"Sanmao" plays a supporting role, and "Tinkerbell" does the dubbing: Where did the explosive child stars go in those years?
Not long ago, 21-year-old Zhang Zifeng won the Huabiao Award for Best Actress with the movie "My Sister", becoming the youngest actress of the Huabiao Award.
Zhang Zifeng has made an excellent example for the new generation of actors after 00, and some people think that Zhang Zifeng is too young to win the award.
In fact, from the perspective of age, Zhang Zifeng is indeed much younger than post-70s and post-80s actresses such as Ren Suxi and Yuan Quan;
But if you look at the age of the play, Zhang Zifeng won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Newcomer with "Tangshan Earthquake" when he was 11 years old, and Zhang Zifeng never left the big screen for the entire 10 years.
Becoming famous at a young age is the best praise for Zhang Zifeng!
When Zhang Zifeng stood on the top podium with 10 years of hard work, many people also began to recall what the actor who debuted as a child star like Zhang Zifeng was now mixed up?
Wu Lei and Zhang Zifeng belong to the child stars who debuted at the same time, and now one is rooted in the TV industry and the other is fighting in the film industry, both of them are proper powerful actors.
And Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen, two child stars who are popular in "New Oolong Courtyard", have downgraded their appearance, and they have also played soy sauce in film and television dramas.
What other child stars are left? How have they developed today?
1. Zhang Yishan
Among the actors who debuted as child stars, the most influential is Zhang Yishan.
Although Zhang Yishan starred in the role of Liu Xing in "Family with Children" when he was 12 years old, before Liu Xing, 9-year-old Zhang Yishan successfully debuted with "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".
However, at that time, the biggest focus of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" was on the protagonist "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", and Zhang Yishan, who was a supporting role, was naturally ignored by everyone.
It was not until Zhang Yishan was finalized to play Liu Xing 3 years later that Zhang Yishan was truly famous in the entertainment industry as a child star.
Zhang Yishan, who is surrounded by people everywhere he goes, and will be watched by people when he eats a hamburger, has deeply experienced the beauty of becoming famous at a young age, and his life has also been greatly troubled.
However, how can a person who is born to eat this bowl of rice be willing to throw away the rice bowl in front of him to rob other people's bread?
Zhang Yishan was naturally admitted to the Beijing Film Academy and seriously learned acting.
It stands to reason that all this is to pave the way for Zhang Yishan's popularity later, but since the filming of "Residual Sin" and "Qiqi Me", Zhang Yishan's image has shown a cliff-like decline.
Not only did he break up unhappily with his ex-girlfriend Song Yanfei, but he was also repeatedly rumored by the media, which seriously damaged Zhang Yishan's personal image.
Now, Zhang Yishan has not had any film and television masterpieces for nearly two years, I don't know where he will go next?
2. Xie Mengwei
When it comes to Zhang Yishan, we must talk about Xie Mengwei. Because Xie Mengwei is a child star who debuted at the same time as Zhang Yishan, but debuting at the same time does not mean that the development of the two will be the same.
Before Xie Mengwei was excavated by director Xu Geng, he was just an ordinary little boy who grew up in the countryside.
Born in a rural area, he knows some martial arts, which happens to be very similar to the protagonist of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", so he has become the best choice for "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".
The first time you shoot a TV series, you can get unanimous recognition from the audience, which is undoubtedly the best assist for Xie Mengwei, and the image of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" is also firmly droughted on Xie Mengwei.
Perhaps because Xie Mengwei's appearance itself is not outstanding, the audience's impression of him has always stayed at the stage of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", so that after he grows up, he is not highly recognizable in the entertainment industry.
And Xie Mengwei did not choose the road related to performance to move forward like Zhang Yishan, but chose to keep up with the pace of the times and opened the road of making money with live streaming on the live broadcast platform.
In the end, Xie Mengwei was criticized by CCTV for selling fake wine in the live broadcast room, and the live broadcast room was also banned by the platform.
After realizing that the road of live streaming would not work, Xie Mengwei remembered his identity as a child star.
But the entertainment industry at this time is no longer the era of "little soldier Zhang Ga", where can there be a place for Xie Mengwei?
Xie Mengwei could only pay for his once foolish behavior.
