Today we will not talk about learning experience, nor do we engage in resources, relax for a day, let's talk about gossip.
Ask a question of the age of exposure, have the sisters seen "Sanmao Wandering"?
Yes, it's the adventure story of that little boy with a big nose, thin eyebrows, and three strands of thin hair on his forehead.
He lacked clothes and hunger every day, and his greatest wish was to eat a baked cake, but he could always infect others with his sincerity, simplicity and kindness, and shine in the darkness with his own purity.
This innocent little boy also has countless "fans", even Chen Maoping, a writer who Mi Li's mother likes very much, gave himself the pseudonym "Sanmao" because he was particularly obsessed with this comic.
When I was a child, I also loved this book, and I turned it all over with raw edges.
Later, this comic was adapted into a TV series, and Mi Grain's mother has also been chasing more, because I think the little Sanmao in this drama really plays the little people in the comics, and the spirit of being smart and witty and optimistic and brave is too smart!
But this "little Sanmao", the subsequent development is very embarrassing.
The actor of the drama version of "Sanmao" is called Meng Zhichao.
When he was a child, he was particularly outgoing and had a strong desire to perform, and he would go up to sing and dance when he saw the stage, and he was a complete "social cow".
Seeing that he liked acting so much, his parents sent him to Yindu Art School to study acting.
When he was in the third grade, the TV series version of "Sanmao Wandering" was selecting young actors. After the art school teacher learned the news, he recommended this smart and clever child to try it.
Unexpectedly, Meng Zhichao really stood out from more than 6,000 young actors and got this much-loved role.
But after entering the group, he learned that the filming was not as beautiful as he imagined.
For styling needs, he not only had to put special plasticine on his nose to imitate the "sky-piercing nose", but also shaved all his hair and glued the signature three pinches of hair.
In summer, it was hot, the special effects makeup was not breathable, and after a scene, the fake nose was full of sweat, and the wig that was repeatedly glued often irritated his scalp, painful and itchy.
But fortunately, his efforts were not in vain.
As soon as the series was broadcast, it became popular all over the country, and the audience spoke highly of the little boy, praising him as a "three-haired man" who came out of a comic book.
The experience of starring in "Sanmao" not only made him a popular child star, but also brought him more opportunities.
He began to shoot TV series with many well-known actors such as Song Dandan and Zhang Weijian, and his acting career was booming, in school, in his own words: he was a popular figure in the school at that time, and when he was in the third grade, he was "booked" by Shanghai's famous key junior high school.
But luck doesn't always come.
When filming a costume TV series, because of the character's styling needs, he often had to shave his head, apply glue, and wear a hood, which led to serious damage to the hair follicles of the scalp and hair falling out in pieces.
Meng Zhichao, who was only 14 years old at the time, could not accept this reality at all, and he fell into extreme pain and low self-esteem.
His acting career is unsustainable, and he is not willing. Meng Zhichao endured the pain and received hair transplant treatment, and for several years, he had more than 300 stitches on his head.
In order not to leave his stage dream, he worked hard to be admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy and went to Japan to study choreography, hoping that he would have the opportunity to return to the center of the stage again in the future.
But after nearly ten years of silence, the entertainment industry has long had no place for him.
In 2014, he finally waited for the opportunity to participate in a sketch competition variety show, trying to return to the public's eyes again with the name of "Sanmao", focusing on a wave of childhood memories.
Unexpectedly, his performance can be called a big rollover.
Not only is the content of the script uninteresting and unbright, more than ten years have passed, and his acting skills have not improved at all, but they are not as agile as hours.
Moreover, it is obviously inappropriate for an adult to play the "Sanmao" of childhood, and the innocence, cleverness, and cuteness of "Sanmao" are gone, which seems deliberate and contrived.
But the most embarrassing thing is this famous scene.
He wanted to get close to the judge Song Dandan, who played his "mother", so he shouted "mother" to her twice on stage.
When he shouted like this, Song was directly stunned on the spot, and he didn't know how to respond. The judges next to her reminded her that Meng Zhichao played her "son" in which play?
But Song Dandan has worked with too many actors, she pondered for a long time, still couldn't remember, and finally Meng Zhichao told in detail, and she suddenly realized.
Hard climbing relatives is not the most embarrassing, and then he turned on the "selling miserable" mode.
Meng Zhichao told about his difficulties over the years, saying that he had a lot of things he wanted to talk to his "mother", but was interrupted on the spot by Song Dandan, who was accustomed to this kind of operation, and said, let's talk about it offstage.
And for his constant emphasis on his hair loss, Song Dandan also said that this is not a reason why he can't film, and many bald seniors can also continue to create a variety of deeply rooted characters.
And earnestly persuaded him, "You can't play Sanmao forever."
