring Festival Gala was not long enough, it decided to temporarily add a program "Lazy Man Blind Date", but suffering from the fact that there was no suitable role, the program team contacted Song Dandan.
At first, Song Dandan was reluctant to star in comedy because his goal was to be an Oscar-winning artist.
However, for the sake of the Spring Festival Gala, Song Dandan was "forced to fight", because of the role of "Wei Shufen", she was also popular all over the country.
"My name is Wei Shufen, female, 29, still unmarried."
Song Dandan's career development is extremely smooth, but his emotional life is not very smooth.
After two failed marriages, he did not gain the love of his life until 1997, and the man was an outsider.
Song Dandan has never shown off his prominent family lineage, and he is still down-to-earth in acting, which can be called a model for the older generation of artists.
4. Ge You
Ge You, who is known as the "National Uncle", has always relied on his acting skills to get out of the circle, and almost all the "best male protagonists" of major awards have Ge You's name.
But few people know that Uncle Ge of the powerful faction is actually a "star second generation".
Ge You's father, named Ge Cunzhuang, was one of the first in the new Chinese actor team.
He has starred in classic films such as "Red Flag Spectrum", "Mysterious Big Buddha", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and played the villain leader in it.
Ge You's mother, who is also a circle of Zheng'er Bajing, worked at the Beijing Film Studio after graduating from Nortel and is now a member of the China Film Association.
For Ge You, being an actor is completely unexpected.
When he was a child, he was very introverted, his appearance was not particularly prominent, and he never participated in any school programs.
After graduating from middle school, Ge You went to the team to feed the pigs, and he was a good hand at building pig pens and picking up pigs.
But this is not a serious errand, under the advice of his father, he still decided to "inherit his father's business" and continue to engage in the acting industry.
I went to the major film schools for interviews, and none of them could interview.
Ge You, who "broke the jar and broke it", simply took his pig raising experience into a sketch and played it to the cultural troupe.
After the leaders of the literary troupe saw it, they boasted that the acting skills were real and the sense of substitution was extremely strong, but what they didn't know was that this was actually Ge You's real experience.
With this "pig raising technology", Ge You successfully knocked on the door of the literary troupe.
Here, Ge You and Feng Xiaogang and others have achieved each other' achievements, made one classic work after another, and become the "national uncle" in everyone's mouth.
Ge You's father, Ge Cunzhuang, has always regarded his son as his greatest pride.
5. Pu Cunxin
Pu Cunxin, the current vice president of Renyi and the chairman of the Dramatists Association, is actually a second-generation star.
His father's name was Su Min (formerly Pu Sixun), a veteran figure of Beijing Renyi, in which he served as an actor from the time when Renyi was first established.
Zhou Ping in the drama "Thunderstorm", Zhou Jin in "Cai Wenji", etc., are all characters played by Su Min.
Later, after Su Min transformed into a director, Pu Cunxin took over the role of "Zhou Ping" from his father.
Su Min has dedicated his life to renyi, not only cultivating excellent actors such as Pu Cunxin, but also excellent old drama bones such as Liang Guanhua, Song Dandan, and Xu Fan.
Under the influence of his father, Pu Cunxin's development in the future is also very good.
In 1991, Pu Cunxin and his father collaborated on "Li Bai" for the first time, and the director of this drama was his father.
In order to play the role of "Li Bai" well, Pu Cunxin flipped through a large number of ancient books.
In the end, "Li Bai" was a great success, and in a few years, it has been performed more than 200 times.
Pu Cunxin not only has achievements in drama, but also has good results in film and television.
In 1991, Pu Cunxin and Xie Jin collaborated on "The Bells of Qingliang Temple", which officially entered the show business circle.
He has starred in more than 30 TV series and more than 20 movies.
In 2016, the 90-year-old Su Min died peacefully in his sleep, and his mother suffered from "Alzheimer's disease" because she could not bear the blow.
Pu Cunxin quit his job and concentrated on taking care of his mother at home, supporting his mother's old age with his old age.
6. Chen Peisi
In the eyes of many viewers, they have always looked down on the second generation of stars who rely on their fathers, thinking that they do not work hard and have no ability.
But in fact, in today's entertainment industry, there are many old artists who are also from the second generation of stars, Chen Peisi is one of them, and his father Chen Qiang was once a well-known figure in the film and television industry.
Chen Qiang was active in the film industry in the 1940s and had an acting career of more than 60 years.
He is also the winner of the 1st Hundred Flowers Awards for Best Supporting Actor and the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 29th Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films.
Chen Qiang has two men and a woman in his family, the younger son is Chen Peisi, his appearance is most similar to his father, and it is also a matter of course for the son to inherit his father's business.
Because his father's previous roles were mostly villains, Chen Peisi worked as an actor and made up his mind to become a comedian so that the audience could laugh when they saw him.
Chen Peisi and Chen Qiang first cooperated in 1980, when father and son jointly starred in "Look at This Family", which was popular all over the country for a time.
After that, the father and son joined hands to cooperate in five films such as "Father and Son" and "Grandfather Opens a Song Hall", and Chen Qiang also changed from "the villain that everyone shouted and fought" to a comedian that everyone liked.