3. Wu Lei
Wu Lei is really a very scarce "cultivation department" male protagonist in the entertainment industry.
began to shoot advertisements at the age of 3, starred in Little Nezha at the age of 5, and then took root in the film and television industry while going to school, and now finally became the male number one in film and television dramas, along the way, the audience is like watching their own children grow up, and their hearts are full of infinite emotion.
But all the audiences who have seen the plays that Wu Lei played when he was a child know that Wu Lei looked fleshy when he was a child, very much like a meat ball, which made people want to reach out and pinch it.
As a result, more than ten years have passed, and the once small meat ball has turned into a salty boy with good facial features and beautiful eyebrows, and he is definitely one of the best male protagonists in the entire entertainment industry.
Therefore, today's Wu Lei has only one "Star Han Splendid" to sit on the throne of the post-95 powerful actor, and it will definitely be a bright star in the future!
4. Chen Xingxu
When "East Palace" was first broadcast, 80% of the audience thought that Chen Xingxu was an unknown newcomer to the film and television drama?
But when "East Palace" became popular, the audience took a serious look to know that Chen Xingxu was actually a child star!
When Chen Xingxu was 3 years old, he was discovered by scouts and starred in the first TV series "The Years of Passion Burning", Chen Xingxu, who couldn't understand the script at all, not only had to rely on his mother to read it to himself word by word, but also was scared to cry by Sun Haiying, who played his father in the play.
Every time he thinks back on this experience, Chen Xingxu will feel particularly aggrieved.
However, Chen Xingxu is also a person with excellent luck, after acting in "The Years of Passion Burning", he played the role of Pan Dongzi in "Shining Red Star", which further laid the foundation for Chen Xingxu to become an actor in the future.
After that, Chen Xingxu had good performance in film and television works such as "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", but every time he played a supporting role, he did not make a deep impression on the audience.
It was not until "East Palace" was launched in 2019 that the affectionate but black-bellied male protagonist Li Chengyin appeared, and Chen Xingxu finally squeezed into the ranks of post-95 actors.
5. Shi Xiaolong
To say that the child stars in the entertainment industry really come out of the circle based on their strength, Shi Xiaolong must be one of the representatives.
Born into a martial arts family, Shi Xiaolong became the apprentice of Shi Yongxin of Shaolin Temple at the age of 2, and Shi Xiaolong has been practicing martial arts with his master in Shaolin Temple ever since.
Until the age of 5, Shi Xiaolong was invited to star in the movie "Laughing Forest Kid", and he showed his extraordinary martial arts skills in the movie at a young age, and Shi Xiaolong was well known to the audience.
At the age of 6, Shi Xiaolong once again partnered with Lin Zhiying and Hao Shaowen to star in the movie "New Oolong Courtyard", and Shi Xiaolong, who also dedicated his excellent martial arts skills, really became one of the few movie stars in the 90s and 00s.
It's a pity that at the age of 15, Shi Xiaolong gave up the great resources of the entertainment industry and went to the United States to study alone.
When he returned from study, the entertainment industry had long lost the status of "Shi Xiaolong", especially when he grew up, Shi Xiaolong's body shape was blessed and his appearance was degraded, so that the audience almost couldn't recognize it.
Nowadays, Shi Xiaolong can only rely on soy sauce in film and television dramas to brush his sense of existence.
6. Hao Shaowen
Hao Shaowen, who debuted at the same time as Shi Xiaolong, was also a star path that year.
In particular, Hao Shaowen's fleshy face and fat body make the audience want to rush into the big screen and rua him fiercely.
A pair of sunglasses and a hat is the best look for Hao Shaowen, and every appearance must be a sensation.
In just a few years from the age of 4 to 10, Hao Shaowen did make a lot of money for his family, and his family regarded him as a cash cow.
However, later, in order to concentrate on his studies, Hao Shaowen stopped working in the entertainment industry, and thus disappeared from the public's view.
Hao Shaowen's mother also took all the money earned by Hao Shaowen filming to invest, and finally lost everything, and the teenage Hao Shaowen could only go to school while working.
From a rising child star to a poor student who can only live by part-time work, Hao Shaowen's life has indeed had great ups and downs.
