After the news of Hu Ge's hidden marriage and fatherhood broke, a major spectacle was born on the Internet -
Hu Ge, who exposed his "crime", not only did not attract scolding, on the contrary, netizens and fans were genuinely happy as sitting in the seats of relatives and friends, saying some blessings, and rushing to send red envelopes, greetings and celebrations.
A doubt is placed here: among the male stars born in hidden marriage, why is only Hu Ge blessed?
Some people say that Hu Ge is 41 years old and finally has a family, which is very good; Some people explain that as a star, Hu Ge is quiet, focused, and low-key, and there are many passers-by.
But compared to the identity of a traffic star, Hu Ge seems to be closer to a good actor.
This "good" refers not to his acting skills, but to the rare Miyoshi students in Vanity Fair.
"Immortal Sword" may be the greatest luck in Hu Ge's life.
Today, 18 years later, the Douban score of "Immortal Sword" has reached 9.1, and 323,000 people have rated it. As the news of Hu Ge's marriage and birth spread, the data is still climbing. A Douban netizen left a comment: "It's like a beautiful dream I had when I was a child, and I lost my life at first sight."
Before starring in "Immortal Sword", Hu Ge was a sophomore and had just finished filming his first drama "Dandelion", and the ratings were dismal.
He didn't have much hope for "Immortal Sword", and the star who played Li Xiaoyao at that time was said to be a star invited from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
When trying on Jiang Ming's old age and juvenile makeup, Hu Ge was seen by Yao Zhuangxian, the father of fairy sword games who walked into the dressing room, and picked him out at a glance from the pile of people, tall and handsome, looking at people and thieves, "an age with Li Xiaoyao".
So, after the Spring Festival in 2004, the crew turned on and Hu Ge got on the Spring Festival train alone.
In 2005, "Immortal Sword" premiered, and Li Xiaoyao set foot on Fairy Spirit Island, where peach blossoms bloomed for ten miles.
Years later, Hu Ge wrote on Weibo: "At that time, I still couldn't figure out what acting was about, but my heart was full, and the eyes at that time could no longer be acted."
Yao Zhuangxian believes that Li Xiaoyao represents Taiwan's "Atuzai" culture, an unknown teenager who struggles, gains achievements, and then loses something.
The same script came again. Beauty and luck allowed Hu Ge to have a smooth first half of his life, more ancient puppet scripts piled up in front of Hu Ge, Yi Xiaochuan in "Mythology", Yang Liulang in "Young Yang Family General", Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"... Each of them is a male protagonist, a handsome young student, and each one also makes his label of "costume idol" more distinct.
But luck is a difficult monster to catch.
It's hard not to feel the "irony" of fate - just before the car accident, they had just finished filming the desert scene of "Condor Shooting" in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Yuan Hong's birthday, August 23rd, everyone was drinking together. The stars, the prairie, the 60-degree spirits, the friends, they all thought it was the happiest night for everyone.
When he returned to the remake of the "Condor" crew, Hu Ge had an extra scar on his right eyelid and lost his friend Zhang Mian forever.
After the car accident, Hu Ge wanted to retreat to the background, perhaps also an escape. But at that time, Tang Ren was still a small company, and maybe this drama could not be completed, which was a devastating blow to Tang Ren. So, he had to repair this broken face and return to the spotlight.
In the end, "Condor " was completed on the seaside of Xiangshan Film and Television City, Zhejiang. After the last shot, Hu Ge ran without changing his clothes, "running frantically, running, running, running, running, tears flowed."
Looking back now, I can't help but think of what Liu Cixin wrote in the afterword of the English version of "The Three-Body Problem": "Every era has put invisible shackles on the people living here, and the only thing I can do is dance in shackles."
For Hu Ge, "Langya List" is a beautiful turnover.
The role of Mei Changsu is similar to Hu Ge, Liu Yijun, Liu Mintao, Liu Tao, Wang Kai, Chen Long, Huang Weide and others as matches, produced by the noon sun, the top creative forces gathered together and collectively made a senior tailor for Hu Ge.
Hu Ge became popular again, reached the peak, and successfully transformed from an idol to a powerful one. Traffic, prestige, fame and fortune swept towards him.
At the same time, he is portrayed as a hero who has experienced "nirvana rebirth" after destruction, a character who only appears frequently in mythology.
The audience did not expect him to transform, on the contrary, the costume fantasy theme he was good at was what the original audience liked to see.
But Hu Ge chose to retreat bravely. He refused to be trapped in the character type of a young man in costume, actively sought transformation, and did not encounter a scene that broke through the image of the screen, "I would rather stop and not answer".