And Chen Peisi also laid a position in the show business circle with the blessing of his father.
Since 1984, Chen Peisi began to appear on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, truly becoming a national-level comedian.
In 2016, Chen Qiang died at the age of 94 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital.
The old man finally walked very peacefully, and he watched his son inherit his mantle step by step and carry it forward.
This is the most gratifying thing for Chen Qiang, who has been practicing art for more than 60 years.
7. Hu Jun
Hu Jun talked about his father more than once in public, and from his mouth we also learned that Hu Jun's father was a veteran who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, named Hu Baoshan.
After the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Hu Baoshan went to the front line for the first time and also made a third-class meritorious service.
In his spare time, he sang red songs and played the piano to his comrades-in-arms in the face of the wind and snow to soothe the thoughts and emotions of his comrades-in-arms.
After the end of the war, he returned to his status as a small teacher, continued to sing, and also got the opportunity to study abroad.
In 1961, at the age of 26, Hu Baoshan returned to China and successively served as a soloist in the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe, the Military Arts and Music Department, and the Cultural and Labor Troupe of the Political Department of the Navy.
Hu Jun, who was born in such a family, has been forced to practice violin, bel canto, piano and so on since he was a child.
But Hu Jun's personality was particularly naughty when he was a child, and every day he was either causing trouble or on the way to trouble, a proper "bear child" was not less beaten by his father.
His father hoped that he could inherit his father's business, but he was not interested in music, he felt that music was very boring, even noisy.
Hu Jun secretly applied for the Chinese Opera and Nortel examinations without his father, and with his musical skills in the art examination, he successfully entered the Chinese Opera and became the class leader of the 87-level acting department.
If Hu Jun had chosen the path of singing, he would certainly have been able to walk in the future, but he was unwilling to rely on his father and rely on his own efforts to break out of the kangzhuang avenue in the show business circle.
Hu Jun's father
8. Tian Zhuangzhuang
In the "fifth generation of directors", Tian Zhuangzhuang is definitely the most low-profile one.
Tian Zhuangzhuang was born in a film and television family, his father's name was Tian Fang, he was the first director of the Beijing Film Studio, and the first director of the Beijing Film Actors Troupe.
His mother, Yu Basket, was also a respected veteran artist and the first director of a Children's Film Studio in China in 1981.
Tian Zhuangzhuang, who grew up in such a family, still embarked on the road of film directing after becoming an adult.
In 1980, Tian Zhuangzhuang began filming before he graduated, and "Our Corner" was completed during his time at school.
In the graduation work "Small Courtyard", Zhang Yimou personally worked as a photographer for Tian Zhuangzhuang.
I thought that Tian Zhuangzhuang's directorial career would be a smooth step in the future.
Unexpectedly, in 1992, because he was shooting a feature film, he would be banned from filming for the next ten years, and he could only participate in the work as a producer and actor.
During this time, he did not lose his love for the work of directing, but also directed a group of very good "sixth generation directors".
In 2002, Tian Zhuangzhuang's first film after his comeback was the remake of "Spring in a Small Town".
The remake received critical acclaim and proved his prowess as a "fifth-generation director".
After that, Tian Zhuangzhuang successively filmed a large-scale documentary "Tea Horse Ancient Road - Dram" and the biographical film "Wu Qingyuan" by Go master Wu Qingyuan, and the cultural connotation of these works is very worthy of careful consideration.
In 2009, Tian Zhuangzhuang left the field of literary and art films to direct the commercial film "Wolf Disaster".
After the film was released, word of mouth was polarized, and many viewers felt that Tian Zhuangzhuang was not suitable for commercial films.
But he said, "I really respect the audience."
Today, Tian Zhuangzhuang rarely shoots films himself, but more as a producer and art director, working behind the scenes.
9. Huang Lei
Huang Lei, who was born in the south, is actually a Beijing circle person, which is related to his father Huang Xiaoli, who can embark on the road of performance, but also under the influence of his father.
Huang Xiaoli is a national first-class actor who works as an performer at the Central Experimental Drama Theatre.
Huang Lei has been running around the drama theater with his father since he was a child, and he has been exposed to many things about performance.
When Huang Lei is interested in acting, his father will also give careful guidance, so he is particularly relaxed when he takes nortel.
When Huang Lei first went to college, he was appreciated by director Chen Kaige and starred in the movie "Singing While Walking".
After graduation, he stayed on to teach, and guided students while acting.
After that, Huang Lei made more and more audiences familiar with his works such as "Midnight Song", "Little Parting", and "Little Joy".
In addition, he also participated in the recording of many variety shows, and once became a male artist at the national level.
Final Conclusion:
It is said that "the dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix", and the influence of family background on a person is self-evident.
Under the influence and influence of their parents, these second generations of stars and directors can gain a firm foothold in the vanity fair of the entertainment industry.
But in fact, having good resources does not make the star path long-lasting, after entering the circle, more depends on their own hard work.
If you play a good hand of cards in your hand, you will not only ruin your own reputation in the end, but even the reputation of your fathers will be damaged.
