It is emotional to say that "Agarwood Like Crumbs" has ended, only to find that it is Zhao Wenhao who plays the sword spirit of the "Soul Sword"!
When chasing the drama, many people said that this actor was very handsome and familiar, but they just couldn't remember who it was.
Because everyone really can't believe that Zhao Wenhao, who debuted at the peak, would actually play a role of "playing soy sauce" in film and television dramas.
Nowadays, when Zhao Wenhao is mentioned, many people may be confused, but the time goes back to 2010, and he is extremely popular.
01
Born in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, Zhao Wenhao began to learn dance at the age of 4, participated in dance competitions many times, and won many awards.
After graduating from primary school, Zhao Wenhao was admitted to the dance department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts for 5 years.
At this time, Zhao Wenhao, although he also took the literary and artistic route, had no intersection with the film and television circle, but the fate was so magical that he met Chen Kaige.
At that time, Chen Kaige was preparing to shoot "The Orphan of Zhao" and went to the military art casting. Zhao Wenhao's nose is tall, heroic, quite ancient temperament, coupled with his dance skills, he immediately attracted Chen Kaige.
To be selected by the big director, Zhao Wenhao's luck is really good.
Moreover, in "The Orphan of Zhao", the actors he cooperated with were all big names such as Ge You, Wang Xuexi, Haiqing, and Zhao Wenzhuo.
With both the favor of famous directors and the blessing of famous horns, Zhao Wenhao's starting point cannot be said to be high.
In addition, he has high understanding, works hard when filming, and is deeply loved by Chen Kaige, so he accepts him as a righteous son outside the play.
"The Orphan of Zhao" was released in 2010, and with the topic and popularity brought by the movie, Zhao Wenhao rose to the top and became a little star who was red and purple.
He was 14 years old.
After becoming popular with "The Orphan of Zhao", Zhao Wenhao participated in his first TV series work "Hongmen Banquet". The cooperation is popular actors Feng Shaofeng and Liu Yifei.
Then in 2011, he released the single "Chocolate".
At the same time, Zhao Wenhao has also become the "darling" of variety shows.
Mango Tv's "Happy Base Camp" and "Every Day Upward", Jiangsu Satellite TV's "Happiness Late Roll Call", CCTV's "Avenue of Stars", "Chia Tai Variety", BTV's "Very Network"...
Every show that invites him is an ace variety show.
With the increasing exposure, Zhao Wenhao's popularity is also getting higher and higher.
Debut is the peak, follow-up development is very good, many people think that Zhao Wenhao can look forward to the future, but did not expect that troubles also followed.
02
The reason is that in order to have a better development for their son, Zhao Wenhao's parents signed the "Full-time Performing Arts Contract" with Beijing Zhongshi Wonderful Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. in October 2012.
The two sides agreed that the cooperation period is 10 years, and during these 10 years, the brokerage company pays Zhao Wenhao 10,000 yuan per month, which will increase year by year;
At the same time, 80% of the agency fee is charged for Zhao Wenhao's acting income, and the proportion is decreasing year by year; If Zhao Wenhao proposes to terminate the contract, he should pay liquidated damages, of which 500,000 yuan will be paid for less than one year of work.
In May 2013, Beijing Zhongshi Wonderful Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. received a termination letter mailed by Zhao Wenhao and his parents.
They believe that there is inequality in the contract and that the brokerage company has defaulted on wages and rent, which constitutes a breach of contract.
Beijing Zhongshi Wonderful Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. believes that It was Zhao Wenhao who defaulted first, so he owed wages and rent.
Moreover, the company has tailored a youth idol drama "My College Entrance Examination" for Zhao Wenhao, and if Zhao Wenhao terminates the contract, this drama will naturally not be able to shoot.
Due to the issue of interests involved, the two sides could not reach an agreement on the termination of the contract, and Beijing Zhongshi Wonderful Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. filed a lawsuit to rescind the acting contract signed with Zhao Wenhao, and compensate 310,000 yuan for economic losses and 500,000 yuan in liquidated damages.
Later, the court ruled that Zhao Wenhao constituted a breach of contract and paid a liquidated damages of 400,000 yuan to the brokerage company.
The newcomer who has just become popular has terminated his contract with the brokerage company, and the sensation caused can be imagined. It was also after that that Zhao Wenhao began to go downhill.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Wenhao is very self-motivated, and after becoming popular, he applied for the Central Academy of Drama and was successfully admitted, and he was born in an authentic class.
But even so, his acting career is still not improving.
Even, it has become a "small follower" of the same door!
03
Originally thought that after the termination of the contract with the former brokerage company, Zhao Wenhao could have a good development, but he did not expect that he had actually embarked on the road of "ten thousand years of supporting roles".
In the costume drama "Ancient Sword Qitan", he played the male N number two dogs;
In the movie "Lost alone", he played the supporting role of Shi Anyi;
In "The Long Song Line of Beautiful Rivers and Mountains", he played Liu Yang, who did not have much role;
In the costume mythological drama "The Legend of the White Snake of Tianqiao", he played the role of "Little Gray"...
Let's put it this way, Zhao Wenhao has participated in many film and television dramas, but in each work, it is a supporting role.
This situation continued until he signed Huanrui, and it did not change.
In 2018, Zhao Wenhao signed a contract with Huanrui and became the same door as Yang Zi, Cheng Yi, Ren Jialun, etc.
After signing the contract, he did have more scenes, and also participated in the variety show "Actors Please Take Place", but he still played a supporting role that did not play a small role.
In "Tomb Raider Notes 2", he played the role of Green Shirt; In "Chang'annuo", he played Xiao Chengxuan; In "Heavy Fire on the Moon", he played Xia Qingmei;
The cooperation is all popular actors, and almost every work in which he participates is a hit, but Zhao Wenhao has not been able to successfully go out of the circle because of his small role.
What is even more emotional is that his role in film and television dramas is getting less and less, almost to the extent of "playing soy sauce".
Let's say that in "Agarwood Like Crumbs", he plays the sword spirit of the "Soul Sword" and has been guarding Tang Zhou, played by Cheng Yi.
This role is indispensable and plays a crucial role in the development of the story, but the total number of scenes in the whole play does not exceed 10, and the scenes are pitifully small.
When chasing the drama, many people felt that the sword spirit was very handsome, but that was all, no one recognized him as Zhao Wenhao, and no one remembered this role.
After the TV series ended, it did not trigger a wide range of discussions.
Compared with the heat of Yang Zi and Cheng Yi, it is simply a world of difference.
04
Although the role is no size, Zhao Wenhao's high starting point has developed into what it is now, which is still quite regrettable.
On the appearance, he is definitely a costumed male god level, on the acting skills, remarkable. But there is a lack of an opportunity to show yourself.
From being popular with Chen Kaige at the age of 14 to the broadcast of "Agarwood Like Crumbs" in 2022, Zhao Wenhao has been debuting for 12 years.
If Zhao Wenhao does not seize the opportunity, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a breakthrough in the future.
Looking at his "inventory", basically playing supporting roles, the only work that plays the main role is the movie "The Shocking Crisis of Young Ip Man", look at the name to know, it is difficult to become a hit.
In this case, Zhao Wenhao wants to go out of the circle and have to work harder!