Until "The Party at Southern Station". Director Diao Yinan, the previous work "Daylight Fireworks". The story of "South" takes place in a southern city, and the protagonist Zhou Zenong is a local ruffian leader.
In "South", Hu Ge really worked hard to play Zhou Zenong well.
Riding a motorcycle in heavy rain, climbing hills on mud, filming overboard late at night, in order to achieve the best results, do it all over one by one, never complaining.
The mud play of the cold puddle is not afraid of dirt and cold, and the degree of dedication is definitely exemplary.
But is effort useful?
There is a noodle eating scene in "South". The outlaw Zhou Zenong knew that there was no hope of escape, so he hid in the noodle restaurant and asked for a bowl of beef noodles to eat. At this time, all his desire for survival was served in this bowl of noodles.
Hu Ge, who should have been hurt, painful, and hungry, picked up the noodles, chewed them bite by bite, and his eyes were empty while eating, thoughtful. Hu Ge explained his intention in acting like this at the post-screening meeting, "I believe that when eating the last bowl of noodles, Zhou Zenong will have many pictures in his mind, including nostalgia for the world and nostalgia for life..."
A bandit who is being hunted down and killed, he doesn't even want his life and eats bowl noodles, why? Naturally, I was hungry.
Zhang Yi also played a fugitive in "One Second".
He circled the bowl, the brim of his hat covering most of his face, and he could only see the appearance of gobbling, like a protective and fierce beast.
In "South", Hu Ge is a high-quality idol, but there are not many "dramas" in his moves.
In most cases, the so-called performance texture is replaced by the embarrassment, embarrassment, struggle, and pain experienced by the actor in his past life.
The same is true of Hu Ge, he is not a genius, but a very diligent stupid student, so the peak of Hu Ge's acting career stopped at "Immortal Sword" and "Langya List", both of which were in which he lived himself as a character and then received applause. Playing Zhou Zenong badly is because Hu Ge has not been "hungry", and his ability is to come out hungry.
He became famous at a young age and lived in a vacuum most of the time, but he was very introspective:
Hu Ge: I don't want to be eliminated, I don't want to eat the old book, and I'm not willing to be a superficial actor.
I have always lived in the life of a public figure, and I have never had a particularly real life experience. Order takeout, you can't communicate face-to-face with the delivery person, I always say you just leave that thing at the door. Including it, I rarely can walk around the street, so I managed to find a way to ride a motorcycle, and it was useless to wear a helmet (laughs). Something like this, so I wanted to look at it in a different environment.
If you want to act well, Hu Ge can only start from himself and live in the situation of the character. That is, "really listening, really seeing, really feeling", using all the lives you have experienced to shape the psychological change process of the characters.
So, Hu Ge fled. In 2017, at the height of his fame, he chose to leave and study in the United States.
Studying in the United States is not the first time Hu Ge has made a move to "escape".
In 2016, on the 12th anniversary of Hu Ge's official website, Hu Ge released the following long article: "The people around me have done much more than me, my agent, my team, my teachers, my elders, my relatives, my pepper, you have raised me to where I am today, and I have brilliantly played a successful artist... If, I can become the person I imagined... I'm willing to let go of everything in front of me."
In a later interview with "People", Hu Ge said that it was originally an article that planned to announce his withdrawal from the entertainment industry, but then held back.
Because, hey, someone keeps dragging me and saying what decision do you have, can you not always announce it, if you don't want to do it, you just don't do it, why do you always have to say to everyone, don't leave yourself a way out? I said that because I always do things, I don't leave a way back for myself, I can only do this, (she said) then aren't you stupid, what if you can't do it?
And the "escape" of studying in the United States, away from Vanity Fair, and experiencing life on campus ended in failure.
In an interview with Tencent Fashion, Hu Ge said he attended two schools in two months, each averaging three weeks, because all the Chinese in the school knew about it, which prevented him from going to school normally.
In this failed experience, he repeatedly examined himself.
When I was in China, I always liked to make excuses for myself, not that I wanted this kind of life, but that there was no way. But when I got abroad, I learned that these excuses were not valid, or my own problems, my laziness, my poor execution, and my lack of perseverance.
This time I ran away (failed), was it my idol baggage or did I not let go? If I didn't care about those (recognized), probably too...
In the face of heat, "public opinion needs to create a person", and this created person may magnify a little bit of Hu Ge's body infinitely.
At present, Hu Ge is still a rare existence in the entertainment industry and Vanity Fair. When describing Hu Ge, people often describe him as "perfect star, transformation model, inspirational idol".
He turned the contradiction against himself again.
Hu Ge seems to be carrying too many symbols on his body. Under the perfect role of Miyoshi student, he is sensitive and tangled, but at least now he has found a new answer to fate.
I wish Hu Ge's children a healthy growth and it will be over.