Fortunately, Hao Shaowen is still a contented person, even if he does not have the fame of the year, he can live his life well.
Last month, Hao Shaowen got married, and Shi Xiaolong also served Hao Shaowen as his best man, and this childhood friendship is also extremely precious.
7. Cao Jun
16-year-old Cao Jun starred in "Baolian Lantern", which has become the childhood memories of many post-90s generations, and the plot of Agarwood saving his mother has also touched countless audiences.
However, the reason why the audience likes Cao Jun is not because of Agarwood, but because Cao Jun has already starred in too many classic film and television roles before playing Agarwood, so the audience's liking of Cao Jun has long been not limited by the role.
8-year-old Cao Jun played the naïve and cheerful little monk in "Real Name Little Monk", this role happens to be similar to Cao Jun himself, so Cao Jun is not difficult to play.
After that, Cao Jun played the male protagonists Nezha and County Taiye in the two classic TV series "Lotus Boy Nezha" and "Nine-year-old County Taiye", with these two roles Cao Jun completely opened up his fame in the film and television industry and became a well-known child star.
Then there was a chance to star in "Pauline Lantern".
It's a pity that the development of Cao Jun in the film and television industry after growing up is not ideal, the drama is not popular or popular, and even fell to the point where there is no drama to film.
In the first two years, participating in variety shows had a little popularity, but in the end it slowly fell flat.
8. You Haoran
You Haoran has always given people the feeling of being both honest and honest, whether it is playing Xia Yu in "Family with Children" or in real life, he has always been indisputable.
Therefore, after the 8-year-old You Haoran became popular because of his role in Xia Yu, even if there were some resources to find him, he never had his "brother" Zhang Yishan and "sister" Yang Zi develop smoothly in the entertainment industry.
Especially if he failed the Nortel exam twice in a row, the blow to You Haoran was not ordinarily big. Even if he was admitted for the third time, You Haoran's pace was still more than half slower than others.
Coupled with the fact that when he grew up, You Haoran faded his cute appearance as a child, and neglected the management of the body to lead to a blessed figure, for various reasons, You Haoran's development in the film and television industry has gradually become difficult.
Although he still insists on participating in film and television dramas, he can only play a supporting role and the like, and it is difficult to be popular again.
9. Meng Zhichao
Almost every child star has a masterpiece behind it, and Meng Zhichao's masterpiece is "Sanmao Wandering".
Meng Zhichao, who has been outgoing and loves acting since he was a child, will take the initiative to sign up whenever he sees an activity in school. It is precisely because of Meng Zhichao's initiative that he easily won the opportunity to star in "Sanmao Wandering".
Meng Zhichao boldly shaved his hair into the appearance of "Sanmao" in front of more than 6,000 competitors, and no one is more suitable for playing "Sanmao" than him.
However, the success of "Sanmao" also brought great trouble to Meng Zhichao, Sanmao's deliberate ugliness had great restrictions on Meng Zhichao's future role choices, and Meng Zhichao did not appear in other excellent film and television works after Sanmao.
Now 36 years old, he can only play supporting roles in various film and television dramas.
10. Xie Yunshan
Xie Yunshan is also familiar with Tinkerbell.
Born ordinary, he originally wanted to strengthen his body by practicing martial arts, but he accidentally got the opportunity to debut.
7-year-old Xie Yunshan was handpicked as the male protagonist by the director of "Douding" because his temperament and image matched the protagonist "Douding".
After the first film and television work made Xie Yunshan famous in the film and television industry, Xie Yunshan officially began his interpretation road.
13-year-old Xie Yunshan appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time, performing the sketch "Me and Dad Change Roles" with Guo Donglin; Later, Xie Yunshan played the male number one "Chen Wenjie" in "Young Daqin Cha", and has been popular all over the country.
Along the way, Xie Yunshan was quite favored by God.
It's a pity that Xie Yunshan after becoming an adult, the road to film and television is not as beautiful as in childhood, no one watches the TV series he has filmed, and the movie is also unpopular.
Now 33 years old, he has also participated in some film and television dramas, and most of them have been voice actors in recent years.
In the entertainment industry, luck is a part, but personal effort is also very important.
There are fewer and fewer "child stars" who are still active today.