But he didn't seem to think seriously about this sentence.
Since playing the role of "Sanmao", 30 years have passed, and he is still staying in the role of "Sanmao", consuming the few remaining "character halos" to attract the attention of the public.
While he wanted to get rid of it, he was reluctant to let go, and "Sanmao" made him, but he trapped himself.
Zhang Ailing said that fame should be early.
But premature fame is a dilemma for these children who are not yet mature in mind.
There is a line in Legal High that says, "Child stars are just a consumable with a short shelf life." ”
Mother Rice thought so.
When I was a child, my acting skills were immature and delicate, and everyone would praise and be cute, but when I became an adult, I still used this unchanged routine, I'm afraid no one bought it.
When flowers and applause flock to the scene, some people are fascinated by the brilliance of the surface and indulge in the present; Someone can rush back and find a new way out;
So when the aura fades, some people can only sell feelings while hoping that luck will come again; Someone has long counterattacked life and turned around gorgeously.
Ye Zizi, a little girl who once starred with Liu Xuehua in "Mother's Heart After Spring", has appeared in many film and television works at the age of 14.
Judging from her resume, she is a rising star, but this little girl who loves acting, since the age of 14, stopped all acting activities and retired to school.
Different from Meng Zhichao's special move, Ye Zi was down-to-earth, and was admitted to the top class of a local key high school with excellent results, and later successfully passed the "self-recruitment" to be admitted to Tsinghua.
In college, she participated in speeches, debates, women's volleyball competitions, rehearsed dramas, and went out for interviews, constantly enriching her life experience.
Later, she went to graduate school across majors, step by step, and gained her ideal life.
From a child star to a college bully, even if you change tracks, life is just as successful.
There is also the "Red Son" Zhao Xinpei in the 86th edition of "Journey to the West".
A sentence "Are you a rescuer invited by the monkey?" "Interpret the bear child who is not afraid of the sky and the earth to the fullest.
After the TV series was broadcast, "Red Son" and his parents took the initiative to give up the ensuing invitation opportunity and decided to withdraw from the circle and go to school.
Later, he found his favorite interest in studying computers, and he continued to study on this path: graduated from the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Peking University, studied for a master's degree and doctoral degree at the Institute of Software of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, founded a company, and became a chief technology officer.
At present, the net worth exceeds 100 million, and there are 52 enterprises that have invested alone.
Later, in an interview, he said, "At that time, I thought it was fun, and after the filming, I also understood what was going on, so I felt bored."
But computers are different, and the more I study it, the more I find it unfathomable, and the more I don't understand it, the more I want to understand what it is. ”
Left the entertainment industry, "Red Son" is still playing well.
In fact, their success is not accidental, but they see their future goals early and work hard towards them.
Instead of shouting the so-called "dream" in your mouth, but standing in place.
Meng Zhichao has said in interviews many times that he is trapped with the role of "Sanmao". Because the image of "Sanmao" is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no matter what he plays, it is very similar to "Sanmao", which makes his drama path narrower and narrower.
But as everyone knows, what makes his path narrower and narrower is not the image of "Sanmao", but himself who cannot accept the psychological gap and change careers, and does not strive to break through the upper limit of acting skills.
Long before the TV series version of "Sanmao Wandering" was broadcast, a black-and-white movie version of "Sanmao Wandering" was released.
Wang Longji, the child star who played "Sanmao" in the movie, can even be said to be the first child star in New China.
▲ Wang Longji played by "Sanmao"
He is a child who has really experienced hardship and has a deeper resonance for this role, and even Premier Zhou praised him: "He plays vividly, what a spiritual child!" ”
Under the careful teaching of his father, he did not indulge in the aura of stardom, was admitted to Shanghai Film College, and engaged in literary and artistic creation after graduation.
Later, under the tide of the times, he became a workshop worker by chance.
But he did not feel sorry for himself, but concentrated on research in the new working environment, designed and manufactured semi-automatic printing machines, corrosion machines, and built the first self-designed, manufactured and produced printed circuit board design and production line in the mainland, which played a very important role in the independent research and development and production of color TV sets in our country at that time.
The original "Sanmao" Wang Longji was also the peak of his debut, but in the face of changes in the times, he can adjust his mentality in time to change his identity, abandon the star halo, shine like in other industries, and climb to the peak of his life from another road.
Perhaps for Meng Zhichao, who still wants to pursue his dream in the entertainment industry, the best choice is to take the initiative to jump out of the comfort zone and continue to sharpen his acting skills, rather than simply knowing the aura brought by consuming "Sanmao", after all, there are not many people who understand this feeling.
In fact, life is a long road, opportunities are very important, choices are very important, know how to accept the gap, accept yourself as an ordinary person, more important.
